CALIFORNIA ELECTION-DEMOC
IC VICTORY.

/
AgreeabIy to his. promise Hill Beachey has
enabled us to putbefore our readers, this morn
ing, the news of Che California election. The
/ returns given below were telegraphed to Hill
Beachey on the 18th from San Francisco to Star
City, from where, by relays of fast horses and
good riders, it was sent to Silver City in 26
hours. thence to Boise City, and from there
Phil. Pencil, the fast rider, brought it to Idaho
CITY in 3 hours and 90 minutes. The full feat
NAV. be stated as follows: From the time that
Hill Beachey received the dispatch at Star
City to the moment it was placed in our hands
in this city, exactly 80 hours and 90 minutes
elapsed not so hours as we were led, er-
roneously, to state it in our Extra of Satur-
day-and this, too, after eight hours of deten-
ton by accidents on the way. Great praise
! is due to Fill Beachey for arranging and per-
fecting the means by which this great feat has
been accomplished. Praise is also due to Sam.
Kelley and Henry Greathouse, for their part
in the feat, in dlspatching the news from Sill
yer City to Idaho City We are especially in
debted to Beachey for early posting us in re-
gard to his project, and for his faithful perform
ance of his promise against all obstacles. We
also express our thanks to Messrs. Kelley and
Greathouse; and to Phil Pencil, who brought
the news to our Office, we are particularly
thankful. He handsomely accomplished his
allotted task in the grand work

yesterday, as Beachey received and forwarded
the dispatch:
SAN Francisco, Sept. s, 1867.
TO BEAcHEY: The official returns have
not yet been made of the election in this city ::
| it is therefore impossible to give accurate fig
ufes of the result.
Quite enough is known, however, to show
that Haight will have an overwhelming major
| ity in his favor. The reports at present give
the number at 1850 in this city alone and the
result will doubtless be beyond that figure.
The Democrats themselves are surprised at
/ the result being so far beyond their most SAN
guine expectations. There is no doubt but the
whole Democratic ticket is elected.
The Democrats claim the election of two
congressman and johnson.
The returns of the polls are coming in slow
! number have arrived, which in most instances
give majority for Haight.
In Sacramento county the vote for members
of the Legislature and county officers run very
close and both parties claim the victory.
| It was known by actual returns given from
different parts of the state that Haight, contra
nv to expectations had considerable majority,
say about 300 During to-day other returns
have come in giving still larger majorities
| Santa Clara county gives Haight 1850. and
Gorham 500 The only precincts wanting to
complete the returns are Mountain View
Burnett and Union, and these will reduce
Haight's majority.
In Monterey county Haight's majority is 157.
| Contra Costa county gives Gorham liz ma
iority San Mateo gives 55 for Gorham.
The entire Union ticket elected in San Joa-
quin county, Gorham 10 majority.
Shasta county gives Haight $50 majority.
The whole Democratic ticket is elected.
TuIare county will give Haight majority
of nearly 800, and the entire Democratic tick
ct is elected.
In Yuba county the contest is very close and
Haight viii probably have a small majority,
but the Union county ticket will probably be
successful.
In Nevada county, as far as known, the con-
test is close Nevada City gives 1856 majority
for Gorham, Grass Valley 339 for Haight
til known that Haight has carried Tuol-
umne county
Sonoma county probably elects the entire
Democratic ticket. Healdsburg and Santa
Rosa give Haight 800 majority
Los Angeles gives Haight $50 majority.
In Solano the Union State and county tickets
have 200 majority.
Complete returns from almost every county
is needed to give definite results, but from all
that is known, and all the indications, Haight's
election is beyond doubt. His majority will be
large both in this city and in the State.
A friend in Placeryille, sends us the following:
