THE ELECTIONS LAST TUESDAY.

Elections took place Oh Tuesday last in
twelve States, and the results are the most
cheering for the Democrats.
Returns SO far received from the counties
of Maryland indicate that the democratic ma,
jority for comptroller of the treasury will be
10000 The Legislature will stand: Senate
Is democrats, s opposition House of Dele>
gates &C democrats, Is opposition. The last
Legislature stood: Senate 10 democrats, 7
opposition House 81 democrats, 81 opposi-
ton.
Pennsylvania has been redeemed, and
elects Democratic State ticket by over TO-
600 majority.
In Virginia Col. Holiday, for Governor,
and the Conservative State ticket, was elected
without opposition. In the Valley counties,
Koirer, democrat, is elected to the Senate,
and Hanger and Echols, democrats, and
Van Lear, readjuster, to the House, in Au-
gusta ; Lowell, democrat, to the House in
Warren Clarke, w. G. Hardesty, democratic
nominee, is elected, the vote standing, Har
desty $50, Briggs, independent, 3ls, Lou,
than, independent, 2O6; in Frederick, White
acre, democrat, and Fauntleroy, independent
are elected to the House, and Barton, nomi-
nee, defeated. The indications are that
twenty-one of the forty-three members of the
State Senate are "readjusters," and forty>fve
members of the House of Delegates favor the
same policy.
The entire Democratic State ticket is
elected in New York.
Gen. Mcclellan has over II, 900 majority
in New Jersey, and the Democrats have
good working majority in both branches of
the Legislature.
The Republicans carry Wisconsin by a
plurality of about 5000.
In Massachusetts,, Rice Republican candi>
plurality.
Connecticut does not elect State ticket
this year. The contest was only for por-
ton of the Legislature. The Republicans
controlled the last Legislature, and the re-
turns now indicate that they will have ma
jority of the incoming Legislature.
In Mississippi, the Republicans made no
nominations for State officers. The Conser
vative Democratic candidate for Governor
was John NJ. Stone, the present incumbent
of that office. He and those on the ticket
with him have received heavy vote, and
are elected without opposition.
Kansas and Nebraska have gone Republic
can, of course, but by majorities far below
tho usual figures

ORGANIZATION OF MILITIA.

A Washington special to the Baltimore
Sun says that Senator Davis, of West Vir-
GINA, who has been giving much attention to
the subject, has concluded to address himself
to the preparation of Ian to encourage the
organization of the militia of the State through
the aid of the general government. Senator
Davis has communicated his views to num-
Der of Senators and members, and finds that
they make very favorable impression
Senator Davis proceeds on the idea, and in
this he is sustained by very many, that the
true way to insure domestic peace and tran
guilty is not to increase the regular army,
but to provide an efficient militia. This is
also the view of number of members Of the
House, who advocate an army reduction. 1t
is held that the regular army in time Of peace
should be brought down to the lowest standard
consistent with the proper care of the public
works, Notifications, &c. and the necessities
of frontier duty. Then let the general gov>
eminent supply arms, ammunition, &c, to
the several States, and also make annual ap-
preparations in money to aid them in putting
their militia on an efficient footing both as
regards personnel, material and esprit du
corps. These are propositions which will be
subm tilted for the consideration of Congress,
and they are likely to meet with popular APP

The Electoral Counsel Fees.

The publications which were recently made
in reference to the large hotel bill paid by
the National Republican Committee for Mr..
Stanley Matthews called out the statement
from his friends that the personal expenses
of all the counsel before the electoral CONS
mission had been paid by the respective
national committees of the two parties. In
quiry has developed that so far as the coun-
sci on the Democratic side were concerned
there is scarcely a modicum of truth in this
statement Mr. Matthew II. Carpenter, who
was taken out of the enemy's camp as it were,
received 81 900 for his argument in the
Louisiana case. Messrs. O'Connor. Merrick,
Blair, Trumbull, and all the other Democratic
counsel were volunteers, and not one of them
received cent for his services in any shape
or form. 1t is of interest to see how the
counsel on the other side Jared. As has been
shown their hotel bills, which included all
the luxuries of the season, were paid. MIR.
Evarts is Secretary of State, Mr.. Stoughton
is minister to Russia Mr.. Matthews is United
States Senator through the direct assistance
of the President, and Mr. Shellabarger has
been retained in all the profitable government
cases before the courts of this District. Mr..
McCrary, who appeared as one of the kepub>
lican directors, is Secretary of War; Mr..
Kasson, who was another is minister to Aus
tria In addition to this, nearly every mem
Der of the returning boards of Florida and
Louisiana, and nearly every one of the Re-
publican electors for those States has been
provided for with federal Office.
