THE ELECTIONS. —_ + Tabulated Statement of the Popu- lar Majorities and Electoral Votes for President. The Returns of the Vote in the City—- Havemeyer’s Plurality 5,063. Returns from All Parts of the Country. THE ELECTORAL VOTE. _ ‘The following table represents the electoral vote and the estimated popular majorities necording to the latest returns received up to the hour of going to press this morning. On comparison the figures below show that Grant’s majorities have been increased to a considerable extent since the estimates of Tues- day. The President's majority in California it is expected will reach 10,000 and in Kansas 30,000. ‘The latest figures at hand from Mary- Jand show a decrease in the estimated majority for Greeley ; in Kentucky also the coalition ‘vote appears to have been overestimated. Vir- ginia appears to be still in doubt, though the republicans claim the State by more than 3,000 for the administration, with several republican Congressmen. In Alabama the people are becoming excited. The democrats have expe- zienced considerable losses and it is thought the republican State ticket has been elected by small majority. Greeley, it is stated, ran slightly behind the State ticket. Advices “from Tennessee show that of the recent stumping trio Maynard has been elected Congressman at Large, completely distancing ex-President Andy Johnson and beating Cheatham by several thousands, The enor- "mous majority of 45,000 is reported for Gen- eral Grant in the city of Philadelphia alone, being ten thousand more than the entireState gave for Hartranft in October. i The Vote for Grant.

A calm review oi the position brought the philosophic mind, and it was seen that there could be very little dis- placement in the resent city executive Without special legislation. Mayor Hall has ap- pointed to all the commissions, and these appoint- ments at sent are good in ore instance for several ye My. Havemeyer will have the ronage of the Mayor's office to dispose of, but that is of a comparatively insignificant character. With & republican Legislature, it thought by some of the more experienced poiiticians that either a new charter would be passed or a modification of the present one would become law. Either of these events would give patronage to the Mayor, and, of course, there was the natural expectation that that would be distributed among the dominant party. All this formed the pabulum for speculation among the loungers and office. holders, and served to turn the current of thought from the stupendous defeat of the election day. There was some discussion as to what the tlection expenses of Mr. O’Brien were, and it was said by one of the Aldermen who had been re- elected that the assessment for all the Aldermen on the Apollo Hall ticket was $2,000 each, In ad- dition to this assessment O'Brien spent @ large sum, and there seemed to be a general impression that O’Brien was a far poorer man now than when he went into the Sheriff's office. The Aldermanic Vote will insure a democratic President, and Mr. Peter Gilsey is talked of as likely to be the Alderman selected. He has a reputation for integrity, which is well deserved, and has great energy and determination. Mr. Vance, who would have been elected if the republicans had been in the majority, will Probably have the Chairmanship of the Finance Committee. Mr. Plunkitt claims that he is at the head of the ticket and that he has 2 the largest number of votes, If so he will be en- titled to the refusal of one of these offices, It is too early to speculate as to the clerkships of either Boards of Aldermen, but the present incumbents are both experienced men and will undoubtedly be retained, NEW JERSEY.

ALABAMA. Great Excitement Over the Election— Large Republican Gains—Greeley Ran Behind the State Ticket. MonraommEry, Ala., Nov. 7, 1872. Great and feveriah interest has been mani- fested for the past two days in the recent State election, which ts even yet in doubt. The republican gain ig unexpectedly large in the northern counties. The democratie gains and losses are computed on the basis of the Smith and Lindsay v of 1870, and foot up as follows :—Gains, 6,500; losses, 10,500, This embraces unofiicial returns from twenty-eight: polling considerab! more than the vote in the State, and indicates. the election of the republican State ticket by a small majority. Greeley ran Sughtly behind the State ticket. The Legislature is doub' ful, but the democrats claim a small majority in both Houses, For Congress, Sloss and Caldwell, from the Fiftn and Sixth districts, are certainly elected. Handley (Gemocras seems to be defeated in the Third by Pelham (republican), Bromberg (liberal) is elected from the t district by 2,000 majority. ARKANSAS. The “Bloody” State tor Grant by from 2,000 to 3,000—Baxter (Rep.) for Gov- ernor, and Two Republican Congress- men Probably Elected. Lirt.e Rocx, Nov. 7, 1872. Baxter (rep.), for Governor, is reported to have majorities in tne following counties:—Jefferson, 2,300; Philips, 3,030 ; Mississippi, 450; Randolph, 125; Independence, 200; Clark, 200; Woodruff, 200; Jackson, 100; Arkangas, 80; Crittenden, 1,600; Union, 600; Perry, 100, Most of these are large negro counties, Brooks (dem.) for Governor, has the following majorities:—Po.aski, 100; St. Thomas, 55; Prairie, 54; Conway, 500; Hot Springs, 390; ites, 1,200; Craighead, 400; Cross, 250; Ouachita, a tic. Nevada, Columbia and Drew give Brooks majorities of about 1,000, « The indications are that Baxter is elected, and that the State has gone for Grant by 2,000 or 3,000. The Legislature is republican, Asa Hodges (rep.) is probably elected to Congress in the First district, 0. P.

From the returns received here by the Repub- lican State Central Committee it 1s estimated that Grant's majority in the State will be 30,000, ATCHISON, Nov. 7, 1872. Grant’s majority in Atchison county is 591, The republican State ticket has about the same major- ity. Donephan county gives Grant 1,000 majority; Brown county, 760 majority; Nebraska, 630; Mar- shall county, 700; Washington county, 600; Jackson 400 majority; Jefferson county, 800, Every county north of the Kai river will give Grant a majority rangin; mm 130 to 1,200; ‘egatin, Tier we ance 200; aggregating KENTUCKY. eerste Republicans Carry Four of the Ten Con- gressional Districts—The State Conceded to Greeley by About Ten Thousand. LOUISVILLE, Nov. 7, 1872, The returns are still very meagre, but enough have been received to indicate that the republicans have carried four of the ten Congressional districts. Four are certain for the democrats and two are doubtful. Burnt ue is elected to Congress in the Tenth district an ‘ood (rep.) in the Ninth. The Eighth is not. certain, but the indications are in favor of Dunham (dem.). The republicans concede nd as gone for Greeley by from 7,000 to LOUISIANA. citi Republican Losses Reported—The State Certain for the Liberals. New ORLEANS, Nov. 7, 1872, Unofficial returns from thirty-seven parishes outside of New Orleans give a net republican ma- jority of 9,634, The net republican majority in 1870 in the sam< wishes was 18,156. The remaining sixteen parishes in 1870 gave @ net republican ma- a of 1,216. With the same ratio of gains the liberals will carry the State by a \dsome majority.

NASHVILLE, Nov. 7, 1872. ? Reports of the election received here from demo- cratic and republican sources make the Congres- sional delegation stand as follows:— Dist. 1—R, R, Butler, rep. 2—James Thornburg, rep. 3—William Crutchfield, rep, 4—Jonbn M, Bright, dem. 6—Horace Harrison, rep. bbs, rep. i—J. D. C. Atkins, dem, 8—David R, Munn, rep. 9—Barbour Lewis, rep. For the State at Large—Horace Maynard, rep. If subsequent figures make no changes the dete- gation will stand eight republicans to two demo- crats. It was not expected the republicans would carry under the Apportionment law more than two districts. The democrats do not yet pire, up Whitthorne in the Sixth district, though they con- cede the election of Maynard. Returns trom Mid- dle and West Tennessee show that Brown (liberal), for Governor, has lost heavily upon his vote in 1870, and fears are entertained in democratic quarters that he has been beaten. The republicans expected no such result and are as- tonished at the prospect. Brown’s losses in Willidmson, Giles, Cheatham, Madison, Lauder- dale, Hardeman, Mane, Henry, Shelby, David- son, De Kalb, Smith and Lincoln counties amount to 10,000; while Freeman _ (republican), for Governor, makes a gain of 1,000 in Haywood. If the same relative loss is kept up in Middle and West Tennessee, Brown may be overwhelmed by Freeman’s majority in East Tennessee. The ré- pClseae have made eg 3D gains in the Legislature, ut there ia nothing definite yet as to the com- plexion of that body. VERMONT. The Episzootic Keeping Back the Ree turns. MONTPELIER, Nov. 7, 1872. The horses in the State are all sick, and mails, except by railroad, nearly all suspended. Hence it hae to give anything like a full vote of the ate yel VIRGINIA. A Great Revolution in the State tics=Grant Supposed to Have Thousand Majority—Republican gressmen Elected. RIcnMOND, Nov. 7, 1872. Full county returns come in slowly, but from offl- cial and unofficial reports it appears that in forty- two counties and three cities Grant has gained about 12,000 on the Walker majority of 1869, leaving about 7,000 to overcome in the remaining fifty-seven counties. The republicans are now claiming the State by from 3,000 to 5,000, The heavy gains eae to-day indicate a very markgd cl fas in the aspect of the Congressional delegation. It is now claimed by the republicans that they have not only elected their Representa- tives in the Second, Third and Fourth districts, but also in the Leak b ders and Sixth, leaving only the Seventh, Eighth and Ninth for the democrats, There is, however, doubt in regard to the First, Fourth and Sixth districts. Aspecial to the Dispatch from Lynchburg says that Whitehead (demovrat) is elected in the Sixth district by 200 majority. In P/tayivania and Henry counties the republican gain is 469. These counties are inthe Fifth district, in which the contest be- tween Davis (democrat) and Thomas (republican) is doubtiul. jomas telegraphs that he is elected.

Here and in New England the custom is of but recent date, REPORTER—Do you approve of it ? General Dix 3 1 do not favorit.

RePoRtER—Do you think that the entire vote of the Catholic Insh was concentrated upon Kernan? General Dix—No;I suppose not.

REPORTER—Will this election wipe out the demo» cratic party? General Drx —It looks to me 80.

General Dix—Yes; I think after this tremendous victory there is no doubt that the republican party will continue to live. As for this State election, I believe my majority is almost the largest that 4 candidate for Governor of New York ever received, REPORTER—Was not Hoffman clected by a larger majority? General Dix (speaking still with great delibera- tion) —No, Ithink not. I think Seymour was elected by some 60,000 majority, I have not the exact fig- ures, but that is my impression.

ReronTER—And in regard to the Governor's par- doning power ? General Dix—I think there has been very little complaint under Hoffman. There seems to be an impression that the pardoning power is used more sparingly in Europe than it is here, [ think the main difference that I noticed when I was Minister to France was this:— In this country every case is very carefully exam- ined into, and see a Sp in Europe, whenever there is a marriage of a prince or @ birth of a prin- cess, Or any other august occasion of the sort, there seems to be a general jaildelivery.
