BUENOs AYREs April IA, 1863
We have notices now Of the result Of the election
In every part of this CITY, There was no opposition.
The "Club Libertad" carried the day, eecting its
electors In this city of perhaps 900 people there
we're only 11S6 votes cast according to the reports,
that being the highest number Of votes for any
elector. The electors chosen were for Sarmiento
and Alsna. We have no news from other parts az
to the elections.

Santa Fe favors him greatly, and In the northern
provinces the Generals 'pacifying' them work for
him in every way, even to deposfng Governors, as

COrdova there has been military pronunciamento
turning out the Governor. This was brought about
by its war contingent Of $50 men, who when about
