| New YORK, Oct. 15.-As the sober fis
ures of the election appear, marked re-
duction in the Radical vote is shown by
| the returns from the States which voted
on the 18th.
The Philadelphia Age, after careful cal
culation, puts the Radical majority in Penn
sylvania at $500. The conclusion seems
to be that the Democrats lost the State by
the rejection of thousands of naturalized
voters.
The probability is now that Indiana has
gone Democratic. VOORHEES, is certainly
elected. The Tribune admits the loss OF
seven Congressman in the State. &c
