ELECTION NEws.—General Reynolds has re.
jected the votes of two counties in Texas, and has au-
nounced that Davis (11 Idical) has been elected Governor.
Wo are surprised at this news by telegraph, as the report
by mail was that Davis had been elected by a majority of
2,000, and we can only conclude that vote was so close
as to necessitate some such action to secure the
election for the party. • The Conservatives have,
however, secured a majority in the Legislature, and
there will he some gentle persuasion required before they
pass the Fifteenth Amendment. The President, on the
10th Dec., nominated Wilson Shaffer to the Governorship of
Utah, and B. F. Potts, of Ohio, to be Governor of Moutaus
in place of Ashley. The Kentucky Legislature, one second
joint ballot, Dec. 16,:elected Stevenson to be U. S. Senator.
The vote stood—Stevenson, 117 ; Finley (Rep.), 10 ;
Spaulding, 5 ; John C. Breckenridge, 1. Mr. M'Creerf
withdrew from the first ballot. John White Stevenson,
son of Andrew Stevenson, of Virginia, some twenty years
ago Minister at the Court of St. James's, is Goiernor of
the State, having been elected by a majority of 100,000
votes, being a Democrat and a great favourite in Ken'
tucky.
