Election Returns.
PENNSYLVANIA.

New YoRK, Oct. ia Washington
special dispatch to the Tribune claims over
5000 Abolition majority on the Pennsyl
vanis home vote, based upon the latest re-
turns from Philadelphia and Harrisburg.
The World figures a Democratic majority
on the home vote of geo, and insists that
they have carried the State.
The Tribune claims that the Abolition
majority will be, with the soldiers vote,
10000.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 1.-THE Inquirer
says the corrected returns foot up an Abo-
lition majority on the home vote of 1856.
HARRISBURG, Pa, Oct. 1.-THE commits
s~ioners, with few exceptions, have returned
from the army, bringing with them the re-
turns which show an overwhelming Abo.
lition preponderance. But veryfew official
returns of the home vote have reached the
Secretary's Office. The return judges
doubtless prefer to await the reception O
the soldiers vote before sending them in
INDIANA.
New YORK, Oct. 17.-Voorhees was re
elected to Congress by a majority OF less
than 100, but a gross illegality is TO be con
tested which it is believed will alter the
res ult.
CINCINNATI, Oct. l7.-Rsturns from 70
counties give an Abolition majority OF
1925.
MARYLAND.
New York, Oct. IA Washington spe
cial to the Tribune says the majority for
the new Maryland Constitution will be
about 500.
BALTIMORE, Oct. 1.-THE returns are all
in. The home vote foots up 1890 against
the new constitution and IL 246 for it,
showing . deficiency in the home vote Of
1874 votes to secure its adoption, but the
soldiers vote thus far received amounts to
2,463, making the majority for the consti'
tuition 889, which will be increased, it is
thought, by not less than 500 votes more.
Thus the new constitution is clearly adopted
and Maryland will henceforth rank as a free
State.
