The Result of the Election*
The best resume of the elections bfld
last Tuesdar we find in the Richmond
Times, of. Wednesday. It will give our
readers a pretty good, Idea, not only oftho
result, but of the effects on the present
j political condition of the country :
j "Twelve Slates, on yesterday, passed
judgment upon the issue which has bssn
raised between the President and Congress.
New York, New Jersey, Delawaro,
Maryland, Missouri, Michigan, Minnesota,
Wisconsin, Illinois, Kansas, Massachusetts
and Nevada make up the dozen. Of
these States, Maryland and Missouri
deeply and nobly sympathize wjth the
South, but the voice of their best citizens
has heretofore been stifled by registry
I laws, which were enforced during the war
by Federal bayonets, and are now bus*
tained bj the most brazen and atrocious*
outrages and frauds. Ol ibis sort of lawi
lesness, we have just had a precious specimen
in Baltimore, anil doubtless in
many parts of Missouri there was enough
of it on yesterday. In all the rest of tba
twelve States which voted on yesterday,
radicalism has been running riot for many
months, except in New York, New Jersey
and Delaware, and in the Empire Slate,
the great city ol New York of late haa
opposed a brave but invariably unsuccessful
resistance to the radical'agriculturfkl
districts, where the 'soul of old John
llrown' seems to be always'marching on.*
With these exceptions, Massachusetts is
the type of all the rest, and that Stats.
although perpetually boasting of her raori
alitv, piety and intelligence, yesterday
doubt Iras elected a notorious thief and
disgraced cowarJ to Congress, because pf
his hostility to the Southern people.
'Except slight gains, which were sntit
cipatcd in New York and New Jersey, 110
one expected anything hut defeat and
continued reverses to the conservative
party in the electione on yesterday. The
loss of a member of Congress here, or
gain there, will in no respect control or
change the complexion of the next Con*
gress. Of tha ninety one members 0/
Cougress who were elected on yesterday,
we think it probable that at leaet sevetl*
ty five were Republicans. In the seven

weeks ago, sixty Republicans were electe^
and twelve conservatives. Of the present
Congress of one hundred and ninety three
members, one hundred and fifty are Re*
publicans, and forty three are Democrats
or conservativea. We think the proba*
bilities are all in favor of the strength el
the Republicans being just as great in the
nevl Congress as it is in this. They wity
probably have a surplus of at least twem

At Hanwell, England, recently,a young
' lady was put into a train alone to go to
Loodon. As the train was on the poinf
of starling a gentleman rushed up and
got in. Shortly after the train had started,
the gentleman jumped up and ex<

must be lightened," and straightway bis
.earpet bag disappeared out of the win

he begins again, and this lime hit coa^

After a little while he said, "Let 09

obey. Whee that was done they prayed
for the Duke of York, and then for an1
other?in fact, through a whole sthnff of
