Lincoln.
Sufficient returns have been receiv.
cd to indicate the election Of Captain
Jones, Democratic nominee for Clerk
of the Court Of Appeals, by large
majority.
The official returns have not been
received from all the counties in the
Judicial District, but we have enough
to fix the majority Of Hon. NJ. II.
Owsley, Democratic nominee for Dis
trict Judge, at near 1000. George
Denny, jr., Republican nominee, is
supposed to he elected to the Com.
monwealth's Attornetship, by a very
small majority. The following are
the majorities official and reported, up
to the hour Of going to press:
OwsLEy--Lincoln 5S3; Boyle %;
Garrard As; Casey 400; Pulaski 100;
Russell 1865. Total 1886.
TurTLE-Wayne 800.
DESSY-Pulaski 800; Garrard 29O.
Russell 231. Total 1921.
CHRISTIAN = Lincoln 141; Boyle
1856; Casey, so; Wayne 400. To-
tai 727.
We have one report from Russell to
the effect that Chrisman carried the
county by 1875 maj. We also have a
report from Casey that Denny carried
that county by 200 maj. The Louis
vile Commercial of yesterday, report
ed Denny's maj. in Russell at 23l.

Wicklife, 3D. for Judge of the
Judicial District, is supposed
to be elected by over 200 maj. !
Mercer county elected the straight
Democratic ticket tor county Offices,
by over 200. Harrodsburg elected
negro Town Marshal by 4S maj.
The Radical Independent trick did
not win in any of the forty counties
# the State where it was tested, save |
n poor old Lincoln.
The negro vote was demoralized and
livided in nearly every county of the
State, so far as heard from. Radical
SIN is a dead cock in the pit in Ken
lucky. The more is the shame upon
Id Democratic Lincoln.
Barren county elected full Demo-
ratio ticket, and according to the
eternal fitness of things" scattered
nd demoralized the negro element Of
he Republican party, so that it can
ever organize.
The contest in Madison county was
ne Of the warmest ever known in
his section of the State, and resulted
n the complete triumph of the Dem.
cratic party by majorities ranging
rom $50 to l60.
From a later report, we learn that
he Democratic candidate for Tailor,
vas defeated.
The Republican party OF Fayette
vas completely routed. Every Dem
,cratic candidate elected. Jessamine
county Democracy followed suit and
,aised a triumphant banner over a
handsome majority.
Adair county Democrats scratched
heir tickets and lost two county Off
,ers.
Bourbon county was afflicted with
tickets and Radical
,traighis, but elected the full Demo
cratic ticket by the usual msjo%ities.
Rockcastle county went Democratic,
Liberal and republican, givingCochran,
tor Appellate Clerk. and Randall for
Circuit Judge. majorities.
Local Option was defeated in
number Of instances. but was success
full by good majorities in many towns
and districts in the State. Louisville
went for whisky, and more Of It, by
about6, 600. Local Option carried in
Frankfort; also in four precincts out
of FIVE in Shelby county.
Nearly all of the Republican can
didates were elected in Garrard, but
not by a strictly party vote. The
most exciting and holly contested race
was between Kennedy, D.) and
Faulkner, (R.) for Circui. Clerk. The
latest report elects Kennedy by 4
votes. His election will probably be
contested on account of alleged illegal
voting. Sam Miller was elected Town
Marshal, and X. l.. Grinnan, Police
Judge of Lancaster.
Special correspondence to the jour
NAL from Somerset, August 4th;-
Election passed off quietly. Both
