The election in this county passed
off without the slightest disturbance
although there was the deepest in
terest manifested on the part of the
friends of the respective candidates
The result is most gratifying in eve
ry respect, and glorious in triumph
beyond the expectations of the most
sanguine. In every town and county
heard from in our own State the
Democratic candidates make large
gains, while III other States the re-
turns indicate the same Waterloo de-
feat to the Republican Civil Rights
candidates.
The fight in this Congression-
al District was one of the most Wig
orous and determined efforts ever
made by political party to throw
off the yoke that bound them, and
the result indicates most glorious
triumph for the entire Democratic
ticket. In the language Of our es-
teemed fellow-citizen. Joseph Brown,
Esq, P. NJ. (Which is postmaster,) if
this mania against Butler extends
elsewhere in the District, the prob
ability is that Judge Butler is beat"
That the mania" is epidemic is
pretty evident, to those out of the
boat. Mcfarland is most certainly
elected-hc has. so far as heard
from, been sweeping every precinct
nearly, and carrying majorities even
in Buffers strongest holds. He has
clearly proved too much for the Red
Fox, who is now tagged down, and
exhausted and can realize no pos
sible chance for safety, than to
crawl into his hole and pull it in af-
ter him. From passengers on the
western bound train this morning,
we have sufficient returns from the
upper counties to fix the election be-
yond a doubt. Besides his majority
of 1923 in this county reliable infor-
nation gives McF. Hawkins by 250,
Greene by 400, Washington by 200,
and Sullivan by 100 to 1900. His
majority over Butter will reach 1900
to 2000. We have no time to elab-
ora'e on the glorious result. Next
week we will publish the returns
tabular form, with brief mention of
the screw" now checking baggage
preparatory for the Salt River expe-
ton. The boat leaves the wharf to-
morrow evening at 5 o'clock.
No fears for Hodges. Speaking,
generally, he leads the ticket. Leep-
er is making splendid race. Por-
ter is waxing it to the Narragansett
severely, and all is lovely and Sc
rene!
In the Second Congressional Dis
trict, though he has made heavy
on the Republican vote, we
fear from the returns received that
Mabry's gains are not sufficient to
defeat the election of Thornburg.
The news from all quarters is of
a truly glorious character. Mas
sachusetts elects a Democratic Gov
ernor by 5000 majority. and repudi-
ates Beast Butler as her Represen-
5ative in the next Congress. New
7 ork city gives Tilden. Democrat,
more than 10000 majority for Gov
ernor. The Democrats gain men,
1ers OF Congress in Michigan. in
South Carolina, 2 in Alabama, and l
n Maryland with other districts
doubtful. Georgia sends an undivid-
ID delegation to Congress. k
