COUNTING THE VOTE.

Yesterday the. County Board Of 7Commis-
sIoners finished their task OF counting the votes
cast In. the recent; election, and commenced to
certain the total for each candidate. This work
was not finished when the sitting ended and the
canvassers decline to publish partial statement.
The nnal count will be finished to-day, and the
result Of the election can then be definitely
known. AS this Official declaration will SO soon
be made, we do not attempt to show the vote
cast for the different candidates. The impress
sion Is, however. that Scott has beaten Judge
Carpenter, in this county, BY majority OF over
$500 votes, and the Bowen Hurley ticket has been
elected to the General Assembly.
Mr. Bates. although behind Mshaw, is still s4oo
votes ahead Of Cain, and Is elected without doubt,
II the votes for the derunct MishaW are counted
out.
Mr.. Grimke Is the only Reform. candidate who
has run ahead Of his opponents by clear msjori-
jorlty. BIS election as school commissioner, by'a
majority Of 400 votes is conceded by the Radicals.
The conclusion Of the counting was very exclt-
ing, end became sequel for numerous pro!ests.
Among these, the voters from Black Oak and
Strawberry Ferry in St. Johns Berkeley, Wrlght's
Store on Edsto Island, and from the crossroads
on James Island, are the principal. They were all
counted separately and placed together until the
cases are heard and decided. From one OF the
managers OF Black Oak, We learn that another
manager, Nero Small by name, opened the polls
and carried on the voting for an hour by himself.
The voting went on through large window, and
Small, taking handful Of tickets at the window,
without any oath, and merely asking the names,
would go the box and deposit them himself. This
went on until the other managers arrived. 1t Is
hardly necessary 10 say that this Is one Of the
principal reasons for the protest Of the Black Oak
vote.
