The Hancock electors were defeated, by
the unexpected results in the cities of
New York and Brooklyn, to which
alone General Hancock owes his defeat
The Democrats have gained five Con-
gressional Districts in the State and
lost one, Ulster District, making a net
gain OF four in the Congressional dele
CATION In the present Congress the
delegation stands: 9 Democrats to "a
Republicans. In the next it will stand;
Is Democrats to 20 Republicans.
English opinions of the result Of the
election are as follows. The London
Advertiser says: We can not but regret
the result. In the first place there is
no comparison between the merits of
the two men, Garfield is third-rate
Republican party politician, belonging,
not perhaps tothe school Of the Blaines,
Conklings and Camerons, but quite as
little in that Of reformers, ike Adams,
or administrators like Sherman. He
ia the nominee of the wire pulling
interests. Hancock is, with few ex
ceptons, the most distinguished, and
without single exception, we believe,
the most loyal. honest and high-minded
soldier still in the active service Of
the Union. He is a man of distinction
so great that even his obnoxious Demo
cratic politics could not prevent his re
tention in active service, when twenty
nine thirtieths of the soldiers, officers
and generals of the Federal army were
relegated to civil life, and since the
younger Adams no man OF character
equally high, no man so completely
answering to what Englishmen mean
by gentleman, has filled the Presiden-
tial chair. Garfield belongs to the type
Of which Lincoln was the best, and
Andrew Johnson by no means the worst
example.
The Times believes England has more
to hope for in the way Of a dignified
and worthy policy from the Republi-
cans than from the Democrats, and
expect an eminently good administra-
ton from Garfield.
/ The New York Times says. General
Hancock seemed yesterday to be the
least concerned of any man on Govern
or's Island over the result of the cleo
ton. He had retired at his usual hour
the night before. After breakfasting
with his family yesterday morning he
went to army headquarters and busted
himself with his official correspondence.
General Mcclellan called to express his
sympathy, aud Hancock reply was
that he was sorry for the people and
the party. To other gentlemen who
called he said he was willing to abide
