UeraUL Elections for members of Congress, mem bers of Ktate Legislatures, Stato anil couaty oflicors, etc.. came off in eighteen States yos terdny, viz.: Alabama, Delaware, 1'lorLLi, Illi nois, Kansas, Kcutncky, Miijlauel, Massa chusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Yoik, Now Jersey, Novaela, llholo Island, Tennessee, Virginia, Wisconsin. Al together thcHO elections cmforuco one hundred und twenty-six members of tho next Iloaso of llepresentuliveB. They will, therefore-, with the elections which have taken tl ice in Sep tember and October, be voiy apt to determine- substantially tho political complexion of the popular branch of tho next Congress, which succeeds the present Congress ou tho fourth of March next. What, then, tiro tho results of yesterday's flections in reference to tho next Congress? In the pres'ent House the Republicans have a full two-thirds majority. Iu thu elections for the next House, ho far, they have lost niuo members. In US' 18 the all-absorbing excite ments of tho Presidential contest brought out in all tho State elections a very fall vote, upon which the Republicans always gain; but tlm year tho nilo has been a short popular vote, upon which the Democrats always gain; and as a short vote was the general rule in yester day's elections the Democrats havo doubtless made fiomo further gains in Congressmen to crow over. It is also probable, however, that they will have some losses to deplore on account of the first introduction in several States of tho now eloiuent under tho fifteenth fcmendiiif-ut, known us the colored vole. Now York, in the lower house of tho pro sent Congress, is represented by nineteen Republicans and twelve Democrats. Wo suspect that yesterday tho Democrats in this State gained two or three members, and un less the rural districts have polled a pretty full vote they may gain four or live. In New Jersey, however, where tho State is closely divided and sharply contested, appa rently, the new colored clement may turn the scalo, and give the Republicans tho gain of one or two Congressmen. Tha sauio may bo said of Delaware, where the black voters are believed to hold the balance of power, and of Maryland, where thirty-live thousand blacks havo been registered for the election. The conservatives, however, expect to giia a member or two in Alabama, where tho blacks number fifty-live per cent, of the voting popu lation, and in Tennessee the Republicans, from tho extension of tho franchise to tho whites disfranchised in lMi8, and from fac tious divisions, are in a pretty fair way to lose the whole delegation of tight members, which they hold unbroken iu the present House. On tho other hand, again, the Re publicans may gain a member or two in Ken tucky from tho acquisition of the black element, which is supposed to be equal to forty thousand voters in tho State, against a Democratic white majority of from fifty to sixty thourand. Ii'x Missouri, where the Republican party La3 been split up between two factions and two tickets, they will, we think, lose two or three Congressmen, and may loso four or live. They will bo doing very well to hold their own in Illinois, and very well if they escape without a break in their delegation from Michigan. Prom present indications the Congtefibioual results iu tho re3t of the eighteen States which elected their menibors yesterday v ill show no material changes. Tho most enthusiastic Democrats do not expect much Congressional assistance from such strong Republican States as Massachusetts, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. Looking over the whole held and ruing the Dooio crats the full benefit of possibilities, from present appearances they cannot reduce the Republican majority iu the next House of Representatives below twenty, and in tha chapter of chances tho dominant party may btill hold a majority of thirty, thhty-five, or forty in a J till nonse. Hut the two-thirds vote, which tho Repub licnns, so fortunately for their policy, held in the House, as well as ia tho Senate, during the whole term of Andy Johnson's bollicose administration, will bo so far gone in the next House that the President's veto will be effective in tho new Congress against moa snres which he does not approve, lie will, with his veto, in the next Congress be more decisively than in tins master of the situa tion, and may shape the measures of Con greps to meet his own views of the domestic und foreign policy of the t overnment best adapted to the circumstances and the pub'd opinion of the day. We think tho country, the administration pnd lue Republican party itself may lu congratulated upon this restora tion of the President to his proper position as a constitutional check upon thoextruvagances and loose legislation of Congress. It may be said that but for the twe)-thirds vote which the Republicans held in Congress during all the intractable and dangerous administration of JohnEon, tho lato Rebel States would to this day havo remained in a state of chaos, and the agitation for negro anil' rage would bull have been tne ruling question iu all our political elections, and that political confu bion and financial embarrassment would have prevailed throughout the land, with no belter lookout than a general collapse, bankruptcy, and repudiation. Had the veto under Johnson been effective we might, perhaps, have Lad some such astrous consequences as these; but, on die the other band, we have soen in tha stupaud jus Congressional lobby jobs of tho last four or five years that there is no limit to the rapa cious legislation of an unbridled Congress with the temptations before it, for instance, of great Fpeculative railway c jmbinations. Henceforth, with the check of the President's veto upon such loose and reckless lobby Bchenie-8, we may confidently look alsj for better things. We may Ijok also for better things in the financial measures of the next Congress, with its reduced Republican majority, than we have had from the present Congress, with its overshadowing majority. We expeot that the Presidents annual message will again foreshadow, as in times gone by, the general legislative policy of Congress, and that the two houses will cease to consider him the mere servant ap pointed to sign bills aud obey their com mands. We expect that General Grant, with the power in Lis bands to bring the two houses to terms, will, on great questions, exeroi it, and that he will not much longer yield t o Congress the unrestricted control over bis measures concerning our foreign or domestic affairs. Yesterday's election in eighteen States has assuredly confirmed the President in the power of bis constitutional check upon Congress the veto. There is no apparent chance of a change in the dominant party in the next House of Representatives, which would be better than a reduced Republican majority for the next President; ..but with tho veto made effective once more "he will be abun dantly able to shape the legislation of Con gress and the course of the Republican party as be may think best for the country and the grand campaign of 1872. THE TROSPECTS OF CUBA. From the X. F. St in. The prospects of the independence of Cuba ore improving iu the island itself, in Spain, and in this country. In Cuba the patriots havo opened tho cam- paiim by assuming the offensive in the East ern, the Central, aud tho Westorn Depart ments, and tho men thero who a year ago deridod the idea that the revolution would succeed, bavo now made up their minds that Snuin can never suppress it. In tho Eastern Department, Yaluiaseda, tho invincible, is shut up in Santiago de Cuba, and tho bush ranrers, as the Spaniards call tho Cubans, are at the very cites of that city. In tho Central district, reinforcements to the Spa nish forces have indeed been received, but they are of such a nature as to bo unsuitable oven for garrison duty; consequently they are utterly useless for operations in the hold. l'embeta is snid to have gained an important victory in the Villas district, and although details of it are wanting, enough may be inferred from tho confession which tho Spa niards lniike of the loss of threo ouicers killed and several wounded. General Quesada is said to have landed in the Western Department, and this is partly confirmed by a requisition made by tho ad ministrator of tho embargoed estate of tho Messrs. Mora, La Australia, for seven hun dred men to attend it. it is stated mat a forco of over twelve hundred armod patriots, with four pieces of artillery, was in tho im mediate neighborhood; but by whom this force was commanded is not positively known. It is probably in chargo of Colonel Inclan, and comprises the forces of Jesus del Sol and Colonel Lopez Queralta. La Aus tralia is close to the dividing lino between tho Central and Western Departments, and distant about ISO miles from Havana. In the seaports of the island occupied by tho Spaniards much dissension exists, at tributable partly to difference of opinion among them as to how tho war should have been carried on, partly to mutual elistrust of each other as to what Boluuon ot the prosent dilemma each would accept, aud partly to the certainty that Spain, disgusted with the oppo sition vhich the Spaniards in Cuba ha ire shown to her authority, is at the presont mo ment using every endeavor to sell the island to the Cubans. In Spain tho proppects of Cuba are nono tho less llattering; for to-day every membor of the Cortes is convinced of tho impolicy and impossibility of holding the island any longer. Tho idea so bombastically paraded in the Spanish press two years ago that "the sale of Cuba would be the sale of the honor of Spain," has given way to an ardent desire, equally indulged in by the treaty brokers in Madrid ar.d Washington, to lind a purchaser. Spain has, howover, lost her market. Cuba is valueless except to Cubans, and the United States will not buy the island. All the rings and dirty intrigues for purchasing Cuba will fail. Neither General Prim nor Bancroft Davis, the bribo taker, will make any money out of it. Sidney Webster has returnod from Madiid without accomplishing anything; and Nicholas Ascarate may as well be recalled. Cuba will win her independence, like her South American sisters, without purchase, and, unlike ourselves, without help from abroad. In this country Cuba s prospects are im proving, because the American people aro befcinLinc to see how their honor and their interests have for two years been sacrificed by the men whom they mistakenly placod in power. They aro determined, through their representatives ye-fcterday clestel, to force the Administration to cease its courso of de grading submission to Spain, aud to render junico to tho Cubans. DON QUIXOTE FOR CONGRESS. F rem the X. Y. World. We mny not entirely agree with our worthy Mayor that Mr. Greeley is ineligible for Con gress on account of total mental derange ment. Rut we can have no hesitation in be lieving that when he is astride his famous monopoly hobby tho poor gentleman is as crnzv as Don Quixote. Mr. Greeley bestrode his favorite Rosinante at tho Amerioan In siitute and delivered himself of the following titbit: "I U 11 you tiiero Is ro class among us to-day so well nroteettU liv the larlfl'as Uie poor seamstress ia the garret.

' Here is the preseut duty on crockery: I'oicelaln and Parian ware, not ornamonted, 45 pe r cent. ; porcelain anu ranan ware, ornamented, ou per ccw. This duty of 4 and ."0 per cent, is not con sidered enougn protection. We would sen. ously advise the electors of the Sixth district to lay in a full Bnpply of crockery before they send the tariff-crazy Mr. Greoley to represeut them in Coagress. ROYAL MARRIAGES. Frci the Pall Mall Gazette. The prima facie aspects of the proposed marriage of Lord Lome with the Princess Louise seem to have been at last exhausted by the London press. The Morning Pout has explained to us that the Queen has now bo many grandchildren as tojmake it very un likely that any Duke of Argyll will ascend the liritibh throne, and tyrannize or jr us as Mac- donalds and Camerons were tyrannized over by many an older MacCallum More. This re vives that queer jargon which Lord Palmer- ston was so fond of employing on similar oc casions, and which seemed to proceed ou tho assumption that the great danger impending over our country was tne failure of the dynasty, and the consequent necessity of looking out for a descendants of the Stuarts who was willing to abjure Popery. The Time lias correctly told us that marriages of Princesses with subjects were once known in England, but havo of late come to 'oa un common, and has still more recently assured its readers in somewhat mysterious language that her Majesty bad a great problom to solve, and bus solved it satisfactorily. Finally, we should have said that tho demonstrations of effusive affection in which the IhtiU Tdc graph takes the lead had been all that could be wished in number and warmth, if th?y had not been transcended in the latter quality by tne extraordinnry nuptial oration wnicn mt. ernon liarcoui t appears to have addressed to tho electors of Oxford. Wo have no wish to follow up these views of the subject. Nothing but good can bo asserted or predicted of the pro posed marringe. and of the Queen's conduct; in tho matter all mat can be said wit'iout im pertinence is that she probably acted on a balanco of motives such as constantly in fluence ladies of lower position. It is ituprn- siblo that her Majesty should not shots tho prejudices of her immediate predecessors in favor of tho mornogo of princes and prin cesses with persons belonging to bouses con ventionally regarded as sovereign. Tho Hanover kings of Great J ruain had more of this feeling than tho older English dynasties, for two roosons first, the theory of tho Divino light of kings hadbeen gaining ground for a century before they ascended tho Rritish Ihrcne, and had tended to turn sovereigns into a separate caste; next, the German princes were much more jealous of their position than others, precisely became, dwarfed as they were by tho slill-revored majesty of the Empire, their situation in monarchical society was somewhat equivocal. If we supposo objections founded on these hereditary opinions to havo existed, but to have been waived in favor of character, ac complishments, and a more than fair prospect of domestic lmppiness, we are probably vary close upon the truth. Thero is something satisfactory in tho reflection that, just when we ore told to make up our minds that tho direction of European political thought is passing from England to Germany, the Quoen of Euglanel has done what the least among the princelings swarming at the King of Prussia's headquarters has not tho moral courage so much as to dream of. Rut there are certain conclusions of our contemporaries in which wo cannot bring ourselves to agree. So far from thinking it desirable that the marriages of English royal personages with subjects should bo contracted in any largo number, we aro convinced that if much multiplied they would constitute a considerable political danger. It is true that by their instrumentality n great part of tho territorial wealth oi tne country might bo drawn into tho private domain of the royal family, ond the question (which may be some day perplexing) of provision for a multitude of royal collaterals might loso much ol its im portance. Rut there are political possibili ties which outweigh tho fiscal advantage. Let us iust reflect how the Rritish Consti tution really works. The country is governed by Parliament through a committee of mem bers of both houses, taken alternately from the two great English parties. I ho govern ment is carried on far less by the direct action of Parliament in legislating and voting sup plies than through the delegated agency of tho ministers who form tho governing com mittee. There is, in fact, a strong and grow ing tendency in Parliament to prefer govern ment through its own nominees to elirect go vernment exercised by itself. Rut the Cabi net Minister, really nominated by Parliament ond carrying out its pleasure, is conventionally the Minister of tho Crown. Tho fiction has its convenience in many ways; antliu complete confidence that it will always bo treated as a fiction, Parliament and the Eritish public delight in rather exaggerating than otherwise the prerogatives of the Crown, and not un freqnently employ phrases which, if taken literally, would imply that wo are at tho mercy of a despotism. We have before takeu occa sion to observe that tho foreign copyists of our institutions aro often misled and some times disastrously misled by this very fic tion. Nor can any domestic inconvenieuco of greater magnitude be imagined than the aecidtntof Laving the Rritish throne occu pied by a king or queen who shood a dispo sition to treat this class of fictions as facts or realities. Of course any attempt to impose on the country a policy of which it disap proved or an entire sot of persons not to its taste may be regarded as so improbable that it would be waste of time to discuss it. The true danger is of another sort. The Sovereign might show himself not as tho op ponent of a parliamentary majority, but as it3 hesitating or reluctant or unready instru ment. Such a departure from tho practice of the Constitution cannot bo looked upon as impossible; and, if we had a Sovereign in clined to it, it would be extremely difficult to check or correct him. The theory of the Constitution, which is very greatly ut variance with the practice, would always, up to a cer tain point, provide him with pretexts and apologies. To thesa minor irregularities, which Parliament would be slow to meet with its more formidable means of control, there is nothing to opposo but the vague word "un constitutional," of which tho meaning is doubtful and the application unoertain. What are the influences independently of individual peculiarities of character, which are likely tj tempt a Rritish sovereign into petty acts of reealcitralion ng ainst tho su preme control of Parliament? Not, we think, the connection of the Royal family with the reigning houses of tho Continent. It is pro bable that every prince who marries an Eng lish princess and every princess who marries an English prince come-s hero carefully pre pared for acquiescence in English political idets and nervously afraid of outraging thorn. All over the world this country is recognized as a land of strange institutions, producing indubitably great political results by agencies which no foreigner can completely understand. Tho ablest foreigner we have had among us, the late Prince Consort, is Bai 1 to havo not felt him self quite at home to the very last iu the English political atmosphere; anl certainly be bad one or two warnings that there was a fund of national susceptibility in store which was always in readiness to bo roused by his most natural actions. The one influence which, as we think, might really tempt an English sovereign to misunderstand the part tacitly but irrevocably allotted to him is the influence of intimate connection with the great territorial families of the couutry. These "great governing" houses are full of bitter and sincere partisans; and, if there is no limit to the violence and unscru pulouf tess of English political partisanship vi Leu fully roused, there is also no limit to its meanness. If a Cabinet found petty ob structions offered to its measures, petty insolences encountered by its members, potty preferences of one man over another in dulged in, the first explanation it would hit upon would be the adverse influence of the English relatives and connections of the sovereign, and the explanation in nine cases out of ton would bo the true one. We are not wholly without materials for this conclusion. The elder generation of English politicians remember that at the commencement of the presont reign the in fluences surrounding the sovereign wore ex clusively thoso of one political party, and that the consequences Bhowod themselves in bouniTless irritation and no little public dau ger. Wo have the highest of all anthnrity that of tho royal personage principally con cerned for saying that this condition of things was unsatisfactory, and that it was only endr d by tho wisdom of tho groat Priuce who shortly afterwards ruled exclusively over the royal counsels. Lt us add that Sir R. Peel's spgiicity never proved itself more signally than in his refusal (far from approval by his followers) t accept the famous Red-chamber combination of great Whig ladies. It is unnecessary to say that our remarks have no application to the now contemplated royal luoniage or to any one of tho great pf'litie&l J allies. Multiplied Tory alliances are i.n much to be feared as multiplied Whig ulliiinces; but occasional marriages with sub jtctsof any aiistocratio house cannot bo renFonably objected to: and, indeel, there would be both folly and cruelty in their abso lute prohibition. Wo havo, however, thought it right to protest ngainst tho opiniou of some of our contemporaries that the whole sale engrafting of subject scions upon tho royal stock is to bo applauded and encour aged mainly in tho interest of tho tax-payer.
