THE Presidential Electors will meet at

not approve of the scheme to thrOw out

field for inquiry if the Democracy desires
to investigate corrupt election practices.
A pa a: Presidential election- fol.
lows the speculations the pews,
•.
papers as to the causes which have
brought about the. victors or pro-;
(laced a defeat. The columns ot-the
Rep 'Oilcan journalS for the past week
have' been profusely .illustrated with
all sOrtS of cuts—reminding the read
er of, a circus advertisement. The
joy And enthuilasm: of the successful
editor has broken - out in great
chunks, as it were, And it seems as if
he eauld hardly find words adequate
to tie oee,asion. 'Per *contra the
Demcratie newspaper has no use for
the eagles, and patent medicine cuts,
which accumulate in the country
newitpsper office, and 'which .are
brought into• use - upouloceasions.of
extraordinary interest. No flaming
bead- lines in bold type disfigure the
IlAxicocx newspaper. The_titles are
dolorous and subdued. Alew words
singe to tell the story, and the small
est type in the of fi ce is deemed
•
protainent enough to chronicle an
overwhelming disaster. • '
-That the leaders of the Democracy
arc terribly disappointed, there is no
attempt at concealment, and in the
bittirness' of their defeat and disap
pointm-ent, they are looking around
for some victim upon whom they may
- falCund rend to pieces. The failure
to elect, HmsipoCK, after the despi
cable means resorted to, naturally ex

er..tic manager4ind there it a crithi•
tletibt RCPd norhohlition, to„they its
cuss each other of inecanpetenoy or

fors great share of :Oa oenaire and

head. He is held resportaibbc for the
falling off of the VAlrcoat' vote. But
whether it was caused by
of the voter against the local ticket
which he had named, or 'whether
there was a:regal:ir trade on the elec
toral ticket is a point whichihe most
astute Democnti." has not yet been
able satisfactotili to settle.
What adds to= the poignancy of the
grief of the Democracy and aggra
vate.s his anger is the fact that the
35 eleetoral votes of. New York add
ed to the ILtricOcs column, would
have made the 185 votes which con
stitute a majority of the electoral
college. This result might have been
brought atkint bad - a few thousand

Democratic leaders know this, and
attrihutethe change to JOHN.SELLT I S
management or his treachery, it is
not wonderful that they swear as
•
did the army in Flanders. Curses
both loud and deep are heaped on
his 4.leiroted head,, and he is consign
ed to, the regions . which INGERBOI4.
says do not exilt.
Another class of Demoeratic, news
papers attribute the defeat to the
stupidity of . Bia s sum, and the low
and dirty tactics to which he resort,
ed, in conducting the camliaign. The
allusions to his management are.by
no means complimentary, though;
they are undoubtedly desaved.
While the Albany . Times is 4 more
inclined to charge it, to the machina
tions of Mr. TILDEN and his malevo
lent brood of nincompoops." Evi
dently the Demwracy is discouraged;
and they , are ready to give every
reason but the true one for the crush
ing defeat which has brought such
grievous disappointment.
. • .
The Southern newspapers, so far
as we have seen their comments, are
discussing the situation very calmly
and rationally. • The Memphis Ava
lanche says :—" Instead of a discus•
sion•of a measure of 'public policy
that would promote the .general wel
fare, the.Democraticmanagers assail
ed the personal -character of GAR;
• FIELD, and expended all their force,
from first to last, trying to convince
.the Republican voter that- G A RFI ELD

Man Was a blunder, and so was the
campaign a succession of blunders.
It was a carnival of narrow-minded
where they played fantas
tic tricks: The -consequences that
follow, Tuesday's elections will -be
the.llissolution of the two solid - sec;
Lions that are now arrayed against
each other. liow and by what means
this result will be accomplished will
be manifested after the meeting of
the new Congress.".
THE GENERAL REMELT.
Tux results of Tuesday's elections
are now assuming definite form as
the vote is canvassed and announced;
so that it is now possible to arrive at
something reliable, though It will
take some days yet to get the correct
and final figures.
.The genend result
may be summed up as follows: - The
Electoral College is composed of
369 Electors, "who are to choose by
'their votes the next President and
Vice-President of the United States.
At the election held on Tuesday the
States chose 213 Electors who will
vote for GARFIELD and ARTHUR, the
candidates nominated by the Repub.
Lipari Party, and. 15G Electors_ who
will vote for the representatk;es of
the Democratic party, HANCOCK and
ENGLISH. GARFIELD and ARTHUR_
have, therefore, 28 more. than a ma
jority. of the Electoral votes. This
number may be increased. The latest
telegrams show that both parties as
sert that they have carried California,
the estimated majorities in each case
being less than 100 votes. It is plain
that the result in that State can be
decided only by the official count.
If the: Republicans should have a
majority there, GARFIELD and Aril,
THUR would have 219, votes, and
HANCOCK and ENGLISH 150. It is
. said that' one of the GARFIELD . Elec=
tors in California will be elected in
any event; if this be true, the undis
puted Electoral strength of the Re
publican ticket will be 214 votes..
The Democrats failed to seciire a
majority in any Northern State, ex
cept California, Nevada, and New
Jersey, and the margin in these
States is so small that it is , practical
ly true that on Tuesday the Solid
South found itself opposed by: a
Solid North.
Another result of tbe work done on
Tuesday is the selection of a House
of Representatives in which the Re
publicans will have a clear majority.
The latest returns show that there
have been elected 152 Republicans,
185 Democrats, and 4 Greenbackers,
with two seats in doubt.- In the list
of Republicans are included 3 Re
publican•Greenbackers of Missouri,
and J. Hvarr SAttur, of the Third
District of New-York, The promi
nent feature of the Congressional
elections is the success of the brave
Republicans in the South, who have
broken into State delegations which
have heretofore been solidly Demo.
cratic, by fae'ng and overcoming
difficulties which are unknown to Re
publicans in the North. Republicans
have won seats ins the delegations
from Ketititcky, Ihottisinnt, and Ilia
solid ; they hive gained Beata in ten
neaina and Vitginias and they have

ITUEASON UVN MAD.
That a campaign conducted by
BARNIAI should have been distin
guished by trickery and fraud, was
to be expected, and there have been
repeated warnings that an attempt
would be made to "'count out" the
Repi;blician candidates, should the
vote be dose. But no one supposed
that after Mich an expression of- the
popular will as was made on Tues
day, the most desperate and unprin
cipled partisan would dare to make
the suggestion that the voice of the
people should be disregarded.
,But
it seems that rafter the falsehoods
uttered about GARFIELD; the employ
ment of the dishonest methods in
Indiana, and worse than all, the per
petration of the crime of fo'rgery,
there is still a lower depth of infamy
to which the managers are willing to ,
descend. Notwithstanding the large
majority of electoral votes thathave
been given for GARFIELD, with an un
mistakable majority of the popular
vote, there is now every evidence
that the leaders of the Democratic
party have seriously entertained the
proposition to set aside the popular
verdict, and by revolutionary and.
dishonest measures to endeavor to
procure the , dedaration that Han
coex is elected.
That this diabolical scheme will
meet with tbe approial of the re-
Apectable potion of the Democratic
party, or that it will be pressed to
consummation, we do' not believe,
but that it should be conceived, and
Announced and advocated by any
considerable number of the leaders
, should be enough to arouse the in
dignation of the country and'consign
to everlasting infamy its concoctors.
Yet the NewlYork World; of. Satur
day,, is aim°, entirely devoted 4.n its
editorial columns, to elaborating and
advocating the propo,sition, to throw
out the electoral vote of New York,
Indiana andi, Illinois.. That paper
calls upon "State Engineer and Sur
veyor HORATIp SEratoue , jr.," who is
the only Den Ociatie member of the
Board of State Canvaisers, to " pro
test against Oceiving and 'counting
the returns fr4n St. Lawrence, Wash
ington. Chau l tanqua- and Onondaga
counties," whiph if thrown out Would
elect the Hococx eleetors. This
declaration he' should serve on the
Democratic electors, who should
meet and castlthe electoral vote for
HANCOCK anditiopsa, and duly for
ward a notification of that result tO
Congress. 'lte- will be remembered
that Congress has persistently refus
el to adopt May plan for elating
the electoral v:ote, and it is expected
by the originatori of this scheme
that that body would accept anything
in the shape of returns which would
give it an excniie for declaring His
,
cocx elected. .),
That there 'is any probability of
the perpetration of such an outrige
is not likely, but the suggestion is
enougli to excite the apprehensions
of the CounttlY, and create disorder
and conirision.l, It shows how truth-
Ad was the utterances of those who
warned the country against the prob
able dangers which might glow from a
result•which left room 'for doubt, or
,for the practiciri'Wsripkery fraud.

PIIILADLLPHIA, Novembeo3, 1860
The excitement attending the receipt
of ;election news from Indiana . wa - e feeble .
in comparison with the intense anxiety `
and final demonstrations which followed
the closing ofthe polls on Tuesday last.
The election passed over very, quietly
here. There were some few disturbances
and some arrests made, but on the whole
it was an orderliand quietelection. The
'business me i of tlity put aside fOr the
occasion their' buying and selling, and
gave the day to their'party. The chief
interest centred in the echtrollership, as
it was understood that theremainder of
the City Ticket, as well astlie state tick
et; was / certain of success. Mr. Pattison
prominent sad influential Republi
cans in every ward, whO were openly sup
porting him, and working for his success.
The result was astounding, rui Mr: Patti
son has 13,000 majOrity in a city which
gives Garfield 20,000-anajority,
,and elects
Mr. Jeffries' colleagues on the ticket by
an equally large majority. This result
rats the independence of the Republi
can voter. Mr. Jeffries is a merchant of
the highest character, and ordinarily
would make an acceptable caudidite; But
Mr. Pattison has been an excellent officer,
and ha 4 the:Confidence of the people. The
significance of his re-election is, that the
voters are not to be led by the beaus, and
when the issue is squarely made will
smash the "machine"' Thisvaademonz
stated in 'the Third Senatorial District.
Senator Lemon was - without a Contestant'
for the nomination, almost up to the day
the Convention met. He was an honest
and faithful legislator, but the order was
given that'he must not be returned, and
Mr. Quirk was nominated in his Pike.
The voters rejected Mr. Quirk by 1,400
majority in a strong Republican district,
preferring to be npreeented by a Demo
crat rather than submit to' the dictation
of Outside parties..
Soon
Soon after dark, the 'crowds! began to
cagiegate in front of the newspaper . of
and other places where the 'news was
to be announced. There was much
anxiety manifested, and about an equal
amount of confidence on each side.. The
first news mute from Maine,' ad showed
Republican gains. This caused some ex
citement; and .was hailed with enthral
aim. About half-past nine o'clock the
announcement was made that thereturns
from New York indicated that that State
ivse certain for Garneld, ensuring his
election. This fell like: a wet blanket
upon the Hancock men; but 'it aroused
the most intense enthusium amongst the
Republicans. In a short i time the differ-
I tilt clubewere paradingthe divots, with
the Tulnal tfabis
red 'lights, rockets end transparencies.
All went off*flatly, excepting when the
Veterans" club of the . Thirteenth, Ward
arrived in hmnt of the Americus Club, on

A Steamer Wreeked.
- - The steamer RhOde Island, of 'the
Providence Line, , which left New
York Friday evening, struck on the
rocks off Bonnet Point at about 4 a.
m. Saturday, while going up Narra-'
gansett Bay in a :dense fog. The
smoke-stack- fell - overboard_ and the
chandeliers in the cabin were broken,
injuring, several 'persons and causing
for a time darkness and Confusion.
The officers, however, soon restored
order,,,and preparations were made
for landing. The 'steamer still hung
on the rocks, groaning and straining
her timbers, and the sea was heavy.
Everyone prepared, for the worst.
When daylight came, however„all the
passengers, about 170 in number,
were safely brought ashore'by means
of a line and the steamer's boat. It
is likely that the .Rhode, Island Rill
be a total loss.. ,° •
