Better.
The news from California, like the old
lady's bacon, grows better and better.
Each successive telegram increases the ma
jority, and makes the defeat of the enemy
more overwhelming.
With their anxiety for future success and
future dominion, the Abolition leaders of
California, where there is large Chinese
population which they can control, resolv-
ed in favor of Negro and Chinese voting.
Upon this issue the battle was mainly
fought, and the result was an overwhelm-
ing defeat of those who would thus cheap
en- the right Of suffrage, and victory for
those who believe this is a white mans
Government and that it should be govern
ed by white men. .e-.l <,,art-
A despatch from the Hon. THOMAS J..
HENLEY, of California, formerly leading
member of Congress from Indiana, to Pres
ident johnson, says: "a
"We have carried this State by ten thou
sand, electing our whole ticket-two MEM
bers of Congress and majority of the Leg
islature. This is surely a triumph of the
policy ofyour administration, condemning
distinctly Congressional reconstruction
The following are the Press dispatches !:
"SAN Francisco, September 6.-The
Democrats carried the State, Legislative,
and municipal ticket of San Francisco by
overwhelming majorities. The Union par
ty elected only a minority, such as super
visor and school directors. Returns from
the interior continue TO swell Haight's ma
iority, which may reach eight thousand
The entire Union State ticket is defeated,
andit is doubtful if one Union Congress
man Is elected. -
-ssIt has astonished both parties. and Moth
ing worse was expected by the Union men
than the defeat of Gorham and two or three
others on the State ticket. ,-s-fs, .yHfr.
THE MILK IN THE CoooANUT ACCOUNTED FOR.
THE returns are not nearly full, but it is
believed that large number of Union
voters absented themselves from the polls.
-f+iar.s. y THE LEGISLATURE. u .-.-,.
The Democrats will have majority in
the State Assembly. As fourteen hold-over
Senators out of twenty are Union, the Rad
icals, may hold Union majority in the
Senate, but the election of Republican
Senator now is impossible. RIlu-
SPEECH FROM HAIGHT. s.ea'-
Mr.. Haight addressed a meeting last
night, claiming the election as protest
against the corrupt extravagance, the op-
position to Chinese, and the negro suffrage
reconstruction policy of Congress.
The Union papers urge renewed efforts
to carry the October election. ,:.4
SECOND OVERWHELMINGLY MAJORITY
SEVEN THOUSAND.
SAN Francisco, September 6.-The ma
jorities reported in twenty-seven counties
show Haight seven thousand ahead. The
counties to hear from will generally give
Democratic majOrities.
These latter telegrams give HAIGHT
some seven thousand majority in twenty
seven 5counties,-the counties to hear from
generally give Democratic majorities.-
This will, we should think, swell the ma
jority to ten thousand. In round numbers,
two years since. the Republican majority
was 10000. In Ohio, the same year, on the
vote for Governor, the Radical majority
was fraction less than 10000, out of 417,-
$50 votes given. The highest vote ever
given in California was los, ,l62-but little
over one-fourth ofthe vote of Ohio. A SINH
/ r change in Ohio, to that of California, tie
issues being very similar, would beat the
Negro Suffrage State Ticket over ONE
HUNDRED THOUSAND VOTES. Is
there any good reason why it should nj t
be done?
