AUGUSTA, Sept. 9.-The following dis
patch was sent to Gen. Logan to-day: The
result Of the election may thus be sum-

every county in the State, with the posi-

They have elected 20 Senators and the

of the representatives of the Legislature;
they have elected A representatives in Con-
gress by a large majority, and have given
Gov. Robbie a popular majority of $1,000.
The Republican vote will reach very near
so, 100000 to 5000 larger than ever
cast before. Our majority is the largest
we have had since the Presidential election
of 1868, and far exceeds our most san
guine hopes. WALKER BLAINE.
