THE TOTAL o

The total vote cast at the recent alec
ton is already aseertained to have been
$500, 900, of which General Grant
has over 100000. In 1860 the total
vote was 1850, 1913, an increase in eight
years Of over one million. A part of
this increase, however, must be given
to the admission Of negro votes in eight
Southern States, which pollsd for
Grant 4ls OIL, and for Seymour 435, Oss
votes, . majority Of ls,o26 for ssy-
mour. It appears that more than q
half OF the Southern votes for Grant
was cast by colorsd persons, and a small
part of the vote for Seymour can be ae-
credited to the same race, so that fully
ESQ., 200 Of the increase is from this
cause. In 1860 South Carolina did not
cast any popular vote at all, but Florida
did, while it now chooses electors BY
Legislature, AZ South Carolina did then.
Then, again, the vote Of Mississippi,
Texas and Virginia was included in the
aggregate for 1860, which was not the
case this year, as they had no vote. In
1860, 10000 votes were added to the
aggregate by these Ststes-full as much
as should be deducted for the colorsd
vote, and the vote Of South Car
olina instead Of Florida so that the
number Of white persons actually
voting in the States now represented
IL more than one million larger than 1t
was in 1860. In 1864 the twenty-five
States which voted gave an aggregate
vote of 40, "a, 7ss; tho same States now
give 1886, 1928, al increase of over 800, 900
in four years | This fact alone indicates
the enormous rapidity Of growth in
these States, for this increase represents
an addition to their population Of more
than four and a half millions.
The majority Of electoral votes and
the majority Of the popular vote in the
eight reconstructed States have been
cast against the Republican party. This
fact is a sufficient reply to the charge
that these States were reconstructed in
order to secure their votes. Tho Re-
publican party has relied from the 6rst
upon the solid phalsnx of loyal North
ern States by which Abraham Lincoln
was elected and the Government sus-
tanned through a long war. It has
granted restoration to other States
without confidence that they would at
this tims strengthen tho Republican
party, but in the belief that the method
Of restoration adopted would in the end
prove beneficial to the State and the
Union. Under the disturbing influence
of Mr.. Johnssn's administration, these
results have not yet been fully realized,
but We have every reason to believe
they will come with Grant and Peace.

STATE RAlLRoADs.-The railroad lines
now in actual operation within Califor-
mia are thus computed by the Sacrs-
mento Bee:
Central Pacific, from Sacramento to
State line, 1873 miles; San Francisco
and San Jose, so; California Pacific,
from Vallejo to Sacramento, so; Vallejo
junction to Calistogs, via Napa, 361 !;
Sacramento Valley to Single Springs,
As; Central and Y aba, from Folsom to
Marysville, 40; Marysyille to Oroyills,
30; Alameda and Oakland, 20; Petalu-
ma and Rudsill's Landing, 3. Total
number of miles, 4223. Besides the
railroads enumerated, there is, says the
Bulletin, one six miles long in Contra
Costa County, which 10 used exclusively
to transport coal from the Mount Disblo
mines to water navigation. Ten miles
of road are graded from Petaluma
towards Santa Rosa, and will probably
be laid by spring, and the Southern Pa
cific road is graded and partially met
aled from San Jose to Gilroy, a distance
Of 80 miles. Grading will soon begin
on the extension Of the California Pa
cifc to Marysville, 10 miles and the
railway from Los Angeles to Whining
ton is we'll advanced. The grading on
the Western Pacific, from Sacramento
to Oakland, is under way, and the
track will be laid in 1869. 1t is tolera-
bly, certain that within twelve months
there will be at least $50 miles more Of
railroad operating in California.

named Samuel Walter Booth, while
standing on the sidewalk on Pacific

was assaulted by two white men with
out provoeation, and so terribly injured
that he will probably not recover One
Of the men struck him with his fist and
the other struck him in the face with a
knife. The weapon entered his right
cheek near the outer corner Of the eye,
and = cash was inflicted extending down
the cheek, chin and neck some six or
eight inches in length. The flesh was
laid open to the bone, and the knife
came near seVering the carotid artery.
A man named Robert johnson was ar
rested by officer Baker, and a charge of
assault with intent to kill was entered
against him. Booth said johnson was
the man who struck him with the knife.
In one ofhis pockets was found q large
sized pocket knife, the blade Of which
was marked with blood. When the in
iursd man was taken to the station
house he bled so profusely thas it was
feared he would bleed to death. DR..
Murphy dressed his wound, after which
he was sent to the County Hospital

THE INDIAN a

The official report of General George
A. Custer gives several interesting par
ticulars Of the attack, on November AZ,
upon the hostile Indians, of which brief
mention has already been made. The
Cheyenne lodges were pitched On the
right bank Of the Washita, in a bend Of
the river, which had to be crossed be-
fore Clusters soldiers could make the
attack. The village Was situated in a
strip of heavy timber, on a high bank,
bounded by the river and ranges Of
hills. Custer divided his command into
four columns Of nearly equal strength,
and directed the attack upon the sleep
ing Indians to be made at daybreak,
from above and below, from the rear
and the front. Notwithstanding the
fact that two of the columns were COM
PEELED to march several miles to reach
their position, three of them made the
attack so nearly simultaneously as to
make it appear like one charge. The
column moving from the left bank
charged down q precipitous hight,
dashed into the deep waters of the
washita, crossed, and Joined in the
battle. After q conflict Of several
hours, the Indians were completely de-
feated, with the loss of lob warriors
(~including Black Kettle) killed, 80
squaws and their children prisoners,
and the capture Of their stores, includ-
ing horses, equipments, guns and am
munition. Of the implements Of war
fare there were captured 2lO axes, l4o
hatchets, 35 revolvers, Al rifles, 636
pounds Of powder, 1850 pounds of lead,
300 pounds Of bullets, 80 bullet-moulds,
besideo bows, arrows, arrow-heads,
spears and shields. Two white chill
dren, held captive by the Indians, we're
recovered but at the time of the attack
o white woman prisoner was murdered,
and at the end of the fight O white boy,
ten years old, had his bowels ripped up
by a squaw. At DON a band Of Kiowas
and Arapahoes, encamped six miles be-
low Black Kettles village, came up to
desperately attempt the rescue Of the
-
Cheyennes, and attacked Custer with
great boldnsss from all sides. This
second battle lasted till 3 o'clock, when
the Indians were beaten off and pur.
sued for q distance Of eight miles.
Clusters supplies being exhausted, hs
was obliged to return to his wagon
train.
