No returns from Bristol Co. composed OF the
towns OF Bristol, Warren and Barrington,) which
gave Taylor SIG, Cass 1871, and Van Buren, IT,
AS will be seen by reference to our telegraphic
dispatches in another colu mn, there is no doubt
of the election of the Loco State ticket. Mr.
Thurston, who is elected to Congress In the
Western District by 1000 majority, was nom.
mated last year by the Free Sellers their can
didate for Lieut.. Governor. The Wing and OPP
position candidates for Governor this year were
generally considered liberal on the subject OF
Slavery Excluding Bristol, there has been an
aggregate gain of 795 on the popular vote since
the last Presidential election, and loss Of about
300 compared with 1874 A telegraphic dis
patch to the Boston Post, from Rhode Island
Coalitionist, announces that the victorious Dor-
ties of the First (Esstern) District intend con-
testing the reelection Of George G.. King to Con-
gress, on the ground that the ballots were not in
the proper form, curious reason for the oppo-
nents of Law and Order" to make. 1t is not
denied that King has majority Of the votes
polled.
