Barringcr (W.) Fisher ID

Majority, out OF 1000 votes cast of lG votes only
This district, in 1910, gave General Harrison 1870,
and in 1874 gave Mr.. Clay 662. So you see that
the wing majority, like the courage of Bob Acres,
sis oozng out at the ends of its fingers" All
kinds of misrepresentation and abuse were shower
ed down on the democratic candidate-such as that
Gen. Jackson had written letter as to his frauds;
that he had resided in another State that he said he
could buy up the Dutch votes with whiskey and
gnger-cakes; and then almost every merchant, cot
ton mandatory, and bank influence was brought
down upon him. At the election many fraudulent
votes were thrown against him; and vet, after all
this, only nominal majority of less than twenty
votes for his opponent. Such another victory will
ruin them and in future the native district of James
h. Polk will be redeemed, regenerated, and dis
enthralled from the malign influence of federalism.
The election, and the result thus obtained should be
contested; and the investigation will prove that Mr.,
Fisher is at this moment the legitimate representa-
tive of this district. This change of public opinion
of nearly 1000 votes since last fall, is chiefly owing
to the zeal and activity Of candidate and his
friends, and to the commentator that all parties be-
stow on "the administration its progress, and its
policy"
The best news is yet to tell Cngman, in the
first congressional district in North Carolina de-
feated by James Graham. "Ths is glory enough
for one day. as Judge Barbour once said.
In the third-''the dark district"-the regular
nominee Of the wing party is defeated by General
Dockery "wbose great frmess of purpose and
strength Of INTELLECT have caused family quarrel
among his own party, that will not be easily healed
These three districts were wing in the last Con.
gress. We will certainly have five out of the re-
naming six, when heard from.
Extract Of another letter from North Carolina, dated
RALEIGH, Aug. J6.
In the lst district, Clingman, the abotonis,, is
certainly beaten by Graham. In the I'd, the cleo
ton, it is said will be successfully contested, owing
to fraudulent votes. Such is the result: 6 demo-
Gratis proper; wing proper; whose election is to
be contested and elected by democratic votes--o
Texas man, and no tarifhte. This, certainly, is
glory enough for one campaign.

DISTRESSING oCCuRRENcE.

We are deeply panied to state, that just before
dusk this afternoon, an ARRAY took place on Penn
sylvana avenue, at the corner Of l4th street, be-
tween VIM Rufus Elliott, and Zebedee Kendall the
eldest son of Mr.. Amos Kendall, which resulted in
the death of the latter from shot fired by the for
mer, with revolving pistol A Mr.. Josiah Bailey
was also wounded by shot in the arm, fired by
the person. The street is rife with rumors rel
alive to this truly unfortunate occurrence; but Deem
ing it the duty of the press TO abstain from COM
ments until the truth is ascertained, we only feel
liberty to state that the families ofboth parties meet
the warm and unfeigned sympathy of the commu-
nifty. They were both just entering upon man
hood.
The survivor has given himself up, and is in GUS
tody An examination will take place tomorrow.

We are indebted TO our democratic brethren of
the press for the many acts of courtesy and kind
ness which they have extended to the "Union."
These calculated of course, TO cheer us in the
path which we are now pursuing. We also return
our Acknowledgements to the various papers which
have repubshed the prospectus of the "Union"
and the Congressional Union"
Upon one point we wish to be understood. We
know how to despise the open attacks Of our enc
mics, and to profit by the well-intended suggestions
of our republican friends. Under the first category
comes the following paragraph from that excellent
republican journal, the columbus (Mssissppi)
Democrat of the 9th inst:
The best evidence that the Washington Union is dis,
charging its duty ably and faithfully to the democratic
y and to the whole Union the abuse constantly heape
uponit by the federal wing Their it's
highest praise"
Under the second category (advice from friend,)
we would publish, if our modesty would permit us,
the very cheering and complimentary paragraph of
the columbus (Ga.) Times" of the 18th instant.
1t frankly tells us of"the single blemsh" which has
marked the course Of the "Unon'-auding TO
our 'no,ce of the ten thousand whispers and innu-
endoes of unprncipled editors and hired letter.
writer's" The ''Times" advises that ''he (the
editor of the Union0 but wastes his valuable time,
and gives consequence to malice, to attempt to ward
them off. His friends and his country neither ex-
pect it of him, nor think it necessary" The sug-
geslon is good as it is kind; but we have come
to this resolution for some tIne. We shall "breali
(no more) butterflies upon the wheel" If the
"Times" had the various ISLANDERS, and many ri
diculous fables which the wing slang-whangers have
circulated about the "Union" and its editor, even
for week past, our friend Of the "Times" would
see how well we keep the resolution we have
formed

We have received retu rms, purporting to be Off

day or two will put us in possession of correct in

In the 9Th district, Davis (fed has beaten Mar

In the 9th district, Trumbo (fed) has beaten
French (dem.) 43 votes.
In the 10th district Tibbatis (dem.) has been
elected over Gaines (fed.) by 225 votes.
In the 9th district, Qate Speaker Whites) Martin
(dem. is elected over Adams and Mckee, lwhigs)
by majority ranging between 200 and 400.
In the Sd district, Order (whig) has been elected
over Atcbson (dem) by majority of about $50,
which shows democratic gain since the late presi-
dental election of some 900 votes.
The delegation from Kentucky will stand in the
next CONGRESS, 7 wings to democrats. In the last
they were equally divided-5 and 5. OF the strug-
