THE GENERAL RESULT.

The general result of the elections held on
Tuesday, which were the last to occur this
year, is favorable to the Republicans. In New
York the Republicans have probably elected
their whole State ticket, and have majorities in
both Houses of the Legislature In Massa-
chusetts the Republicans have, as was antici-
pateG, swept everything, and reelected Gov
Banks by an increased majority. In New
Jersey CHARLES S. Olden, the Opposition can
didate for Governor is elected The Repub
licans have elected their Governor in Wscon-
sin by an increased majority. In Illinois the
election was for local officers and one member
of Congress to fill a vacancy occasioned by the
death of the Hon. T. L. Harris. Mr.. McCel-
and, Douglas Democrat is no doubt elected.
Louisiana on Tuesday elected the Democratic
State ticket, with three of the four members
of Congress-E Boulgay (Oppositon)
being chosen in the first district, lately repre-
sented by George Eustis (American)
TIoGA COUNTY The Republicans have
elected their entire ticket by majorities rang
ing from 400 to 600, as follows Thomas
harrington, Judge David EARL, Member of
Assembly d. o. Hancock, District Atty :;
Albert Williams, Supt't Poor; R. Miller,
Justice ; John Everett, and E. c. Coryell,
Coroners.
LYMAN TRUMAN, for Senator in the Twenty
Fourth District receives some 100 majority in
Tioga, 1900 in Tompkins and 3l5 in Broome,
Total, 1925.
CHEMUNG CoUNTY.-Gives a small majority
for the Republican state Ticket, and elects the

GERRIT SMITH AT THE UTICA AsYLUM.-The
Utica Observer of the 10TH says that Gerrit
Smith though very much derauged, is nat VI
olent He suffering from bodily as well as
mental illness. An Albany paper has pub
lshed the statement that for some time past
Mr.. Smith had his house surrounded with
armed men to prevent being taken to Virgin
ia. This is erroneous. Burglars entered his
business Office by night during the last Sum-
mer and carried away large sum of money
examined and disturbed his most valuable pa
pers. When every effort to discover the Of
tenders had failed, and the exposure of the
citizens of the quiet village to successful pill
age, was thus demonstrated Mr.. Smith with
his customary generosity, hired night patrol
for the security of Peterboro. In the Asy-
um Mr.. S. now occupies the room once ten
anted by the Hon. John NJ. Miles, formerly
United States Senator from Connecticut
Soon after his admission he refused to take an
anodyne, alleging that the physicians only
wanted to put him to sleep for the purpose of
taking him to Virginia When Informed that
he must take it, either voluntary or by compul-
sion, he opened the door, and screamed Unto
the Hal) II protest" He then took it qui-
etly. 1t is said that it was only by stratagem
that his friends succeeded in getting him to re.
tire. For several days before the absolute
necessity Of restrictive measures became ap
parent, he manifested most nervous anxiety
to anticipate the requisiticn which he expec-
ted would he made upon him, and to proceed
to Virginia and surrender himself into the
authorities. When it was resolved to place
him under restraint, this anxiety was taken
advantage of. His friends chimed in with the
notion, and when he set out for Utica he was
under the impression that he was on his way
to Richmond.

Po1NTING MoRAL-The result of the elec
tions in New Jersey. New York, Massachu-
settS, Michigan, and Wisconsin, may be re.
garded as among the last faults of Mr.. BU-
CHANAN's policy. He has tried his hand in
every one Of these States respectively. He in
suited the Democracy Of New Jersey by the
manner in which he treated such men as Col
j. w. WALL, Z. Y. WRIGHT, the Demo rltfc
candidate for Governor, RYERslN, ADRAIx,
BIGGs, and others he insulted the Democracy
OF New York by bis public and indecent court
ship Of JAMES GoRDoN BENNETT, of the New
York HeraH; he inSulted the Democracy of
Massachusetts, by setting his ofice-holders
upon the Democratic party in New England,
because Of their preference of Judge DoUGIAs;
he insulted the Democracy of Michigan by his
treatment to STUART, and the gallant men who
stood by the great Northwestern leader in
that State and he insutcd the Democracy of
Wisconsin by the manner in which he attemp-
ted to disgrace the leading men in that quar-
ter. The result of these experiments is before
US. Our people in Pennsylvania are, to this
moment, patient under his new attempt to de-
grade and disgrace them, as manifested by the
Interference Of his officials in the late primary
elections. Are we to wait for another general
election to convince ourselves that the Admin
istration cannot lead US anywhere but to de-
feat ?-F0rneyS Press

Bag A dreadful case of suicide took place

E$s A dreadful case of suicide took place
on Thursday last in Washington. young man named
LEWIS H. JONES shot himself at the house of his mother
on New York Avenue. His of life was character
zed by considerable irreguarity, which was cause of
great grief to an excellent mother who frequently re-
monstraed with him. Thursday morning she had again
been in conversation with him in relation to his rrepr
ates and concluded her maternal counsels by embrac
ing and kissing him, when he stepped back few feet
and drawing Derringer pistol from his pocket and
pointing 1t at his head, exclaimed I'll kill myself and
instantly discharged the weapon into his forehead The
ball entered the centre of the forehead and
the BRAIN finally lodging at the base of the skull near
the back OF the neck. Young JONES is described as a
youth OF very impulsive nature and accustomed from
boy to make use of threats of sedestructon in the
presence OF his family whenever his desires were resist
ed which threats intended TO be carried out
but rather to frightening his family 1t confidently
supposed by those who knew him well that on the pres
ent OCCASION in the exercise Of his habitual freak he
thus placed the pistol to his head for the purpose of
frightening his mother and while was in that position
accidentally pressed the trigger and what he intended
as cruel trick became fearful reality. The act was
committed in the paror.
The subject Of this unfortunate occurrence was well
known to most of our citizens having been for some time
in the employ of c. L. WARD Esq He was known bv
his associates as being of an impulsve temperament
though 1t was little expected that he would thus become
victim to his want Of selfcontrol.

STATE G ROC IN MAssACHUsETTS.-In Mas
sachusetts they still have prohibitory liquor
law. Under its operations the Governor ap-
points State agent, who furnishes to sub
agents, in the three hundred and odd towns,
liquors to be sold for manufacturing, medicinal
or mechanical purposes Said liquors are to
be pure and of the best quality The Office of
State agent was considered to be every fat
thing" in any point of view. But, it is charged
that the appointee of Governor BANKS made
it fatter by causing the liquors to be adulter-
ated, or extended" as the slarg term is.
Pending an investigation by Legislative
committee, the agent resigned said resignation
to take effect when the Governor could make
it convenient" to appoint successor competent
to take charge of the State grog. The Gov
ernor madeit convenient, it is said in less than
minutes time, and appointed one SLEEPER,
who would not awake to the responsibility of
the office, but respectfully declined

Mr.. Daniel Mccoy, conductor of freight
train on the Pennsylvania Railroad, saw a child
on the track when to late too stop the train
So he ran to the front of the engine, crawled
down on the cowcatcher, and holding himself
with one hand, leaned as far forward as posi-
bic, and as he approached the child, with
sweeping blow of the other he threw it off the
track. 1t was the work of an instant, and re-
quired steady hand and cool head to accom-
plish it, but he was equal to the emergency
The train was Immediately stopped, and on
going back the child was found lying at the
loot OF small embankment, some twenty or
thirty feet from the track of the road alive and
kicking, but somewhat stunned and bruised
The child belonged to farmer named NoF,
residing Immediately along the road

HE WISCONSIN RAILROAD ACCIDENT The
Chicago Times says the manner in which the
bodies of persons killed in the railroad disaster
near Watertown were mangled and torn to
pieces is almost to horrible to he believed

by the feet in some way SO that his body was
literally split asunder to some distance Yet

terminate his life, and thus his pain DR..
Miner, of Watertown, who was killed on the
platform, was so crushed between the cars
that not a single bone was left in his body un-
broken. Jerome Mason, an express agent had
his head cut open aud his bowels partly burnt
by the stove Mr. Sickles had both his legs
cut off below the knees, and afterwards sur
viVed amputating above the knees. He lived
but a short time afterwards Mr.. Brardman
was thrown from the car upon the ground, and
quickly rising upon bis feet reached his arms
upward to their fu! length, as if to grasp
something beyond his reach, then W: almost
superhuman strength was approaching the
ruins, in spite OF the resistance Of LIS friends,
who had taken hold of him then as suddenly
fell into the arms of those at hand, and i'm
mediately died. Mr.. PeterSilia had both legs
broken, or rather crushed, the flesh being torn
into shreds He lived about half an hour in
the most horrible agony All the others
killed were terribly torn and mangled The

ORGANIZATION OF THE HoUsE.-The organ
izaton of the national House of Representa-
tives is beginning to attract the attention of
politicians If caution is exercised by the OPP
position there is not a doubt that they will
have full control Of that body, securing for
themselves all the important Offices g In
DEPENDENT the Washington correspondent Of
the Philadelphia North american, furnishes
the following speculationS from head quar-
tiers, which we think are as worthy of credit
as the generality of bulletins that emanate
from the federal metropolis. But as he very
properly remarks, nothing positive can be
predicted at this early day
There are few scattering Senators here
temporarily, aud as yetno members Strenuous
efforts are making by the Administration to
prevent a union of the northern and southern
Opposition, in organizing the House. driving
in the Harper's Ferry affair as IL wedge to
open a breach. But if ordinary discretion be
observed, that event. so far from answering
this selfish party object, should be the very
means of bringing these interests together !;
which, after ALL are only divided by naQe
and not by a substance, except in regard 10
abstract ideas on the subject, of slavery. Both
sides would doubtless be prepared to pass res
oIutions condemning that outrage in the most
emphatic terms, and reprobating any such
movement whatever The northern OPP
position press have spoken out decsively and
it is freely admitted by all the leading men of
all parties here, that the tone of these journals
in particular, is not only unexeeptiouable, but
but worthy of oil praise as just, patriotic and
proper The partisans who have endeayored
to make capital out OF this tragedy, have over
done the business in their zeal to realize q
prompt profit, aud the motive being discovered
the reaction has begun 1t is a twoedged
sword when handled in this way, as may be
felt when reason asserts its full influence The
two most prominent candidates for Speaker,
of the Opposition, are Mr. Sherman, of Ohio,
and Mr. Grow, Of Pennsylvania. 1t is due to
the former to say, that he is an earnest and
faithful friend of the protective policy, as his
vote in Congress, on all occasions, prove The
latter is too well known in Pennsylvania TO
need any reference to his record. They are
both well Informed in parliamentary practice,
and capable in other respects
