The Result The American State and
County Tickets Triumphant.

We have returus from every precinct ID
the county, and also from nearly every coun-
ty in the State. j. n. JOHNSON is ELECTED
Governor by over 5000 majority. Ma
ny counties have given large majorltles Tor
the American ticket, but Ell Dorado, as was
claimed, has fully proved her right to be
known hereafter as the Banner County of
the American Party in California.
We cannot tell with certainty what the
majority is for JOHNSON in this county, but
have sufficient proof to warrant US in say
ing it is over tlcelue hundred. So far as we
have returns, the Legislative and County
ticket has run considerably ahead and will
have a still greater majority in this county
This is glory enough for the American Par.
ty of the State and of the Empire County
All have done their duty and deserve cred
it, but we may be permitted to say that
Ell Dorado stands pre-eminent-Iast yeal
giving q majority of about 800 for the
Democratic candidates-this year giving
nearly as great a majority for the American
party. We would also do full justice to ev
cry precinct in the county; but our friend;
in other portions Of the county will excuse
US when we point proudly to the MAORI
ty given to the American ticket at this pre-
cinct; two hundred and twenty-seyen major
ity for JOHNSON at Georgetown, and the
Legislative and County ticket still greater
averaging about two hundred and thirty-si1
majority. The vote at this precinct was
about three toone in favor of the American
ticket. This is the largest majority by con
siderable, which has been given to the
American party by any precinct in the
county.
At present the returns indicate the cleo
ton of every candidate on the State ticket
and also Of every candidate on the Legisla.
tive and County ticket in this County,
The returns also show that there will be a
good majority on joint ballot in the next
Legislature, thereby securing the election
of U. S. Senator next winter of the Amer
lean Party. Its probable too, that in each
branch of the Legislature there will be a
fair working majority. The result is more
favorable than was expected by the most
sanguine, It was believed the State would
elect the American ticket--but not by such
majority as it appears has been given. 1t
was also expected that the county, would
elect the American candidates, but not by
over one-half the majority that has been
given.

Great Loss Of Property-Fyty Buildings
Burned Ent1relN to the Ground

Great Loss Of Property-FJfy Buildings
Burned Entirely to the Ground
The awful calamity-the devastating eff
fects of ire-has laid in ashes great por-
ton Of our town.
At the hour of II o'clock on Friday
night, the cry of fire was heard, and fell up
on the startled ear with the appalling ef-
tects of thunderbolt.
The combustible nature and structure OF
the buildings of which most of the town is
composed, rendered it, as matter of course,
physical impossibility to stay the progress
of such an all-deyouring element once com
menced, hence with the citizens of our town
the dread of fire has always been a promi-
nent subject in the thoughts of all
The fire originated in a building owned
by Mr.. Wood, carpenter, and used by the
Sons of Temperance for their meetings.
The fire commenced on the east side of
Court street, and spread with rapidity to
the adjoining buildings, consuming every
thing.
The fire extended on both sides, on the
east as far as the building owned and occu-
pied by Mr.. Mowry.
In most instances all the property, inclu-
ding goods, wares and merchandise, tools
and stock in trade, is a total loss, which we
have not estimated. The loss in buildings
exceeds 100000; the loss in property will
amount to 100000 and upward
The Trinity Times office was destroyed
by the flames, but owing to the exertions
OF cur friends we saved our press, slightly
damaged, together with the greater portion
OF our material. Our paper had not been
struck Oft, as we were waiting for election
returns. We issue our paper in the open
air, but trust in few days to have a roof
to cover our heads. Trinity Times.

THE ELECTION IN FL DORADO County
The following are the majorities for JOHN
SON and B1GLER in the Precincts so far as
heard from in the County. The American
County ticket, so far as reported has as
large majorities as JOHNSON. AS will be

of the whole ticket by large majority.
These are the reported majorities and no
doubt are generally correct:

That CORREsPONDENCE.-A cOmmunl-
cation from Georgetown appears in the
State Journal Of last Tuesday, which, like
other communications from this place to
that paper, seems to be a "Sell'' on the
Journal The writer says:
Gone gentleman's vote was challenged on
the ground that he had made a bet on the
result, and his K. n. opponent was allowed
to vote without question. The judges of
election, (all Know Nothings,) sent for the
justice of the peace to get his opinion, after
which my democratic friend was allowed to
vote.
This is all wrong. His *. n. oppo-
nent" had voted before the bet was made

Ms. One was a Democrat Again, they
did not "send for the justice of the peace, ="
but the opinion Of lawyer who is men,
Der Of the American party was given in fa-
vor Of the vote, and it was received The
same writer says that almost every natural
lied voter was challenged, and that many
who were entitled to vote went away in
disgust. This again is incorrect 1t is not
correct that any naturalized voter was i'm
properly prevented from voting, and that
such left in disgust. But it is true, as the
writer stated, that large number of for
eigners voted the American ticket

Make desolate the mound

Perch DER my shades

Avoid the spot

Midst breakers whirled
Friendless it stood alone
In the great world.

Stole its young mind,
And doomed it was to hate
And shun mankind.
