Clark, J4 Clerk of the House, believes 160 democratic representa tives have been felecied and that six districts are in doubt. This calcula tion' is based on f the assumption that Wilson is elected in West Virginia. Doubtful. GerJ.t Clark's estimates include the firsiCalif ornia, one Ten nessee, second porta Carolina and first third and ifburth of West Vir ginia. These districts he sets down ai doubtful because they are claimed I by both parties in'smalf majorities Bf small buai KB uuicia uuuui uiuoh be awaited to determine toe result. Id the case of Bason, democrat ef New York, who s reported defeated by 80 majority 4 Gen. Clark expects thati a contest -will ensue. Of one thing he is confident, and that is that the majority in he next House will not be oyer fire either way. -Relative to the functions of the clerk in the organization of a new House and the pwer tie is supposed tof be able to exercise in seating or unseating members for Gen. Clark says that his datl are fixed by stat ute and are purelp ministerial. If a member elect psents the proper certificate of election his name will bo placed on the foil and not other wisei . There eanilot be duplicate cer tificates because there are at present no! dual State governments as there haVeJeen in mf in South.

The redac tion Of the claims of both parties to the; yery narrow majority of from 3 to 5 ox 6 suggests interesting possi bilities, when it i-remembered that no less than six persons who were elected to the 49h Congress died either, before they had been sworn in or alter they had taken their seats, and that there is a Strong probability there fwiU be some fieatlis among 325 men Of mature yeals daring the long period thirteen aontha interven ing between elec'iop day and the as semblage of the ne4 Congress.

All Durham was taken back this morning upon reading a notice posted upon the doors of the lians of uar ham stating tnat Mr w x uiaotwei the proprietor, had made an assign ment. i Soon it was ascertained that Capt E J Parrish, Mr J W Blackwell, Messrs Muse & Shaw, Mr W F Ellis, and Messrs Robbins , & Stone had also made assignments Such a shock the community bad never receivea. . uut you wouia m w-t i 1 scarcely believe how little oommotion the disaster occasioned. Men gath ered on the street corners, expressed surprise and regret, and passed on with the determination stamped on their countenance of the "make a spoon or spoil a horn" kind, and went about their work. Sales occurred at the warehouses, the farmers were paid their money in fresh, clean, crisp bonk notes and went horn pleased. The Fidelity, Moreheid's and the First National banks stood with wide open doors and eerved the pub lic with promptness. The Plant must congratulate the good people of tbo town upon the ex cellent behavior under such trying circumstances Fellow-citizens, you acted robly. Half or more of the trouble i such times comes of fright. Be quiet; be patient and everything will covne out all right. You know Colonel Blackwell, you know Capt. Ed. Parrish, and what manner of men they are. Why, they pinned the swaddling clothes on Dur ham in her babyhood, and you are witnesses of bow tenderly they have nourished and nursed. Days of ad versity are likely to overtake good men. The present is an instance. But such men as ParriBh and Black well you can never down. They be gan poor, both of them, today they had accumulated more than one half million dollars of good property. Ihis embarrassment, the riant pre dicts, id only temporary. They are honest, true men, tne business world recognizes that. They have 'made a ull, complete and honest surrender of everything, Capt- Parrish even sur rendering his beautiful home, which, in years agone, he had settled upon his wife. Such men fail! There is no such word. They are needed too badly in this rushing business world. Here and there many kind friends will throw out their cable tow to re- ieve them, and, mark our prediction, soon both will sgain be permanently upon their feet- God bless them for he good they have done. The Plant believes that both Messrs Blackwell and Parrish have two to three dollars in good assets for every dollar of their liabilities, and. times will right all this matter, anf every' creditor get one hundred cents in the dollar on all their claims. To Mr. W. F. Ellip, one of the cleverest of merchants, and to Messrs. Muse & Shaw, to Messrs. Robbins & Stone, and Mr. J. W. Blackwell, The lant extends its most sincere sym pathy. Ktectloa Return. THX BTATE8VIXLK SECTION. Ashe went republican throughout except as to sheriff. Sherift Miller is re-elected by 14 majority. Harrison has a majority of 102, Dockery 73, and Blevins beats Todd for the House by an even 100. Alleghany went demosratio by 250. Surry went democratic except as to register of deeds, to which office the republicans elected their candidate. The democratic majority was not sufficient, however, to save Phillips, democrat, who was defeated for the Senate by Hampton, republican. Randolph went Republican through- out. Majority for Harrison 189 : for Dockery 156; for Ellis 122. The prohibition vote was : 260 for Fisk, 306 for Walker and 309 for Frazier. Catawba gave a majority of 1584 or Cleveland, 1604 for Fowle and 635 for Henderson. She holds the banner, though Cleveland pushes her close, giving 1502 for Cleveland, 1505 Fowle, and 1653 for Cowle. Rutherford goes Democratic for he first time in a long while, giving Cleveland 9 majority and Fowle 27. .Lincoln gives Cleveland 287 ma ority, Fowle 308 and Oowles 308. Rowan's majority was exaggerated ast week. It gave 1458 for Cleve and, 1473 for Fowle and 1473 for Henderson. Wilkes gives Harrison 601 majori y, Dockery 546 and Ward 521. Our riends in that county must be demor alized, since they have sent us no re turns of the votes for candidates for the legislature and county offices. It is learned, however, that though they were snowed under they win the credit of having increased their vote from 1,301 for Scales to 1,706 for Fowle. Forsyth elected the whole republi can ticket. Mast, democrat, wno, through all the mutations of politics, has been register of deeds for many years, is defeated along with the re6t Davie gave Dockery a maiority of 196 and is republican throughout.
