THO Rapfisis.

The Baptists, who have been quietly growing
in numbers in the United States, and in some
places outstripping other denominations, are
evidently having their part in the agitations of
religious opinion. Brooklyn which is called the
CITY of Churches may be expected to harbor all
forms of belief, aud the discussion of the ques-
ton of open or close communion has taken
shape there in such earnest as to lead to the eX-
clusion of the open communion party from tho
fellowship of their close communion Baptist
brethren. The Baptist clergy of this city, who
are not engaged in this movement on either
side, seem to acquiesce in the result, and to re-
gard the close communion position as the proper
platform of their churches. They do not affirm
that they have any right to deny the Christian
name to persons who have not been baptized in
adult years by immersion, or to churches that
receive persons baptized in childhood to their
communion but they simply say that as regular
Baptists they are to have full fellowship with
people and churches who follow the Baptist us
age, whilst those who do otherwise are wholly
free to follow their own aifinities, and make such
associations as they think best. The whole his
tory Of the Baptist denomination is full Of inter-
est and it is one of the strange developments of
modern Christendom that body that began in
such commotion and drew to itself at first 80
many of the unruly elements of the Reformation
is now ono of the most substantial and conserya-
tive, and is becoming one of the most scholarly
portions of the Christian Church, distinguishing
itself by we'll endowed schools and colleges,
thorough theological training, rich libraries, and
sometimes by costly and artistic churches.

The tollo,cing is from our Morning Edntea;
The election III this city passed OF in quiet
manner, yesterday. Only one disturbance oc-
Cured, and that in the Ninth Ward. 1t seems
that man named James Ellis, who, it is stated,
had no right 10 vote, attempted to do 30 and was
arrested by one of Marshal Dunn's deputies.
An effort WAS then made to rescue
Ellis, which led to a ilght in which several bricks
were thrown, but no one was hurt. Marshal
Dunn then went over in person. and arrested
Elk persons, among whom was policeman Hope,
whom he marched of to the Custom House and
there locked them up.
As compared with the vote cast in 1870, that
polled Yesterday shows an increase of 1856. We
give below the comparative vote, remarking
that the figures for this year may be somewhat
changed, but not in any importan particular.
The vote OF 1870 is that cast for Coursey:

THE NEWS MIXED, BUT GENERALLY BAD ENOUGH
THE NEXT HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, CERTAIN
LY DEMocRATlo.
In Philadelphia, the Republicans have over
1900 majority ON the State Ticket. Sheppard
beats Mann, for District Attorney, by 1884 major
ity, and Goddard Dem, heats Ash, Rep. for
Coroner, by 1917. All the other Republicans
on the city ticket elected by large majorities
OF the Congressman, in the city, Chapman
Freeman, Rep, is elected in the First Chas.
ONeill in the Second Samuel j. Randall, Dem.,
in the Third VIM. d. Kelley, in the Fourth and
in the 9th district, where the triangular fight
took place, Robbins, Democrat has crept in,
having higher vote than either Harmer or Ny
ers. The last named ran lowest of the three.
PENNSYLVANIA.
Tho returns from the state at large, in the
morning papers, ale meagre, but there seems
no reason to doubt the election of the Republi-
can State ticket. Hester Clymer is reelected to
Congress in Berk5 county, and it is probable that
Negley, Rep, ia defeated in Pittsburg, which is
loss.
TENNESSEE.
The Democrats carry the State by from $4,000
to $4,000 majority, electing their entire Con-
gressional delegation, except in the First and
Second districts, which are doubtful. Both
branches of the Legislature will be largely DEM
ocratic.
NEW YORK.
The returns from New York indicate that Til
den, Democrat has been elected Governor by
about 80, 900 majority. New York city gives him
Al 900 majority. Wickham, the Tammary can
dldate for Mayor of New York city, is elected
over his three opponents The latest reports
show that 16 Congressional Districts have gone
Democratic, have gone Republican, and 10 are
doubtful.
MASSACHUSETTS.
In Massachusetts, CASTOR, Democrat has been
elected Governor by majority estimated at
from 5000 to 5000. Four of the Congressional
Districts have been carried by the Democrats,
including the Sixth, where Thompson defeats
Benjamin F. Butler by 1900 majority. Gen.
Banks, Independent, is elected in the Fifth Dis
trict by 5000 majority, and Seelye, Independent,
in the Tenth by $40. The State Senate is be-
lieved to be about equally divided, and tho
House is Republican.
NEW JERSEY.
In New Jersey, it is estimated that Judge Be-
die, Democrat, is elected Governor by from 6000
to 10000 majority. It is thought the Congress-
onal delegation will stand 4 Democrats to Re-
publicans. The State Senate is unchanged, but
the House is largely Democratic.
ILLINOIS.
In Illinois, the Republican State ticket is
elected, but the majority is not estimated. The
Democrats have probably gained two or three
Congresemen.
LOUISIANA.
Further retnrns from Louisiana show Demo-
critic gains. The Democrats claim to have car
ried the State by large majority, aud to have
elected four out of the five congressman.
