The Recent Elections.

The elections held last week in Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio and Iowa resulted in the tri-
umPh Of the Republican party, by unex-
pectedly large najorties.
Iowa in the West was of course considered
certain for Republicanism as is Vermont
IN the East. The Republican State ticket Is
-lected by the usual 10000 majority and
the complexion Of the Legislature is such as
to ensure the election Of Senator Harlan to
the L. : Senate
Ia Pennsylvania, the Republican candi-
late Tor Auditor General Is elected by me
$4,000 or $1,000 majority. In 1869 GOV.
Geary's majority was only L,575. The Re
.ubhcans Will have a majority in both
ranches Of the Legislature, they having
elected ten of the fourteen Senators that do
Mt hold over Last year the Senate was
Democratic The success in Pennsylvania is
loudly gratifying because it has been achieves
70 a fair fight, and over the strongest and
most popular candidates 0f the Pennsylvania

10 Ohio, the home Of the new departure,
the Republicans elect Gen Noyes Governor
py p 600 majority. The House has some
J,n or twelve Republican minority, while the
>cr ate is reported either as tied or as having

ASoTHER FENIAN RAID.-Gen. O'Neu Of

three men aud one woman. They surren-
dered at discretion, but sent note to the
Z. 5. troops at Fort Pembina, narrating tie
occurrence. The - ood-thirsty Eenians -

forward to interview " 0 Neil. The ser
zeant was captured and carried inside at rhe
point Of the bayouet-but on narrating The
act that our troops We're in the rear, he wa
.. let alone, and the half-breakia=ttd F.

stockades and put for the hush. O'Neil'i

at Fort Pembina. TIE entire scene was
ludIcrous and ridiculous affair, but it cause

force has been raised and sent to Manitoba
to guard that desolate frontier from Yankee
Fenian invasions. O'Neil would made

Nine counties in South Carolina have long
been the scene OF violant and brutal dJilgs
Of the Ku-Ktux. Due notice has been
heretofore given that martial law would be
proclaimed unless these outrageous acts
ceased; and now the President makes Off
cial proclamation commanding that these I'M
lawful combinations and conspiraces dispense
within five days OF course, this means
that martial law will come next IN the nine
COMMITTEES referred to. Martial law Is to be
dreaded, but 1t seems that nothing else can
put down the determined Ku-Klux of South
Carolina.
