The Election OF Yesterday.

Six hundred and one votes, expressive of
as many persons opinions, were put into the
ballot box of yesterdays primary election.
Three tickets, several carriages and an in
Vulnerable quantity of patriotic election
eerers ran and were run, and although
very great deal of excitement prevailed,
no actual collisions occurred, Notwithstanding
various and sundry angry arguments and a
half dozen beligerant demonstrations were
had Taken for all in all, the election was
& very peaceable one throughout and was
conducted and resulted in far better humor
than we had reason TO expect.
Owing to the complication Of tickets and
the many names and interests of the va
rious candidates thereon, it was difficult
during the heat and vigor of the action to
satisfy the many anxious inquiries of parti-
zans as to the state of the battle, and the
oft repeated question, show does she wrig
gle" was as often answered with "quicn
sabe" The bona .fde Democratic ticket
was printed on blue paper, the "compro-
mise" and the "Unions" on white, but which
of the three species were predominating was
impossible TO decide, although the "twO to
one" strength OF the whites seemed to be
gaining the better of the ''true blue"
A very small quantity of good liquor, and
vast amount of " rotgut" was drunk, but
with very slightly deleterous effects, or at
least so outward appearances indicated, for
nobody was drunk until everything was
concluded, and then there seemed to be
method in their Madness" for in their in
ebriety the tipsey ones sought their beds
and slept off their intoxication, success and
misfortunes.
A great many outsiders attempted to
wiring in" but their votes were challenged
and they discarded, much to the satisfac-
ton of the " challenging parties" and the
chagrin of the would bevoters.
A reasonable conjecture of the probable
results as regards the general questions, is
all we are able to express. The universal
opinion is, that all the candidates are in ia
vor of McCorkle for Governor. AS to local
matters, they are lawfully mixed" There
being about 90 candidates, and COL tickets,
the counting is to be determined at so late
an hour that we are entirely unable to give
the official result.

HARD ON GREELY.-A Nebraska paper

We received letter two days ago from
Chicago, informing US that the writer would
be in Nebraska last September. Aud since
it was written he has been here, remained
month, made thousand dollars in cash,
had two fights, and has gone back and got
married. And the last bundle Of New York

Democratic state journal.

The Sacramento Bee,l in noticing the
failure of this staunch Democratic Journal
says:
1t appears that Mcneil had several notes
of the firm which on Saturday were put in.
to one which with one for So, $50 So, given
to John White, the Editor, on Saturday
make the amount for which Mcneil attached
The attaching creditors were willing to let
the paper be published as usual, but the at
torneys said it had been held in similar
cases that the attaching creditors would
thereby loose portion of their rights, as it
would be necessary if future attachments
were issued, TO get the written consent of
them also to its publication. Under these
circumstances we learn that Mr.. Redding
concluded not to complicate the matter
All the workmen, with feeling and
unanimity which does honor to the craft,
told Mr.. Redding that if he would but say
the word they would get out the paper this
morning as usual, either at the BE office,
or some other. He however declined their
generous proposal.
There is no man in Sacramento who has
more warm friends than he, however much
he may be hated politically AS business
man, good citizen and gentlemen, he has
few, if any superiors. He may be depressed
fer time, but he will soon recover. Even
now his friends are Offering him noble aid,
if he stands in need of it. About his abili-
ty to meet these demands we know nothing
but from what we have seen and know OF
him, we are convinced that he will satisfy
them ell if within his power

DANGER OF WEARING A TAIL.-The Sac
ramento Union relates singular escape of
a Chiuaman, from being killed in a machine
shop. He was carrying some parcels through
the sewing establishment of D. Hesse, on
street, between 9TH and 9Th streets. The
machines, four in number, are propelled by
u small steam engine, the connecting shaft
running the whole length of the building -
Carelessly backing too near, his pendant
tail accidentally touching the shaft, was
wound around it, dragging him to the floor.
The head becoming jammed between the
floor and shaft, and the engine unequal to
the resistance. the machinery stopped. The
stoppage developed the cause, when the en-
gine was Immediately reversed, the tail un-
wound, and John enabled to regain his feet.
He then wound up his tail, put it in his hat,
looked at the shaft suspiciously, and va
mosed.

The stnte Convention.

Since the meeting of the Democratic
State Central Committee in San Francisco,
1t has been the studied effort Of one or two
sectional democratic papers, aud the entire
opposition press, to place the control of the
Democratic State Convention into the hands
OF men favorable to the gubernatorial aspi-
rations of Ex-senator Weller. To effect
this, they have taken especial pains to pro-
claim the result fprimary elections in diff
ferent counties as being favorable to Weller
almost before the ballots were counted.-
Foremost in this attempt to forstall and con-
troll democratic action, has been the Sacra-
mento Union. The columns of this ancient
enemy of everything Democratic, have been
daily laden with fancied triumphs for the
cause they have cspoused This work was
continued until the Union had succeeded in
giving the Democratic convention, to be
held on the 14th instant, TO Mr. Weller,
when tits suddenly ascertained that there
is "screw loose" in their calculations and
that it is quite probable that the Democratic
Convention will be governed by wise coun-
ellis and select a candidate for Governor, as
they may deem proper after mature deliber-
alton.
1t has ever been the policy Of the ene-
mics of the Democratic party, to exert such
influence as their position would enable
them, to influence the action of democratic
conventions, in the hope Of securing the
nomination OF men that could be easily
beaten. That they have high hopes of ac-
complishing this object now is evidenced by
the daily interest manifested in the result
Of the democratic primary elections, by the
opposition press of the State; but that these
efforts will influence the action Of the Dem
ocratic State Convention, we do not believe.
Considerations for the welfare Of the Demo.
cratic party, and tie furtherance of its
principles, should alone actuate that body,
and as long as that is done, the democracy
can render their nominee cheerful and
hearty Support
