A NICE CALCULATION.-The Lexington
Flag" calculates that Mr.. Gilmer will be
elected Governor ''by q little over three
thousand four hundred votes"
The Flag could not stop at ''three thou
sand" A fraction of flour hundred'' is add
ed-a proof that the calculation was very
nice one. But, nice as it is, we regard it as
good evidence that Mr.. Gilmer will be
badly beaten. The result generally falls
several thousands below Known othing cab
culations. In Virginia, at Wise's election,
they were to have, at the lowest calculation,
ten thousand majority-the Richmond Wing
declaring that Wise would be beaten by at
least twenty Thousands small error of thir-
ty thousand! The Known othings are great
with fgures-before an election. After an
election, their occupations gone"
