The November elections have resulted
in an overwhelming Republican victory
Twelve States held their elections last
Tuesday, electing ninety one members (, (
Congress, of which number sixty-six are,
no doubt, radical. Seven States held
their elections in September and October,
making nineteen which have already
voted, electing to Congress one hundred
and twenty five Republicans and thirty.
seven Democrats. In the House the re-
lative strength Of the two parties for the
next Congress is not altered, while in the
Senate Republican gain of four may be
counted upon. Two of them have lately
been chosen, namely: the Hon. A. G.
Cattel of New Jersey, and the Hon. II
w. Corbett Of Oregon. The new legis-
lature Of Pennsylvania has to elect a
Republican Senator in place of the Hon.
Edgar Cowan, and that Of New-Jersey to
make the same amends by supplying the
vacancy caused by the death of the Hon.
VIM. Wright. To these must be added
the Hon. Cornelius Cole of California, in
place of Senator James A. McDougal.
Should Colorado be admitted, two more
Republican Senators will be gained. We
have lott Senator in Maryland, so this
leaves our gain but four.

GEORGIA The Governor of Georgia,
in his annual message to the legislature Of
that State, announces himself unalterably
opposed to the Constitutional Amend
ment. Of course he does. One of the
sections of the amendment declares that
traitors who have added perjury to their
crime of treason are henceforth ineligible
to office. The Governor is one of thi,
class, and it is matter of personal inter.
est to him to oppose the amendment. -
The people of Georgia, however, may
see things in different light.

State could walk up TO the polls and de-

New. York city, Brooklyn and Maryland,
for causes already enumerated, the result
would have been more striking, though
the lesson could have given no more in
struction. But with all this light which

we can hardly expect of him the manl
ness to confess that he was wrong, and to
accept the decision of the people.
