We have glorious news, from all quarters,
held in the States of Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Indiana and Iowa have responded in thunder
tones, condcmning my Policy to utter
destruction.
In Pennsylvania, where the most desper-
ate efforts of the enemy were tried, to break
the Republican ranks, the bread and butter
paid brigade, with the old Rebel and Cop
perhcad party, were utterly routed.
The Republicans gain in the State two
members of Congress, the Hon. John Co
vode and Col. IL. l.. Cake.
Pennsylvania is represented in the present
Congress by sixteen Republican members
and eight Copperheads. In the new, or
fortleth, Congress the State stands eighteen
Republicans and six Copperheads. General
Geary is elected Governor oyer Clymer by
about 10000 majority.
Ohio rolled up majority against "My
policy of 10000
Indiana gives $4,000 against "My policy"
and eight Republican members of Congress,
with a majority in both branches of the
Legislature
Iowa returns an entire Republican dele
CATION to Congress of six members, and
gives Republican majority in the State Of
10000.
Batimore.-A municipal election was held
in the city Of Baltimore, on Wednesday last
for Mayor and City Council, resulting in u
total rout of the Rebel Swami johnson party
Chapman was elected Mayor by 2,574 major,
ity, and all of the Unconditional Union
Councilmen, of both branches, are elected
The election was held under the regstra-
ton Of 1866, the registry of the present year
not being completed.
While the Copperheads search round the
country for returns of corporation elections
from which to gain a crumb of comfort, the
Union party wheel whole states into line
against Andy Johnson and his Rebel policy,
and pile up majorties by the twenties and
fifty thousands in condemnation of his policy
and in support Of Congress.

VIM. Allen, one of the parties against whom

etl held in confinement, was then called as q
witness by the defence, and testified: Was at
Woodfeld's on Christmas morning, about nine
o'clock. Witness theC enumerated the various
nlaces at which he and his company called for
the purpose of drinking egg-nog also the route

Was on King street, with a party, between
Alfred and Patrick, when l heard the cry of
fpbt at Bradley's corner-I went back to quell
the disturbance if possible--saw Simpson, 4and
Fields standing on The. corner, and told Simp-
son 10 come away with .me-we went up the
street together-we were not engaged in any
disturbance-used no threatening language
Travis and Horsman we're not there-saw a
wagon containing two negroes coming down the
| street-one of the negroes had a pistol and was
firing first to one side and then to the other
side Of the street-never saw Travis or Hors-
man with pistol-there was no cheering or
singing in our party-did not see any disturb
ance at the corner Of King and West streets
Gilbert Simpson was dressed in black-saw

which was after the difficulty there-there was
a difficulty between the party of white men

knocked down and rolled in the mud.
Without going into a cross-examination, the
Commission, at a quarter to one, adjourned till
Tuesday morning at III o'clock.
Shortly after the Commission was convened,
Mr.. Edgar Fields, one of the witnesses for the
defence, who testified yesterday, was by order
Of Colonel La Mott, placed under arrest and
sent to the %guard-house. This action was ami
madverted upon in a very earnest manner by
Gen. Wells, who stated that such proceedings
would defeat the aims of justice, aud that it
was not in the power OF any one-not even the
the President of the United States-to arrest a
witness whilst in attendance On a trial, until he
has been discharged and has returned to his
home that a witness occupies the same posi-.
ton as a Foreign Minister, Senator, or member
Of the House of Representatives, and was pro
tected by the law from arrest that this course
of proceedings was calculated to intimidate
witnesses and prevent their attendance, and to
deprive the accused Of what they most earnest
" deslre-a fair and impartial trial. This doc
triue, said Gen. w. is as old as the English
law and should never be departed from. Gen,
". spoke very warmly on the subject.
