VorE OF THE CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS.
We are now able to give the results OF
the election, in approximate figures, for all
of the Congressional Districts except the
Sixth. s9
The First Distribution. ]. F. Wilson's

gain Of 4, 800 over the home majority OfMr.
Wilson two years ago. Not county in the
district goes for the Cops.
In the Second District-Hon. Hiram
Pr;ce'-swe figure up from authentic data
Union majority Of S, l09! On the Con-
majority.
In the Third Distribution. VIM. B. Alli-
son s-the Union majority is 2 S67, which is
quite gain, Notwithstanding the increased
Copperhead majority in Dubuque county.
In the Fourth Distrlct-Hon. J. e. Grin
nell's-the changes were marvellous. Two
years ago Mr.. &. was beaten I'll on the
home vote. His majority this year with
out the soldiers votes, is ], S73, with pros
pect that the complete official figures will
bring him out more than 1900 ahead

proud.
Two years ago, this (Finh) District gave
Mr.. Kasson majority Of ], leo on the home
vote. This year his majority may be put
down at ). 100. It may reach 4, 600; but as
we has e no report thus far from. Ringgold,
Union, Shelby, Adams and Adair Coun-
ties, we are not able to figure with Official
exactness.
The returns, so far, are scattering from
the Sixth District, as will be seen by the
table in another column. Enough is known,
however, to warrant the statement that A.
w. Hnbbard'smsjority will reach, If not ex-
coed, 5000.

stand about as follows: LIST. 4,64s I'd. 5, 100
