IDENTITY that Mr.. Daniel is elected.-The Flem-
iugsburgh piper of Saturday SAYS" we consid-
er Mr. Trimbe's election certain" From the
distant mountainous, thinly settled counties
Of Floyd and Lawrence-where it is said Mr..
has small maiorlies-- and Morgan-where
it is supposed Mr. Daniel has majorilies, we
have no returns. Exclusive of these four coun.
ties, Mr.. Trimble's ma ority is about $40 or $50.

majority Of from 900 to 400, over Mr.. Rodes-
both are friends Of lhe present administration.
5h District. Gen. Mediation is reelected,
and not Mr. Sanford, as was first supposed
The disappointment resulted from the vote oil
Campbell county, where Mr.. Sanford resides,
and which gave him but 10 majority, when
500 or 600 was expected. McHatlon's MAORI
ty in the District is BIS.
9Th District Mr.. Lecompts majority over
Mr. Crittenden is S63.
IN District. Mai Moore is re elected. In
Jessamine $50 votes were given in opposition
