The Result IN THE SrArE.-From
the tenor of the returns thus far received
there is little reason to doubt the election
of Newton Booth and the entire Republi-
can State ticket by handsome maJGrlties'
A displtch to John Martin Esq. Of Wea-
vile claims also the election of the entire
Congressional delegation Such a result
has been conf lently anticipated by the Re-
pubicans since the two State tickets were
nl,eed in nomination, and while all must
rejoice that Republican principles have
trumphed in the final conrest on Wednes-
day. the result has taken no well informed
Republican by surprise. 1t is impossible
as vet to say what the value of the victory
will be to us-but we should judge it to be
more than probable that it will include
such IN jority in the Legislature as will
insure the election OF a United States SEN
ator IN the place of Cornelius Cole In the
State Senate, the Democrats have sixteen
cf the twenty hold-over members, and
nothing short of political miracle, can
give Republican majority in that body at
the present time, as it would require the
election of Republican Senators 10 four
fi!ths of the Senatorial Districts to effect
that result

MINING IN TRINITY.-We were in
Trinity county on election day, and gath
cred the following mining items, which are
interesting from the fact that mining in
the manner described has been but little
followed in this section.
The claims Of james Dixon & Co.. are
on buttons Greek, about four or five miles
below Douglas City. The hill rises very
abruptly, and the bank deepens rapidly in
gong back from the Grim" Last year
they worked with hydraulics having a
pressure of about 200 feet, but even with
this great over the bank could be cut
but slowly. The ground is rich aud they
now propose to use pow Ter to bring the
bank down. Tunnels have been run, and
the blast consisting of 152 kegs of powder
will be fred next Thursday afternoon
he claim owners are all hard working,
energetic men, and We ho,e the new way
in which they propose to tear down the
rocky bank will prove to be success.
Above Douglas City half mile Messrs.
Marshall, Reed Il Co., are owners of claims.
in large fat some $50 feet above the
river. The claim has been work ed sue
cessfully since 1864, and thcy are now SO
far back on the fat that they ran out of
fall" Nearly year ago they surveyed
and egan tunnel through the mountain
from Trinity river. The length of the
proposed tunnel is over 800 feet, and it
will come in under the pay dirt on the bed
rock about fifty feet. The tunnel is now
about half completed, and they are driving
steadily ahead working night and day
a fourth interest in the claim was sold
few days since for $1,000.

LLosE UP THE RANKs.-Republicans,
remember that the victory will be but half
won unless the remainder Of the Democrat
ic State ticket is defeated in October. 1t

final victory.

The SCHOOL Book SwINDLE. i'm
portant object of this campaign says the
Oak and News, is to get rid of Parson
Fitzgerald aud obtain an nlightened and
conscientious Superintendent of Public In
struction. Many comp aints hive been
made of late of the heavy tax laid upon
parents in the continual requisition for new
books for pupils attending the public
schools, but the local Board, through the
influence OF Parson Fitzgerald, who pro-
cured the passage of the law so author.z-
ing it, prescribes the classes and kinds of
books that shall be used
A citizen of San Francisco well posted
on such matters estimates the tax expenses
entailed upon the people of this State BY
these changes at $3.50, 600; and for San
Francisco alone $4,000 Among the
school books thrown out were Wilson's
Readers, published by the Harpers, and
Guvot's Biographies while among the
books introduced were some which were
said to have been used in the schools in
1851. or twenty year ago. The School
Board of San Francisco were compelled
to accept what they could not elp. The
book publishers took very prominent
part in throwing the old series out and in
Producing such books as the were IN eres-
ted in publishing. The agents dispensed
hospitality freely, and soae of them finally
had things their own way. The people
now have an opportunity to displace that
extravagant, and as We believe, corrupt
Superintendent, and every parent who is
not disposed to be robbed in the manner
described, should vote against Fitzgerald
with all bis might.

majority
Very little excitement is manifested about town
at thts hour. The newspaper offices, which alone
or all places OF public resort have been thrOnged
with people during the evening" are now almost de-

hotels as dark as Erebus. There are no assembages
on the corners OF the streets, and little except the
hurrying to and fro OF newspaper men to evince

be thankful that the agOnies Of political campaign
are ended and to settle down quietly into state OF
