ST. LOUIS, June 10, 1865
The new Constitution will probably have
escape but the best informed opinions and the
most Trustworthy returns indicate that 1t has been
adopted. The figures Of the Conservative organs are
vide of the truth They will not stand minutes an
aysis They repeat maorities proved to exist only in
magiuation. They reject official and accept vaguely
reported returns order TO make out case of defeat
Thus they put down Ray County at 40 majority against
the Constitution when the official vote. transmitted
over the signature OF the County Clerk. Is only %
,inst It, Other cases equally incorrect. Trust
worthy returns are in from ~ counties and two full
regiments, which foot up majority against the Con-
sttution OF about 800 leaving SO counties which gave
Lincoln about 5000 majority, and 5000 troops who gave
all their votes but score two to Lincoln, still to be
heard from. The soldiers vote Is considered more
Trustworthy than the home vote. aud the chances IN
favor Of the adoption increase each day The ConserVa

10 coo majority, and by Justification they claim this
evening still to have 10000 against III but few days

vote against the Constitution expresses his belief that
it is adopted
The result IL not the fault Of the Rebels and their
friends Here in st. Louis they up to the scratch
and committed perjury with zeal worthy better

blushing, open manner. Some Of them stand on the
record as Rebels assessed for disoyay Some Of them
were known in ls6l as among the very worst Secs

sympathy with the Rebels One in point was that

Yet this traitor offered his vote and took an oath that

Attorney G eneral Bates claimed that this oath was
compulsory and could not bind any mans conscience

they were powerful opponents. The leading Germans
have already repented OF their opposition. and If the
fight were to take place again tomorrow the result
would be very different. The Germans do not like the

Apart from this election there are some interesting
bits Of news from the interior Several additions have

There is no reason to donbt that great many good
Union men have lately been killed in various parts of
the interior by Rebels returned from Prices army
1t has been q game OF retaliation. As soon as
an authenticated case Of killing by Rebel is made
known To a neighborhood Of Union men, they turn out
on Rebel hunt and kill about ten Rebels for every
Union man hurt. Then after while another batch Of
Rebels will pass through and kill another Union man.
