Reports from Other Counties.
We have reports from Rowan and Davie,
Iredell, Johnston, Franklin, Orange, Chat
ham, Davidson, and other counties.
| Rowan and Davie are in doubt, the vote
in Rowan being close.
The returns from Statesville leave no
doubt of the election of ]. @. A. Bryan, c.
J. Cowles, Jerry Smith, c. c. Jones, and
Wesley George, Republicans, for the coun-
ties of Iredell, Wilkes, Alexander, and
Caldwell.
We have good reason to believe that DR..
James Hay and Nathan Gulley, Republicans
are elected in Johnston.
We think it probable that John H. Will
hanson and James T. Harris, Republicans,
are elected in Franklin.
Warren is reported as having elected John
Read and John A. Hyman, Republicans,
by large majority.
The contest in Orange is very close, but
we still have hope that B. S. Hedrick and
Henry Jones, Republicans, have been elected.
1t is reported that John. A. Mcdonald and
Kelley Mitchell, Republicans, have been
elected in Chatham.
From the returns from Lexington we en-
tertain no doubt of the election of Isaac
Kinney and Spencer Mullican, Republicans,
for Davidson County.
First Gun from the West.
A friend writes us as follows from Burke
County. We have no doubt carried the two
delegates from Burke and Mcdowell:

All hail, Old Mecklenburg!
A friend writes Us as follows from Char
lotte:
"The election is closed The Re6s give it
up-say we have beat them in the I" City,
$50. What little news we have from the
County is very favorable. The editor of the
Neus is around tonight hunting up names
ticket. They. the Rebs, used money very
profusely and of them has been arrested
for bribery, other arrests are expected to fol-
low. They made a desperate fight, using
all kinds of tricks and low, mean acts with
plenty of impudence thrown in. Their main
point was trying to deceive the colored yo-
.ers with tickets, but the leading coloredi men
defeated them in every thing they attemp-
ted. They had a foreigner at the polls, pen
I'll in hand, recording every white man who
7oted the Republican ticket"
