CAIcAGo, November 5.-The Republicans
are celebrating their victory tonight with
the largest torchlight procession and illum-
ination ever witnessed in the West. Wa
bash avenue is splendidly illuminated
throughout its entire length, and as the pro-
cession, which is near three miles long,
moved up that thoroughfare with innumera-
BILE transparencies, calcium lights, blazing
torches and colored fire under a perfect
archway Of rockets, Roman candles, and
other fireworks, the sight was the grandest
and most beautiful that could easily be i'm
agined.
SACRAMENTO, November In Oregon
thu result of the Presidential election is
still in doubt, and an official count of the
vote may be required to determine it.
Grant, at last accounts, was 534 ahead,
with three counties to hear from that last
year gave 492 Democratic majority.
A private dispatch, lied New York, Oc-
tober 9th, 1l:30 P. n, says the excitement
on Wall street Yesterday bordered on the
panic of 1857 and threatened to equal it in
scope of disaster, creating approximations
among brokers and bankers, and causing
great depreciation Of every description of
railroad stocks and shares. The latter sold
by the thousands, and Government bonds by
millions.

At the evening session the Chatham Railroad
bill came up for its third reading. The Senate.
however, was in no humor to pass IL and it was
postponed and made the special order for Thurs
day next, by vote of 10 10 4. The explanation
of this unexpected result is that the parties who
have been engineering the bill through failed to
come down with the promised cash, which was to
complete the balance of the loan to the State, and
thereby fill the pockets of the impecunious and
hungry Legislators.
/ In the House, joint resolution was adopted

of the proceedings, it may we'll be; considered as
boisterous and disreputnble concern The carpet-

courtesy, and rough 1angnge was exchanged be-

Governor SCOTT addressed the Convention, in
which he said that he congratulated the members
on their possession of the privilege of selecting
electors, and had no doubt that they would choose
men who would give their votes for the man who
would give peace to the country, the man who
stood at the head of the armies during the war,
and whose services the nation would acknowledge
by placing him in the highest position in the gift
of the people,. Hebelievod that the election of his
opponent would bring war and disaster upon the
country. He hoped that the Convention would
discountenance everything like discord or viola
ion. Of law, and such organizations as are read o.
in the papers, and known as military Organiza
