Pennsylvania. Returns last night showed a variation of esti- mates in relation to the majority of the repubdli- cans in Pennsylvania, thi res ranging trom 20,000 to 39,000. The republicans gain seven members of Congress and lose one in the Luzerne district. Twenty republicans and eight democrats are electéd. The republicans have a majority of the constitution: tion, and sixty members of the Assembly, against forty democrats. The Senate stands seventeen republicans and sixteen democrats, but if Maclay is elected in Clarion district the republicans will have eighteen. Montgomery county gives a republican majority of 1, being & republican gain of The aggregate returns from Allegleny county, received up to one o'clock p. m. yesterday gave Hartrantt 7,019. The Si districts yet to be heard from will prob- re- conven- ably increase his majority. Negley, re} turned to Congress from the 22d district, McJ an- is elected in the 231 district, and is elected over McUlelland, dem., ict. Alexander, rep., is elected state senator from the Ist district. The returns for Congressmen in Philadelphia show the fol- lowing majorities: First district, S.J. Randall, dem., 1.24: second district, Charles O'Neil rep x hird district, Leonard My 5.0 fourth district, W. D. Kelley, rep., 6. firth district, Alfred Harmer, rep. The aver- age republican majority in’ Philadelphia for members of Congress at large is 17,433. Onto. A special from Cincinnati states that the re- publican majority will certainly reach 20,000. the democrats admit having been badly deceived in regard to the liberal strength out- side of Hamilton county, and that the contest might as well be abandoned now as the state cannot be carried for Greeley in November. Complete returns from fifty-four counties give the republicans a majority of about 15,000, and the remaining counties will increase this’ ma- jority 4,000 or 5,000. Another special says: “Twelve republican ‘congressmen elected; in district, Smith; 4th, Ganckle; 8th, Law- Sth, Robinson; 10th, Foster; 11th, Bund: rague; 16th, Danford; 17th, Woodwo: ; 19th, Garfield; 20th, Parsons; 6ch, Senator Sherman telegraphs that the republican majority is from 15,000 to 20,000. Judge Edmunds of this city has received a dis- vatch which says that Dantord is elected in Bing- ham’s district by 3,400, a republican gain of 900. The state republican committee claim that the: have elected twelve Congressmen certain, wit more than a fair probability of two additional. ‘This gives the democrats seven Congressmen, a gain of two in Hamilton county. The demo- crats do not concede the 6th and 10th districts, but Foster, of tbe 10th, telegraphs to friends that he is surely elected’ by over 50) majority. This is the first time the republicans have ever carried Ohio without the aid ot Hamilton coun- ty. Gunckel’s majority in the 34 district is about 2,000. ‘The 6th district (official) gives Wikot?, rep., 1,004 majority; Sherwood, rep., for Congress, has 1,500 majority in the district." In 14th district, Berry, dem., for Congress, was be- hind as far’ as heard trom, but will carry the In the 15th dis- 8 to Monroe county with fonroe gives a democratic in district by from 3,000 to 3,000. trict, Sprague, rep. 2,600 majority, and majority of 1,700, making Sprague’s majority the district &50.' The 16th district gives Da ford, rep., for Congress, the following major ties:Belmont county, 800; Harrison count: Noble county, 175; Jeffereon county, 1,077 506; ndtana. A special dispatch w the Cincinnati Gazette at a late hour last night from Indianapolis says the net republican gains 1 two hundred and two townships is 2,100. The democratic majority in Allen county ts oftictally reported at 3,100, which is 600 more than the republicans expected. This vote will cut down the republican estimate on Governor and the state ticket below 1,000. This makes the state uncomfortably close, and the chances are that it will require the officia! returns to determine the result. Voorhees is certainly defeated by General Hunter in the 6th district, and General Manson is defeated b; Judge Cason in the 7th, while the result in the Ist district is still in doubt. At a late hour General Shanks telegraphed that he is certainly elected in the 9th district by 500 majority. Another republican special says the state Is close, but the republicans have the legislature and probably gain three members of Congress. ‘Still another special says the best authority puts Indiana at not less than 1,2°0 repnblican ma- jority, @nd that the republicans have both of the legislature, and claim the defeat of Niblack, Voorhees, and Manson. A dispatch trom Hon. John Coburn to Gen. Belknap, Sec- retary of War, says: ‘Republican state ticket elected by small majority. Small republican majorities in the House and Senate. Niblack, Wolf, ana Holman, democrats; Wilson, O8barn, Cason, Tyner, Shanks, Orth, Williams, Pack ard, and Saylor, republicans, are elected to Congress. Vote’ close, but they think this is correct.”” Associated Press dispatches say that the democrats concede a majority in the legislature to the republicans. This will insure the re- election of Morton to the Senate. The latest returns last night show gains for the democrats on the state ticket, and indicate the election of Hendricks tor governor by a small majority, The republicans gain two Congressmen and probably lose one. The tollowing are elected to Congress in the various Congressional districts: First district, Niblack, dem.; 2d, Wolf, dem; 3d, Holman, dem; 4th, Wilson, rep., by 600 majority; 5:h, Coburn, rep.; 6th, Hunter, rep., over Voorhees by 200 majority; ith, Cason, rep. over Manson; 8th, Tyner, rep.; 9th, Neff, dem., over Shanks, rep., the present member; 10th, Saylor, rep.; 11th ‘Packard, rep. The republi- can state central committee figures the house of representatives as 53 republicans, 35 democrats, and 12 doubtful. The contest on the state ticket ig so close that it will require the official vote to decide it. The Pimlico Races. BIG INJUNS O8 THE GRoUND. The Miryland State Fair at Pimlico, near Baltimore, was continued yesterday, and seems to have bad a large. brilliant and fashionable tendance. The Indians from this city proved @ feature of special attraction. The Sun says that they were taken around the stalls to ex- amine the live stock. When gathered about some of the mammoth fat cattle several of them became so happy that they seemed inclined to remain. The squaws laughed with delight; the ebiets felt the cattle over and over, and all seemed delighted. The Arabian horse “Ismael Pasha” also seemed to please them greatly, but when the Percheron stallion, owned by Mr. Wm. T. Walters, was shown, they gathered around in simple wonder at the sight, and sev- eral squatted on the ground, tailor fashion, to have a good look. A small “ jack,” no larger than a good-sized calf, also pleased them very much, and one of them picked him up bodily, amid the langhter ot his companions. About i p. m. they were taken into the dining tent and entertained with a ** Big Injun” dinner. Some of them were reported to be sick, but if this was the case they failed to show it at the tabiec. ‘They will return again on to-morrow, (Friday,) and be on the grounds during the day. THE RACES.

A MoRMON iN THE®Wnome City—Three Wives and All Alive.—At Jeflerson Market yes- terday John Evans, alias John Cogan, was charged with bigamy. John has a great liking for the female sex, but the great trouble is he hasn't yetfound a partner with whom he would be willing to make a life journey. According toJobn’s story he has thus far married three times, each wife being now alive. Oné hé married in Sussexshire, England, one in Chicago, and one in New Orleans.

His three wives left together laughing, and gave him a parting cheer ashe was taken down stairs. N. ¥.

The red-hot stove, with ew ing childrex in one end of the room, was supplanted by air-fur placed in the basement.

Thus, a system of good to some extent grew out of fa In steam bi the exclusive use ef «direct radiation” and of high pressure steam ought to be avoided. Direct radiation means a heater placed direct in the room to be heated. This is the most economical, but least salubrious, heat. Every stove or open fire-piace ventilates the room to some extent, since the oxygen required for combustion is drawn from the air of the room, and hurls the poisonous gases along and off througt the emoke-stack. In front of the register from your furnace you feel the incom- ing of iresh air, which cannot but displace or drive off in some Way an amount of vitiated air. Not so with the direct steam-radiaior. Shut your windows and doors tight, and you can fore long set one-half of the inmates of the school-room to sleep, whilst stupefying or sick- ening the rest. The same gradaally vitiated air cools off by contact with the cold walls and windows, and is heated again by the agency ot the steam heater, the supply of the steam and back tlow of the condensed water being eftected within an air-tight eystem of pipes, without changing the air of the room in the least.
