PERSONAL PoPULAR;vY.-It is a fact well
known in this community that no one connect
ed with the C0urier establishment was up for
office at the recent election. Now we do not
pretend that our not being capdidates was the
consequence Of lack of confidence in our own
abilities, but rather, as we fondly Aatter oui-
selves, to q failure on The part OF the voters To
appreciate those abilities. AT all events we
Were not candidates. And yet, in the face f
this we'll known fact, we are positively assured
that several friends, il the ardor of that personal
admiration with which we had inspired them,
did not hesitate 10 bolt the regular tickets, and
cast their suffragcs for ourselves Senior and
Junior, respectively for the offices of Magistrate
and Constable. Yes, fellowcitizens, the vote
stands thus For Magistrate, Senior ? for
Constable Junior s. Such is the effect of per-
sonal popularity. We are gratifed to be able
10 add, that these votes were cast irrespective
of party associations. We do not hesitate to
say, in the language of San Francisco Snob,
when receiving cane at the hands of select
circle of Snobs, that this is 1.-The happest mo-
ment of our lives"

The Resnif Of the Election

The returns received from different portions
OF the State, up to the hour of going to press,
are perhaps too meagre to enable us to safely
predict the result as regards the Congressional
vote. We think, however that the >Yhig can
ddates, Bowie and Benham, are elected by Il
very handsome vote over the two Democratic
tickets.
The STATE Jcurnal thus announces the result,
in a tone, it seems 20 US, somewhat triumphant
"The agony is over. The battle has been
lost, and the victory won. The Wing Congress
sional ticket is elected. The votes are not
counted yet. nor are the estimated returns in.
but it is nevertheless certain that the Wings
have carried their State ticket and a sweeping
majority or joint ballot III the Legislature"
The Journal, however, claims that the Demo
Gratis will still have majority in the Senate
sufficiently large to secure the election Of a
Democrat to the L. S. Senate.
We give almost complete returns from this
county for which we are Indebted to the indus
try of Ned Tracy, of Adams & Co.'S Express.
1t will be seen that DR.. Henry Bates, Wing, is
elected 10 the Assembly by large majority !;
and that VIM. +. Dainger6eld, the Democratic
candidate for District Judge, carri ed the county
by still greater majority. From the returns
already received, it is safe to say that Mr. D.
will enter Butte with upwards of 700 majority
and is elected beyond all preadventure. Wm.
S. Hughes, Democratic candidate for Assessor,
and VIM McGee, for County Surveyor, have also
received handsome majorities over their con-
petitors.
In Trinity County the result is somewhat sim
gular-the' Congressional candidates and MIR.
Daingerfeld carrying the county by majority
of more than 800 votes; while the Whig can
didates for Assembly. County Judge, Sheriff.
and County Clerk, with the exception of the
last named, are all elected by large majorties.
