"ME STATH HUOTION ‘THE LATEST RETURNS. The Republicans Still in the Ascendant, but Majorities Dwindling Down. Pennsylvania About « - 8,000 Ohio About - - + - - 15,000 Indiana - « from 1,000 to 3,000 ELECTION OF VOORHIES IN ILLINOIS, Philadelphia City from 500 to 3,500 Democratic. ‘The returns from the elections on Tuesday, the ‘8th inst., in the States of Pennsylvania, Ohio, In- diana and Nebraska come in slowly yesterday, but so far as general results are concerned they do not differ materially from those given in Wednesday's HERALD. Pennsylvania indicates rather an increased Majority for the republicans, ranging from 8,000 to 10,000, although the democratic estimate dwindles it down to barely 3,000, while Ohio falls back to 15,000 and Indiana to a close contest, being claimed by the republicans by only from 1,000 to 3,000, We have nothing new from Nebraska as we write, but imagine that our estimate of about 1,000 majority for the republicans is pretty near correct. Valiandigham, of Ohio, on the radical democratic Bide, and Ashley, of Ohio, on the radical republican side, are undoubtedly defeated, while there 1s a bare chance that John Covode, radical, of Pennsylvania, Mnay still have been successful in his oid Twenty-first district, although we haye classified his democratic competitor, Henry D. Foster, as having been elected, The official returns will probably be necessary ta decide the final result. Our latest despatches from Indiana state that Voorhies, democrat, is certainly elected, but that fraudulent votes have secured his success. Holman, democrat, is also elected, making the delegation stand seven republicans and four democrats. Obio does not elect a Legislature this year. It is now democratic. The Legislatures just chosen in Pennsylvania, Indiana and Nebraska are believed to be republican, which will secure two republican United Si Senators in place of democrats, and thus counterbalance, in a measare, the gains the democrats have made in the lower house. We submit the returns and other incidental Matters so far as received at an early hour this morning. PENNSYLVANIA, PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 14, 1868, The table of estimated and reported majorities for all the counties of Pennsylvania foota up a republi- can majority of 12,990, which will probably be in- creased. The Press has reported majorities from thirty- eight counties in Pennsylvania showing a republican Majority of 13,241, and claims that the full count will increase it to 18,000, In the representative districts both republican State Senators and twelve Assemblymen out of eighteen were elected. ‘The estimate for the State is that thirty-four demo- crats and fifty-seven republicans were elected, leay- ing nine others doubtful. The democrats carry the Third Congressional dis- trict by 151 majority and probab!y the Filth district by @ similar small majority. In the city wards Taylor, republican, has 268 ma- jority, but this will be overbalanced by Bucks county, which gave 686 democratic majority last year. Both these districts will be contested. These are believed to be the only republican losses in the Congressional delegation. THE CITY TICKET. The city ticket was carried by the democrats by a majority ranging from 491 to 3,348, The City Council will be largely republican in both branches, MISCELLANEOUS RETURNS. Bucks county ts reported 700 democratic majority, Pas gy Reading (democrat) to Congress by 452 majority. Keturns from all but five districts indicate that the democratic majority in Berks county will be avout 6,700. Reading gives a democratic majority of 23. Luzerne county gives a democratic majority of about 3,600—a democratic gain of 1,200. Scranton oF gives a democratic majority of 1,163, joga county—Jackson, 73 republican majority; Rutland, od republican majority; Sullivan, 222 repul lican i, majority. Mercur, republican, for Congress for the Thirteenth district, is re-portea elected. The Zelegraph estimates Fayette county at 700 and ‘Westmoreland county at 1,200 democratic majorities, and Indiana county 2,300 republican majority. If correct, Uus would elect Mr. Covode by 400 majority in the ty-lirst district, ‘the total vote off Tioga county, shows a repub- ean majority of 3,427.

JOHN COVODE’S DISTRICT STILL DOUBTFUL. SCRANTON, Oct. 14, 1868, It is impossible to give even approximate figures of the vote of Luzerne‘county, Returns are in from only asmall portion of the county, and in the city irregularities at the polling places render it neces- sary to wait for the official count, There are no figures to show the election of either candidate for Congress, and for the present the district must be classed as doubtial, The Legislature. The returns show the election of 57 republicans and 84 democrats to the Legislature—9 doubtful.

This is the fourth death that has occurred from the rows yesterday. ‘Two brothers, Christian and Edward Byrnes, were shot dead, and Charles Specht and J. Folan were wounded, last night, in the Fourth ward, ina political row. The origin and actors are unknown. Eleven other persone were shot in various disturp- ' ances occurring during the day. Policeman John Young, who was wounded last night in a row inthe Seventh ward, died this morn- ing. Samuel Holt and Charles W. Powell have been arrested, charged with the murder of the brothers Byrnes. The former was « sheriff's deputy. There were forty-two arrests for rioting and tilegal voting by the Mayor's police. Nearly all captured were armed with pistols. A RADICAL PRESS ON THR POLITICAL ROWS. Alluding to the democratic frauds and murderous outrages on the lives of citizens the Evening Bulletin says:—These monstrous outrages upon will of the people must be met and repudiated. The whole repubiican ticket was undoubtedly elected in this city terday by large majorities, and Mee ho cratic claim of victory must be resisted and defeated in our courts of law, in our Legislature and on the floors of Congress. STILL ANOTHER VICTIM. WILKESBARRE, Oct. 14, 1868. In an election fight yesterday one man was mor- tally wounded. A CURIOUS THING FOR HARRISBURG, HARRISBURG, Oct. 14, 1968. For the first time within a living memory this city has elected a republican Mayor, Council, School Board and City Treasurer. BVELAND, Oct. 14, 1868, The latest advices give a republican majority of 15,000, and elect thirteen out of nineteen Congress- men. No districts remain in doubt. Ashley in the Tenth, Gibson in the Ninth, Eggleston in the First and Cooper in the Thirteenth are beaten, The returns, as given last night, are unchanged, Democratic Congressmen wereelected for the First, Fifth, Ninth, Tenth, Twelfth and Thirteenth districts. The republicans get the balance. CINCINNATI, Oct. 14, 1868.

In thirty-seven counties heard from the returns show a democratic gain of 6,709, with forty-one counties to hear from, which will require @ gain of 182 in each county to give the State to the democrats, The Democratic State Com- mittee claim the State, and figure a ma- jority of 1,570, while the Republican Central committee claim 2,400 majority on the State ticket. The Congressmen elected are Niblack, democrat, in the First district; Kerr, democrat, in the Second district; Jutian, republican, in the Fourth district; Coburn, republican, in the Fifth district; Carter, re- publican, over Voorhees, in the Sixth district; Orth, republican, in ths Seventh district by 700 majority: Pratt, republic in the Eighth district; Shanks, re- publican, in the Ninth district; Williams, republican, in the Tenth district and Packard, republican, iu the Eleventh district. ‘The ‘Third district is still doubt- ful, both parties claim: it.

Voorhees and Holman, Democrats, Elected— Fatal Altercation. INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 14, 1868, There has been a great deal of excitement here to- day over the election, Until ten o’cleck this morning it was supposed that the republicans had carried the State by 6,000 or 8,000, but returns coming in changed the aspect of affairs so much that at noon the demo- crats claimed the State by a small majority. In the afternoon democratic gains decreased, and at this time the republicans are ahead, with eleven counties to hear from. It is impossible to state the result, which probably can only be determined by official returns; but indi- cations are that the republican ticket has been elected by a small majority—not exceeding 3,000, Of eighty counties the republicans have gained in only six, while in the remainder the democratic gains have been large. In the Congressional districts Niblack, Kerr, Hol- man and Voorhees, democratic, are certainly elected ; but the election of the latter can be succe: parts of his district. In other districts the republi- can members are elected by majorities largely in- ferior to those of 1866. The election is the closest held in fifteen years. Both parties are claiming the election of their State ticket, but in event the republicans have a working majority in the Legislature, On joint ballot at will be Loe agony @ majority of twenty-four. le, He ee , Colonel Edward Wolfe, formerly of the Fifty-second Indiana regiment, was shot and killed in an altercation at the election. Auother Despatch. INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 14, 1868, In seventy-four counties heard from the republi- can State ticket has 5,399. Allowing the same pro- portionate gains for the democrats in the eighteen counties to hear from, the republican majority will be 2,000 to 3,000, Later and more complete returns from the Sixth jonal district give Voorhees the eleetion by @ Very small majority. Holman (democrat), in the Third district, is elected to Congress. This makes the delegation seven re- publicans and four democrats. The Latest. INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 14—Midnight, In eighty-two counties heard from the republican majority 1s 6,851, with ten counties to hear from, which gave a democratic majority in 1966 of 3,300. If the democratic gains in those counties are as large as thone (oeeg A eee they will reduce the repub- lican majority to from 1,500 to 2,000, REPUBLICAN REJOICINGS OVER THEIR VIC- TORIES.

Grand Jollification in Boston—Exciting Scenes in Faneuil Hall—Speeches by General Butler and Senator Wilson. Boston, Oct. 14, 1868. ‘The radical political cauldron is boiling most vig- orously to-night in consequence of the enthusiastic heat produced by the announcement of the report of victories in Pennsylvania, @hio and possilly Indiana, All day the excitement in the city has run high, and it has finally culminated in a mass gathering in old Faneuil Hall, the largest and most thoroughly noisy and disorderly assembly that has been convened in Boston since the memorable egging of Wendell Phillips in Tremont Temple. The great point of attraction was Ben Butler, whose coming had been heralded on handbills and in newspapers tor a day or two; and inasmuch as it was his first speech in Boston since he became one of the recognized leaders of Con- gress, : waa naturally a great desire to hear him. Dre Less ta was of course on hand, and also s.,. al other vadical politicians of about equal prominence. The hali was densely packed, in the as well as on the lower floor, and probably not jess than 10,000 or 12,000 were crammed into it, and more as many more who came late were unable to gain admittance. When the occupants of the platforin took their seats there was an eager Sx the coming of the Dutch Gap hero, but as e did not appear in the crowd there were loud calls for an explanation of his absence. This the chatr- man of the meeting, Robert J. Burbank, did not seem inclined to give until the meeting became posi- tively motous, and then he gave out thas Butler would be present in about an hour.

When Coionei Tucker had finished General Butler had arrived and there was at once the wildest kind of enthusiasm. The band struck up “Hall to the Chief.” He stepped forward. The menshouted, the wo- men shook their handkerchiefs, but mingled with the whole were # few hisses. The General said he had been doing what he could for the t contest of the right in Pennsylvania and Ohio he was pleased to know that these States had spoken loudly and emphat- ically for the right, Indiana too, the home of Col = had proved true; all of which showed beyond ail peradventure that Grant would be elected and we should have peace. To Massachusetts the country looked for an old fashioned eighty thousand major- ity, and he was sure she would not faiter. Last year she stopped to take a drink and the majority was only twenty-five thousand, but this year she will wheel into her old line and swell the majority for freedom and right, The General then defined the rincipies at stake.

Concerning the national debt, he said it showed that the government was the strongest on earth—an evidenceof the strength of our armies, and altogether he felt proud that the debt was so large, for with an increased wealth of the nation and the annual increase of the popu- Jation the future is most brilliant and gigmising, fax. i ignores and especially under the ruie of Grant and he added, Seymour is elected and he overturns the laws of Congress bayonets will be crossed again, and instead of carrying on the war by the day they will do it all up by the job.

Senator Wilson was then introduced. He said that he was that the lost cause had not been regaine he believed there would never be any such & as that alluded tw dy Butler, as John Quiney Adams had said, the republican party was on trial, its accusers failed to show themselves, and he believed that it would still live and prosper with increased vigor. The party, he added, is with every man and every nation that 13 oppressed, and so long as it has this feature its existence 13 everlasting. ‘The democratic party, which has always opposed the black man, is to-day on its knees begging him to vote their ticket; but he 1s deaf to their appeal. He would also say that the democrats had never been in favor of the workingmen, and they now stood before them as their morial enemies, It was the democratic party which plu the country into war, and the work- ingmen, both white and biack, had too much sense to support such a party. ‘The Co! jonal recon- strucionists, he added, are at work in the interest of the wor! men, and when they are done labor in the South will be dignified, The democrats, he said, Wrough Freak Blair, have proclaimed that they will overthrow all this; but he looked to the intelligence of the people to keep Blair out of @ position to do this, Concerni: taxation the republican party had discriminated in favor of tax- ing the luxuries of life heavily and the necessaries of life lightly, bu¢ the democrats had declared against this and in favor of taxing the poor man the same as the rich, Their plan might be based on republican plan was based on jus- Grant, he said, would be President; the na- tioval Cougress will support him; the trial policy of reconstruction will be accom| lished, and the Union will be restored on the basis of loyalty and liberty to every man, Anotier thing they will do, will be to put a stop to the insults and outrages heaped upon the loyal men of the South; for if the spirit of re- bellion was not crushed at Appomattox Court House, it with God's bleadas, be crushed on the 3d of November next, and a boy im biue will be prptpcned in taking a carpet bag down South, rasing Union tag and shouting for General Grant. Since Lee surrendered there have been more men mnurdered because they were loyal, or radicals, than were slain upon the memorable field of Gettysburg. But when Grant is elected all this will be stopped, and an Amherican citizen will besafe there. Another thing they will do will be to encour capital and industry and promote the interests of education all through the South. In ciosing Mr. Wilson said that to-morrow he should start on a stumping tour been Northern New York. While the meeting was progressing inside the hall there was another organized outside, and numerous speeches were made, reworks let olf and a general amination, To-morrow evening General Kilpatrick and R.

The exceeding close character of the vote, coupled ‘with incomplete returns, renders it extreemly dim. cult, even yet, to state how the city has gone, although every probability shows that the democrats have gained a slight majority, not more than twenty, on the Water Commissioners, the head of the city ticket. The republicans shot ahead nearly two hun- dred votes on the Tax Commissioner. Out of the thirteen Aldermen voted for the democrats have elected six, and it is probable they may get the Thirteenth ward election also.

Speech of Jobn T. Hoffman at Albany. ALBANY, N. Y., Oct. 14,1868, A large democratic meeting was held at Tweddle Hall to-night, A torchlight procession, containing from 8,000 to 10,000 people, was a feature of the even- ing. The meeting was presided over by Senator Banks, of Albapy. John T, Hoffman was the first speaker, Mr. Hoffman discussed at length the reeonstruc- tion measures of Congress and the dangerous ten- dencies of the radical party. He then discussed the national Gnances and produced figures to show that the expenditures of the government for the three years past were nearly as large as those from 1789 to 1861, The speaker eriticised the recent speech of Senator Morgan, at the Cooper Institute, in New York, and alluding to the statement that “the first issue of bonds was made at a time when no other than a gold standard was known or thought of,’ said this was an admission that the com for the payment of the bonds made no provision for their payment except in the lawful money of the country, and also that neither the Senator nor his friends had any proper conception of the financtal issues of the day. He criticised the Senator's statement that the loans to the government during the war came from the triotic classes and = that the democratic minority were responsible for the depreciated credit’ of the government, which the speaker charged as the result of radical waste and extravagance. Referring to Senator Morgan’s remark that the people of New York were jealous of the State and national credit, Mr. Hof!- man said that Senator Conkling, at the same meet- ing, declared that the public securities agree on their face to pay so many dollars, What does the word dollar mean? Can it mean anything except that which, in the understanding of the whole commercial world, it signifies? Mr. Hoffman thought there was malice in the question, He then re- ferred to the suit of John Wiison against Edwin D. Morgan, in which the plaintif’ was owner of a ship and Morgan consignee of the cargo. By the terms of the charter the freight money was to be paid in gold or silver, in New York, but the legal tender law having passed after the contract he re fused to pay gold and silver dollars, which the coi tract called for in words, and offered to pay in greet backs. He went to the court and got the judgment of the court to establish what he considered to Se the law. Why havel read that decision?

The Late Fiasco ef Santa Anva—His Plan Instructions to His Emissary, MEXICO, Sept. 29, 1868, I forward the plan of Sante Anna for the recone struction of Mexico and his instructions to General Del Bosque, They excited the laughter of Congress, and will no doubt arouse @ feeling of contempt in the States for the old dotard hero, i Cosme Padilla brings the documents which have been published in regard to apd the proclamation of Santa Anna. He has been imprisoned, and it is not yet positively known whether be bas been actually employed in the interest of the government asa secret agent, or whether he nas turned State’s evi- dence, 1 send the plan of Santa Anna. Some of the Mexican papers say they cannot reconctie the order of the Queen of Spain of the 16th of June last in re- gard to filibusters with this late affair of Santa Anna. It is reported, however, that Lersundi haa ordered Santa Anna out of Cuba, The Revolutionary Pinu of Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, ‘The following are the instructions to which Mr. José del Bosque will subject himself on the mission with which he has been entrusted:— 1, As goon as the said General Bosque shal! occupy one or more towns or cities of the national territory he shail proclaim the adjoined plan, without any alteration, with all the solemnity possible, and he will aid the adherents of public order with ail the means im his power, that they may make those demonstrations which patriotism inspires, 30 as to commence the movement in favor of the plan and the new order of things, &¢. 2, He will endeavor to make the revolution pleas- ing to the people—making it acceptable by means of prudent measures, and making it in harmony with Justice and the legitima‘e interests of the people. He will be careful to represent that itis one of the principal objects of the revolution to moratize the country, in contradistinction from the vandalizing revolutions, called liberal, which have had for their aim personal gain, aud the breaking of the bonds of order, morality and justice, and which has caused them to lose prestige before their trimaph, and which triumph it retarded. 4, At the same time he will endeavor, on his part, to give unity to the revolution, without which his triumph would be indefinite, 5. AS soon as cities or towns shall be occupied, civil, military and police authorities shall be nau managing as far as possible that they bo proper per- sons. 6. He will cause these said authorities to subject themselves and this same general will subject him, self to the imperial legislation in power as to civil and political branches of government. In extraor- dinary cases he will act according to the best erite- rion in general practice. 7. He will recognize General Antonio Saboada aa my representative in all those cases involving the welfare of the nation. 8, Reports will be made to me of the progress of the revolution, &c., communications being directed Ld this, my accidental residence, or wherever | may PLAN. Whereas the constitution of 1857, with which it is proposed to govern the nation, is impracticable, be- cause it makes the Executive powerless under cir- cumstances where energy and unity of action are necessary, for the extirpation of those seeds of dis- organization which forty-seven years of revolution have scatter! broadcast; Whereas the above mentioned constitution is changeable in the principles which it establishes, de- paving, persons and corporations of civil and po- litical rights, at the same time that it proclaims prin- ciples further advanced than equality, liberty, political and religious tolerance; Whereas the impracticability of this constitution, occasioned by the rising against Comonfort im 1853, the empire in 1863, its violation by Don Benito Juarez in the issuing of the last convocation in 1367, and whereas, since its promulgation by it and through it, a true poetane. has been enforced, not only by the President, but by the Governors of the States, making all government, order and public peace impossible; Whereas Benito Juarez is wanting in the legal character required by the above mentioned constitu- tion, which he boasts of defending, his performing the functions of President since November 30, 1866, his convocation and his election are a flagrant viola~ tion of the constitution itself, and therefore he has no title by which to rule the republic. ‘Whereas the present political and social situation of the nation is insufferable, because the constitu- tion of 1867 and the person actually ruling have broken, with insolent contempt, all of those bonds which bind us to that sacred religion which our fore- fathers left us and to civilized nations, placing Mex- ico in open war with them and reducing her to that insulation which pertains to barbarism; wire the fictutious minority triumphing over the suffering majority, Mexico’s best sons are the victims ot hatred and revenge, and each day makes it more uae that a government should be erected which shall be @ rigorous observer of justice and a conciliator, and which, consulting the religious, social and political Interests of Mexicans, as also their traditions and customs, whatever je the isgen- political opinions, ge Pagal to oblivion ail sions and reunite the interrupted relations with foreign Powers, of whose friendly solicitude for her prosperity and independence Mexico has such un- equivocal and constant proofs, to obtain and con- solidate which this is the only means; ‘Whereas all of the polit! parties which in their turn have ruled and governed have failed to satisfy the legitimate and reasonable aspirations of the na- tion, and undeniable proofs of which are the frequent revolutions which have followed these same parties, thereby rehearsing all the systems of government known; yet although each have consummated some reforms which might be made useful by a wise gov- ernment and one observing justice rigorously, ex- pargating such as are incompatible with the educa- ion, religious belief and the comfort of the Mext- can le and whatever alarms or injures public and Christian morals; Whereas in order to realize so lofty and just as- pasion, the nation ought to select a leader of meri- rious and known antecedents, and one who has encountered no hatred during the occurrences of the last five years, for the purpose of removing all fear of vengeance, reprisals and retroaction of any governmental order, which the nation and which bo gel have condemned; and whereas, Snaily, Person can be none other than his Excellency Don Antonio Lopez de Santa Annta, General Bene- merito, the only living monument now left to us from the conquest of our independence, and whose valor, patriotism and self denial have been a thou- sand times proven im those t crises through which the nation has passed’ not only in its civil wars, but in those which it has been obliged to sus- tain with foreign Powers, being also known as the only leader who has been able to give peseecsentiiny to the public authority at home and dt who will offer tees to all nations which ie held good relations with Mexico, and reunite ad- vantageously without disgrace to our national de- corum the common interests of ail—we have deter- mined to prociaim the follow.ng and to call the nation to second the followlag political plan:— ARTICLE 1.
