tickets were printed somo for and agaimt the

in tho hurry and excitement of a heated contest,
some of onr best men would occasionally forget
to write on their tickets against the Constitution.
There were some tickets voted with the “for*'

Constitution being reduced below that of Gordon’s
majority. We are, (that is, the whites,) almost

J. E. Sneed, Esq. :
Dear Sir : Tho managers of the election hero
are not counting tho tickets this morning. They
are debating whether they shaii throw out tho
votes which were cast by unregistered persons,
which are 373 in number. If thoy shall be
thrown out the Democratic ticket will bo elected
by near 200 majority. - If not thrown out the
Radical ticket will have a small majority—
though that is not certain.
It is supposed there arc about 300 tickets yet
uncounted, if not moro than that number.—
Gordon may have a small majority if all aro
counted, as ho is now 296 ahead, and vill get a
few more of the votes yet to bo counted. The
exact result cannot be known until the count is
