..t LYNCHBURG, VA, July7.
Editors Of the Register:
Returns so far received make certain
the election of Walker by at least 10000
majority. The Conservative majority
in the Legislature will be forty on the
Joint ballot. Most of the Congressional
candidates are also elected. The State
has been swept rs bya wild fire, the
whites being unit for Walker. The
negroes were dispirited and divided.
We have elected our ticket in Camp
bell county by over five hundred ma
jority, and Ridgeway has been elected
to Congress. The election was the most
orderly and pacific ever held in Yir-
ginia, only the bittsrest Radicals
charging fraud and intimidation.
Gloria in ercelsiS. GREGORY.
RICHMOND, Va, July G.-The election
passed off quietly. After nightfall the
streets reseunded with cheers for Walk
er and victory i'll the State. A meeting
of Walker men was held and addressed
by six colored men and several whites,
including Mr.. Hunnicutt. Prominent
Walker men here claim the State by
sc, 900 majority, and decided ma ority
in both branches of the Legislature.
Prominent Wells men claim that they
have decided majority in The State, but
give no figures. Nearly every telegram
received here by either side shows
large gains for Walker and a serious
split in the negro vote which it was
claimed would be cast solid for Wells.
The heaviest detection of colored men
from the Wells ticket is in the South
Side counties, where the Walker men
run several colOred men for the Legis-
lature.
In Charlotte, very strong cOlored
county, 400 blacks voted for Walker.
Up to midnight kilograms were received
RED the following counties: Bedford
bv 100 majority; Augusta by 300 major
ity; ALTERNATE by 300 majority; Gull
pepper by 200 majority; Washington
by 100; Smith by 100; and Louisa and
all the white counties west of the NOM
tains.
Wells carried Petersburg by 1900,
Graysville by 300 and Chesterfield, Not
toway, Charlotte and Halifax. The
congressional candidates successful so
far as heard from, are, Porter, Wells
man, in this district; Booker, Walker
man, in Pittsylvania district; Norton,
colored, in the York district, and Nc.
Kinzie, Walker man, in the Alexandria
district.
In very few counties have the blacks
polled their registered vote, while the
whites everywhere have polled nearly
their entire strength. In this legisla-
tive district the Walker men claim
5000 majority, which gives them II
members of the Legislature.
1t is estimated by old politicians here
that Governor Wells defeat is the mos I
decided that has occurred since the
Presidential campaign of 1856. The
Constitution, with the Objectionable
clauses expulgated, is adopted by an
overwhelming majority.
About 30 counties have been heard
from, which give Walker nearly 1900
majority.
RICHMOND, July 7-l:3OA. M.-Thir-
ty-three counties heard from, which
alone give Walker $4,000 majority.
Walkers majority in the State is es-
timated by additional returns this morn
ing NJ 10000. Both branches of the
Legislature are undoubtedly carried by
the Walker men. This district elects
eleven Walker men to the Legislature.
The returns upset the calculations of
The Wells men, based on the vote by
color, some of tho blacklist counties
having given large majorities in favor
of Walker. '...
RICHMOND, July Up to one o'clock
today the dispatches received here
show that Walker carries the State by
4U,OUO, ana the Legislature by forty ON
the joint ballot. The following Walker
candidates for Congress are certainly

Mines in the 9th; Gibson in the Stk
Ridgeway in the 5th; Segar, Con rress

Congressman are elected Platte in tn,
I'd district; Porter in the Sd; Norton
colored, in the lst. All the telegram
OF this. morning give overwhelming
gains for Walker, so large ~ to dives
the result of the interest of doubt
The Walker men are assembled i'll tn
streets in great crowds, cheering owe
the returns.

City and county give Wells 1905 ma
jority, and Warwick eosnty about l2C
Harris, the colored candidate for lieu
