The Recent Elections.
The elections on Tuesday last resulted, as was expected, in a triumph for the Republicans in the States of Pennsylvania, Ohio. Indiana, and Iowa.
In Pennsylvania the majority for Gen. Jno. W. Geary for Governor, over Mr. Clymer, the Democratic candidate, is between 20,000 and 25,000. Pennsylvania is entitled to 24 members of Congress. The present members stand 16 Republicans, 8 Democrats. It is known that 17 Republicans have just been elected to the 40th Congress, which will commence after the 4th of March next; and the Washington Chronicle claims a gain of three Republicans, which would give 19 to 5. We shall give the names of the members elect in full in our next.
The Pennsylvania Legislature is claimed to be Republican by two-thirds, which ensures a Republican Senator in Congress in place of Mr. Cowan, Democrat.
In Ohio the Republican majority on the State ticket is 45,000 to 50,000. Of the 19 members of Congress 17 are Republicans.- No change from the present Congress.
The Republican majority in Indiana is about 20,000. No change in the members of Congress, though some of the districts are said to be in doubt.
In Iowa all the Republicans are elected to Congress by large majorities, and the State has gone Republican by some 30,000 majority.
We shall give fuller details, with the names of the members elect, in our next.
In Baltimore. there was some excitement in the municipal election. We have no returns, but we infer that the Republicans carried every thing.
The New York Herald says:
Altogether we think the results of yesterday's elections, may be pronounced sufficiently decisive to call for a new departure by the administration and the Southern States in favor of the constitutional amendment of Congress now before the States for their ratification. The gains of the democrats in the comparative popular vote in such cities as Philadelphia and Cincinnati, reveal the assistance drawn from the administration; but the general drift of the popular current outside of the great cities indicates more clearly the predominant public sentiment of the North."
The Herald is mistaken about this "new departure." Southern politicians, who could find no opportunity to die during the war, are determined to die now, rather than be"degraded"and"dishonored."
