THE ELECTION.

The election in this county passed off
without disturbance anywhere, so far as
we have heard. The day was cold and
chilly, and the sky low, black and threat
enine, with occasional showers aud driz>
cling, disagreeable rain. The weather,
indifference, or some other cause, kept a
good many people at home, and the vote
polled was comparatively light. The re-
suit was anything but satisfactory to our
Radical friends, who, in the canvass OF
the county, had clear and uncontested
field of it. As the poll-books will not be
compared until tomorrow, and our
friends at the various voting places are
tardy in sending us returns. we can only
give the general result as we gathered
them from the messengers who brought
in the poll-books yesterday.

96. Leslie's majority in 1871 was lS5.
The incIease in the mining population,
which voted largely Radical Monday, and
turned out almost to a man, explains, par
tally, the fall off in our majority, while
the apathy iu the Democrats in the Cen
tertown precinct, where our majority
ought to have been at least 80; and al
Fordsville, where we should have OBJ
tanned 60 majority; and at Ellis, where
our majority ought to have been 100
will furnish the remainder Of the expla,
nation. But then the Radicals lost large
ly in their precincts, also, ahich is som,
consolation, little drop though it be.
From indications, we may venture t.
assert that a majority of the voters OF tn,
county decided in favor of the calling o
a constitutional convention.
Hooker, for the Legislature, had oppo,
sition at the Sulphur Springs, (Wedding)
and at Hartford, (Rock), but the vote
thrown away on them did not amount t.
much. lie polled vote somewhere be,
tween 800 and 1000, as far as we ar,
at present enabled to judge.
