Illtnois Election.
The reports from Chicago, night before
last, according to the ST. Louis Erening
Nsrs, showed Ii Republican Senators, IL
Douglas Senators, ank three dletricts to hear
from. In the House the Republicans had IS,
Douglas 33, and to hear from, to-wit two
ffon Madison. two from Fulton, ono from
Wabash and White, one from Hancock, and
one from Marlborough. We have no sui;-
cient reports Of the result upon tho State
ticket, or for congressman, upon which to
base definite opinion.
Federal Interference IN Elections.
We notice many complaints in the Doug
las papsrs Of Illinois and Iowa in regard to
tho Interference Of the President in tho re-.
can't canvass in Illinois. Upon what ground
b that complaint made7 IL it any thing new
for Locofoco Presidents to interfere in the
elections Of the States? Have not the very
nm that now complain oft heretofore, be-
sought and defended such interference p
How i it that they have just discovered the
snormity Of the crime Of Presidential patron
ego and influence being brought to bear upon
the State elections. Is it any worse for the
President TO interfere in the election in ILL.,
nois against Douglas, than it WAS to inter-
fsre against Blair in ST. Louisf Is it any
worss 10 remove Douglas of6ce- holders in H.
linoin than Il was TO gil up shd Navy Yard at
Phiisdslphia with hands expressly to vote for
Florence3 Was tho Federal interference in
Illinois any more reprehensibls than the sta
tioning Of two United States ships at Brook
lys in order that the crews might vote for
Sickles for Congress-
Look at this matter a. patriots rather than
partisans, and see how corruption and tyran-
~ have grown up and gathered strength I'M
der the practices Of the Administration, and
remember that the power now welded to sus-
tain party will eventually be used to over
throw tho liberties Of the country.
TMsrr PARDoks ros BAHxxrr vorss.--
Amongst other disgraceful revelations in the
contested case between Blair and Barrett, thu
fast has been brought to light that some thir.
~ pardons were issued to convicts on condi.
ton that they should vote for Barrett.
A witness BY the name Of Cunningham, q
Deputy Marshal, being on tho stand, made
the following answers to questions pro.
pounded:
A.-Well, the Deputy told mo that one Oh
more OF the parties, am not certain which
said that an arrangement had been made
that their fnc should be RENTED, providing
that they would vote for Barrett and the Ma
tional Democratic ticket--but now the cleo
tion ~as over, they wanted to tack on tel
dollars to each party.
Q.--Have you the names OF those parties
A.--Their names are on the docket, whici
! can get in q moment. The witness was do
sired to get the docket, and for that purpos
retired; in few moments he returned ant
produced tho docket Of the Criminal Court
from which he raad the liss Of names cha
bad been pArdoned By the Governor fsy
days prior 10 the last election, with tho 6ne

t0Caleb Gushing delivered speech be
fore the Virginia State Agricultural Society
u Richmond, the other day, in which be VA
especially careful to eschew any remark
on agriculture, or any subject, more directl
connected Herewith than the acquisition 3
Cuba. The extension Of the slave section q
tho United States, under tho benign auspics
Of Democratic President, would tend I
increase the demand for the staple produ,
tion Of Virginia, young mulattoss, hence Il
psrsinenoy Of the topic to an agricultural 81
