Election News.
The clarksburg Telegraph Is quite ju-
bilant over the election returns, mot
only in that county, but throughout the
State generally. 1t opens out in its
leader of Friday last, thus:
ttAnd let the song of victory be sung
with patriotic joy through out West YirS
giniR. The Wing democrRtic, alias con-
been totally routed in our State"
The Telegraph thinks 1t possible that
Col. Raymond has beaten Mr.. Wernin-
ger for the Senate, in that district. It
Will be rec0lleCted that no Union con-
Yention was held, and that the Colonel
and his opponent both ran on their own
individual hooks, and both as Union
men. Col. Raymond Is the old mem
Der, and from the very first mutterings
has been devoted and true to the gov
eminent of his country. The Telegraph
says that his great age was the main, ii
not the only, objection urged against
bin. A younger man was wanted by
many of the Union people. The vote
between him and Mr.. Werninger will
be very close.
OF Capt. Bristor's election, In TAYLOR
county, to the House OF Delegates, the
Telegraph says:
1--WE congratulate our Union friends
in Taylor county upon having secured
such an able representative in the Lee
gislature as Capt. Bristor. We will as
sure them that he will reflect honor
upon them. His ability and high moral
worth will reflect honor upon himself
and the people he representa-"
MARION CoJNTY
The Fairmont National calls attention
to the fact that the 'democratic'' ticket
in TINT county had the words itUnion
Ticket printed ON its head, (here 1t
was called "OhiO County Ticket, ~ but
that many of the persons who voted the
ticket could not go the words, and so
tore them OF and voted the democratic
ticket minus the words Union Ticket"
The Ndtio1,dE says Hthey scratched of
the " Onion" as they tried to tear down
the flag OF the country"
MASON COUNTY.
The Point Pleasant Regi8ter (which
by the way we are heartily glad to note
has come round again into the hands of.
Mr.. Fit2lGerald,) notices the election of
Capt Darnel independent Union) over
Mr.. Vaughn (radical UniOn.l The only
differences drawn by the Register be-
tween these two gentlemen, is that
Capt. Darnel declined to commit HIM
self yea or nay on the Constitutional
Amendment, while Mr.. Vaughn was
decidedly in favor of it.
Concerning the election in Mason
county, the Register says:
''Dix,s 1.-THE Union candidate for Senate)
majority in this county, over Morris
(dem.) Is 232.
sin this Senatorial District, we learn
Mr.. Dix is far ahead of his competitor,
Mr.. Morris-and his election is con-
coded. This vote for Senator was the
only test that applied to the five coun-
ties Of Mason, Putnam, Ranawha,
Clay md Nicholas, comprising this Sem
ntOrial District, and from it alone we
may judge of the relative strength of
the friends and opponents of the pro-
posed amendment TO our constitution,
both In this county and also in this
Senatorial District-Mr. Dix being in
favor OF, and Mr.. Morris opposed to,
this amendment.
CABELL COUNTY.
The Register, in speaking of the re-
suit in this county, says:
eve understand that in Cabell coun-
ty, j. III. Ferguson, the late Delegate,
was defeated by Colonel Witcher, late
of the Sd West Virginia cavalry. Cap
tain F, ran as the candidate of the
"OppositiOn,n having repudiated his
record made during tho last session of
the Legislature, when he took an active
part in favor of the Amendment and

The Union men in this county achiev-
ed a most decided and brilliant victory,
for which a great deal OF credit is due
to that sterling paper, the Journal. The
