West-Jersey pioneer., 1866-11-09

From all that We can gather, there will
be Union majority in both branches of
the state legislature, which will secure
them the election of United States
Senator in the place Of Mr.. Wright,
recently deceased, aud which with Mr..
Cattell, already elected, casts the vote of
New Jersey in the Senate on the Repub.
lican side. For congress the RepubI.
cans have probably carried four Of the
five congressional representatives, a gain
for them of two.
In the eleven other states whore elections
were held On Tuesday the results confound
the specific calculations of the polite ians
although the general status of things is not
materially changed.
In the city Of New York the Democratic
candidate for Governor (Hofman) received
the unexpectedly large majority of 46, ,425, but
the State elects Fenton, the Republican, by
10000; close contest in sucha mass of voters
as belong to that State. John Morrissey, a
prize fighter and keeper of gambling hells, and
who has been convicted in the Courts of
burglary and similar crimes is elected from
New York city to Congress. The Congress-
jonal delegation from the State will remain
about as it was, 19 Republicans and II Demo-
Gratis, not more than a change of one on
either side. The entire Legislature of the
State is Republican which secures them a
United States Senator.
Delaware goes Democratic by about 500
majority; she sends one member to Congress,
reelecting the former incumbent.
Maryland contounds everybody. From the
political war which had been going on there it
was supposed by both parties that under the
present aspects of their case the Republicans
were sure of success. But the election gave
the complete triumph to the Conservative DEM
ocracy, Baltimore going 1900 majority in their
favor, the first time in eight years. -Four Con-
servative Congressman to one Republican,,
and the entire Legislature are the fruits of
their victory. Their majority in the Legisla-
ture secures them a U. S. Senator in the
place of Mr.. Cresswell, (Rep.,) the present
incumbent.
Massachusetts, gives 10000 Republican
majority and elects her entire Congressional
delegation and of course her Governor
Among the Congressman elected are Gems.
Butler and Banks, both of whom have resided
in New Orleans and profess to understand the
South. There are two colored men elected
in this State as members of the Legisl ature, a
fact which will open the eyes of the chivalry
most terribly as prophecy of the ssgood time
coming for them in the future. s
Wisconsin gives Republican majority of
10000. The Legislature has full Union
majority, and four of their five Congressman
are of the Congressional party.
Kansas lgives a Republican majority and
elects her entire State ticket and her one Con-
gresham. -
Minnesota goes entirely Republican and
elects two members ofCongress.
Missouri sends but few returns as yet, but
the indications are of Republican success.
Illinois goes Union with largely increased
majorities. In the Township in which Gen.
Grant resides the Republican gain is so.
In Vermont where there was special elec-
tions to fill vacancies, a boiling republican was
ousted, and radical put in his place.
As far as we canjudge, among the 81 con-
gressmen elected on Tuesday, the relative
positions stand about the same, and will give
over two third majority to the Republicans,
either in the House of Representatives or
Senate chamber; and thus leave that party in
its present position, a position which holds
sufficient power to control any veto the presi-
dent may interpose to their legislation.
Further comments however must be defer
ed to future issue. fs
