TIE LOUISIANA ELECTION.
Hon. michael Hahn Elected Governor.

We have received through the courtesy Of
Edward Spencer, master Of the steamer En-
press, a copy Of the New Orleans Times, Of
The s3d ult., containing news from the elec-
tion, which transpired on the ed The Times
says cditorially:
The election yesterday for Governor and
other State officers was marked throughout
by the greatest quiet and good order. From
the opening to the cloee Of the polls consid-
rrablc spirit was manifested by the support
ers OF the various candidates, and election
eering arguments and artitices were nvalled
OF, b1t not the slightest breach Of the peace
Remembering tho scenes OF past years
which have attended the polls, md fonlly
disgraced this city, the good order which pre-
vailed yesterday is very high compliment to
the admirable government OF the city at this
time. And now that the administration Of
from the cnre OF the military into the hands
Of civil officers, let Us hope that the Eeins Of
Government have been given to men every
way worthy and competent, and who will
exercise the greatest scrutiny and caution In
the appointment Of all those under them.
The result Of the election can scarcely have
disappointed any one Public opinion had
for some time regarded the election Of MI
chacl Hahn as an event Of almost certain &C.
currence. The friends Of Mr. Flanders scarce.
" hoped to succeed, while the adherents of
Mr.. Fellows knew they were greatly in the
minority, with no apparent chance whatever.
The returns, as far as received, indicate
that Nj. Hahn has polled more votes than
that OF the aggregate number Of his oppo-
nents, and is, beyond doubt, elected to the
important Office of Governor Of Lonisls m.
The returns from the country parishes may
vary, but cannot change this result. The to-
tai vote is greatly beyond that required by
the Presidents proclamation.
And now, as the restoration Of civil Gov
e1nment to Louisiana, and free State auspi-
ces, has been most happily inaugurated, We
devoutly trust, and confidently believe, the
future Of our State will be all that has been
predicted for II, one Of nncxampled progress
sion and prosperity.
The following Is the result for Governor as

offered for the apprehension Of the criminal,
but without avail Although he wns at diff.
", he always managed to escape and the
hopes Of ever getting him had Of late almost
vanished. Tie circumstances that led to
his discovery and arrest arc somewhat sin
gular and were purely accidental. A young
soldier who is at present stationed at Camp

murder referred to, happened to meet him in
this city and recognized him. McCombs

On Tucsday last, the newly cd Rspub-
lican State Senator Of Pennsylvania was made
lion Of at Harrisburg, being escorted to the
Capitol by great procession, with banners,
speeches and lurrahs. The first business,
after taking his seat, was the passing Of the
Soldiers Voting bill BY II to 16, every Re-
publican voting Yes, and every Democrat
Nay. This result wns hailed with tremeu-
dous cheers. The Democrats then flllibus-
tered to prevent business going on, and final
ly refused to yote ut all. Their rage at the
possibility of the soldiers voting was as bit
ter as 1t was impotcnt

critic Mayor By 700 majority. segmour's
