! The election throughout the State passed
| of quietly and resulted in splendid victory
for the Democrats, who elected every mar
oftheir ticket in all three counties.
This secures to the white men of New Cas-
tie county the control Of the Levy Court fol
the county for four years longer at least, Al
that body will remain six Democrats and 6vs
Republicans. This result in the county wa,
better than the most sanguine Democrats
anticipated. We hoped and expected TO carry
the county and elect our ticket, but only BY
small msjority 45o or 60 votes.
In the State, too, the majority 10 better
than was expected. No sane man expected to
elect Major LoAand, but Dr.. Jumps well
known popularity, and geutlemanly bearing.
which rendered him worthy opponent, made
us fear that be would run much better than
he did, and we did not think our majority
wonld 60 over 1000. $3.50
The election was one of the most holly con-
tested ones that have been held in this State
for many years, and the result is q sure token
