Democratic Defeat Confirmed
Jacobs Elected by over
5000 Majority.
A Democratic State Changed to Doubtful.

GREENBRIER, White Sulphur Springs, Aug.
A.-The Greenbriar county official vote for the
new Constitution gives y majority of 751 for
camden 451 majority, for Matthews, Attorney
General, 800 majority. New Richmond town
snip, Summers county, shows, by official re-
turns, majority of 66 for the Constitution and

Raleigh township, Raleigh county, gives 10Y
majority for the Constitution.
PARKERsBURG, w. ", Aug. PA special
dispatch says that at o'clock this afternoon
the indications were that Jacobs has carried
the state by small majority. Parkersburg
gives 1O7 majority for the Constitution.
WHEELING, Aug 24-Returns from TWENTY
one counties give Jacobs $500 majority and $500
majority against the new Constitution. 1t will
be several days before the official result can be
given.
WHEELING, Aug. 25.-Reports from thirty
three counties give Jacobs, Independent Demo-
crat for Cove, nor, within a few votes of 5000
majority. Thic is more likely to be increased
IMAM diminished by the twenty-on counties to
be heard from. The Democrats concede Jacobs
election by 5000 or 5000 majority. The Demo-
cratic majority for Governor in 1870 was 215O,
and in 1871, on call for convention, 1850, so
shat the change by comparison with 1871 when
the enfranchised Confederates voted for the
first time, will be found to be from 5000 to 5000
against the regular Democracy. The fate of
the Constitution is in doubt, the large majority
against it in this part of the State being neu-
traliIed by those east of the mountains, which
voted heavily for Jacobs and ratification. In
the thirty three counties heard from there is
majority against the Constitution of about
1000. This will more likely be redoeed than in
creased by the territory yet to be heard from.
of TAT from the vote for Governor two years
ago 1t gives $40 majority for ratification and
elects = Republican sheriff and Clerk of Circuit
Court. The regular Democrats will elect the
rest of the local ticket. Davis, Independent
Democrat, is ahead for Congress in this district
as far as reported and is elected by about 600
majority.
