Total,

SoLANo CouNrY.-In this county, says
the Benicia Herald, the whole Demo-
cratic ticket has been elected The con-
test lay between the Offices Of Sheriff and
County Judge, and both tho democratic
candidates passed through the ordeal un-
scathed, and now bear tho palm Of victory
in their hands. Somuch for regular NOM
inations-so much for the integrity of the
Democracy Of SolanO. In Ell Dorado, our
regular nominees were scratched by trail
tors who attended our county convention
as delegates, and who, falling to conduct
it to suit their own purposes, turned
against the ticket. Now, some of these
same fellows arc trying to sneak back into
the party they sought to bctray. With.
out their assistance-in fact, in spite Of
their fusion with the Black Republicans
and Americans, the Democracy have
achieved brilliant victory, and they are
loudly cxulting over it, and trying to reap
the benefit It The traitors are known
and despised, and they may as well 60
over to the enemy where they belong.

PLACERVILLE.
SATURDAY. SEPT. n, 1857.
Omoral Vote Of n Dorado County.

OMcIal Vote OF FL Dorado County.
Below we publish the official vote Of
Fl Dorado County, with the exception Of
two small precincts, Somerset and Wild
Goose Flat, which will not materially
change the figures. The vote is quite
small, but this is easily accounted for
The absence Of all excitement no fOrmi-
dAble opposition, the certainty Of the cleo
ton Of Col. Weller, the disruption Of the
American party, the unpOpularity Of Stan
~, ell contributed to quiet all apprehen-
sion Of danger and to allay excitement
Intelligent members both Of the Ameri-
can and Republican parties, frankly ad-
United that even if the two parties fused,
which was impossible, Col. Weller could
not be defeated. The Democrats, con-
sciOus of their strength, became lukewarm
and indifferent, and large number Of
them deemed it unnecessary to turnout.
Had there been full vote, Col. Wcller's
majority in Ell Dorado would have exceed
cd two thousand. He has majority Of
1889 over Maj. Bowie. and 1888 over
the imam of pious meditation and study"
and a majority Of 10S over both. The
true Democracy have just cause to cxult
over their victory.

BALL AT Ell DoR1Do.-Mr. Davis, Of
the Sierra Nevada House, FL Dorado, has
issued invitations to ball to be given by
him on Thursday evening, the saith inst.
His ball room, "Independence Hall" is
the most spacious one in the county, and
as he is noted for getting up the pleasant
est Of parties, VIC doubt not that It will
be crowded with the youth and beauty
Of tho county.

CoLp SPRINGS, Sep. 10. 1857.

COLD SPRINGS, Sep. ~. 1857.
MEssRs. EDITORS :-Oncc more victory
has pcrched- upon the standard Of the
Democratic party, and the cohorts ofmid.
night thuggery and their allies, the Black
Republicans, have been routed "horsC,
foot and dragOon," and with q slight
change of the personal pronoun, we might
exclaim with the old Roman conqucror
of Gaul, REM, ridi, rici. Unjust now ap-
pear sclf.evident to every observer of
passing events that the intelligent and
patriotic maSscs of California on the 2nd
inst, placed forever their seal of disap-
probation upon that party whose organi-
zation IL based solely upon the one idea
Of religious intolerance and the prOcrip.
ton of our foreign born frllow-citizens.
What new name or form the old enemies
of Democracy will next assume, when
they appear upon the stage Of political
action, is now beyond the ken or knowi-
edge of the most aStutc divincr Of coming
events, but come in what gtIiSc they may,
they will meet with the same whitening
rebuke in the future, that they have en-
cOuntercd in tho past, for it is as palpable
as the hand writing on the wall, that the
principles Of Democracy will ever bc tri-
uInphant in this blessed land Of liberty
and religious federation.
The Cold Springs Franklin Lyccum
commenced their seventh annual session
on the 9th inst. Our hall was den civ
crowded on the first night by ladies and
gentlemen, who appeared to bc highly
pleased with the exercises Of the evening.
We debated the follow ing question: ere
solved, That it would bc policy in the
Government Of the United States, to form
new Territory out Of Carson Valley and
the western portion Of Utah. The dis
putants on either side cvinccd much zeal
and great desire to gain the decision.
| would not draw any invilious COmpa,i
son between the different participants in
the debate, yet think the remarks Of
Mr.. Thomas Tracy merit passing notice,
for his speech bore the impress of deep
thought, extensive reading, and thorough
knowledge Of the subject under cOnside-
ration. 1t is n matter Of surprise to me
that the intelligent and cnterprising
young men Of Placcrville have not ere
now established public Library or even
a Lyccnm. Come, gentlemen Of the Ra
vine City, follow the laudablc example Of
your ncighbors Of Cold Springs.
In addition to the mining that is being
carried on in this district, many OF our
cntcrprising citizens are turning their at
tcntion to agricultural and horticultural
pursuits. There are many well cultivated
and paying ranches and gardens in thu
vicinity OF Cold Springs, and still the i'm
prOvelnents go on. MIR. j. c. McTarna-
han recently erected n substantial and
comnOdious dwelling on his ranch, which
in architectural design and ncatncSS of
appearance, is not surpassed by any pri-
vatc residence in the county. Indeed,
Mac. has ''stuck his stakes" for life in the
valley Of Cold Springs, and he AYERS that
he would be the happicst hOmbre alive if
he had some fair-cycd seMOritu to share
his joys and sorrows down tho Humboldt
Of life to the other side Of Jordan.

The exhibition given by SignOr Davies,
Of COlOma, on Thursday evening at the
Theatre, was not SO well attended as we
anticipated, nor as the performance mer-
tied. He is greatly superior to Jacobs,
who drew crowded houses, but as he
came among US quietly, without any
humbug or foolish display, he was poorly
encouraged. Now that he is known,
when he comes again he will be literally
patronixed.

The grounds upon which the Court
based its decision, were that inasnuch as
the return made on the execution is in
sufficient in the description of the proper
ty upon which the Court House in Colo
ma now stands, the Deputy Sheriff, Sam
uel Todd, who executed the deed Of con-
tirmatiOn to Plaintitf on the 10th day Of
May 1856, had no authority to go behind
the return OH the execution to obtain his
description of the property, and as the de-
scriptiOn in the return is insufficient, it
must also be insufficient in the decd Of
confirmation.
Notice Of appeal was given by Plain
tiffs.

STATE FUNDS. - On the 21st of last

$21, 8O1 10 to the credit of the State
Tom Findley, the Democratic Treasurer

the funds Of the State, and will not him
self speculate with them nor allow his

two years ago. 1t was an expensive ex-
pertinent, az the result has proved.
