EDITOR OF THE TIMEs:-The shortest
voyage yet effected between the Pacific
State and this port has been performed by
the Steamship, Promdheus, which arrived
here on Saturday, with news from California
to Sept. 6. This news has been only %
days in coming from San Francisco, ria
the new Nicaragua route. This speed
will at this rate, in all probability, soon Sc
cure to this route, the greater portion of the
passenger trade between the two oceans.
The Wings of California have elected
their candidate for Governor; and the Demo-
Gratis have secured majority of the Legsa-
ture. The returns were not complete, when
the PromelheuS sailed; but there is no doubt
of this being the general result.
The newspaper press of California is dis
cussing project for dividing the State, and
making that part oft lying South of the 57th.
degree of N. Latitude, separate sovereign

There is nothing new or important from
the mining regions. Digging is being pur-
sued as usual; and fair return meets the
labor of the miners. Society appears TO be
settling down; and order prevails through
out the whole State.
The Democratic Judiciary Convention
met last night; but it seemed to be regarded
by the politicians as small-potato affair,
and consequently not worth troubling them
selves about. As was expected, the confess
ted seats were decided as the ones of the
previous had been, and the Reformers were
again kicked from TauImany Hall, by de-
cisivc vote. l hope that they now know
what they have 10 expect from a place
| SO rampant with gin, brandy, and moral and
physical corruption of all kinds. The City
Convention meets again, tonight, and the
excitement will be redoubled fully ex-
pect to see grand kick-up in the Conven-
ton, before it adjourns. The nominations
cannot be satisfactory to all parties.
In the 9th. Senate district Dan. Sicliles
received the nomination for the office of Sen
ator, last night. The district is composed Of
the 8h, 9th, and 18th, Wards, the latter
strongly Democratic, and the two first
doubtful. If a good wing is put up, he will
beat him by thousand majority, if things
are managed right.
In the county of WeStchester, Abraham
Hatfield, an old broke down city politician,
who moved up there about eight months ago,
has received the Democratic nomination for
Assembly. He is ''gwine TO be beat" Just
as sure as lection mornin' comes. Crandell
Rich, another brokcn-windcd old hack. is
also "puttin in his oar" up around that dis
trict. This is quite new plan. Instead
Of staying used-up, they move somewhere
within 80 miles from the city, and COM
mence anew the exciting game of politics.
Henry NJ. Western, Chairman of the
bunker General Committee, is at present
putting on an air ofextreme virtue, in order
to get a nomination from the Temperance
people. lie now wants 10 prevent other
candidates from spending money al elections,
for rum, because he has been kicked out of
the party, and not allowed to spend any
himself. He said, the other evening, at
temperance convention, that he did not
know hardly person in the room; | knew
he spoke the truth, when heard it; but had
he went into any rum-mill in thr 9Th Ward,
he would have known every person there.
Thus it is ever with Tammany politicians.
Mr.. Richard O'Gorman, one of the oldest
and most respectable merchsnts in Dublin,
has recently arrived here, and taken up his
residence in Brooklyn. Mr.. O'Gormon's
sons connection with the attempted rcvolu-
ton in Ireland, in lS4S, and his subsequent
escape TO New York, have conduced to
cause Mr.. O'Gorman, Sen, to expatriate
himself in his old age. The old gentleman
has brought a capital of 100000 to this
country. He has purchased residence in
Brooklyn, and his son is practising law in
New York.
Eighty-onc Hungarian exiles, recently
