THE ELECTIONS.
PHILADELPHIA


PHILADELPHIA. Oct 1S
The vote on the State ticket is still in doubt
Good Judges of the election say that there will
not be five hundred votes difference on either
side.
HARRISBURG, Oct. Is.
Our information to-day is more encouraging
than yesterday. The Republican candidates
III three closely contested districts will get GER
tihcates, viz Thayer, Stuart and Wallace 1t
is thought that the Democratic competition
may try to contest their right before the
House. This will make the Congressional
delegation thirteen Republicans and eleven
Democrats. The Republican majority on the
joint ballot will probably be five or six. The
Democratic State ticket is probably elected by
SINAI! majority.
HARRISBURG, Oct. 10.
Fifteen Union Congressman, including Bal
ley IN the 10Th district are no doubt elected.
The State ticket is still doubtful, with the
chances in favor of the Democrats The
House will in all probability stand forty.six
Union to tfty-four Democrats. The Senate is
twenty Union TO thirteen Democrats. 1t is
generally conceded that there is a Democratic
majority on joint ballot.
CINCINNATI. Oct. 10.
Returns from siXty-siX Counties give Dem
ocratic majority of $4,000, being IA Democratic
gain of 10000 The Democratic majority in

slonal delegation stands fourteen Democrats
to five Union.
CINCINNATI, Oct. 10.
In Indiana the Democratic State ticket is
elected by 5000 to 5000 majority. The Dem
ocrats elect five Congressman and the Union
lists four. The result in the tenth and eleventh
districts are uncertain. The districts are
claimed by both parties. The Democrats elect
majority of both brances of the Legislature,
which secures the election of a Democratic
Senator for the vacancy occasoned by the ex-
pulsion of Bright.

The MiserIes of England.

In the last number of "Once Week" there
is a curious article entitled "where the Rsg-there
the family" which begins by portraying the mise
ries in England resulting from the war in this
country, and concludes by an appeal for the poor
women of England. Here are few of the wri-
ter's facts. He says that many of the Lancashire
mills closed for the want OF cotton, and while
there is an abundance of silk at Coventry there
is no demand for ribbons. The warehouses are
filled to 1verfowing with young women and
girls Out OF three millions of English women
of fitting years for work. two millions are at
work for their living; and the number of MARI
ageable women, who have no prospects of 90
tanning husbands at home, is six hundred thou
sand. Those who enjoy the privilege OF sewing
for living, usually receive only about fifty dol
lars per annum; and the writer states that out of
Ia ladies whom he knew to be thus supported,
l24 were unmarried daughters of professional
men. As the remedy Tor all these evils, the
writer suggests that the pour women of glorious
and proud England shall be hered together and
sent of to New Zealand, British Columbia, and
other inhospitable regions. From all this it
would seem that England IS oppressed with some
thing quite as bad, and very much like. slavery
1t would be we'll. / fancy, for this mistress OF
nations to stop her whining about unfortunate
America aud do something to emancipate her
own slaves.

The Effect of the Democratic Address
in Richmond.
Extract from private letter to the editor of
the Chicago Times, dated
WASHINGTON, May 10.

uteS, Oatcu
WASHINGTON. May 10.
An intelligent deserter from the rebel army
reports that the Democratic address which was
lately issued by Hon. VIM. A Richardson and
other Democratic members OF Congress, had been
received in Richmond. through copy Of the
New York Tribune, which had been Struggled
into the South for the purpose of copying its
leading articles, ia order 10 further in1ame the
Southern people against the Federal Govern
ment.
Bat the unfortunate Wythesville Gazette knew
no better than TO copy the address of Richardson
and friends. the result of which publication was
the expression. by many prominent citizens, of
favorable opinions in reference TO ''the COnstitu-
ton it is and the Union as il was" And the
Gazette was at once suppressed and the further
publication of the address ia the seeded States
declared reasonable 70 the interests of the Con
Tolerate Government. it tends To the Eestora-
ton OF the old Union, and thereby demOralizes
the army OF the South, distractS public sentiment,
and dssipates that unanimity of confidence in
the D.gis Government which il is desirable to
maintain.
The deserter whose name is James I Marks,
states that nothing in the Northern papers has
ever alarmed the leaders of the rebellion as the
address in question, and that the few copies of it
which have gotten out among the farmers in
Grayson county, Virginia, have done more TO
Iaralyze the upraised OF parricide than
thousand proclamations could accomplish 1t is

the rebel Government in Richmond the most

to stimulate the Southern mind 10 make new sac

nothing helps to revive the dropping spirits of
