THE STATE DEMOCRATIC VICTORY.

The victory achieved by the Democracy on
the I'd of September, says the San Francisco
Herald, entities California to take the foremost
rank in the Democratic States Of the Union.
In the last Presidential election it won for it.
self the proud title of the Banner State, and
it. BY the last steamer the people of the
Eastern States received the intelligence of the
triumphant election of the Hon. John b. We'll
Ter, the Democratic candidate for the office Of
Governor, together with the whole State ticket.
Since then, the official returns of nearly all the
counties in the State have been received and
they reveal the fact that Mr.. Weller has thus
far majority of II ,696 over both his compet-
itors, and that majority will, in all probably
be increased fully one thousand more when all
the returns come to hand. The total vote now
sums up 8s,126. 1t will probably reach
100000 The total vote polcd at the last
Presidential election was 10000. BY com
parison with the vote at that time we find
that Mr.. Weller has received within 5000
as many votes as Mr. Buchanan, and this num-
Der will be still further reduced when the full
returns are received; while the vote for Mr..
Bowie shows falling off of 10000 in the
American vote of last year. The vote for Mr..
Stanly is about the same as that poiled for
Fremont; Black Republicanism is stationary
in California; it has made no progress here,
and never can. In the next Legislature there
viii be larger Democratic majority than ever
was before, even IN this thoroughly Demo
cratic State The returns show tha. the Sem
ate will be composed Of twenty-six Democrats,
five republicans, 1.-TWO holding over from last
year, two Americans, and one independent (;
while in the Assembly there will be fifiy.f
Democrats, nine Republicans, three Amcri-
cans and four independent. From these facts
a correct idea may be formed of the extent Of
the victory achieved by the Democracy of this
State on the 81 of September. 1t was sweep
ing and complete.

MALFEAsANcEs IN THE U. S. MINT AT SAr
FRANCISCO Speaking on this subject, the Sar
Francisco Herald says We have no doub
the peculations in the Mint have been greatly
exaggerated; but that there has been vas
amount of criminaty in that establishment, re
cent developments prove beyond question
How far individuals are implicated, it is moi
our province to venture an opinion. One o.
the culprits, whose guilt is beyond doubt, has
been already brought to justice, and is now
suffering the penalty of his crime
A Commission might with great advantage
be instituted by the President, for the purpose
of inquiring into all alleged abuses in the var
GUS departments of the public service on the
Pacific. Thus the innocent would be freed
from obloquy, and the guilty brought TO pun,
ishment.

DEATH OF CHIEF JUSTICE MURRAY.

Hugh G. Murray, Chief Justice of the Su-
preme Court of the State of California, died in
Sacramento, on Friday last The public gen.
orally were not wholly unprepared for the an
nouncement Of this sad event, as he had been
suffering under extreme Illness for some ten
days previous to his DEATH In the very prime
of manhood, he has been stricken down.
We make the following extracts from the
State Journal:
I'VE have known Judge Murray intimately since
ls49 Our first meeting was at Panama. From that
period until some time in 80, we did not him. but
he had not BEEN overlooked A Legislature had con
vened, and Murray, young he was had been elected
as one Of the Justices of the Superior Court Of San
Francisco.
From that time, with very short intermisson, he
has occupiel a seat on the Bench, and although bri
80 yelrs Of age, has for several years enjoyed the
proud distinction of Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court Of the State. In this exalted position he has
exhibited talents of so high an order, judgment SC
matured, and mind capable of grasping questions
Of vast magnitude, that even his enemies have been
content to award him the highest position in the State
as jurist He was Of true nobility Of nature
although somewhat prodiga bold generous, and self
possessed. He had high appreciation of the dignity
of his position when in the discharge of his official
duty but in his social relations he was free and ALA
bic, TO a fault. OF ardent temperament it is
not singular that he has had the most devoted friends
to aid him in bis rapid rise, neither will it be won
deed at that he has had to encounter the most bitter
opposition. Few men of his age have been more vio-
lenty prosecuted but he could scorn those whose
tives were base, groyeng hypocrcal, and hur de-
lance at all his enemies.
That Hugh C. Murray was among the brightest
lights N the State will not be denied even by those
who have most strenuously opposed him, and the best
evidence Of his genius as well as of his strength of
character may be found in the fact that among his
most devoted friends are members of the bar, alike
eminent for their ability learning and virtue. In his
decisions from the Supreme Bench, he has established
fame Of which veteran judge might well be proud.
They are imperishable and will his to be
handed down to posteriy."

Of working our mines and developing the min

Every quartz miner should take deep in
terest in this, and become a member of the
Association, imparting whatever information
he may have acquired in mining, and receiving
the experience Of others in return. Speci-
mems of the different veins in the county
should be contributed by their owners to the
cabinet We look upon this Association as
the surcst means of developing our mineral
wealth, and are pleased TO see its organization
carried out with such an energetic spirit

"RoNDo" BANKING GANE-In Sacramen.
to, last week, II. Shutz was tried for VIC.
lation of the 1st Section Of the Gambling Act
by playing the game called "rondo" The
question pending was is or is not "rondo" a
thanking gamc.". Upon this point Justice
jerks, after taking the case under advisement,
rendered decision that "banking game" in
which fund is raised to be staked-cither by
the conductors of the game or by other par.
ties; that in playing "rondo," two funds are
raised, one against the other; and that these
funds are as much banks as though they were
owned by persons keeping or managing the
game therefore, that "rondo" is in the pur.
view of the statute, "banking game" and
the parties conducting it guilty of violation
of the law. The proceedings will be contin-
ued, most probably, before other courts. 1t
is reported that since the above question has
been brought forward quite a number Of
"rondo" tables have commenced operations in
Sacramento.
