The Result Yesterday.
WHAT NEXT9
There are two facts established by yester-
days elections. First that Gen. Garfleld is
elected President with the solid northern vote,
except, possibly, New Jersey and that the
republican majority, but all-sufficient TO reor-
ganiZe that body in its officers and committees
after the 4th OF March next The Senate is yet
In doubt. Upon Nevada and New Jersey the
democratic hope depends. II both these states
nave elected republican legislatures, the Senate
VIII be under republican control after March
the Vice President elect. 1t may be that IL New
Jersey has democratic legislature and elects a
democratic Senator, that Nevada Will offset iJ,
and rice re7Sd. Indeed. IL both states send DEM
Ocratic Senator'S the chances are the repub-
ncaDS Will have control OF the Senate, through
the vote OF Malone, OF Virginia, who is undoubt-
esy soIe because Of the Of the
affairs OF that state The gains made by the
republicans In the lower house seems to be
about about as follows; Ohio 8: Indiana 2; Pennsyl
lucky /; Massachusetts, i; missouri, ?:

set this, however, the democrats have gained
In Pennsylvania and 2 in New York, which de-
Quoted from the twenty. -four gained by the re-
THIS will secure to the republicans the control
OF the next House by majority of at least 10.
One of the rUmorS affoat is that Gen. Logan is
10 De secretary OF the Interior, and that Gen.
Grant is TO succeed him In the United States
Senate.
The feeling among the republicans is that the
next administration is to be prominently stall
Wart that all democrats must 60; that there is
10 De no more temp0riZiDg with the south. Yes
teTday'S verdict seems to be accepted by the
stalW arts to mean that the people of this coun-
try want the political affairs of the nation ad-
ministered on Stalwart basis
1t is said by the ultra stalwarts that Con-
gressmen from the south certified to be elected
in districts having a preponderating negro
vote, as to be either unseated or their election
invalidated On the ground that the people have
Lot had chance to record free eXpreSSion OF
opinion. This, it is asserted is the only means
Which can be resorted to to give the colored
voter chance to assert his political rights.
Such policy if adopted would unseat Chal-
mels IN the shoe string district Of MISSISSIPPI,
three OF the louisiana members and about all
CT the South Carolina delegation.
TIE PART TAKEN IN THE RESULT BY THE Or
FICERs AND EMPLOYEES OF TIE GOVERNMENT.
The clerks and employees of the Interior de-
