ed DR.. Linn as U S. Senator, to H. the vacancy
occasoned by the death OF Col. Buckner This

the Governor could make from his otcn party
and we presume that it will give general salts.

The Election The Counties we give the re.
turns of to- day were the only ones remaining to
be heard from bv US. Of course there are some
errors in some Of the returns, and no entirely &C
curate return can be expected. except from the
Executive Office. By our returns 1t appears
that Governor Lumpkn has been reelected by a
majority of 1886 votes. As soon as the returns
are given officially, we shall publish them in a
tabular form. We have not kept the run OF the
votes on Ratification, but believe that il has been
beaten nearly 5000 votes. Savannah Geor.

from "a responsible person. AT an early hour on
Thursday morning, the dead body of a colored
man, apparently about SIS years Of age, was found
living IN Frankfort street. The Coroner was i'm.

body. but no testimony was adduced which could
furnish any clue as to his identity. and no facts
were eli, tied as to the manner or cause OF his
death. The Jury therefore brought in verdict
