Republican Congressman are elected and

WASHINGTON, Aug. Z.
Several dispatches have been received
here to-day from North Carolina, coming
from different sources and all Cl)ncur in
stating that the Republican State ticket is
positively elected. The majority is vari-
ously statedffron nine hundred to two
thousand. The Conservatives are not will
ling to give up the State. A few counties
are net heard from and both sides wait till
the returns are received from Them before
accepting any conclusion, There rs little
doubt that Caldwell is elected. There is
information here that the Liberal scheme
of pasting votes defrauded him of some
hundreds or thousands of votes, for the pa
pers were prepared in the North and had
the backs newly gummed.
NOON DISPATCHES.
WASHINGTON, DC, Aug. .7,noon.-Settlc Z,
telegraphs to Grant this morning that
North Carolina has elected the Republican
ticket by 900 to 800 majority.
New YORK, Aug. IA special dispatch
from Raleigh to the Times says Caldwell is
elected governor of North Carolina by one
thousand majority. There are as yet eight
counties to be heard from
The World'S Raleigh dispatch claims that
the latest returns elect Merrimon by 761
majority according to Democratic count
but adds that 1t is absolutely impossible to
decide until the official vote is in.
The Tribune says the returns which it
has this morning give Caldwell majority
of 406, butt is not disposed to give up the
State on present showing.
NIGHT DISPATCHES.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.-Unparalleled
frauds have been discovered in this cleo
ton. At one precinct in Brunswick coun-
ty all official vote was announced of 90
majority for Caldwell. On investigation
it appears that there were SO many irregu
larities and frauds that the whole vote of
the township is thrown out. This gives
Merimon a majority of three in Bruins
wick. There are also other frauds which
will give MerrimOn great advantage on
the official count. The Conservatives still
consider the chances even without calcu-
lating the gigantic frauds.
RALEIGH, August Z, s p. M.-The of
fetal and positive returns are pretty well
in, all the western counties having been
heard from except Ashe and Yancey.
Caldwell is elected by about one thousand
majority. The increased vote will amount
to seven or eight hundred or one thousand.
The Democrats claim that there has been
great frauds and it is thought the matter
will be contested.
The Radicals will have a jubilee to-mor-
row night. The excitement has subsidized
and the Democrats receive the news of de-
feat quietly.
