present in to days paper all the returns received
up to the latest moment .y.,zf,,,.2 s,, sy-a:,s,sf


In the First District the Candidates were Thos.
L. Clingman and John Gray Bynum, both Feds.
We have no, intelligence whatever from that re-
gion of the State ). t. ~. I..sl


In the Second District the Candidates were Ma
thaniel Boyden and Joseph M. Boyle, both Feds,
and, in the First District, sustained by large
Federal majority. No news from them.


In the Third District the Federal Candidate
was Daniel VI. Barringer His majority was
large, but the Democrats generally expected to
vote for Walter F. Leake, Of Richmond, though
that gentleman had declined to be Candidate,


In the Fourth District the Candidates were A.
H. Shepherd FedcralisL and Junius L. Glenn
mons, Dem ocrat The Federal majority was
some eighteen hundred votes under the Rayner-
mander, but we have no doubt that Mr.. Glenn
mons has reduced it considerably. - .-....e.


Ia the Fifth District Abraham w. Venable,
Democrat has been elected over John Kerr, Fed
eralis by III minority. s..l.,..s,.l s-e.r


In the Sixth District, Gen. Daniel, Democrat,
has been elected over A. H. Arlington and Hen
ry l. Toole, Independent DemocIatic Candidates.


The Seventh District has no doubt elected Gen.
Mckay, Democrat, over Mr.. Hall, Federalist, and
Mr.. Bryan. Independent Democrat s.


In the Eighth District the Candidates were,
Richard S. Donnel, FederaIist, and William K
Lane, Democrat. We have heard from but few
Counties, and it is therefore impossible to predict
the result with any degree of certainly. Mr.
Lane was running well, but the Federal majority
under the Raynermander was between seven and
eight hundred. ,r-


The Ninth District, weregrct TO say, has most
probably elected David Outlaw, Federalis, over
Col. Biggs, Democrat.


The Democrats have elected three certain TO-
wit: Messrs. Daniel, Venable, and Nc Kay, and
we think there is some ground for hoping for the
fourth In our next VIZ shall be able, no doubt
to report the result in all the Districts
