AN IMMENSE VOTE.
NEW YORK. Nov. 3.-Midnight.-The
election in pis city to-day was conduct
ed quietly and earnestly. OF the 216,-
900 voters who registered, 100000 went
to the polls. The general feeling that
the contest on the gOvernOrshlp would
be close, caused the returns from this
city to be eagerly looked for. 1t was
generally admitted that il Hill could
leave this county with $4,000 majority
over Davenport, his election was assnr-
ed. He secured that majority and ad
del 900 from Kings. Carr ran few
hundred votes ahead of his ticket, and
not sufficient to Justify the hope that
while the republicans might not elect
their Governor they might elect their
Lieutenant Governor with the same can
ldate who had beenelected secretary OF
state when there was otherwise demo-
cratic state victory.

ALEXANDRER, Va, Nov. 3.-Tbree hun
dred and twenty-nine voting precincts
including Richmond, shows a net dem
ocratic gain of 1,6.2. Calculating the
remainder of the state Mt the same ratio,
Lees / aiority will Approximate $4,000.
The indications at O'Clock are that the
democrats will have two-thirds of the sen
ate and GO out of one hundred members
of the house of delegates. Wise con-
cedes the democrats victory.
THE GAzETTE's ESTIMATE.
The Gazette says; Returns from all
parts of the state show democratic game
and indicate that Lees ma iUrity will
reach 10000. Already five or six access
ions have been made to the democratic
side of the house Of delegates. Chair
man Barbour, from the dispatches, is
confident of a democratic majority of
10000 and in this view General Lee. who
is here, concurs. Barbour thinks the
majority in the Legislature will be Two
thirds when Southampton, Mahone's
own county, gives the democrat ma
jority of 600: and SO it is all over the
state, unexpected gains.
MAHONE GIVES UP.
The following has been received by
General Malone from Portsmouth: This
city has gone democratic by 600 majority
and Norfalk 300 democratic. Big chances
for contest At this hour. II =. M,
General Mohone sums up the situation
as follows: THE democrats have carried
the state and legislative ticket by the
unscrupulous use of the election machin-
cry over which they have absolute con-
troll and which was provided by Their
last unsurping legislature expressly with
this end in view" Henricocounty gives
$50 majority for Wise.
