Legislative Election.

WILMINGTON, August G:-The election to
fill the vacancy in the Legislature, which ex-
cited so much interest in the last few weeks,
passed off without disturbance yesterday.
Eaglts was elected by ab4t 400 majority,
IN . poll of 5000. Two Republican candl-
dates were in the field. The Eagles fac
ton, led by Northern whites, represents
what is known here as the more extreme
Republicans. La,kin, moderate Republic
can, was generally supported by Conser-
vative whites. The issue was regarded as
so important that the county was esanvasscd
by Gen. j. C. Abbott, United States Sena-
tor, in behalf OF Eagles. The election cx-
cited unusual interest, because it was the
first evidence Of serious split in the Radical
party. The conservatives had no candi-
date, and polled about half their strength
for Larkln.
The cars commenced running on the City
Railroad to-day, amid much enthusiasm.
