kept the pledge he made at the Cincin.
natl convention that South Csrolns
should give Hancock an overwhelming
majority. In ce Of the undoubted
majority OF over 1000 colored voter; in
the face OF tho fact that the republicans
were 80 well organized that the leading
democratic organ had repeatedly ad-
mitted that there was grave danger OF
evidence furnished by local reports in
democratic papers, that the negroes very
generally turned out TO the pOlll, demo-
cratic managers have returned a majority
for Hancock in every county in the state,
With the single exception of Beaufort,
where the blacks outnum Der the whites
about twelve 10 one, and the Official
count promises to give the dino
cratic electors over 10000 majority. 1t
was intended TO return all five demo-
cratic candidates for congress as
elected ssd the probability is that ali
of them will get their ce tifcates sooner
or later, though even after all the frauds
at the various polling places in Charles
ton District, there seems no doubt that
Msckey, republican candidate, had 8
msjority, according to the first count.
Later return from Virginia show that
the cnnteSt between the republican aid
regular democratic electoral ticket was
very close, and some hope was enter
tanned that Garfield might come in ahead
when the whole state had been heard
from. A gentleman here received the foI-
lowing dispatch this afternoon from Ed
mund Burke, United States district at
torney for Virginia: "Virginis is in
doubt. Half the state gives the demo-
Gratis only 1000 msjority, with strong
republican counties TO hear from. Dem
ocrsts are inclined to concede the state. ("
Washington, 5.-Secrelary McPher-
son, OF the republican congressional COM
mittee, to-day, claims that the next
House will have $50 republican mem
bers, against total opposition of 40.
There seems to be only three districts at
all doubtful IN this calculation, and con-
ceding them to tie democrats, the repub-
licaus would have exactly the constitu-
tional quorum and bare majority of one.
The belief among republicans is that
President Elect Garfield will call the
House In extra session on the 9th of
Msrch next for reorganization, and the
Senate. as is always the custom, to con-
6rm his cabinet and such other nomina-
tons as he may have 10 make
If Congressman Frye, of Maine, is
not elected to succeed Senator Hamlin,
his chances for the speskership of the
House will be excellent. He is a warm
personal friend OF the president-elect and
has a goodly following in the House 1t
Is urged in Frye's favor, as against Kas-
son, of Iowa, that the long and contin-
uous experience Of Frye IN Congress,
and his eminent public service,
entities him to preside over q
republican house. Edward McPhe--
SOD, late clerk of the House, it is
said, would be again willing to accept
that trust. He would probably meet with
little or no opposition. The veteran par
Humanitarian John NJ. Barclay will, in
all proba bilities, resume his old position
Of journal clerk of the House. Ex-Sena-
tor Dorsey, it is said, would like to sue
coed Colonel Burch As secretary Of the
Senate.
There are many rumors that Malone,
of Virginia, will act with the republicans
and thus tie the Senate, in case California
returns another republican, in considers
ton Of having at bis disposal the federal
patronage of Virginia.
