The Election.

SAN FRANCISCO Sept. 3.-Returns from the
precincts come in slowly. The counts of the
votes is not yet complete in any ward OF the
city. There is some doubt about the election
of Radett, the anti-railroad candidate for
State Senator. James Otis, the peoples can
didate for Mayor, holds good majority, thus
far over Mcdonnell, the Democratic candidate
p. Crowley, the peoples candidate for Chief OF
Police, is beaten by about $500. Returns from
the interior are imperfect but enough are in to
show victory for the Independent ticket. San
Jsaqun, Santa Clara, Los Angeles, Alameda,
Contra Costa, Tolo and Colusa counties declare
for the Independent ticket The Democrats
claim small gain over last year in the Legls-
lature

WASHINGTON.


WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-Colector Rollins of
the Second District of North Carolina informs
the revenue bureau that Especial deputy and
soldier under Lieut.. Mast destroyed illicit dis
nlleries in Haywood County, and made twelve
arrests on the 7th of August. On the 10th they
destroyed four distileries and made eight arrests
in Mcdowell County. They then proceeded
to South Mountain, Burke County, where they
destroyed eight distlleries and made seventeen
arrests. Those eight distlleries were located in
close proximity to each other aud there was re-
liable information of twenty or twenty-five
more being in operation in South Mountain,
Out furtber progress was arrested by the inter-
ence OF the State authorities, Lieut. Mast and
Deputy Marshal Bearer being arrested upon
bench warrant from Judge Clark for destroying
property
The Collector says: 81 do not wish to reflect
upon the Judges integrity, but believe he was
imposed upon by certain parties who, besides
being generally hostile to anything looking to
the execution of the laws of th4 Federal Gov
eminent, made this move to give the law
breakers time to remove their stills and get out
OF the way. There was no unnecessary or
wanton destruction of property, and all law
abiding citizens will bear testimony that the
conduct of Lieut.. Mast and his men has been
unexceptionable throughout | intend to re-
turn with the expedition next week to the same
locality and to make another effort for the en-
forcement of the law, in which L hope to be
supported to any extent by the strong arm of
government
Supervisor Perry in transmitting the report
to the Commissioner, says: mo pains will be
spared TO break up all illicit stills in said dis
tr'ct which can possibly be reached. The rev.
enue officers who accompanied the expedition
We're particularly cautioned against doing any
thing Mhich in any way could be made to APP
pear as wrong or oppressive, and l believe they
obeyed instructions literally"
