Since our last issue (says the Unon we have received
additional returns from tie various States but they 50
vague and, In instance 50 contradictory, that we
prefer TO postpone their publication until We get the official
statement uf Enough has been heard from Geor-
gin convince that the regular Pierce and King ticket
will have majority OF from five 10 Ten thousand all
other tickets line majority against Scott vii
not be less lan twenty five thousand. The returns from
Florida give large democratic gains On The recent 2uena
,orial election and indicate that The Stale will for Pierce
by twelve hundred majority. Louisiana gives Pierce
scrtan.c majority Alabama and Mississippi give inicnec
