The ELECTIoNs.-The Union, this morning.
claims the election of Atkins in the ninth dis
trict of Tennessee over Etheridge, to Congress
on the faith of an extract from the Nashville
Union, which it credits to that paper Of the Sth
instant. We, however, find it in that paper of
the 6th-two days before; yet we find no con-
tradietion of it from any quarter, nor yet its
confirmation. We should have had election
news from Nashville by telegraph up to yester-
day. On the whole, we regret to have to say
that we regard the result in that district of
Tennessee as still being in fog.
The Baltimore Sun of this morning evidently
doubts the election of Shaw, Democrat, to Con-
gress from the first district of North Carolina,
intimating that while the Democrats of North
Carolina claim his election by one majority their
opponents claim his defeat by sjority Of eight
votes.
The same paper explains that the Democrats
now claim the defeat Of GiImer, American, in
the fifth district. G.'s election was conceded a
day or two since, but further returns have
placed this different face on the matter.
TIE RACE FOR THE GooDwoOD CUp.-The
news of the defeat of MIR. Ten Brock in the
race for the Goodwood Cup, though not unex-
pected by the knowing ones in Washington, is
lily received in our limited sporting circles.
We have adopted the impression that Ten
Brock and his hackers are playing for match
against the winners, and, indeed, against any
horses in England They certainly believe
that they can beat that country, with all their
horses, particularly in races made upon the
usual American terms.
According to private advices, received here.
both Prior and Prioress had made time in pri-
vate trials preceding the Goodwood contest,
which, had it been made in the race, would
have surely crowned their efforts with victory
However, racing in these days is jockeying,
and we've an idea that Ten Brock desired to
have bis horses come out just as they did on
this occasion.
