PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 1.-THE Pennsylva-
MAN Of this morning claims a Democratic ma
jority of nearly 1000; and on the faith of
special dispatches claims I, 300 majority in
Clarion county, which yesterday came in 800
Union majority. If these special reports be
correct, the vote is a very close one, and will
require the official count to settle the question.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct I6.-The Ledger makes
the Democratic majority 2 .436, with eleven
counties unheard from, which last year gave
1852 majority. After closing last night, the
agent of the Associated Press here made some
reductions in his previous figures, showing

of $50
We have private despatch from Philade!-
phia this morning giving corrected returns
from fifteen counties published yesterday, as
adyices subsequently received by the Demo-
cratic State Central Committee assure them
These corrections show that the Democrats
have done 200 lin the aggregated better in
those counties than according to the accounts
from them to be found in the Suns summary
inserted above. They are Allegheny, Beaver,
Butler, Washington, Armstrong, Indiana,
Lawrence, Mercer, Westmoreland, Clarion,
Jefferson, Cambria, Greene, Philadelphia, and
Bucks. The Democratic majority in Bucks
reaches 900 according to printed slip from
our friends at the county seat giving the re-
suit from each township.
We have numerous dispatches from our
friends in the State Democratic Central Com.

mittce room in Philadelphia
We were led yesterday to claim a majority
of from eight to twelve thousand in the State
1t was found impossible to get the official re.
turns from the State ticket there, and friend
sent US about the majorities by which our city
Congressional candidates were elected, footing
up some s, 900 votes-or 5, 800 more than the
majority for the State ticket turned out to be
when it was finally positively ascertained,
which only occurred last night
We will not pretend to say what our ma
jority throughout the State will be, but with
out another correction such as we present
above, we have carried the State conclusively,
and we anticipate more Of them.
