THE CALIFOKNIA ELECTION,


After all the tremendous shouts at the
Copperhead victory in California, it is now
officially ascertained that the Republicans
have majority of TWO VOTES on joint bal
lot, which secures the election OF Republi-
can United States Senator.
The Copperhead candidate for Governor
is elected, there being two Republicans can
didates in the field. At the last general cleo
tion their total vote was 59,647. Haight's
majority this year is 5,655; the Union ma
jority at the preceding election was S,470.
The decrease in the total vote is IA ,05S not
withstanding the registry shows no decrease
in the number entitled to vote. Now, if we
go one step further, We find the total loss in
the vote to have resulted from the dIsahect-
ed Republicans staying at home. AT the
last election the Democracy poled vote in
these counties Of 25,5S4. Haight receives a
vote OF but 24,622, an actual decrease of
062. On the other hand, the total Union
vote at the preceding election, was "a, ,O63 ;
this year it is but 20,957, decrease of 10, :

sELvEs.-On Saturday evening week, n
Convention Of all the Posts of the Grand
Army of the Republic was held in Philade-
phia, and an authoritative exposition set
forth which side the soldiers stand on in the
battle about to be fought. They uttered no
half and half expression of their views !;
they did not tamper or tack and veer. They
gave bugle note which will ring through
the ranks of all our gallant volunteers, and
find response iu the hearts of those who
loyalty fought for that Union again in dan
ger. The following resolution declares
where they can be found:
'Whereas, At the present critical Juno,

EW-A wARNIso.- Forney, in his
FIRST letter from Washington, since his return
home, thus warns the people against the
reasonable machinations of Andrew John
son and his rebel friends aud sympathisers
at Washington:
"The destiny of the Republic has never
been more completely in the hands of Gene
raj Grant than it is at the present moment
If there is any remedy for the new peril,
it is in the hands of the people. They, and
they alone, can apply it. The surest way to
precipitate hostilities, to encourage Andrew
johnson to seize the Government, force the
rebels into Congress, and declare the acts OF
emancipation and reconstruction unconsti'
tutional, is to vote the Copperhead ticket
in the coming elections. You will be told
that this is a mere partisan's appeal to
awaken your fear and to control your votes.
Remember, have snever before deceived
you in grave public emergency. My coun.
.rymen, every honest heart is convulsed
with q terrible anxiety, and / only echo
your own soicitude by these frank words
of warning. Even the Copperbeads, terror
stricken at this bad mans conduct, try to
shake him off, as if to get rid of second
frightful responsibility should their efforts
in supporting his policy ripen into another
bloody harvest. The steps of revolution
are never so rapid as when great, free peo-
pie refuse to be admonished You refused
to be wprned even in this correspondence,
when, six years ago last December, told
you that the rebel foe was arming for your
destruction and it was only when the blow
fell that you awoke to the dread reality. If
you needed proof, not of Andrew Johnson's S
intentions (happily no one doubts them
now, but of the fatal folly of being misled
into opposition to the only party that can
save the Republic, look at the paralysis that
has befallen business all over the land since
he has construed the elections in California
and Maine into an endorsement of his plan
to restore the rebels to power What man
is mad enough to attribute the rise in gold
to the Reconstruction law, when hundreds
of rebel leaders have accepted its terms, and
the manumitted millions of the South, paid
for their labor for the first time, are enrich
ing their former masters, and quietly prcpa
ring for the duties of citizenship! The
crisis is graver than any that has preceded
it. There is not tried soldier of the Re
public who does not see and say that it is
so. Last October you were aroused to fren
zy at the bare intimation of what is now
openly avowed. The notorious Ledger DIES
patch, repudiated then because it was mel
by one mighty outburst of indignation (bu
never formally denied by its author, Andrew
Johnson), is now not only to be acted upon
but acted upon under the sanction of thu
Attorney General, and amid the threats o.
rebel agents."

lB- GEN. KAsE.-Some of the friends of
Gen. Kasc have asked his views in regard
to the bold Act of Assembly providing for
Police force in this and other counties OF
this State" The General says: sit is infa'
nous in its tendencies and tyrannical in its
operations, and can be intended for no other
purpose than the expressing of the foreign
vote, to make them subserve to the will OF
those set over them"
As Mr.. Fiske has been instructed by the
Convention that nominated him to have the
people of this county relieved from the bur-
dens of this act, it would be ten times more
easily accomplished by Mr.. Fiske than Gen
Kase, as the Republicans will have ma
jority in the House and Senate, where Gen
kase's efforts would not be worth a row o.
pins, if he even should be elected.
