THE ELECTIONS.

LIZ LILC IIONC.
Elections were held in thirty States
last Tuesday. Up to this time Of writ
ing the returns are incomplete. Enough
has been received however to show
that there have been large Republican
gains in the old free States and large
Republican loss in the old slave Sta ties.
In the free States there have been
large Republican gains in Representa-
tives and in the slave States there
have been large Republican losses. So
the next House will probably be Dem
ocratic with redu ced majority. The
Republican gains in State Legislatures
will give the Republicans one or more
United States Senators.
KENOSHA-CITY AND COUNTY.
The result of the election in Keno
sha-City and County-at this time of
writing, Thursday forenoon, remains
to be determined Reports have been
received from all the wards of the city
and Towns of the county and official
returns have been received But the
Board OF Canvassers yesterday after
noon found imperfect returns and sent
the Sheriff for the returns and adjourn
ed till 8 o'clock this morning. Ac-
cording to the reports received the Re-
publican candidates, all but three, have
majoritieS, some of them by hundreds.
The Sheriff, District Attorney. and
Clerk of the Circuit Court are defeated
the District Attorney by only two
votes. In this city some of the Repub-
lican candidates run largely ahead of
others-tOo largely, it would seem, to
be by fair means, and charges of trad
ing in votes are openly made. AS we
now write the Canvassing Board is
engaged in canvassing but nothing has
been heard of the result of the canvass.
