Tie smoke has not yet cleared away from
the battlefelda Of Tuesday so that tie differ
erent results can be accurately learned. 1t
Is probable that the Republican. have car
riel al the States, but with maiorites as vet
undetermined. In Pennsylvania the Republic
can ticket appears TO have about the same
ma iority as at the State election last year,
when the Republican candidate for Auditor
General bad nearly 10000 majority. Gov.
Geary, however, ran considerably behind bis
tiakc,, a circumstance which is owing to
personal reasons. The Legislature stands
about the same as last year: the Senate ex-
ac,iy the same, fifteen Democrats to eighteen
Republicans, the House thirty-seyen Demo
Gratis to sixty-three Republicans, a Democra-
tie gain of one The Republicans Will there
fore have a majority of twenty-nme on joint
ballt It's proper to say that while the
Democrats agree to this classification Of the
Legislature, they place the majority for
Geary and the State ticket much lower than
the figures given above. Some of their
organs even clam the election Of Packer by
a small majority, but the Harrisburgh Pa
friof. the leading Democratic paper Of the
State, admits that he i defeated. Hon.
John Covode, Chairman of the Republican
State Central Committee. says that Geary's
majority viii not be far from GOO. and that
the rest Of the ticket will run several thous-
and ahead Of these figures.
From Ohio the returns are meagre and the
estimates contradictory. \ light vote was
polled, and it appears that Hayes. Republi-
can, Is elected Governor by reduced major
Ity. 4 year ago the Republican State ticket
had about Il 900 majority. Some of the
Democratic papers claim the election of Pen
dleton. but in general the leading men of
both parties put Hayes majority at about
5000. No positive information as to the
complexion of the Legislature has been re
eeiyed, though it Is rumored that the House
will be Democratic and the Senate Republ-
can. The Democrats had majority of ten
on joint ballot in the last legislature
Iowa, ar usual, goes overwhelmingly Re
publican. The returns come in very slowly.
and the vote was very Light. The Republi-
cans have majority Of between 5000 and

merits Of due dignity, breyity, and direct and
f1rcble presentation If important information
and valuable suggestions. Its exhibit Of the
STATE finances will command the attention of the

the school laws and in the law regulating the
rate Of interest, bring up important subjects for
discussion and action; its suggestions Of the pro-
priety of legislation for the development Of the
material resources Of the Stste, and Of the impor-
lance Of regard to economy in expenditures; and
lis presentation Of the crying evil Of frequent
changes Of the Statutes, deserve the careful heed

appointments, at Montpelier.

From numerous competitors for the position
Governor Wsshburn selected John Worthingto1
Marsh, ESQ, Of Springfield, as his Secretary Of
Civil and Military Affairs. Mr.. Marsh is a son
OF Charles P. Marsh, Esq Of Woodstock, for
twenty four years past the law partner Of Gov
ernor Washburn-the oldest law partnership, by
the way, in the State. He is young man Of
literal education, of courteous address, and
genial personal qualities, and will doubtless
prove a valuable and popular Secretary.
The Clerk Of the House, Mr.. Camp, has made
the following appointments Henry y. Newell,
Of Shelburn. First Assistant Clerk; Edwin 7.
" hite, Of " Woodstock, second do. and Calvin J.
B Harris, Of Danville, third. Mr. Newell has
shown his capacity, and gained valuable expert
euce heretofore in the position OF Grand List
Clerk, and will make Il capable and acceptable
assistant; sud all are understood to possess ex-
csllent qualifications for their posts
Speaker Grandey has appointed as reporters
IN the House, Col A. c. Brown, the competent
and experienced reporter Of several previous
sessions, and Charles Dodge Of Montpelier, who
is as yet new in the duties, but will doubtless
give ertire satisfaction in the position.

We print elsewhere q call, uumerously signed
by the leading dairymen Of the State, for a con-
vention to be held at Montpelier on the 9th
lust, TO organize dairymen's association To
those Of our readers c5nyersant with the work
inys of like Institutions in New York, Ohio, " =
cousin and elsewhere, We need not offer a word
Of entrea,y to persuade them to attend in a mass;
but to the many who have heretofore p'oiiel On
we desire TO say a word
Vermont has an established reputation as a
dairy State, and to him who reads The signs of
the times, It Is evident, past a doubt, that this
must ever be her leading interest. On the other
hand, It il equally evident that she is not main
tanning her relative position among the dairy
State. Of the Union. We would not iusiuuate
that we are not making as 2 Cd butter as ever
before, and perhaps s. much Of it from a COW,
but we are not making that progress that is being
made elsewere, and il beho0ves US to see 70 it
that our laures are not lost by our indifference
There cannot be any good reasou Why
Vermont butter and cheese should not bring
the highest prices in all the markets Of
the world, and perhaps it il too generally
believed that it does, but there Is iulutit-
able evidence that such is not the case. There
cannot be any good reason why one man should
be able to sell his cheese for so cents s pound,
while his neighbors are getting only IL cents,
yet such is the case. There cannot be any good
reason why one mans cons should make an
average of only 800 pounds Of cheese TO the COW,
while auother's make 400, yet such i the c,se.
Again, there cannot he any good reason Why il
should take three sores of good land 10 carry one
mans COWS, while another's are carried even
better on one acre and a half There cannot be
any good reason for keeping cows thst require
two tons and a half ofhsy from fall 10 spring,
while equally productive cows, more judiciou,ly
selected and tired, may be vinterel on ton and
three quarters, and even less, Of the same hay,
without grain.
Il is the legitimate province Of the Dairy
mems Association to investigate al these and F.
several other relative subjects, and 10 spread the
results Of such investigations before the people |
for their information. We are aware that there |
are some few men so exceedingly conceitei, 81
L believe that their wives can make as good |
butter aud cheese SIS it is possible to make, and
that the end Of improvement in this direction
has been reached; but the most Of men still be
lieve that they may yet learn something, and to
such the present ii is believed IS golden op-
portunity.
We cannot but hope that the attendance Of
dsirymen at Montpelier next wednesday viii be
such in point of numbers, as to impress the en-
tire community with the fact, that they are
wholly in earnest to seek and adopt every i'm
proyemsnt that promises 10 advance their per
sonal interests and those Of the State at large.

10000. The Legislature will be almost

10000. The Legislature will be almost
unanimously Republican.
From all the returns it would seem thai
the Republicans have sustained no material
losses. Some Of their victories are achieved
in the face of serious obstacles. In Pennsyl-
vania the party carried the burden Of Geary
personal unpopularity, and had to fight Pack
er's enormous purse. In Ohio the Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor, Mr.. Pendleton'
is one Of the most popular men in bis party
and has many warm personal friends outside
Of biz party. In general, too, the Republicans
had to bear whatever mistakes the new ad-
ministration has committed. These were
magnifed and held up to public view by
Democratic orators, and were not without
their influence upon the election. Besides,
this year is what is called the " off year "
in politics, and seasons of political apathy
are somehow. generally favorable to the
Democrats. On the whole the administra-
ton and the Republican party have every
reason T., be satisfied with the result Of the
October elections.
