Burlington Election.

BURLINGTON, September 1.-The eleC-
tion passed off quietly in Burlington
with the result curiously mixed. The
city gives the Republican State ticket 9s
majority and heavy plurality for the
regular Republican ticket for State SEN
ator, but elects Smalley, son Of United
States Judge Smalley, (DemocTat) as
representative in the Legislature by SO
majority. This is the first time Demo
crat has been elected representative from
Burlington since 1853. The regular Re
publican ticket for county officers j.
| probably elected in Chittendcn county,
1 though there is IA heavy temperance bolt
on portion Of the ticket.
Further from Vermont.
J RUTLAND, September l.-Returns are
coming in slowly, but the indications are
that there will be but "A slight falling of
from the Republican majoritieS of 1872
on the State ticket. Several large towns
in the State have elected Democratic
town Representative, which was effected
bv the coalition of ;hr rum party with
the Democrats. Rutland elects Demo
cratic Representative by 81 of majority.
Brandon and Burlington also elect Demo-
cratic Representatives 10y small majori
ties. Luke =. Poland, Republican, Is
re- elected without much doubt from the
second Congressional district. Colonel
Charles II. joyce, Republican, is elected
by very large majority from the first
Congressional district. G.. W. Hcndrce,
Republican, is reelected by large
majority from the third Congressional
district Joel {. Baker the regular Re-
publican nominee for State Attorney for
Rutland county, is defeated.
