Augusta, Monday Morning, Nov. 8.
A Glance at the Field.

Our columns this morning present very
fully the result of the election last Tues
day. There is but little change from the
reports given on Wednesday. New Jersey
and Nevada give majorities for Hancock,
but California, of which there was a
doubt at first, goes for Garfield. The re-
publican candidates are supported by 2l9
electoral votes, or "a more than a major
ity of all the votes in the Electoral Col
lege The latest returns show that the
republicans will have in the House of
Representatives of the Forty-seventh Con-
gress majority sufficient to insure the
control OF that body. The success OF
the republican candidates in several Of
the Southern Congressional districts which
the democrats have hitherto easily held
against all opposition, indicates change
in political sentiment which seems to
promise the coming of better day in the
solid South.
The following table exhibits the division

The new Senate will be very close, so
that its political complexion cannot yet
be accurately determined. In the House
the republicans will have a majority some
where between ) and -. The New Eng
land delegation has been affected but little
by the election. 1t contains in the Forty
sixth Congress, "a republicans, 2 demo-
Gratis, and greenbackers in the Forty
seventh the republican districts have held
their own, the greenbackers remain, and
it is believed that one of the democrats
Morse of Massachusetts-will be dis
lodged. The net republican loss in the
Middle states is ,, 4 having been lost in
New York and , gained in Pennsylvania.
The republican gains of = in Indiana and
6 in Ohio were made in October. In Cali

trict, but in other respects the delegation
is unchanged. In Illinois there is
republican gain of one. and

Of the representatives have been re-clect-
ed. In Alabama the seats of seven are

The Bourbon delegations from Mississippi
Florida, and Arkansas remain unbroken
in the democratic column. but Texas sends
one greenbacker in its delegation. Geor-
gia probably sends full democratic del
egation.
The upheaval in Virginia and Tennessee
has unseated one Democrat in the first
named State ami two in the latter. and
the three places will be held in the Forty
seventh Congress by republicans. In
Louisiana the Democratic lines have been
broken, and the notorious Acklen will
yield his seat to republican. The hereto

Is Representatives in the Forty-sixth Con-
gress is republican. the Democratic
strength has been so reduced that one re-
publican and two republican Greenbackers
have been elected. North Carolina has
been severely shaken by the republican
revival. but she will send but one republl-
can, as before. In West Virginia the First
District gives republican gain. Late
kilograms declare that even in the State
of Senator Wade Hampton one district has
been carried by the republicans against
Democratic frauds and intimidation. This
view presents very nearly the situation as
it will finally appear. Well may republic
cans rejoice for it is decisive and glor-
ious victory.
