One AMENDMENT
HAS BEEN CARRIED
Vote as.to City Officers Is Close,
but Change Is Probably
Defeated.

With only the counties of Patrick
and Rappahannock to be heard from
1t is very evident that the amendment
TO the Constitution permitting county
treasurers and commissioners of the
revenue to succeed themselves indef-
nitely, has been carried. The majority
in favor of thisschange Is now 1891.
1t is barely possible that the re-
naming counties may affect the re-
turns received to the extent that the
amendments regarding city officers is
also successful. The very large ma
jority returned by Franklin county
and received yesterday for these
amendments. together with a sub
stantial gain from Rockbridge, has
reduced the majority against the
amendments as TO cities to SOC. An
other such vote as Franklin's, coming
from the adjoining county of Patrick,
would wipe this out. However, it is
probable that this amendment has
been defeated.
Two Were Against.
Amelia and King and Queen coun
ties, reporting yesterday, voted agains
the amendments, while Northampto,
was very close.
This most illogical result is e1
planned by the personal work of TIT
county tTedSuTerS ana commissioners
who, in seeking the votes of thei
friends for the amendment permitting
them to be re- elected, apparentlS di,
little for their city brethren. Had i
heen possible, the Legislature would
have put these two amendments int
enc, but could not do so. for the rea
son that city and county government!
are taken care of in separate sections
of the Constitution.
The vote as 1t stands now, with
only two counties missing, is as fol-
lows:
For amendments extending sessions
OF Legislature, 1896; against, 4o,51S.
For one reaaing q, bills, 2o,15s;
against, $780, ).
For succession of county treasurers
and commissioners 30,572; against,
2a1s1.
For succession of city treasurers
and commissioners, 27,125; against,
2T6s1.

accident. besides which his left leg

$500. which verdict now stands
