TUESDAY'S ELECTIONS.
The returns from Tuesday’* elec
tions are not yet as clear as could be
desired. We give below the sub*
stance.
Virginia,—The democrats concede
the election of Cameron, readjuster.
The readjosters claim the legislature
by 15 majority oibjoini baltot,fand the
claim is probably correct This Leg.
Mature is a yery important one as it
will elect a U. S. Senator, all the su
preme court judges, nearly all the cir
cuit judges, and many state officials.
The republicans, including negroes,
will come in for their share. The
negroes were almost solid with the re.
adjusters.
New York.—The Herald estimates
the democratic majority at 5,000; the
World at 80,000; tho Sun at 10,000 ;
while the Timos claims the state for
the republicans. Both sides claim the
Lgislature. It is evident that the re
sult is doso and doubtful.
. Mississippi.—The democrats have
won by 20,000 to 80,000. Three,
fourths of both branches of the legis
lature will be democratic.
Pensylvania.—Bailey, a Cameron
republican, has probably been elected
ever Wolie,'independent republican,
and Noble, democrat, by nearly 8,000
plurality
Minnesota.—Hubbard,republican,
Is eleoted governor, by 20,000 or 25\
000-
New Jersey.—The democrats
have gained 8 io the senate, and 4
in the house; but are still in the mi.
nority.
CoUNEnourr.—The republicans
have a minority iu the legislature, but
it is reduced.
Maryland.—The republicans have
gained in the legislature; but it is still
democratic.
Wisconsin.—The democrats have
made large gains, and probably elect
ed the state treasurer.
Nebraska.—The republicans have
won by the nsual majority—about
15,000.
Massachusetts.—'The senate will
(land 85 republicans, 4 democrats and
1 independent republican,
Colorado and Kansas are so cer
tainly republican that there is no in*
terest in the details.

OUR JACKSON LETTER.
Dear Banner:—Jhavo just re
turned from a flying visit to Madison
and Banks counties. Leaving the
Northeastern railroad at the thriving
village of Harmony Grove near Dr.
Hardman’s and going east six miles,
yon pass ont of Jackson into Banks,
and crossing Black’s creek, yon arc in
Madison county. Some of the hnest
bottomlands lie along this creek,
intrinsically worth from $50 to 5100
per acre. The finest corn I have seen
for years is now standing on these
fine creek bottoms and yet in the
midst of all this, com recently sold at
a sale at 51.15 and $1.25 per bushel
and wheat at $1.80; and why f Simply
because threeafourtha ot tbe land
planted in cotton.
On the Banks county side ot this
creek upon a farm that has only pro
duced about six baits of cotton per
year, for years, and which used to
produce thousands of bushels ot corn,
only enough land has been planted
in com to make 150 bushels, while 25
bales of cotton will be gathered this
year, and the producer of these 25
bales says he 'fwill fall a little behind
with his guano bjlts.”
Mr. Jesse White will soon start
steam saw mill about three miles east
of Harmony .Grove. In close prox
imity are five gins and two cam mills,
nlLthe gine-are . feyg-yt—Lower .down
in Madison county, tbe fields are
white with cotton, many ot them
looking as, though they had not been
picked over the first time.
Among bumness men the impression
prevails, that cotton would advance
at once, if.the money coffins; ot the
north waa unlocked—that it will ad
vance before spring scarcely any one
donbta.
THE CITY OT CANDLER.
At the lut term of our superior
court a Verdict was obtained to ssli
in ’lots,’ the 'Long lands,' about seven
miles above Jeffereon; but it waa not
then known that they would soon be
'town lots,* and yet it is true, and the
city of ‘Candler’ looms up la the near
future, as the first town on the
Gainesville and Jefferson narrow
guageroad. Before this railroad en\
terprise was talked up, these lands
would not have brought $8 pet tore,
and yet they add on last Tuesday for
three times the amount.
GOOD PRICES FOB LAND.
A large amount of land was sold
aggregating nearly $25,000,or nearly
$10 per Rore,mnoh of it unimproved
and it Is thought it would bring 20
per cent on tho Investment to«dar. - A
large tract of land waa recently
bought by a citisen of this county,
lying along the Athena road, A rail-
read' to 'Athens would pass thr ough
or near it, and we venture the predic
tion that it would, upon the comple
tion ot such a road, pay $00 per oent.
upon investment Old pins fields,
that a few years ago were supposed
to be worn out, are now producing
from one-half to one bale per tore.
