RALEIGH. N. c. August 5.-The Conserva-
tiyes have carried the North Carolina Leg
islature.
Judge Brooks, of the United States
court will issue writs of habeas corpus for
the Caswell prisoners.
The Conservativesehave gained a Com
pressman in the Rockingham District.
James Turner, 'editOr the Raleigh Sentinel,
was waylaid on his way to the depot at
Hillsboro, Orange county, and arrested by
Holdep's militia this morning. This county
has not been declared in instruction, and
NO disturbance has occurred there.
Both parties are bitterly denouncing the
outrage.
The vote is very close in Wake county,
with heavy Conservative gains.
The Republicans confidently expected
1000 majority in this city, but received only
about $50.
1t is thought now that the Conservatives
candidates for the House of Representatives
have defeated the two Republican candi-
dates, and that Harris, the cOlOred candi-
date for Congress, has lost the county by a
small majority.
The vote for Senatorial candidates IN
Franklin county is very close. with chances
in favor of the Democrats This will be a
Conservative gain.
Orange. Rowan, Mecklenburg Cabarras
and Gliltord counties have gone Demo-
cratic.
In Alamance the Conservatives were so
intimidated by Holden's militia that they
did not vote, consequently the county went
largely Republican. The vote In Franklin
cided 1t is confidently expected that
Johnston and Chatham counties will go
largely Democratic.
Wake county not entirely heard from,
but it is thought the Republican ticket will
average about two hundred majority, with
the chances in favor Of the conservative
Senatorial candidates.
A telegram has been received which indl-
Gates that the Conservatives swept the
western portion of the State.
Gillian and Rogers, Conservative candi-
dates for Congress in this district, have
probably been elected by five hundred
majority
The present indications show the Con-
servatives have handsome majority IN the
Legislature on joint ballot, thereby securing
a Democratic United States Senator III
Returns come in slowly. The following
Is probably the result Of Congressional
elections: First district, Cobb, Republican.
Second district, Forty first Congress, Dixon,
Republican; Forty-second Congress, Thomas,
Republican. Third district, uncertain, with
chances SO far in favor of Waddill, Demo-
crat. Fourth district, FOrty-frst Congress,
Gillian, Democrat; Forty Congress,
Rogers Democrat. Fifth district, mncer-
tain, with chances in favor of Scott, Repub-
lican. Sixth district, ShOber, Democrat.
Seventh district, Harper, Democrat.
From what can be gathered Shipp, Demo
cratic candidate for Attorney General, is
elected by a handsome majority.
WILMINGTON, N. c., August 5-Returns
received to-day from eastern and central
portions of the State indicate the election of
four Conservative congressman from the
third. fourth, sixth and seventh districts,
with the fifth district in doubt. There is a
Conservative gain in nearly every county
heard from, leaving but little doubt of a
majority in the legislature on joint ballot.
Returns already in show that the Conserva-
tiyes gain twenty-five members OF the Leg
islature with more than half the counties yet
to hear from, and gains Of thirty-six members
will give Conservative majority on joint
ballot
In this Congressional district Dockery,
Republican, loses in every county heard heard
from. In New Hanover he loses over ioot
on former vote. This county certainly
elects one Conservative Senator and one
