ELECmoNs-S elections took place yes
terday in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Iowa
and Nebraska. In Pennsylvania Gov. Geary
was reelected by the Republicans over Asa
Packer, Democrat, by from 5000 to 5000 ma
jority. Philadelphia went Republican by over
1000 majority. Last year it went Democratic
for mayor by 1900 majority.
From Ohio the returns are meagre. Both
parties claim the result, the Republicans by
about 10000, the Democrats naming no ma
jority. The probabilities are that the Repub-
licans have re elected Gov. Hayes, while the
Democrats have a majority in the House Of
Representatives, and the Republicans in the
Senate. The other States not h ard from.

The ALLEDGED ASSAULT NEAR MIDDLE
TOWN. Last week we gave an account from the
Middletown Transcript of felonious assault hv
negro man named lloyd upon two ladies'
named Beaston, whilst travelling along on the
public road At the trial before a Justice.
Lloyd made statement in which he said that
he had lost his pocket book containing over
hundred dollars, and went back to look for it.
He says "On my way back l met two ladies'
in carriage. | did not find the money and con.
cuded that the ladies might have foundit, as no
other persons had passed along the road after
| the money had been lost, consequently hurried
on to Overtake the ladies, which did between
Mr. Carnagy's house and Mr.. Price store. |
drove past them and hailed them to know If
they had found pocket book, they made no
reply, but drove faster. | then drove on before
them to Mr.. Price $ store, got out of my wagon
went back to them aud asked if they had found
a pocket book. At this time the ladies had
stopped in the road, having Overtaken two gen
tleman in a carriage, one OF whom was out
talking to the ladies. They paid no attention
to my question, but wanted me arrested.

harm, had lost my pocket book and wanted tC

drove up to Mr.. James Ncholson's house auC
got out of their carriage. [ went over again
and tried to explain that had lost my pOcke
book aud did not mean any harm, but all il
vain, the ladies refusing to say whether the
had found one or not. " The truth OF the mat
ter seems to be that the negro, excited over hi
loss, acted rather strangely; so much so tina
the ladies, being alone, became frightened a
his conduct. The pocket book and content
