Election Returns.


The returns come in slowly. We give elsewhere
be vote of the people and the army in separate
a5les.
In the first District the contest seems to be be-
xeen Dr. Edward Warren and the Hon. W. N. d. e.
Smith. As far as heard from Mr.. Smith leads D..
Warren in the Counties 264 votes, and the latter
sads Mr. Smith II in the army, leaving Mr.. S. 1877
Notes ahead. Result doubtful.
In the second District, as far as heard from, Mr..
Bridsers leads COL Yellowley 2l2 votes in the army,
and 10 in the Counties. Hyde, Pitt, and Beaufort
have no doubt given Col. Y. considerable majorites
and Halifax has given Mr.. B. a small majority
The chances seem to be decidedlyin favor of Col
Yellowley.
In the third District as far Is heard from, giving
Col. McRae the reported majority of 800 in Whit
6rds battalion, Dr. Leach leads him 10 in the army,
s1d 7yo In tho Counties, with Dupln, Onslow, Ora
ven, and Carteret to be heard FROM DR.. L. has no
doubt carried Onslow, and he has carried Jones by
IA small majority. A very small vote, if any, must
Aaye been poled in Craven and Carteret, and it is
not possible that Col. McRaes vote in Duplin can
overcome Dr. Leach's majority. DR.. Leach is no
doubt elected. His own neighbors, the people of
Johnston County who know him best, have given
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 274 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. lfBladen, Colum-
bus. and Brunswick have voted for Mr.. Strange,
/ they have not done so by sufficient majorities to
elect him. Lieut. Fullers election seems to be con.
coded.
In the fifth District as far as heard from, Capt.
Turner leads Mr. Arlington 374 votes in the army,
and 9l3 in the Counties, making 1,2s7 maJdFty.-
The votes of Nash and Franklin may reduce Capt
Turner's majority to 1000.
In the sixth District the Hon. John A. 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, as far as heard from, Mr..
Christian leads Mr. Ashe 297 votes in the army, and
2s2 in the Counties. Mr.. c. has probably carried
Tin 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
votes in the army and Mr.. L. leads DR.. R. s5 votes
in the Counties If the army and County votes, as
r,ported in the last Charlotte Bulletin are correct
and if all the army vote has been received, NJ dan
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 hinth District, as far as heard from, Mr.
Smith leads Mr. Gather 1872 votes in the army. w
! Barn that Burke, Davie Iredell, and Yadkin have
voted for Mr. Gather, and Wilkes and Alexander
|for Mr.. Smith Wilkesboro gave Smith "a, ant
Gather %. We have nothing from Ashe, ALE
ghany Caldwell, and surry.
In the tenth District, as far as heard from, Gen
Logan leads Mr.. Hymsn SO votes. At Ashevile tn
vote was Hyman 60, Erwin 40. Logan ID, Davidson
S. The Henderson Home Guards, out on duty, CAV
Logan SO majority. Two boxes in Polk giyedogal
.43 majority. Gen. Logan is no doubt elected.
The Conservatives have certainly carried six t
eight out of the ten members. Under the circum
stances it is glorious triumph.
We learn that certain ardent and benghted De
structives in Granville County have lost larg
amounts by betting against Capt. Turner's election
Thousands of dollars have changed hands. On
poor fellow-an overseer-lost his whole year
wages, 1000, on Mr.. Arlington. We ask leay
respectfully to make one or two suggestions on th
subject. Let our friend, Mr.. Arlington. .consol
the losers by plentiful supplies of the best Mas
brandy and let no benighted Destructive presum
