THE ELECTIONS.

| THE ELECIlONS.
The elections on the 9th instant resulted
in the selection of a majority Of Democrats
by the States voting for members of Congress
alone, and in the Southern States voting for
members of the Legislature as we'll as Con.
gressmen, the Democrats we're successful.
South Carolina's delegation to Congress is
solid Democratic O'Connor being elected
from the Second and Tillman from the Fifth
district-the only two districts which have
been considered doubtful.
North Carolina elects Democratic dele
gates in every district, except the First and
Third. In the First, Martin, Republican, is
elected over Yeates and in the Third, Rus
sell, Republican. .Greenbacker, over Waddell.
In New York the Tammany Democracy
was defeated-by the exertion, it is claimed,
of Mr.. Tilden, whose efforts were directed
against it-though this is not significant as
between a Democratic and Republican con-
test. Twenty-Five Republican and eleven
Democratic Congressman were elected in the
State, and the Republicans have majority
of the Legislature.
In Missouri the Democrats gain three Con.
gressmen.
Minnesota is carried by the Republicans
on both Congressional and State tickets.
Louisiana is Democratic, and solid Dem
ocratic delegation is claimed from the State,
with possibly the exception of the Third dis
trict. AS usual in Louisiana, however, it
will be some time before the official count is
known.
The returns from Alabama indicate the
election of all Democratic nominees except
possibly in the Eighth district, where the
race is very close between Garth, Democrat,
and Lowe, Independent.
Mississippi is reported solidly Democratic.
On the west side of the State the vote was
light, in consequence of the epidemic and
quarantine. In the city of jackson only 27
votes were cast.
Vermont voted unanimously Republican,
except in the Third district, which elected
Bradley Barlow, boiling Republican and
Greenbacker. The new Legislature will elect
United States Senator, which will afford
lively contest on account of the large num-
Der of aspirants.
The vote of Congressman is close in sever
al districts of Wisconsin, but as the Repub.
licans will have good majority on joint bal
lot in the Legislature, it is conceded that the
State also elected majority of Republican
Congressman.
New Jersey has turned complete politi-
cal somersault. Five out of the seven Con-
gressmen elected are Republicans, and the
Republicans have both branches of the Leg
islature by a small majority on joint ballot.
In Wisconsin the Republican candidate for
Governor is elected by plurality of 10000.
The Legislature is strongly Republican.
Delaware elected John W. Hall, Demo
crat, Governor, and Edwards Martin, Demo
crat, to Congress. The Republicans ran no
candidate for either Of the above Offices, the
only opposition, which developed but little
strength, being the Greenback element.
Kansas voted Republican, electing two, and
probably three Republican Congressmen.
Florida elects Legislature Democratic in
both branches, and Democratic Congress-
men, except in the Second district, which is
so close that probably nothing but the Of
fetal count can determine The result.
Kentucky elects two Independent candi'
dates to Congress, and all the remainder Of
the delegation Democrats.
In Nebraska the Republican State and
Congressional tickets are elected by from
5000 to 10000 majority.
Virginia elects Democratic delegation to
Congress, excepting from one or two districts
Gen. Joseph E. Johnston is elected in the
Richmond district.
Nevada goes Republican.
Maryland sends five Democrats and one
Republican to Congress.
Texas elects one Greenbacker to Congress-
from the Fifth district. All the other mem
bers of the Congressional delegation are Dem
ocratic. A few Greenbackers and one or two
Republicans, are elected to the Legislature.
The latest official returns from Pennsylva
mia give Hoyt, Republican, for Governor
59,774; Dill, Democrat, 3S,4S4. 1t is esti
mated that the Republicans will have ma
jority of 40 on joint ballot in the Legislature
In Illinois the election was close. The
Democrats concede that the Republicans
have working majority in the Legislature
