Tbe hotels and boarding bouiea of the

ttiree dajB with a motley throng. This
eoccoorso la tbe Legislature of the
Hiatt, tbe conaoript fathers, or words to
that effect.
FROM THK MOUMTAINg
to the sea, from the swamps to the lower
part of the State, from the red hills of
Middle Georgia, from north, sooth, east
and west they have here gathered, and
now, as I ait facing them from my dealt,
abet a variety of features Inm their
Ktrange ejos toward me. Here tbe ke«n-
faead lawyer, thero the pale editor, there
the broad-faced, bald-headed wide-
ihooldered eqoire and antoorat of aotno
Utile rural realm, here the atnrdy farmer
with wide open, wondering eyes, the hay
aead not entirely brushed ont of his shag
gy hair, and last bat not least, tbe young
politician with oompreaaed lips and sen
atorial bearing, os if belhad got both feet
braced to move the world, as no donbt
ha will in the event—to laughter each and
all with a special little bill m their port
als, tbe stewed now and strained wis
dom of a thousand years. (How many
little bills, tbs stirring ezperienoe of forty
days will tbe remand toigniors take
away with them.)
T1IK OKOAIUZATION
of tho Houee took place in the Hail of
Representatives thla morning at 10 o’
Mr. E. P. Spear, the Clerk of tbe laat

Mr. Bacon being conducted to the chair,
with much applause, said:
Gentlemen of tho House of Bepretenta-
first:—I very sinooreiy thank yon for this
honor whiob you have again bestowed
upon me, and in the exeoution of tho du
ties of this ollloe I will endeavor not to
forfeit tbe confidenoe yon have reposed in
me. Tne business of this legislature will
be very tedious to us all. A now Consti
tution is before os; the statute of the
State must be conformed to it; old by
laws must be conformed to it, and new
laws must be made in accordance with it.
No task is so formidable to a Legislature
than thus to mould the laws of a State to
a new Constitution. It is not probable
that there will be another Constitution
for half soeumry, and tbe laws we have
to make will last and exert their inflaenoe
oa oar laws and onr people for years to
some. It becomes ns therefore to exert all
oar enthusiasm, employ all onr integrity
and patience, in the important task be
fore us.

In the Congressional districts through

of one congressman, in the first district,
Newberry,republican.being elected in the

WISCONSIN.
Milwaukee, November 6.—In the
fourth district, Deuston, democrat, is
elected by a smell majority. In the third
district, llaxAlton’s, republican, chances

ed. wuioh will leave the congressional
delegation from this State unchanged.
TENNESSEE.
Memphis, November 6.—The official
vote of this city gives Young, indepen
dent democrat, for Congress. 769 majority.
His estimated majority in the county is

candidates. House’s majority over the
leading competitor is one thousand eight
huVdred and eight. The Democrats will
have an increased representation in the

Massachusetts.

sayB the result m tho fifth district is in
doubt. One town Is wanting. Hamilton
votes received by telegraph and those
published in Newburyport Herald vary
considerably. We have carefully revised
our figures by the returns and we make
Loring elected by 141. The Newbnry-
port Herald figures Boynton In by 66, but
editorially they cannot eay who ia
elected. We think Dr. Loring is elocted.

to the Evening Post from Boston says Lor-
iog, republican, is undoubtedlyre-slected
in the sixth district by 130 plurality,
NEW JERSEY.
Trenton, November 6.—The Legisla

ent. House, 36 republicans and 24 dem
ocrats. Smith, democrat and greenback-
er, u sleeted in tho second district by
1,000 majority, and Amos Clark, republi

have heretofore been classed as doubtful.
NEW HAMPSHIRE.

Journal speaking of the New Hampshire
elections says the new Legislature will be

Henry W. Blair, of Plymouth; General
Msiiton, of Dover; Austin H. Pike, of
Franklin, and ex-Governor Cheney, of
Manchester. The contest will be lively.

Chicago, November 6.—The returns
from the city are nearly complete and
show a total -rote of 44,710, and the elec
tion of the Republican candidates in the
countT. The Republican majorities range
from 3,000 to 10,000. A plurality for State
Treasurer Smith iu the county is about
it 000. The Greenback vote in the county
is‘about 4,000, and the BocisH** veto
about 7.030. The returns from the thir
teenth congressional district make
pretty certain that Upton, republican, is
defeated by Stephenson, greenbacker and
drmsL-it, by over 590 majority. Nothing
definite baa yet been received from tho
18th district, bnt both parties glaira it.
The indications are ths Republicans hare
a fair working majority in ths Legisla
tors, though the Democrats do not con
cede it.
Quince, III., November 6.—Adams
county elects the entire Democratic tick
et. Singleton’s majority in ths epunty is

sional district gives Dens ton, democrat,
157 majority.
MINNESOTA.
St. Paul, November 6.—The Republi
cans claim Washburn’s majority in the
third diatriot by at least 3,000. The
Democrat] early this morning caaoeded
the election of VYaabbum, bat now claim
that Donnelly is elected by a small major
ity. Strait, republican, is eleotod in the
seoond distriot aod Donnell in the first
distriot. Tbe retnrns are too meagre for
an estimate of tho Legislature or tbe ma
jority in the State. The Green bask vote
waa smtl 1 .
MISSOURI.

tors in this oity, and twelve out of fifteen

lioan mombera are so far known to ba
eleoted to the Legislature.
LOUISIANA.
New Orleans, November 6.—But few
complete returns have been received and
they do not chango the result as indicated
by last night's dispatches. Tho Demo
crats will probably eleot the entire city
ticket, two-thirds of the Legislature, all
tho congressional candidates except one,
from the third district, and State Treas
urer, by unprecedented majorities. As
usual in this State, it will probably bo
somo time before the official count can
