CHANGE IT BACK.-If anything were
wanting to convince people of the folly of
holding two elections in one year, we
think the vote polled at the Judicial cleo
ton would furnish it. Here was an cleo
tion, held throughout the State, to fill,
for the long term Of ten years a seat on
the bench of the highest tribunal in the
State, and the successful candidate is
elected by about one fifth Of the voters.
Only in the cities and large country pre-
cincts, was it apparent that an election
was being held-and even in many of
these the vote did not exceed two-thirds
Of the voting population.
In this county two important precincts,
Minersville and Trinity Center failed to
open polls, and no polls were held at four
other precincts. In those where polls
were opened, about a two-thirds vote was
cast, bringing the vote of the county up
to 407, against 7S3 at the general election
in September. This is better showing
than some counties can make. San
Francisco and Sacramento had contests
on local officers which brought out larger
relative vote than would otherwise have
been polled. But in such counties as
had no local interests at issue, the vote
has been less than half. This shows
much greater falling off than usual, and
indicates pretty plainly the people are
completely tired of the farce. The ex-
pense Of the election boards, of bringing in
returns, Of printing and posting notices
ETC., will aggregate in cost to the counties
very near as much as at the election be-
fore.
1t is full time that measures were taken
that will remove the trouble and expense
of the biennial farce known as the judicial
election from the shoulders of the peo-
pie. The plan has been thoroughly tested
and proved failure. 1t is admitted as
such on every hand, and the sooner it is
done away with the better satisfied the
people will be.

10th day of July last. But through the
energy of his friends, his case was taken
to the Supreme Court, and was dispos-
cd of at the last term of said Court, by
its refusal to grant a new trial, and or
dering remitteur to issue forthwith to
the Court below, directing it to fix a day

SAN FRANCISCO LETTER.
tFRoM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT
SAN FRANcIsco. Oct o. 1s79

SAN Francisco, Oct, 81, 1873.
DEAR JOURNAL THE principal event
, Of this week was the sailing of the ship
Three Brothers, the old war steamer
Vanderbilt made over into the largest
sailing vessel afoat, and carrying 1000
tons Of wheat. 1t was a magnificent
sight her sailing down the harbor drawn
by two sturdy tugs. Vessels from all ma
tions dipped their colors, and crews man
ming their yards cheered loud and long
as the levia.han passed them. She went
through the rollers of bay as if they were
mere ripples on lake, and yet they were
so heavy that the water flew all over the
tugs and made them bounce like cookie
I shells. About 200 people were on each
tug and oh how sick many of them were.
One man asked me to help him on board
the Rescue Zone of tugs. Said he never
in his life had seen the ocean or been on
board of anything that foated except the
terryboat between here and Oakland. [
assisted him on board and he thanked
me, but before we got back he felt differ
emily about it. When we'll out over Four
fathom Bank, missed him, hunted for
the poor fellow and found him with
both arms around the rail. He was white
as ghost and looked weak and discour-
aged. The tug rolled awfully. l tapped
him on the shoulder but he didn't look
up-he looked down. How do you like
it as far as we have got?" asked. He
then looked up with most pititul face
and replied, "Oh my God, how far have
we got" Half way OUT" said. "And
got to come back over this trail?" Eyes"
"Then l am dead man ye whoop.
Ah-ah-whoop D. your ocean, d
your tug, d your Three ByotherS-ye
whoop-ah. D. you, my friend Ye
-whoop, ah !" offered him ginger
snap and flask of brandy. That laid
him out. He leaned forward and said,
Whoo-a-whoo-ah " and was like a
dead man. We got him into coil of
cable and never disturbed his reverie till
we got back to land. .,

ACCORDING to the latest accounts from
Europe, the wheat crop in Russia has
this year, in many places, failed alto
gether." The crop in that country is so
short that there is likely to be great suf-
fering in several districts. England, in
consequence is compelled to rely upon
the United States to greater extent than
ever before for supplies of breadstuffs.
This is good news for the grain growers
of California.

NEW ORLEANS, April 15.--The steamboat
Great Western arrived this afternoon, bringing
stirring news from Grant parish The whites
have retaken Colfax and there is not a negro to

selves in the court house and built breastworks
three or four feet high. There were, it is said,
about 400 men arrived, equipped thoroughly.
gathered from the surrounding parishes and
attacked the breastworks, and a brisk fight
was kept up till somewhere near O'Clock.
The breastworks were then stormed and cap
tured, the negroes taking refuge in the court
house, the doors of which were barricaded.
After some further fighting the negroes flung
out flag of truce, and several detachments of
men advanced on it when they were fred on
by the beseged party, Woandng several, one
the bowels, and is feared fatally wounded
They retreated outside of the breastworks as the
only means of dslodging the negroes, the Court
House was set on fire, and they were shot as
they came from the burning building.
1t is reported 80 or 100 negroes were killed,
and none afterwards were to be found for miles
around.
The Captain of the South Western makes the
following statement: We arrived at Colfax on
Sunday evening about s O'Clock, and found the

ported to me 100 negroes had been killed and
many wounded.
One white man was reported killed and two
very seriously wounded, Messrs. Hadnot and
Harris. Mr.. Hadnot was shot through the
bowels and is supposed to be MORALLY wounded.
We brought Harris and sdadnot down from
Colfax to Alexandria. Three or four other
white men were slightly wounded. About 100
negroes escaped, but it is reported the whites
were still pursuing them. All the leaders of
the rio. escrped. The negroes ambuscaded
themselves in the court house and the whites,
finding there was no other mode of attack left
them set fire to the building. The whites
The fight lasted from IL o'clock until nearly
five The whites now are in possession of Col
