The California Elections.

So In California, Governor, three Con
Sfessmen and members of the State Leg
islature, were elected last week. Booth,
the Republican candidate for Goverern
or, is elected by about 5000 majority,
and the entire State ticket is carried by
the Republicans. This result is sur
prisiag &c both parties, as the Demo
crats we're as confident of success as the
Republicans, had all along been fearful
of defeat. The reverse may, however,
prove, fortunate to the party sustaining
it, as il may serve as warming and
stimplapt ip conducting future cam
paigps--7a warning to the Democrats not
tobe over-eonfdent, and stimulant to
pnt forth all their energies at succeed
ing elections. 1t may be safe to predict

The Democrats were ever "confdont of

'hYoa and your party did all the brag-

ed for victory. But California was
not the only place you were confident
of success. In Maine you were certain
to- carry the Democratic ticket-vide
your own back files,-but you were bea-
ten there also. How amusing it is to
see our Democratic brethren counting
up their victories, in prospective, and
after .hny, are defeated, to notice the

their readers. But we don't brag. We
take things as they conc, FOR better or

bail There is every probability of tho
President proclaiming Martial Law in
the counties of York and Spartanburg
in this State. AS much as every good

The Demise of tho Charleston Re-
publican.

The Charleston Daily Republican, is
Igone. So often read, even by admiring
Democrats, and praised for its virtues,
Its voice will greet us no more 1t was
/ welcome visitor TO our sanctum, and
no regret exceedingly its suspension.
MIR. Myron Fox, its able and honest
editor, says that for its death Gov. Scott
is wholly responsible. We shouldn't
wonder. He is the man above all 9TH
ers who strives to affect virtuous in
dignation at anything that has n show
of extravaganza when he--Goy. r. X.
Scott-has already sucked this people
dry. And now because the Daily
Republican wouldn't smoothe it over for
him, he sends forth the mandate that it
must die. Oh miserable betrayal of
the peoples confidence | On uubiush-
ing rccreant and migrate But let us
not express the indignation, which burns
in our breast to-day. In future issue
we will tell something about those print-
ing accounts. We have traced out the
history of several, and VIC propose to let
the people know after while how
payment has been refused at the Treas
ury, until the claim was bought up by
Scott and Parker's agents. 1t was
sad day for South Crrolina when these
miserable wretches got possession Of her
high places. We'll might the goddess
Of liberty and virtue vicl her head in
sorrow and sadness ut such an unscemly
desecration of the fair name of Carolina
Yes! well might her people pray for
even the intervention of some mfl1,ol
power to rid them of these lcecEes Men
of Carolina, do you, can you believe
these wretchcs when they say that they
are honest? Whence came the source
of their wealth? They were almost
paupers before they disgraced our poor
old mother. Now they ride in fine car
riages, and support fast women. Oh.
God ! oil God!!
But VIC will stop with this, lest VIC bc-
come too indignant. We say to you,
Republicans, wherever this paper is read
(and we believe every Republican of any
consequence in the State roads it) to
watch in the future for these fellows.
About the only honest ones connected
with the State Administration arc tho
Attorney General, Lieutenant Gov erner
a. j. Ransier and the Secretary of
State. Sec that these are cared for in
the future, but for the sake of common
decency Leave the other scoundrels out.
See some Of them as they ride about on
the cars. At every Station they pass they
must get IN the hindmost platform to
show themselves. Poor wretches. Per.
haps they think the people will look
upon them as small sized gods, but they
are mistaken. a dog costumcd in mans
clothing would attract more rirtuous adj
miration.
But as we have said, VIC must stop
with this Before long wc will com
mencc publishing series Of articles
now in course Of prcparation-about the
corInption at the State Capital. We
will show up several things, because we
have been assisted by several leading
Republicans who are opposed to indc-
cency.
We hope our contemporary of the
Jnton will be able to maintain his posi-
tion. He is our main stay now, and if
he is forced to the wall, like our friend
Fox has bccn, we say God help us.

sembled. But little hustle was heard
in ono corner ofth room, and presently
Thompson III. Cooke, Esq, was recog.
nized by tho Chair. What he wanted,
we don't know We were Secretary,
and although we tried to take down his
speech, to-day in looking over it, We
failed to sift anything out of it, lest it
be tho fact, us it was told to us, that
that gentleman wanted to be Mayor Of
Orangeburg.
We arc sorry we can't say anything
more about his speech. We would like
to do him justice. But hold, thought
strikes us. 1t will be remembered that
|Mr. Thompson III. Cooke objected to the
ticket, as reported By the Committee, be-
Icause there was no cOored man upon it.

name was placed upon tho ticket. Well,
this seemed to satisfy, even Mr.. Cooke
for the present. Any how, al voted for
it's ratification. But the next day.
rumor was rife about the streets that
another meeting was called, and that IL
ticket was out which would be submit
ted to said meeting for ratification. The
ticket was headed by Mr.. Thompson II
Cooke for Mayor. A. soon MS the in
tclligcnca reached the editor uf this pa
per, he and his friends made arrange
mcnts to visit the meeting. When night
came, sure enough, the pooplc--or n ror-
tion of those that make up Orargcburg
were assembled in tho school house
The meeting was called to order, By
motion from the friends of the ticket
elect, for Major knowlton to take the
Chair. Immediately Mr.. Thompson II
Cooke moved that the meetn. 30 into
nomination for Mayor and Aldermen.
We would remark by way Of parcnthcsis
oh consistency, &c. .-Mcssrs ilcy-
crs, Bolivcr and Sturgeon opposed the
motion, explained the necessity of hav-
ing good Council to the meeting. and

but ra'!fcd the QUO put forth at the
Engine Hall.
The election came Off OH Tncsla
Hast, but rs there was no opposition the
full voting strength of Orangcburc was
not brought out. The only remarkable
thing that occurred at the polls was the
scratching of Il oolovol mans name from
the ticket, voted by man who, in the
Engine Hall, worked to have one placed
in nomination.
But despite all these Inconsistencies.
Captain +. ii w. Briggmann is eloc',d
Mayor, and Messrs f. j. Oliveros. Geo.
Boliver, William Willcnck and .abram
Martin Alderman.
These gentlemen arc worthy citizans,
and will work steadily for the advancement
of tic pioI Ier.ty of OranScburg Eut
as We intend to speak OF the election
hereafter, VIC will close this chapter by
congra.ulating the citizens of Orange
burg upon having such worthy ticket
elected. We also extend Our sympa.

and couldn't get it.
