members of the Legislature, and to fill the va
caneY in the 10th congressional district. We
have already announced the election of Case, Re-
publican. The vote stands, according to the la
test returs-Case l725, Worden (Dem.) zoos /;
Cases majority 72O, which is nearly double the
majority that Brenton received last year. A let.
ter from Hon. Schuyler Colfsx says -
Gases victory has been obtained by a most
untiring speaking twice a day, and over
coming, by the most unceasing and energetic eff
fort the apathy which, in consequence of there
being no general election this year, existed in the
district when he entered the field"
The returns for the Legislature are favorable to
the Republicans. In Tippecanoe county the
whole Republican ticket is elected by 652 maiori-
ty, which is gain Of 800 on last Fall. In Cass
comfy, Judge Wright Republican, has been
elected to fill the vacancy in the Legislature &C.
cationed by the resignation of w. J. Cullen.
This is gain. In Fountain county the Demo-
Gratis have succeeded by about one hundred ma
Jority. White county is largely Republican
Jasper county gives $50 Republican majority, be.

The Lafayette Qnd) Courier of Thursday IN
forms us that ex-senator John Petit, one of the
lights Of Indiana cold lineism, has been defeat
ed candidate for the judgeship in that circuit.
Charles H. Test, Republican, a lawyer, and a
gentleman, has been elected by about 400 major
ity.
IowA.-It is believed that Judge Lowe, Re.
publican, has been elected Governor by 1000 ma
iority. Samuels, the administration candidate,
has gained 500, however, on the Fremont vote
in twenty-one counties. The accounts as to the
Legislature are contradictory. The Chicago
Tribune says the Republicans have secured a
majority, which will elect a Republican Senator
in the place Of Jones, the present incumbent.
OHIo.-The complete though not entirely Of
fetal returns from Ohio indicate the reelection
of Governor Chase by nearly 1000 majority. the
Fillmore Americans, who polled $4,000 votes last
FALL when the Republican plurality was only
l6,600 have this year given their own ticket less
than 5000, their gubernatorial candidate himself
voting the Democratic ticket and urging its
election. And yet as against an apparent gain
to the Democracy of % 600 votes from this source
alone, Governor Chase is probably elected. The
Legislature is lost, however, to the Republicans,
for there was not single American Legislative
ticket sofar as known, throughout this State.
KANzAs.-The correspondent of the Mis-
souri, Democrat writes
Laurence, Oct. 9.-The latest returns give
the contest a very doubtful aspect Both par
ties are claiming majorities. The pro. slavery
party concede that Parrott is elected, but talk
Of contrasting his seat 1t can hardly be doubt
ed that the free State men have legally elected
a majority of both houses. But the bogus
Officials at Lecompton have already com.
menced tampering with the returns. On &C
count of some alleged informality in the ap,
pointment of the precincts, all the returns
from the county of Franklin, save those from
one precinct, have been thrown out. The re-
turns thus refused, were from four precincts,
and gave free State majorites."
MONEY AND BUSINESS IN ST. LOUISA friend
has kindly permitted US to copy the following
from a recent letter, received day or two since,
from an intelligent business man of this city, now
in St. Louis:
II do not know that I ought to say one word
about things here, but it may do some good 10
some poor fellows Well, in the first place if
any Of your banks have any Ct the notes of our
shoe houses, tell them not to be afraid of that,
nor to discredit the men, for there is hardly one
OF the shoe houses here which is not good, but it
is absolutely impossible for them to pay their
notes East, for the reason that, If they had the
money in wagon-loads, they cannot get it across
the country. There is no exchange at any price,
and il there was, they would not dare to buy it
of any banker, nor OF any of the banks. The
only mode is, to send the specie and then, sever.
al of the express companies are under protest.
Remember, our banks all went into operation in
August, and pay specie. The old bank expired
and took new charter then. Their circulation
is small, as well as their capital, and they will
continue to pay specie. Usually, at this time of
the year, our leyee, one mile in length, is piled
with goods and produce from one end to the 9TH
er, SO that many and many time, dray-lovd of
goods, sent from store to a boat, will be gone
hours, and then the goods brought back to the
store, because the drayman could not get through
the piles of produce and draymen, to the boat, TO
ship the goods. Now, you may drive from one
end of the leyee to the Other, without Interrupt
ton, and not find produce enough on the whole
leyse to load one steamboat How, then, can we
make any exchange? 1t is impossible. The
country is full of property, in produce, and Mis-
souri, is full of the gold spent by the Government
in fitting out the U tab expedition-over two mil
lions-and one million more the troops have
taken in coin with them TO Utah, all of which
must run back through here. Soon, therefore, as
the crops can be moved by Specie we shall have
plenty of exchange here, and not before.
All men are thrown out of employment, every
where, and dreadful Winter is before US"
