The election.
The official returns may change in some respects the Congressional delegation as published by us yesterday.
In some districts the vote is close, and so widely scattered that it will require the official vote to decide the result.
In the
Bedford district, where
Mr. Goode was supposed to be re-elected, it is now asserted that his defeat is by no means improbable.
His competitor,
Col. Martin, leads him 274 votes, with but one county to hear from.
The army vote will probably finally decide the issue.
In the
Little Tennessee district, where
McMullen was reported to have defeated
Preston, there is yet some doubt.--The
Norfolk and
Montgomery districts are also in doubt, but it is thought that
Whitfield is elected in the first and
Staples in the latter.
