Election Returns.

The returns come in slowly. We give elsewhere
the vote of the people and the army in separate
tables.
In the first District the contest seems to be be-
tween DR.. Edward Warren and the Hon. W. n. Fl.
Smith As far as heard from Mr. Smith leads D..
Warren in the Counties 264 votes and the latter
leads Mr. Smith n in the army, leaving Ir. S. lS7
votes ahead. Result doubtful.
In the second District, as far as heard from, Mr..
Brdgers leads Col 1ellowley 212 votes the army,
and Is in the Counties. HYDE, Pitt, and Beaufort
have no doubt given Col Y considerable maiorities,
and Halifax has given Mr.. B. a small majority
The chances seem to be decidedly in favor of Col.
Yellowley.
In the third District, as far as heard from, giving
Col McRae the reported majority of 800 in Whit
fords battalion, Dr. Leach leads him 19 in the army,
and 796 in the Counties, with Duplin, CnslOw, Cra-
ven. and Carteret to be heard from. Dr. L. has no
doubt carried Onslow, and he has carried Jones by
small majority. \ very small vote, if any, must
have been polled in Craven and Carteret and it is
not possible that Col. McRae's vote in Duplin can
overcome Dr. Leach's majority. DR.. Leach is no
doubt elected. His own neighbors, the people of
him nine hundred and fifty -four votes out of eleven
hundred and ninety polled in the army and at home
In the fourth District, as far as heard from, Lieut.
Fuller leads Mr.. Strange in the army PA vOtes.-
We have no full County votes, but we learn that
Mr. Strange has carried New Hanover, and Lieut.
Fuller has carried Robson, Cumberland Richmond,
and Harnett by large majorities. fBladen, Colum-
bus and Brunswick have voted for Mr.. Strange,
they have not done so by sufficient mojorities to
elect him. Lieut. Fuler's election seems to be con-
ceGed
In the fifth District, as far as heard from, Capt
Turner leads Mr.. Arlington 374 votes in the army,
and 913 in the Counties, making 1927 majority
The votes of Nash and Franklin may reduce Capt
Turner's majority to 1000
In the sixth District the Hon. John \. Gilmer is
elected. There was no regular opposition. Col
Brown, who was voted for by some of his friends,
was not candidate.
In the seventh District, far as heard from, Mr..
Christian leads Mr.. Ashe 297 votes in the army and
2G2 in the Counties. Mr. c. has probably carried
Gn addition to Chatham, in our table, Randolph,
Davidson, Moore, Montgomery, and Stanly, and is
no doubt elected.
In the eighth District according to statements
Of votes thus far, DR.. Ramsay leads Mr.. Lander s
votes in the army, and Mr.. L. leads DR.. R. So votes
in the Counties. fthe army and County votes as
reported in the last Charlotte Bulletin are correct
and if all the army vote has been received Mr.. Lam
der is elected. But We do not give it up yet A
close comparison of the official vote will no doubt be
necessary to determine the result
In the ninth District, as far as heard from, Mr..
Smith leads Mr. Gather 122 votes in the army. We
learn that Burke, DAvie, Iredell, and Yadkin have
voted for Mr.. Gather, and Wilkes and Alexander
for Mr.. Smith. Wilkesboro' gave Smith GA, and
Gather %. We have nothing from .Ashe, ALE,
ghany, Caldwell, and Surry.
In the tenth District, as far as heard from. Gen.
Logan leads Mr.. IIyman SO votes. At Asheville the
vote was Hyman 60, Erwin 40, Logan 15, Davidson
g. The Henderson Home Guards, out on duty, gave
Logan G3 majority. Two boxes in Polk give Logan
4S majority. Gen. Logan is no doubt elected.
The Conservatives have certainly carried six to
eight out of the ten members. Under the circum
Stances it is glorious triumph.
We learn that certain. ardent and benighted De
StructlVes in Granville County have lost large
