CHICAGO, Oct. 12.--Election returns
from Iowa are meagre and scattering
So far they indicate an extremely light
vote, but proportionate Republican
gains over last year.
There is nothing received from Ne

Election returns from Indiana ar,
Meagre and unreliable. A large re

Side Railroad. The testimony of Hart
further shows that most of said per-
sons left Yamhill county within a
short time after election and went to
work on the railroad. The foregoing
testimony is confirmed by the deposi-
lions of L. Woods, j.. M. Masterson
and d. Cartain.
The report from the testimony be-
fore committee cites the names of nine
persons as non-residents, and voting
for Laughlin and Hussey: also four
persons not natnralized, and one in
competent by his own testimony, max
ing the total number of illegal votes
cast for Laughlin and Hussey at said
election thirty-tive.
We find the following named per-
sons not residents of Yamhill county
on the 9th day OF June, 1870, said
persons voting for contestants, VIM.
M. Townsend and Andrew Shuck:--
Alexander Williams, FL. T.. Burmes-
ter, E. f. Barnes, DR. G. Toler, j. b.
Barnes, B. F. Shields, j. Hunter, p.
Weiser, L. Weiser, j. c. Fowler. To-
tai, ten votes.
We further find the following named
persons were legal voters and offered
to vote and were rejected-they offer
ing to vote for contestants, Townsend
and Shuck: VIM. Whalen, lee Mitch
ell, JAS. Crowning, Own Bowen,
Thos. Dawson, j. Cartain. Total, six
votes.
c. E. Fendall was rejected, evidence
showing him to be qualified voter,
and offered to vote for contestants. -
Adding this to the foregoing makes a
total of seven.
In summing up we find the follow
ing to be the legal vote of Yamhill
county cast for representatives:
Andrew Shuck..... ass
Lee Laagan ...... ...............3sl
. :
shucks II
Wm NJ Townsend. So7
Lee laugh n.-..... ........5Sl
Al. Husscy
Townsends majority II
We therefore find that Andrew
Shuck and VIM. NJ. Townsend were
elected to the seats now occupied by
A. Hussey and Lee Laughlin, sitting
members Of this house.

SENATOR FAY has immp, talized himself
in the eyes of the Oregon Radicals by vot-
ing with the Republicans in the Benton
county contest. The solitary editorial arti.
Gle in last weeks Corvallis Gazette is de.
voted to the most extrayagant and syco.
phantic laudation of Mr.. Fsy's . sublime
detection" and 8. stainless HONOR" and
thinks that . his fearless and sterling in.
tegrity cannot be sufficiently commended. +"
We certainly opine that such beslobbefing
homage will not be sufficient to wheedlc
Mr.. Fay into the painting bosom of Mon.
gfel Radicalism, although that is evidently
the design of these brain seeking sycophants

Senator will probably say to them, in the
language Of the immortal song, .'Shoo fly,

The Houston (Tcxas) Telegraph of the
oath ult. says:
"The election of NJ c. Hamilton to
the United States Senate took many OF
his party by surprise, The witherlng re
buke he administered to the action of the
Houston Radical Convention for time
blasted his prospects FOR preferment, but
he has triumphed over all opposers
There is a remarkable unanimity by all
candid men Of all parties III conceding
honesty to him. We have known him
over twenty years, and have ever reagard
ed him as an honest man. There are cir
cumstances in his history which prove,
also, that he is man of enlarged benevo-
lence, possessing tender and Affection
ate disposition, and those who nave
known him longest were most surprised
ut his bitterness towards The Contedera'es
We do not believe that he can bear NAL
ice, and would not be surprised II his
course in the Senate should surprise his
opponents most agreeably. whatever 1t
may be, however, we would rather see an
honest man our Senator, even if he OPP
poses us, than to feel that we were repre-
sonted by one without integrity. 1t will
never be said that Morgan G. Hamilton
has his price"

"Of Major Flanagan we know possibly
less than is necessary to fair estimate.
He is man of ability, though a prosy

Nxy- The New York .Sun has discover
ed that Grant is rcsorting to the despcr-
ate expedicnt Of trying to form aperson,
nj party and run as its nominee in 1877
over the ruins of the organization that in
1868 placed him in the White House
Upon which Mr.. Dana comments thus :
That Gen. Grant will be utterly disap
pointed in his personal aspirations, it
needs no prophet to predict. That he
may succeed in running the party which
trusted him is quite possible. That he
will be able to advance even in sight OF
the point where Clinton and Jackson
failed, is to the last degree improbable
That he will be missed from the White
House on the ith of March, 1878, with
the same indifference, not to say contempt
that followed the departure of John Ty.
ler and Andrew Johnson, history will
doubtless. record. .I.
