rhe stato pebt.

We give below all the returns on the question
Of paying or repudiatiug the State debt which
have thus far been received at this Office. II
was known soon after the election that the pso-
pie had decided by large majority to pay the
debt, hence but little interest has been taken to
ascertain the exact vote. Only about half of
the counties are included in the list, and from
some of these the vote is not full. When the
returns are all in It will probably be found that
about three-fourths of the citizens Of the State
have voted to pay the debt. From Ell Dorado
Yuba, and some other populous counties, which
went almost unanimously in favor Of paying
the debt. no returns have been received.

A FALsEHooD.-A statement was made in the
last Journal, which was designed to create the
impression that the editor of the Democrat voted
against some Of the Democratic nominees at
the late election. The statement SO far as it
whole cloth. There were some seventy straight
Democratic tickets put into the ballot box in
the Nevada precinct, one of these was voted
by ourself. A newspaper descends to very
low ebb indeed, when it rakes up the private
acts of individuals to make them the subject of
comment.

MOUNTAIN PEACHES Mr.. Robinson sent us,
the other day, mammoth pcach-the largest
we ever saw-raised in his orchard on the
South Yuba 1t measured eleven inches in
circumference. Mr.. Robinson has one of the
finest orchards in the mountains. From one
tree he gathered hundred and sixty peaches,
weighing in the aggregate, seventy-dve pounds
lie will clear this year about $4,000 from the
fruit of two hundred trees, and has some five
hundred trees, of the choicest varieties, which
will bear next year.

AGRICULTURAL FAIR AT SAN JosE.-An Agr-
cultural Fair will be held at San Jose on the
18th and 10th inst, the principal object of which
will be to exhibit the splendid agricultural and
horticultural productions of the teeming valley
of that name. Every preparation has been
made on the part Of the Committee to render it
acceptable in all respects, and we understand
that the display of fruits, flowers, vegetables,
live stocks of every description, farming imple-
ments, and everything that relates to agricul-
ture, will be very fine and extensive. Races of
various descriptions will also take place be-
tween the finest horses in the State. 1t will
doubtless attract crowd OF visitors from all
parts of the State.

EXTRAORDINARY ABDUCTION CAsE.--The Sac
ramento Union, of Monday, gives the partlcu-
lars ofan outrage committed at vaca Valley,
Solano county. II seems that Mr.. Il. II. Vance
is the owner of tract of land upon which there
are number of Settlers with whom he has had
some difficulty. On Saturday night, he and his
business man Mr. Collins retired to bed and
about half past ten o'clock, five men, painted
black, and disguised so as to be difficult of rec
ognition, entered the room, seized Mr.. Vance
and took him of. Mr.. Collins started out at
once and gave the alarm, and by IL O'Clock
forty men were out in pursuit of the abductors
The search was kept up oil night, but nothing
could be heard Of Mr.. Vance. Several persons
had been arrested in Vacaville on suspicion.
The Uhion'S informant left at eight o'clock, on
Sunday morning. and when about six or eight
miles from there man overlook him and told
him that Mr.. Vance had escaped from his cap
tors and returned uninjured although perfectly
naked. He had nothing but his shirt on when
he was taken away, and this he had torn up and
wrapped around bis feet. The whole affair is a
most extraordinary one.

FROM MAzATLAN.--Mr. Rasey Biven came up
on Friday from Mazatlan. He says that an at
tempt was made to assassinate him, by the
friends of the Pesquiera party, in Mazatlan, on
the goth of July. He charges that the whole
thing was got up because he had gone before
one of the courts and sworn to the guilt Of Gov
ernor Pesquiera and others, in inviting Crabb
into Sonora. He succeeded in wounding one
of the ruftians, when he was surrounded and ta-
ken to JAIL aud afterwards sentenced to fifteen
days Imprisonment for carrying concealed wea-
pOnS.

THE VoTE FOR GOVERNOR Returns have been
received either in whole or part from all but
one or two counties. The popular vote of the
State will scarcely exceed $1,000 being about
$4,000 less than the vote of last year. The
vote for Weller will exceed by some 5000 or
10000 that of both the other Gubernatorial
candidates AS far as heard from. Stanly leads
Bowie some 1900 votes. According to the es-
Inmates of the Sacramento Union of Monday,
the vote will foot up as follows; Weller, 4S,
lO2; Stanly, II 1922; Bowie, 1857.

ASPECT OF PARrIEs.-The prophetic genius
that presides over the Journal has ''chalked OUT
the aspect of political parties next year. Ac-
cording to this astute individual, the Republi-
cans are ready to disband and unite with the
Tammany Democracy, and the Americans with
the Chvalry Democracy lie probably speaks
by authority when he says the Americans are
ready to disband, but has some doubts whether
half the Democratic party will have the bold
ness to cut adrift and join them. We must con-
iess that it would require considerable courage
for any number of the members of popular
party to cut themselves adrift and join either Of
the decaying and miserable factions that have
for the past two years been trying to maintain
themselves in this State as political parties
The Americans and Republicans are doubtless
ready to sacrifice all the principles they ever
professed, If by so doing they could unite them
selves with any faction that would be likely to
have sufficient number Of votes to help them
clutch the spoils. In the language Of the cele
brated Secret Circular, "What are principles
without power" and we might add, what is the
use in party trying to maintain q separate
organization, when it has not votes enough to
elect its leaders to Office. by another year we
expect to see all the factions Of the State united
against the Democracy. 1t matters but little
what name they assume, or what principles they
represent. The great object with them will be
to carry the State.

CLOSE CONTEST The contest for Sheriff in
Souoma county drew so much of public atten-

of. The returns as published in the Sonoma
paper give Woods S75, Green s75 Siddons 795.
The two highest are a tie, but it is thought
that the official returns will add one to or take
one away from either Woods or Green.
