MADISON, Wis, April Is, 1868.
The result Of our recent election is now
pretty well known, though returns hare come
in very slowly. 1tnow appears probable that
Judge Dixon will have majority against
him on the home votc Of about 4 600. It may
be less, but that is not likely. The soldiers
will give Dixon abouts 600 majority, or about
Ayc-sixths or six-ecvcnths Of all the vote,
though if MI the regiments had understood

German and the other Irish, and two or three
artillery companies, misled by past party af-
finities and led by Democratic organs 10 be-

man, and as fit for Judge Us his competitor,
voted for the regulnr Democratic candidate,

The home vote has done much to strengthen
