The Compile xion of Congress The BesaIt
Tie as far as known.


special despatch to the Boston Journal)
NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-All the Congressional
Districts have not been heard from definitely,
but the advices received destroy the Democrat
ic majority in the present House. The indca-
tions now are that the Republicans have elect
ed 145 members Qncluding those chosen in
September and OctoberD and the Democrats
145.
In the present Congress the Republicans
have but ITO members to 1873 Democrats There
is therefore, a Republican net gain of 49, All
the Representatives have now been chosen ex-
cept in New Hampshire, which is now repre-
sented by one Republican and two Democrats,
and will elect in March, 1877,
Excitement in Bangor
BANGOR, Nov. 9.-The excitement here over
the election is without parallel. All day and
evening the newspaper and telegraph offices
and bulletins were surrounded with anxious
earnest throDgs. Few seem able to put their
minds on any business and the whole commu-
nifty is absorbed in the developments of the pa
tional contest.
Exciting Day in Boston
BOSTON, Nov. 9.-Excitement in this city
was never SO high as tonight, and the streets
are packed with anxious people awaiting def
mite election news. The newspaper offices are
surrounded by frantic crowds eager for the
slightest Information. Such intense interest in
any political event was never before known.
The general feeling at this hour is in favor of
Hayes, but dispatches just received point to a
Democratic victory in North Carolina and
Florida.
The Feeling i'm Washington.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 9-Hon. Chas. T. Cor
ham, Assistant Secretary of the Interior, re-
ceived telegram this noon from Secretary
Chandler, saying without qualification that
Hayes has 1876 votes and is elected.
There is a condition of excitement prevalent
in this city unprecedented in any election. To-
day there is noticeable absence of anything
like bosterousness, and the feeling is absolute
in front of the newspaper and telegraph offices
remain quiet to an extent that is surprising
In the executive departments no business is do
ing, and everyone is awaiting with almost
breathless anxiety definite returns from any
one of the states regarded as doubtful.

ILLINOIS.

CHICAGO, Nov. 9.-The only additional Con-
gressional news is that Upton (Rep) has car
ried the 18th district making the fourth Re.
publican gain in the state.
Sparks Dem.) has carried the 10th district
by good majority.
The gain of Republican Congressman exactly
reverses the present political character of the
Illinois delegation.
There is no reasonable foundation for the
claim that the Democrats have carried Illi-
nois. A careful comparison of the returns
received with the highest Democratic vote
cast in 1872, indicates 10000 Republican major
ity.
The. following is the Congressional result in
Illinois:
The Republicans elect Aldrich in the 1st; /;
Brentano in the Sd, (both gains) ;Lathrop in the
4th; Burchard in the 9Th; Henderson in the
9th; Hayes in tho 7th, Ia gan); Fort in the 9Th !;
Boyd in the 9th; Upton in the 18th, "a gain);
Cannon in the I4th; Wiley in the 18th, IA gain);
and possibly Aschcroft in the 18th over Sparks
the present incumbent. This is certain gain
of five Congressman and possibly six.
The Democrats elect the following: Harrison
in the I'd; Hungate in the 10th; Knapp in the
11th; Springer in the 18th; Eden in the 18th;
Morrison in the 18th; Townsend in the 10th
and possibly Sparks in the 10th.

FLORIDA.

New YORK, Nov GA despatch from ex-
Gov. Walker, received at the National Demo-
cratic headquarters expresses fears on his part
that the Republicans have carried Florida.
The returns received up to this hour 10. 30 a.
m. show Democrdtic gains, but leave the state
rtill in doubt. 1t is thought that an actual
count is necessary to determine the result The
Democrats estimate their majority at $500 and
he Republicans theirs at 1900.
LAKE CITY. Nov. 9-Twepty one counties in
Florida give I'LL Republican maiorities, 1S
counties not heard from. but estimated on the
basis of the election of 1874, will give Demo-
cratic majority of 1866, which will make the
state Democratic by 255.
KEY WEST, Nov 9.--All the precincts of
Key West give 979 for Tilden and 976 for
Hayes.
Fort Myers precinct give % for Tilden and
one for Hayes. The only precinct not heard
from will probably cast its entire vote of about
40 for Tilden. making probable Democratic
majority in the county of 81. In 1874 the vote
OF the county for Congressman was Democrats
669, Republicans 657.
9.30.-Key West, Monroe county, gives Til.
den 987, Hayes 9S8, Republican maiority1 1.
Florida honestly estimated by the Demo
Gratis gives 1920 majority as the lowest possible
figure.

LOUISIANA.

New ORLEANS, Nov. 1.-THE Democrats
claim the state by IL, 900, judging from returns
already received.
The Republicans claim that when the river
parishes are heard from, they will have 10000
majority.
Official returns and unofficial figures made
from partial returns and estimates in 35 parish
es, including Orleans, give the following major
tiles: Democratic 22,15O; Republican 1921 !;
net Democratic majority $3.50; gains of Demo-
Gratis Il ,S99; Republicans 1872; net Democratic
gain 1927. The Democrats claim the state by
10000 to $1,000 majority. Republicans claim it
by 5000. Robertson, dem., is probably elected
over Nash, rep, for Congress in 9th district
New YORK. Nov. 9.-The Times special from
Louisiana says the latest dispatches show Re-
publican gains on the electoral vote and a gain
of two Republican congressman.
The chairman of the Louisiana Democratic
Committee telegraphs to the Herald that that
state is sure for 10000 for Tilden.
RICHMOND, Va, Nov "a private telegram

[From the Virginia City (Nev.) Enterprise.l
Chinese Ivory Carving.

There is at the office of the Consolidated Vir.
ginia Mining Company magnificent specimen
of Chinese carving in ivory. The piece of cary
ing is about sixteen inches in height and is
elaborate almost beyond description Or compre-
hension. At the base are several human fig
urcs and the figure Of horse some three
inches in height, all carefully and artistically
wrought, while at distance of about ten
inches above is seen ball about four inches in
diameter, on the surface of which are hum
dreds of human figures, standing or reclining
in inches, most wonderful in the elaborateness
and delicacy of the carvings surrounding them.
Inside Of this ball are no less than twenty-one
other balls, or hollow spheres, each as delicate
and beautifully wrought as the first or outer
she'll. All these spheres may be turned and
moved in such way that the figures carved on
them may be seen. Above this nest of spheres
are q number of human figures, all bearing
the Chinese "human face" which figures are
of about the same size as those at the base.
This splendid specimen of Chinese workman
ship was sent to Mr.. Mackay by friend re-
sining in China. To carve it must have been
the work of years.
