THE RESULT.

It is perhaps unnecessary that we should in
form our readers that the anti-Lecomptons arr
badly beaten. All the Lecompton State candi
dates are elected, and the most of them by larg'
majorities. The returns come in so slowly tina
we canuot as yet form any reliable estimate al
to how large the majorities will be, but from
present appearances Scott and Burch will lead
McKibbin and Baker some 5000 or 1000 votes
while O'Meara will run very close to Bolts fol
State Printer. In fact, as far as returns have
been received, O'Meara is ahead Of his com
pettor, but the counties yet to be heard from
are expected to give large Lecompton MAORI
ties, sufficient, at least to elect Bolts. The Le
.comptons, Of course, are greatly elated at the
result, and the President will be hugely graft
fed to learn that the people Of California have
sent two ciphers to vote as he tells them in the
next Congress.
We have never, since the opening OF the can
vass, indulged in any hopes of electing our
State ticket, as parties were organized, and
consequently are not much disappointed with
the result. Last year Baldwin lead Currey. for
Supreme Judge, some s,4O0 votes, notwith
standing the latter was voted for by the Re
publicans; and Meloney received between It,,
1000 and IL. 900 more votes than Dawley. These
majorlties were too great to be easily over
come. The total vote of the State will be muct
larger this year than last, and we believe tb'
full returns will show that the anti-Lecomptoni
have made larger gains than either of the Other
parties.
Some months ago the Republican organ, al
San Francisco, announced that the future sue
cess of that party in this State depended on the
election Of Latham. His election, it was sup
posed, would have the effect to disorganize and
scatter the anti-Lecompton party, and as there
would then be none but sectional parties 10 the
State, it was calculated that many of the Pop
ular Sovereignty Democrats would vote the
Republican in preference to the Lecompton
ticket. For this reason, many Of the Republi
cans voted for Latham, but if they expected by
SO doing to induce the anti-Lecompton Demo
Gratis to vote their ticket hereafter. they art
destined to be disappointed. 1t is impossible
now to form any idea as to how parties may bt
Aorganized next year, as that will depend, tc
some extent, upon the action of the sevsra
National Conventions, but we are satisfied thai
! the 10000 to 10000 voters who have this yeai
supported Currey can be depended on in future
to support the doctrine of Popular Sovereignty
regardless o f party names and organizations.

CONSTITUTIONAL CoNVENTIoN-The returns
show that there were 4,O2O votes cast in this
county for Constitutional Convention, and
675 against the measure. But as it requires a
majority Of all the votes cast in the State to
carry the measure, and 6,295 votes we're polled
in the county for Governor, the real majority
for the Convention is only 2,275. Placer and
81 Dorado also gave large majorities for the
Convention, but it is believed the measure ID
defeated in the State.

PRIvArEERNa.-The London Herald, of late
date, stated that Mr.. Dallas bad officially mott
fed the British Government that the Govern
ment of the United States had resolved to aban-
don privateering, as portion of maritime law
in accordance with the terms of the treaty
agreed upon by the Congress of European pow
ers in 1856. We never placed any reliance in
the statement of the London paper, although
it purported to be made on the best authority,
and the Eastern papers received by the last
overland mail deny in toto that our Govern
ment has sent any such noti6ca tion to the Bri-
tish Ministry. With small navy and an i'm
mense ocean commerce, the United States can
not abandon the right Of privateering. until the
European Governments first reduce their ma.
vies, or accede to the proposition Of Mr.. Marcy
that private property shall not be mOlested on
the ocean in time of war.

attacks by the Indians upon the settlers of White
water and Walnut rivers, in Butler and Greenwood
counties, Kansas Territory. The number of Kaw

about 5000, and all warriors. They have lately re-
moved from the Little Arkansas, where they have
been collecting for some time back, for the purpose
Fit seems of driving back the settlers from the FROM
tier. Some interpret their motives to be revenge
for the hanging of the two Kaws at Council Grove

had taken place between the Indians and whites
near the town of Ell Dorado, in which lO4 Of the

THE WAR IN SoUTH AMERICA between
Buenos Ayres and the Argentine Government
is likely to rest during the winter, which now
prevails in that latitude. In the spring. about
our October or November, 1t will be urged with
activity from the preparations going on. The
French Admiral has proposed to the United
States Commander to batter down the de-
fences, provided Buenos Ayres should block
ade the river. The American Commander de-
clined, but Buenos Ayres afterwards proclaim
ed the perfect freedom Of the river to COM
merce. The steamer Ascension while descend.
ing the Parana, bearing the United States Min
lister, the Hon. b. @. Yancey, and Commodore
Steadman of the United States Navy, was
fired at several times by the forces of Urquiza
at Rosario. Fortunately, no damage to life or
property occurred. The act was unauthori-
zed, and apoligized for. The United States
Exploring Expedition, under Capt Page,
were, at last accounts, up the Paraguay river,
at Cayaba, little town in Brazil. They are
all we'll. The Fourth of July received gene
raj attention among all Americans at Buenos
Ayres. The United States Consul, the Hon.
w. IL. Hudson, aud the American clergyman
the Rev. w. Goodfellow, received their friends
ali day, and large delegations of Americans
and other foreigners attended both places.
