Captain Neal. Of the Indiana. made state
ment to New Orleans reporter regarding the
quantity Of coal and wood burned on his
boat. He states that she Ia 1900 ton boat.
and goes on to say that. according to the
statement Of tho officers. she will burn every
twenty -four hours sixty cords OF wood. at

North Carolina Election.
Small Republican Gains all over
the State.
THE RESULT STILL
IN DOUBT.
Possible Success Of the Democratic
Ticket by Small Majority.

NEW YORK, Aug. A Raleigh special to
the Herald last night says returns from all
parts of North Carolina come in slowly and are
SO confused and conflicting as to increase the
general doubt and uncertainty as to the result
The Democrats assert that their candidate is
elected by 5000 to 10000 majority, and the Re-
publicans claim about the same majority for
their candidate.
AS far as heard from the despatch rates that
Caldwell, Republican, has gained about $500
over the Democratic vote of 1870.
At midnight Saturday, 60 counties show a
Republican gain of 1850 over over the vote of
1870. A later despatch states that II counties
give Caldwell, Republican, gain 2,737 over the
vote of 1870 leaving 2,26S to be overcome by the
Republicans in the remaining21 counties.
The Times says the returns from North Caro-
lima are not to sufficient to assure Republican
victory but show the Democratic reports to be
grossly exaggerated.
The Times comedies the ELECTION of Demo-
cratic Congressman and acknowledges the de-
feat of Settle.
RALEIGH, N. c., Aug 4-Oficial and partial
returns from rs counties reduce the Democratic
majorito of 1870 to some 1000. The remaining
IL counties are mostly small and will not mate
rally change these figures. The Republicans
concede the State by 1900 to 1000 majority
There is still much interest felt in the result.
