We have been at the pains to put together
our returns from $50 towns and plantations in
this State, leaving but few to be heard feom,
and compare their votes for Governor with the
votes of last year. In these towns there | a'
been an increase Of 1915 to the Wings, and OF
1923 to the Locofncos. The Free Soil vote has

FOURTEEN DAYS LITTER
The steamer Philadelphia at New York
brings fourteen days later news from California.
The steamers Columbus and Carolina at Pana-
ma brought California dates to August 18Th,
and the Philadelphia brings many ct their pas
pengers, and nearly $500 600 of gold on freight
The following despatch gives full abstract of
the news:
New YORK Friday evening, Sept 2o.-The
Steamer Philadelphia from Chagres, 9Th inst,
arrived this afternoon, with large number Of
passengers, and news from San Francisco to
August 18th.
A riot had occurred at Sacramento City. 1t
appears that n case had been decided in Court
against the S1uattcrs, which highly exaspera,cd
them. They armed themselves, and said they
would protect the lands they had seiz, d. Riot
ensued, and the Mayor and several others were
MORALLY wounded, ann there were nearly a
dozen reported killed.
Martial law had been proclaimed. A steam
er was despatched from Sacramento to Benicia,
to get the assistance Of the L. S. forces, as the
Sluattcrs threatened to burn the city. The
passengers by the Philadelphia report that they
| had done So
When the Philadelphia left Chagrcs there
was some few cases Of the prevailing disease,
which was confined almost entirely to the ma.
tive population.
The Carolina brings down the Oregon and
California mails, $77D,l2l in gold dust on
| freight, and Is passengers and the Columbus
Lrings 100000 in g I'D Dust, and 300 passcn-
g'rs.
The news from the mines is of the most
encoura 1ing nature. We notice that several
Jumps weighing from ten TO forty pounds had
been found and at some Of the newly discoy-
cred places the yield was from one to five dol
lars the painful.
We have convorsed with several Of tie pas
sengers Just from California, and they assure
us there is as much gold to be had by digging
as here ever was in California. We have no
space for particulars.
The stoppagc of Barton Lee for the heavy
sum Of @l,l00,000, in Sacramento City, hat
produced no little excitement, both in that cit!
and San Francisco.
We understand that there was considerable
run made upon the Sacramento Bankers gen
orally, on the 18Th, but thai they had promptly
met all demands.
