The State of Virginia, according ta the latest returns, bas gone by nearly 40,000 for Walker, and there is a Walker majority of fifty on jomt ballot in the Legislature. The Walker people elect all the Congresamen except three, who are Platte, Porter and Norton, colored. T! disaster to the Wells ticket results from the un. reliability of the negro vote, which in the country districts has gone largely for Walker, and because of the failure oi their calculations in some of the counties bordering on Tennessee and North Carolina. where the white yotes for that ticket were chiefly expected. In that quar. ter counties that were expected to give him 500 Majority went against him by 1,000. Several Walker colored men bave been elected to the Leaisiature. ‘Walker's majority in forty-two counties is 27,000, All Wells’ strong counties are heard from. Those to hear from will nearly double Walker's majority.
