THE RESULT.

New YORK, Nov. 9.-The Times after re.
ferring to It's estimate of yesterday giving
Hayes Isl votes. says: All Intelligence thus
tar received DOT only shows that the above es
innate was correct, but that Florida, which was
left 10 doubt, has gone republican by ct least
IL, 900 majority. Our latest dispatches say
1000, and that the two republican Congress
men are also elected.
Encouraging reports we're received from Ore
gon early yesterday morning, and 10 the alter
noon came the decisive news that the democrats
conceded the State, which had given republi:
can majority of over one thousand and gained
a republican Congressman.
ID Nebraska the same condition Of affairs
was shown. There the republican majority
rose TO 5000.
Dispatches from Nevada made it certain that
the State had gone Tor Hayes.
South Carolioa shows republican victory,
| the democrats concediDg the State to Hayes
aod the republicans claiming S. 900 majority.
Louisiana is one OF the States which the
democrats have claimed, but our dispatches,
| coming from various sources in the State, show
it has gone republican.
The latest intelligence points 10 the certain
election of Governor Rutherford b. Hayes to
| the presidency and republican victory 10 tue
| nation.
All the Congressional districts have not been
heard from definitely, but advices received de-
| stroy the democratic majority iu the present
house. Indications are now that the republ
cans have elected l45 members, (iocluding
| those chosen 10 September aud Ootober,) and
the democrats AS. 10 the prescott Congress
the republicans have but 10 members to 1856
democrats There is, therefore, q republican,
net gain of 70. All the representatives have
DOW been chosen except 10 New Hampshire,
and two democratic, and will elect 10 March
1877.
New YORK, Nov. 9.-The World says a
vain attempt was made by republican betting
men yesterday to bear the Tilden market, but
it closed firm; Eve to one on Tllden's success
being steadily laid. MIR. Hayes himself con-
coded bis defeat, granting Tilden 1874 votes,
which would leave but one vote to insure q
democratic success. TO give this vote there
remain Florida ~ where adcmooTatlc majority
of 25, 900 is almost inevitable Louisiana Isl
where there IS democratic majority of Is O00
that can hardly be counted out. South Caro-
lima where Hampton is leading, Wisconsin
where the official count will be needed to de-
eide with the chances 10 favor of Tlldeu, and
the Pacific States, California, Oregon aud Ne
vada, the last of which is claimed by 900 ma
jority at democratic headquarters.
The Tribune 1t Is impossible to de-
eide absolutely WHO'S to be the next President
of the United States, but the probabilities seem
to point to the election Of Hayes. The question
will be decided by the votes of North Carolina
and Florida, and in Florida certainly the repub,
licans have the better prospects. The demo
Gratis. however, are confident and the result is
likely to be undecided for some days, In the
August election Of 1872 it was nearly week be-
fore it was known which way North Carolina
had voted. The republicans carried Florida in
1872 By over 1900 majority and the State has
almost uniformly given majority for the same
party. There seems to be 90 further doubt
about South Carolina aod Louisiana. Governor
kellogg claims the latter aud Governor Cham
beriain the former by 900 majority; Hamp.
ton may possibly be elected 10 South Caro-
lima but as the democrats confess that TideD is
at least 10, 900 behind him there is no doubt
that Hayes has the electoral vote. The latest
returns give the Legislature of New Jersey to
the democrats by one majority which would
cause republican loss of one 10 the United
States Senate. The republican majority iu
that body cannot be less than 4 10 the next
Congress aud it may be8 The democrats will
lose nearly Que halt OF their present N siority in
the House of Representatives but will still con-
troll it by majority of about rs
New YORK, Nov. 9.-This city is coovulscd
With .xc,temeut Great crowds are gathered
at all points where election news is distributed
An Express extra says it sees no reason to
change the fact that majority OF the electoral
votes are for TIdep aud Hendricks. This. 1t
says, is the voice Of the people, and nothing
can change it but enormous frauds of the re.
turning boards, as 10 louisiana in 1874.
The Herald says: So close is the contest
that Florida four votes would give the victory
to Hayes by majority of one aud to Tiden BY
majority OF three.
WISCONSIN.
MILWAUKEE, Nov. S-Nolhing but the Of
6clal Canvass can settle Wisconsin,. Both sides
claim it by about 10. ONO majority.
NEVADA.
CARSON, New, Nov. 7.-Iudicatious are that
the State has gone democratic By 1000 ma |
jority.
VIRGINIA CITY New, Nov. 9.-From the |
best information obtslnable, Nevada gives q re.
publican majority of about one thousand.
ILLINOIS.
CHICAGO, Nov. S.-Illinois shows 10 forty
counties, democratic gain of SO 000 Tie
State is surely democratic. [SigneuI
SAMUEL CAMERON.
Secretary Dim. State Con.
CHICAGO NV. 1.-The only additional Cou
,rs.siona news is that Upton, republican, hiss
carried the 18th district, making the fourth
republican gain 10 the State. Sparks, demo
,rat, has carried the 10th district BY good
majority. There is no reasonable tcuodation
or claiming that the democrats have carried
