The election returns from the interior of this State
come in very slowly owing partly to the storm, but
more especially to the great variety Of tickets voted
md the general breaking up Of the old parties.
Enough however, is known TO render certain the
election OF the wing State ticket for the Canal
Board by large plurality over the hards and softs,

Judges for the Court of Appeals on whom the two
sections Of the party united, viz Ruggles and De-

favor Of the passage of some kind Of law to sup
press the sale of sprtuous liquors. and those ENGAGED
IN the TRAFFIC themselves accordingly.

has been procured by the influence of government
patronage and promises to Office seekers; also by the
represen tations made by the Van Buren, electoheer

national and State administrations. Deducting the
vote of this city we believe it will be found that the
relative positions of parties are much the same
they were In 1913.

By the arrival Of the steamship Star Of the West,
we to-day enabled to lay before our readers full
details of very important news from California the
Sandwich Islands, and Australia. The account of
the escape and arrival in San Francisco of John
Mitchell the exiled Irish patriot, will be read with
the liyeiest emotions not only by his own country
men, but by every lover Of freedom, without dstinc
ton of nationality. Equally interesting is the an
nouncement of another step taken by the Sandwich
