CoRsIoANA. Aug. IA. = Especial. l-Th'
election to-day on the constitutional
amendments was a failure as far as getting
the expressions OF the people. Only one
poll was open in this city. at which forty

Written ballots we're Used, and as num-
| Der of voters applied at the different voting
places in their respective wards and found
these places closed, it is feared the election
will prove invalid.
