TIE recent election In this State has certified the
strength Of tho democratic party. Not only did the
national democracy, or hards. Of California have to

While sms Of every variety and hue sprnging up
dividing the democracywhile combinations have been
formed Of various dscorant elements designed form
proud and position taken by California the recent
election is a source of congratulation to every true
democrat The democracy here had, they have else
where every thing to contend against There were
raycd against them not only their old foe, the whig
party, made confident Of success by divisions in the
ranks Of their opponents but powerful Of
interruptions and skful political traders from their
own midst whose svowed and expressed object to
give the State into the hands Of the wings Rely
and integrity Of their cause.-The beauty Of their polit
cal system, and the intelligence and patriotism OF the
they into the fight determined to conquer.
And conquer they did. A most signal rebuke was ad-
mnistered both to whiggery and treachery, while
truly democratic President was most emphatcaily en-
dorscd.
Now, what the Times and zransc,ip kens in the
election to propitate smile from the administra'
tioA is beyond our comprehension. The ele,tion Of

Its observation-disclosures Denver and Herbert had
no sympathies with that administration that bonn
barded, Msrcycreed and Pierced the inhabitants
Of San Juan. None but the employees OF the ad-
mirsu alton show any reluctance IN saying that the
acts Of Pierce are iDimical to their feelings.

Union democrats, sesp the film of your eyes, and

California At present is dull. Groceries dry goods
and grain and ether kinds Of produce are selling ex
trenely low. Barley sells for 81 per cwt.; wheat
sells for 81 1876 potatoes, 81 25 Melons are given
away almost; likewise tomatoes.
Mining at present Is dull, which arises from
want Of wster to wash the dirt with.
When the rair season sets in there will be indu-
bitsbly rush for the mines, and an impetus will
be given to business by the approximating migra-
ton. "But now" as the negro said, business is
dull suueIlatively dull" This arises from the "a t
that responsible parties have been Sshuylerized
lately by
Comptroller Meiggs,
Who has took to legs
and carried off large amount Of bullion. The
odus 0perand of this swiDdle is the issue Of false
scrip Of the city, bearing forged signatures, which
we're imirably executed. Adams d Co. pronounced
them genuine, 90 adroitly were they executed.
