Here then. are so votes In less than one
dozen counties that could not have been
counted for Jarvis but would have gone TO
swell the Fowlc list had Judge Fowles
friends in those counties insisted that the
''majoritv must rule 1T true that in
the D counties 'instructed' for Towle, a
JARVIS minority were sllenccd but as Jarvis
had ten times as many counties to cast their
vote solidly for him. the fact that he gain
ed, and Judge Fowle lost. very largely by
the instruction scheme must be apparent.
We have never talked with Judge Fowle on
the subject. and do not know what be
thinks, but facts are facts.
The announcement of the ballot was re-
celved with great applause by the Jarvis
men, and much detection on the part Of the
Fowle men; hundreds of the latter returned
home on the 4 O'Clock train, leaving the
Jarvis element To take full control of the
convention. This circumstance will &C
count for a portion Of the subsequent
proceedings
Gov. Jarvis having been called for, ap-
peared on the platform and made a orief
address, expressing his gratiiation, and de-
claring his determination to hold the office
for four years longer. His remarks were
wildly applauded.
A committee consisting of H. C. Jones,
Montford McGehee, and Col. Fuller was then
the convention in the evening. The Judge
declined to comply. but went at once to the
capitol square with Col. Fuller, and amid
tumultuous applause MADE an imprOmptu
address which stirred the hearts of even
his enemies,
LIEUT. GOVERNOR.
For Lieut-Governor, Mai. McRae Of
Cumberland presented the name Of James
/. Robinson seconded by j. Nj. Whedbee,
and Geo. II. Brown, Of Beaufort. Capt.
Day, of Weldon nominated Julian S. Carr,
Esq, and Geo. II. Snow, of Wake, and

seconded. VIM. G.. Etheridge, of Berthe,
nominated Col. Thos. NJ. Holt, and Mr..
Dortch seconded. Chas. Price presented
the name Of Kerr Craige, of Rowan. and
Col. Cowles, of Wilkes, seconded.
The balloting began with Carr in the
lead. Changes at once ensued which by
the concurrent testimony of hundreds
placed the young son Of Orange largely in
the majority. A perfect storm of applause
broke out and confusion reigned supreme.
Instantly report spread through town and
congratulations could be heard on all sides.
kilograms were hastely despatched ali over
the State; evening papers were printed with
MIR. Cars name at their masthead. and the
people Of Durham began to prepare for a
ratification Jubilee. Possibly the rejoic-
iugs of MIR. Carr's friends served to antag.
onize the supporters of other asplrants. At
all events when the Secretaries said they
ouldn make a correct count, Maj. Ora
ham the chairman ordered another ballot.
when the contest naturally narrowed to
Carr and Robinson and the latter received
