The Elections.


 Later reports reduce the Republican majorities in Pennsylvania and Ohio, but do not change results. The Legislature in the latter State is very close, the Republ- cans having but one majority in the Sen ate and three in the House; ensuri ng as 1t does the assent of Ohio to the Fifteenth Amendment the result is very gratifying.
 The comments of the political press on Pendleton's defeat are amusing in the ex- treme. The World scarcely conceals it's delight at the removal of most formidable obstacle to the adoption of new men and new principles by the Democracy in 1872. The Tribune, for the same reason. regards the premature shelving of the anti-bond opponent of Grant in 1872, as Republi- can misfortune disguised as Republican success. But while the Republican press fully recognize that their party advantage lay in Pendleton's election, they console themselves with the belief that the extinc- tion of Pendleton is the extinc- ton of Copperheadism; that the next Pres idential campaign will not be fought, like the last, on issues threatening the country with repudiation and renewed rebellion.
 The action of the Virginia legislature and of that of Tennessee. even, indicates far more temperate course than was feared on the part of Southern Conservatism. Taking into consideration, also, the pros porous condition of the national finances, the outlook of 1869 is hopeful in the ex- treme. The opening of Grants Admins tration certainly proves the sincerity of his memorable declaration in 1868: "LEr US HAVE PEACE r

Tom PAINE MISE.-This NINE which
was recently purchased by Chicogo cap
italists for $50 900, is on the east side
of Treasure Hui, about mid way between
the crest of the hill and PocoriIlo City.
We visited it yesterday, and were sur.
prised to find a we'll defined vein of very
high grade ore, IL feet in width. This
ore contains large percentage of horn
silver, and resembles the ore of he Earl
mine. In fact, its course is nearly east
and west, and is directly opposite and
on about the same level as the Earl and
it is not improba BILE that both are on
the same vein. Tue vein has not been
penetrated TO a depth OF more than
about ! 8 feet. Ii has, so far, as smooth
and perfect banging wall on The south
side as is presented by any mine in the
District. The workmen are now run
ming across the VEN, and, il is believed
have just reached the north wall, at
distance of IL feet from the south wall
Several tuns of ore were milled week
or two ago which yielded over $50 per
tun. That now obtained is of much
higher grade. and the greater portion of
the vein consists of milling ore of ex-
ceilent quality. Six men are now en-
ployed, and the work is to be prosecu.
ted vigorously in future. The mine is
being worked under the management of
George II. Willard. Who is also Superin-
tendent of the Virginia mine White
Pine Ners.
