The Census and Changes in CaIifor-

The Sacramento California; Union
says.
1.-The United States census returns
have been so far ascertained by the
United States Marshal as to show close
approximation to $4,000 as the total
population of the State; also, a close
approximation to 100000 as the popula-
ton of San Francisco; also, that there
has been a very heavy per cent. of in
crease in the agricultural counties, and
heavy decline in the mining ones
These changes in the movement of our
population since 1860 when the present
basis of county representation was fixed
by law, are excepted by large ndmber
Of the newspapers of the State as suffi-
cient ground for calling special session
of the Legislature to reform and read
just legislative representation.
In 1860 the census gave California
lin round number) $4,000 inhabitants,
all classes told San Francisco had
sc, 500, or q fraction over one-seventh of
the whole. In house of eighty repre-
sentatives twelve were appointed to her.
The agricultural counties, including Sac
ramento and Yuba, were allowed thirty
nine, and the mining counties, including
Butte and klamath mot wholly mining),
were given twenty-nine. If San Fran
cisco has now 10000 out of $50, 900, she
should be apportioned members Of the
house as one is to two and two-thirds; or
the product of eighty divided by three
and one-third. This is as nearly as can
be figured, twenty-five representatives,
with San Mateo added. She would secure
ten more members than under the old
apportionment law The whole loss land
more) would fall upon the mining coun-
ties, since the agricultural ones have in
creased in population enough to entitle
them to additional representatives. 1t
is likely that an apportionment now
would cut down the representatives of
the mining counties from twenty-nine to
about thirteen or fourteen, perhaps less.
Such counties as Calaveras Amador and
Tuolumne would not get over one mem
Der each, Placer and Nevada two each,
and so on.

From the New York Sun, November 81
For several weeks past there has been
an active business done in Wall street
BY the agents of the San Francisco Mer-
camille Library Associations grand lot
terry, and many hundreds Of the tickets
we're taken by sangnine brokers. The
German element in Wall street, which is
intimately connected with the financial
circles of San Francisco, were particu-
larly heavy buyers, some firms taking
City or one hundred tickets at five dollars
each. Among others who thus interested
themselves in the literary improvement
Of the great city of the Pacific coast was
Mr.. WOrmser, of the eminent mercantile
firm of William Meyer a Co, Of New
York and San Francisco. This gentle
man purchased one hundred Of the tick
cts for distribution among his friends,
reserying twenty for himself, and selling
the rest Among the friends who were
TO have received tic kets from this
lot was Mr.. Theodore Hellman, Of the
New Orleans firm Of J, and W. Seligman
4 Co, but as he was absent from this
city when Mr.. Wormser made his distrl-
button, he failed to procure the ticket
intended for him. Mr.. 4. II. Biederman,
another prominent German banker,
whose Office is in Exchange place, or as
it is better known, The Frankfort
Bourse," received twenty Of Mr.. Worm
sers tickets, and 10 him Mr.. Hellman
applied. Mr.. Briederman consented to
part with one Of the tickets, and with the
excessive generosity which characterized
him, picked out ticket No l53 OF. which
drew the 800, 900 gold prize. The nine
teen tickets retained by Mr.. Briederman
drew one prize amounting 20 500, so
that his investment paid him profit Of s..
This Is one Of the stories told yester-
day about the luekiest man; but there is
still another which was extensively cir
culated, especially in the Gold room.
From this 1t appears that the lucky
ticket was owned BY Mr.. Mendel,of Marx
4 Co. who sold it 10 Mr.. Hellman for
five dollars, expressing himself glad TO
yet back his money. He didn't feel half
30 glad yesterday, when he discovered
that he had sold 500, 600 gold for a five
dollar greepback lie said he never
cane so near making bis fortune before,
and never expects 10 again. All his
friends condoled with him yesterday and
there was talk Of passing resolution Of
coincidence in the Gold room, where Mr..
Mcndel is extremely popular.

THE ELECTION RETURNS.

The returns from yesterdays election,
so far as ascertained, will be found in to-
DAYS LEDGER. Although not complete
they are sufficient to show that the Dem
ocratic party is triumphant everywhere.
We have especially in this part OF the
State of Tennessee given to RadicalIsm
its death-blow, that must consign 1t to
grave so deep that no future resurrection
horn can awake it again. 1t was not,
however, struggle between Radicalism
and Democracy in this section, but arace
between the two wings Of the Radical
marty as to which should beat the other.
We cannot at this hour state precisely
which il was that got beat the worst, and
only know that they were both badly
beaten in the general wind-up. How
pleasant a thing it is for brothers to
dwell together in unity. Radiealism is the
exception to the rule. These fellows
can hash each other as much as they
please; and, for once in our lives, we for
bear taking sides in dog fight. From
indications it would seem Smith was on
TOP of Shaw, and Vaughan laying over
them both, and, no doubt, Vaughan
will be elected to Congress by an over
whel.aing majority. We have reason to
feel proud of the large Democratic vote
east in the city on yesterday-tbe lar
cest ever given on any ticket. There
was little noise and no disturbance on
the part of any, only the awakening
tramp Of those who, in solid phalanx,
marched to the polls with the Democratic
ticket in their hands and the banner OF
the party over their heads, waving def
ance 10 ;he dusky hordes of Radicalism.
We met them on some Of their former
fields of victory, and forced them to yield
TO superior numbers and to truth, which,
after all, is the strongest agency in this
world. The cup Of our JOY is full when,
in the s5ort space Of few years, We have
seen with our eyes the triumph Of those
principles for which we have so arduously
struggled. Teanes.ee is now free for the
next three years, and her people blessed
with rulers Of their own choosing.
The farmer may nov plant and gather
his crop in security, without the fear Of
having his hard earnings taken from him
and put in the pockets Of earpet-bag ad-
venturers who would call it taxation, but
more properly might be said to be rob
berry. The mechanic and artisan may
pursue their calling with the assurance
that they may enjoy in peace and seeu-
rity the reward of their labor. The very
soil Of our State may laugh with plenty,
when It IS known that the blightiug foot
Of Radicalism shall no longer curse ii
with a desolation that has ever attended
its path. The departments Of trade may
expect relief from the milestone that has
SO long been worn. which has especially
crippled the onward progress Of our
young and rising city. Money will Gov
in apace with the future that promises 90
bright and want and penury will be un
heard Of in our midst We have cause
to congratulate ourselves on the glorious
Democratic success Of yesterday re
