The North Carolina Election.
CHARLOTTE, N. O., August Gall the
returns are in except from nine Western
Counties, which gave Conservative
majority in 1870, except two; and as the
returns now stand, If those Counties
show no decrease in the Conservative
majority on Shipp's vote, tho majority
for Merrimon will be 1000. Five Con-
servative members of Congress out Of
eight are elected, and the Legislature is
two. thirds Conservative on joint ballot.
1t those Western Counties prove true to
Shipp's vote, the election of Merr;mon is
oerf'in; and we have good reason for be-
lieving they will give an increased Con-
servative majority, notwithstanding the
immense amount Of the funds of the
Government that were used in that por-
ton OF the State. If the State goes
Conservative. it is against the vast ma
chlnery of the Government, including
the Treasury, fraudulent voting and
bribery.

The Worlds Raleigh despatch says the
election will be very close; that if Csld-
well obtains the same ratio of gain in
the Counties to be heard from, he will
be elected by very small vote. Onslow

make his chances more favorable.
The Herald's Raleigh despatch says it
