Election in California.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 2.-There is no
trade doing to-day-the stores and shops
are generally closed, and all good citizens
are attending the election. The vote of this
city up to four O'Clock, this P. NJ, is unpre-
cedentedly large. The estimated majority
for the Union ticket is about 700. The
Peoples Independent Union Legislative
ticket is probably elected by 100 majority.
Telegraphic returns from Sacramento
Marysville, Nevada, Stockton and San Jose
down to now, estimate the vote in those
precincts for the Union State ticket
nearly two to one for the Opposition.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 3.-Incomplete re-
turns from the principal counties in the
State indicate immense Union majOrities.
Downey, democratic candidate for Gov
ernor, owing to his excellent record, while
Governor in former years, runs considera-
bly, ahead of his ticket, but Cearns' major
ity, notwithstanding, will hardly fall be-
low 10000.
All the counties heard from elect the
Union legislative ticket. The Union ma
jority in Francis county is probably 1000.
The Independent Union legislative ticket
got nearly as many votes as the combined
vote for the regular Union and Democratic
tickets

Thanks to all for the great Republic-for
the principles by which it lives and keeps
alive for mans vast future. Thanks to all.
Peace does not appear so distant as
it did. I hope 1t will come soon, and
come to stay, and so come as to be worth
the keeping in all future time
1t will then have been proven that
among freemen there can be no successful
appeal from the ballot to the bullet, and
that they who take such appeal are sure to
lose their case and pay the costs. And then
there will be some black men who can
remember that with silent tongue and with
clenched teeth, and with steady eye, and
well poised bayonet, they have helped
mankind in this great contamination;
while / fear that there will be some
white men unable to forget that with ma
lignant heart and deceitful speech, they
have striven to dishonor it. Still, let us not
be over sanguine of speedy final triumph.
Let us be quite sober, but diligently apply
the means, never doubling that just
God, in his own good time, will give us the
rightful results.
Yours, very truly,
