The Gubernatorinl Contest.

The nrimary elections have been held IN 0ae-
ramento and San Francisco, and Governor "''-
Ter has literally been swept from tne heiu VI
hattie. In Sacramento but two uckets were
run-tbe Weller and Latham tickets. out OF
about 1900 votes cast the Weller tcketdid not
receive four hundred votes-not even a respect
able minority. We suppose all the opposition
to Weller united upon the Latham ticket, think
ing, as is in all probability the truth, that a
defeat of Weller in his own county would be
equivalent to his defeat in the contest. Of the
6s delegates elected in the city and county, sixty
seven were in favor of Latham. In Convention
these delegates elected delegates to the State
Convention, and instructed them to vote for Mr..
Latham " first, last and all the time" The res
olutions were offered by gentleman Mr.. Gillis,
who we are surprised to see so very active in a
Democratic Convention. Not long ago he was
such very patriotic American" that he though,
no man born out of the United States fit for any
purpose exceptto bea "hewer of wood and drawer
of water" This resolution exhibits such a lack
of the true Democratic spirit that it will inevi-
tably hurt Mr.. Latham.
In San Francisco, none but Nugent and We'll
Ter tickets were run, and there, as in Sacra-
mento, the Weller ticket was shockingly defeat
ed. The vote cast was very large-twce as
many as the number cast at the last election for
Baldwin. Notwithstanding that city has gone
for Nugent, however, we do not think he ha:
more than a remarkably slim chance for the
nomination, except as a compromise candidate
We think the contest now lies between Denver
and Lathanl-with the chances in favor of the
former. Either of these gentlemen viii suit us
to dot, as also will Nugcnt.
After all, E" white man is mighty uncertain
and we do not mean to say at this time who viii
be nominated for Governor, although we have
made arrangements to inform our readers all
about it just SO soon as-the Convention make:

LAUGHABLE.-The white friends of the China
men living on Townsends Flat have recently
been treated very shabbily by their proteges,
the Chow-chows. 1t appears, from what is
stated by our correspondent, that few nights
since the Townsend Flat boys expelled the
Chinese, because of their thicving propensites.
These same Townsend Flat boys in the Shasta
Miners Convention, were opposed to expeling
the Chinese--thought it was Illegal unjust,
cruel, and inhuman to do so Now, that their
property has been stolen by the thieving Ori-
entails, they can begin to see the wisdom of
thrusting the filthy scoundrels forth from the
mines. We are glad that the boys have seen
their error. To our friend Frank Sterling, with
whom we have had an occasional tilt on this
question, we extend the hand of fellowship and
forgiveness. Go and sin no more

as part OF the political local gossip of the day.

we are authorized to say that Judge Pitzer, of
Trinity will not be candidate for Judge of this
