ELECTION RETURNS.

The Davenport Gazette gives the fol-
lowing summary of election news re-
ceived up to Wednesday morning from
the various States voting on Tuesday:
In Iowa, while there has probably
been a very light vote, the Republicans
sweep the State, as usual, by an i'm
mense majority, and return six Repre-
,sentatives to Congress. Returns will
undoubtedly show great Republican
gains, even with the light vote. Even
Dubuque gives the State Democratic
ticket a majority of only 100, a Demo
cratic loss Of 300.
In Indiana, the contest has been
close one, and the returns are meagre
and mixed. The Republicans claim
the State by from 5000 to 5000 maj ority
the Congressman remaining as now.
four Democrats and seven Republi
cans.
Ohio rolls up $1,000 majority, and the
Republicans gain Congressman in the
First District. with good showing for
a gain il, The Ninth. Schenck, after
hard fight and close canvass, is undoubt
edly reelected.
Pennsylvania holds out the prospect
Of Republican Congressional gains in
the 18th and Sd Districts, while the 5th
and second, now Republican, are declar-
ed doubtful.
AL in all, it appears that the Republi-
can cause was nobly sustained yester-
day.

A Novel Question nj LnXY.

A rather singular case has just been brought
before the Master in Chancery, which is likely
to attract considerable attention when it is
thoroughly ventilated, as it will be in due
time. The chief features of the case may be
thus briefly summed up:-During the late war
of the Rebellion q certain business firm in this
city was forced to suspend, one of the part
ners retiring and leaving the other to settle
the affairs of the concern as best he could.
By skilful management and personal popu-
larity the remaining partner succeeded in
effecting a satisfactory settlement with the
creditors of the firm. This being done, he
embarked in trade under his own name, and
by strict attention to business and upright
dealing with his customers became quite sue
cessful, and is now one of the prominent
business men in this city, in his particular
branch. At this juncture of affairs his old
partner, who might have been dead for years,
suddenly reappears on the scene and coolly
claims his full share in the profits of the
concern during this long interval, and is now
seeking to enforce this singular demand by
due process of law What will be the ulti-
mate disposition of the case il is not difficult
to predict. To us it appears one of the most
preposterous claims ever brought before a
court.-FrOm tie Commercial List and Price

sion until 1864. In 1866 he was given com
mand Of the steamer San Jacinto, which was
soon afterwards wrecked on the Florida reefs.
He was then placed on the retired list in
consequence. Although his service in the
navy covered q long period Of years,
his traits of character we're such that
he was never long enough in active SER
Wee to distinguish himself. He was
noted for his eccentricity and excitable
temper, and these were great drawback. He
was by no means coward, and always longed
for active service; but the Navy Department
was slow to intrust 80 excitable O commander
with an important command. He was
wealthy, having come into possession Of
valuable land In Flofida, beSpeathed by his
father. He leaves wife and three sons, the
latter all in the naval service, one being a
Commander, another Paymaster, and the
third Captain Of Marines One of his
daughters married Charles X. Landis, of
Vineland, N. j., another married Mr.. Corlies,
of New York. This marriage was violently
opposed by the Commodore, and out of it
grew family quarrel, which resulted in his
incarceration in the Bloomingdale Lunatic
Asylum. He was, after time, released by
judicial process as a sane man. After the
loss of the San Jacinto and the trouble in his
family, the Commodore's health failed

WEATHER LESSONS FROM THE SKY
The colors Of the sky at particular
times afford wonderfully good evidence.
Not only does rosy sunset presage
fair weather and a ruddy sunshine,
but there are other tints which speak
with equal clearneSs and accuracy. A
bright yellowish sky in the evening in
dicates wind, pale yellow, wet, neu-
trial grey color constitutes a favorable
sign in the evening and an unfavorable
one in the morning. The clouds are
full of meaning in themselves. If their
forms are soft, underlined and featherly,
the weather will be fine If the edges
are hard, sharp and definite, it will be
foul. Generally speaking, any deep
unusual lines, betoken, wind or rain,
while the more quiet and delicate tints
bespeak fair weather.
