English ON the Result.
INDIANAPOLIS, November 5th.--Wm. 81.
English to-day said to a Neps reporter that
Indiana had held up remarkably well, con-
sidering the October defeat. The Democrats
have not had majority in the State since
1872, and then Hendricks had less than
!. 200. Personally he feels no cbagrin, ell
though he acknowledges that the unsought
honor of the nomination for the Vice Presi-
dency has no charm for him, and he is rather
glad to be left to a more congenial and profit
able life. The Democracy. with q Demo
cratic Senate, close House of Representa-.
tives and the Presidency decided by small
majority in a single State, will not die. The
real cause of the Republican success was the
prosperous times and business, satisfaction of
the country that it was best to leave well
enough alone and the lack of harmony in
New York. The October election in Indiana
and some other things may have had little
weight, but the main thing was the good
times and the disposition to let well enough
alone. In concluding, Mr.. English bewailed
the corruption in party politics, SO different
from forty years ago when he first entered
political life.
Defective Ballots In New York.
NEW York, November 9TH -Superintend-
ent Walling says that the 80 ballot-boxes at
the police headquarters, in relation to which
50 much mystery prevails, were taken to
headquarters in order to ascertain the truth
of the rumor that number of votes had been
cast for William S. Dowd," Republican
candidate for Mayor, instead of William
Dowd, and had been thrown out as detective
The law recognized in such cases the intent
of the voter, and the ballots would undoubt-
eddy be counted for the Republican candidate.
A reporter endeavored to count the defective
votes thrown out in the canvassers' returns
on election day. but was prevented by Chief
O'Brien of the Election Bureau.
Mackey's Announcement.
New YORK, November 5th.-The following
dispatch was received at the Republican
headquarters this morning:
VIRGINIA New, November 4, 1880.
Hon. S. W. Dorsey: Full returns cannot be given.
The indications are that Hancock carries the State
by small majority. The Legislature Congress-
men and Supreme Court Judge are Democratic.
The cause is local issues and the Chinese letter
JOHN w. MACKEY.
South Carolina and Virginia.
CHICAGO. November 9Th. = The Inter.
OCEANS Washington special says: Wade
Hampton appears to have kept the pledge he
made at the Cincinnati Convention, that
South Carolina should give Hancock an
overwhelming majority. In the face of the
undoubted majority of 40, 600 colored voters,
in the face of the fact that Republicans were
SO well organized that leading Democratic
organ had repeatedly admitted that there was
grave danger that they might carry the State,
and in the face of evidence furnished by local
reports in the Democratic papers that the
negroes very generally turned out to the polls,
the Democratic managers have returned s.
majority for Hancock in every county in the
State, with the single exception of Beaufort,
where the blacks outnumber the whites about
II to l, and the official count promises to give
the Democratic Electors over 10000
majority. 1t was intended to return all
FIVE Democratic candidates for Congress
as elected, and the probability is
that all of them will get their certificates
sooner or later, though even after all the
frauds perpetrated by the Democratic man.
ayers at the various polling places in Charles
ton District, there seems no doubt that
Mackey, the Republican candidate, had a
majority according to the first count.
Later returns from Virginia show that the
contest between the Republican and regular
Democratic electoral tickets is very close,
and some hope is entertained that Garfield
may come in ahead when the whole State has
been heard from. A gentleman here received
the following dispatch this afternoon from
Edmund Burke, United States District At
torney for Virginia Virginia is in doubt.
Half the State only gives the Democrats
1000 majority, with strong Republican coun.
ties to hear from. The Democrats are in.
clined to concede the State"
President Hayes and His Old Regiment.
CLEVELAND, November 5th.-The Presi-
dent this morning received members of bis
old regiment at the Cannard House. He
made speech, declaring that the principles
of the Republican party were so just that
whatever was done for the welfare of the
country would tend to establish them more
firmly in public estimation. This belief was
justified in the election Of General Garfield,
and his election was promoted and the inter-
ests of the party served by the policy which
the Administration had constantly pursued.
The President and his wife went East to. day.
Garfield was in town to-day.
The Next Congress.
WASHINGTON, November 5th-Secretary
Mcpherson, of the Republican Congressional
Committee, claims that the next House will
have $50 Republican members, against
total opposition of 143. There seems to be
only three districts at all doubtful in this
calculation, and conceding them to the Dem
ocIats the Republicans would have exactly
the constitutional quorum and a bare ma
jority of one. The belief among the Repub.
licans is that President-elect Garfield will
call the House in extra session on the 9TH of
March next for reorganization, and the Sen
ate, as is always the custom, to confirm his
Cabinet and such other nominations as he
may have to make. If Congressman Frye of
Maine is elected to succeed Senator Hamlin,
his chances for the Speakership of the
House will be excellent. He is warm
personal friend of the President-elect
and has a goodly following in the
House. 1t is urged in FrYe's favor
as against Kasson of Iowa, that the long
continuous service of Frye in Congress, and
preside over the Republican House. Edward
Mcpherson. late Clerk of the House, it is
said would be again willing to accept that
trust. He would probably meet with little
or no opposition. The veteran parlia-
mentarian, John NJ. Barclay, will in all prob
ability resume his old position of Journal
Clerk of the House. Ex-senator Dorsey, it
is said, would like to succeed Colonel Burch
as Secretary of the Senate. There are many
rumors that Malone of Virginia will act
with the Republicans. and thus tie the
Senate in case California returns another
Republican, in consideration of having at his
disposal the Federal patronage OF Virginia.
Secretary Schurz is spoken of in connec-
ton with the Austrian mission under Gar
field.
Senator Blaine viii arrive in Washington
next Monday, to remain until the holiday re-
cess of Congress.
The Popular Vote.
NEW YORK, November 6sh-A. M-An ex-
animation of the majorities cast in the sew
eral States shows that Garfield has probably
received at least SO, 900 more votes than Han
cock.
The Result in New York.
New YORK, November 6th--A M-Cor-
rected returns make the majority for Garfield
in New York about $1,000. Republicans
throughout the nation may rest assured that
the difference between these and the official
figures cannot exceed a few hundred, and that
the votes Of the State will be counted as they
were cast.
The Electoral College.
