gress, from Ohio, and he ought to succeed
Vallandigham appears TO be reelected by
121 majority, but the republicans are pre-
pared to prove 800 fraudulent votes for him

of Philadelphia, on which John M. Butler,
republican, holds his certificate of election
to Congress, was made by Breckenridge
democrat, William Byerly. The ward is
and always has been largely democratic.-
Lehman, the regular democratic candidate
for Congress, was Douglas man, and his
nomination caused much hard feeling in the
other wing of the party, so intense, in fact,
that until within short time of the election,
Florence, the old member, was an indepen-
dent candidate, running avowedly to produce
his defeat Florence withdrew, bnt the
breach was not healed and the method of
forged return which the democrats know
so well how to use, was adopted to produce
the desired result. The republicans with
one accord everywhere denounce the fraud,
and the House will without doubt correct il
at an early day, unless it appears that coun.
ter frauds of exceeding results were perpe-
trated, which is what Mr.. Butler claims i;
the fact.

Rensselaer, county, where sharp local fight
Is IN progress between the republicans on
one side and the Democrats and Americans
combined on the other. According to
former votes the fusion ought TO carry the
county by from 5000 to $500. but they lack

glad to be assured of success at all.
