1t will thus be seen that the constitution has
boen ratified by q vote of two to one. When
she returns are all in it is probable that the
total vote will reach 10000, and that the ma

1t will be seen from the table that the total
vote for delegate last year was about %. 500.
1t is quite safe to say that our population has
would give about $4,000 voters at this
time, and it will therefore be eeen
that just about one.half of the voters
went to the polls on election day.
Some of our papers are discussing how the
rest of the voters would have voted il they had
that the absentees favored the constitution,
but thought it would be ratified anyway, and
that their assistance would not be needed.
The other side are equally certain that the alb
sentees opposed the constitution, for, had they
favored it, they would have been on hand to
and it is apparent that the constitution has not
only not received the support that was to be ex-
pected, but it encountered au opposition that
was not dreamed of.
A glance at the map will show for the most
part the opposition to the constitution came
and Turner counties were the only ones to
break the almost solid phalanx in this corner.
1t was in these counties only that the opposi-
sition assumed 8 belligerent attitude, if We OK
cept Clark and Brookinge, where meetings were
also held. 1t has been charged by the sup
porters of the movement that the opposition
came only from the most ignorant, upon
whom ex-Chief Justice Shannon and that old
%war-horse, DIR. Burleigh, were able to impose
in their speeches against the constitution. But
their charge was certainly ill-advised, for it
does not appear justified when Union county
cast 1000 votes, and thirty-one only for the
constitution, and when that document received
such small support in Lincoln. Minnehaha and
other counties. The opposers say that had they
begun their canvass two weeks earlier they
would have completely buried the document
On the other hand, the supporters say that il

From the report of Gen. Merritt SUI
perintendent of the West Point military
academy. it appears that on the LIST of
September. 1883, there were at the &C.
ademy So professors and commissioned
officers, and 81 cadets. There were 27l
cadets at the same date of the previous
year. There were no deaths during the
year among the cadets, officers or SOL
diers. The percentage of sick to the COM
mand is one-ffth Of one per cent. Dur
ing the year the usual practical instruc-
ton i'll the three arms of the service has
been given, with as good results as ever
obtained before. The discipline has
been good, and with the exception of a
very few cadets in each class, the mem
bers of the corps are very attentive to
regulations. For the half year ending
MAY 3lst, 1888, nearly one-half of the ca
diets had no dement's recorded agains.
them. Cadets have been held to a strict
account ability for all violations of the
regulations, and uniform punishments
have been fixed for the more serious
neglects and unmilitary conduct.

REGISTRAR FKAzBR's weekly report
of births, deaths aud marriages indi-
Gates that Wilmington is enjoying III
M usual degree Of good health and an
unexcelled degree of prosperity in the
way Of increasing the population. There
were only eleven deaths compared to
sixteen for the corresponding week in
December last year. Notwithstanding
the unhealthy condition of the weather
last week, there were twenty five
more births than deaths, which shows
a healthy natural increase of population
without depending upon an increase by
immigration. The present week com.
mepced with a still more favorable
showing and there have been seven
births and but one death. We doubt
whether city Of the same size in the
Union, with sewers in every street, can
present more favorable mortuary re-

holiday of the year observed by all
classes in Memphis. Every grade Of so
ciety, from the highest to tho lowest,
makes an effort to have a good dinner on
Christmas. Housekeepers in making their
calculations for such an occasion should
bear in mind that Seessers market, 3Sl
Main, is making unusual preparations
for supplies Of choice eatables for the
holidays that will far surpass their former
efforts A partial list only Of the antici-
pated supplies embraces fresh game Of all
kinds, fish from the lakes and gulf, oys'
ters, celery, dressed poultry, the choicest
fresh meats obtainable anywhere, all
vegetables in season, etc, etc. SeesseP'
market is only three doors from Union
on the line OF all the street cars, and i.
therefore convenient to all hOusekeepers.
They deliver all goods purchased of them
free of charge and attend promptly TO all
orders, whether given in person or by
