The November Elections.

The November Elections.
On Tuesday, End inst, occurred large
number Of elections, including county
and municipal officers, members Of the
Legislature, &C., in some of the States,
and in New York, Pennsylvania, Massa.
chusetts, Maryland Minnesota, and Wis.
consin there were Governors or other
prominent officers to be chosen, which
centred the main interest Upon these
States, all of which went Democratic at
the last elections, except Minnesota.
The result on the End inst, shows heavy
gains for the Republicans, especially In
Massachusetts, and New York. The first
named State has returned to the Repub-
lican party, and New York is only saved
to the Democrats by comparatively
trifing majority. We give below sum-
mary of the result in the principal
States:
NEW YORK.
Bigelow, Democrat, is elected Secretary
of State by majority of 6,79S, with the
prospect Of further increase. The en-.
tire State ticket is carried by the Demo-
Gratis, but the majorities are greatly re-
duceo. from last year. The Albany
Euening journal comedies 8 majority Of
eight or ten thousand for the Democrats,
and says the Senate will stand twenty
two Republicans to eleven Democrats
two-tEirds majority. The Assembly
stands seventy-two Republicans and fifty
six Democrats-a Republican majority
of sixteen. The leading newspapers Of
New York City estimate the Democratic
majority from $500 to 10000 in The
State.
PENNSYLVANIA.
The complete returns have not yet been
received, but the figures indicate ma
jority of $4,000 for Hartrauft (Republi-
can) for Governor, over Judge Pershing,
Democrat. The Democrats carried the
election for Lieutenant-G Governor in 1874
by majority of 4,679.
MASSACHUSETTS.
Alexander 81. Rice (Republican) has
plurality for Governor amounting to
nearly 5000. Besides the Democratic
candidate, Gov. CASTOR, three other can
didats received a considerable vote,
which reached nearly 10000. Charles
Francis Adams received the vote Of the
Independents, Wendell Phillips the
Labor Reform, and Baker the Prohibi-
ton vote. All of these candidates, ad-
ded to the Democrats, give majority of
5,904 against Mr.. Rice. The Legislature
is overwhelmingly Republican, with a
majority on joint ballot of 149 members.
Last year the Republican majority on
joint ballot was 78.
MARYLAND.
John Lee Carroll (Democrat) is elected
Governor, by majority of Ii 900, which
is reduction of 5000 since the election
in 1873. The Democratic majority on
joint ballot in the Legislature is likewise
reduced from 81 last year to 40 the pres
ent year.
MINNESOTA.
Pillsbury (Republican) has been elec-
ted Governor by 10000 majority, and the
Republicans carry the entire State ticket.
The legislative returns are meagre, and
show Democratic gains, which will make
the Legislature very close.
WISCONSIN.
The Democrats claim to have elected
the entire State ticket, although it was
first announced that the Republicans had
majority of 1000. The latest informa-
ton says the Republicans now concede
the election of the Democratic State
ticket, except the Governor, and Dem
ocratic majority in the Legislature. The
result seems doubtful, and it will require
an official count to decide. The present
Governor, VIM. B. Taylor, is The Demo
cratic candidate.
MISSISSIPPI.
The Democrats won a glorious victory
in this State, sweeping every doubtful
county, and routing the Republicans in
every section. The election passed off
quietly, and not single disturbance is
reported. The Democrats will have
about twenty majority on joint ballot in
the Legislature, and have elected five
out of six Congressman, including the
gallant Lamar, who will likely be made
United States Senator. A telegram re-
ceived in Washington announces that
United States Attorney Wells, the ad-
ministration candidate for Congress, has
been elected by majority of 5000.
VIRGINIA.
The returns from Virginia show that
the General Assembly will not be greatly
changed from last year. There were any
number of independent candidates sup
ported by small body of disaffected
conservatives and the solid vote of the
negroes, and in some instances the inde-
pendenGs were successful. Both parties
are evidently in state of disruption,
and it is predicted that the race and color
line is effectually broken in Virginia,
which will force an entirely new deal in
political parties before the Presidential
election.
OTHER STATES.
There were minor and local elections
in other States, not having any special
significance, and we omit the partial re-
turns already received. =.
The returns given above have been
carefully compiled from the most authen-
tic sources, and may be relied upon as
correct, SO far as they state definite re-
suits.
is reported that Gen. John Nor
gan, the celebrated Confederate partisan
officer who invaded Ohio in 1868, has just
died in Oregon, whittier, as the story
runs, he escaped after he was wounded.
It is strange story but may possibly be
