THE Election Returns in W6aiiagton.-A
large number of our Union citizens assem-
bled in the Union League Headquarters on
Tuesday evening, TO hear the returns of the
election from Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana
and Iowa. The efficient Chairman of the
State Central Committee, 5. NJ. Harrington,
ESQ, had made arrangements to procure by
| telegraph information in relation to the re-
suit. About halEpast seven O'Clock, the first
returns were received, and showed that the
Union party had made large gains. Upon
the reception Of this intelligence, cheer after
cheer rent the air. Later in the evening,
when the dispatches indicated that the Union
men had achieved u great and glorious vic
tory in Pennsylvania, Indiana, Ohio, and
Iowa, the enthusiasm was unbounded, and
speeches were made by number of gentle
men. At Il late hour Of the evening the
jubilant crowd dispersed to their homes,
well satisfied with the result, and deter

The disappointed Clymer.Johnsoniies as
sembcd in front of their headquarters last
night, TO hear the death -knell OF their party
Never was there more gloomy and des-
ponding-looking assembly. There were,
perhaps, several hundred persons present.
Before the returns came in, it was found ne
Cessary to resort to some means to cheer up
the sorrowiul crowd. Accordingya "A gentle
man came forward and attempted to elicit a
laugh by what he appeared to consider Il
very funny speech. This was an uphill
work. There WAS no laugh to be drawn out
of that congregation After II number OF
Intellectual efforts, tho speaker essayed an
anecdote, as lOllOws.-
"a nigger gal went from down South to
the North to get married. After the bonds
were tied, She called to sam, and said she
was tired OF the NDlto, and She was going
down South to lick Sal. This was no place
for the nigger,'
After this chastc, delicate and refined dis.
play of oratorical excellence, the speaker
called for the Keystone Club to fall in, but
! the members of that organization were not
, to be found
Three cheers were then called for the
Democratic ticket, which was responded to
very family the most Of the voices being
2 those OF urchns who will, if they live that
) long, he entitled TO vote some ten years
hence
VIM i. Rankin, Esq, then appeared al
the window and demanded to know where
l the Keystone Club was; but, alas there
was no response
Some one then cried out, ''Thrco cheer.

Q was given, which was as faint as the las
' signs OF dying man.
Mr. Rankin then announced that the re
turns as far as heard from, gave Genera
Geary four thousand majority in the city

and he would advise the people present to g
to their homes and be ready for their worl
in the morning.
The meeting then dispersed as quietly an(
G soemnly as camp meeting, after session
= OF piOus meditation.
, The whole affair was most solemn an,
dismal exhibition. In comparison with il
funeral gathering is bright and cheerful
Even the few lights they had burned dimly
