gains from every section of the State are re.
ported. Wake county has gone Democratic
by gain of some six hundred. The State
has gone largely Democratic, with almost o
certainty of seven out Of eight congressman.
The Legislature is largely Democratic.

siasm here. Business is generally suspended,
every one being eager to obtain the latest
news.

from every portion Of the State. The State

thousand. Seven Democratic congressman

cratic gain Of some twenty in the Legisla-
ture. There is great rejoicing in the city

WILMINGTON, August 7.-Returns received
today from all over the State confirm last
nights dispatches. The Conservatives have
swept the State like a whiIlwind. The
Legislature is Conservative by Il largely-in-
creased majority. In this the Fourth judi
ca district the majority for Mccoy (Conssr-
Yatire) will probably reach 500 to 700. The
returns now coming in are all one way. 1t
is impossible to estimate correctly the ma
orty for the State ticket, but it will proba-
bly, reach 10000.
Tennessee.
MEMPHIS, August T.-Tbe Conservative
victory, probably, is much larger than was
supposed by most Of the sangTine support
erS, the Conservatives having carried every
ward in the city, except the Fifth, which
only gave majority Of 90 for the Republic
cans. The Conservative majority in the city
is 1893, and the total vote over 10000, or
about 1000 more than the ordinary vote.
This is accounted for on the ground Of hos
tillty to the ciyil-rights bill and mixed
schools, and business being almost entirely
suspended, all went TO the polls. The Con-
ScrYatiYe majority in the county will be over
1000.
KNOXVILLE, August 1.-The election in
Knoxville and throughout Knox county
Yesterday was the most exciting for many
years. Horace Maynard made two speeches
during the canvass, endorsing the cvil-rights
bill as party measure. Senator BrownloW
was openly hostile to the bill, which he
termed the sum of yi!lainies and Quintes-
sence Of denominations. The result of the
election was 4 complete revolution through
out the city and county, with sweeping ma
jorities for the Conservatives and anti.ciyil-
rights ticket. The city was wild with joy
last night, and the county people are crowd
Ing into town to-day rejoicing over the un.
eXampIcd victory.
NASHVILLE, August Livery ward and
all the districts in this city except the Th!r-
teenth and Twentieth have made official re-
turns. The regular Democratic ticket is
elected by m2jorities ranging from 1000 to
5000.
Judge Cooper, for Chancellor, has $3.50
majority over UBrien; and over OBrien
and Mccain together, 932. The two districts
to be heard from will not change the result
either way over 100.
Tue result throughout the State, rs far rs
beard from, is that the Democrats have swept
The State and elected their candidates in every,
county. Knox county goes Democratic By
from 500 to 900 majority.
Kentucky.
LOUISVILLE, August THE town of Shep-
herdsyile, BuIIi!t county, was the scene of
great excitement Tue,dly. It appears that
on election day the friends Of Carpenter, the
Republican candidate for county judge, dis.
triouted whiskey by the bucketful to the
negroes at the polls. There was much drunk
enness among them, and q difficulty arising
between them and a white man, large num-
Der of negroes pursued him to the hotel, but
be escaped.
The disorder continued the next day, and
in difficulty between the negroes and a
Frenchman, he shot and killed the ring
leader OF the drunken mob. The Infatuated
negroes pursued him, and he also took re.
fuge in the hotel. The negroes then sur
rounded it, and, with drawn pistols, de-
maDded bis surrender. Meanwhile the white
people collected, and danger Of bloody col
lison was imminent. The negroes finally
dispersed, but duriu. Wednesday and yes
terday the whites from the surrounding
country have been coming into town, and
great fears are expressed that collision be-
tween whites and blacks may yet occur.
