 NEW YORK, Nov. 8.-From good authority t'is stated that the Democratic majority in this city on the State ticket will be 37.0OO. Rollins, Republican candidate for Surrogate, has been elected by nearly 10000 majority. For the Assembly it is stated there is good Democratic gain. Flower, Dem, has been elected by small majority over Astor, Re- publican, in the 11th Congressional district.
 In the Ninth Congressional district with more than one-half of the Assembly districts heard from, Hardy, Dem., has more than 5000 majority. Boyd. Tammany Democrat, is elected in the Fifth Senatorial district by at least 1000 majority.

 One hundred and twenty-six towns outside New York and Kings counties show Re- publican majority of S35, net Democratic gain of 7,124.
 The midnight bulletin from the Republi- can committee headquarters says: At this hour the returns, while very incomplete ow- ing to the defective working of the tele- graphic wires occasioned by bad weather, are still sufficient to show the Republicans have probably elected their State ticket, with the exception of Husted for Treasurer, by small majority. The returns thus far received be- ing mainly from usual Democratic districts, the heavy Republican districts not having been heard from, the indications now that the Republican majority will beincreased and that Husted may yet be elected. It is now certain that James W. Covert, Dem, in the First Senatorial district; J. W. Brown ing, Dem., in the Eighth Joseph Koch, Dem, in the Tenth T. E. Eclesine, Dem, in the Eleventh; Henry c. Nelson, Dem, in the Twelfth Homer A. Nelson, Dem, in the Fifteenth Abraham Lansing, Dem., in the Seventeenth; and R. c. Titus, Dem., in the Thirty-first have all been elected.

Ja- cobs, Democrat, is reelected by small ma jority. Seth Low, Republican candidate for Mayor of Brooklyn, is elected by small ma jority, probably 5000, and the Democratic majority on the State ticket in Kings county is cut down some 5000 and will not, from present appearances, exceed 3, ,O0O The Dem ocratic majority in New York county on the State ticket is now put down at 37, 900, so that the Democrats will not from present ap- T1nara0caS reach Az 000 The probabilities are in favor of the Republicans in the State at large.
