Enough of the smoke of yesterday’s great po- litieal battle in thirty-one states has cleared away to get a glanceat substantial results. The republicans have made gains In nearly every northern state, held their own in Virginia, made a gain in Maryland, and met a ioss in Missouri. The New York republicans have secured th legislature, which means the re-election of Sen- ator Conkling to the Senate; and in Connecit- cut they alco carry the leg.slature, which will elect aepub"ean Senator to succeed Senato Barnum, democrat, and chairman of the na- tonal democratic committce. THE STATE DELEGATIONS IN THE NEXT HO The hard fight tue republicans have been making was mainly directed to an effort to secure a majority of the votes by states inyhe House of Representai:ves. From the table which we print below, {t will be seen, by esti- mating Califorpta, which is yet toeleci, and giving it the representation in the Forty-sixth Congress that it now holds in the Foriy-titti the republicans will have a majority of the Votes in the following state delegations, viz:— California, Colorado, Conneciscat, _ Minois, Towa, Kansas, Maine, Macsachuseits, Micbizan, Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampsuil New Jersey, New York, Penusylvanta, Rhode island, Vermont and Wisconsin—a total of 19 states. The democrats have a majority in the states of Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Ma pi, Missouri, North Carolina, 0 110,0vezon, ‘arolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and West Virginia—a total of 15 states. Indiana is a tie. with 6 republcans, 6 demo- crats, and 1 greenba Tt will thus be seen that if an election for President was thrown into the House of Repr: sentatives in 1531 it would be impossible to elect a candidate, for the reason that De La Ma’ the Indiana greenback, in such a conting would undonbtedly vote with democrats which would make of the witole vote to be cast 19 republicans aud 19 Gemocrats—a tie. PARTIES IN THE NEXT HOUSE. From telegraphic data, it would appear that the democrats hold about the same ma- jority inthe 46th Congress it now holds in the 45th.

Uf the republican claim of a gain of two Con- gressmen in Pennsylvania is Sustamed, as it seems likely to be, the demogratic total above would be reduced by two and the republtcan vote increased that number.) THE NEXT PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. Taking a glance at the Presidential outlook, the October and November elections indicate that allof the northern states are republican except Indiana and Oregon. It they continue to remain so it will be impossible for the demo- crats to elect a President in 1531, and for the reason that the democrats would have but one huudred and fifty-six votes in the electoral col- lege as follows: Rep.

BUTLER once made the remark that no President, ever heard the truth in the White House. Yester- day’s result no doubt convinces him of another truism, that a prominent candidate for office never hears the truth from his paid agents.

It is claimed by personal friends of De La- Matyr that he will vote with the repubticans, and thai he has always been a republican. If this be so the republicans will have a majority of one ona vote by staie delegations in the 46th Congress. THR “SOLID SOUTH.” The action of the democracy in South Crrolina in preventing the election of the re ubiican cand'dates in the 1st and 4th Congressio al dis- tricts, will, the republicans say, have a tsnden- ey to make a “solid North” against a ‘solid South.” GOVERNMENT RECEIPTS TO-DAY. enue, $272,055.67; customs, $123,691.

Justice Harlan and Assist- ant Secretary Hawley cal'ed on the President to-day. THE PRESIDENT ON THE ELECTIONS.—To seve- ral gentlemen who called on him to-day the President expressed himself as much gratified with the success of the republican party in the elections, as indicated by the returns so far_re- ceived. He thought that this showed how little hold the inflationist and tiat_ money theories of the greenback and democratic parties had taken on the minds of the people.
