It ls barely possible thnt tho re

also successful. The very large ma?
jority returned by Franklin county
and received yesterday for these
i'.mendmentF. together wlth a sub
EtBJitlal galn from Rockbrklge, has
reduced the majority against thc
amendments as to cities to 506. An?
other such vote ns Franklln's, comlng
from the adjoinlns county of Patrlck,
would wlpe thls out. However, il i;
probable that this amendment ha;

Tno Were Ajralnst.
Amella and Klng and Queen coun
tie---. repnrtlng yesterday, voted agatns
the amendments, whlle Northamptoi

Thls most illopicsl result is ex
