ELECTIONS.


NORTH CARoLINA.--Tbe Baltimore
Chronicle of Saturday has some farther
returns. 10 the counties heard from the
wings in the senate have 81, and in the
house Of commons AZ members. The Van
Buren, Party have 10 In the senate and 80
in the house Of commons. There are vet
10 hear from % counties. which In 1886,
elected 9 Wings and 10 Van Buren, sena.
tors, and l6 wing and "a Van Buren, com.
moners. The senate consists Of 40, and
the house of commons OF 1870 members.
The wings have therefore q majority
already in the former body, and it is more
than probable that they will also have the
asccndancy in the house of commons.
The chronicle estimates that the whig
majority in joint ballot will be at least Ia.
The Legislature, by joint ballot elects a
council TO the governor, who have a con.
curing power in all matters relating TO
the executive duties. The last legislature
being Van Buren,, the council of course,
was of the same complexion, but this year
the aspect Of affairs being changed, the
wings will take core TO associate with
Gov. Dudley council whose political
opinions will harmonize with his own.
ILLINOIS ELECTION. The Buffalo Jour.
nal says. that from Chicago it learns that
the Wings succeeded in carrying that city.
and that tine returns from The county were
mostly in, and the Wing governor was
ahead so far as heard from. The loco foco
candidate Tor sheriff, who was an Irisbman,
and who had been but seven months in
that country, lead his competitor about
seventy votes.
KENTUCKY ELEcTIoN.--But little inter.
est is felt in the election in this State.
There is scarcely Loco Foco strength
enough to make show of opposition
The returns so far as received give ID
Wing and Loco Foco members of the
Legislature. The convention was voted
down by an overwhelming majority ell
