Yoa~ tordsy morning's roturna indicatod the oleotion of two Republicans, but lstor advicea conoedo that the Domocrats have taken ovorything in Missouri, A joke that Mr. Thurmau will not rolish, but which 18 a legitimate respoose to his Ku-Klux sally at poor Musanchusetts, in bolng circulated in Washiogton, It isthat the Hon. Joha Mor- riseoy will bo clooted Sorgeant-at-Arms by the next Houso. Ordway wil not like tho joke eithor. Tho Recordor of Deeds, whoso office Is in tho Times building, complains of & very dissgreea- ble smell in that neighborhood, It is said that # the putrid reminiecence” is boing resurrected there or therosbouts. The County Commis- slonors, at their meoting yesterday, considored this and other inducement to moving tho oftice. In South Carolina, the Republicans baves ‘mojority of 20,000. Chamborlaio, tho new Gov- ernor, sustained the same part to tha worst Ring administrations of tho State aa Oaloy Hall did in the case of Now York; that s, hio choso not %o seo the corruption going on about him., And thia is & charitable construction of his conduet. Tho new Democratic Govornor of Massachu- will bavo & fall Republican Conncil to advise and consult with, Ife will bo ss pleasantly situnted #a the Emperor Willism, who has decided to or- ganize a ropresentative advisory body for Alsaco and Lorraino. The Emperor will probably bo advisod, fitst of all, to cut his own throst; and #o, perhaps, may Gaston bo advised. The New York Nalion somo time ago ex- -presaod the foeling of decent men fowards the Republicau party by quotiug tho supplication of a0 old Scotch minister for & young scapograco ¢ 0, Laird, shake him ower tho mouth of hel), but dinoa drop him in ‘Tho party may now ‘o said to bo in the perilous condition above do- genibed, Ite fato is not closrly foroshadowed, The now direct cublo will probably bo in work- ing order by the ond of this mouth. It is un- fortunste that the company caunot have tho beat Jand connections so far a8 this country is concernod. The Westorn Union lines are en- tiroly at the dispoaal of the old cable company ; aud, with this advautage, it will be strauge if it does not maintain its monopoly. Perhaps Buckalow | be the now United States Souator from Penusylvania. It is pretty cortain that Don Camoron, gon of " tha present Senator, will not be. Camoron pere and Butlor are tho samo kind of statesmen, with tho differ~ ence of ability in favor of Butler; and the clec- tions treated them protty much alike. When the Ropublican party becomes virtuous again, tho oldor Cawmoron witl not ba Chsirman of the Foroign Relations Committeo. Tux Trioose has estimated the Demooratio majority in the Lowor House of the Forty-fourth Congross at 80 to 85, not counting the sevonteon alections to be held nextyear. Tho highest out- #ido cstimato yesterday was 05, but the caleula- tors sro meking rapid progress upwards. Our figures are not guesses, but caroful computations from the roturns actually recoived and the known complexion of districts not heard from. They may bo relied upon as pretty nearly correct. Tho list of the Illinols Leglslaturo-clect, givon this morning from the boet information at hand, shoms totals as follows: Bennte—25 Republic- 208, 28 Democrats, 8 Independents, Houee—G7 Ttepublicans, G4 Dewmocrats, 22 Independents, ‘The list may undergo somo chunges of namoa =8 to the minority candidates electod to the Houso, but tho political status wilt not bo matorially aff*cted whatever these chunges may be. The combined Opposition bave twenty mojority on joint ballot. —— 8t. Louls nowepapers bave got n notion that it was Gon. Bauks who defeated Geu. Butler on Tuesday. It is about timo for overybody to’ know that Dutler was Leaten by Charles P, Thompeon, whose antecedents are puroly Demo- cratis, o dofeat of Butler by Banks, whoso servicos to tho Hepublicsu party may fairly bo called distinguished, would be a popular cone domnation of Butler, but not of the party which ho roprosented at tho polls.

"The popplo of Cliongo are undor an obligation to tho votors of tho Eloventn Ward, Thore wero fonr candldnted for Aldorman in that ward, including James Walsl, tho Ropublican nominoo. The division of the vote among so many ren~ dored it vory likely that this mon Walsh sould bo olected. But the moral senso of tho majority of tho votors waa too strong, and, despite a largo oxpondliure of monoy, Walsh was dofontod and a respectablo man oloctod. This 18’ the sccond time that Walsh has beon rojocted by tho poople of that ward since his sorvice In tho County Jall, and tho public gencrally will thank the good poo- plo of tho Elevonth Ward for their docided re- bulke to this impudont oftico-seckor.

Tho qualitica requisito for tha position are of & puculiar order aud oxceedingly rato. Thoy aro not of the high- est order in an intollectual souse, bui are of tho highest in o party sense.
