Virginia Election.

No decisive returns have been received since our
last with regard to the Congressional districts in doubt
and must wait for another mail to enable to state
tho result positively where the has been close.
First distrfet--The Baltimore Patriot Of Monday
evening" considers the question Of the election Of Atkn
stil In doubt The net majority for Watts. whig
in all parts of the district except Sussex county, Is
ported at 100 and 1t Is doubtful whether Sussex will
overbaance It, although 1t gave Polk 20l The MAORI
ty will probably not be so votes either way We yes
terdav considered the election of Atkinson settled
Second district-The question Of Dromgoolc's cleo
ton defeat to rest the vote of Nottoway
whg county which gavo Clay majority Of in 1914
and is reported at 10 for Boiling, whig another
count says 90 majority. Tho smaller amount would
elect Dromgooe, while the larger number would elect
Boiling Either way the majority will be very small
say within 30 votes.
Third distriet-No returns yet received. We may
i,0Ie s .Sn an ony 90 yosa in tho district but
Folks, in 1874, was 5l7
Fourth Disirict-The election of Irving, (whig) ap
pears to be generally conceded His majority think
will not be less than 100 to $50.
FIFTH District -Goggin, lwhisD elected, as We have
already statedfull returns having been received Ac
cordng to the returns in democratic papers his majority
will be 6l-by wing accounts it will exceed 100
Eighth District-Ful returns from all the counties
elect Bealc (democrat) over Newton (whig) by lql
majority. This district lately represented by r. NJ. T.
Hunter. Calhoun democrat. gave Mr.. Clay % majority
In 1874 MIR. Newton 1t seems could not command the
whole wing strength Of the district
Tenth DistrieStill in doubt although probabilities
Kennedy, (whig) a brother Of John F. Kennedy Of Bal
timore. Three counties showa wing gain of2li There
ave counties to DO heard FROM in which Kennedy
gain about 100 to be elected but this 10 not to
be expected.
Fifteenth District. The teegraphic report from
Pittsburgh of the election Of Hawkins In this district
premature. II appears that Ohio county gave him
small majority, but there eight counties in the
district, and the diminished wing vote in Ohio county,
whore Wheeling is situated indicates the election Of
o. Brown, democrat.
Reeapitaiation-,so far, 1t is ascertained that the
democrats have elected Bayly, Beae and Me Dowell-
three members certain-and probably Treadway Bedin
ger Thompson and Brown also, other Goodson or
McMuen in the l3lh district where these two demo-
Gratis agiinst each other There is chance for
wing In that district with two democrats running
in " Little Tennessee as il ia called.
The wings have elected Messrs. Bolts Pcndleton.
Gogging and lrving-four members certain-and they
claim the election Of two more viz Watts Boiling
In the 18th district they hope for the election Of VIM
Ballard Preston very popular man, but the district
gave Polk $40 majority
The prospects still are that nine ten democrats
and five or six wings elected to Congress from
Virginia
The Baltimore Patriot of Monday, gives the follow
ing under postscript
understand that Goggln (whg) is elected by l22
jority in the Albemarlc district
Boiling (whig) Is reported to BE- elected by eight
jority over Drongoole, Coco oco) in the Petersburg
district.
