heard from will, in all probability, add Sc
veral thousand to the majority. Both
branches of abe Legislature are Republican,
by decisive majorities.
MAINE, New HAMPSHIRE, &c.-All the New
England states have gone for Fremont by
very large m.jorities. Even in Connecticut
the fusion majority is over 5000.
OHIo.-In many parts Of Ohio the demo-
Gratis showed handsome gains, and at one
time We even had faint hopes of carrying
the state. Fuller returns, however, show
that the state has gone for Fremont by a ma
jority of from IL to $4,000.
IsDIANA.-Democratic majorities every.
where much larger than at the October cleo
ton. Buchanan's majority will reach Is, 900
IowA.-Dubuque county gives Buchanan
1868 majority, Jackson 100, Linn $50 for
Fremont, other small town showing Fremont

New JEKsEY.-Dcmocratic plurality in the
state az least 4UUo
SOUTHERN SrATEs-All the southern states
except Maryland, have gone for Buchanan by
large majorities. Louisiana and Kentucky

they are now conceded. The following des-
patches received at Washington On Thursday
alone settle the question;
Mr.. Guthrie received late last evening

Nearly an hour elapsed from the time it was
discovered that Carroll was dead, until he

by the means Of an iron hook being let to
