torship, and it is thought that Sherman
will be candidate therefor instead of
remaining as Secretary OF, the Treasury.
The official returns are not yet all in

ceived to determine that the Hancock
Electors, except Judge Terry, have car
ried the State by a majority of from
200 to 800, while the Republicans have
