AFTER THE BATTLE.
The November Elections.
MISSOURI.

ST. LOUIS, November 20 Return'
from this State are very meagre anc
scattering OF course the Democratic
State ticket is elected by large MAORI
ty, and the probabilities are that the
Democrats will elect full delegation to
Congress. Their gain will be three
members in St Louis, and ono in the
Tenth District. Should Col. Crisp, the
regular nominee, be defeated in the
Eighth District, Sawyer, Independent,
Democrat, will be elected in his stead,
which will not change the complexion of
the delegation.
The Democrats have elected two out
of the three State Senators from this
city, and twelve out of fifteen rcpresen-
tatives.
A dispatch from Kansas City says the
Congressional contest is very close in
the Eighth District. From the best in
formation obtained, the Democrats
claim the election of Crisp by from 800
to 800, while the friends of Sawyer, an
Independent Democrat, claim bis elec.
ton by small majority.
A Kansas City dispatch from Republ
can sources says that the best intorma.
ton at hand, leads to the belief that
Sawyer, Independent Democrat, is cleo
ted to Congress from the Eighth District
by 1000 majority over Crisp, the regn-
lar Democratic nominee.

Body of A. T. Stewart Stolen.

A New York City dispatch, of the It'll
saAs hAA b3ah 9;f VAS Al Etofs'bs~ 11} say ys
that the officers at Police headquarters
were informed that the body Of A. r.
Stewart had been taken from the family
vault at St. Marks church, early this
morning. The casket was found broken
open.
Inspector Dillies, when informed of
the robbery, at once sent ont the follow
ing general order to all the precincts
"The remains of A. II. Stewart were
last night stolen from the vault in St.
Marks churchyard. The caslct was
found broken open and the body reno
we'd. The decomposition ofthe remains
is so offensive that they cannot be con
ccaled. This is apparent from standing
at the opening of the vault, this morn
ing. Consequently they cannot be taken
across any of the ferries without d;ccov-
cry. Cause dlligent search to be made
in your precinct,as the remains were ev-
identity stolen in hope of reward
Mr.. Libbey, Of the firm of A 7. Stew
art x Co., said, today, that he would not
offer any reward for the recovery of his
body. 1t will give 100000, if need
be, for the detection and punishment of
the outlaws, but not one cent to them for
the return of what they have taken. Not
a single cent will be paid in order to
compromise this case.

FORTY.SIxTH CONGRESS.

The St Louis Republican, reviews the
recent elections and results touching the
next Congress, as follows: "Atter a
thorough and careful examination of all
the returns so far received from the con-
gressional districts of the country, wo
| find no reason to alter what has hereto
fore been said regarding the Democratic
majority in the Forty-sixth congress.
Very few changes need to be made in the
tabular statement printed Wednesday
morning, and those in the general result
reduce the Democratic strength but one,
Republicans gaining correspondingly.
AS the returns stand now the Democrats
have elected 1855 members, the Republic
cans 1913, the Nationals 5, while Nevada
is undecided and California has yet to
elect. There are however, nine districts
in which the Republicans still hold on to
a shred OF hope, or less attenuated, which
it is barely within the range of POSSIBLE
ties might in the official return Republi-
cans. 1t is not to be expected that these
uncertainties will be set at rest finally for
week or ten days. and in some cases the
possibility is so small that it deserves any
consideration. However, granting all
these districts to the Republicans, and
Ncvada's one as well, they would have
but 1873, while the Democrats would still
have JAG.
If the Republicans then carried Cali
fornia in September next and elected all
four of the members in that state, they
would still have but 142 votes-4 less
than the Democrats. There are though,
besides the nine districts now credited to
the democrats but not absolutely conce-
ded by the Republicans, seven more in
which there are similar chances that the
National and fusion candidates may have
been elected, 50 that the regular Demo-
cratic vote may be cut down to 139 and
the National vote increased to II. This
is the EXTREMIST possibility of Democrat
ic losses, and as 8 of the IL Nationals are
either old Democrats or elected by Dem
ocratic votes, and but 3 have Republican
tendencies, the only danger in these pos
sibilites is that the Nationals may hold
the balanee of power and dictate to the
Democratic caucus. on the other hand,
there are four districts now credited to
the Republicans which may prove to be
Democratic, so that if the Democrats
should hold all they are now credited
with, gain these four doubtful districts
and the four in California they would
have, adding the nine Nasional votes, 1863
to the Republicans 124. In
short, there are twenty-one districts which
are still in dispute more or less, besides
the four in California, and the possible
ties are that the Democrats may have
forty five majority on u full vote of the
whole house, while they cannot have less
than three. That is wide range, but
with twenty-five districts which cannot

probabilities are that on the vote for
speaker the Democrats will at least thir-
ty majority, which is eleven more than
they have in the present house.

talk on Man, although we really do not

natured to the verge of POPULARITY the
one on Man will not be, for we know
the animal too well to contemplate it in
