exception of areas Of light rain in
Oregon, Colorado, Louisiana and
Eastern Texas. A full vote was
consequently poIIed everywhere, aid
the result was the election of Gar
field and Arthur, the republican
candidates for the Presidency and
Vice Presidency, The loss of New
York to the democracy, which was
known early last night. practically
settled the question of the election,
and the result was confirmed after
wards by returns from other States
in the North, upon which the de
mocracy had also set their hopes in
vain. The state conceded to the
Garfield ticket give an aggregate OF
POI electoral votes, and several
others now accounted doubtful may
increase the number by 10 or 20
more. The States voting for Han
cock included all the States, with
possibly New Jersey, claimed by
the republicans,) and perhaps one Or
more of the States on the Pacific
coast. The election in Virginia re
suited in the success Of the regular
democratic electoral ticket, and a
gain of only one republican Con-
gresham. But the returns for
Congressman from the various
States will change the status Of the
next House. Congressional returns
indicate the loss of the following
districts to the democrats; Third
and eighth district Of Missouri, Sc
cond district of Virginia, sixth dis
trict of Wisconsin. These alone,
added to the districts lost at the
October election, would suffice to
overcome the slender democratic
majority in the present House. The
status of the next Senate is howev-
err, still in doubt. We give below
the returns in detail received up 10

THE RESULT IN VIRGINIA.
RICHMOND. VA, Nov. 2.-The
election in this State.so far as heard
from to night, has passed off quietly
although the deepest interest has
deepest interest has been manifest
ed in the result. In this distrc the
only event Of more than usual IN
terest was the refusal Of the judges
of election to recognize the tax re-
ceipt8 issued by the readjuster tax
collectors appointed by Auditor
Massey for the purpose Of faclllta-
ting the payment Of the negroes poll
taxes and thus qualifying them to
vote.
Returns are slow in coming in.
Those received so far are from cities
and villages principally. They in
dictate considerable gains for the
dcbt-paying democrats over last
year. If the ratio is observed or
anything like it in the balance Of
the State, but few readjuster Con-
gressmen will be elected, and the
Malone electoral ticket has been
efectually set down upon. The
election of George D. Wise, demo-
Graf, over John S. Wise, readjust-
er, in this district, is conceded by
a majority Of not less than l,SOO
George D. Wise's majority in this
city is 2,311. The republi can vote
was cast for the readjusters.
In Lynchburg the largest vote since
1869 was cast, The democrats carried

toral ticket sweeps l.oudoun.
A CRUSHING EEFEAT FOR THE READ
JUSTERs.
From The returns received 10 night |
there seems to be no doubt that the re-
adiusters' ticket has received a crush
ing and overwhelming defeat in all Sec !
tons. The leaders Of that party are
utterly dismayec and hardly know what
to say. From all sections from which
returns have been received the debl-
paying democrats have made heavy
gains, In many localities where the
readiusiers were expected 10 carry they
