Tuesdays Elections.

More full returns OF the elections held
on Tuesday have been received, but they
nre still incomplete.
West Virginia gives n large Democratic
majority foe state officers, and elects a
Democratic Legislature. This secures to
the Democrats the two Senators In Con-
Rress that are TO be chosen next winter.
The returns from Ohio are scattering
and incomplete but they indicate the
election OF tho Republican state ticket by
n small majority. The Democrats have
gained largely in such cities as Cincinnati
Cleveland, Columbus, and Dayton, which
Is due to n change in the German vote
but in the aggregate the Republicans seem
TO make the heavier gains in the rural dis
tricts; and this appears to have left the
state in the hands Of the Republicans,
where it was before the election.
The returns from Indiana are still more
meagre than those from Ohio. This is
partly due to the fact that all the candi-
dates, from Governor down TO constable,
are printed on one ballot, and that there
are three full tickets in the field, and there
fore il takes long while TO canvass the
votes. The most Trustworthy adyices
from the State claim that WILLIAMS. the
Democratic candidate for Governor, is
elected.
An interesting feature of the contests in
Ohio and Indiana relates TO Congressman.
In the House previous TO the present,
Ohio was represented by seven Democrats
and thirteen Republicans. In the present
House 1t is represented by thirteen Demo-
Gratis and seven Republicans. In the last
House Indiana had three Democrats and
ten Republicans, and in this House it has
eight Democrats and Ave Republicans.
The great change from the previous TO
the present House in the representation of
these two states was wholly unprecedent-
ed; and therefore the Democrats could
not hope. at the elections on Tuesday, TO
retain the gains they made two years ago.
Consequently, no one is disappointed to
learn that they lose three or four members
In Ohio and two or three in Indiana.
However, some of the districts in each
State are so close that ii is not yet possible
to ascertain how they went on Tuesday.
Upon the whole, with Indiana and West
Virginia going Democratic and Ohio Re.
publican, the Democrats have obtained all
that they expected in this contest; while
on the other hand with Indiana lost tC
them the Republicans have certainly
got the worst of the battle in this shuTI

We have not learned that the British
Government has taken any Official notice of the
new Fenian movement. MIR. o DONOVAN Rosa
has for long tune been collecting money, at
the rate of about three hundred dollars a week,
for :" diminishing fund" which, he says, is to
be expended in a secret assault on England.
There must be ere this very large sum in the
hands Of the illustrious Irish leader, and the
promised blow ought to be struck soon, II the
Rlvers OF the money are to be satisfied. The con-
tributions are acknowledged In the Irish World,
and an examination shows that ost Of the
money comes in small amounts from men,
women, and children, who, presumably, earn 1t
by hard work. For example, elghty-four dollars
was sent by over hundred factory girls In Law
renee, Mass. Some Of the contributors are get
ting impatient, and, In answer to them, Mr..
Rosa says:
1--WE Notice that several Of our friends wish US TO 20
and we viii LAY that we anxious for the fray our
selves e any Of those who would spur Us on. THIS
fund to be used and used actively, and n friends

applied to strike the enemy and that such scare has
already seized England IN connection with It and the
ing in her skin lest all her prisons and ali her pubic
places may be blown to smiihereens some nne night"
Mr. Rosa seems to hint that the public build
ings In England are to be blown up, after GUY
FAwKEs's plan and this idea Is strengthened
by the fact that he recently published an eabo-
rate description OF the various explosives, his
preference being for nltro-gycerine. The pub
lie, and especially tho contributors, await with
interest the evidence of a use Of the " skirmish-
ing fund"

THE MURDERED KELSEY.
The Existing state Of Belief In the Town of
Tar and Feathers.

Shortly after the murder Of Charles G.
Kelsey at Huntington. Mr.. Jas. II. Scarborough,
a New York and Long Island lawyer, and the
partner Of Mr. Downing, the District Attorney
Of Queens County, was retained in the interests
OF the Sammis brothers, supposed, with DIR.
Banks and others, to have been concerned In
the perpetration OF the outrage. At that time
Mr.. Scarborough, "a we'll as District ATTORNEY
Downing was strongly OF the opinion that KEEL
sey was not dead, but merely conco-liug him

of Huntington. including Mrs. Oakley, on whose
premises the Virtlm was tarred ana Gathered
and her niece, Miss Juha smith. now Mrs. Royal

this extraordinary theory, hut Mr.. Scarborough Is

although the latter once threatened to resign

Mr.. staaprouah Is no longer connected In any

Royal Samiuis and Dr. Banks when they were
tried IN overhead for riot and assault and bat
terry. were Cot. Fellows and Mr. Cnas. w. Brooke.

whether Kelsey was living or dead, but MIR.

The gallant MURAT HALsTEAD Of Cincin-
natl HIS got II into bis head that the Jews
played prominent part In the Ohio election.
His paper, the Cincinnati Commercial spoke on
Tuesday OF the circulation or stories intended
to exasperate the Jews and others against the
Republican candidate, BARNES saying that they
had " been invented with reference TO the
people inclined to be sensitive and especially
directed 20 arousing irritable susceptibilities."
Mr.. HALSTEAD also said;
"The last nonsense ont that Col BARNES has been
known TO speak disrespectiuy of jew. All that we
mented by The invention out rate their Intelligence
too hish ~ be apprehensye the influence VI The
story
1t was thus that Mr.. HALsTHAD spoke on Tues
day morning last. before the election of that
3 me subject, after he had read the returns Of
the previous days election, In Cincinnati, be
said:
i" The moat important single Influence has been that
OF the lsracles VINO have almost unanimously voted
the Democratic ticket anu may he credited with the re-
stood that the RDuhllcan Israelites have generally
cumued to the arguuent that Cincinnati has put her
clptll IN southern railroads, anu must lOok OUT Tor
southern trade"
Before the election Mr.. HALsTEAD apprehend-
ed that the Jews might vote against BARNES on
sentimental grounds, or because BARNES had
been known to speak Unexpectedly OF their
race; but after the election, when he learned
that the Jews had voted against BARNES, not
outstanding the protest in the Commercial, he
attributed their conduct TO business reasons or
to the notion that Clnrinuau should look out
for Southern trade. The fact Of the matter
doubtless Is that the Jews voted the Democratic
ticket because Of their relief In Democratic
principles, and their desire for political reform.

Though the people were intensely excited in
