hind gerrymsndcr that they were to enjoy
an easy victory, they have suffered severe
Disappointment and sundcr all ciicum-
stances n signal defeat The great political
wrong they had perpetruted has brought
speedy retribution to their cause, as under
it the State is redeemed to RcpubiCanism
by nearly or quite 10000 majority,
with the chance of gain Of
one or more members of Con-
grcss over what the Republicans have
in the present Congress. This is the result
of gcrrymandcring in Ohio anil the pred ic-
tion made some timc.ago b. THE NATIONAL
RErvDLiCAN-that they might gcrryman-
der the territory but could not gerrymaudcr
the people of the State-is fully verified.
In Indiana the returns come in slowly
and are somewhat indefinite. We feel JUS
titled in assuming that We have held our
gro1nd in that State. The popular moior-
ity against us will be about the same rs two
years ago, while 1t is asserted that the
Grccnbackcrs or Nationals will control the
Legislature. We feel confident that we
have lost nothing of our strength in Con-
gross, and it is possible that we have made
n gain Of one
Iowa yindicatcs her RcpUblicanism with
.unfaltcring step. We have carried the State
by an increased majority, and hold the full
Congressional delegation as heretofore. The
predictions Of the enemy have proved cx-
ceelingly faulty in regard to the result in
stalwart Iowa, and, fer that matter, their
assumptions in regard to all these States
have met with signal defeat, showing that
they have been fighting wild.
We have nothing definite from West Nir-
ginin. The State is small one, but the
lines Of communication are such rs not to
enable early returns 1t is rumorcd that the
Republicans have gained member OF Con-
grcss in the Wheeling district; but we do
no; feel justified in asserting the claim.
Thisis glory enough for one day. The ball
, IS in motion, and if other States will do
rs well as these the Democrats will not
have the next House.

TIE threat is boldly made by Democratic
here in Washington that
Judge BELFoRD shah not be permitted to
take his seat in the next House rs Repre-
sentative from Colorado. Mr.. ADAMS, the
present Democratic clerk of that body, will
have much TO say on this subject, and it is
believed thlt'ir the refusal by him to give
the seat to RELFuRD will secure TO the
Democracy the requisite number Of votes
twenty by S.utes-to decide the next
Presidential election, he will not hesitate to
yield to the clamor Of his partisan leaders
for the pcrpetration of this great outrage,
These leaders firmly believe that there will
be no election Of President by the people in
l-sU, and are therefore making timely
preparation for the contingency Of an cleo
tion by the House, in which event Judge
BELruRD's single vote would count Ns n
set-oil, for example to the nine votes from
either Georgia or Virginia. The recently
published charges that BELToRD's election
was procured by fraud, were made and are
being reiterated very generally by the
Democratic press as basis for this prospec-
tive action by Mr.. ADAMS.

is clearer, and her requests are no longer de-
