Elections in thirty-one States were held last week. The returns are not yet sufficiently full to determine the result accurately of the Congressional returns. The Democrats lost in the North and Northwest and gained in the South. Enough is known, however, to determine the fact that the next House will be Democratic by a small majority. But one obstacle is in the way of relief to the people—that is the President. The Senate and the House will be Democratic, but the people can never get what they want until we have a Democratic President. Ben Butler, the leader of the National Greenback Workingmen's Communistic organization, was badly slaughtered in Massachusetts. He was buried by about 40,000 majority. Talbott, the Republican candidate beat him for Governor. The election of Republican legislatures in New York and Pennsylvania insures the return of Conkling and Cameron to the Senate. Money is said to have been lavishly used in securing the seats of these eminent Republican luminaries.
