Market Reports.

1HE election returns from the different
cities, townships and counties are so volum
inous that we are obliged to omit their pub-
licatlon, but shall give the result by counties
as soon as we receive the complete and official
returns. Sufficient has been received 10
warrant the assertion that the Constitution
anu all the sections submitted separately
have been carried, except, perhaps, if any,
the section requiring three titths vote TO
change the location of county seats. The
section relating to minority representation,
to which We have given some attention in
our editorial columns came very near being
defeated, and was reported from estimates
made ID Chicago on Sunday. Later footings
show different result. Returns from the
state al large, including over sixty of the
principal townships and cities show in
round numbers a ma joritY of about &c, 900
The other towns, not heard from, it is
thought, will not decrease the above major
ity TO any considerable extent and it's sue
cess may be considered certain. All of the
other clauses are carried by large m a critics
with perhaps q falling off on the section
relating to railroads

The Sioux in the vicinity of Fort Fetterman
