Bobbed-will have to walk upon his hind legs in the future. The off-year has carried the Republican party cler.n off its legs. Conkling and Grant placed themselves out of the race, but it will be out of their power ever to place themselves in it. Aethub is now wandering about New York with his head in his hand like Diogenes with his lantern seeking for some one who has been true to him. Persons about to marry will do well to take note of a recent decision in Pennsyl vania. A secret conveyance made just be fore marriage is regarded as a fraud on the future wife, and will be set aside. Folgei: showed his shrudness in retain in"- his office of treasurer. Otherwise he might have had to support himself during the winter like the bears, by sucking his paws. That ceremony has now merely a mora! significance with him. Aexhue's mtdiciue bag Baa been surrep titiously opened by his secretary. It con tain:, the feather of a magpie, the dried neck of a crane, a check of Jay Gould on Bur.com bank, a shark's tooth, and a small bran no v.* whet stone, stamped, "wit sharpener." On Tuesday next there will be a grand beggar's daces given by the employes at Washington. As many of their dress suits have been pawned to meet the forced levies of the Republican committee, to avoid envy no one will be admitted in that dress. After the dance a committe will be appointed to sue Hubbell for an account ing. Tnr.:-:n college professors are said to have die ' by rapture of the gall bag on hearing of Ben. Butler's success. Ben. remarked at some trial, on being told that a witness -was a college professor: "Yes, si know, we hung one of them once." Since then, in the minds of all college officers, the dif ference between Ben. and his Satanic majesty has been but insignificent. The New York court of appeals has de cided that a wife cannot sue her husband for beating her. The rule of the common law was that a man was not allowed to beat his wife with a stick of unreasonable size, and an unreasonably large stick was a stick larger than the judge's thumb. As the common law still seems to obtain in this country, women will do well to try and secure judges with the smallest possi ble thumbs. THE COUKaE OF THOUGHT. One need not read the papers of the country with more than half an ej eto see, that, so far as their evidence is per suasive, the center of gravity of American thought is rapidly passing westward. Of our eastern papers those of New York city, are allowed by all to show the most marked ability. Yet, how many of them exhibit in their columns either thought or style? The Herald, of course, devotes its chief energy to maintaining its advertisements. Its only effort to secure intellectual ability was made singularly enough by young Bennett. Hearing that some prominent journalists laughed at his editorials, he made an ejacalatory prayer, and added with fervor that he supposed money would buy them. An offer of a larger salary trans ferred them to his office, and as he sup posed, made the purchase of their brains secure. But alas, men cannot be bought. He only carried back the empty shells of their intel lects. The spirit which marked their earlier efforts when they wrote from conviction has never reappeared since they have writ ten solely for money. So, too, the World has become etiolated under the shadow of the great stock brok ers' ownership, and the Tribune also, though its editor is s.-.id to have extricated it by a tour d'amour from the gripe of Jay Gould, still feels its baleful influence. The Evening Post, since the death of Bryant, has never aspired to a higher reputation than that of a correct school mistress. There remains the Times and the Sun. It would be foolish to deny that both these papers are conducted with great ability. The former paper is not, however, without grave defects which its English proprietor's contempt for the American people prevents him from cor recting. Its literary editor from his lack of a common classic education feels a hatred for all scholars, and, from his lack of popular success feels - a hatred for the people, and from being obliged always to praise the publications of the large houses that advertise in his paper has lost what independent' judgment he possessed. Moreover a large portion" of the Sunday Times is made up of a story and shorter articles stolen from English , papers and magazines. The articles are well selected, but such a "patent inside," is wholly un worthy of a paper that aspires to be a leader of American thought. There remains the Sun, which is the best edited paper on either side of the ocean. The theory of its editor is that news should be impartially sifted through the trained intellects of specialists, and only the ker nels presented to the public. It is this method that makes the cost of running so small a paper so enormous. But the Sun, though rapid and deep, is ' but a small channel for the outflow of the Eastern mind. The leading journals of Chicago and other Western cities, both in matter and style, have no equals on the Atlantic coast. With equal erudition, they display far greater freedom of thought and. far greater strength and grace; of expression than the Eastern press. As perhaps the most delicate of tests, observe that all the wit and humor •of our Eastern papers is ' borrowed from the West. 'y: ■■ yy 7:777 ■ Two causes of this are obvious enough. One is that the greater freedom of life in! the West gives greater stimulus to in dividuality; the other that we are farther away and suffer less from the overshadow ing power of English thought, which awes the literary men of the Atlantic coast and frightens them into becoming mere imita tors of their great masters. ,v 1' EDUCATION AND PANICS. There were 4,008,907 farms in the United States in the year 1880. Of these 2,984, --906 were occupied by , the owners, 322,357 were rented, and 702.244 let on shares. There were 105,000 farms of over 500 acres, 2,728*593 between 50 and 500 acres, and the rest were under 50 acres. From 1870 to 1880 the number of farms in creased 60 per cent. These figures have an important bearing; upon that mysterious subject, American panics. It has always greatly puzzled English writers on America to understand why panics in this country should be so much more severe than abroad, and should be followed by seasons of such marvelous prosperity. It is not singular that their explanation of these questions should have little value, since they approach this like all other American subjects without any facts to control their hypotheses. A writer in the Pall Mall Gazette recently gave as a cause that Americans were almost exclusively an agricultural people, and consequently obliged every year to stake their prosperity on the weather's gambling table. The writer could not have heard of the panic of 1873 which occurred after two most abundant harvests. The truth is the reverse of this writer's statement. America's wide area and great variety of climate and products give her great immunity from injury from failure of crops. No great country has suffered so lit tle from such a cause. As these statistics prove, a panic is sim ply the result of the overcrowding of our cities. The producers of food bear too small a proportion to the non-producers. Provisons decrease, manufactures in crease. The price of the latter falls below its cost of manufacture and the tide turns. The relief from the panic is the exodus from cities to the country. Idlers and manufacturers become farmers. The cause of the greater severity of our panics lies in the greater over-crowding of our cities. The cause of this is beyond a question, the wide diffusion of education throughout the whole country. We have no peasantry; all our farmers' boys receive a certain degree of education, and they are taught to think themselves at least the equals of their city cousins. Tiie country offers them but scanty amuse ment, and the first aim of almost every country lad is to go to a city. This ac counts for the rapidity with which .. a few years of pros perity crowd our towns. It is one great cause of that feverish life that pervades all our society and so astonishes every for eigner. It is difficult to see any remedy that can be devised for this evil. CAPITAL GOSSIP. | The Widow of General Pickett— The House Committee**—Contemplated Legislation Postoffice Matters. [Special Telegram to the Globe.] Washington, Nov. B. —The charge has recently been made that the widow of the confederate Gen. Pickett, who has long held a position in the war department, was removed at the instance of Senator Mahone. It was stated at the war department day, how ever, that Mahone had nothing whatever to do with the removal, and that Mrs. Pickett was removed at the direction of Secretary Lincoln, who interprets the law to mean that widows of Union soldiers shall be given preference when they are de serving, and as there were many applica tions from worthy widows of Union sol diers, he gave the place of Mrs. Pickett to one of them. The ways and means committee will meet here next week to endeavor to come to some agreement as to legislation pend ing before the committee, and to consider the recommendation of the tariff commis sion, if any recommendation shall be laid before them. It is known that Judge Kelly, chairman of the committee, will insist that bills be reported which will make large re ductions on the internal revenue taxation. His ultimate object is to abolish the inter nal revenue system altogether. Morrison and Carlisle, on the other hand, will un doubtedly insist that there shall be a large reduction in the custom tariff. The appropriations committee will also meet next week, and one of their members has recently written here that they hope to be able to complete at least four appropriation bills, so that they may be reported to the house at the open ing of the session. These promises are heard before every session of congress, but they are very rarely realized. The postoffice authorities will urge the senate to pass at as early a day as possi ble the . bill that has passed the house for the modification of the money order system. Dr. McDonald, the chief of the money order division, is of the opinion that if the bill shall become a law rates will so largely increase the business of the department as to be a large source of revenue to the government. An effort as also to be made to pass the postal currency bill at an early day. There is a very urgent demand for this bill from many quarters. The local butchers are endeavoring to check the sale of Chicago beef as much as possible. One of the means to this end has been to bring suit against those who deal in Chicago dressed beef, on the ground that such dealers are liable to the license tax of $25, which is imposed upon produce dealers. Such a case was tried before the court here to-day. The ques tion is to be immediately taken to the dis trict supreme court on appeal. Kentucky Whisky. Lexington, Ky., Nov. B.— a meet ing of the Kentucky Distillers' association held here to-day, the following resolution was adopted: Resolved, That it is the sense of this meeting that the bill now before the sen ate of the United States should pass at this session of congress, and that any bill look ing to the extension of the bonded period of whisky now in bond, and refusing the same extension to whisky made, is uajust and discriminating, and we will oppose any such bill ' , THE ST.

All have gone Democratic. The Third elects Oats Williams, the Sixth Hewitt, the Seventh Forney. Prior will be the only new member. ARKANSAS. Little Rock, Nov. —Returns from all parts of the state do not change the gen eral result. All the Democratic candidates for congress are elected, but the total vote is apparently not more than half that polled in September, there being no real contest only in the Second district, which the Republicans concede to Jones, Dem. by 1.000 majority, but which the Demo crats claim by 2,000. There is a large Greenback vote in the Second district, up on which Williams, Republican, counted, but a large majority of the Greenbackers voting supported the Democratic nominee. The majority for Breckenridge, for con gressman at large, is estimated to be 18,000 to 20,000. No reports of disturb ances or charges of illegal voting anywhere. CONNECTICUT. New Haven, Nov. —The Democrats fired 100 guns to-night in honor of the Democratic victories. Habtfobd, Conn.. Nov. B.—The total vote of the state 115,333, distributed as fol lows: Waller, dem., 59,020, Bulkley, rep., 54,872, Rogers, temp.. 851, Tanner, gr'b., 590. The assembly will lack one repre sentative. It stands 138 rep., 110 dem; sen ate, 13 rep. and 11 dem. For congress, Eaton, dem., in the First district, has a plurality of 913, Mitchell, dem.,in the Sec ond district has a plurality of 1.826. Waite, rep. in the Third district has a plurality of 1.615, and Seymour, derm in the Fourth dist., a plurality of 1,435. The Republican candidate for comptroller. Gen. Frank D. Sloat, is probably elected. His name was on a ticket circulated by the German society and he is popular in the Grand Army and other organizations. He ran ahead of his ticket generally. COLORADO. Denveb, Nov. —The vote of Denver is still incomplete. ; At 12 o'clock the pre cincts heard from show heavy Democratic gains. One hundred and fifty-three, pre cincts in the state give Grant, dem., a ma jority of 1,239; Belford, rep., for congress, a majority of 1,078. Ex-Senator Chaffee, chairman of the Republican state com mittee, could not be found at headquarters this morning. Gov. Tabor, rep., does not concede the election of the Democratic governor. He believes the legislature safe, and also the election of Belford to congress. He concedes a majority for Grant, dem., for governor; Wallace for congress and the legislature of . this county of 800, which formerly gave a heavy Republican majority. The Democratic - central com mittee claim the state by 2,500 to 3,000; the house doubtful; Wallace, dem., for con gress, 1,000 majority. They also claim Denveb, Nov. 8. —Ret__s from the state are coming in slowly. One hundred and seventy-nine precincts give Grant, Demo crat, for governor, 1,326 majority and Bel ford, Republican, congressman, 1,157, with six city precincts to hear from. The latest indications are that Grant and Belford are both elected. Ex-Senator Chaffee concedes the state to Grant by about 500 majority. The senate and house are still in doubt. This was the most bitter fight Colorado has e?er known. . this county by 1,000 majority. Politicians say it will be made up. The new legisla; ture indicates the election of Tabor to the Unit ad States senate.. CALIFORNIA. San Fbancisco, Nov. B.The count of the city up to midnight, being partial re turns from all points, indicates a majority for Stoneman of about 10,000 on a total vote, and for Blake, Republican, for mayor of about 7,000. The balance of the Demo cratic ticket is elected by varying majori ties. No returns yet on congress. A col lection .of returns show the Democrats have carried the state ticket by a hand some majority, probably 5,000; haye elect ed all the congressmen except in the Twen tieth district, where Page is probably suc cessful, although the contest is close, and have made a clean sweep of the San Fran cisco municipal ticket with the possible [ exception of major. - Figure* Vary on the ' mayoralty, and it is not certain at present who ia ahead. Legislative returns are very meager, but it is probable the Democrats have a working majority in both houses. The Prohibition ticket cut no figure. San Fbancisco, Nov, — Returns from 52 precincts in this city up to now give Stoneman 1,600 majority over Estee. The mayor, sheriff, superintendent of streets, and county clerk are still doubtful. In all other cases the Democrats have a ma jority. Further returns indicate Stoneman's majority in the state is large, and will reach 13,000. The Democrats make a clean sweep on the state and congressional ticket, Sage's defeat being now assured by defections' in Alameda, Sacramento and San Jaoquin counties, aggregating about 3,000 votes. The legislature is not figured up, but the Democrats will have a majori ty of both houses.. DELAWARE. Wilmington, Del., Nov. —Complete returns from the entire state give Stockley.

Topeka, Kas., Nov. —There is but lit tle more to-say about tbe election in this state. The Democrats have elected their governor; the Republicans the remainder of the ticket, and the legislature is Repub lican by 30 on joint ballot KENTUCKY. Lousville, Nov. B.— Republicans have all day claimed four congressmen, but returns so far indicate the election of but one, Culbertson, in the Ninth, who has a majority of 1,500 over Hart, Democrat. Halsell, Democrat, has a majority of 200 over Hunter, Republican, in the Third; Wolford, Democrat, certainly defeats Carr, Republican, in the Eleventh, and Thomp son, Democrat, has nearly 1,000 majority over Ewell, . Republican, in the Eighth. These districts comprise the four claimed by the Republicans. Returns from the mountains of the Tenth district, where Matt Adams, Democrat, and Jno. D. White, Republican, had a hard struggle, have not been received. It is impossible to tell the result. From the First district, advices point to the re-election of Osctr Turner. Louisville, Ky.,N0v.8.~-A special to the Courier-Journal from Paducah, says: Oscar Turner's majority in the First dis trict is between 300 and 500 over Grace, the Democratic nominee. Houston. Re publican, fell behind his party vote. Tur ner is the present Democratic represent ative, but ran indepentent. Returns from Estim county gives John D. White, Repub lican, 150 majority in that county, over Matt Adams. The latter carries Clark county by 93 majority; Culbertson, Re publican, elected in the Ninth district, be longs to the stalwart wing of that party. KANSAS. Topeka, Kas., Nov. B,—Three hundred and three wards, townships and voting pre cincts, gave Glick, Democrat, 8,500 major ity over St. John. Republican, with perhaps less than 10.000 votes in the state for Rob inson, Greenbacker. The Republican state committee do not express any hope for St. John. The county, state and congres sional tickets are elected with the usual majorities. Topeka, Nov. B.—The Republicans cou cede the election of Glick, Democrat, for governor. ) The Democrats claim he will have from 12,000 to 20,000 plurality. Junction City, Ks., Nov. B.— im mense demonstration is being indulged in by the friends of Gov. Glick. Bonfires, anvil firing, speeches and music give vent to the joy of all. IOWA. Bublington, 10., Nov. B.The latest re turns from all the counties in ' the First congressional district, make probable the election of R. J. Hall, Democrat, to con gress. De 3 Moines, Nov. B.Congressmen elect in Iowa: McCord in First, Hender son in Third, Cpdegraff in Fourth, Catts in Sixth, Easson in Seventh, Hepburn in Eighth, Holmes in Tenth, Struble in Elev enth, Republicans; Murphy, Democrat, in the Second. The Fifth and Ninth are very much in doubt. ' J Dubuque, Nov. B.—The Democrats elect three congressmen and the Greenbackers one in Iowa: Murphy in the Second dis trict, Weller in the Fourth, Fredericks in the Fifth, and Pusey in the . Ninth. Dis* patches received here confirm the news of UpdegrafFs defeat by I,ooomajority. Heu derson,Republican,in this district has from 600 to 1,000 majority. Dubuque county gives a Democratic majority ranging'; rom 3,000 to 4,000. INDIANA. Indiana, Nov."B.—Returns from In diai apolis and Marion county are still inj B~~Wrm jj* >i*n***il~lwa~fiii iiiii itie i**lii_iiihi_iw wiwiH wimiiiii complete. Full returns from three-fourths of the county, and estimated majorities from the remaining precincts give a y re publican majority on county ticket of 250. Pelle. Republican, for congress, runs ahead of his ticket, and will probobly have 500 to 800 majority. . Shelby county gives a Democratic ma jority on state ticket of 269, and English Democrat, for congress, 130 majority. The reported majority in Hancock county for English is 450. These figures would elect Plele by a small majority, but the vote is so close it will require the official count to determine the result. Full returns from Richmond city show a net Democratic gain. Three hun dred and fifty voting places in the state show a Republican loss of 4,856; Demo cratic loss, 1,660. This is 21*^' per cent of the state, and indicates a Democratic ma jority in the state of 30. EVANSTTLL**, Ind., Nov. B.— Team, crats claim Klemer, congress, Is felSGicu by 1000 to 1,400, while the Democratic ticket i? elected by 100 to 300. Madison, Ind., Nov. 8.-—The Republicans lose their state senator, but elect the rest of their county ticket by the usual majori ties. Indianapolis, Nov. B.—The Republican ' committee now claim the election of Stan ton J. Pelle, Republican, in this congres sional district by 50 majority. Hancock gives English, Democrat, 467 majority; Shelby county, English 126 majority, and Marion count***- Pelle 643 majority. The Democratic committee do not concede his election, and claim that the official vote will change the result. In Marion county the Republicans elect the clerk, auditor, treasurer, prosecuting attorney . and two judges cf the superior court. The Democrats elect sheriff, senator, five representatives, one judge of the supreme court, judge of the criminal court, jointly with Bartholomew county. Five hunred and four voting places in the state show a Republican > loss on the state ticket of Democratic loss of 2,241, being a net Democratic gain of 6,449, which would indicate a Democratic majority- in the state of over 10,000. The above returns covr 36 per cent, of the vote cast at the election of governor two years ago. If the balance •f the state yet to hear from contains the same relative decrease as compared with the vote of 1880, it will give a decrease on the Republican vote of 20,890 and on the Democratic vote of 5,200. or anaggregate vote of 26,000 less than the total vote of • 1880. Tippecanoe county elects a Repub lican representative, judge of the supreme court, clerk, sheriff and one county corn commissioner. The Democrats ele t state senator, prosecutor, treasurer, auditor, one county commissioner. Orth is defeated for congress by 300 to 500. Indianapolis, Nov. B.—Returns from 400 towns on the state ticket, which ' give •ver 25 per cent, of the state, show a Dem ocratic gain of 3,941, indicating a Demo cratic majority for the state ticket of 6,000. This ratio of increase will be in creased when the full returns are received from the larger cities. Ex-Senator McDon - aid, chairman of the Democratic central committee, claims 10,000 majority in the state. Orth, Republican, in the Ninth con gressional district, is certainly defeated. Pierce and Demott, Republicans, in the Eighth and Tenth districts, are also de feated. This will give the Democrats nine and the Republicans four congress men, a gain of four. The Democrats also claim the election of English in the Seventh (Indianapolis) district, bnt it is not conceded by the Republicans, who claim Peele's election by over 300. The Democrats will have a majority .in the house of representatives and probably in the senate. ILLINOIS. Chicago, Nov. 8,11.15 a. —Up to this hour very few additional returns have been received, and owing to universal scratch ing and slow counting, it may yet be some time before definite figures can be ob tained. It is generally conceded that Cook county has gone Republican by two or more thousand. The legislature as near as can be estimated will stand: senate, Re publicans, 37; Democrats, 14. House, Re publicans, 82; Democrats, 83; a Republi can majority on joint ballot of 30. Fol lowing is the Republican estimate on congressmen: First district, Dunham, Re publican; Second, Finerty, Independent Democrat; Third, Davis, Republican; Fourth, Adams, Republican; Fifth, Ell wood, Republican; Sixth, Hill, Republican; Seventh, Henderson, Republican; Eighth, Cullen, Republican; Ninth, Pay son, Re publican; Tenth, Lewis. Republican; Eleventh, Marsh, Republican; Twelfth, Riggs, Democrat; Thirteenth, Springer, Democrat; Fourteenth, Stevenson, Demo crat; Fifteenth, Connors, Republican; Six teenth, Shaw, Democrat; Seventeenth, Moulton, Democrat; Eeighteenth,Kueffaer. Republican; Nineteenth, Townshend, Dem ocrat; Twentieth, Thomas, Republican. Chicago, Nov. B.—Returns from this county up to 2 o'clock, indicate the election of Hanchett, Republican, for sher iff, by about 5,000, and confirm the elec tion of Dunham, Davis and Adams, Re publicans, in the First and Fourth dis tricts, and Finerty in the second. Kankakee, 111., Nov. B.—Payson, Repub lican, is elected to congress in the Ninth district. Bloomington, 111., Nov. B.—Rowell, Re publican, is elected to congress in the Fourteenth district. Chicago, Nov. 8. —Footings for Chicago and Cook county, just completed, show Democratic majority, except on sheriff, of from 1,500 to 3,000, scratching making a wide variance in the vote. On the state ticket this city and county cast 80,000 votes, and gives Orendorf, Democrat, 1,508 plurality for treasurer, and Raab, Demo crat, 2,963 plurality fqr superintendent of public instruction. On the county ticket, Hanchett, Republican, for sheriff, beats McGaugle by 4,163, and is the only Re publican county officer] elected. Seipp, Democrat, for treasurer, beats Hutt, Re publican, 2,852. Chicago, Nov. B.— Returns up to 1 o'clock indicate that the congressional delegation will be evenly divided as follows: Demo- Second, Finnerty; Eighth. Haley; Eleventh. ; Twelfth,Riggs ; Thirteenth, Springer; Sixteenth, Shaw; Seventeenth, Moulton; Eighteenth. Morrison: Nine teenth. (Townshend; Twentieth. Murphy. Republican!— First, Danham; Third. Davis; Fourth, Adams; . Fifth Ellison: Sixth, Hitt; Seventh, Henderson; Ninth. Peterson; Tenth, Lams; Thirteenth, Cannon; Fourteenth, Rowell. This shows a Republican loss of three and a Democratic gain of four. Owing to the new district the Democrats admit a doubt about Haley's election in the Eighth, and don't concede Murphy's in the Twentieth. The control of the state legislature on joint ballot is now in doubt, with the chances in favor of the Democrats. j .. Chicago, Nov. 8.-—Returns from the state are still incomplete and at this hour (11 o'clock) it is still impossible to state the result, which it is estimated, will be very close. The Republicans will have a mojority of threo to live on joint ballot in the state legislature, though - the Demo crats will probably have a majority in the house. Latest returns indicate that on congressmen the Republicans held their own, while the-Democrats have gained the additional member given under the redis ricting. These returns give the following , congressional delegation. Fifth district. Dunham, Rep.; ; Second, Finnerly, independent Dem.; Third, Davis, Rep.; Fourth, Adams, Rep.; Fifth, Ellwood, Rep.; Sixth, Hitt, Rep.; Seventh, Henderson, Rep.; Eighth, Cullen, Rep.; Ninth, Payson, Rep.; Tenth, Lewis.

B.—John J. O'Neii. Dem ocrat, elected to congress in the Eighth district of this city by a plurality of about 1,600. , The Ninth district still undecided as to the long term, but Republicans claim the election of Dr. J. H. McLean for both terms. The successful candidates on the Democratic city ticket have pluralities ranging from about 100 to 8,000, and the two Republicans elected have pluralities of 680 and 692 respectively. St. Louis, Nov. B.—A revised table of the returns in the Ninth district gives Broadhead a majority of 79 for the long term, and McLean a majority of 157 for the short term. These figures may be changed by the official vote, and give Mc- Lean the long as well as the short term. Nothing new from the Thirteenth district, which is the only other pne in the state about which there is any doubt. The Democrats claim the election of Judge Ryan over. Col. Cloud, Republican, and Hazelton, Greenbacker. This claim is not very strongly combated. St. Louis, Nov. —A special from thor oughly well posted men at Springfield M0.,t0 the Associated Press correspondent here, says the Thirteenth district has cer tainly gone Democratic, and that Judge Tyon, Democrat, will have fully 500 ma jority. This will, give Missouri a solid Democratic delegation in congress unless the official vote should show that Broad head is defeated in the Ninth district of this city, which is not very likely. . A dispatch from St. Joseph says full re turns from all the counties in the Fourth congressional district give Col. Jas. N. Burns, Democrat, 300 majority. MISSISSIPPI. Jackson, Miss., Nov. B.—Barksdale, Mul drow, Singleton and Money are elected In the Second district Chalmers and Man ning are claimed by the parties with indi cations favorable to Chalmers. In the Sixth district Van Eaton and Lynch are doubtful. In the Shoestring district Jef fords, Republican, elected. Yicksburg, Miss., Nov. —Manning's election to congress in the Second district is claimed by over 400 majority. MICHIGAN. Detroit, Mich., Nov. Returns up to noon from this state are meager, and do not materially alter the situation. The Second district is claimed by the Demo crats by 500 majority, but not conceded. Still appearances at present favor the Democrats. In the Fifth district a Demo crat is elected beyond a reasonable doubt. The remaining eight districts are prob ably Republican, although two or three •tie close. No doubt. Governor Jerome is defeated, but the rest of the Republican state ticket is elected. East Saginaw, Mich., Nov. B.Saginaw county, witn four small towns to hear from, give Bezole 375 majority, and Willett for congress 175 majority over Horr. Horr's majority in the district will reach 750. The Republicans elect a state senator in this county and three of the four members of the lower house. Detboit, Mich., Nov. The fuller re turns to-day do not change the result on the state ticket. The Republicans lose their governor by 8,000 or 10,000, and carry the rest of the state ticket by equal or a large majority. The legislature is Repub lican on joint ballot beyond doubt. In congressmen there are extraordinary changes. The Democrats, from present appearances, will carry Mayburygin the First district, Eldridge in the Second, Yaple in the Fourth, Houseman in the Fifth, Winans in the Sixth and Carleton in the 7 th. The Repbblicans will have the remainder unless the Ninth joines the stampede, from which there are no suf ficent detailed returns. This gives a ma jority of the delegation to the Democrats. Official returns may change the result in the Sixth and Seventh districts. MASSACHUSETTS Boston. Nov. B.Returns from all but four towns give Butler 13,000 majority over Bishop.
