THE CALIFORNIA ELECTION.


The Democratic Central Committee at San
FRANCISCO announce the election Of q Demo
cratic majority to the next Legislature. Very
meagre returns have been telegraphed to- Or
egon. If left exclusively to Oregon Journals
and telegraphs for information, we should
scarcely know that an election had been held
in neighboring State. Though all our in
formation is derived through Republican
sources, enoughis known to force the Nevada
Enterprise to confess that ''the Copperheads
have met with more or less success in every
county in the State" eg
+ The following returns are condensed from
the columns of the Sacramento ULion
SAN FRANolsoo.-One Senator and six As
semblymen are elected on the Democratic
ticket and the same number on the Boilers
Union ticket. $685. bfa s'i lsA
SAoRAMENro-Th Democratic Sheriff, At
torney, Treasurer and Clerk elected in Sac
ramento county, the balance all Short Hairs
SIsKIYoU COUNTY election in this
county passed off quietly. The contest was
warm and close. Returns from all the pre-
"
ton of ABOUT half of each ticket The legis-
lative portion of the Union ticket is some
eighty behind, and can only be elected by
the soldiers vote of Surprise Valley.
SoNoMA CoUNTY.-Everything gone Demo-
cratic Possibly Orr IUnion), is elected.
STANsLAUs CoUNTY.-In Stauislaus county
the whole Democratic ticket is elected.
TEHAMA CoUNrY.-The entire Union county
ticket, elected Ransom, Union candidate
for Assembly, 1876 ahead one precinct to
hear from. od#t
Ell DORADO CoUNTY.-The Democrats have
elected Senator, Sheriff. and probably most
of the county officers. asAGSA
BUTTE CoUNTY-Things are so close that
we cannot determine yet. We think w. H.
B. Hunt independently is beaten.
y CALAyERAs CoUNTY.-The whole Union
ticket is undoubtedly elected in this county
by about ESQ majority. s.
Los ANGELES CoUNTY.-Banning (Union)
is elected. pToberman (Union) is probably
elected, and Peterson (Democrat) to the As.
sembly. G A#
PLACER CoUNgY.-Returns are received
from all except eleve precincts, giving the
regular ticket a majority of fully FIVE hun
dred.
THERE'S no doubt that sufficient Democratic
members have been elected to either elect a
Democratic. U. s.. Senator in place of Nc
Dougal or to prevent any, election whatever
at the next session. This alone should be
satisfaction enough for one political cam
paign. ~
The counties Of San Francisco, Sacramento
and EtDorado, have been for many years the
Republican strongholds OF. that State. 1t
viii bea strange spectacle to see a Demo
cratic delegation on the Legislative floor
representing San Francisco. We believe
there has not been Democrat from that city
in the Legislature since theyear 1854-eleven
years ago. .sh Fes 6Lss s1ssysA
This election shows that the power Of the
Loyal League is broken. Once the pronun-
ciamento of the League was in fact the law
of theland. Now its orders are despised by
its own members, its nominations derided,
and its members scattered among all factions
and parties, and warning Unfortunately
upon former friends and foes. The Democra-
cy went out ofpolitical power with the sound
Of opening war. With the restoration of
peace it will everywhere speedily reoccupy
its former places Within anotherto four years
the old Democratic banner will again float
from the flag staff Of the White House, and
from the lofty cupalos of the National Capt.
