Election Returns.
Tho neople of this State voted on Thursday Last
e. Governor. for one member Of Congress to fill
,bs vac ,ncy occasioned by the resignation of Mr..
ly;upman, for members of the Legislature, and for

Ellis Democrat and Duncan K McRae ESQ.,, Dis.
trbnti"nist.
The Democrats ha e elected their candidate for
Governor by fifteen to twenty thousand ma
;,r;,v and have carried both branches of the Legs
a,ure by large majorties. Judge Ellis has gain,d
in al the counties thus far heard from, and that
upon the vote for Bragg and Gilmer, the majority
fr Gov Bragg in the State in 1856 being 1884.

below fifteen thousand.
