The following despatch, received by
ex-Gov. Vance, of North Carolina, was
furnished to us by Mr.. Read, of the
Southern and Atlantic Telegraph line:
CHARLOTTE, August "A despatch
just received from Hon. D. M. Barrin-
ger, Chairman OF the State Central Com
mittee, says: 'Twenty.seven representa-
tive Counties heard from give the Con-
servatives gain on Shipp's vote of
2,O27. The Radical gain so far is 1856.
The Conservatives are certain OF six out
of eight congressman, and probably
seven. The Legislature is Democratic
by two-thirds. The State goes Oonserva-
tive by 5000 majority certain, and may
reach 1000.
WASHINGTON. August 2.-The New
York Worlds Raleigh special puts Merri-
mons majority at 5000. The Herald
editorielly says it is unsafe to hazard q
prediction as to the result, from the
mesgre' returns at hand, and that, after
all, It Ia possible the negro Counties may
give the Stats to the Republicans. The
( Tribune editorially thinks the returns do
not warrant any positive statement as to
the result that the gains in the city
may prove decstttive-being caused by
the return Of the negroes to their
County places Of registry. The Times
special claims that the State has gone
Republican.
The dispatches received inithis city in
dicate avery quiet election everywhere.
The returns were awaited with anxiety
here, and the headquarters of the differ
ent political parties were crowded until
late hour. Numerous dispatches were
received and read, from both sides,
claiming the State.

turday, where he will remain few days.
RAhEIoH, August 2.-The returns
from twenty-seven Counties indicate
positively the election Of Merrimon, the
Conservative candidate for Governor,
six out of eight congressman, and sixty
majority on joint ballot in the Assembly;
thereby elaoting Q Conservative United
States Senator. in place of John Pool,
the Radical Republican. The Repnbli-
cans give mp the election, the only ques-
ton being that Of majorities. The elec-
tion was quiet and orderly throughout
the State. The contest in the Fourth
District, as yet, is doubtful, the chances
being in favor OF Rogers, the Oonserva-
tive. as also in the First District. The
probability is that seven Conservative
Congressman will be elected.
WILMINGTON, N. O., August 2-Rock-
ingham and Oarteret Counties give Con-
servative gains. A Republican gain in
Drk. 81 4.
Settle for Congress The probabilities
are that the Conservatives have carried
six out of the eight Congressional Dis
tricts. At Kinston, in Lenoir County,
Merrimon gains sixty.two votes. There
seems to exist no reasonable doubt of
Merrimon's election by decisive maio-
rity.
RALEIaH, August 2-2P. M.-Returns
come in slowly, though it is conceded
that 5Merrimon, the Conservative candi-
date for Governor, is elected by about
5000 majority. The contest in the
Fourth Congressional District is very
close, with equal chances of success for
the opposing candidates. Leach, Ashe,
Vance, Waddell and Robbins, the Demo
cratic Congressional candidates, are
elected. The Legislature will have forty
majority on: joint ballot.
NEW YonK, August 2.-The dispatches
received at the Liberal Republican and
Democratic headquarters here, to-day,
confirm the pews OF Democratic gains in
North Carolina, and estimate Merri-
mons majority at 10000. and gain OF
300 in Rockingham County, securing the
election Of Leach over Settle in the
Fifth District. W.
