IMPORTANT POLITICAL NEWS.

On Tuesday last five States of the Union
held elections and chose no less than sixty
one Representatives to the Forty. second
Congress, which assemblies at Washington
in December of next year. The States
which voted were Pennsylvania, Ohio, In
diana, Iowa and Nebraska. Pennsylvania
elected congressman, members of the Legis-
lature and local officers; Ohio chose con
Eressmen and a secretary of State, supreme
Judge, comptroller, and member OF the
board of public works; Indiana congress-
men anu IL secretary of State, auditor, treas-
urer, attorney general, superintendent of
public instruction and judges of the Supe-
Tior Court for four districts; Iowa con-
gressmen and a secretary of State, auditor,
treasurer, attorney general, registrar and
judges of the supreme court, and Nebras-
Ia full state ticket and congressman.
We have not space to give in full the
details of the result, but may remark gen
orally, that the situation in regard to the
congressman elected remains nearly I'M
changed, both parties holding their own
and electing the same men or those repre-
renting the same political party as the
present incumbents. Hon. D. w. Voorhees,,
Democrat, of Indiana, is reelected.
Later returns 10y yesterdays papers show
a Democratic gain of one Congressman,
probably two, in Indiana. Also the defeat
Of Gen. Schenck, in Ohio whose election
the Republicans have given up. McClurg,
Of the same State, Republican, is also de-
tcated.
In Pennsylvania, in many districts, the
election returns are very close. Democrat
ic gains, as general rule, may be noted.

Total, 22,550 1854 3,01G

This table shows q decrease in the num-
Der of dwellings of about 1877, and also a
decrease in the number of inhabitants of
about 500 in the county, from the census
of 1860. There must be some inaccuracy
in the figures to account for this result
The total voting population of the coun-
ty, as near as can be estimated from the
registry of this and last years, is GOA,
which would make the proportion of one
voter to every three and a-half and frac-
ton over of population. Tho estimates
heretofore have placed the voting popula-
ton in the proportion of one to every five
and a-half
The number of deaths recorded in Dub
lin and Halls Cross Roads districts, if at
all correct, shows a remarkably healthy
condition of the inhabitants there, and the
aggregate for the county should increase
its reputation for salubrious climate. We
have often heard of the place tout West"
which was so remarkably healthy that
