ILLINOIS. Democrats have won
sn unexpected victory in the late election
for delegates to Constitutional Conyen-
ton to revise and amend the Constitu-
ton of that State. The Chicago Times
co unts forty three Democrats and forty
two Republicans. giving the latter two
Republicans who were elected by Demo
cratic votes against the regular Republi-
can nominees. The extent Of this trl-
umph can be judged of from the fact that
Grant had 81 900 majority in that State,
and Logan, for Congress, $4,000. he be
ing chosen from the State at large. In
the Legislature the Republicans had sew
enty-two members to the Democrats
thirty eight. We would hardly have
supposed that the Democrats would have
carried more than one-third ofthat body.

numerically stronger, but have heavier

residence at Baltimore, and Maj. G. A.
MEYER. Mr., d. is, we understand. repre-
scnting party of capitalists, that have
in connection with himself, purchased a
large tract of valuable land at Spadra,
johnson county in this State; compris-
ing almost the entire site Of the whole
town. 1t was bought for $4,000, we
believe, and will, we predict, in less than
two years, bcworth over hundred thou
sand dollars. 1t is underlaid with large
and extensive coal beds, and there really
is no computing its value hereafter. We
are glad to see capital coming to our
State and we trust the honorable gentle
men will gire our portion Of the State so
fayorablea a representation ontheir return,
that others will 90 and do likewise. v
