MADISON. Nov. S.-The first official returns
were received at tho executive office to-day
from Jackson county. A telegram received
here to-day announces the election of George
Grimmer in the First district, which gives tho
republicans tweuty-four in the senate and the

WASHINGTON TERRITORY.
San FRANCISCO, Nov. 8.-Portland dispatch:
Latest adyices from Washington Territory
places the election of Brenz beyond doubt.
The republicans have elected most of the legis-
lative ticket and district officers.
CLOSE FIGURING.
RICHMOND, Va, Nov. S.-The Ninth Congress
sional district is still in doubt. It is difficult
to get returns from several counties, they being
off the railroad line with no telegraphic COM
mlnication. In eleven counties McMullen
conservative and greenbacker. leads Richmond,
conservative nominee, hfty-seyen votes. 1t is
expected Newberry, independent will divide
the opposition vote witt MchInllen in the four
remaining counties sufficiently to give Rich
mond plurality. hIcMulieo gets nearly the
solid negro vote. Full returns az rot vet in from
the first district, where there's strong fight be-
tween Beale. conservative, and Round, indie
pendent. Beale will carry the district over
Round and Critcher, independent aud conser-
vative, but it is impossible to state the major.
lty or plurality.
PROBABLY A LOSS.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Nov. S.-Returns thus
far received give Bsby, republican, for Con-
gress, $50 majority over Hull democrat, with
three counties to hear from. These gave in
1876 democratic majority of 756, and it is
expected there Will be a falling off in the vote
this year.
FRAUDS CHARGED.
New ORLEANS, Nov. S.-Citizens continue to
make affidavits against the democratic election
managers, charging frauds in the count, ballot
box stuf1ing, destroying votes polled, etc. These
frauds involve titles for congress in the first
and second districts, as well as all candidates
for city and parish offices. Returns from So
parishes give Burke. democrat, for state
treasurer, 39.730 majority. They gave the
dem ocrats $1,000 majority in 1876. The demo
Gratis made large gains for congressman and
legislature by making fusion tickets in many
parishes, by which the negroes were awarded
such offices as sheriff and police jurors justices
Of the peace, constable and coroner. The re-
pubiicans, however, aseribe the peculiarties of
thr wig off the coiored vote to intimidation,
citing the Tensas parish affair case in point,
also to the failure to put a regular republican
ticket in the field.
ST.. Louis, Nov. S.-Baker, democrat, for con-
gress, thirteenth district, reelected by 5000
plurality. Ford's, greenbsck republican, ma
jority in the ninth district will reach 1900
Cleady, democrat in the first district, part of
which is in this city, will pro badly have plu-
rality Of $500. Frost's plurality in the third
district Metcalf is increased by returns
from the county precincts to LOO. In the
eleventh district, Clark, present member, has no
opposition. Not enough returns received from
the other districts to give majorities, but it is
all OF them.
BENEFITS MAJORITY.
CHICAGO, Nov. 8.-A dispatch from Yankton,
Dakota, says: Bennett, republican, for con-
gress, has 1869 majority in % counties, with S
more counties to hear from. These and cor
rected returns from the Black Hills will make
his majority 1.5C0. Returns from of the 10
legislative districts give the republicans q and
the democrats 4.
MORRISON ELECTED.
CHICAGO, Nov. S.-Tri6une's Springfield
special: Morrison, democrat, is undoubtedly
elected in the seventeenth district. The re-
publicans generally concede this.
swNDLING BALLoIs-A RECOUNT DEMANDED.
Boston, Nov. S.-Petitions for a recount oe
votes IN the Third Congressional district, in
which Field defeated Dean, were filed to-day
with the city clerk on the ground thai several
hundred ballots were counted for Field which
did not belong to him. The difficulty arose en-
tirely from the ballots baving the name of
Benjamin Dean for Congress duplicated there.
In one case the name was in large plain type.
and in another in small type, not easily read or
likely to be noticed. One ticket had the name
of Dean in small type at the bottom
of the slip, where the printer's
name is often placed. These ballots
were gotten up, it is said after legal consulta-
ton, it being we'll understood that if cast as
printed, each ballot would count but one for
Dean, but if Fields name was pasted over one
of Deans, the paster and the remaining printed
name Of Dean would neutralize each other, and
the citizen who intended to vote for Field in
place of Dean would lose his vote, Dean being
thereby the gamer.
