THE ELECTION IN CALIFORNIA
Col Weller is undoubtedly elected governor of Caor-
MIA by very large majority, but find no such figures
in the San Francisco papers furnished in the above
despatch. The San Francisco Herald of the 9th ult.
published on the morning of the steamers departure
has the following:
We give below the returns of the election received up
to the hour of going to press this morning Only twenty
three counties have thus far been hear FROM and the
turns from the most of them incomplete and none
of them official with the exception OF There are
foryfou counties in the State The whole vote cast at
the last presidential election 10000. There is
scarcely any doubt but that Mr. Weller will have
a handsome majority both his competitors The
only point not made fully clear by the returns which
have to hand is whether Major Bowie, the American
candidate has received larger vote than Mr. Stanly the
back-republican candidate We still adhere to the opin
ion that the former will have the larger VOTE for the
that returns have yet been received from
the northern counties where Mr. Stanley will get very
few votes, and from the southern counties where
will he cast for him ...
