KENTUCKY.
LOUISVILLE, Aug, 10.
KENTUCKY ELEcrIoN.


Official returns received at the Ledger
Office from thirty nine counties, show
that Leslie is receiving not only the larg-
est Democratic vote ever polled in Ken
lucky, but absolutely the largest vote
ever polled for any man Of any party in
the State. His vote in those counties ex
ceeds by 904 cast for Seymour in the
same counties in 1868, and exceeds the
vote cast for Stevenson that year in the
same counties by 2,l54. The vote cast
for the Democratic congressional ticket
in those counties last November, when
the negro vote was first poled at gene
raj election, was only 37,705 for Leslie.
At the late election, these counties gave
55,3S4 votes. q gain Of 1869 The ag.
gregate Democratic majority in 1870 was
32.2l4. Leslie's majorities in thirty nine
counties exceed those Of 1870 by 4,46l
His majority will reach near $4,000 Un-
official reports from about half the coun
ties of the State show that while Harlan
has polled heavy negro vote, there has
been heavy detection ofwhte men from
the Radical party, and if the whole Dem.
ocratic vote had been polled it would
have reached at least 10000.

New Towns IN THE CHEROKEE NATION
In accordance with the act passed by the Ter
ritorial Legislature, last session. the Cherokee
Nation is about to lay out four towns within
its territory, on the lines Of the railroads now
being built. The first is at Prairie City, a
second Is at the junction Of the Atlantic and
Pacific with the Missouri Kansas and Texas
railroad, n third on the line OF the latter road
and the fourth not yet determined. The
towns are to be one mile square. divided into
lots of $50 by so feet. Mr.. + Shredder, OF
Seneca, has been engaged to do the survey.
ing. and will commence his work In short
time. These lots are to be leased to whites
only in company with Indians.
RAILROADS IN THE TERRIToRY.-The rails
Of the Atlantic and Pacific railroad are now
laid beyond Junction City. The Missouri.
Kansas and Texas road is now finished and
the mails ser,e ed to Chouteau. about fifty
miles beyond Junction The Cherokee au-
thorities accuse the Atlantic and Pacific COM
pany of taking more ground for their stock
wards At Prairie City. than was stipulated in
the treaty. but no action has thus far been
taken in the matter, although there Is consid-
cradle talk.
Two surveying parties will start from the
terminus of the Atlantic and Pacific road this
week fully equipped and with an escort to
make the survey through to California.
