Result of the Fall Elections.

New York, Sept. 18. - The Herald's Washington correspondent concludes: It seems likely that the whirligig of politics will give North Carolina to the republican independent coalition this year, while it is about certain that the democrats will carry Pennsylvania and Indiana. There is a strong chance that the hitherto staunchly democratic state of Delaware will elect a republican governor and that its single representative in Congress will be also a republican. The republican victory on the state and congressional ticket would very probably carry with it the republican majority in the legislature, and this legislature will elect a successor to Eli Saulsbury, Bayard's democratic associate. The republicans of Delaware seem very certain of general victory. The democrats appear to be solicitous although they profess that there is after all no great danger of defeat this fall.
