wagons, ~ per OOntraCt
The case Of sydney Smith, Of Dallas
Texas, against Joseph Murphy, wagon
nanufacturor, OF this city, was taken up In
Judge Adams court yesterday and the fury
sworn. The petition was then read to tho
Jury, setting out in substance that on the
1lth Of May, 1880, the parties entered into q
contract by which Smith was to sell 300 OF
Murphy's wagons for commission of So
each, and that Murphy had failed and re-
fused TO respond to Smiths order for the
wagons when the latter had effected sales.
Smith, therefore, prayed for a judgment for
$500 damages.
lThe court thought there ought to have
been specific statement of details in the
petition, involving different pleading in the
answer, The jury was tbreupon withdrawn
and both parties had leave to reform their
pleadings, the cause being continued for
that purpose.

Cameron 217, democratic gain of 1877. AT
$50 a. IN. voting precincts give Daniels 49,
33i. Cameron $3.50, Cameron's majority
655. The precincts show net democratic
gain of 2,5s2. One hundred and twenty
precincts only report majorities and give
aggregate majorities of 6,62S for Daniels,
and $50 for Cameron. Daniels net'major-
ity, 80 far as heard from, is 1868. The

three net gain. nine. The returns received,
including nearly one-third of the vote OF
the state, show that the total vote is about
the same as in the presidential election
RICHMOND, VA, November 9-The re-
ports this morning are Of the same general
tenor as those of last night, showing slight
additional gains of Daniels for governor, but
still leaving the result in doubt. The
democrats however, claim to have gained
five more members Of the legislature and
lost one, making a net gain to this hour,
1880 a. m, of thirteen, which gives them a
majority Of three on joint ballot. The
readiusters are confident that their state
ticket is elected, and they estimate Cam
eron's majority at 1900 TO 10000. As TO
the legislature they gain a good working
majority on joint ballot.
RIoHHoSD, VA, November 9.-Further
returns received at the Dispatch office to
y. m. reduce the democratic gains IN the
legislature TO eleven, which leaves the dem
ocrats four short of a majority on joint bal
lot. The gubernatorial vote is still too
meagre to justify positive statement. At the
Office Of the Wing, the readjuster organ,
the full and estimated vote from forty
counties and cities, which cover one-third
Of the state indicate only 80 loss to the re-
adiusters. based on the last presidential
vote. Ii is reported that gains for the read
justers in the southwest will overcome this
loss. The readiusters claim that these
figures insure the election Of Cameron by
10 to 800 majority.
