Prom she Chicago Times,
But two precincts are lacking to eomplsts the
returns Of this city on CongressnaR. Arnold
is rs ahead, which viii probably be more than
overcome By the remaining precincts. Our i'm
preston is that Sherman has somewhere about
one hundred msjoTity in the city. Two years
ago the Republican majority was 200 In the
country towns. without exception, the Demo
cratic gains are large, and if Arnold is elected,
it is By q meagre majority Of possibly FIVE hun
dred- bis majority in city and county two
years ago was 1921
We believe the Damoerslic candidates for
Representatives in The legislature rs-elested in
The South Side district. These are gains.
The Democracy would have carried the city
handsomely but for ons Of the most shameless
and seandRlOus frauds that has ever been per-
petrRted At an election. What is called the
HeckeT regiment arrived here at about 2 o'clock
P. n from Springfield, ossensibly on their way
to Washington, having been brought this round
about route, At large cost 70 the government,
for the use TO which they were put. On their
arrival, the greater part of them were divided
into squads, which, with arms in their hands
proceed, under competent leadership, to roam
from poll to poll. Possibly from fifty to one
hundred of the regiment we're legal voters, but
not less than six hundred votes were east by
them! The agent of TINS audscious fraud was
the governor of Illinois himself, who had pre-
eeded the regiment to this city, and who, during
the day, degraded his Office and disgracsd him
self by going about to the different sloction pre-
cincts We shall have more TO say Of this
business hereafter, thus mentisning il now as
explaining the result in this city. The result,
however, though affected BY this fraud, is mag
nihcenf and places Chicago permanently in the
list of democratic cities
We have no doubt of the result in the State.
Though the Teturns are scattering, they exhibit
immense Democratic gains. We set down the
State as Dsmocraticsb by thousands.
From New York the intelligence is equally
glorious Seymour Is elected by fifteen thousand
maj j9rity, and we have large gains in Con
gressmen.
In New Jersey, too, the revolution is com
plete, tbs Democrats carrying everything before
them.
The indications are good for Wisconsin Pot
ter, for Congress, in the Milwaukee district,
seems to be beaten, and We predict that the re-
suit in the State will bs alike gratifying.
If sbOlitionism has not been wholly over
thrown in Michigan, il has received shock 50
damaging that it viii be al the mercy Of the
Democracy hereafter.
And even Massachusetts is penetrated By the
grest revolution. Her conservative candidate
for Governor leads IN Boston, and 3 member Of
Congress is gained in the same city. We are
not without hope of tbs State.
We have nothing from Missouri.
Altogether, commencing with the elections

and consequences, is unexampled in the history

p" The PEACE PROPOSALS a. FORGERY. =
The New York Herald's Washington letter thus
disposes Of the peace proposal said to have been
made by General Lee to the Yankee govern
ment
It's now definitely sscertained that the alleged
" peace proposals " said to have been made by
General Lee to our government, during the first
DAYS of the invasion of Maryland, about which
SO many rumors have recently been in eireula-

probably the work of some stock speculator who

such proposals were believed 70 have been re
ceived here there is abundent evidence, not
merely ia the press of the North, but in that
of the South the Savannah Republican and
Charleston Mercury having made copiOus sllu
sions TO the subject. From these facts, and
other evidence attending the receipt of the docu-
ments by the Secretary of State, there is no
doubt that the whole thing is hoax, played by
some officer in the rebel army, perhaps by way
of 2 feeler for Northern sentiment. But that the
thing itself is forgery is made manifest both
by certain blundeTs which the rebel general
could not possibly have committed, and also by
