In Rhode Island, Ames, in the First and Ballon, in the Second Dis trict, both Republicans are elected to Congress. The vote is light. Chicago, Nov. 5.—A Washington special says the President in conver sation to day admitted his chagrin at the result of the elections, and there is good authority for the statement by one of bis immediate associates, that he will, at the prop er time, indicate his preference for E. B. Washbnrne as his successor. In his Message to Congress next month he will, according to the same authority take such grounds against the Credit Mobilier fraud corruption ists of the Republican party, as to direct attention to Washbnrne as one of the pure and incorruptible men of the party, on whose record no tarn- ish is to be found. A Time» special says the President has taken Ihe Republican defeat with great indifference. He express* ed some surprise at the revolution in Massachusetts, but otherwise, as far as is known, he said nothing. To day he refused to see any one but Secretary Bristow, with wnom he was closeted half an hour. After that he was reported unwell. D etroit .
