THE ELECTIONS.

In NEw-YoRK we are told that Democratic
figures give Seymour II 900. We cannot make
it much over $500 at present, but think it
will be likely TO go over 10000 when the full
returns arc in. Other authorities report the
election of Maroni, Union, instead Of Blood,
Dem., in the XyIIItb Congressional District We
have no figures to prove IT, aud so give the
other side The benefit of the doubt. The AS
sembly is pretty evenly divided-wc count G3
Union, 62 Democrats, and three yet undecided
There is no probability of the election of
Democrat to the United States Senate.
The yOte for Governor in 33S cities and town
ships in MASSACHUSETTS sums up as follows;
Andrew (Repub.l 7s,95S Deyens People d .53 ,73j
Andrews majority. 25,s3.
The Few towns yet TO be heard from will
probably increase this majority slightly. One
(J. s. Sleeper) of the ten Members of Congress
elect from this State was Peoples" can
didate: but be, like Gen. Devens, voted fo'
Lincoln and supports his Administration. The
Senate was already known to stand 81 Repub-
lican to Peoples. TO the House, 1872 Repuo-
hcan. Se all sorts, are known to have been
chosen, leaving 10 to be heard from.
NEw.JERsEY continues TO be more DEM
ocratic. Reports from all the counties show
over A,0OO majority for Parker, Dem, for
Governor. The State Senate stands is Dem
ocrats and Unionsts; the Assembly. AZ Dem
ocrats and IL Unonists; Democratic minority
of 30 on joint ballot.
DELAWARE elects the Union Governor (Can-
non) by Ill majority. Our Congressman is
lost-the Democrat (Temple) has % majority.
ILLINOIS has gone after Indiana and Ohio
into the embraces of the Democracy. Latest
dispatches from Chicago make from $4,000 TO
%, 600 majority, probably 9 Democrats in Con-
gress to Unionists; the Assembly two-thirds
Democrats, and majority of one or two in the
Senate for the same party.
MICHIGAN keeps the true faith. The Re
publican Union State ticket is elected by
5000 majority; four Union Congressmen are
known to be chosen, and the other two Dis.
tricts are open to chance, so far as the returns
inform U.s.
