ELECTION RETURNS.

The returns from Missouri are very
meagrc. What We have received, however
strongly indicate the election Of Brown.
About the Congressman we can state nothing
satisfactory from present dispatches. W,
trust everything is right.
In Illinois the returns arc entirely favora-
bic. The Republicans have carried the
State by $1,000 majority, and it looks As
though we had also held our own in the cleo
ton of Congressman. Farwell beats Long
John Wentworth i'm the First Distric,
Chicago. We scarcely know the signifi-
canoe of this achievement. They are boil,
supposed to be Republicans.
Michigan has done her duty as usual.
Twenty-Five thousand majority for the Re
publican ticket; In the Sixth District Suth-
erland Dem beats briggs for Congress.
This is bad news. Sutherland is a good
man, but he is Democrat, and that District
is Republican.
The news from Wisconsin is not so graft
flying. However what We have is very mea-
gre and imperfect. IN.
Minnesota has evidently done her whole
duty. Mr.. Ignatius Donnelly DEM is de-
ieated for Congress, and all Republicans re-
ported elected by large majorities.
New York has again gone with the bruisers
and repeaters. The great Empire State still
proudly daunts the flag she attempted to hoist
in April, 1861. The Tribune yields the con-
test, and gives Hoffman $4,000 majority.
About the Congressman We can communicate
To our readers no accurate information. Mr..
Greeley, who ran against Sunset Cox in
TIE Sixth Congressional District, is
beaten something over one thousand,
an Unexpectedly favorable vote. The .'bul-
iet-headed" citizens of that district must
have conceived Il fancy for Horace. .....
In Massachusetts there were three candi-
dates for Governor in the field: Clafiin, Re
publican, Adams, Democrat, and Phillips,
Labor and Temperance party. The Repub-
licans have a plurality of some thousands, so
that settles the question about who shall he
the next Governor Of Massachusetts. We
can say no ,aore about the character of the
Congressional elections in that State than We
can about those in New York State. How
ever, we will predict that they are all right
In New Jersey the Republicans have car
ried the Legislature, and elected Halsey for
Congress in the Fifth District, which gives
them four ont Of the five members from that
State .--..,-,...,
In Little Delaware the Republicans are
making votes. They are stronger: than in
IS. which is exceedingly encouraging. .'is.1
From Maryland We only hear about galti-
more. The Democrats, Of course, have
elected the Congressman from that delecfable
city.
Virginia seems TO have voted for Republi-
can Congressman. though the reports are too
imperfect to Justify even confident guess.
Kentucky votes as it did during the var.
1t is intensely and overwhelmingly Demo
cratic. That is right. That is consistent.
Leavenworh is trying to do likewise. Very
good.
Brown is reported elected Governor in
Tennessee. ,Hpti'-e.I
This is not old Old John Brown, nor the |
son of old John Brown which is supposed to
be marching on" He is Brown . Democrat:
|, sufficient distinction. OF course Tenn. is |
Democratic, though We shall probably loose
,othing in the election of Congressmen.
IN Arkansas, the news indicate that the vot-
ng business was attended with more or less
excitement of a turbulent character. The in
lications are that the Conservative party
ave carried the election. We hardly know
That that is in Arkansas. The difference be-
ween ambitious leaders for high positions
7e suspect.
