For CoNGREss-7TH DISTRICT,
Hon. JOHN IT. HARRIS. of Rockingham.

The ELECTIONS news of the recent
elections comes in slowly, and it is evident that
the first reports were greatly exaggerated. The
returns from Pennsylvania and Ohio conclusive
ly indicate the general result in favor of the
Radicals in those States. The vote of Indiana
is so very close that it will doubtless require the
official count to decide the election, though it is
probable that Hendricks is elected Governor by
q small majority. There is wide variation of
Radicals in Pennsylvania, the figures varying
from fifteen to thirty thousand, while the Rad
ical majority in Ohio is estimated by Senator
Sherman at from fifteen to twenty thousand.
The returns for members of Congress are in.
complete. The radicals in Pennsylvania claim
to have gained seven members and to have lost
one, which would give them twenty and the
democrats and liberals eight members of the
forty-third Congress. The present Pennsyl-
vania delegation stands democrats eleven, radi-
Gals thirteen. The Ohio radicals claim twelve
or thirteen of the twenty members of Congress,
conceding seven TO the democrats, gain Of two.
The present delegation stands democrats s.,
radicals IA The Indiana delegation is report
ed four democrats and liberals, and eight radi-
Gals. The defeat of Mr.. Voorhees, by Hunter,
radical, for Congress, is announced. The pre-
sent delegation stands democrats S, radicals g..
The Legislature is said to be radical, which as
sures the reelection Of Morton to the Senate.
The Nebraska Representative elect is radical,
and does not change the situation for that
State.
Pennsylvania in 1868 gave Hartranft, for
Auditor General, a majority of only 9,677.-
Ohio in the same year gave the Republican
candidate for Secretary of State a majority of
1888. Indiana elected Republican caudi-
date for Governor in 1868 by 96l majority, and
gave Grant 9,572 majority in 1870 the Demo-
cratic majority for Secretary of State was O.
$50.
10 Hamilton county, OHIO, in which is in
Guided Cincinnati, the German vote is said to
have been cast solidIyifor the Liberal ticket.
P. S. The latest dispatches from Indiana
show that MIR. Hendricks has been elected Gov
ernor by from $500 to $500 majority.
CONNECTICUT ELECTION. The local elections
in Connecticut on Monday, show large Liberal
gains, and majority of 1000 for Greeley in the
State. Connecticut. therefore, must be erased
from the list of doubtful States, and may, at a
pinch, serve good turn.
