California Politics.


Tn ne Editor Of Tie Ne0 York Iyijare
Since the last steamer we have had an election
or County and State Officers, and although the
results are not fully known, enough has come to
hand to make it sure that the Wings have done
noby. In this County We elected four out Of the
five Assembymen, one Judge Of the Superior
Court, and our candidate for District Attorney,
giving US six Wings out OF eight County Officers.
When YOU take into consideration that a sort OF
uopgrel affair called the Independent Ticket, took
of many whom we had calculated upon as Wings,
YOU will admit that we have done something to
brag Of Our Senator was defeated by a combin-
alton of the Independents with the Locos-Brod-
erick running on both tickets. Professor Mooney,
from Ohio, twho was engaged IN the Boundary
Survey with Weller the Wing candidate for Su-
pcrintendent of Public instruction, and gentle
nan Of high character and superior talents, is
elected by a considerable majority. Dr.. Huddart
Of New York, was the candidate of the Indepen-
dents and was, perhaps, the best person for this
responsible situation, if | except Prof Mooney of
any gentleman in the State.
1t is impossible to tell, at this time, how the
Legislature will stand, as we have learned moth
Of Sacramento. 1t is certain, however, that we
have eight out of the sixteen Senator's aud there
/ is scarcely doubt that Capt. FAM, Of the San
1 Joaquin District, viii be declared elected as it
i can be proved that & precinct which was opened
/ without the knowledge OF the Wings, or any of
the Candidates save the successful one, and which
gave THOMAS VAN buren, over 100 votes, had not
over twenty votes in it, all told. The House con
/ ssts OF forty members. OF this number, SO far as
heard FROM the Wings have elected eleven, and
the Locos seven Wherever the Wings have or
| eanized, they have beaten their opponents out
and out; and | have no more d0ubtthat California
is Wing ifthe votes all be brought to the polls
! Than that Massachusetts is. Great apathy exists
| as to politics at present-and this results from the
| fact that there are many thousands III California
| who have no intention OF remaining with US more
| than yoar so, and consequently feel no inter
I est IN the welfare oil the State. There are many
local causes against the complete division into
4 parlies In Sacramento, for instance, the gquattcr
| excitement has superseded all thoughts OF poh-
| tics and one of the candidates OF the Squatters,
/ DR. RuUNSoN has been elected. DIR. ROBINSON
| is Mt present in prison, charged with MURDER in
! causing the death of Assessor Woodland, in
| the late riots The election went oft quietly, but
few comparatively OF the population voting as the
| law requires an actual residence OF SIX months,
and nearly one half of the population have come
| INTO the country within that time.
I Gold diggcrs are moderately prosperous-those
| who are willing to work gaining from eight dollars
| to an ounce per DAY and some lucky h0nl6reS get
| hold enthusiastically, of big Jumps, weighing all
the way from 500 to $4,000, But these latter are
| scarce--almost as as honest othceseekers.
Business has been rather brisk the past few
weeks and prices OF good goods higher. Groce-
mes in good order, are paying fair profit to the
! slippers Flour and Pork have been steadily
| creeping up, until both articles have got to about
S9s per barrel. The general impression is that
provisions OF all kinds will be high this Winter,
| Notwithstanding the large supply on hand The
isct is that as we raise nothing n few vege-
tables, shpload of goods hardly makes a mouth
| 1l for our large and increasing population. Build
D. material OF all kinds is exceedingly dull
ooards shingles and frame houses, hardly paying
hghterage and commissions TO say nothing OF first
cost and freight
The Bankers, after their late fright, have settled
down. and are gong on i'll the old way, apparently
Without suffering much from lack of confidence
Ii their former customers. Gold comes in penti
fully, and is purchased at from So IS TO $40 per
