In California, Eugene Casserly, Democrat, has been elected to succeed Mr. Conness, Republican; in Connecticut, ex-Gov. Buckingham, Republican, has been elected to succeed Mr. Dixon. Mr. Patterson, of Tennessee, Democrat, and son-in-law of President Johnson, is to be succeeded by Parson Brownlow. Ohio will exchange Ben. Wade, Republican, for Judge Allen G.
