changes, we suppose elections have been
held in some of the States, and that the
result is not overly pleasant for us Re
publicans to contemplate. We prefer
that the Growing of the fouls should
come now than one year latter, when 1T
is generally GRANT ed their threats will
be entirely too sore for that anus ement.
The result:
MASSACHUSETTS.
Returns from 216 towns, nearly the
whole State, give Bullock 95.5S9;
Adams, CD, S62. The Republicans have
large majority in the Legislature, OPP
posed to the Prohibitory Liquor Law of
the State, and the consequence will be
that that law will be repealed
NEW JERSEY.
The Democratic majority in New Jer
sew. seems to be about 10000.
The Democrats will have majority OF
at least eight in the House of Assembly
but the Republicans will retain a work
ing majority in the Senate.
WIscoNsIN.-A dispatch just received
from Madison, Wisconsin, says the Re-
publican majority in that State is from
5000 to 5000. The Legislature is clos
er than was at first expected. The Sen
ate will probably stand Is to IA. The
majority in the House will be also small,
n -
MINNESOTA. A dispatch from ST.
Paul puts the Republican majority at
5000, and possibly more.
KANsAs.-Full returns are in from bu,
few counties, but all received show
heavy Democratic gains, though the
State will probably give small Repub
lcan majority.
Atchison county, the home of Sena-
tor Pomeroy, which has heretofore been
Republican, gives decided Democratic
majority.
Doniphan county elects three Repub
lican and two Democratic Representa-
tives.
Lcayenworth city and county give 800
Democratic majority. Of nine Repre-
sentatives this county will probably have
seven Democrats and two Republicans.
No estimate can yet be made of the
party division of the Legislature.
The Evening Bulletin, Radical, says
the returns indicate a Republican victo
ry in the State by reduced majorities,
and a defeat of the Congressional
Amendment by considerably larger
vote than anticipated.
| The Democracy are exceedingly jubi-
liant over their recent successes in New
York, Pennsylvania and other States,
and are beginning to talk with much
confidence about winning in the Presi-
Dental race of next year. In this mat
ter, we suspect they have "enumerated
their brood before they were incubated. .
They must do much better than any
thing done this year, to give them a
solid foundation for their hopes to rest
upon. The only States which they can
now claim, as the late elections indicate,
are, California, Connecticut, Delaware,
Kentucky, Maryland, New Jersey, New
York and Pennsylvania, which cast in
the aggregate, 9S electoral votes. All
the other States, which have thus far
been reliably Republican, cast 14S votes.
This would leave a ajority of 80 on
the right side. No candid man could
for moment believe that either of these
latter States would gave a majority to
Mr. Pendleton or some other anti-war
sympathizer with traitors, against Gen.
Grant or any other true patriot. Before
the next Presidential election, it is high
ly probable that some of the rebel States
will be reconstructed, which will add
material strength to the Republican side.
We may have a Lard political fight be-
fore us, but there can be no doubt about
the result.
The report of the Department of Ag-
riculturc for October says the wheai
crop Of the country will exceed any har-
vest hitherto reported, the amount is
placed at 220, 100000 to 225, 100000
bushels. Illinois gives an increase of
