Returns Not All in Vet.

Seventeen counties have yet to re,
port official returns on the congress
ional election to the secretary OF
state, says the Little Rock Gazette.
The fifty-eight counties heard from
give total of $4,000 votes. 1t is un-
likely, owing to the unexpectedly small
vote in the remote counties, that the
aggregate will exceed 10000. 1t may
be even less than that. None of the
districts are complete yet in the re.
turns received in the secretary Of
states office.
