THE RESULT IN DOUBT.

NO NEWS YET FROM THE REMOTE COUNTIES
BEYOND THE MoUNTAINs-RETURNs STILL
INCOMPLETE.
The returns and corrections received yesterday
were generally unfavorable to the Liberal side In
the 81 counties from which we have received returns
for which returns however rigid accuracy is by no
means claimed, Caldwell appears TO have a
majority of 1,756, giving him the benefit Of
doubts arising from conflicting returns In the
IL other counties, from which no intelligence has
yet been received the Conservatives had majority
of 1,4l2 in 1870, and of llOs in 1871 In the table
below, we give the Liberals a majority in
these counties of 1850, which we Judge more
likely than otherwise to be less than
the fact A thus constructed, our table
gives Caldwell majority of 4O6. We are not dis
posed to give up the State the present showing.
BY tomorrow it is to be hoped that the remote West
will make its existence known to the rest of the
State. The counties wanting are: Allegheny, Ashe,
Cherokee Clay, Jackson, Mason, Mitchell, Montgom-
ery.'Tansylvania andWatanga of which all but Mont
gomery are near the Tennessee boundary line.
