Republican VICTORY in California.

The Republican majority in CalIfor-
MIA not only held out well at the first
reported figures, but mounted up
with every later dispatch till it is
more than doubled. The majority in
San Francisco alone is between two
thousand and three thousand, while
the State rolls up the unprecedented
Republican majority of at least six
thousand. This is a Republican gain
of fourteen thousand since 1869, when
the Democrats carried the State by
eight thousand and sixty-one votes.
The Democratic defeat is a rout. The
State Legislature is Republican,
which secures the return of a Repub-
lican to the United States Senate in
the place of Senator Cole whose term
expires March 4, 1873. The Republi-
cans also gain one Congressman.
making the delegation stand two Re-
publicans to one Democrat. The gain
is in the Third District, in which the
Democratic majority was only one

Congressional election. Since 1860

Fevenhundred majority over Douglass,
his highest competitor, the Presided
