WHEREAS, The Governor of the State OF
Louisiana elected by voice of the people at
the last election in said State, has been, by
the usurpation of an unjust federal Judge,
sustained by federal bayonets under the
orders of the President of the United States,
disreg garded, and a usurper and pretender
placed to rule over the people as Governor
of said State; therefof5 be it
Reso'red That the overthrow of the gov
ernment elected by the people of Louisi-
ana and the setting up of bayonet gov
eminent over them is without foundation
in law and is a hagrant violation of the
rights OF the people OF said State, and is as
dan gerOus for the destruction OF the rights
of the people OF the other States as contrary
to the genius OF our government, State and
federal.
The two-thirds rule in the nomination of
candidates was adopted by 74l to LA votes.

The Election in San Francisco.
SAN FRANCISCO, September 1.-The count
of the vote in this city cannot be completed
before Friday night or Saturday morning.
Enough is known to assure a complete VIC
tory tor the peoples anti-Central Pacific
railroad monopoly ticket for members of
both branches of the Legislature, and also
of most of the municipal candidates. -
The contest for mayor and chief of police
is very close, but the railroad issue did not
enter into that part of the canvass. The
Democrats claim to have chosen both of
these officers. The result, however, is in
doubt. The returns from the interior of the
State come in very slowly and it is impOs-
slble to make correct estimates of the re-
suits as yet.
In Sacramento City, where the railroad
shops are located. 1000 votes were cast, and
the railroad leaders claim a majority of 300
Or 400. This, the Independents say, will be
largely overcome in the country, and so in
sure decided victory over the railroad.
In nearly every town heard from thus far
the independent anti-railroad ticket is
ahead.
Only five thousand votes of this city were
up to noon and the ant-w onopoly
ticket was ahead of both the others. dis
patch from Governor Booth at Sacramento
gives ten thousand majority against the
rail- road ticket in the city, and the strong
hold of the company, which has over one
thousand employees there Alameda has
gone antimonopoly. Stockton gives 500
for the independents. Yolo
county and the city of Benicia have gone
The indications are certain of grand
victory throughout the State over the rail-
road ticket. Twenty-four counties thus far
heard from give anti-majo ajorities, and four
give Republican majorities.
The full returns from Marvsville city
give Republican majority of 10 over the
ticket.
The friends of Chief of Police Crowley
believe ne is defeated in this city.
