The administration republicans, judging from the yeturns received up to three A. M. ,have carried mnsylvania, Ohio and Nebraska by decisive ma- ities. Indiana is yet in doubt, and it may be the official count can alone decide which party been victorious in the struggle. The majority @f the republican Congressmen in the four States ve been elected. We annex the returns so far as received at the hour of going to press, together with such inci- ‘gents of the day as are interesting to the public at The chief interest of the entire country seemed to have centred in Pennsylvania, inasmuch as it hhas been considered that as that State went at this @lection 80 would the Presidential election be .de- elded—for Grant or Greeley. Both parties had up feo yesterday claimed the State, and this fact lent a peculiar interest to the contest. ‘Te day was unusually fine in all parts of the @ountry where the elections were held, anda very Beavy vote was polled. ni PENNSYLVANIA. , Owing to the meagre accounts so far received Jrom Pennsylvania we are unable to give the full vote cast in each town by the two parties.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 8, 1872. Philadelphians with one accord betook them- selves to the Union League House to-night to the number of 35,000. Al the available room was taken up by the members of the League and the repub- lican managers. Broad street from Walnut to Chestnut, was ABSOLUTELY PACKED. and the sea of faces that turned toward the il- luminated bulletin was something without pre- cedent in the annals of the Quaker City. McClure and THE LIBERALS GAVE UP THE FIGHT at eight o’clock. They saw plainly at that hour that the republican majority in the city alone amounted to more than they could hope to overcome by the tota. Buckalew’s majority in the county. After this the whole interest of the city centered in the Union League House, where your represen- tative betook himself. He found the entrance blocked by THE CROWD, to such an extent that it became almost impossible | to reach the door. Once in, the scene presented beggared description. All the great lights of re- publicanism in the city had assembled, ex- changing congratulations and mingling in the applause as successive majorities were announced. Russell Errett read the despatches as they were re- ceived and passed them over to Sam Bell, who transferred them to the transparency operators outside. Seated at the table with Errett was General Bingham, Postmaster and now Clerk oj the Court of Quarter Sessions, GENERAL HARTRANFT, newly elected Governor of the Commonwealth smiling and modestly receiving the congratulations that were heaped upon him all the evening; Francis Wells, Isaac Hazlehurst, McMichael, Coles- berry, Jay Cooke, Jr., and George B, Thomas Stanton. In the corridors and parlors of the house large crowds assembled and discussed THE UNEXPECTED MAJORITIES and congratulated one another on the success of the entire ticket. The crowds in the street were wild with enthusiasm, As each successive majority was announced and the victory became more and more overwhelming, the feelings of the people be- came all the more intense and they passed from one degree of enthusiasm to another with all the facility generated by victory, Whena CARICATURE OF GREELEY falling between two steols and asking, ‘Did I hear thunder ?? was sandwiched between the majority announcements on the transparency. The crowd became wild with enthusiasm and delight. Hart- ranft was the coolest man in the League house, while others seemed to be out of their heads with excitement, THE NEW GOVERNOR calmly figured up his majorities, and deigned only an occasional smile. The. Allen was in the city bright and early this morning, with a select crowd of his retainers, and got in his work at the polls with his accustomed assurance, REPEATERS VOTED in the name of gentiemen whom it was supposed business might keep away from the polls. In one instance, a gentleman, whose name had been thus freely used came to deposit his vote in the Thir- teenth ward and was summarily biack-jacked by one of Allen’s gang. ROUNDERS FLOURISDED their money in open deflance of public opinion and and the law, and woe betide a man who dared threaten them with the consequences of their acts, But for ali this the election was singu- larly free from riotous proceedings. But one fight Occurred during the day, and that in the notorious Fourth ward and between a couple of negroes. Nothing more serfous tnan a slight cotting re- sulted to either. L, D, Shoemaker (rep.) has been elected to Con- grese from the Twelfth district. Negley (republican) is elected to Congress by 9,000 majority. Harmer (republican) is re-elected in the Fifth district by 2,500 majority. The Vote of Philadelphia. The following is tee vote of Philadelphia, as far as heard from up to the time of going to press:— Hart- Bucka- — range, lew. —- i caieiclil ce im Philadelphia— A Colored Man Wounded—Several Arrests. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Oct. 8, 1872, ‘The only disturbance to-day was at the corner of Seventh and Lombard streets, Two men were quarrelling when a shot was fired from a liquor store and a colored man wounded. The police made several arrests. The New Governor—Ho About Curtin, McClure gratitude and Treachery of the War Governor—Philadelphia Ablaze with Excitement. PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 8—12:45 A. M. Thave had a talk with the new Governor of Penn- sylvania, He says:—‘The effect of this day’s work wit give Grant a majority of 100,000 in this State.” This is 60,000 better than Forney gives, Referring to Curtin, the Governor says:—‘“‘I have always been CURTIN’S FRIEND, and have helped him on two or three very important oocasions, In 1869 he sent for me meet him at William B. Mann's office and proposed to have me then accept the nomination for Governor. I did not want it then. The main condition of his proposal was that I should be his man. This was all right. I did not expect to be the friend of any one else to Curtin’s exclusion; but the State was very close then and I did not care for the nomination. Curtin has ACTED VERY BADLY * towards me in this fight.’” I informed Governor Hartranft that Curtin had said publicly in his speeches and privately to myself that he entertained no feelings of personal hostility, but this opposition arose from the fact that he (Hartran{t) was the nominee of a corrupt ring. The Governor merely smiled at my explanation of Curtin’s course, and continued :— “McClure has acted more honorably than either Forney or Curtin in the fight. He was my warm friend when I was nominated, and continued to re- main so until he left, because he was obliged to do 80, to fight Grant.” Curtin is condemned in unmeas- ured terms by all his former friends, and accused on all sides of treachery to those who have helped to elevate him in former years. Curtin and Forney are TWO DEAD DUCKS POLITICALLY, If republican prognostications are to be belleved, McClure cannot be killed, He never dies for more than a week at a time, and we will see him with a winning crowd yet. Forney begins to feel the force of what Andy Johnson said of him to-night, and hereafter Texas Pacific Railroad affairs. will possess a good deal more interest than ordinary railroad aifairs. At this hour, tweive o'clock, there is still a large crowd at the League House and the excitement is unabated, THE GOVERNOR GIVES SOME NEWS. Governor Hartranft made a short speech, thank- ing his friends and commending the republican party. He ended by affirming the party to be stronger than ever. Reports from Ohio are very cheering to the republicans. Late despatches claim 20,000 majority in that State, and the state- ment {s again on the rise, ‘The streets are lined with TORCHLIGHT PROCESSIONS, and from present appearances people will get over the effect of the overwheliing majorities only with the advent of the light of day. Throughout all the excitement I hear of but few disturbances, and none of them of a serious nature, OHIO. f spice Returns Coming in Slowly—Probable Republitan Majority, 10,000—Liberal Gains. CoLumBvs, Ohio, Oct. 8, 1872. Returns come in slowly and no full counties are as yet heard from. publican majority of 10,000, Hurd, democrat, 18 probably elected to Congress trom the Toledo dis- trict, as he gets over 1,200 in that city democratic gain, Jewett, democrat, from Central district, has about 5,000 majority. Grecley Gains in Cincinnati-The Elec- tion Passes OfF Without Disturbance— Our Colored Brethren on Their Good Behavior—Little Betting and Not Much Enthusiasm. CINCINNATI, Ohio, Oct. 8, 1872. Contrary to public expectation in tnis city, on ac- count of the negro attack on a Greeley procession last night, the election passed off to-day without any notable violation of peace or breach of law and order, The election was very spirited at all the polls and indications are that a full vote is polled, Returns will be siow, but the popular impression is that the lMbveral republicans have carried the county by a fair majority, The | republicans, on the other hand, claim the State from the fact that the liberal majority is so much smaller than they expected that the latter concede the victory. The negroes were on their best be- havior, and, although challenged at the polls in some instances in a very provoking manner, they possessed their souls in patience and voted like men, but since the coffee houses opened after six o'clock there are crowds of drinkers and loud talkers at the bars with some small betting on general re- sults, Returns from Twenty Townships Show a Republican Gain of 545, Coumpus, Ohio, Oct. 8, 1872, Warren City, Trambull county—Three wards give Wikof, republican, Wiley, democrat, 269, | Returns received from twenty townships in various counties of the State show a net repub | lican gain over the majority for Secretary of State, | in 1870, of 548 votes, ‘Two of these townships show @ democratic gain of twenty votes. Scattering Accounts of the Voting—A Few Specimen -ounties, CriNcInnaT!, Ohio, Oct. 8, 1872, The following returns have been received. They are, of course, very incomplete, and are but a faint indication of the result of the contest:— —For Secretary af State. Wik Counties and Towns. Wiley (Rep.) (Dem.)

CINCINNATI, Oct, 8, 1872, UnoMclal reports coming in from the city show steady democratic gains. ‘The indications are that Banning (liberal), for Congress, is elected in the Second Ohio district, Hamilton county has probably gone largely democratic on most of the candidates. More Detached Returns—Two Liberal Congressmen Handsomely Elected. CINCINNATI, Oct. 8, 1872. The Nineteenth ward of Cincinnati gives Banning, for Congress, 610 majority. The First precinct of the Twenty-fourth ward gives Hayes (rep.), for Congress, 61 majority. The Seventeenth ward gives Hayes 208 majority. The democrats claim Banning’s election over Hayes in the Second district by 600 to 1,200 majority, and Sayler (dem.) over Eggleston in the First dis- trict by trom 2,000 to 8,000 majority. Precautions Against a Riot—The Police Interpose Between the Negroes and Pos- sible Assailants. * CINCINNATI, Ohio, Oct. 8, 1872, The whole police force is out to-night to prevent riot or disorder. A strong force 1s patrolling the eastern part of the city, known as Bucktown, and has possession of the colored armory, where the Greeley procession was fired on last night. The negroes are keeping indoors, because they are de- prived of their muskets, and the Irish ditto because they think the negroes are armed. Returns from two precincts and one ward, that gave a large re publican majority when the city went democratic, now go liberal republican with considerable gain. Gains and Reverses—Liberal Gains in Cincinnati and Cleveland, but the Re- bublican Ticket Elected by 10,000 Ma- jority. CINCINNATI, Oct, 8, 1872, The largest vote ever polled in the State has been cast to-day. Everything has been quiet and both parties have worked hard in this city and county. The liberals and democrats have elected every- thing. Eggleston ana Hayes, republican, are both defeated by on ds and Banning, liberals; but in other parts of the State, especially the northern part, republican gains are reported. Itis safe tosay tha’ the general ticket of the republicans may have a ma- jority of nearly 10,000. This county gives nearly four thousand for the general liberal ticket, and from Cleveland a reduction of the usual reform majorities is noted, In Mr. Bingham’s district his successor is reported to be running behind his ticket, as also is Parsons in the Cleveland district. Owing toa general law of the State requiring all tickets to be reported entire it will be impossible to give but few accurate returns to-night, Reportof the Vote in Hamilton County— istimated Majority of 8,000. CINCINNATI, Oct. 8. Nineteen wards and precincts in Hamilton county show a democratic and liberal gain over the spring election of 711, A corresponding increase would make the democratic and liberal majority in the Congressional vote fully 4,000, The Ohio Majority Swelling to Larger Proportions—Fifteen Thousand Claimed by the Administration—Elected Repub- lican Congressmen. CoLumBus, Ohio, Oct. 8, 1872. Partial returns from half of the counties in the State show republican gains of 3,000 over the vote of Hayes in 1871, when the republican ma- jority reached 20,000. ‘This will be reduced by democratic gains in Hamilton, Lucas and Cuya- hoga counties, leaving the republican majority not less than fifteen thousand in the State. At the re- publican headquarters it 1s claimed reported and unreported gains will leave the majority about as last year. The following districts elect republican members to Congress :— Third district—Jonn Q. Smith. Fourth district—L. B, Gunckle. Sixth district. Sherwood, Eighth district—William Lawrence, Ninth district—James W. Robinson. ‘Tenth district—Charles Foster. Eleventh district—H. 8, Bundy, Fifteenth district—W. P. te lad Sixteenth district—L. Danford. | Seventeenth district—L. D. Woodworth. Eighteenth district—James Monroe, Nineteenth district—J. Garfield. Twentieth district—R. C.

Thi teenth—M, J, Southard, Fourteenth—John Berry. INDIANA. No Complete Returns—News from Half a Dozen Towns. INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 8, 1872, The election returns so far are very meagre, The ticket is very long and returns are received only from small precincts, The vote is very close. it will be late before a correct estimate can be made. One precinct In St. Joseph county gives Brown, republican, for Governor, 207 majority. White River township, Randolph county, gives Brown 395 majority, « mocrat, for Governor, 110 majority, Guildford township gives Brown 450 majority, Heavy Liberal Majority In Clark County, Indiana, LovisviLig, Ky., Oct, 8, 1872, | Clark county, Indiana, gives about 800 majority | for Hendricks; Floyd about 1,000, and Scott about | 260. a | Republican Gain of Eight Hundred in | Thirty Towns—No Reliable Indications of the Contest, INDIANAPOLIS, Oct, 8, 1872, continue to oome in slowly. About thirty towns and townships from give the republicans a gain of about 800 on the vote of 1870, Brown's majority in Randolph county is estimated at 1,800, In Howard township and Howard county the de- mocrats gain 30, The democrats gain 133 in Rich- mond city. In Concord township, Elkhart county, the republican gain is 127. The republicans gain 13 in Cambridge city. The returns NEBRASKA, ecient Republican Victory by 5,000 Majority on Their Entire Ticket—A Liberal Stronghold Captured. OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 8, 1872, The elections passed off quietly, a full vote was polled. The republican State and Congressional ticket was elected by about 5,000 majority. This (Douglass) county, considered a liberal stronghold, gives a republican majority of about 10% New Haven, Allen county, gives Hendricks, de- | heard | AT THE HEADQUARTERS. Scenes at the National Committee Rooms—Receiv- ing the Despatches—Allen, Chandler and Banks Under Trying Circumstances. - During the day comparative quiet reigned at all the headquarters, Everybody looked gloomy. The Fifth Avenue, Glenham and Spingler did not feel anything like confidence in the result either way. There were a few visitors at the Fifth Ave- nue who spoke in dismal whispers, and intimated im an unhappy sort of way that they didn’t doubt the resuit—that they had confidence in the virtue and integrity of the people, and so forth. Mr, Crandler, with the unshaken cheerfulness that was his even in the first dark hours of North Carolina, chirped about the softly carpeted rooms of THE FIFTH AVENUR HEADQUARTERS, induigthg in safe predictions and uninspiring sug- gestions of success. Ex-Governor Morgan and Judge Pierrepont dropped in and expressed them- selves gratified at the promise of the earlier tele- grams, which, however, did not promise much. Here are some of them received before dark:— PHILADRLPHIA—11 A. M. The indications are that Hartranit’s jority at the ten o'clock count will be about five thousand in the State, PittspuRG—12 M. Ever {hing is well and the Germans are not crate! jartranft. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.—10 A, M. Reports from all parts of the State encouraging. Full vote and unparalleled interest on both sides, PHILADELPHIA—1 P. M, Majority at twelve o'clock over ten thousand, Even these despatches were seized upon as en- couraging by the Grant men up to the hour of noon, There was a general feeling of interest and anxiety, however, and when JOHN MORRISSEY, in all his diamonds and stufted breeches pockets, sauntered as a strange visitor into the rooms and intimated that somebody would probably like to In- Vest dollars on the faith of those telegrams, he found no willing takers, AT THE GLENHAM during the afternoon there was a beggarly account of empty boxes. Allen was on hand, hopeful and cheery, full of mysterious suggestions from some- body in Philadelphia, who knows, you know, and Everts lolied around somewhat unhappy over an early despatch from McClure to the effect that re" peating was going on under the protection of the Police; but the vue d'ensemble throughout the after- noon was one of complacent cheerfulness and con- fident reliance upon the virtue and integrity of the people and so forth, AT THE SPINGLER a similar sentiment prevatied, until it seemed rea- sonable to suppose that if the contest were left alone to the virtue and integrity of the people, and so forth, both tickets would be elected in each State by overwhelming majorities. Thus the mat- ter rested throughout the afternoon, and busy New York ceased its business at sundown utterly unin- formed as to the possibilities or probabilities of the great events in either State. EARLY AFTER SUNDOWN groups collected, hungry for news, about the various headquarters, At the Splngler knots of respectable old gentlemen stood on the sidewalk and discussed the possibilities with a serious air, most of them confident that Pennsylvania would go for Buckalew, some of them pretty sure of Ohio, and all of them certain of Indiana, Major Banks, the Secretary of the National Com- mittee, announced very quietly to the HERALD to be mistaken nor inclined to be led 3 enthusiasm, which said that Pennsyl- ‘as sure to go for Buckalew b; A VERY HANDSOME MaJortty, and on the strength of the despatch the Major an- nounced his desire to bet $60 to $59 on the resuit, ashe could not get any more $100's to $50, which had been pretty freely offered during the day. No other despatches were received of much importance until later in the evening, when the Spingler rooms were very densely crowded and the occupants were very densely juddled by the spiriticss tenor of the advices telegraphed them, and by eleven o'clock most of the enthusiasts had retired, convinced that there were lew things 1m the world more heartrending than adverse elec- tion returns, not ely away by ht: vania ABOUT THE LAST REMARK ene Ge ae to the HERALD reporter as he saw the rear of the funeral cortége take its sad way to the Broadway sidewalk was this, by a long, lank, decorous-looking old man, who snuffed ani sighed :—‘Well, I won’t have no more confidence in any virtue or integrity of the people any more, | won't”? AT THE GLENHAM there was a dense crowd all evening, thronging the rooms and lobbies and even the rear parlor, where the little niche of a bar is kept. They were eager for news, and felt inclined to condemn the lax arrangements of the committeemen when the despatches did not come in as fast and favorably as they should. ‘They blocked up all the avenues leading to and from the main committee room, and encompassed COLONEL ETHAN ALLEN, the Chairman, so firmly in his place on the long writing table that he could not, if he would, have escaped from the martyrdom of reading the news as it came, Among the distinguished news ex- plorers were General Kilpatrick, whose spirits grew with every disaster, and who finally consoled himself with the assurance that Deckertown, N. J., was safe anyhow; Pro- fessor Jackson, of Tarrytown, whose serene aud happy countenance looks usually as refreshing as a bunch of Malaga grapes, but who had to | shorten and sour it a more the unhappy intel- ligence that he was to carry to Tarrytown; John P. Lindsey, the Custom House investigator, who felt that investigations were a delusion and a snare unless supported by the aforesaid virtue and in- tegrity of tie people and so forth, and a RATHER AGGRESSIVE CROWD of Grant men, who drank frequently at the har, and in the very height of the disastrous news that showered in from the opposition stereoscopticon, | proposed to go down to the Zrivune office and | serenade the “Professor” with a barrel organ to | the tune of “Up ina Balloon.” Among the Grant men present was MR. A. H. LAFLIN, Naval Ofiicer, who, in his anxiety to hear the oppo- | sition news, stood on the handsomely covered | sofas in the Glenham parlors and was ordered | down by a hall boy. and short, One received at about eleven o'clock announced that Buckaiew had carried the State by about five thousand majority, and there was con- siderable courage iniused into everybody for the time being. They clapped hands and shouted, and even said, “T TOLD YOU 80; but the next despatch, announcing that Hartrantt's | majority would not exceed 10,000, rather damped their exuberant spirits, and from this until the close of the polls at midnight it was a rather dismal feast, replete with skeletons, A ‘drib- ble of comfort here and there dropped upon them, such as a@ despatch announcing that there were 2,000 liberal gain over the vote of ‘68 in Cincinnati. These served somewhat to en- liven the ghastly festival, although less gallant | hearts would have been content with not! lesa | than an outpouring. Pennsylvania hopelessly gone, ail anxious eyes were turned upon | OHIO AND INDIANA with little more relief, Even the enemy invaded | the camp and exulted, | “It's another Appomattox," sald one Grant man, who had come over to gloat upon the misery of his | fellows. And another, perching himseif upon one of those handsomely covered sofas of the comuuit- tee room, in the presence of all the still anxtousiy hopeful adherents of the cause, had the temerity | and assurance to announce :— “Gentlemen, Inv name 18 Houston; I do business at 128 Maiden lane. I bet $1,000 Greeley won't carry nine States.” Nobody rebuked him by offering to put ap the money, and if his littie game was “bluff he won it. | UP TO THE WEE SMALL HOURS the party supported itself on the crumbs of com- fort that it received from Ohio and Indiana, and at midnight Pennsylvania and its unseemly course in this pond Struggie, the utter lac! of virtue and integrity in the people and so forth, as a number expressed it. was Jaid in the | grave of the Gepulete as an uncertain State, ceneral Nathaniel P. Banks, who was present all evening, injused unwonted courage into all parties by assuring everybody that Indiana and Ohio were | “SURE AS SHOOTING’? | for the liberals, What the actual result in those | States was the liberals had not found out when | they departed for their virtuous couches, there to | dream of hopes yet unwithered in the farther West. AT THE FIFTH AVENUE HOTEL the solid politicians of the Grant party held high rejoicing all eanke By some favor or other the: | were furnished with voluminous telegrams, which | éheir Jess lucky neighbors could not receive, or did not want, and every two minutes their spines were hoisted above their heads by the good news that Chandler, in a steady voice and with rivging accents, read to them, ‘Tom Murphy was present in high | glee, the only indecorously jovial man im the roou- ful of respectable solidities, and among the rest were Governor Morgan, Judge Pierrepont, A. lin and a number of the highest officials of the re- | publican party of this city. They were not sparing of their exultations through any a for the feelings of the enemy.

How the People Watched and Waited for Elec+ tion Returns—The Feeling at the Hotels and on the Streets—About the Newspaper Offices. An interest of a very intense order, in nowise par- taking of the nature of enthusiasm, pervaded almost all classes of citizens in New York yesterday regard- ing the result of the elections in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana, Of course, the great anxiety was centred in the Keystone state as being the index which most definitely pointed to the fateful ides of November, All day long the question wag passed from lip to lip, ‘Well! what is the news from Pennsylvania?” and this notwithstanding the | fact that years of experience must have taught almost everybody that no definite or even fairly, approximate results can be obtained regarding any election until after sundown. But the query wa: mooted, nevertheless, because it was the uppermost question in the minds of men, and their interest concerning it was so deep that EVEN A CARELESS OPINION, for lack of positive news, was handed around a@ something upon which to hang an idea. The after- noon editions of the newspapers were bought up greedily on street corners and in the cars, in spite | of the fact that about the only information they could possibly contain was the usual commonplace, “Everything is very quiet at the polis, and the in- dications are that a heavy vote will be cast.” Red- ay the Blacksmith was intensely interested on learning the fact that he was arrested in Philadel- | phia about noon for having voted illegally three | times in one ward of the Quaker City. Mr. Varley ‘was in the Fourteenth ward of New York just about that time; but the information was not of a more | Startling nature than was most of that which is usually sent on from Philadelphia concerning the extraordinary doings of those extraordinary men, | New York “repeaters.’’ AT THE HOTELS, There was no excitement visible about the hotel until after six o'clock, when merchants, brokerd and politicians began to look for actual news from, | the scene of operations, and when the day’s busi- ness was s0 disposed of that they might pay more | attention to the returns. Then the vestibules of the Fifth Avenue Hotel, the Grand Central and the Astor House began to assume an air of bustle, and for an hour or two the telegraph operators were | beplened for information when there was none ta ve. As early as seven o'clock, when it was absolutely impossible that even a reasonable idea could be formed as to the result, bets were offered at the Fiftn Avenue Hotel that Hartranft had carried Pennsylvania by eight or ten thousand majority. Of course such offers were born largely of hope and backed up py a desire to turn the opportunity to aioe in the way of | amet alittie. Atten o'clock the feeling was still buoyant that the radicas etar was in the ascendant, although Buckalew’s chances, when the rural counties were heard from, had tended greatly to diminish his opponent's loudly asserted majority. c IN THE ROTUNDA of the Astor House rouee of men sauntered about,’ now pausing to read from the stock telegraph indl- cator, which had been pressed into the servic allay the popular anxiety for news. ** “°** ~ the news that Hartrantt’s majority \ black-bearded man from the West se and read. “T’'ll bet $100 to $50," he remarked confident air, “that there is not a m vania at this hour who can assert tha ‘ Why don’t they send on news, nota politicians’ guesses and conundrums.
