Oar tickets were printed somo for and agaimt the Constitution and blank upon that question, and 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*' obliterated, and the blank thus obliterated not. filled. This accounts for our majority against the Constitution being reduced below that of Gordon’s majority. We are, (that is, the whites,) almost a unit in this connty against the Constitution.

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.
