The counties to be h ard from are Butler,
Carol, Montgomery and Wright The re-
ported majorities for the Constitution fail of
considerably as the official votes are re.
turned.
These returns indicate pretty clearly that
the Constitution has been rejected by the
popular vote. Should the result be as
stated, then the elections will not take place
in October as provided by the new Consti-
tuition, and which seems to have been fea-
ture strongly recommending the instrument
to the Republican party. We will publish
a table tomorrow, showing the vote of the
several counties.

Terrific Hnrrtcane- IN Wisconsin.

The Wisconsin papers for the last few
days have come to US laden with accounts
of terrific.hurricane which swept over
Fportion of that state last Sunday. We copy
a few paragraphs from the lengthy accounts
in the Milwaukee papers:
TUE STORM AT WOODLAND.
| AT Woodland, on the La Crosse Railroad,
| the station house was blown down, cars
blown from the track, and others set in mo-
ton. The station master, Mr.. Fox, while
endeavoring to stop one train efsfreigAt cars
set in motion by the wind, was run over
and killed At the time the building was
blown down there were some ten perso ms
within, seven Of whom were. mora less
injured, and two or three, our informant
states, so severely that fears are entertained
they will not recover. A store near the de-
pot was blown down and man severely in
iured. .:''-' 20 90
The telegraph office was in the freight de-
pot which was all blown down leaving moth
ing but the platform. T., The instruments
were taken off, severed from the wires, and
carried distance of forty feet. The opera
tor, whose name our informant did not know,
was severely injured. a Erenchman was
taken up by the whirlwind and carried a
distance OF one hundred feet, and only saved
from destruction by being cast against the
stump of tree. When the eating house
was taken up three women were inside
washing dishes. The house was lifted over
their heads, and strange to say they were
not injured in the least. The Post Office
was in the south side Of the depot, and the
following morning letters and papers were
found distance Of two miles oil. The tay-
ern was nearly demolished. 1t was large
sized building, and when the wind struck,
the upper story was taken off, and the
brick Of the chimneys came tumbling down.
1t was in this building that most of the in
jured ones received their wounds.
Woodland is laid level with the dust, the
only things standing being the railroad wa
ter tank and one log hut.
At Columbus, on the Watertown road,
the hurricane was scarcely less fearful
was Frustrated. One man was
killed--a Mr.. Ciark-his house being demOl-
!shed over his head. Fearful that a more
ordinary storm was coming, he sent his fam
ly into the cellar, and winnie attempting to
secure the doors and windows, the storm
struck, and in an instant the house fell up
1n them. Mr.. Clark was killed almost in
SANITY, and his wife injured SO severely
hat no hopes are entertained of her recov-
.ry. Several others in the town were more
,r less injured.

ABOLITION CoNsIsTENcY-A beautiful spe-
cimen of abolition consistency is afforded by
the proceedings of the republican branch of
the constitutional convention in Minnesota.
The members of this branch opened their
session by passing resolves that all men, in
Guiding negroes, are born free and equal,
and by denouncing that part of the bred
Scott decision which declares that negroes
are not citizens of the l. S. as an outrage.
When, however, the convention, in settling
the question Of suffrage, came to vote on
combining the right to vote to white"
males, this republican, freedom shrieking
body, by a vote Of "a against IL, refused to
strike out the word "white." So that
while they denouhce the decision of the Su-
prone Court, which denies to negroes citi-
zenship of the L. S. as unjust and outrage
Gus, they refuse themselves to confer citizen
ship on negroes in Minnesota. Beautiful
consistency. .-...
