The Latest Eloction Nows NEW YORK, Novembor 2.-Tho outlook is that Hancock will not corry a single North ern Stato. Now York will givo Garfield not loss than 20,000, and possibly 35,000. Maino has fallon into regular lino, nnd Now England increases her Republican majorities evorywhoro. Thoro is still doubt of Now Jorsoy localities chowing Democratic gains and losses in moat orratio mannor. A tnblo of resulto in Congressional districts shows un doubted Republican gains, but to what ex tout cannot bo estimated further than to say that tho Houso will bo Republican in all probability. It was oxpoctcd that many Congressional gains would be mado in tho South and muoh money was sont thoro to influence the result. Tho result exciten linio eur prise hero, na it bas boon known for se ve rni weeks that tba Democrats bad not oven a fighting chanco. Tho city is ablaze with Republican jubiliations. INDIANAPOLIS, November 2.-Great surprise is manifested hero to night aa tho returns of thc elootion are rcooivod in thia oily and Stato. Tho Domooraoy had hoped for success againat tho intimidation of working mon nnd innumerable repeaters who woro distributed throughout tho States. Tho bulldozing of tho honest toilers was more successful, however, and capitalists had tho pleasure of seeing their omploycca votod Uko cattle, despite their political convic tions. Tho volo of tho Slate will not vary 1,000 ] on (he voto in October, though Mr. English will I not concede it lo tho Republicans, and has I hoped that tho largo Doniooratto counties may surrender tho State onee moro to tho Democrat io parly A close estimate on returns from 827 precincts gives Garfield a gain over Polor of seven votes. CINCINNATI, NOV. 2.-Tho oampcign whioh closed to-night has hoon a norina of surprises, bringing nltornato hopes and fears to oaoh party. Tim result in Maine was a thunder bolt to tho Republicans. Tho Western elec tions stunned tho Domoorats, and as I writo at midnight it would boom that tho sentiment and principles that created tho tidal wavo of a fortnight ago has no doubt s welled through ovory Northern Stato to tho Pacific ocean. It is yet too early to givo moro than woll bused estimates of tho results in Northern States. Thore is, however, no reason to doubt that Garfiold has carried ovory pivotal Stato by surprisingly largo majorities. Nothing dofi nito ut this hour is heard from tho Pucitic slope, but tho Republicans claim tho trio ol States with tho sumo confidence they have shown in Now England. S. W. Dorsey, secretary of tho Republican National Committee, gives tho following es timulo of tho general resell. In viow of tho fact that tho Now York .Sur concedes Now York to Garfield, that bott Ilondrioks and English abandon tho contes in Indiana, and aro so telegraphing theil friends, Mr. Dorsey's figures aro evidently correct : Tho Democratic majority in Now York cit; is about 35,000, Brooklyn 10,000, with a poa siblo 5,000 in Long island and Staten Island Four years ago Tildcu crossed tho Harlen river from these points with 72,000 majority Garfield's majority in tho Stato will read 40,000. Massachusetts increases its majority u four yours ago to sixty thousand. Tho lato fusion in Maine is reversed to Republican gain of two thousand and liv hundred. New Jcrsoy ia doubtful and has probabl gone Democratic by a greatly ieduced vote. Connecticut is Republican by two thous.in and live hundred to four thousand. Pennsylvania gives Garfield forty thousani Ohio thirty thousand to forty thousand, un Indiana about seven thousand. Tho .Republican majority in Humillo County, Ohio (Cincinnati,) has moro tba doubled since tho October cleoiion. Latest advices indicate a loss of four Rc publican Congressmen in Now Yoik, ami gain of one in Boston, Leopold Morse, tli wealthy clothier, being defeated. Tho lOi Kentuoky Congressional District is carried t Tliomns, Republican, over Phlstow, tho si ting member. Delawaro und Florida ai also claimed by tho Republicans, but wil what show of reason il is yet too carly learn. Philadelphia despatches report a riut < Broad strcot at thc Amcrious club, but i particulars cnn bo givon. Tho election this city passed off quiotly. Thero wero fe arrests for illegal voting and no charges 'fraud on either side Tho principal M roc on which tho newspaper offices and cb rooms aro located aro fairly jammed wi swinging, ocothing crowds of e toiled tn cheering and yelling wildly for their respe live candidates. No troublo, however, apprehended by tho police, und sober, e-c siblo peoplo arc giud that tho long dim agony is over at last. Three Slate tickets in Tennessee-Republic and two Democrat io. Election very close. There is a probability that the De moor have carried Oregon. Georgia goes Democralio by a reduced II jorily. Dr. Felton, Independent, is proba defeated for Congreso. At Johnson's, in South Carolina, a rio! i curred between the whites and blacks. 'I latter tried lo seize tho ballot box. One nc| was killed and three wounded. A telegram I been received hero from Aiken, Som li Carob stating that thc negroes havo threatened in bi I lint town to night and asking for ossislat Thc election hero was very quiet. There \ no disturbance whatever. Tho negro volo is largest in len years, and they voted tho Kepi Hean ticket solidly. Thc State has gone Democratic, if thc rein received indicate anything. Oconcc Dcinocn majority 1,700; Piokens, I, '200; Grconvl 2,800; Spartanburg, 3,000; Anderson, 8,0 Abbeville, '1,000; Edgefield, 8,600; Lauri 1,500; Hampton, 1,400. These returns approximations, but probably correct. ANDEItSON COUNTY. Tho election in this county passed off qui iy and without troublo. A difficulty occur at Bolton, which was brought on by tho grcssivoncss of ibo negroes who congrega thoro, and when tho volo of a negro repot was challenged it prcoipitcd a conflict, wb resulted io sovoral pistol shots and tho si i wounding of a whito man.

DENVER, COL., Ootobor 31.-Denvor has boen in tho hands of a mob for eight hours, and now fully 1.500 rioters aro in tho street. It was discovered a week ago that fully eight thousand illegal names were registered in tho city, and immediately thereafter tho streets filled with strangers of tho worst oharaotor. Saturday night tho Democrats had a procession carrying transparencies, with inscriptions and cartoons, 'tending to excito animosity against thc Chinese A considerable portion of tho processionists bo* carno intoxicated und remained nil night. At noun, thoy made an assault opon tho Chinese houses, touring duwil tho houses aud boating and drugging out tho Chin?se. Ono was dragged (rom Mop Leo's placo willi a ropo about bis nock, and bis skull crushed in with boots and brick bats. Tho polioo woro culled out but woro unable to control tho mob Tho Fire Department thou was ordorcd to throw water on tho rioters; but tho mob attacked them and badly wounded two firemen. Many Chinamen woro beaten. Ono was rescued by tho polico and tnkon to jail, whioh was im mediately surrounded by a mob ol about 1,000, who hurrahed and yelled "lynch tho lepor." Tho special polico managed to keep bock tho crowd. Tho other mob remained intact in tho lowor part of tho oily. About dark thoy wcro in onliro control and march' cd;from street tnstrcot, gutting Chincso houses whoresoovcr thoy Saw them, mid assaulting citizens. Many colored men wcro knocked down and beaten. Special polico have beon sworn in to the number nf 300. Tho Chinese population boro cannot exceed 1,500, all told, and from tho beginning of this disgraceful riot not n single incident is reported of tiny of thom having resisted tho onslaught. Later-At this timo, 11.30, everything is quiet, tho mob having disporsod, but a lingo polico forco is patrolling tho streets, mid mili iu is ready for action at ii minute's no tice All tho saloons are closed with tudors to remain so until nftor tho election. Tho rioters gutted every Chinese houso in town with two or thrco exceptions. One Chilla*' man was banged over his front door, and several wore badly beaton and wounded with slonos and other missies. In nearly every itiMunoo ibo polico rescued 1 ho Cinnamon through the buck door, while tho mob were forcing the front door open. Four ur live rioters were slightly wounded, and one seri ously, bc having been shot in tho right side Tho active rcspnnso ol citizens to tho call of tho authorities effectually checked tho mob und by midnight u very perceptible improve ment wits developed, which has steadily continued. Karly HIM morning II squad of miscreants raised a disturbance near the postnflico, but within ten minutes it was esti mated that 1,000 citizens, nearly all armed, were on the ground mid all thc rioters at thut point were arrested mid sent to jail. Soicral hundred warrants hnvo benn sworn ont by officers, and botwoen 200 and 300 arrests hnvo been niado. Thc city is now consider ed ubsolucly secure against any revival nf mob rule, und tho indignation muong nil c'assos is intense nnd curnost. Judge Kershaw on tho "Code.'' In bis icccnt charge to tho Grund Jury of Spar tan bu lg Omi nt y, J udgo Kershaw spoke in reprobation of thc practice of duelling in ibis State, and suggested ns a mensuro for the protection of society tho enactment of ibo following btw by tho Legi-Iaturo at its next tes-ion; "That, in addition to thc oath of office now requited, each officer, beforo ho enters upon thc duties of his o dicer, shall take and subscribe un oath, that since thc rat iii cation of this Act bc has not done any act which would disqualify him from hold i nu idlioc, under the provisions of Article 1, Sec tion 82, i.f thc Constitution o? this State, and (hut ho will enforce tho laws against duelling, tn thc best of his ability, in every instance of their violation w hich may conic to his knowledge, nnd oniploy nil legal meas ures in his power to prevent such oflbneos." Tho Judge goes on to say: "If tho duel ip to be tolerated nt nil, it is duo to our peuple that it should bc openly legalized und regu lated under I lie law, mid tho Codo of II.mar, so called, in some form spread upon tho statUtO book? * * * If tho dael were thus sanctioned by the law, mid this form ol homicide legalized, we would at least com prehend iho necessity of training our sons from infancy to the skilful uso of tho pistol, reverse our ethical systom, and omit from thc Lord's prayer so much ns doth teach us tu dil tho deeds nf "mercy." This is a capitol redite/io ad absurdum. Tho turco of Judge Koishaw's words, however, is weakened, il not destroyed, by ibo following sentences in his charge: "So fur ns concerns past oflbneos of this nnturo. while courts and juries must perform their full duty and vindicate tho violated majesty of thc law, offenders may well plead at tho bar af Kxccutive and judicial clemency that they were tempted to tho wrong by thc criminal blindness of thc officers uf tin law, mid thc silence of tho voico of tho peu ple" Thc trouble is thnt J nd go Kershaw, lik< a great many other good peoplo, whilo hon cally anxious to put a stop to duelling, is un willing tn make a beginning in earnest.

They hnvo not forgotten tho excuse made for tho Society when it failed at th first opportunity to carry out tho pledges, no tho fact that thc Judge (for good reasons, i may bo.) resigned tho Picsidoncy when thor was real work to bo done Tho rccullcctioi of these things is not calculated to add fore to Judgo Kershaw'* ohargo in Spartanburg If tho crimn of duelling is to bu snppresHci in ibo South, it must bo resolutely tracka j and sternly punished just like any other vul ! gar crime One duellost in a striped sui will do moro to cheek this species of murdo than all tho lino phrase, of judges und mor alists.- Charles/on News and Courier.
