SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 4, 1873.

ticket for members of both branches OF the Legis-
ature, and also on most Of their municipal candi-
dates
For Mayor and Chief OF Police the contest Is very
| close, but the railroad issue did not enter into
that part OF the canvass. The democrats claim to
have chosen both these officers. The result, how
| ever, Is in doubt.
The total vote Is found to be &C. 210, much larger
| than was anticipated.
Yesterday afternoon Carr, the manager OF the
campaign on behalf OF the railroad ticket, issued
| orders to his cohorts to abandon the republican
| legislative ticket and go in body for the demo-
| cratic. His followers did So but without avail.
| Returns from the interior OF the State come in
| very slowly, and it Is impossible to make correct
/ estimates Of results as yet. In sacramento City,
where the railroad shops are located, 1900 votes
| were cast The railroad leaders claim majority
OF 800 or 400 This, the independents say, will be
| largely overcome in the county, and 80 ensure
decided victory over the railroad. In nearly every
| town heard from thus far the Independent anti
| railroad ticket Is ahead.
| only 5000 votes OF this city were counted up
| to noon, and the anti-monopOy ticket was
| ahead OF both the others.
A despatch from Governor Booth at Sacramento
gives 1000 majority against the railroad ticket in
the city-the stronghold Of the company, which has
| over one thousand employees there. Alameda has
| gone antl-railrOad Stockton gives 500 independ-
ent majority. Yolo county and the city Of Benecia
| have gone independent The Indications are
| certain OF grand victory throughout the State
| over the railroad ticket. Twenty four counties
thus far heard from give anti-railroad majorities
| and four republican.
Full returns from Marysvie City give republi-
| can majority OF 40 over the independent ticket.
| Total vote oil the city, sb7.
| 1t Is impossible to form any estimate of the ma
ority of the ant.monopoly ticket in this city. The
friends of Chief Of Police CT owley believe he Is
defeated.
An Exciting Campaign In the Code N
State.
The election in California being the first election
| this fall an unusual amount OF interest has natu-
| rally attached to the result. The State was for
! many years democratic, but during the war and
up to 1867 it continued republican, when in that
year the democracy elected II. Ii. Haight Governor,
and in 1868 Eugene Casserly was chosen United
| States Senator. California went Tor Grant last
year, but many occurrences that took place, both
OF local and national character, since then helped
to create strong hopes among the democracy that
! they would carry their candidates this time into
office. An entire Assembly and half the members
OF the Senate were elected yesterday and sue
cessor to Mr.. Cassery, whose term expires In 1875,
| Is to be chosen next December, and as there are
many candidates, including Mr.. Casserly himself,
for the position, political feeling has high dur
| ing the past few months in the Golden
State. But the feeling relative to Sen
atorial matters was trning In comparison
to the excitement aroused by the active
| interference Of Ex-Governor Leland Stanford,
! representing the Central Pacific Railroad, In the
| proceedings OF the several conventions Of both
| parties, which, 1t was charged, he manipulated en-
tirely in the interest OF the powerful organization
he controls. The result was IN san Francisco, that
| the democratic and republican conventions split in
| two and there were two sets OF candidates for
| legislative Offices presented by each party-four In
ALL In other counties similar divisions took place.
DEFEAT OF THE ADMINISTRATIONS.
| The dispatches which we publish show that the
administration party has been badly defeated in
San Francisco, which contains aoOut one third OF
the population OF California. The result in the
interior Is still in doubt. The legislative candl-
dates elected were nominated direct opposition
to those put forward by the regular republican
| Convention, and were opposed by senator Sargent
| and the incumbents of the federal Offices. San
Francisco returns twelve members OF Assembly
and four Senators, but two OF the latter hold
over. The successful ticket on Tuesday is CON-
posed OF partly democrats and partly republicans.
| Ten OF the fourteen chosen are known 10 be LII
favor oil the reelection OF Mr.. Casserly. The in
terest Of the election concentrated in the formid
able enOrts Oi central PACING Railroad 0Otaln

| states Senator IN It's own interests. H. Hill has
| designs on Goat Island and other valuable prop
erty ana utterly denies any right OF the state to
| interfere in It's business
THE CENTRAL PACIFIC MONOPOLY.
To understand the feeling OF the people 1t is only
necessary to state what pretenslons they contend
against In fact, the Central Pacific Railroad holds
control the political and business interests OF
| California. After the road was completed the
company, with the aid OF It's surplus funds, began

brace all the smaller roads In tue state, until now
farmers, merchants and travellers and oil who de-
pend on railroad facilities are completely at It's
mercy Its patronage Is extensive, and 1t can

clary. Haniord declares that the State has no
holding its franchises from the general govern
ment. The Central Pacific road passes over the
public highway to convey United States mails aud
and Is above all State authorities.
