LATER FROM CALIFORNIA.
GREAT AMERICAN TRIUMPH.

GREAT AMERICAN TRIUMPH.
By the arrival of the Philadelphia we hav'
received dates from San Francisco to the cod
ult., fifteen days later than previous adyices
1t will be seen that the American party has de-
clared its supremacy in the Golden State in q
most decided manner. The official returns from
all parts Of the State had not been received,
but, as far as heard from, Johnson's majority
was 5484. From the San Francisco Evening
News Of the 10Th. We extract the following:
The most exciting event since our last has
been the State election and its glorious results

could do, was done for the enemy /; but g SAM

What imperfect, but the official canvass will not
vary it much. J. Neely johnson, the American
candidate is elected Governor by 5000 majority,
which is the highest ever given for that Office,
and with one exception, the highest ever given
for any office in California. The ticket elected
is as follows
Gopernor--J EEEnr JOHNSON, of saora-
mento.
Lieutenant Goveyuor--R. NJ ANDERSON. of
FL Dorado.
Justices Of Supreme Court---H G Murray,
Of solona, [full term, D. s. Terry, of San Jo-
aquin, for the unexpired term of Alex Wells,

:. State ComptroHer-Geo. W, Whitman. Of
Tuolumne.
State Ireasurer-Henry Bates, of Shasta.
attorney GeneraS--W. T. Wallace, of Santa
Clara
Surveyor General--John A. Brewster, of
Sonoma.
State Printer-J James Allen, Of Yuba.,
State Prison Direct0rs-F. s. Mckenzie, Of
Trinity; Ezekiel Wilson, Of San Francisco !;
Alexander Bell, of Les Angeles
This victory is one of the most complete on
record We having secured decided majority
in the Legislature, which secures an Uuited
States Senator in place of VIM. M Gwin Near
ly all the old Democratic strongholds went
against Bgler at the rate Of 500 or 1000 ma
jority. In San Francisco, Bigler managed to
get larger majority, but lndia-rubber ballot
boxes, for which we are famous, were not sufi
cient to save him. All the County officers Of
the Phalanx party, members of the Legislature,
ETC., were declared elected. .a
Election day passed off without the usual
rows and bloody fight, so we'll did :" SAM
have everything arranged to prevent bloodshed
At Wisconsin Hill an Irishman was shot while
obstructing the progress Of an American to the
polls, and at Iowa Hill q demonstration on the
ballot box was repelled by force. Nothing OF
material Importance occurred, however The
vote on the Prohibitory Liquor Law is not yet
announced, but the returns thus far show ma
jority against the proposition.
1t appears the Indians who committed out
RACES on the whites on the Upper klamath
have gone unpunfshed, and the country in con
sequence, was in a perfect ferment at last ac
counts. On Althouse Creek, the Indians had
robbed miners cabins Of provisions, etc. In
Rogue River Valley, party of whites in pur-
suit OF the maraudipg savages, were fired upon
and two killed. These facts, in connection with
the supposed murder of Gov Stevens, of Wash
ington Territory, ny the Black Feet indians,
will probably exasperate the white population
of Northern California and Oregon TO such an
extent that before the year is over general
war of determination will be commenced
Mining news is rather dull, although we con-
tinue to read in the local papers of strikes and
rich diggings. In those sections where canals
and bitches do not penetrate, all operations are
at stand-still, waiting for water The yyap-
proaeh of the rainy season invariably causes o
dearth of mining items If the water is plenty
and easy of access, unheard Of quantities of
gold will doubtless be extracted from the earth
during the coming season.
Grass Valley and Weaverville, two of the
most fourishing villages in the State, have been
destroyed by fire during the past fortnight. TN
the 7th inst the flames were discovered in the
Hall Of the Sons of Temperance, in Weaver
