THE ELECTIONS.

Thirty-one states—all except Maine, Ohio, Indiana, lowa, Colorado, California and Oregon— held elections day before yesterday. Of course the returns from these elections are in* complete, but enough is known to announce the triumph of the republicans In all of the northern states, where they had the least prospect of success. In New Hampshire they electali three of the representatives in congress, being a gain of one member, and carry their state ticket. Massachusetts repudiates Butler and repudiation by 25,000 to 30,000 majority; besides their candidate for governor and their entire state ticket the republicans gain one representative in congress. In Connecticut the republicans obtain control of the legislature by a majority of 30 to 35 on joint ballot, which insures them a United States senator to succeed W. H. Barnum of Indianapolis mule notoriety, and also gives them the governor as there was no election by the people. New York comes out square-footed against the corrupt reform of Tilden, steja on cipher statesmanship, elects the republican state ticket, has a large republican majority in the assembly I which insures the return of Senator ■ Conkling to the United States senate, increases by four or live the republi- j can delegation in congress, and gives ' the Tammany influence a total route. ■ Even New York city elects an antiTammany mayor and increases the-anti-democratic delegation in congress. A gain of two republican congressmen is made in Rhode Island. A gain of one, if not two, congressional representatives was made In New Jersey. Pennsylvania is republican by 15,000 to 20,000 majority, has a republican legislature and preserves the congressional delegation as at present. Michigan reports a large greenback vote, but the republicans claim to have carried the state and possibly may have gained a congressional delegate. Illinois elects the republican state ticket by 10,000 to 15.000 majority, gains one, possibly two, republican members in congress and hopes to have a legislature that will choose a republican successor to "Senator Oglesby—but it is close. Chicago and Cook county gave a round republican majority, electing the entire republican county ticket. Wisconsin gains one or two republican members in congress. Minnesota Is republican. The southern states are democratic of course.

At a meeting of the board of directors of the Indianapolis, Delphi A Chicago railroad company, held at Monticello Tuesday, Alfred McCoy, of Renwelaer, waa eleoted president of the company by a unanimous vote, Dr. Angell, of Pittaburg, vice president, and Dr. Bushnell, of Mouticello. secretary. Mr. Lee, ex-president of the company, Is in town to-day. He feels very sore over tbe action of the board of directors, which he claims fe irregular and void. He also olaims to still be the president of the company dty'ure el dtfacto. From the attitude thus presented it lo< ks as if there may possibly be a little Interesting litigation brewing among the magnates; and furthermore as though the road was a valuable Investment. It does not make any difference •whatever what the natno of the party is which advocatesgold aa the basis -of currency—that is the truo doctrine, anylfow.

The Indianapolis Sentinel has a guess at how Indian* te to be divided into congressional districts by the impending legislature. It guesses that Lake, Porter, Starke. Pulaski, Jasper, Newton, Benton, White, Tippecanoe and W>rren may be grouped together as the tenth district. The number of voters in this group of counties, a» ascertained by the enumeration of 1877, is 35,699. The vote of the group at the last October election for secretary of state was, republican 14,218, democratic 11,207, national 4,667, and 2,600 not accounted- (br. -- - ’ i ' Commenting on the meeting October 19th and organisation of the Chicago, Rensselaer A Brazil railroad company, the Kentland Gazette aaya ••the people of Jasper go into the movement as though they mean busttiasua if O*' ortnapa tVinn rtlAflrt I ■ IVvtvlDv VLIL.
