Sholes' Type Writer.

The last Scientific american devotes
It's first page to an engraving and de-
scription of a beautiful and useful ia
vention, patented Oct. 80, 1871, by
Mr.. G. l.. Sholes, of Milwaukee. 1t
consists of machine for writing let
ters or other manuscript by means OF
set of movable keys played by the
fingers. The owner, if he be one OF
those whose handwriting is of the
Greeley order, may sit down to the
Type Writer, insert a sheet OF paper
touch the proper keys, and produce
document printed in clear and
handsome type. From sixty to eigh.
ty words per minute may be written,
and the motion is easy to the mus
cles of the hand. When we consider
the incalculable amount of the time
of business men, printers, lawyers,
&C., which is wasted in trying to de-
cipher bad writing, and the endless
mistakes and losses from the same
eau Sc, we see the advantages likely
to arise from Mr. Sholes' invention.

NORTH CAROLINA ELECTION !
A Close Vote-Both Sides
Claim a Victory!

North Carolina voted on Thursday
last for State officers, members of the
Legislature and Congress. This be-
ing the first State election since the
Baltimore nomination, the result is
watched for with unusual interest.
The State gave Democratic majors
ity in 1870, on Attorney General of
1921; and in 1871 gave a Democrat
ic majority Of 9,245. The first dis
patches estimated the result various
ly-both parties claiming victory.
But late reports give encouraging
news for the Republicans. The fol-
lowing is the latest news received
before going to press, which we
copy from the Dubuque Times of this
morning:
New York, Aug. 5.
The Times says The returns are rot sufFic-
lent to assure the Republicans of victory, but
show the Democratic reports to be grossly
exaggerated. The Times comedies five Dem
ocratic Congressman, and acknowledges the
defeat OF Settle
Raleigh special TO the Herald last night
says The returns are uncertain. The Demo-
Gratis assert their candidates elected by 500
TO 1900 majority, and the Republicans claim
about the same. Al midngh, Saturday 90
counties showed Republican gam of 1850
over the vote of 1879.
Caldwell has gained from z counties 2,737
over the vote of 1870, leaving 2,26S 10 be
overcome by the Republicans in 81 counties.
The Herald's Raleigh special says, II coun-
ties are heard from, and Merrman Demo
cratic) is now over 100 ahead The coun-
ties not yet heard from will probably increase
his majority.
THE LATEST
New York, Aug. >.
The Times Raleigh special tonight, saws
that ~ counties give Caldwell 900 majority
which cvnnot be overcome as the Democrats
will not get out the vote Of 1870.
Merriman (Democrat) says he will contest

Rep. majority is more than thousand.
