members ofthe House Of Representatives,
and one.halt Of the Senators, the other
half holding over from last year, when
the Republicans had oue majority In the

Republican majority in the legislature
will be about the same as last year.

The Republicans have gained the 18th and
llth districts. The 18th is Senator Bar.

from $4,000. So far aS returned for

CHICAGO, November G.-The Er.
changes and banks are closed to-day, a.
vel! as many private houses, on account
OF the election. The vote has, up to this
time, been light in the city, where, on
account OF the numerous tickets in the
ield, there is much scratching. The yoS
in the county is for county officers and
for the S500000 appropriation to carry
on the Court House. In the State in cen.
eFaI the measure before the people is the
proposition 10 appropriate 1852 900 to
complete the new State House, the oriRi.
nal appropriation Of $3,6O0o0O being
about exhausted.
CHICAGO, November 6.-The vote in
this county is light, and the day has pass.
ed uneventful. Up to II o'clock tonight
returns from the city give McCrea, Re-
publican candidate for County Treasurer.
9 9,240; Lynch, Democrat, 6,s95, These
hSgres are from 3S out OF ll3 precincts
and Indicate very close vote in the city,
with probabilities in favor Of the Demo-
crats, but as the towns outside will give
some 1900 Republican mSjority, It ia
confidently expected by the Republicans
that they will overcome the city msjori.
Y. The tickets are running evenly, with
little scratching.
CHICAGO, November 6, Ia, M.-Up to
this hour McCrea has ll,sl7 and Lynch
l0,599 in 50 out of 1l3 precincts in this
city, with some unusually heavy Demo.
cratic precincts to hear from. The probs.
bility Is not different as to the final re.
suit from those already stated. The
worklngmen carried one or two whole
wards and are showing up we'll in the
later returns. It looks as though thew
may have polled 5000 in the city. The
State appropriation is badly beaten in
the county. There is a good majority
against the Court House appropriation.
The Inter Ossan'S 81. Paul returns at
midnight indicate Republican gain in
that State.
The Republican majority ia estimated
at from 10000 10 15000.s The Leqisls.

TheNtre Golng versus Danelng.

Theatre Going versus Dancing,
We observe that the Episcopal Church
Congress in New York was very much
exercised on the subject Of amussmente
10 iu debates on thssubIsc the other day.
It discussed dancing and thOAtre going at
some length, aud after an extensive Inter.
change Of opinion came, apparently, to
the conclusion that the latter was the
less harmful amusement OF the two, We
agree with this conclusion. We pre-
sumo that it would be easy to chow
that more moral tsins Is Cngendsred
in society BY dancing than by theatre go.
Ing. The system Of cheap balls now pre-.
vailing In all cities is nothing short Of a
curse to society. Hundreds and thou.
sands OF girls are thereby prepared for
ultimate ruin. And as Mrs. General
Sherman we'll said in her recent letter on
the subject Of dancing, tits an amuaemsut
susceptible OF so much degeneracy that
those who become dcyo:ees to 1t have
grslt need indeed to beware of The lengths
to which II is carried.
Ga tho other hand, theatre going is an
amusement while it can be and Is
abused, finds itI origin In the intellectu
al cravings Of human nature. The drs.
matte element is an ingredient Of mans
mental dsVelOpemenI. We observed re.
Gently some remarks by a Boston divine
on the subject that struck US a. sensible.
Speaking Of theatre going, he said that
the subject was a pesplexius one to tho
Christian, and one whichHhrew him back
upon his moral foundation and divine
standards. But the dramatic instinct,
he claimed, was implanted universally
in human nature, and the world Of tideal
art was as pure and as much for man's
domination as the world OF nature. The
fact that the dramatic art had been
abused, he said, was no more against the
drama than the fact that some beautiful
grove or Island had been used a. place
for a bScchanslisn orgie wss an argu-
ment against the groves and Islands Of
nature. Tho abuses Of the stage were the
abuses OF the corrup. heart Of men. The
stage, be thought, could be reformed, and
i! was the duty OF the church to go down
into the world Of smusemsnt and make it
pursr and batter.
We think most persons VII o have given
the subject much thought will ugreO with
the opinion expressed by this divine, that
the dramatic instlnG: is too strongly in-
planted in human nature ever to be erad.
icAted, 1! is, therefore, simply question
OF controlling tho stage by good or bad
influences. The influences now at work
upon it arc noIieesbly better than they
wOtO Atsw ysar' ago. There is more
general attendance OF good people at
theatres, when standard playa arc pre-
ssH'ed, thsn at any previous period, aud
hence the tone of nearly all stage psE.
formerI is mauItestIy higher. All ap.
paarances indicate that this improvement
willgo on.

yet are sensitive in regard to all their

the iOllOwing.WordS have a good deal Of
meaning:
By the present Iiquor.tax bill every

pay 80 cents upon the Sl00 Of real and
personal property owned by them the man
who drinks whisky gays $40 on the huu-
dred dollars worth, or eighty times the
amount paid By the owner Of property
upon 1t.
These men who drink not only pay the
tax Of 81 cents 10 the State, but they pay, ,
in addition, 10 the seller Of the liquor ten
cents Tor each drink, and they have TO
ratSe the money to pay this ten cents, as
