returned 50 noble Representative.
Another friend writes as follows:
uwarnen will send you a noble Delegation. The
canvass in this County was attended with unusual
;,arest and excitement, and the result may be re-
naJed as complete triumph Of the cause of Internal
Improvement in public opinion bere. The principal
issue in the election turned upon the North Carolina
Rail Road, and the vote given in favor OF Its friends
proves that people devoted to that great and
patrotic interest of the State Mr. Thornton deserves
our thanks and grateful praises for his manly and in
dependent course on the bill in the Legislature, and
especially for his able and successful vindcation of
that measure before his constituents. He is Rep
resentative of whom any people might be justly
proud-intelgent, firm, and patrotic-ardent in his
attachments to North Carolina, and the unflinching
friend of State improvements popular education and
popular rights. Mr.. Eaton is we'll known in North
Carolina as an eminent lawyer, an honored member
OF the Legislature four years, scholar, and pure
life and his principles are identified with North Car
olina. Her records are the best commentary on his
character. He is patriot and statesman.
Warren has done her part we'll. Here We are all
North Carolnians. Our State-our ach0Ie State for
ever!"

H. Gooch, Democrat, reelected Sheriff by the fol-
lowing vote Gooch lOO6, J. M. Stone, Democrat,
365, Hester 4sl, and Hart 1874. The Democrats have
done their duty towards Col. Reid in Granville. A
friend writing from Frankinton, says:
"Mr Lyon, one of the Democratic candidates in
Granville, has lost his election by two votes.
derstand that at precinct two votes for Mr.. Ly-
on were put the wrong box, and therefore not
Parham, the hindmost Whig candidate, was also put
in the wrong box but was counted by the inspectors.
According to this statement, If Mr.. Lyons votes
had also been counted he would have tied Col. Par
ham and the Sheriff would, in all probability, have

There is no change in Granville. In the last Le-
gisla,ure the Wings had the Senator and two Com
moners. and the Democrats have the Senator aud
the Wings three Commoners.
CUMBERLAND.
DR.. Thomas N. Cameron, Senate, without opposi-
ton, and the Hon. James C. Dobbin and George W
Prgram, Commons. Dobbin 1910, Pegram Ills,
Jones 32l. Johnson, Democrat, reelected Sheriff
by CTS majority over Green. Cumberland has roll
ed up glorious gain for Col. Reid !; and the best
evidence that the Democrats of that County have
done their uN duty by him is to be found in the fact
that he runs but 30 votes behind Mr.. Dobbin. The
Caronian says:
"Mr. Reid, the democratic candidate, has beaten
his opponent Mr.. Manly, lO4 votes in Fayetteville
an unprecedented majority-for which we must give
some of the wings credit, portion of them con-
tbued to this result indirectly, bv not voting, and
some others directly. by voting for MI. Reid"

An attentive Correspondent at Windsor furnishes
US with the following account from Berthe:
