AFTER THE BATTLE. JOY OF THE ANTI-TAMMANY POLITIGIANS—THE VICTORS AND THE VANQUISHED—VIEWS ON THE REORGANIZATION OF TAMMANY. Great animation marked political circles yesterday, especially, and indeed chiefly, in those where anti- Tammany politicians met. Congratulations among the latter were warm in the extreme. On all sides the talk was of the great event of the previous day. It dwarfed all othor subjects of conversation. It was amusing to see so many timid adherents of the Wigwam bewailing their ill-luck in not quitting the sinking ark of Tammany in time and joining the grand army of malcontents, They were quite sure if they had taken this step they would have been nominated and elected, A general feeling of distrust in the: future of Tammany pervaded the democratic ranks, All sorts of speculations were given currency as to the plan for reorganizing the shattered elements of the party, A distinguished politician ofa former era insisted that the only hope for it was to wipe out the name of Tammany Hall altogether and substitute National Hall in its place. Tho existing name emits @ bad odor that nothing can neutralize. ‘This is perceived all over the country. The blow given to Governor Tilden’s chances for a Presidential nomination was “‘a sweet boon,’’ as Artemus Ward might term it, to @ great number of the Governor's traducers, The address made by Jobn Kelly at Tam- many Hall the night of the alartion mat with general A THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1875—TRIPLE SHEET. censure from friend and foe alike, It was so wanting in taste, temper and judgment that people wondered if the man was not for the time being beside himself, In- terviews which were had with some of the successful candidates and various politicians on the event of the hour are here appended, RRCORDER HACKETT was in poor health yesterday, owing to a very severe cold he contracted in driving around the city a few nights ago. He was quite hoarse and had suffered from spitting of blood. He left court about noon and proceeded home. In answer to the questions of the HERD representative he, said:—I expected my ma- jority would be about 20,000. I have had no time to look up the returns this morning, but 1 am told they give me even more than I anticipated. The victory just achieved belongs to the people ana not to any party. It was the triumph of democracy over usurp- ation and despotism. Hereafter the people will have something to be in selecting their repre- sentatives, In the past this not been so. The offices that belong to the people were given away at the behest and caprice of ono man to whomsoever he pleased. The system was un- Ame:ican and dangerous, and when its proper char- acter was exposed it was destroyed. The uprising of yesterday will warn politicians of John Kelly’s stripe that there is a limit they cannot pass. It was taught them before in 1871, but that was looked on as a pho- nomenal exhibition of popular feeling not likely to be ropeated in years. It is now seen that, when properly aroused, the people, despite organizations or leaders, will settle matters for themselves very thoroughly.” * “Do you suppose the local democratic party will suffer any from the divisions in the canvass ?”? “Not atall. Ridof Mr. Kelly, who would insist on imposing his dictum on the party, there is every hope that a better and stronger organization will follow.”” “Great efforts were made to defeat you?” “Every effort possible. Money was freely used in all sorts of ways, and the whole county was deluged with pamphlets and proclamations aimed at me and those who gave me their support. New York cannot be too thankful for having got rid of this iniquitous scheme for controlling its political interests. It isa cheering sign that there is a Iatent power in the com- munity for checking the bad ambition of politicians who seek personal ends to serve and that it is not | aroused in vain’? . BX-SENATOR JAMES O'BRIEN was in a jubilant state of soul yesterday and wherever he went met with warm congratulations, He spent somo time at the Bixby headquarters, in Park row, where the disaffected were wont to rally prior to the recent revolution. Speaking to the Heraub reporter, Mr, O’Brien said that he thought if he had run for Sena- tor he woud have been elected by from 6,000 to 8,000 majority, On bemg asked what he considered the best thing to be done in the present crisis to harmonize the arty and bring all its disintegrated parts together, fe answered, “Let John Kelly take himself out of the way and all will be right again. He is the one ob- struction, There is room for all of us who are demo- crats in Tammany Hall, and with the right way of doing things no man need be compelled to take up his hat and leave because his opinions don’t coincide with whoever claims to be ‘boss,’ We want no boss in Tammany Hail. Bosses don’t suit the democracy. Let every man have a right to his opinion, and if he thinks this or that nomination is not proper, give him liberty to say so, Iam willing, and so are friends of mine, to go back to Tammany Hall when John Kelly steps out and the one man power is ended.” FRANCIS M. BIXBY \ said he never felt better in his life than at tho over- throw of Tammany rule. “I have been working for that result,” he continued, “for the past six years, during the time Tweed ruled Tammany, as well as while it has been under the control of John Kelly, For the last two weeks Ihave been up night and day talking and working, speaking at a meeting ina public hall to a thousand men one night and in a barroom to a group of twenty-five the next. The canvass on our side rested chiefly on the justice of our appeals to the people. We had neither money nor patronage to give. Wo distributed no lying pamphlets about town to prejudice people’s minds against our op- ponents, We teok a stand against personal rule and rsonal aggrandizement in a democracy. Tammany as been nothing more than a machine to exalt and glo- rity Jonn Kelly and Pagar nd public positions for his galaxy of satellites, The people realized this, and the reduction of the laborers’ wages only intensified the feeling against an oligarchy that presumed to meddle with a matter that was entirely out of their juris- diction,” “What, in your 4 Tiga was the motive of reducing the laborers’ wages ?”? “One motive was to strengthen their forces by Rot. ting more men at work and paying each man less t formerly, the other was to court favor with the silk stocking democracy by a show of reform and retrench- ment.” “What are the prospects of a reorganization of Tammany Hall ?”? “*We intend to have no Tammany Hall. Ours is now the democratic organization of the city and county of New York. Tammany no longer exists, After yester- day not ten per cent of its followers will remain with it, We showed a strength that entitles us to be recog- nized as the organization proper. I was elected by anti-Tammany democratic votes, and though indorsed by the republicans got few of their votes, As will be seen, the anti-Tammany vote foots up about 35,000. , That makes a very respectabe showing. Our strength is now established. Tammany may come to us, but we don’t intend to go to anne, Tho fact is there is no Ti y. + was ‘ammany. buried yesterday and we attended the funeral. It was amachine run forthe benefit of John Kelly and his office-seeking friends. As an instance of the utter dis- regard of the people’s rights exhibited by Kelly, three members of the Committee on Discipline were sent to the Senatorial Convention and instructed to dictate to the members the nomination of Everett P. Wheeler, which was dono aceordingly, though a hundred men in that convention asked wonderingly who ‘Everett P, Wheeler might be and where he resided.’ ”” MR. FERNANDO WOOD said he preferred to wait till the smoke of the battle was over before venturing an opinion on the present state of affairs. He thought the late revolution quite a shock, but yet local im its bearings and effect. “I think, after all,” said Mr. Wood, “that it will do good. It certainly will do no harm to the national democratic party. It will make it more itive to the needs of the hour and point out what to do and what to avoid.” “Don’t you think it destroys Governor Tilden as a candidate for President?” “Excuse me,” said Mr. Wood, smiling, ‘I can’t offer an opinion, you know, tll the smoke clears away.” JOHN P. COUGHLAN, formerly member of Assombly and of the Tammany Hall General Committee, spoke enthusiastically of the fight made ‘against the Tammany candidate, Everett P. Wheeler, for Senator in the Eighth Senatorial district. It was much more important in its influence on Tam- many Hall than that in the Fourth Senatorial district, as it determined the results of a six years’ struggle against the rule of the wigwam. When asked if there were not a good many members of the General Com- mittee who were dissatisfied with John Kelly’s manage- ment, and yet afraid to speak their sentiments, because of the dread of being “disciplined,” Mr, Coughlan said :— “There must, of course, be quite a number, but they keep their thoughts to themselves for fear of being expelled. They may denounce Kelly now, as they per- ceive he is going down or has gone down; but they will wait a day or two to see what the Committee on Organization 1s about to do.” “Where does the evil he in the Tammany organiza- tion?” “Phe evil, in my opinion, es in having a secret society of seven sachems, who are the trustees of Tam- many Hall. - The General Committee are only tenants at will, and the trustees can turn them out atany time. John Kelly is the head of the sachems, and any mem- ber who digpleases him can be efected {rom Tammany Hallon his mandate. It ia this secret society that makes @ one-man power possible. If the General Com- mittee had the lease of the Hall, say for a year, with no grand sachems to interfere with them, an autocracy like the present would be impossible.” MR, MORRISSRY’S VIRWS, Hon. John Morrissey, Fox's successor in the Fourth Senatorial district, unqualifiedly condemned the course of ‘Tammany Hall, and claimed that its present leader, John Kelly, had nothing left now but to tender his resignation. Speaking of the election and its conse- quences, he said last evening in the Hoffman House to a HeRaco reporter that he considered the defeat of Tam- many a ip | rebuke to the dictatorial manner in which Mr. Kelly had attempted to control the suffrages of the democratic party in this county, and, he added, noth- ing remains for the beaten chief now but to resign. This, however, Mr. Morrissey did not think he would a though in his estimation nothing better for the ization could happen, as then there would be a chance for the consolidation of the honest remnants of the party in this county. He did not regard tho result of the election as a condemnation of democracy in this city and county; he looked upon it as a distinct ex- pression of the people’s determination to dis- countenance once and forever ‘one man rule,”” The fight was against John Kelly, not against democracy, and the voters would so regard it 4s to the reorgan: ization of Tammany he had hittle to say, because the true men who had remained in the association wero in a measure stunned by the consequences of Mr. Kelly’s arbitrary conduct and had not had time to form any plans for the future. Naturally Sena- tor Morrissey had no knowledge of the course likety to be parsued by them, bat he Sedoe that reorganiza- tion would be impossible without John Kelly's resigna- tion. ‘This view was concurred in by nearly all the demo- crates who left Tammany before the election; but a great many of them did not belteve thatthe vanquished chief would have the good sense to withdraw, even for the association's obvious welfare, James O’Brien and others of that “ ilk’? subscribed to this view, But Alderman Reilly and the other Tammany members **in standing”’ declared that nothing should induce John Kelly to withdraw, They believe, they declare, that Tammavy should not take back any of the malcontents, but rather, for the resent, sink or swim with John Kelly as its leader. Augustus Schell and his friends saw no reason to ex- press any opinion to the contrary. THE BATTLE ONLY BEGUN. It is a great mistake to suppose that now that Hackett has been elected and Kolly defeated the work of breaking down Tammany will stop, On the contrary, leaders like the Hon,’ Thomas Creamer and others openly declared, yesterday, that tho battle had only just begun. “*We shall only consider our misston accomplished,’ aid Mr. Creamer, ‘‘when all connection between the Tammany Society and the Tammany General Committee shall have ceased, and when the latter shall have been reconstructed in such @ manner as to give a free representation of the ntiro veople,’ To show the despotism which, under the present system, was possible M. Creamer stated it as a fact that the majority of Kelly’s own General Committee were in favor of Hackett’s re-election; that nine-tenths of them were opposed to the reauction of the laborers’ wages, and that more than one-half were opposed to the expulsion of Morris- sey. Mr. Creamer (his bright and characteristic faco flushing with pride) said:—“I have worked so hard in my district against Kelly that I did not allow Tammany to elect a single man in it” When asked as to what he thought ‘of the vote, Mr. Creamer expressed his surprise at the number of votes given for Tammany, and, with honest indignation, he exclaimed:—‘I did not expect that there were so many slaves here tied to the Tammany power—so many voters that could be bought! At least 10,000 of the Tammany votes were bought by their ward leaders, and the money was subscribed by promt- nent, democrats, some of whom are high in office this very day, I shall charitably spare them the odiuth of exposure, I know from my own experience that in tho Fourteenth Assembly district $5 was paid for every vote that could be bought.” Mr, Creamer concluded by saying that he wished it to be distinctly understood that he did not fight Kelly alone, but the Tammany Sachem power, and that ho would not rest until that secret body had lost all control over the General Com- mittee, He did not believe, however, that at present many would “bolt” from Tammany, “for where are they to go to?” he asked. VIRWS OF JOUN KELLY. John Kelly, whatever his political faults may be, is certainly an’ extremely amiable man. That good- natured broad face of his beams upon all mankind (in- clusive of the reporters). His grip is always warm, tho tone of his voice mild and pleasant. 1t has often been noticed that the greatest political dictators are the most mild mannered and apparently the most milk-and-water sort of men, as though they would hide behind their smiling faces their dangerous and deadly ambition. Bismarck is said to be such a man; John Keily is another, Yesterday afternoon the’ fallen em, was going down to the basement of the Tammany building, where the Committee on Organization hol@ their meetings, when his eye suddenly lighted upon the eager visage of a HERALD special, who had been despatched to feel the political pulse of His Defunct Majesty the ex-Czar of New York, in order to ascertain how much longer he would strug- gle against his fate betore giving up the ghost and mak- ing his Onal bow to the political world, It is said that the tiger’s eyes at the moment preceding the des- perate leap at his human antagonist denotes his pur- pose in an unmistakable manner, and so there must be something similarly suggestive in the expression of the interviewer which tells that he comes for an interview, for John Kelly did not wait for the reporter’s approach, No, he took in the situation at a glance. “How do you ao?” he said to the scribe, extending his hand in a cordial manner and smiling as pleasantly as though Hackett had beon defeated by 50,000 ma- jority. ‘The reporter said, “Very well, thank you,” and re- turned the polite inquiry. “I feel good,” said John Kelly, with a broad laugh. “But look here, you need’nt ask me anything from the Heratp. The likkap will never get a word out of me, none of them from the chief editor down to the last reporter!” Several of the delegates who stood round him and heard this manly declaration seemed to be engaged in mental outbursts of ,applause, They encouraged him by their expression of profound admiration, so that he capped the climax with the following emphatically spoken words:— “Put thet into your paper. The writer promised to comply with this very reason- able request, and Mr. Kelly, followed by his trusty henchman, cheerfully pursued his way down the stairs, ‘Sic semper tyrannis/ KBLLY’S KITCHEN CABINET, It was but reasonable to suppose that after the de- feat of all of Tammany’s candidatés (each of whom robably spent from $5,000 to $10,000) much dissatis- tion would prevail in the organization and a desire would be manifested to get rid ot the political leader whose shortsightedness was the cause of their disgraceful pecuniary loss. That such a feel- ing existed yesterday cannot be doubted, but the cipal” local followers of Kelly were evi- dently determined to aie it, for they pretended to take the defeat very lightly, to’ be still’ as enthusi- astic over their great captain as ever, &c. There was Mr. Thomas Dunlap, for instance, the Commissioner of Jurors, a very estimable gentleman, but wedded to Kel gee an ardor such as no shepherd ever felt for his shepherdess, Mr. Dunlap gaye it as his opinion ‘that the organization would stick to Kelly, come what might; that he would remain its leader, and would yet Jead Tammany to greater victories than it had ever accomplished inthe past. Mr. Dunlap’s advice had been to nominate Hackett, but everybody was con- vinced that Kelly had acted from the best motive for the party’s good. The cause of the defeat, in Mr. Dunlap’s opinion, was not the failure to nominate Hackett, but the trouble with the workingmen. “Tho press also had a great deal to do with it,” Mr, Dunlap remarked. “You see, the HERALD is always a power—it moulds public opinion, and the Sun has influence among the poorer classes of Popes. It was impossible to resist the com- bination of the newspapers.” Mr. Tete thought that Tammany, instead of being weaker, was all the stronger tor this defeat, as it would now close its ranks more tightly and be cameful to nominate the very strongest men in the future.. But as to a destruction of Tum, mauy’s and Kelly’s power having been accomplished Mr. Dunlap scouted the idea. He referred triumphantly to the defeat of Tammany three years ago, which, ho said, left it only a corporal’s guard, and still it rose like a@Pheentx from its ashes. General Frank Spinola expressed similar opinions. He referred to all the past defeats of Tammany, begin- ning with the election of James Gulick as Register in 1836, and declared that every one of these defeats made ‘Tammany all the stronger. \ So it would be in this case, Tammany would win next fail a greater victory than it had ever gained before. As to Kelly’s resignation— “No tndeod,” said General Spinola, ‘we are not going to let an A No, 1 man go because a parcel of people de- feat him. The sober second thought of the people will soon come back.”’ “And how do the candidates tako their misfortune ?” sc eng Spinota laughed and lied, “Thi Gen pin and replied, “They take it philosophically.” VIEWS OF HON. SMITH RLY, JR. Hon. Smith Ely, Jr., member of Congress, said that, although he did not belong to Tammany, he keenly re- gretted its defeat, for this was the first time in his life that Tammany bad nominated eight men on its jwiicial ticket who were thoroughly unexceptionable from every point of view. He thought the key,to the defeat ‘was the trouble with the laborers, that formed the pyro which the press lighted with the torch. As regards Kelly’s resignation, he thought Kelly must remain in ization—if not as leader then still as a prin- ‘There was no man who had the leisure, nd the confidence of the party to the same extent as John Kelly. adjust ment after a Tammany defeat was that a reconciliation took place with some of the anti-Tammany leaders; but that was out of the question in the present case, a8 the latter were too repugnant for association. As to the cry that Tammany was a dangerous society, &c., this had been substantially the same for the last thirty years. But Tammany Hall had its ry, its tradi- tions and real estate, which would always make it a power in New York. While Mr. Ely gave his views another member of the party, who. had evidently not drank much r this day, kept shouting, ‘John Kelly will rule this country within twelve months! But Porter must get out, and then all the trouble with tne laborers will be over!” TAMMANY HALL MOURNING. The Tammany Hall Committee on OrganiZation met at four o’clock yesterday afternoon. Of the forty-eight members composing that body but half a dozen wero present. Owing to this unusual large attendance the meeting was held in the basement hall. Nobody seemed to have any heart for solid business after the cataclysm of the preceding night, and so the entire session, which tasted till nearly seven inthe evening, was consumed by the members in poulticing each other’s wounds with speeches, dis- paraging the victory achieved by the honest citizens of New York, and prophesying a grand reaction next year, The meeting was opened with a speech from John Kelly, thanking the gentlemen present for the generous support they had accorded him, and promising to exert his best efforts to restore the party to the posi- tion it occupied one year ago. There were elements, he said, in the Society which would have to be elimi- naied before that end could be attained. The causes which had led to the Tammany defeat wore evident to all, and they should be avoided in future. Speeches were made by Thomas Cooper Campbell, George W. Morton, Arthur J. Delaney, Rdward D, Gale, General Frank Spinola and others expressive of faith in John Kelly and explaining tne state of affairs in their rr ‘tive districts, meeting was held with doublo-locked doors and a stout sergeant-at-arms was stationed upon the stairs outside to keep the keyholes free, After the meeting adjourned John Kelly was approached by a Henao bi apo who politely asked whether any us of importance had been transacted. The unlucky leader of the Tammany forces replied by asking what paper bis inte e was connected with. On being told, he said salenly:—— von the Heratp anything; it don’t give me anything." Twell Mr. Kelly, the Hxratp people are under the impression that they gave you some pretty hard knocks im the late campaign,” replied the scribe. The Grand Sachem smiled a ghastly smile and turned silently away. AT THE CITY HALL. The main business transacted at the City Hall yestor- day was the reception of olection returns by the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors. Atan early hour of the morning @ long list of poll clerks blocked ap the main passageways and handed in their envelopes, one by , toMr, Twomey. The politicians and Aldermen usually in attendance at the third house did not put in an appearance in force during the day, as the fatigues of the canvass probably kept them at home Mayor Wickham was entirely inaccessible. The peculiar po- sition of th® Mayor, in view of the attacks recently made upon him by Mr. John Kelly and Park Commis. sioner O’Donohue, was the subject of considerable dis- cussion among the few politicians who assembled eround the City Hall “What will the Mayor | deteat is sore do under the circumstances? Will he resign from Tammany Hall and enter into @ new combination against the Wigwam ?”? These were questions frequently asked, and no one seemed ready to solve them, General Fitz John Porter left his office be- fore twelve o'clock and did not return during the after- noon, One of the main reasons put forward by Tam- many men for the defeat of their ticket is the action of the Mayor, Commissioner of Public Works ana tho heads of departments in cutting down the laborers? wages. Itis probable that in case of a thorough reor- ganization of Tammany Hall, Mayor Wickham will bo requested to step ‘down and out.” The Mayor is con- juently in a very peculiar position, Snubbed by Mr. Jobn Kelly, hissed by the Tammany gathering, excori- ated by Commissioner 0’ Donohue, and a greater part of the blame for yesterday's defeat saddled on his broad shoulders, it must be a matter of serious contemplation to the gentleman as to whither he will turn for a politi- cai future, ELECTION FRAUDS.

CAUSES WHICH LED TO THE DEMOCRATIC DEFEAT—THE VOTE. ‘Thero was a feeling of great despondency among the overthrown democratic leaders and workers of Brook- lyn and Kings county yesterday. The republicans, who are flushed with victory, are loud in their mutual con™ gratulations. The democratic stump orators promised the State ticket at least 10,000 majority during the cam- Ppaign, and they were sanguine of tho success of their local ticket, That they “reckoned without their host” the readers of the Hxranp are already aware. The county “slate” ticket was bagly beaten, owing to dissatisfaction growing out of tne mismanagement of the party reins on the part of the leaders, It is conceded, even by those who labored for the victory of the coun- ty and city nominees, that their fuilure is a sovere rebuke to the dictatorial interference of the “Boss,” ex-Registrar Haugh McLaughlin, in all that ap- pertains to nominations and the recognition of workers in the party. Aprominent democrat, in speaking upon the cause of the defeat yesterddy; said to the writer:—“This Waterloo in Kings county isa lesson, though a dearly bought one, to the managers of the party, Wor several years past a few men have controlled all nominations. An Alderman or Supervisor, for instance, has been the only person recognized by the dictators in the wards, The Alderman or Supervisor has controlled the inspec- tors and canvassers of electien as well as the primaries, and no man could look for a nomination except through that channel. It invariably happened, however, that the nominations were all dictated from headquarters by the leaders, and the rank and file had nothing more to do than to ratify it, Yesterday that state of things met with a rebuke, and the ‘boss’ has fallen from power,” But there were multifarious cies at work outside the mere dross of party workmanship. Business has been dull for the past year; taxes havo ‘deen enormously high; the press has been’ crying out against the extravagance and corruption of local com- missions, and the worse prejudices of the people have been appealed to on the ground of sectarianism and nationality. As to the stagnation in business and lack of employment the party in power have pointed to t! fact that that misfortune is -by no means local but is national, and, therefore, chargeable to the maladminis- tration of the federal government. The high rate of taxation, they also argued, is largely due to republican legislation, which inaugurated irresponsible and waste- ful commissions, such as the Boards of City Works, Parks, Health, &c, The former Board, under which millions have been expended, has been’since last May composed entirely of democrats, as have also been the Boards of Health, Police and Excise. They haye been powerful auxiliaries in maintaining the strength of the organization of the machinery, and it follows now that their political labors have gone for naught, that the victors will go for the spoils and the scalps of the Com- missioners. The candidates for Mayor on both tickets pledged their support to the “Reform Creed”’—to in- Yestigate and punish abuses in olficials if elected. As it has fallen to the lot of Mr. Frederick A. Schroeder, who was formerly Comptroiler of Brooklyn, to fill the office of Mayor, the duty of prosecuting delinquent com- missioners and contractors will devolve upon him. The “painfal” task will be, no doubt, greatly ameliorated by the fact that the defendants in any suits which may be brought by the Mayor elect aro likely to be of the op- sition party. Already there are jealous eyes cast longingly toward prospective vacant seats in the local boards, Now that we are on the eveof the Presidon- tial canvass republican anticipations of pay and emola- ments are tuned ,to the highest key. There are no obstacles in their way. The Mayor elect has a strong working majority in the local Boards, the Common Council and the Supervisors) With regard to sectarian and national causes operating toward the defeat of the democratic party in the City of Churches is admitted upon all sides that the “Know-Nothing” organization, the American Order of Mechanics and others who entertain feelings of antipathy to citizens of a certain nationality and creed, did champion work for the successful candidate for Sheriff, Albert Daggett. ‘The democrat, Mr. Nevins, who chief-engineered the Fire Department, was canvassed among the people with a view to excite prejudice as having been born in Ire- landand being a Catholic. The appeal would appear to have been effective, as Nevins ran far behind his ticket, while his opponent led the State ticket. e office is at presenttheld by a reptblican, Mr. Williams, so that it is not beef a gain in the order of patronage, bat the ly felt by the democratic party leaders. ‘The success of Colonel Cavanagh in the race for Sen- ator in the Second Senatorial district of Kings county 18 regarded as the most remarkable. The district 13 strongly democratic, and for many years it has been considered so secure as not to require the ordinary in- centives of campaign eloquence. The Sixth and ‘Twelfth wards were so overwhelmingly Irish and dem- ocratic that, coupled with the other wards of the dis- trict, there could be no doubt as to the success of the regular democratic ticket. The republicansshrewdly touched a tender cord im the hearts of the voters in the wards named when they singled out the Colonel) of the gallant Sixty-ninth regiment, in the person of Colonel Cavanagh, and made him standard bearer of the Second Senatorial republican flag. His countrymen rallied round the Colonel, and with the solid republican vote fusea with the democratic admirers of the brave sol- dier, they charged upon the regular nomines, tho voteran and heretofore invincible Senator John ©. Jacobs. It wasa close contest, In thecity of Brooklyn Cavanagh hada majority of 978; in the county towns Jacobs’ majority was 947, making the majority of Cavanagh, on the city and county, 31. The Germans aro jubilant over tho election of Schroeder, and arguo that they will now have their share of official patronage, from which they have long been debarred. The democratic crumbs of comfort are found in the election of a Senator in tho Third district, the Super- visor at Largo, two Commissioners of Charities, Justice of Sessions, three Justices of the Peace and five Assem- blymen, he foliowing resumé of figures will bo read with in- terest as showing the vote for the several candidates in Kings county, together with the majorities:— SECRETARY OF STATS.

NEW JERSEY ELECTION. AN OVERWHELMING VICTORY FOR THE BEPUBLI« CANS—EIFECT OF THE CATHOLIC PROTECTORY BILL—COMPLEXION OF THE LEGISLATURE. ‘Trentox, N. J., Nov. 3, 1875. From returns received here to-day from the various counties throughout the State, there is no doubt but that the republicans achieved an overwhelming victory at the electicn yesterday. The success they met with in the Assembly districts of Essex and Hudson counties surprised even the most sanguine members of the party. In the former county eight out of nine As Bemblymen aro Tepublican, and in the latter (which was always considered a democratic stronghold) six out of eight Assemblymen worship at the same Political altar, In the language of an enthusiastic re- publican, ‘This 1s almost unprecedented—perfectly as- tonishing.” In Essex county Patrick Doyle, the father of the Catholic Protectory bill, which caused the defeat of the democrats, was beaten by his republican com- petitor, Marcus S. Richards, by a majority of over 200, Mr. Doyle had a majority of 918 last year. For voting in favor of that measure Mr, Harrington, in Gloucester county; Messrs. Cary and McDonald, in Hudson; Mr, Wyckoff, in Warren ; Mr. Van Cleef, in Middlesex, and Mr. Blancke, who ran for Senator in Union, were ‘told to stay athome.’? Mr, Youmans was defeated by the Catholic vote in Trenton for voting against that measure, THE CHANGE IN THE LEGISLATURE.
