The returns Of the local election in Hen
lucky for County officers come in slowly; but
wherever the election was fairly held the
resuls ahowB lh1ge Republican gains. In most
OF the towna and precincts the cotored vote
was only partially ro,lsd. Every species Of
terposed bs the Democratic election Judges
and chailenge!s, to prevent thclr voting. We

in every possible wnv from voting, and

all day, with few admitted to suffrage, about
two hundred Of them left the polls IN body

registered Republican voters in the city only
one hundred and Bi1ty-aix we're allowed to
vote. Many Of the whits Republicans refused
ia 60 10 the polls wheu it waa found that no
equal privileges wers offered them. Every
co!orcd voter was closely questioned, and,
when possible, excluded. No such election
vas ever held in the city before, aud it is to
be hoped it never will ba again. Even some

correspondent writing from Walton, Boone
County, states that tls cntiro Democratic
t.rhet was elected by some seven or eight hum
ared majority. Seymoar's majority in that
County 5 was, was foartsen hundred. But few col
none we're allowed 10 vote. There vas much
excitement is Grant County. At Cotdora one

The Democrats had control OF the precincts
in this city. and they exercised ali their ingc-
