ELECTION OF GOVERNOR OF MASSACHUSETTS
In the Legislature of Massachusetts, on Satur-
day, the Joint Committee to examine the votes cast
at the last election for Governor reported that the
people had failed to make choice. The whole
number of votes was l09,497 necessary to a
choice 54,759. GEORGE NJ BRIecs (Whig) had
$4,000; GEORGE S. boutwell, (Dem.) 3O,040 |;
STEPHEN C. PHILLIPS (Free-soiD 25,247. The
vote for Lieutenant Governor did not materially
differ from that for Governor, and Monday being
assigned for the election of both these officers, on
that day an election was had with the following
result:
In the Senate GEO n BRIGss received % votes and Gro.
s. boutwell, 10, (incudDg the Free Soil members For
Lieutenant Governor, JOHN REED received % votes and
HENRY w. CUsHMAS 49, In the House, for Governor,
George n Briggs received l57 Stephen C. Phillips SO
George s. Boutwell, 59-For Lieutenant Governor, John
Reed received 81 John Mills, Free-Soi 90 Henry w.
Cushman, DEM, Sc. So George N. BRIeGs and JoHN
duly declared elected Governor and Lieutenant
Governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
Although this result was to have been expected,
as matter of course after the successful candidates
had received SO large plurality Of the popular vote,
yet we have pleasure in announcing the fact of their
reelection, and in congratulatng the old Bay State
on her again having for her Chief Magistrates such
true representatives of her integrity, her principles,
and the character of her people.

LATE FROM CALIFORNIA.

News from San Francisco to the lst of Decem.
Der was yesterday received at New York, brought
to Panama by the steamer Unicorn.
PETER HI. BURNETT has been elected Governor
Of California JOHN McDoUGALL Lieutenant Gov
ernor and GEO. w. WRIGHT and EDWARD GIL-
BERT Representatives to Congress. The number
of votes poled was about $4,000. Nothing decisive
as regards the United States Senators.
The country was quiet, and the prices of labor
had become much reduced, in consequence of the
great number of persons returning from the mines
to spend the winter in the cities. San Francisco,
it is stated, now contains 10000 inhabitants. Bust
ness continued active, and the departures vessels,
we suppose) during the month of November are
stated to have equalled the arrivals.

A w ashington letter states that during the pre-
sent month the equestrian statue OF General JACK
SON, in bronze, will be completed and placed on a
granite pedestal in Lafayette Square, opposite the
Presidents house. The proportions of this statue
are represented as colossal, and the figure is said to
he thrown into very striking attitude. 1t differs
says the letter. from other equestrian statues in the
particular of the horse being selfpoised In that of
Peter the Great the horse is supported in his posi-
ton by fastening the tail to the pedestal This statue
is the first of bronze made in this country, and
is said will reflect great credit on the artist who
is young American of great genius, Mr.. CLARK
MILLS. The work was ordered by the Democratic
Association of Washington.-Bah. american.
