out Of the State, have asserted, with great apparent
confidence, as if they had authentic information,

celyed, including the reported majorities gathered
from the Florida newspapers of both political par

BELL or Mr.. MAXWELL, the Democratic candidate,
IS elected The vote is so close that the official re-
turns will alone settle the question Mr. WARD
IS probably defeated by about one hundred and
thirty or forty votes A carefully compiled state
