Columbus, Oct. l3.-Returns to-night;
indicate the election of 20 republicans and.
l3 democratic senator's. Two districts in
cluded in the above are still in doubt, one,
being claimed by the republicans and the
other conceded to the democrats. It iss
thought that the republicans will haye
from 80 to 35 majority in the house.
DesMoines, Oct l3.-The democrats
concede 10000. The Registers returns on
legislature give the republicans a. of 6V
senators, and 78 of 100 representatives.
The greenback vote in the state has fallens
off SO per cent since last year.
Seventy eight counties give Sherman 49,.
600 net majority over Kline and sustains the
the reasons for an estimate Of $4,000 ma
jority. No change in the figures regarding
the legislature
Albany, Oct l3.-The democratic state
committee has organized with Daniel Mans
ming of Albany as chairman.
New York. Oct. l3.--A reporter inter.
viewed Jno Kelly and asked him point
cratic ticket. He replied, that is something

therefore it would be premature for me to-
discuss the probabilities.

Keogh. Montana. dispatch says: New and
valuable silver mines have been discovered
on the Head of Clark s fork, tributary of
the Yellowstone river. The mines are To-
Gated near the national park, on the Crow

doubt another great silver bonanza has been

crate bonds proceeds steadily on all over
the south. Gideon Townsend of New
Orleans pays s25 per $1,000 for bonds with
coupons of 1865 attached. Brokers in New

! New York, Oct l3.-Patrick Nord has;
issued an address to the land leaguers Of
America, in which he says Irishmem must
restrain their impulses; reason and not
!. passion should rule, for never did land
league have better opportunity to manifest
its moral power than low. Never did it
become the duty of Irish people to exhibit
the virtues of self possession, discipline aud
obedience, nor to attend the league more
than now. Through enlightenment and
organization the people will assuredly come
into possession of their inheritance. Much
has feen accomplished looking to this end
already Gladstone himself openly confessed
the league is the only government in Ireland
with any moral force behind it, hence he
makes war upon it. He presents the arms
of majesty, ideas which are inyulnerabls
and immortal,

general comment here that President Ar

| who has preceded him. Ex-President
Grant had the reputation of keeping close
mouth. but even he took certain senators
into his confidence. Neither President
| Arthur's closest friends, nor those who are
most interested-cabinet officers who desire
to be relieved-appear to have any knowl-
! edge of his plans
| Washington, Oct. l3-David Davis Of
| Illinois was elected as president pro tenn. Of
the senate this morning. The vote was
conducted quietly, and was matter-of-
! course proceeding BaYard refused to vote,
saying he never had obtained the Office by
| his own vote and would never retain it thus.
| Davis did not vote either. Some democratic
senators think that had Pendeton's motion
| been deferred until tomorrow, Bayard
| would have had an opportunity to fill va.
cancies on committees. Under Edmunds'
resolution, adopted this morning. he could
have made democrat chairman of foreign
| relations and could have given the demo-
Gratis majority on finance. military and
| Judiciary committees, and still been able to
provide for new senators on inferior com
mittees. Other senators say that Bayard
would have been too delicate to take adj
vantage of it, knowing his terms would be-
so brief No more caucus was called, and
sena ors all agree that the session will end
| in a few days.
