The Election, Yesterday.

The returns thus far received Il A. ny
while they do not indicate with certainty
the result yesterday in such States as
New York, Pennsylvania and Illinois, yet
show, Is did the October elections, gen
eral gains for the Democrats in most Of
the States heard from. The vote Of New
Yerk city Is very peculiar this time. TIL.
DEN, the Democratic candidate for Cover.

jority, and yet JONES, the Republican can.
dIdAte for Register, has shout 10000 ma.
jority, and this too while WIcKHAN (Dem) }
Is elected Mayor. We think 1t altogether
probable that taking the gain in New

for Dix has been model Governor and
as such has done much to repress law

execution Of the laws. We are glad,
however, that he is TO be succeeded BY 3
man like Tilden, instead ofsome.creature

Not having heard from Pittsburgh, We
are OF course without advices as TO the
result in the District Just adjoining us,
where our editorial friend MOORE was
not re.nominsted, and where, in conse.
quence, there Is Republican detection.
Upon the whole, the dispatches re-
ceived up TO this hour do not indicate
that the Democracy have swept the boards
clean and clear. There are crumbs oil

Minnesota, Michigan and Rhode Island,
for which we are thankful under the cir.

pose to put on sackc!oth and ashes. "No
