Young ladies talk of their disinter-

their utter disregard of anything but

a majority for Convention. Cobb's
majority for Convention is 256
Clayton's majority against a Com
vention is 206, ond Fulton's majori-
ty against Convention is 253.-
Atlanta gave IL majority against
convention, and considering her
large negro vote, she had to over.
como, she done remarkably we'll.
At the time we go to press, it ia
impossible to determine accurately
whether the State has gone for OF
against q convention. The white
vote is light and the colored vote
large, which MAKES the result close,
and Of course leaves us in doubt
Up TO going to press, the Atlanta
Constitution furnishes us the infor-
nation that sixty-three counties

thousand three hundred and eleven
majority. We hope by our next is
sue to give the definite result.
