THE LATEST ELECTION RETURNS.
Ohio Result in Fifty Counties The
LegisIature DemOcratic,

CINCINNATI Oct. 10.-This mornings CONNER
cidL says of the election in Ohio:- Something
over fifty counties in Ohio have been heard
from, and they leave Thurman (Dem.) with a
majority of about 5000. The remaining twenty
five or thirty counties, embracing several in the
these figures; whether they will overbalance
them, or place the majority on the other side,
is question which seems likely TO be decided
only by the official return.
The Legislature appears to be hopelessly gone.
The Democrats gain Senators in the Second,
Third, Sixth, Twelfth, Sixteenth, Twentieth, and
probably the Thirteenth Districts, giving them
a clear majority of one or two; and in the House
they have secured gain of eighteen members
making a majority, with a prospect OF some
others yet in doubt which would give them a
working balance of from five to ten on Joint
ballot.
The Gazette says that the returns are still in
complete; and the election is very close but the
probabilities are that the Democrats have car
ried both Houses of the General Assembly. The
Governor is in doubt, but with a probability
that Thurman is elected
The Enquirer says: 1--WE estimate Judge
Thurmans majority at 2169. The Legislature
will stand in the Senate II Radicals to 10 Demo
Gratis, and in the House 80 Radicals to Sc Demo-

MASSACHUSETTS POLITICS.
John Quincy Adams Accepts the Demo-
cratic Nomination for Governor -
Synopsis of HIS Letter OF Acceptance.


BOSTON, Oct. 9-John Quincy Adams, the
nominee Of the Democratic Convention for
Governor, has accepted the nomination, In
his letter of acceptance, which will be pu blished
tomorrow, he says that after having been re-
luctantly compelled to differ with his friends
of the Republican party last TALL upon grave
political questions, he had hoped TO avoid any
public action for at least two years, hoping in
That period to correct or confirm his opinions
upon national policy.
Mr.. Adams frankly states his political OPT
Mons. he recent course of the Republican
party has abated his confidence in it, They
seem lately, at Worcester, TO have allowed their
hatred of man TO supply the lack Of any de,
claration OF principles on national ahairs, and
their dread OF intestine strife to gag their speech
on state que .tions. Mr.. Adams adopts the
principles promulgated at the Democratic Con-
vention, and approves of the doctrine of State
Rights as officially announced.
1t is difficult, he says, to reconcile the incom-
potency shown upon questions of finance and
of an exploded and unsclentific plan of inter-
nal taxation, combined with q tariff which is
nothing but legalized robbery, must have been
saddled upon the people by gross Ignorance or
fraud, and If not speedily removed 1t
will furnish the exhausted taxpayer
with semblance of reason for
reputation. Mr. Adams regards the action
of the Democratic Convention as standing
in honorable contrast to the timorous and
time-serving tone of the Republican Conven-
ton, and believes that the wise and conserva-
tive men OF the Republican party regard the
sumptuary laws as prepOsterous invasions by
statute of the lawful domain of morals. In con-
OF his opinions he should feel that he arrogated
an absurd Importance to his personal pre-
ferences If he declined to stand as the candi-
date OF the party.

THE TRIAL OF JEFF. DAVIS.

The Court to Assemble November 25-
Chief-Justice Chase to Preside-The
Line of Defense PrOpOSed-The COun.
sci.
RICHMOND, Oct. 9.--The despatch sent by the
agent of the Associated Press, purporting to
give the programme of the Davis trial, is
wholly incorrectI have just had a conversa-
tion with high judicial officer" who ought to
be well posted theTeanent. The substance of
our interview was as tollows:-The term of the
Circuit Court will commence on the fourth
Monday of November, and the trial of Mr..
Davis will be the first on the docket.
Chief Justice Chase will most certainly pre-
side, and contemplates getting through with it
in time for the opening of the Supreme Court
in Washington, on the irst Monday in December.
The time of counsel will be limited, and the
trial will be shortened as much as possible, for
the Chief Justice has said that he does not in
tend to make it an everlasting affair.
The witnesses named in the despatch may
possibly be- present. as they were the gem
tlemen upon whose enforced testimony the in
dictment was framed at Norfolk more than a
year ago. They are Hon. John Goode, Jr.,
late of the Confederate Congress and at present
a member of the Virginia Legislature; Captain
J. Hardy Hendren, OF the Confederate States
Army; Major James F. Milligan, of the Confede-
rate States Signal Corps, and at present one of
the editors OF the Norfolk Virglnidn; Colonel
Scarborough, lawyer Of distinction, late of the
Confederate army. All these gentlemen are resi-
dents of Norfolk; but there will be many other
witnesses, mostly OF the stamp of General Wise,
General Malone, and other Confederate dig
ntaries
Mr.. Chandler has consulted with the counsel
of the prisoner, and informed him of the grounds
of the prosecution, and it is known that the
defence will be based, first, upon the doctrine
of State Rights; second, the right of secession;
and third, that the Confederacy being de fdoto
Government, and recognized as 6elligerent
power 1t had the right under the laws of nations
to wage war. The witnesses for the defense, 1t
is thought, will be very numerous.
The District Attorney has employed as coun-
sci to assist him, in addition to Mr.. Evarts, of
New Y York, General II. II. Wells, of Alexandria,
Va, formerly Provost Marshal General in the
| army, from Detroit, Mich, and at present an
aspiring conservative Republican politician of
this State, and a nominee for the Convention.
Judge Underwood to-day, before adjourning
his Court, ordered the Marshal to summer a
ventre of seyenty.two petit jurors and twenty.
four grand tutors, the former for the great State
trial as 1t is anticipated that there will be many
challenges to the array. The Jurors will be
chose from white and black Union men. The
responsibility for conducting the trial rests
altogether upon the District Attorney, as there
will be no Executive interference.
The public may rely upon the above as a cor.
rect programme of the great trial.

Such is the spirit in which Humanity aud

gold from the dross. When the Republican
party has no further prejudices to vanquish no
further wrongs to redress, we hope it may die
and be buried; not linger on, maintaining a
mockeTy of existence on the good ideas of the

HARTFORD, Oct. 10.-The State Prison at
Wethersford, Conn.,, was entered by burglars
last night and two hundred dollars worth OF
silyerWare stolen from the showcase in the
Furnishing shop, where the articles were ex-

access TO the prison yard by breaking through
a small gate in the rear, and taking a wheel

EFFECT OF THE ELECTIONS IN WASHINGTON.
Opinions OF Prominent RadicaIs-HOw
the President Takes It-Intended Sere-
made by the Conservative Heroes.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9-ll'30 p. M-One re-
markable feature in the manner the Republi-
cans here receive the election news from Ohio
is the coincidence of their views as to the cause
of their defeat All the blame is laid upon the
amendment to the State Constitution. One
prominent radical was heard to eXclaim, "That
unfortunate amendment! in its fall 1t has torn
down with it the Republican party.n Another
said that negro suffrage was rapidly drifting
towards breakers, and the Republican party
wreck.
Most of the radicals, however, accept the re.
verse with great good humor, although evil
IDENTIFY greatly astOunded by the magnitude of
unexpected to even those politicians who are
best informed. The attempt of those who fur
nished large proportion of the dispatches an
nouncing the progress of the elections in Penn
sylvania and Ohio, to identify the present Demo
cratic party with the old disunion Copperhead
party by alluding to the Republican party as
the Union party, met with severe condemnation
among many of the conservative Republicans
here. They were indignant at the Injustice of
the terms. The results of the elections Just over
are not regarded by them as triumphs for the
Democratic party, nor as indicating that the
people mean TO support the line of policy
adopted by the President, but as manifesting
the disapprobation of the country at the course
lately pursued by Congress in the matter of re-
construction.
Another marked feature of the results of the
election, is the evident desire of the Democrats
TO avoid the President and to monopolize all
the honor and credit OF the victories to them
selves. Preparations have, however, been m ade
for a serenade to the President tomorrow,
under the auspices of the Conservative Army
and Navy Union presided over by Col. O'Berhe.
The President takes the news to-day very
calmly. There has not been an unusual number
of visitors at the White House during the day.
