Gains in the South. ORE A T VICTORIES IN THE TWO CAROLINA. The smoke r not having yet sufficiently cleared from the battle field we make no general summing up - and indulge in no ex tended comments "on the elections of Tues day. If the Democrats have lost in some : of the Northern States they have gained in the South. South Carolina is most glorously redeemed. The whole State has been swept by the Democrats. They have elected every member of Congress, and all except members of the legislature. Lou isiana, Florida and Tennessee, have done nearly as well. . In North Carolina up to late last night tho hope was that the gallant Kitchen would come in over the immense black ma jority in the Second District, thus making a clean sweep of the Congressional delega tion eight out of eight. The latest reports indicate that he was beaten by only 500 ma jority. While some of our friends are uneasy about Col. WaddeU's fate The Sun feels quite sure of his election. It is mnch re gretted that he was ill in the midst of the canvass and that his friends generally were too confident. His opponent is not a pop ular man, while Col. Waddell is. The ' re i turns now in arc not sufficient to base on a calculation as to majority. But from what is learned and general knowl edge of the counties to be heard from, his election, by a considerably reduced major ity, may be regarded as certain. In the net result, North and South, we feel there is some encouragement for earn est Democrats. V'.'jr. By Telegraph-. ' -. ..: SECOND DISTRICT. WA'TNE. Sun Special Ditpatch. Goldsboro, Noy.

The ninth gives Hubbel, republican, 3,109; Powers, democrat, 1,242, and Farm lee, national, 5,153. It is conceded that the republicans have a part of their Wayne county ticket, but the vote was quiet and close; the returns at present are incomplete. The democrats have probably elected their city ticket in Detroit. The returns come in slowly, but from the present indications the republicans have undoubtedly elected the entire Congression al delegation from this State,4 which is a gain of one Congressman in the first dis trict, Newberry, republican, being elected from that district by a plurality of 1,028. Crosswell's plurality for Governor will probably be 30,000. His majority over Webber, democrat, in 1876. was 23,434. . The Legislature will be- strongly repub lican. In this city and county the republicans re-elected Coats sheriff by 1,038 plurality The democrats have a bare majority in the city council. Up to the presenf writing four hundred and fifty towns and precincts heard from give Crosswell a plurality of 24,004. At many interior towns the national vote 'exceeds the democratic one. ILLINOIS. Chicago, Nov. 6. The returns from three hundred and eighty-three town's and precincts in i Illinois give the following totals: For; State Treasurer, Smith, re publican, 54,498; Cronkerite, democrat, 32,502 ; Bates,. 14,737. Quincy, Nov. 6. Adams county elects the entire democratic ticket. Singleton's majority in this county is about 1,800. A majority omthe State ticket is estimated at 1,100. This Congressional district (sixteenth) will give Singleton abqut 6,000 majority. Chicago, Nov. 6. The returns from the city, nearly complete, show a total vote of 44,710, and the election of the republi can candidates in the county b majorities ranging from 3,000 to 10,000.. . A plurality for Smith, State Treasurer, in the county, is about 11,000. ' The Greenback vote in, the county is about 4,000. The socialist vote is about 7,000. The returns from the thirteenth district make it pretty certain tha't Tipton, repub lican, is defeated by Stephenson, green backer and pemocrat by over 500 majority. Nothing definite from the eighteenth district yet, but both parties claim it. The indications are that the republicans have a fair working majority in the State Legislature, though the democrats do not concede it. WISCONSIN. Milwaukee, Nov. 6. Full returns from .the fourth Congressional district give Denster, democrat, 157 majority. PENNSYLVANIA. ' Philadelphia, Nov. 6. In the second district O'Neill, republican, is re-elected over Gibson by a majority of 5,029. In the third district Randall, democrat, is re-elected over Shender, republican na tional, by 2,633. .

A special from Boston to the Everansj PuU says : 'Loring, republican, is undoubtedly re elected in the sixth district by a plurality of 130." NEW HAMPSHIRE. BosTo.vt Nov. 6 A New Hampshire special dispatch to the Journal, speaking of the cleetion, says : "The new legislature will be called upon to elect a United States Senator in place of Bainbridge Wadleigh, of Milford, whose term expires in March. The parties de siring the place are -understood to be Hon. Mr. Wadleigh, Gen. Stearns of Nashua Henry W. Blair of Plymouth, Gen. Mass ton of Dover, Austin ll. Pike of Franklin, and ex-Gov. Cheney of Manchester. The contest will be close. SOUTH CAROLINA. Charleston, S. C, Nov. 6, 1878. The returns coming in from , all parts of the State swell the Democratic majority. O'Connor, democrat, is certainly elected to congress from- the second district. Char-, leston city gives him over 6,000 majority. The election of Fillman, democrat, over Smalls in the fifth district is confirmed. The only doubtful districts is the first. from which the returns come in slowly; in dicating so far the election of Richardson, democrat, by a small majority. Incomplete returns Jrom t he counties of the first district, leave no doubt of the election of Richardson, making the con- gressionaldeleeration from this State solidy democratic. Every county has rone dem ocratic except one, and only three mem bers are known to be elected to the legis lature. MINNESOTA. "St. Paul, Nov. 6, 1878. The republi cans claim Washburns majority iu the third district by at least three thousand. The democrats early this morning conceded the election of Washburn, but now claim that Donnelly is elected by a small majority. bteait, republican, is elected in the sec ond district, and Dunnell in the first. The returns are too meagre for an esti mate of the legislature, or a majority in he State. ' The greenback vote cast was very small. , MISSOURI. 'St. Locis.'Noyv 6. Almost the com plete count of the vote or city ticket shows that the democrat elect eight nominees by a plurality of from 50 to "5,000. .The re publicans elect four by plurality of from 150 to 2,800. The democratic State ticket received an average plurality of 2,700. In the second congressional districts, Wells, democrat, has a plurality over Cole, repub lican, by about 1,500. ' ! The democrats elect two out ot three ot their State Senators iu this city, and 12 out of 15 of their representatives. Dis patches from Kansas City says the con gressional contest is very close in the eighth district. The democrats claim the election of Crisp bv 300 to 500 maioritv, while the friends of Sawyer, independent democrat, claims his election. TENNESSEE. . : Memphis, Nov. 6. The official vote of this city gives Casey Young, independent democrat for Congress 769 majority. His estimated majority in the county is 1,000, which will be increased by the returns from Fayette and Hardeman counties Nasiiville, - Nov. 6. The official vote in this city gives Marks 1,959 majority over Edward, greenbacker, and 450 ma jority over both republican and greenback candidate.- House, democrat, foT Congress 320 majority over the republican, green majority over the leading competition is 1,808. The democrats will have an in creased representation in the Legislature. No longer any doubt of the election of Whithome in the 7th and McMillon in the 4th congressional districts. This gives the democrats the entire congressional delegations with the exception of Hanck, republican from the first district. Marks, democrat, for governor, received more votes than both his opponents. FLORIDA. Pensacola, Nov.. 6. Escambia county, Florida, elects three democratic members 6f the Legislature and gives the democra tic candidate for Congress 50 or more ma jority, VIRGINIA. Norfolk, Nov.' 6.

Ketcham, re publican, has a majority or congress in the tnirteentn aistrict or- o.ozo, n is me largest ever given in that district. New York. Nov. 6. A slight fall of snow here this morniner. It was the first of the season. Three inches have fallen, and it is still snowing. At the afternoon session of the Methodist Episcopal Missionary Socity, Bishop Uains, Ames Wiley, Drs. Dashiel and Newman. Hon. Mr. Ferrv, and General Clinton B. Fiske, were appointed a com mittee' to wait on the Secretary of State, touching a treaty with China, and in the cause of freedom and humanity, have protective clause for missionaries insirted. LOUISIANA. New Orleans, Nov. 6.- Complete re tarns have been received from but few parishes and' do not change the result as indicated by last night's dispatches. The democrats will probably elect the entire city ticket, two-thirds of the Legis lature', all the Congressmen, with the pos sible exception of one from the third dis trict, and the btate treasurer by unprece dented majorities. As usual in this State it will probably be some time before the official count is known. - TEXAS. Galvestqx, Not. 6. Special dispatches to the News report that the returns are . coming in very slowly, but show almost universal majorities for t e democratic State ticket. The following named Congressmen are undoubtedly elected : First district Reagan, democrat; sec ond district Culberson, democrat ; third district Welborn, democrat ; fourth dis trict Mills, democrat.- Hancock, democrat, in the fifth, and Schleicher, democrat, in the sixth dis tricts, are in doubt. Greenbacker polling is an unexpectedly large vote. The fifth district may require an official count tb decide. NEBRASKA. Lincoln, Nov. 6 The entire republi can State and Congressional ticket is elect ed by over 10,000 majority. GEORGIA. Atlanta, Nov., 6. Nothing new this hour 12:30 P. M., to change the results sent last night in the 4th, 5th, 7th and 9th districts. Macon, Ga., Nov. 6. In the first con gressional district Nicholls, democrat, has Leen elected. Second district Smith, re-electeiL Third district Cook, re-elected. In the fourth district, Person, democrat, is probably elected over Hains, democrat. In the fifth district, Blount is unani mously re-elected Savannah, Nov. 6. Nichols' estimated majority in the first district, is 3,500. A special to the Morning News, from Jacksonville, Fla., says: Daval county gives Bisbee 900 majority. Democratic gains are reported for Alachua and Madi son counties which .were formerly republi can. Hull is certainly elected in this district, and Davidson in the first- The returns come in slowly, and are very partial. The Legislature is demo cratic in both branches- In the first district eleven counties give Nicholls, democrat, 5,671 ; Corker, inde pendent, 4,281. Eight more counties to hear from, all of which are claimed for Nicholls. In the sixth Congressional district, Per sons, democrat, has certainly defeated Harris, independent, by a considerable majority.- In the third Alabama district, wandtord, democrat, is elected to succeed Williams, almost unanimously. NEVADA. San Francisco, Nov. 6. Returns from lie Nevada elections are meagre. Tickets were much scratched, and it is difficult, to urni an opinion of the result, but it seems probable that the republicans have elected their State ticket, while the democrats, kely, have a majority in the Legislature. The Congressmen are in doubt. A statement telegraphed hence this morning that the democrats were likely to lavea majority in the Nevada Legislature was incorrect. WISCONSIN. Milwaukee, Nov: 6 In the fourth dis trict, Denisler, democrat, i3 elected by a small majority. In the third district, llasillton s, repub ican, chances are improving, and he is probably re-elected, which will leave the Congressional delegation in this State un- changed. NEW JERSEY. Trenton, Nov. 6. The Legislature stands : Senate, 11 republicans, and 10 democrants. One of the latter is indepen dent. House, 36 republicans and 24 dem ocrats. Smith, democrat-and greenbacker, is elected in the second district by 1,000 majority. Amos Clark, republican, is probably elected in the third district by 250 majority. These two districts hereto fore ha vei been doubtful. SUN TELEGRAMS. EARLY AND MIDNIGHT REPORTS? BAPTIST Sl'ATE CONVENTION. eventy Delegates, in Attendance. MaJ. Graham, President. Sermon by Rev.

Black Men against the White Serious imiuroance at rrineess Anne Courthouse-Tivo men Wound, ed and one Probably Rilled No Arrests. Norfolk, Ya., Noy. 6. Yesterday evening at about 8:30 o'clock a white man and a darkey became involved in a difficul ty at Princess Anne Courthouse, which resulted in a serious row between about twelve white men and fifty negroes, who were assembled at the Courthouse on ac count of the election. We learn that .the negro first brought a gun on the. ground for the purpose of shooting some one, and that a white Jftan took the weapon from him and broke it against a tree. A num ber of negroes came to the darkey's assist ance and a general row ensued. Aftersome fighting pistols were brought into play, and a sharp fire commenced, during which Colonel William T. Griggs received & flesh wound in the thigh. One negro was wounded and another probably killed- There was a short cessation of hos tilities, bat the negroes soon assailed the small body of white men and were repulsed. They then retired for reinforcements and, as they said, for the jmrpose of arming every man. Mr. G. T. Whitehurst and Captain John D. Nash were instrumental ia preventing any further disturbance.: The affair created a great excitement, and we learn that the white people of Princess Anne fear renewed riolenco from the negroes. Large numbers of the latter are in arms, and a good .many were seen, hiding along the road to tia cityv The NOVEMBER 7, negro who is supposed to have been killeu was seen to fall, and was reported dead by one of his companions after the' fight.

Should this talk take a practical turn and his Lordship be summoned back to Eng land, it is considered more than probable he will be succeeded by Karl Dufferin, whose name is freely mentioned in connec tion with viceroyship.

The difficul ty was settled by the intercession of the officer commanding the federal troons. Escabedo has been liberated on parole because of ill health. The sessions of congress afford no news of importance. A proposition is being advanced to ex tend the term of Diaz for two years, he having refused to serve a'second term. Zamacona, by his course in the Lnited States, has gained such popularity that he is prominently spoken of as the next president of Mexico.
