NEw YoRk, Aug. "A dispatch to the
Herald states hat the latest returns elect
Merriman by 76l majority, according to the
best estimate, but adds that the result can
not be fully sscertained until the official
count is made.
The Times says thas Caldwell is elected
BY 4O6 majority.
A private telegram to the President states
that the entire Republican ticket is elected
by q small majority.
RALEIGH, Aug. 6.-Ail the counties have
been heard from except ten in the weitern
portion of the State. The vote thus far for
Caldwell is even with Ships majority Of
1870. lShipP was the Democratic candi-
for Attorney General in 1870, and carried
the State BY 4,22l msjority-ED, ARGUS ]
and in the remaining counties the candi-
dates stand 80 even chance Eight of the
counties TO hear from are in the Eighth Dis
trict, AMI the eleven counties already heard
from in that district gave MerrimHn a net
gain of over loo each. Everything turns
upon this, and the Democrats are hopeful
OF maintaining their gains. The Repubii-
cane are quiet and confident, sad claim
Caldvelfs election.
RALEIGH, Aug. I.-Oficial returns to-day
from counties already heard from change
but little the aggregate estimate heretofore
given. The Democrats still mold some 80
on Ships Democratic majority of 1870,
with eleven counties TO heSr from, which
counties will hold the vote of 1870. Both
parties figure with approximating results.
Information from the west will doubtless de-
eide matters.

| WILMINGTON, Aug. 6.-The comparison
of official votes of counties just received with
the unofficial vote on which estimates are
based at Raleigh, shows errors in at least
