November Returns.

November Returns.
In New York the opposition have elected
their Governor, L. d. Morgon, by II to 10000
maj, two thirds Of the Legislature and nearly
all the Congressman. The issue was Lecomp-
ton.
in Massachusetts ditto, only more so.
In Michigan Geo. b. Cooper, Dem, is elected
to Congress in the Detroit district over VIM
A. Howard, Republican-.he balance of the
Rep. ticket has succeeded.
In Wisconsin, Potter and Washburn are re-
elected to Congress and Billinshurst, Rep, is
beaten by Larrabee, Democrat. The Legsla'
ture is probably Republican.
liz New Jersey the sUnion" or Anti-Admin
istration ticket has succeeded unanimously on
Congress and very heavily in the Legislature.
In ILLINOIS, Douglas has achieved brill.
liant victory. There is majority Of S in each
branch Of the Legislature, thus securing him
the Senatorship without doubt. The latest
report gives small majority to the Republican
State ticket for Treasurer, Auditor and Attor.
ner General, but Egypt has not all been heard
from. But 1900 votes were cast for the Admin
istration state candidates. The Chicago Herald
says its friends got mad at the Catholics for
sustaining Douglas, and in a body they voted
the Republican ticket. 1t is falsely reported
that two Anti. Douglas Democrats are elected
to the Senate--it is equally false that any mem
beers of the Legislature are already purchased
to vote against Mr.. Douelas-the last report ID
freely circulated at Chicago.
On Thursday, Nov. 18th, the Chicagoans
will have a grand Douglas demonstration Ia
celebrate the victory. Throughout the whole
country men are rejoicing over the result in
Illinois. The feeling was as intense on receip,
Of the news as if the Presidency was involved.
Men shook hands, drank, hurra ed and felt glo.
rious. Douglas victory is nothing but his due.
and he has nobly earned il.

A week Or two since in referring to our new

what John Lawler had to say" Unfortunate-

Milwaukee Rail Road of which our friend is

"John Lawler" had not word ito say" in that
issue. The chow Of it" was this Mr.. Law
Ter got small job executed at our Office which
referred to matter that interested this side Of
the river and when we handed out the "copy"
we supposed it to be designed for insertion in
the paper, and in accordance with custom we
memorandumed it for editorial reference. Az
it never got into the paper our reference to it
was a mistake.-But this explanation does not
tell the whole story. More than twenty persons
have enquired of Us "where John LAWYERS

blazes TO satisfy several that tho reference was
not designed as little hoax. Most of our in.

care to discover it, and one gentleman assured
US he had read every advertisement in the pa.

actors associated with the deceased and q wit

US TO record this melancholy finale 10 the fight.
Mr.. Scoville was kind hearted man and when
not inebriated he was doubtless an excellent
citizen. 1t was not supposed here that he was
MORALLY or even dangerously wounded, but the
dreadful result is before us. We have not heard
of Dorman since the morning after the affray,
but we learn that measures are being taken TO
hunt him up and put the matter through an
examination. We are informed that Mrs. SEQ.

Ayers Aedicines.-In the publication of
Patent Medicines it is sometimes stipulated in
the contract that the Editor shall puff them
quarterly or oftener. We always draw line
over such propositions, and leave ourselves at
liberty to say something good. something bad
or nothing at al n it suits 10. This is our
position towards all our Advertisers of the char
actcr mentioned. but it is really pleasure to
US to commend Ayers medicines. Doctors are
not frequent professional visitors at our house,
and We believe our exemption from sick
ness is owing in great degree to the early use
of Ayers Pills in cases of attack. They arc
Sugar.coated and easily taken. but exceedingly
effective in regulating the business of the
stomach There may be other Pills equally o.
good. but there can BE- no better found for wes-
tern ills. Our lungs never require doctoring
ard hence We know nothing about the Pectoral
except from it, universal commentator by our
acquaintancss. Dr.. Aver is scientific man
and the fortune he is building up will rest on
the gratitude Of the public.
