From the Martinsburg Era we COPY the
following: .lcs'l ,.t~ i:s ~
We are of opinion that the Constitution
has been beaten by something near 100 ma
jority; it may reach $50. The vote between
Jacob and Camden will be close, probably not
25 either way. ~ "'f
Thomas is elected sheriff by 400 or 500 ma.
jorty. Troxell, Independently beats Naden>
bousch for Clerk of Circuit. Court by over
100; Price Independently is probably elected
over Luce by from so TO IS majority the
contest between the candidates for the Legis.
latnre is close, but the probabilities are that
Legg and Mong are elected NJ s. Grantham
is elected President. of the County Court.
The contest between b. Doll Independently
| and c. W. Doll, is close, with chances in
favor of the latter. We cannot form any,
thing like correct opinion in regard to the
result for Senators. j. w. Grantham Inde-
pendentl runs close on the heels of the nomi-
nees John P. Kearfott is probably elected
County Surveyor. - - ~ 80

Fleming Gnd J is elected to the Legislature.

over Grantham for President of the County

turns, still to come in. may change the result
on Laise, Thompson and Pultz w. RI.

News from Other Points. .e
GREENBRIER WnITE SULPHUR SPRINGS.
August 22.-The election in this section of
the State passed off quietly, as far as heard
from. A full vote was polled-the largest on
record. In this township the majority is
about 400 for Camden, regular democrat for
Governor, and the adoption of the constitution.
Greenbrier county has evidently gone largely
for Camden and the adoption of the constitu-
tion. Major Matthews, regular democratic
candidate for attorney general is largely ahead
of his ticket in the county. The official count
will not be had before tomorrow, The me-
groes, with few exceptions, voted solidly
against the adoption of the constitution, and
for Jacob. independent. The wires are down
between New Richmond and Charleston on
the line of the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad
WHEELING, August 22.--Owing to the
length of the ticket voted for to-day, the re-
suit in this city cannot be definitely known
until Tomorrow. On account of meagre ia
ciltles for receiving returns from the interior,
several days must elapse before the vote is
known.
In this county, as far as heard from, the
Independent ticket has majority. Returns
from portions of Preston and Hancock coun>
ties give majorities against the constitution
aud in favor of the independent cand idates for
Governor and Congressman.
WHEELING, August 22.--The vote in this
city is the largest ever cast. There will prob
ably be majority of 200 or 800 against the
