The Electoral Vote.

EDITORS PRESS The newspaper pres ,en-
orally, all over the State, have much to say rela-
tive to the Electoral vote of the State and wonder
same electoral ticket is so unequal. Perhaps I
can enlighten some of these gentry upon this
subject.
1t will be seen that 'Humphry Griffith received
much larger vote than any other member on
the same ticket with himself. That is to be ac-
counted for in this way Mr.. Griffith is Welsh
man by birth, or is said to be. He was one of the
Douglas Electors, and as such, travelled all over
the State, making stump speeches. Among
other places that he visited, was our town. Here
we have large Welsh population, nearly all of
whom are Republicans. Whilst here, Mr.. Grif-
fifth mixed freely with his countrymen, and solic-
tied them to vote for him, if for no one else on
his ticket; and gave reason, that he desired
to be candidate for Governor and if he out
ran the other members of his ticket, it would
give him lift towards securing the nomination.
What he did here, he did at other places, un-
doubtedly, among the Welsh, and by these means
obtained a few votes more than his party ticket.
The excess in the vote for Mr.. Hammond,
can be accounted for on pretty much the same
principle. He undoubtedly aspres to wear, the
Senatorial toga," which is soon to be plucked
from the shoulders of DIR. Gwin. Having some
personal friends among the Breckinridgers, who
were willing to give him hoist in that way, he
received a few more votes than the remaining
members on the Douglas tieket-merely to show
that he was popular.
A BRoDERICK DEMOCRAT.

HORRIBLE MURDER-A most fendish mur-
der was discovered to have been committed
a short distance. from Sonora on Saturday
morning last, under the following circum-
stances. As Mr.. Pinchard,a "a French resident
of this place, was going towards Kincad's
Flat, dog which accompanied him suddenly
ran into the bushes, near the junction of the
Cambel's Flat and Campo Seco roads, a short
distance off the trail, and cmmenced barking
and bowling at a great rate. His owner
whistled and called him; but no, he wouldn't
come. On going to the spot, Mr.. Pinchard
found the body Of man, who it was evident
had recently oeen murdered, and which he
recognized to be that of Judge Thomas c.
Brunton, an old and respected resident of
our county. Six knife wounds were upon
the body, four on the right arm and two in
the stomach. Judge B. was evidently assas-
snated that morning, while on his way to
kincaid's Flat. HIS cane was found abC1t
a hundred yards from where he fell, shiv-
cred and broken, and from other signs it was
plain to be seen be had defended himself
vigorously from the murderous assault
Mr. Pnchard on discovering the horrid deed,
came Immediately to town and informed
Coroner Freund of the fact, who repaired at
once to the scene Of the tragedy and brought
in the body.
On Tuesday the deceased was buried, the
Odd Fellows and Masons attending the fune-
raj in large numbers. He had been mem
Der of both societies. The funeral was very
impressive, and the largest that has ever
taken place in Sonora.
Judge T. C. Brunton was q natiye of
Pennsylvania, and at the time of his death
WAS between fifty and sixty years of age
He has resided in this county ever since
lS49, living at Yorktown, until taking up his
residence in Sonora some niue months since.
| The deceased has held several offices of
Importance in this county. In 1853 he was
Public AdministrS tor, and in 1856 was
elected to the popular branch of the Legis
lature, where he served through one session.
Judge Brunton had been remarkably nnfortu
nate, having twice before been attacked by
robbers. Some years ago he was robbed OF
a large sum Of money, $4,000 we believe,
and then tied to a tree Nociue was obtained
of the perpetrators. A few years later his
house at Yorktown was entered; and the
villains, after administering chloroform to
the sleeping family, inflicted terrible cash
on the Judges throat, and then decamped,
taking with them large amount of cash.
He had present ment, it is said, that he
would die by the hand Of an assassin, and
it proved, alls ! too true. He leaves a wife
and family to mourn his untimely 1ecease.-
