The ELECTION RETuRss-WHERE THE
RELIABLE News COMES FRoM.-The commu
nifty have been held in suspense sinse the
day of election to hear the returns Every
body has asked, what returns now?,and all
the reliable news has been received. has
come over the wires of Pacific & Atlantic
Telegraph company. On the night
of election this Office WAS
crowded until morning and has
been ever since. The figures received over
this line, enabled on the night of election to
estimate Hawiey's majority at less than one
hundred and we so informed all of our
friends on the strength OF this they have bet
heavily with every republican of o specula.
tive return of mind and they are not few in
this city and the result has demonstrated the
reliability of the Union's favorite telegraph
news, about which it has Dragged SO LASTLY
for a year past. Those who have believed
its buncombe have probably paid for their
faith. We offered to pay for the news that
came over the Western Union lines but have
received only one message. The operator
in the Office of the P. & A. line has done
this community a service by staying in his
Office night and day and thereby enabling
the people to get the quickest and only
reliable election returns that have been
received. Such services should be remem.
bered BY giving the line q fair share of
patronage.

WHAT A CHANGE.

The gains of democratic congressman
in this state has terribly frightened the rsdi-
cal managers, and they are beginning to look
about for some way of excusing away their
losses and for retrieving their defeat. 1t is
we'll known that they have the congressional
district so divided as to Offset the large dem,
ocratic counties with republican counties.
The sweeping changes that have been made
at this election tell them that with the pres
ent divisions they will be entirely wiped out,
and they now want to cal. together the re-
publican counties. A radical in this city
told US yesterday that be only hoped they
would have the legislature and they would
fix US next time by adding one or two more
republican counties to this district to offset
that ID Adams county. where in spite of
three or four hundred negro votes the demo.
Gratis had made a gain of nearly three hun
dred since 1868.
We also find the same plan proposed by
the Chicago Journal, which in speaking of
the losses of congressman, says:
The congressional fights were bitter and
desperate. The republican party was
divided into irreconciiable factions. When
a minority OF numerical responsibilities
prefer the defeat of the party to the triumph
of the majority, defeat is inevitable. Not
only is it inevitable, but it is perpetual. The
spirit of retaliation once aroused and j%ustii
ed, deues all party discipline. The faction
beginning it is sure, upon the very first OPP.
portunity, to be stabbed with its own sword
We suggested the only remedy yesterday,
viz: Those districts must be remodled, so
that those who cannot live togetherin pence
may part company. Such local animosities
do not stop with their immediate object.
but work disastrously for the general
ticket.

THE Democrat says that a Doctor Jurgen
who came to that place to follow his pro7
fession from Chicago, and leaving two little
children there, has laid four months in the
county jail on a groundless charge. He
charged a man 65 cents for medicine and
advice, the man went to a drug store, found
the medicine only cost ten cents. thought 55
cents too much for advice, had the doctor
arrested on q charge of obtaining money
under false pretences, sent him to Jail, and
then left town, Grand Jury dismissed the
case, the Doctor found his children in the
Poor House. All for 65 cents.

The MERCY HosPITAL FAIR IN DAvEN-
PoRT.-The Davenport Democrat says
The Burtis House was last night literally
packed. Up stairs and down stairs every
available inch of room was occupied, which
showed how deep an interest our citizens
take in the welfare of the institution tor
whose benefit the fair takes place. The
stock of useful, ornamental, and luxurious
articles is largely increased by donations
from abroad, and every customer at the fair
is q benefaotor to the hospital. The voting
on personals with which we entirely disa.
gree, commenced last evening and went on
oriskly. The tableaux were much admired
and the new one of Rogers Sculpture
Studio was considered the gem. The fair
continues this and to morrow evening, when
we trust a couple of thousand at least will
have been raised for the hospital"

THEATRE-The audience last night was
an improvement on the one of the frs. eye>
ming, but still there might have been more,
and no one crowded. "The Serious Fam
ily,' and loan ofa Lover were well played,
and elected frequent applause.
This evening is the occasion of q grand
farewell benefit to Mr.. and Mrs. Plunkett
who are deserving of a liberal one. The
play is Kotzebues STRANGER" in five acts
in which manager Plunkett appears in the
title roll. He has performed the Stranger
in all the leading theatres in England and
America, and is said to be unequalled il
the personifcation of this character. Mrs
Piunkett appears as Mrs. Haller, and Char
ley as Peter. The Entertainment vii
conclude with a capital farce, neve,
before performed in this city, entitled
Master Jones' Birthday, with the inimitabie
Charley as Adolphus Fitzsopper. Take the
bill ell through and it promises to be the
best that has been put before our citizens
for many a day. Let our citizens turn oul
and fill the hall, and give manag Plunket'
such q benefit 30 he deserves for his numer-
GUS attempts to please our pleasure seekers

ADMIssIoNs.-Houest confession is good
for the soul, even if it be a small soul. The
Union admits all of our charges in reference
to the intimidation of voters, even to admit
ting that both of the communications it has
published, and which were handed to us for
publication, were written in the Union office.
1t says:
The same gentleman copied Mr.. Downes'
letter in this office, at his request, in order
to leave the o~riginalfor publication in the
UNION, in case the 4ryus declined to pub
lish it. This accounts for both articles
being in the same pedmanship."
Jus. as we expected. 1t was necessary
for these communications to frstgo through
the Union office, and to be subjected to such
supervision and correcting as the editor OF
the Union or Hawley might think best
In reference to these communication it IL
fair to suppose we have hit the nail on the
head or they would not rush so Dramatically to
the defense of Mr.. Fleming.
