The Elections.

The result of the elections held last
week are such as give encouragement
to the Democracy everywhere. OF
which the Boston Post, of Wednesday
the 18th spoke thus:
The returns from Oregon are almost
unexpectedly favorable to the Demo
cracy. Nesmith is sent to Congress
by over a thousand majority 1t is a
complete revolution of a gain, and
the Democrats are jubilant over it
with good reason. 1t is a victory full
of encouragement in these times.
Iowa goes Republican, the Farmers
movement not having been made so
far aside from politics as was anticipa,
ted. From Pennsylvania little was
expected but a Cameron majority, as
usual, Philadelphia and its corrupt
Ring governing the State like we'll
organized tyranny. Had the Constr
tulional Convention completed its pro-
posed work before the election, and
curtailed the power which has been
freely used now for perpetuating cor
ruption, a better exhibit might have
been looked for But the fall of the
Ring is none the less certain to ensue
because delayed. Ohio shows decid-
edly strong and general gains for the
Democracy. "
The Democratic party can justly
derive from the result OF this election
in Ohio, where the Administration
party concentrated its most powerful
efforts on its own behalf, an encour-
agement such as it has not felt for
years. The people are coming back
to the only party that has administer
ed the country's affairs with success,
and signifying their readiness to en-.
trust to its hands the service which
has for many years past been made

The following Washington DIES
patch of Oct, 9Th, to the ". Y, lHorld,
it is said, shows Morton's power over
the President -
There was a fine trade of foreign
offices at the Executive Mansion to-
day, to oblige Senator Morton. The
President transferred S. i. Glasgow,
Consul at lIavre, the salary of which
is $4,000 a year, to the consulate at
Glasgow, Scotland, which pays only
just half ofthat sum, and appointed
Col. John l., Bridgeland, Of Indiana,
rs Consul to Havre. The latter has
been for years the political striker of
Morton in Indiana, and has added to
that fact Washington reputation of
peculiar unlitness for so responsible a
place.

The hand. cutting and robbery
Of the Post family, while at supper,
below Catskill, N. Y, on Friday last,
show it to have been one of the bold

tors. After completely ransacking the
