the LEGIsLATURE.-The Raleigh Standard
Oi Wednesday, says -
COncedng Camden and Currituck to tho
Wings, the Democrats have gained in Ashs and
Suuy, in Franklin, Macon, Haywood and Chero-
kee Northampton, Orange, and StOkes--tOtal s
and lost in Chowan and Gates, in Craven, David
son. a1,s Rutherford--total 4. Including Orange,
The Senate will he ticd--25 to 25; but conceding
that County to the Wings, the Senate would stand
"a Democrats, 26 Wings. But we have no idea
that Mr. Waddle, the Wing candidate, will hold
on; and should he give place to Capt. Berry, or
resign, and a new election be ordered, we shall
have Democratic Senator from that County.
The Democrats have gained one member of the
Commons IN Buncombe. one in Craven, one IN
Davie, one in Johnston one in Northampton. two
IN Orange, one in Person, and one in Surry--to.
nI 9; and lost enc in Granville two in Halifax,
and one in StOkes--total d. Admitting that the
Wings have reelected Mr.. Hicks from Macon, this
would also tie the House of Commons--6O to SO!
As to the politics of the Commoner from Ashe We
Ne no! informed.
We see no reason for conceding the Sena-
or from Camden and Currituck. We still
think that-we have elected Lindsay, and there
lore made another gain, which would make
the Senate tie, even supposing Mr.. Waddell
to take his seat. There can be no doubt that
berry is elected over Waddell in Orange. A
mistake was made in counting the vote of
Waddell Of just one tally, FIVE votes. OF course
when this is demonstrated, as we learn it can
be, Mr.. Waddell would not, even with the &C
Hdental certificate of the Sheriff.. attempt to
claim the seat If Capt. Berry, therefore,
lakes his seat from Orange, according to our
calculation we will have two majority in the
Nnate. In the House, we were in error, il
seems, in saying that we had carried the whole
ticket in Surry. We have only gained one
there. According to our calculation, the House
"at tie. Then, TO sum up the whole, if We
have carried, as we think we have, the Sena
Tor from Camden and Currituck, and Berry
lakes his seat from Orange, we will have 4
majority of two on joint ballot Time alone
can settle this.
Below we give the names of such addition
aImembers elect to the next Legislature as WI
nave been able to ascertain. We have in THU
ana our last paper, given the names of 48 GU
Of the SO Senator'S, and 40 out of the l2(
Commoners. In our next we hope TO be abb
10 give corrected list of the whole
