majority for Bordelon rs Tor Morse, since Gen.
Bossier only received 20 majority here last year.
though well known and popular in that region
which Morse is not. 1t will be seen that we have
gained in all that Ouachita region
Il is distinctly stated in New-Oreans paper
that the vote OF Calcasieu Qi0 Morse, p Borde-
lon) is included in the 2o2 to $40 of ST. Landry.
The TrOpic (Which has not the return above
given from Dc Soto says:
1t will be seen, therefore, that as far es heard
from BoRDEIoy leads MORSE ninety-seven votes.
The two parishes to be heard from, Boss1er and
De Soto, gave Gen. Bossier II majority over Mr..
Moore last July. II can scarcely be expected,
under all the circumstances of the case, that they
will give Morse, who Is comparatively unknown
in that region, larger majority than Booster re-
ceved, who was personally acquainted with al
most every resident Of the two parishes. More.
over, we incline to the opinion that the vote OF
the parish of Bossier has already been given IN
the reported majority IN the parish of Claiborne.
The vote of the two parishes is usually combined.
We will not crow until we are fairly out of the
woods, but we will venture to express our con.

" VARYING from 30 10 so votes
The Legislature is safe enough for the Wings
by very handsome majority. The election OF
Hess-s. Nay and DAY, good Wings, to the House,
from the district composed Of the parishes Of Cald
roeN Union, Oudchita and MorehouSe, is signal
victory. We have already heard positively of
the election Of THIRTY -FOUR Wings to the
House, giving US ZIG HIT majority in that body.
That majority may be increased to ten or twelve.
To morrow we hope to be able to publish full and
correct returns from all sections of the State
or one thing we are tolerably well satisfied, that
is, the Wing triumph is full and complete, and
VIC hone to be enabled 10 issue the first number Of
the Pictorial Tropic by Monday at the farthest.
The way we will exhibit coons, and pokes, and
chickens, together with large variety OF other
animals too numerous to MENTION" will be
caution to our Loco FQco friends.
Late last night, through the politeness of our
friends of the Concordia lntelligenccr,we received
full returns from the Concordia District, includ.
ing the parish of Tensas. The majority OF Mo
RANcy, Wing, over Ruuth, for the Senate, is 69
votes. Morancy received a majority In each OF
the four parishes. PARHAM and BENJAMIN, Wings.
are elected to the Legislature by majorires equal
" decisive. SELLERS, Wing, beat Judge Dun.
LAP for the Convention 81 votes. We condoie
with our friend the Judge on this very unexpected
calamity.
1t is scarcely necessary to publish at length
the letters VIC received yesterday. Suffice 1t 10
state that the Ouachita Senatorial District sends
Gen Downs, Loco oco, to the Convention
there was no opposition to his election. The four
parishes comprising the same District, send
ISAIAH GARRETT, a first rate Wing, and Farmer,
Loco. Foco, to the Convention. The election OF
two Wings to the House from this District we
have already mentioned. With regard to the
parish of Franklin, friend in Ouachita writes us
as follows. That portion of the parish which
has been permitted TO vote belongs, We under
stand, to the Fourth Congressional District.
In the parish Of Franklin there about 10 votes,
of whom not more than ten are Loco-Focos. There
not single boz sent by the sheriff 10 the com
missioners of any precinct; the commissioners OF one
precinct, not receiving any box, made one and went
on 10 hold an election In that box there were %
votes deposited, all Wigs. The sheriff of the
parish Of franklin is strong Loco-Foce lately ap-
pointed by Gov. Mouton.'
The Bee Of the same date says:

Yesterday evening we received letters from two
highly respectable gentlemen, one living IN Qua
chita and the other IN Caldwell, furnishing full
cheering. Ouachita gives Al majority to Morse,
Caldwell Co. Union gives Bordelon 80 majority
Morehouse 60, and that part of Franklin which
votes with the Fourth District gave % Wing ma.
iority. In the Ouachta District, Downs is
elected to the Convention as Senatorial Delegate,
without opposition, and Farmer, Loco Foco, and
Garrett, Wing, as District Delegates. For the
Legislature the vote as reported is as follows:
Ray, Whig.-......325 Payne, l.. F,.......-266
May, " ..295 Thomas, 293
We have gained one member certain, and
probably two. Our majority in the House can
not be less than SIX and is probably EIGHT.
The returns from the 4th District, which we
subloin, render Bordeon's election quite likely
An the parishes are heard from except Bosser
and De Soto. The vote of Bossier, VIC are con-
iident, is included in that of Claiborne, and De
Soto cannot give 100 Loco Foco majority. Bor-
delon's present majority is 81. The contest Is
excessively close, just as in 10 between Moore
and VIM. Whoever is elected has precious few
votes TO spare.
