ELECTION NEws.-Elections were held last
week for members of Congress and Of the
Legislature in New York, New Jersey,
Illinois, Massachusetts,, Michigan and Wis
consin. In New York, Michigan and Massa-
Governors and State officers were
also elected. At present, Massachusetts,, Wis
consin aud Michigan are represented in Con-
gross exclusively by Black Republicans, IL

two opposition, and New York by twelve
Democrats and twenty-one Republicans.
At this election, Massachusetts, again re-
turns a n entire black republican delegation
to Congress, and the same party elects its
Governor by some &c, 900 majority.
From New York it is reported that the
Congressional delegation stands 26 Republi-
cans to 7 Democrats loss of five. The
black republicans nave also elected the Gov

State of New York has endorsed the pro-
gramme of Seward-a warning of evil omen.
The democrats also lose one member from
New Jersey. ,
In Illinois, the contest was entirely be-
tween the Douglas Democrats, and the Black
Republicans, there being scarcely any ma

FIRE AT OLM.-We learn through Mr.. E..
B. Drake, that the house Of Mr.. A. M. ID.
Kennedy, at DIN, Iredell Co., was set on fire
by som villain on Friday night last, and des-
troyed. His loss is 81, ZOO. He had an in
surance of So, 900 on his merchandise. Mr..
Kennedy's loss in money on hand, is 50, 700;
but he is satisfied the incendiary secured
this, and it was that, most likely, which
stimulated him to the preparation of this
black crime. No clue as to the guilty person.
