Us A dispatch from Atlanta, Georgia,
says. the Republicans have made a. clean
sweep, electing their Governor and ma.
jority in the State Senate and Lower House
of the Legislature, and four out of seven
congressman. Over 1900 white men
voted the Republican ticket, and some
$4,000 black men have been forced and
swindled into voting the disunion ticket
W The Lancaster, Pa) election took
place on the list. The Democratic MAORI
ty for City Auditor was 3s4-a loss since
last year of 1877 votes. The Republicans
gain eight membersof the Council, which
makes a tie vote on the joint ballot. One
branch of the Council is Republican by
three majority, the first. time in many
years. ness ssserss, gss,e.s- sassy g9sassz
a The majority for the Constitution
in North Carolina is in the neighborhood
of 10000. The Raleigh STANDARD, of the
25th ult states that the Republicans cannot
have less than 80 Of the so Senators
and 6Sgof the 122 Representatives, giving
them IA majority in each house, or % on
john ballot, and thereby securing two Re-
publican United States Senators. s-ss-s
Is Speaking of the result in South
Carolina, the Chicago Tribune says:
That 1000 majority is mighty PERSIA
siye argument. The ex-rebels will quietly
submit to the new Constitution. South
Carolina is at last reconstructed, and ON
principles quite different from those taught
by John c.. Calhoun. Henceforth that

ed to Mr.. Nelson making any remarks ex-
cept in explanation; but the Senate allow

by Chauncy Black, dated March is, inclos-
ing copy with additional signatures.

| ing any intentional disrepect for the Sen

the attention of the Court during the re-
mainder of the days session. ~ 80 v7ry-.
Mr.. Stanbery concluded his argument al

The Abyssfnian Expedition.

The following is the dispatch received
in London on the Goth, from Magdala,
April Ii, announcing the successful termi-
nation of the expedition against King
Theodorus: . t .f4
1.-THE temporary truce ended this morn
ing. The King refused to surrender the
prisoners. General Napier with the First
and Second Brigades, moved up the hill
in front. Scalesse surrendered without re-
sistance. The King retreated into Mag
dala, and planted five guns at the base OF
the wall. When Napier came in sight the
King opened on him with these guns.
The English replied from underground
Armstrong gun and seven-pounder, and
with rockets. The King abandoned his
guns and barricaded the sally-ports of the
town wall, keeping up fire of musketry.
A bombardment by the British for three
hours followed, when General Napier Or
dered the men to advance, and the town
was carried by assault after, vigorous re-
sistance on the part of the enemy. !.
"The Kings loss was sixty eight killed
and two hundred wounded. The British
| loss was fifteen wounded, rank and file.
The King was found dead shot through
the head. Some say he was killed in bat
tie, while others assert that he committed
suicide His two sons were taken pris-
oners. All the European prisoners were
liberated. 4
1.-THE interior of the Kings stronghold
presented an extraordinary scene of bar
barrie splendor. The troops plundered the
place. They found there fourroyal crowns
of gold, $4,000 in silver, valuable plate,
rich Jewels &c. Among the trophies cap
tured are twenty-eight cannon, five thou
sand stand of arms, then thousand shields,
ten thousand spears, and a large quantity
of other material of war. @
"The British Captains leave for home
tomorrow. The army will return at once
to the seaboard.'
