According to all accounts, the Legislative ball, at Tucson, on the evening of the 10th instant, was pleasant affair. Oft, our cor J. T Alsap, says;
 It was well gotten mp, well attended, and everything was as it should be. The ladies were pretty and well dressed, the gentlemen were pleasant and generous, the management was excellent, the supper was fine, the drink ing was magnificent, the music was splendid and the dancing was delicious. Every way, it reflected honor upon the town, its citizens and the managers, and afforded great pleasure to the invited guests.
 We have the Arisoaiaa, of the l4th, but, strange to say, it contains not line of Legis- latiye proceedings. From it we gican the following items:
 The stench in some of the lower streets suggests an increase in the smel, crop.

SAN FakNclsco, Nov. 9, 1868. DEAR MINrR: Your exchanges have al- ready given you the result of the Presidential election. The foregoue conclusion oC the last year has been reached. General Grant will occupy 'he White House for the next four years. and let us all heartily ac1uieecc in the result; "l lct us have peace" Gladly would we acquiescc in the result, coud we but see disposition on the part of tue party that elected General Grant to establish peace and brothorly love among tuc people, and until they show such disposition. Democrats cannot acquie.ce in the result l-Eu. MINER.
 The election in California wa, very closely contested I, is now almost n certainty that Grant has carried the State; although Il will require the official count ;o decide conclu' -iyeiy. X very large amount c! money "as bet upon the election, and, consequently, many people are on the anxious bench. At the Cosmopolitan Hotel, alone, S!j0,0Oo are deposited. and the entire amount bet through out the State. on Calfornia's electoral vote, cannot be less than million of dollars. sam Grammar put up $i00Oo, and other, have bet largely. The worst feature of the matter is that many poor men bet all they had, and will come out without a dollar, There seem ed to be a perfect mania for HsLing money on ] tLc result.
 Nevada has gone for Grant. In Oregon, ! the vote Is very close.

The peopc--whi,es and ncgrocs--oi this immense country have again dchasel themselves by falling down and worshipping at the shrine of the great bondho,ding, green hack calf of Eaiicalism, and should the Pres idont elect lend Iii. aid to the Radical leaders we may bid goodbye to liberty in America. The poor. down tsoddon south will be ground into impoverished atoms, Fanaticism, Bigotry and a Black Despotism will be enthroned in the land. and anarchy will take tho place of law. The States have spoken. the verdict Is recorded. and we must abide by it.
