ssno seven hundred more than Clark, which. judg
1os frsm The closeness Of the vote, as far ~ re-
ID ms have been received, we should think are

Tie returns for Lieutenant Governor are 80

be oetTeea Ludlox, tie soft shell democrat, aud
Bsigadiss .Gas'avus Ado,phus Scroggs, the Know
nothing candidate.
