KENTUCKY ELECTION.

LOUISVILLE, August IL, 1871.
Full returns from nry counties are received,
which show Lese's majority to be
1856 less In those counties than that OF
stevenson (democrat In 1868, Notwithstanding
the fact Lese's total vote In the same counties Is
greater than StevensOn's The difference In the
najortes therefore Is due to the increase OF The
republican vote since 1865 largely from the colored
population who had not then been enfranchised.
