In ippOmattOX for the "KEOXyilIe
Clique"
MaiOritics Ranging from 7aO TO
1000.

The election last Thursday passed of quietly
though there was great excitement and full
vote. The friends of the different candidates
worked zealou,ly and tho result is glorious
victory for the Republican ticket. The frantic
efforts of the Press amt Hcrold, which contain
ed full column of appeals to stand by the
party, and dire threats to answer "Maynards
harangue' have been unavailing. The Repub.
licans worked gloriously and because of the
splendid ticket put into the field thcy have won
an Appomattox victory. We take it as a sting
ing rebuke TO the intolerant spirit of
Tennessee Democracy and an ovcywhcm-
ing condemnation of the miserable
little Knoxville ring that has its headquarters
in the Press and HereH Office The people Of
Knox county have spoken and a gloriou, tri-
umph, one of the most decided, one of the most
glorious, one of the most significant ever won
in Knox county is the result "Maynard's

Greeley organ that though they may not know
anything about Knox county politics, the grand

THE RESULT.
We do not wish to be understood a claiming
the maiorties given for Blans or Harris a, rur--
resenting the majority of the Republican party,
but we do claim that the contest between Bear
den and Boyd was fair test OF the strength Of
the two parties in Knox county. No one look
ing ut the vote of the 18th and other strong Re-
publican districts would claim the vote between
Williams and Ray rs mt all Il test of the Repub-
lican strength. We are entirely satisfied from
the results of yesterday work that KnoA coun-
ty will give Grant next November majority of
five hundred.
Up to the time Of going to press we have re-
ceived partial returns from all the districts in
the county except the 9th and Goth, and esti-
mate from the figures found elsewhere, that
Gossetts majority will reach between seven and
eight hundred. He received more votes than
both of his opponents. Bearden's majority will
reach little higher. BLANC is elected County
Court Clerk by about sixteen hundred majority,
while Harris will reaches over two thousand.

ofthe enemy He appealed not 20 the prejudi-
ces, but TO the reason of the colored man to
stand fast 10 tho principles of the party which
had given them all their privileges they now
enjoyed.
Greeley as the Liberal-D emocratic-C onscr-
vative candidate, reminded him of an anecdotc
that IS said TO have occurred in Mississippi, and
which would illustrate the idea exactly. A
gentleman rode up to the plantation of plant
er named BoGkins, with whom he was acquaint-
ed and seeing an lrishman saving wood the
following colloquy took place:
Is Mr.. Rodkins at homeg' Faith and he
IS, SIR Can see him for a few minutes Pr
ShuCe and you can, SIR We'll, | wish TO
speak to him IAN right sir; and if its
spaldn yez want, l m Mr.. Bodkins.' The gem
tleman, who knew the planter intimately. was
astonished at the fellows eilrontery, and eN-
claimed, " DO You mean to tell me that You are
Mr.. Bodtins Pr To which Pat replied, Faith,
and have on Mr.. Bodkins' cid coat, and isn't
that the same as if Mr.. Bodkns was in it ?"
Greeley wasn't Democrat, but he had on
their coat.
Squire Yardleys speech was an able effort
and that his views were endorsed was sufficient
~ attested by the frequent cheering with which
it was greeted

opinion of German Geographer Kilpert,
who discovered various geographical blum
ders in his letters. He thinks card of

and hence the whole is YalUeless, and
thinks that it is possible that Stanley new

On Friday morning the glad intelligence was

all doubtful-that of Attorney General-had
been carried by the Republicans of our gallant
old county, electing Mr. Ray by twenty-four
votes. This was as gratifying to his friends ms
it was n source of chagrin TO the supporters of
his opponent, who thought, and not unreasona-
bly,, that they had elected one man on their
ticket.

What Greeley Knows About andy Johnson.

Johnson may find time i'm his rural home
TO mediate upon the following little tes-
timonial" from H. G.. His friends ought
to paste this on their Greeley tickets:
I'VE believe anything possible Of Mr..
Johnson. His administration is record
of deception, cunning, disolyalty-antag-
onism to the best int rest of the country.
He has made the administration of Buch-
anan respectable by showing degradation
70 which even Mr. Buchanan could not
sink. He has betrayed his party he has
b; trayed his friends he has betrayed his
country. Nothing is left of his admins
tration but a few miserable jobbers like
those who hang around him, and few
wretched political adventures like Black.
The men who accepted contumely for
his cause, like Seward and Randall and
Welles, he Is impatient 70 drive out of his
Cabinet. The savage of sahara is not in-
sensible To the obligations of friendship,
hut even this no longer remains with Mr.
Johnson. - Tribune, -iHg!st ~, 1868.

PRESS DISPATCHES
RALEIGH, y. c., Aug. 4.-The official
and partial returns have been received
from seventy-five counties, which reduce
the Ship majority to some two thousand.
The remaining nineteen counties are
mostly small and will not immaterially
change these figures. The Republicans
concede the state by from fifteen to TWEEN
ty-five hundred majority. There is still in
tense excitement felt in the result, as the
Democrats are slow to believe in victory
until the fact is established. The rejoicing
in the State will be great as soon as the
positive returns will exhibit the election
of the Democratic ticket.
NEW YORK, Aug. A Raleigh special
to the Herald last night says the returns
from North Carolina come in slowly and
are so confused and conflicting as to in
crease the general doubt and uncertainty
as to the actual result. The Democrats as
sert that their candidate is elected by from
fifteen hundred TO two thousand majority,
and the Republicans claim about the same
majority for their candidate as far as heard
from. The dispatch states that Caldwell,
republican, has gained about 300 over
the Democratic vote in 1870. At mid
night Saturday, siXty-three counties show
n Republican gain of |, $50 over the vote of
1870. a later dispatch states that II coun-
ties give Caldwell a Republican gain of
,, 49, over the vote of 1870, leaving >, PCS to
be overcome by the Republicans in the re-
manning p counties.
The HerdipS Raleigh special saws seven
ty-seven counties have been heard from,
and Merrimon is now | 100 ahead The re-
naming counties will probably be heard
from to-day.
The Times Raleigh special says Cald-
well has ,43l majority in seventy-four
counties, and returns from remaining coun-
ties will probably reduce his majority to
three hundred. But official count only will
determine the result. The Tribune, World
and Sun still claim that the State has gone
Democratic.

GENEVA, July 20.-The SlsiSs TINES
confirms the report now current that the
Tribunal Of Arbitration has decided in
favor Of America in the case Of the priva.

ish government did not use sufficient pre-.
cautions to prevent the departure OF that
vessel from English ports. The Tines

1t also states that the Board of Arbitra-
tion disallowed the claims OF the Ameri-
can government arising out Of the depre-
datiOns OF the Boston, JEFF. Davis, Music
and several other smaller Confederate
cruisers. The reasons are that the charges
OF negligence on the part Of the British

not been proved.
