THE EASTERN ELECTIONS.

The returns received from the elections held
last week in several of the Eastern States are of
a character well calculated to send thrill of Joy
to the heart of every true Republican in the laud.
New York, which at the last election gave
Democratic majority of $4,000, this year gives
the Republicans no less than 25, 600 majority in
the State and two-thirds of the Legislature
Massachusetts still stands firm in the front rank
of Republcanism and has given more than dou-
ble the majority at this election that she did last
year. Washburne, for Governor, will have from
l 5 900 to 90 900 over all competitors. Illinois
elects a Republican Congressman at large by
20, 900 majority. In Maryland, where the De-
mocracy had majority of more than 80, 900 in
1868, they now claim only 10, ,000 and the Repub-
licans have succeeded in electing number of
Legislators. Minnesota this year gives Repub-
lican majority of TO- 900, whereas two years ago
it was less than 1000. New Jersey has elected
a Republican Legislature. Virginia shows Re-
publican gains. Wisconsin gives 10, 600 Repub-
lican majority-a gain of 200 over last year.
Verify, the Republican party has great cause for
rejoicing. In concluding an article on the late
elections, the Sacramento Union, of November
9th, has the following " The Republican gains
as indicated by the elections on Tuesday are
mainly due to these two causes First, deep
and pervading suspicion that the Democratic
party can't be trusted as national party and
that if it should obtain the power it would not
hesitate to repudiate the public debt, force the
nation to compensate the late slave lords for their
lost chattels and, second, the bold and villain
Gus robberies of the city Of New York by the
Tammany leaders. These outrages have dis
gusted the people of all the States with the Dem
ocratc leaders, and caused the decline in the
vote of that party indicated by the late election
returns"

The reports made by the San Francisco Labor
Exchange, from month to month, show that there
is great demand for laborers from the country,
but that the supply is extremely scarce. Not
because there no idle men in San Francisco,
but because they do not wish to leave the city.
The last report states that able-bodied men, well
adapted to country life and to labor on farms and
in the mines, will accept menial employ ment in
San Francisco as di8h-washers and scullions, in
preference to manly and independent labor in
the country at good wages.

IT is mark of the unsuccessful man, that he

thinks about bodily health until it is gone. But
just as much as any disease has become seated,
the power of the system to throw off is weakened
hence time all important. For dypepsa, all

BRIDGING THE BAY.-The estimates for bridg-
ing San Francisco Bay, from Oakland to San
Francisco, differ materially, but we append one
of the lowest-that of G. F. Alardt, Chief En-
gineer of the tide land survey "A bridge of
wood would cost 81, ,65286 one with stone
piers, 81, $40 800 with stone piers and iron
truss, S7,306, ,720; and high frst-class bridge,
which would not obstruct navigation, SIG, ,6O8,-
800. To obtain the grade for such a bridge, the
distance from Oakland point to the water front
of San Francisco would be fourteen miles"

Boss TWEED has been elected to the State
Senate in New York by about 1000 majority
although it is claimed that thousands of fraudu-
lent votes were cast and that Tweeds name was
read from many tickets where it did not appear,
and his election will therefore be contested.
1t is also probable that should he succeed in OBJ
tanning an election certificate and endeavor to
take his seat in the Senate, that body will proceed
to expel him.

THE San Francisco Examiner is in great dis
tress. 1t seems to think that the Republicans of
this State are unable to select a suitable man for
the position of United States Senator, and kindly
takes the task upon itself 1t has strongly advo-
Gated the claims of Cornelius Cole, thinks the
Republicans " could scarcely do better than to
elect Thomas H. selhy," and finally endorses
John B. FELTON,. We'd like to know what bust
ness the Examiner has with its finger in our Re-
publican pie, anyway.

DURING the late campaign in the State of New
York, the Tribune, fines and other leading Re
publican journals advocated the election of Ho-
ratio Seymour, ODonnovan Rosa and other
Democrats, thereby showing conclusively that
they are in earnest in the work of reform. 1t
was enough for them to know that the men were
honest and could be depended upon.
