The Election in MARYLAND,

At the hour Of gong to press we have nni
received the official vote of the State. The
majority for Bowie, Governor as far as heard
from is s5,46s. The copperhead ticket is
elected in every county of the State, both
branches of the Legislature being rebel from
A to z. The american Of Thursday says Of
the result:
We have not received returns from several
of the counties, but we may safely say that
the Republicans have been defeated in every
county OF the State, much to the surprise Of
been successful in Western Maryland
Every mani, therefore, elected for State,
Judicial, Legislative and County officers is
q representative of Democracy"

The Elections.

On Tuesday elections we're held in Mary.
land, New York, New Jersey, Kansas,
Michigan, Illinois, Nevada, Missouri, Mis-.
sissippi, Wisconsin and Massachusetts. We
give the vote as far as heard from in another
column. The grayback party carry this
State by large majority, as was anticipated.
New York aud New Jersey were also carried
by the copperheads, the former by means
the fraudulent foreign vote polled in New
York City, Of the result, the Philadelphia
Press, the morning after the election says:
New York, which chose State offcera and
Legislature, is conceded to have goue Dem
ocratic. The majority, however, for the
whole State will not equal the number of
alleged false registries entered in New York
city alone by the disloyal managers.
To balance this State, we have carried
Massachu sets by some twenty Eve thousand.
The main issue in this State was on the
liquor questioI-license or prohibition
Politics have been hardly perceptible in the
Massachusetts press for some weeks. The
entire attention of everybody has been turn.
ed to the sumptuary regulations of the Com.
| monwealth. AS the Legislature is elected
yearly, the result, however it may eventuate,
has no national significance.
Michigan, Illinois, Nevada, and Missouri,
elected county officers. So far as heard
from they 70 Republican.
New Jersey-whose elections were for
local officers, one third of the Senate, and
q House Of Assembly-as was expected,
shows Democratic successes. The loss OF
the Legislature, however, in this State, does
not involve the loss of Senator. The en-.
tire Assembly must be re. elected next year
rs well as portion of the Senate.
Kansas seems to have voted down both
the suffrage amendments. 1t is worthy OF
notice that the idea of extending the RICH,
OF suffrage to women was received with more
| favor by the Kansas statesmen than the pro
position to enfranchise the colored race.
from the Evening Bulletin.
After the October elections, there were
few Republicans of sufficiently sanguine
temperament to suppose that there party
would be successful IN November in the
States of New York and New Jersey
Therefore there can be few persons surpris.
The magnitude OF the majority in New York
city, for the so-called Democratic ticket, is
! the only thing surprising. 1t swallows up
all the Republican majority in the rest OF
the State, and elects the general ticket by a
vote that nnst astonish even the Democracy.
Of course the offensive excise laws of the
last Legislature, which have Diverted many
German and other Republicans from the
ranks, are largely answerable for this result.
In addition to this, there has been an awful
amount of false registration and illegal vot.
ing; and further in addition, New York has
become city Of refuge to many thousands
OF Southern rebels, who naturally vote for
the ticket of the party that supported jeff.

From what we have been able to learn,
there appears to have been row among
the negroes, at Port Deposit, the previous
evening. An alteration took place between
Smith and another man, who struck Smith
and knocked him down. Smith fell against
Taylor, knocking him down also. While
lying there they we're both shot, Taylor in
the side, Smith in the leg. Smith, on rising,
saw q man whom he supposed to be the per.
petrator fnmbling about his pocket as though
he were putting away pistol, and he Smith
then drew pistol and blazed away at his
enemy; but instead of hitting the party he
shot at, the ball took effect in the leg of his
friend Taylor, the old man thus receiving
two wounds, which may prove fatal The
third party made his escape and has not yet
been arrested.

The Coprerhead managers had posted in

the morning of the election the following
trueism extracted from the Wig OF the

"Tho factispatcnt TO every rejecting mind

We hope If there is any of that scum Of
the old world in this county which chokcs
up the lanes and allies of our large cities
aud which is standing blot upon humanity,
that it may have proftcd by little truth

hope, that the foreign population of Cecil

few or none Of them are representatives of

seemed to think otherwise, however, aud
hence sought TO excite the prejudice of the
foreign born voters by posting in couspicu.

have not heard of any one who claimed to

can ticket was hardly deemed probable, it
was confidently expected that portion Of
that ticket, at least, would be successful
The result shows that very large number,
of otherwise Republicans, are frightened by
the ghost of "ncgre equality and negro
suffrage" on which the rebel party rang the
change so successfully. The result of last
Tuesday teaches US that the Republican
party must work, and work earnestly, untir-
ingly in the cause of human rights, remem-
bering that Jehovah is on the side of Justice,
and in his own good time will give US the
victory, as he broke the chains of slavery at
blow. Man is selfish being and is ever
averse to sharing the sceptre Of power with
his fellows. The opposition to majority
rule caused the slavery rebellion; and the
history of the world is constant struggle
on the part Of few to retain the power to
control the many. The votes of the ''poor
whites were rs obnoxious to the aristo.
cratic ruling class of the South as the votes
Of the colored men would have been !;
and if the rich alone had the privilege Of
voting and controlling the government of
the States, the poor and laboring class to-
day might plead in vain for their rights to
enjoy the elective franchise. When we look
into the selfish and decctful heart of man,
we cease to be surprised that such opposi,
ton is manifested to allowing every freeman
that right which was ordained to him by the
Creator, voice in making the laws which
control his very life. The opposition does
not arise from the color Of the skin for we
find that in all ages and nations that same

right to participate in the control Of govern.
