THE RESULT IN WESTCHESTER. AS was confidently anticipated, the democrats of Westchester count) gained a decisive victory on Tues- day, electing their national, Stato and local candidates by unusually large majorities, the only exception be- (og the re-election of James W. Husted in the Third Assembly district, which result was a foregone con- sinsion, AS the vove is never canvassed until the Board of Supervisors meet on the Monday following tue election, the exact vote polled cannot be deter- mined until thon; but enough 1s known of the returos to warrant the beliot that Tilden bas a majority of be. iween 2,500 and 3,000 in the county.

TILDEN'S MAJORITY *BVENTY THOUSAND —THE CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION UNCHANGED— EXCITEMENT AMONG THE PEOPLE. ATLaxta, Nov. 8, 1876, It is impossible to describe the tumultuous excite- ment tbat rules this city. The people are actually wild. Thousands of strangers who come to the city to hear the news still remain, and the night is full of public demonstrations, &c. A vast crowd remained in front ot the Constitution bulletins until five o'clock this morning. The result is not yet definitely known, SENATOR JONES ASTONISHED. of Nevada, was in the Constitution a. Wisconsin was reported e bad always classed it certainly demo- cratic. said tb had conceded Indiana, Con- necticut, New Jereey, Wisconsin and Oregon to the democrats for weeks past. He seemed rather aston- ished at the bright republican news, ‘The crush oi the crowd around the newspaper bulletins was so great that an old man, T. M. Horsey, was pressed down the cellar steps and ipjured jataily. At about four o’cloek th democrats hauled out w lot of firework: a doubttal despatch Hill and General Gordon, who bave been canvassing in other States, wii! reach Atianta to-night, and will be met with music, &c. ” TILDEN'S MAJORITY, .The State has gone democratic by 70,000 at least, There was not a siugle dist e inthe State.

INDIANA, THE EBB AND FLOW OF EXCITEMENT IN INDI- ANAPOLIS—THE DAY PASSED IN ALTERNATE HOPES AND FEARS—GOVERNOB HENDRICKS CONFIDENT, expressed surprie whe! Ispraxopotis, Nov. 8, 1876. At two o’clack this morning the democracy struggled ome by squads, feeling contident but not certain. The republicans were very despondent, though the more sanguine of them were hoping against hope. Botween three and eight o’clock this’ morning the weary, sleepy populace refrained from exciting demonstrations and outward exhibitiona of interest. BXCITEMENT ARISING, Daring those brief hours tho State Committee rooms were not, as belore, besieged by anxious inquirers, but os the day progressed the earnest people poured down the thorougnfures leading to the respective headquar- ters, and all day, though the etreets wore thronged with eager multitudes, the State Committee rooms we; crowded to suffocation, Thousands stood in the stree: tn front of therepublican headquarters, in the Journa! buildings, and in front of the democratic headquarters, on Washington street, almost blocking the side streets and impeding progress of vehicles. A constant stream of inquiring visitors pressed eagerly into the commit- tee rooms lor some tiny grain of vital news 10 break the wearing suspense, All the papers here and the in- coming Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louls press an- nounced the election of Tilden. Democrats felt as- sured, They knew that the conceded 154 vo! re nob THE NECESSARY 185 and many suggested the propriety of not crowing too loudly tll tney were out of the wilderness. As tho day wore on and no positive defaite information came the surging toultitude became more restive, and the very air Was laden with wild and contusing rumors. To- word nightiall the business of the city seemed almost entirely suspended, and thousands of anxious men and women poured into the streets and sought somo sort of consvlation from friend and foe. The gleaming eye and quick nervous step and undefined hurrying to and iro reminded me of the intensel; citing War poriod in Washington, D. C., when great ond bloody batties were being fought within heat of the national capital Throughout the tire day tue scream and yel's of the rampant Tilden guard, and Haves boy, in favor vt his respective candi- dates, kept the whole city im av uproar, but as might came on and the crowds ipcreased it needed but a spark of nows annouucement to set the mass going again in prolonged and repeated shouts, CLADUING LOUISIANA. After a somewhat ominous lull in the fever of bois- terous excitement, Harry Holloway rushed into repab- Nean headquarters with the announcement that a rivate telegram had just been received from rake DeKay in New York claiming Connceticut for Hayes by 600 majority. As with a lightning flash this report siruck the crowds in the comimyttee rogins as slgmiicant. The solid fine claims for Tilden was broken, With one wild and exuitant shout those withia gave expression to their joys. The infection instantly spread to the streets. Never before did or hear such exhtbition of exulation. In Ices than tive minates at least 16,000 addition was made to the surging mass of men in the street. Roll atter roll of thunderous shout rent the air. and it wasa ‘ull quar- ter of an hour betore the uproar died away inio calm. About this time a commotion was observable over on treet in front ofthe Democratic Headauar- res distant irom the Republican Com- NEWS FROM LOUISIANA. Tho assombled democracy was impaticut at the long fotervals between news. A solitary horseman rode recklessly through the thousands and hat the telegram to the messenger, who deftly its to the committee room.

CONFLICTING REPORTS. The excitement is icu-lold greater than that attend- ing the October cleetion, Subsequent to this hour the shouting, rushing to and fro carry! all imaginable and preposterous rumors of losses and gains, has tn- creased and there is no indication of a cessation of these evidences of the intense interest in the result, GONRRNOR HENDRICKS ‘was quietly pursuing bis official dutics in his office to- day. He has been firmly confident of victory achieved, but philosopreally awaiting pure and {ull information. Pool seiling continaes briskly to-mght at Chapin & Gore's, AT MIDNIGHT, For two hours the tidal wave has flowed furiously in Hayes and Wheeler boisterousness. Since tho Draxe DeKay (Connecticut) despatch the republican headquarters have professed to be in reecipt of a series of despatches assuring Hayes of all the doubtial States of this morring, including California, Fiorida, Louisiana, Nevada, Oregon, South Carolina and Wisconsin. This sccures them the victory, and upon this hypothesis the republicans assemb.ed have become wild and furious with excess of excitement. ~ Endless cheering bas resounded throughout the city, and in their abandon ing through the streets their Jate Stato campaign Indianapolis republicans, who mg ny bed, Laagirongebard ta coun’ y thousands, are parading t rine) streets and with unearthly yells fil the ai ‘he ‘ae veratic hopeiulness ts loss demonstrative than in t early evening, but they havo an abiding faith in their men of destiny, ot exultatien are 1 and avenue LESS THAN HALF OF THE STATE SHOWS A DEMOCRATIC GAIN OF NEARLY ONE THOV- SAND.

These are parishes where the colored people have been acting with the democrats almost from the inception of the campaign, and have resisted intimidation from the republicans. DELAYING THE COURT.

CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS ON THE RESULT— CAUSTIC CRITICISM OF TER OLD BAX STATE CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION. Bostox, Nov, 8, 1876. Charles Francis Adams, while he is of course much gratified, takes the probable election of Mr. Tilden very philosophically and quietly. In a conversation to-day ho remarked that it was an evidence that the people had become tired of the corruption and shortcomings of the dominant party of the past Miteen years. Al- though it is generally believed that Mr. Adams will be honored with a seat inthe cabinet of Mr. Tiiden, if it ‘should prove that he is elected, it 1s nevertheless clear from Mr. Adama’ talk that be is indifferent to such a Tecognition, As to his expectations concerning tho issue, Mr. Adams said he bad none. He had formed Do opinion as to how be should rua, and therefore had bo reason to be disappointed, His own town of Quincy had given him a majority, of which he bad already Deen apprised by a private telegraphic despatch. He bad been there during the day, and understood that tho total vote was larger than ever boiore there. When bis son had been the gube natorial candidate and when he himself had formerly been a candidate for Congress he did not remember that he had received a majority at home. La regard to Mr. Rice he had no particular remarks to make. He respectable gentieman, and administered the of his office well he thought, TUR CONGRESSMEN ELECT. ‘The reporter informed him that Butler, Banks and Loring were probably all elected. [1 that w the cuso Mr. Adams thought i¢ about as bad as bad could be. As to Butler's opposition to the south in Con- gress he would say nothing; Uut be thought his general conduct very unbecoming ior a republican candidate. He did rot care to ything about Mr. Bavks. He had said some ungent: ly things about him (Mr. Adams) a short time since, but ho would not givo any opinion because of that aifair, Mr. Baoks* ‘war record, however, was protty poor, aud that alone he thought sufficient to deprive him of the suffrage of his fellow citizens, Dr. Loring he could not make the subject of remark because he knew almost nothing about him. He, however, did not think him a particu. larly strong map, Qu bearing of Mr. Chapin’s deleas tn the Bleventh district he also expressed regret. His opponent, he believed, was a Butier man, aud that was enough. to condemn him, Mr. Frost and Mr. ‘Dean he could not speak of trom his own knowledge; but he was rather surprised that the Third district had feated Mr. Ficid in Mr. Dean’s fuvor. So far 1 general outlook went he thought Massachusetts bad nothing to be proad of in her Congressional delegation, and bad elected no one who'would add to her reputa- tion, Mr, Adams had been told by several of his friends that they bad voted for bim on an otherwise straight republican ballot, apd had ouly hoped that ho might run ahead of his ticket, Further than that he had no hope or expectations. He askod a few questions about the general resu't, but would make no further observations, w duties BUTLER HIMSELF AGAIN—CHARACTERISTIC SPEECH OF THE SUCCESSFUL STATESMAN— FANEUIL HALL—BUMMERS AND SUTLERS TO THE REAR. Bostox, Nov. 8, 1876.

After the possibilities aod probabilitics had been dis- cussed in an informal way by several gentleman pres- ent Governor Hays, looking as easy and bland as if he had had no part in tho matter, walked about tho room for a time, and then, In answer to a question from your correspondent as to how the news of the morning affected him, replied substantially as fol- lows :— ‘1 think we are defeated. In spite of the recent good news | am of the opinion that the democrats nave carried (he country and elected Mr. Tilden. Asit now eoems necessary for ‘the republicans to carry all the States now set down as doubtful to secure even a ma- jority ot one in the Electoral College | must confess I Alo not see very much to hope for, and [ am inclined to doubt the possibilities. Idon’t think those encourag- ing despatches ought to be given to the public now, be- cause it might mislead our enthusiastic friends to bet on the election and Jose their monoy. 1 do heartily deprecato such practices.’” tleman present suggested that the matter of such nutional nmportance should be given to the public, as they were hungry tor a ray of hopelul news, to which Governor Hayes replied :- “Ido novthink so. 1 incline to the betief that any- thing which bas a tendency to excito the people is in- judicious a” thistime If we havo gained the day ‘people shall know it in good time, and then there will be plenty of time to rejoice,” ‘At this stage of the coversation, Hon.

THE CHEERING NEWS. Ata later hour, alter hearing tno news at the Repub- licun Headquarters, the crowd, numbering several thousand, formed & procession and marched to Governor Ilayes’ residence.
