The State Ticket, Mkrr. -Wilkes whov was appohllted referee in the matter of the election of Stato officers has presented a voluminons report, showing a large unmber f tochnical irregularities in different portions of the State. These consist chiefly of clorical orrors by tio clerks of the boards such as accrtliting votos to Conner anmd Ell iott respectively as Comp. troller- General when teiy were voted for as Attorney-Grenoral.

But Judge Carpenter's decision, whatever it may be, wiill be deprived of much moral forco by his conduct in posting off to Washinton. The National Capitol at this time is ro garded justly as the worst place in the United States in which to learn lawv, pure and simple. It is the headquarters of the Mortons and Chandlers, and other poliiiical .bandits; whose reputations, if they 'had any, for dccency and probity, areo'nowv olouded 'with suspicions of conspiracy against the will of the American people. Judge Cai~pontor will find it extremely difficult to -im'. pres the public with 'the belief that his visit to Washington will aid him in preparing a sound, unpolitical .legal decision. Hie .has .made a gra~ve mistake. WVashington was the last p~lace in the United States .he0 should have visited at this time. The plea that the best 'law labrarios are to:be founid there will not avail. New York or Boston or Philadol phia could have aforded an -ognal amount of legal lore, and the mind of.. a jurist seeking iformation would be more at rest .in any of theoc cities than in Washington duri. ing the heated sessions of Congress over tihe electoral bill.

Among the latter woro Proctor Knott, Jones and Blackburn, of Kentucky, Milos, of Tomas,:Singleton, of Mississippi, Williams, of Alabama, and Simith, of Georgia.

The Recent Senatorial Elections. Senat r Frelinghuysen has failed I to securoi a re-election. The New Jersey Legislature has elected SM.-Pherso-, Democra t, by a iajori y of one on joint ballot.

Senator Logan (of Illinois, wvhc after the defeat of Zatch Chandlei sharecd with Mortoni thme chief hlonorE (as a mallignan t aind partisan, hat been compelled to retire from the Smnator ial c'ontiest in Illinois. Hic was a pet of G4raub, but the peop)k were tired of him, Hie now views the poli tie-d situation from a back seat. IJudge David D)avis was eleted tc succeed Logan, receiving 101 votes to 90 east for his opponients. Eleven Re'publicanis are said to hmavc voted with the Denmocrats for him. Juduge Davis was born in Marryland1 ini 1815, and moved to Illinois ini 1834. H~e serv'ed one term in the Legislauturo, declined a re-election, was elected a mnemuber of the State -C-)mstituitional Convention of 1847, and became circuit jud~ge a year latcr. In 1862 Lincoln appointed him associato justico of the Supromc Court. In 1872 ho was mentioned -as the Liberal Republican nlomince for the Presidency, but Illinois itself being divided upon him, ii name was not pressed. WVhile being non-partisan, his sympathies 3incline to the Democrats. Judge Davis has not yet signified his ac ceptance, but it is thought he w;ilP. Ho is fivo f~eot eleven inches in height and weighs 375 pounds, has Sja b)read forehoadi, blue piercing eyes and a p~rominient nose, and posse3sses -great wealth. Senator Hlitchcockc of Nebraska has also come to grief. Ho was a partisan Rlepublican aind the people did not aippreciate his services in that role. Mr..Saunders who suc ceeds him, while a Republica'n, is a bank ircsident and an acetive busin ness mnan, and is expected to ~e .more liberal in his views. In Weost Virginia, TH. 4.. Davis has been -chosen Senator for the kog term and Fi. Sherwood for tihe vacancy caused by the dleath -of Caperton. Bdth are Democrats. Tihe severe *struggle i tile Georgia Legislature has terminated in the election of B. H. Hill. On the first ballot Senator Norwood missed a re-.electjin by only a few voten. But the Hill men wm.red i e b a err, and gralilly gained streng th. 'x Govorncr Prown ron deredI them unexpected- ad. On Thursday the final ballot was held, at the close of which the voto stocd, Norwood 8F, Hill, 8'), E: -G,ve: n, r Smith 26, Ex-Gove; nor JolHson 9, Dawson Wa'ker (R.publican) 4. Before the result was announced Senator Cody roso and changed Lis voto from Smith to Hill. Others followed i, quick succession. The four colored members changed from Walker to Hill amuid gioat applause, and then a tampedo ensued. Amid great confusion the result was an nounced. Hill had recoiod 116 votos, Norwood 85, Souttering 11. The-conidors were crowded with partisais of Hil', and t e ar nouncemcnt was received with the wildest yells. Grown men fell into e Lch othe. 's arms and wept, hats were tossed about recklessly, ard shout after shont rent the atir. This was followed by a rush to the tele graph ofice, and several hun11dred dispAtches were cent in all direc tions, at least a hundred going to Hill. Tho fo*lowing arc - speci inus: "Georgia is safe. Ben Hill is Senatori.' "The people beat the politicians once mnor1e, and the South gives a-uother Henry Clay to the lepuL "To Jim Baine: Bounce out of the back window of the Senate. Ben Hill is nolring in the front do()r." "This victory is : a gre.t as Til don's inauguvattion would be." "The o!ccten of yourself to the Sen:.to seals the doom of Radi. c.Ilisim." "The Legislaturo may now ad jouin. It las i0inmixortaulized itself." "The Ninth rDistrict, whilo re gret,ting her loss, is proud thati she contributt(s the I, ad ng chan 1i n v constitutional liberty." To J. G. Blaine: "Ro1 iufflian, rotfre." To B. H. Mill: "Oh, tell it to 'Gath'-and whisper it mi the streets of Askalon." "The conspirators are foiled. The people have Spoken." It is claimed that the election of Hill was a triumph 'f the poople >ver the le'atdrs. Mr. Hill has acl'ied nl honorable iPplnt inn by his past conduct. It is to be hoped that I e will gather fresh laurels alongside of Lamar and the other new Senators. These elections show that the tidal wave which overwhehned Car penter and Chandler and cther worthies two years ago has not yet 3xpenitd its force. If the presentl mxovt ment continue the Senate wil: soon become a resp~ectable body. Orant's Bayonet Government,.

The .Louisiana Muddle. The Washingtou correspondent of the Now Y ilerald, writing January 22d s : "It is not bb ieved that the papers of the Louisiana Returning Board will throw much light on the secret proceedings of the Board on manipulatinig the vote.

The joint committee of the Ohio Senate and House appointed to in vestigate the cause of the rec nt railroad disaster at Ashtabu~a, be gn its session in Cohimbus on the 23d inst. Several witnesses wei e exumined, among themi Mr. WVil liams, an Assistant Roadmaster of the road, whlo gave it as I is opinion that the disaster was caused by the terrific gale of wind prevailing at the time. In support of his theory be produced a report from the signal service, showving that at the time of the accident a gale was blow ing at a velocity of 300 miles an hour, when the train went on the bridge. Winnd struck the whole sur~face of the cars at a force esti mnited at five pounds to the square foot, which broke some of the bolts, and the terrible craish followed. It is said that several members of the committee are inclined to accept this new theory as the true one. SOUTH CAnoIn.-It has been pub lished that information from the Senate South Carolina committee was to the effect that they would report that Chamberlain had been o'ected by a very large majority. There is no doubt that the Senate committee will make such a report, anid the value of it may be measured when it is known that during the whole progress of its investigation the Senate committee has taken no testimony. at all bearing on the election. -Its whole time has been occupied in hunting up and ex amining witnesses in reference to the Ellenton and Hamburg affairs. It is learned that without doubt the House South Carolina commit tee Will be unanimons in the opinioti that the Hayes and Wheeler electors received a 'majority of votes. In this case the H[-ouse will of conrse accept the ophiion of its committee, and this will .remove the South Carolina electoral vote from the domain of dispute, leaving only to be considlered the votes of Florida md Louisiana anad the one vote of Oregon.
