The Commissioners threw out, on account
ofinformality, 422 votes that were cast in
favor of the amendment, but rejected none
that were against it. Ten counties it
seems were not heard from. Either no
elections were held in them, or the vote has

gree gratifying to the loyal people of West
Virginia aud the whole country.
The last step now, so far as the people
