Baltimore, Nov. 9.—Latest returns from the State show that the Unionists haye elected three out of five Congressmen, with the first district in doubt. The majority in the State will probably not fall below 5,000. On the home vote, there is a Union majority in the House. The Senate is Democratic. Swann, for Governor, runs ahead of the na- tional ticket in some quarters. The Baltimore city official Union majority is 12.031. Dorchester county gives McClellan 500 ma- jority; Union gain, 537.

The Argus claims that the Democratic ticket is elected in the State. BurFato, Nov. 9.—The Courier farnishes the following :—Butfalo, complete, gives McClei- lan 453 majority. ALBANY, Nov. 9, p.m.—At the Journal office the State is still claimed by the Union ticket by at least 5,000 majority.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 9.—The Press estimates the Union majority on the home vote to be be- tween 6,000 and 10,000, but the county returns are so slowly furnished in consequence of the bad working of the telegraph wires in the in- terior, that the news to-day, though in favor of the Union party, does not materially alter the previous calculations. The Age still considers the State as doubtful on the home vote. The North American thinks there is no doubt that the State has gone Union, but does not specify the majority. NEW JERSEY. Newark, N.

The board was called toorder at 5 o'clock, the president pro tem., Mr. Walsh, in the chair. Mr. Miller presented the applications of Misses Dorinda E. Duvall and Susie Tilley for teacherships in the primary schools. Ke- ferred to the committee on examinations. Monthly reports were in the hands of the sub-boards from the First and Fourth Dis- tricts, but being made ont on the old forms, their presentation was delayed for the present. The report off the Third District for Septem- ber was read, which showed the whole num- ber of pupils in attendance, 1,156; number pres- ent every session, 413; average of attendance, 1,003; punctuality every session, 372; nuimber of ts of trustees, 151. Mayor Wallach here entered and took the chair. Mr. J. O. Wilson submitted the following re- ort: E In aceordance with the requirements of the 12th article of the by-laws of the board, the committee on school-houses and school-rooms bave to report, that they have visited all the public school-houses and rooms in the city, and, upon the general survey, find great cause for congratulation over the improvement since their last annual visit. In the FIRST DISTRICT, Secondary School No.1, which was without any room at the date of our last report, has been provided with one, quite convenient and comfortable, in the Union Academy” build- ing, corner of 1ith street and New York ave- nue, and a temporary frame building has been erected on a rented lot. located on H street, be- tween 13th and lith streets, which turnisbes one of the most agreeable and conyenientrooms in the city, for the use of the female grammar school. Primaries Nos. 3 and 4 haye been organized, the latter from necessity, in the small, damp, and every way unsuitable building on l:h street, between I and K streets, formerly occu- pied by Secondary No. |; and the tormer intne room in “Wilson’s Building,” corner of 19th street and Pennsylvania avenue. Nearly 200 pupils arenow in daily attendance in this room, which is nene too large for 120, and the great csadvantage under which all three of the teachers and the scholars labor is apparent upon the most casual visit. The City Councils have, however, made an appropriation, designed for their relief, and it is expected that anew building will be erected, into which one of these schools can be removed within a shorttime. The building committee, constituted by authority of the City Uouncils, have recently purchased a lot for a large new building at the southwest corner of K street north and lith street west. It has one front of 104 feet 8 inches on K street, and another of 142 feet 8 inches on Franklin Square with a 3) foot wide alley in therear. The location is a very central one, in the Second Ward, elevated and healthy, and the advantages of light, abund- ance of water, drainage and sewerage, and dry basement rooms fora janitor, play-rooms in inclement weather, and store-rooms, at a very moderate expense, are unsurpassed. Had the whole ward been plscet at the disposal of the committee charged with the selection, & more eligible site for the purpose could not have been selected. In the SECOND DISTRICT, _ We regret to state that no material improve- ment has been made. The negotiations for the church property on E street, between ¢th and 7th streets, and the arrangements for the exten- sion of the ‘Berrett School House,” corner of New York avenue and 6th street, tailed, from no want, however, ot diligent effort on the part of the trustees of the district. The latter improvement supers to the com- mittee to be a very desirable one, demanding the first efforts of the sub-board. The lot owned by the Corporation is well located, and of sufficient size. The building now upon it is a handsome edifice, furnishing three good rooms, and the contemplated en- largement 80 a8 to accommodate three or mora additional schools, would, we are satisfied, improve the appearance of the present struc. ture, and jn no respect its conve. niences. The dense and rapidly-increasing population in that section of the — can be supplied with the nobool privileges which they so urgently demand at this time in no other ‘way eo convenient and economical.

In erecting another, te story should be made to extend under the entire building, and some, at least, of the rooms should be of a larger size. The desire to alto- gether separate the two sexes led to the con- struction of partitions, which, to some extent, mar the beauty of the interior, and interfere. with the convenience of the cloak-rooms, and of the persons supervising the schools. I: is believed by the committee that sufficient ex- clusiveness might be obtained througt the dis- cipline of the schools, if some of the tion walls were dispensed with. The occupancy of this building has enabled the sub-board of the district to relinquish a number of the pre-emi- nently wretched rooms in which schoole nad heretofore been kept, and it is sincerely to be hoped that dire necessity may never require a resort to them again. In the FOURTH DISTRICT, but little change has been made. The frame building on 12thstreet west, soath of Maryland avenue, bas been completed, anda and secondary school, with their full compie- ment of scholars, and many wailing ad: iD, are now in possession of it. The large central lot of ground, located atthe southeast corner of D street south and 6th street west, now owned by the Corporation, and, by common consent, set apart for the ex- clusive use of the public schools of the Seventh Ward, is a good guaranty of the fature pros- perily of this district. The nunoiber of grammar schools now in this city is ©; intermediate, 4; secondary, 27; prima- ry, 20—total, 63. The number of pupils that can be taught in these schools is 3,780. The numberof new schools organized during last year was six. The number of pupils that can be tanght in them is 360. There are twosecondary and three primary scheols now authorized by law, but not or- ganized for want of rooms. amount now paid per annum for rent of echool-rooms in this city is as follows First District, $1,110; Second do., $1,690; Third do., $670; Fourth do., #590—total, $4. The proper ventilation of school-rooms can- not receive too much attention from school officers and teachers. The best materials for & good school may be impaired or spoiled by bad ventilation, The committee, therefore, feel at liberty to re- port their recommendation of last year, that, in constructing all new rooms, whether of a permanent or temporary character, care should be taken that the ceilings are sufficient- ly high, at least twelve feet, and that the win- dows are hung with weights, so as to be easily lowered from the top. In one of the school- rooms visited, an improved mode of heating and yentilating was observed. A very neat furnace of a moderate size was located in one corner of the room, which furnished ample heat for the coldest weather, although the room was of unusually large dimensions. A con- stant current of fresh air from without passed through an aperture in the floor, directly an- derneath the furnace, around its cylinder, and thus becoming heated was diffused thoughout the room. : The superiority of this mode of heating over the ordinary mode, from 2 common stove, is apparent toevery one, and itshould be adopted whenever it is practicable. The committee was pleased to notice that considerable improvement had been made in school furniture, In accordance with their recommendation in their last report, the very uncomfortable and incon yenient primary arm chair had disappeared in several schools, and the admirable Boston primary desk and chair bad taken its place. They aleo noticed the introduction of anew style of furniture, patented by W. P. Whlin- ger,in some of the school-rooms, which ap- peared to bave some advantages over the pre- vailing style,and to be more economical in construction. It seems to have given muck satisfaction in the schools where it was used, and itis cyidentty wortny attention on the part ef the board, as the cost of furniture is quite a large item in our annual expenditures, last ce amounting to about five thousand dollars. t will be well tohaye some committee specially charged with the duty of examining and pur- chasing all that may be required. The subject of blackboards also reeeived their attention. They ‘ound a great variety in quality and quantity in tic different rooms they visited, and they are unable to make any spe- cific recommendations in relation to this sub- ject other than that care should be taken tha: every school room is supplied with some sort. The “Eureka Liquid Slating” was used tosome extent last year in repairing old blackboards and in making new ones, on various sabstan- ces, such as oil-cloth, zinc, the ordinary boards and the plaster wall. It has been found not expensive, and to furnish a good surface. The experiments now making in the different dis- tricts will be hkely to lead toseme definite conclusions as to the best and cheapest mode providing this indispensibie requisite of every school-room. Your committee cannot conclude their re- port withoutexpressing their great gratifica- Uon at the decided progress they found to have been made during the last year in the depart- ment of the public school system of this city, which it was their duty to inspect. Respect- fully submitted. J. O. Witson. The report was accepted. Mr. Hitz, from the Third District, wished to know if chilaren were allowed to eat their lunches in their study rooms, and thereby dirty and grease the fioors and furniture; also, wished to know if it was proper that the teacher should shut up the school-room at noon, while away at dinner. Mr. Wight thought the teacher should either stay there or appoint a monitor during an absence. Mr. Hitz moved that the committee on rules and regulations be instructed to request teachers to remain at the school-room atndon. Adopted Mr Wilson presented a bill for printing, from Messrs. Murtagh & Co.; which was ordered to be paid. Mr. Tustin moved that the committee on rules and regulations be instructed to ascertain if the old custom is still observed of raiding a portion of Scripture on opening the schools. The Board then adjourned. ———__- Levy Court.—The Levy Court of Washing- ton county met Monday morning in the Alder- men’s chamber, City Hall. Among other busi- ness a communication wasreceived from Wm. Thompson, Justice of the peace, asking that an ordinance be passed to prevent rioting and disorderly conduct in the county, there being no law at present to meet offenses of this des- cription when committed in the county. Re- ferred to Mr. Utermehle, the attorney of the court, with imstractions to prepare an ordi- nance in accordance with the communication. Several applications were received for tavern licenses in different parts of the county, and Teterred. The election to fill vacancies in the Board of School Commissioners was postponed until the next meeting, Mr. Brown called the attention of the Uourt to the fact that the popes of the amount due by the city of Washington to the Voart for repairing roads leading into the city had not been paid, and he suggested that the Attorney ot the Court be directed to Ep, fora writ of mandamus to compel the or to pay the: amount. Mr. Plant moved the appointment of a com- mittee to wait on the Mayor in referenceto the subject; which was carried, and Mesers. Plant, Bee and Larner were appointed the com- mittee. The Court took @ recess, and, on reassem- bling, the committee reported that the Mayor had informed them that the amount (about $4,000) would be paid shortly. , Three tavern licenses were ordered to be is- sue ————_+ <0 > figs mpneghe Irishmen, ed om bamee receive annu: between twen! thousand dollars each in gold, as dividends of mine in which they are inter- ested in Oslifornis, and in whlct Yor & time, they wrought with their own hands. 10> The scientific commission, appointed by the Em, Napoleon, for the surveysof the aod California, Sonora and ready to eail from Oherbourg.
