A Washington special says the state

THE returns so far received indicate
that the HERALD was rather below
than above the mark when it fixed
WIGGINToN's majority in the district
at from 1,500 to 1000. 1t is probable
that before this issue of the HERALD
is published we shall be able to give
more definate figures. 1t now looks
as though Mr.. WIGGINToN's majority
in this county will approximate 1000.
The vote on Congressman is compli.
ment to the intelligence of the people
of Los Angeles county and shows that
they are capable Of judging between
man and man even though the most
competentispersistently misrepresent
ed and abused as was Mr.. WIGGINToN
by the Express and other papers in the
interest of HoUGHToN. The HERALD
advocated the election Of WIGGINToN
because it believed him the man of
all the candidates before the people
who would best represent Southern
California in Congress and we are
strong in the faith that he will prove
himself as able and competent as we
have represented him.

NEWS OF THE MORNING.

Returns received up to one O'Clock this
morning warrant the statement that the State
has gone Democratic by from $1,000 to 10000
majority.
The Democrats elect three OF the four Con-
gressmen-Piper in the First District; Lut-
trell in the Third. and Wiggnton in the
Fourth. Page. Republican, is reelected in
the Second District.
The Democrats have swept San Francisco
by large majority, electing their entire Leg
islatsve and municipal ticket.
In this county the Democrats elect their
entire ticket, with the exception of Rowan
candidate for Treasurer; Temple, mis- compet-
itor, getting in by a small majority.
Leach, Democratic nominee for Assembly
man in San Diego county, is defeated on ac-
count of his opposition to Wigginton. Mccoy,
for Sheriff, shared the same fate for the same
cause.
Alameda county elects the entire Demo
cratic Legislative ticket. Wonders will never
cease.
by small majority.
1t Is reported that Mayor Beaudry will to-
night veto the resolution locating the Los An.
geles and independence railroad depot on San
Pedro street.
San Luis Obispo county gives 100 Democratic
majority.
San Qsentin, which the Republicans were
wont to call Democratic precinct, gives
Phelps eight majority over Irwin.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1875-09-03

Dispatches from San Diego say that
ex-senator MCCOY, Democratic candi-
date for Sheriff and LEACH, Demo-
cratic nominee for Assemblyman are
both defeated by large majorities. We
record the fact with a great deal of
pleasure. The course of both these
gentlemen during the campaign has
been anything but Democratic. Nc
Coy was delegate to the convention
which nominated Mr.. WIGGINToN for
Congress, yet he went home and repu-
diated the man he should have worked
and voted for, He has in turn been
repudiated by the Democracy of his
county and we are glad of it. LEACH
pandered to what he mistook to be
popular prejudice and while being
Democratic nominee used the little
influence he possessed against DEM
ocratic candidate. The election of
such Democrats as Mccoy and LEACH
have proven themselves is no credit to
the party. Let them become mon
grels by profession as they have by
practice.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1875-09-03

A THOUSAND majority for the Independent
ticket, with the present zeal and work kept
up to the day of election, is Il moderate calcu-
lation.-Erpress before election.
The Express idea as TO how the new people
of Los Angeles were likely to vote proves to
have been very sagacious one. Well, We
bear our honors meekly. Though we are not
q prophet, nor a son of a prophet. nor yet the
seventh son of a seventh son, we hit that mat
ter precisely between wind and water.-Er-
press after election.
The joke which connects the above
extracts is found in the fact that the
Independents elect one candidate and
the Democrats sweep the county with
majorities ranging from 100 to 700.
No, JOSEPH, you are not prophet.
You may have protited by your course,
but your prophetic remarks remind

When the HERALD said that Judge

When the HERALD said that Judge
THOMPSON would polla very respecta-
BILE vote the HoUGHToN men thought it
a good joke and laughed consumedly.
AS to whose head was nearest level we
refer the curious to the returns. Sew
eral days before the election the Judge
asserted that he would come out Sec
ond in the race aud at this the HoUGH-
TON men laughed again. We now be-
lieve the Judge was very near the
truth and we shall not be at all sur
prised if the full returns show HoUGH-
TON to be the last man in the race.
However this may turn out those who
laughed SO heartily at the Judges can
didacy must admit that he developed
q strength which astonished his most
sanguine friends.

IT is whispered that it is the inten-
ton of Mayor BEAUDRY to veto the
ordinance locating the depot of the
Los Angeles and Independence Rail-
road on San Pedro street. we do not
know that His Honor has decided on
this course, nor are we prepared to say
that the point selected is or is not the
most desirable location that could be
found, but as veto will accomplish
nothing beyond delaying the progress
of the road, we are in hopes that it
will not be presented. The ordinance
will be passed over the veto, and all
that will result from the exercise of
His Honor's prerogative will be delay;
unless, indeed, the act will SO exasper-
ate the company that they will locate
the depot away out at the race track.
This would be a serious injury to the
city.

considerable Importance at this stage
of the case, as there is good reason to
believe that she knows whereof she
speaks.
FaIl River strikers still Enjoying

FALL RIVER, Mass, Sept. 2d.-The
so-called vacation of the mill opera
tives still continues, with scarcely any
new developments, and there is no
prospect at present that the mills will
start before October 1st, and it is not
certain even then, us the help have
voted not to resume ut the reduction,
but to canvass New England for assist
ance and fight the manufacturers to
the end. The applications to the city
for help are daily on the increase, av-
eraging about 70. Assistance is re-

destitution among the operatives.

the English pedestrian, who UNDER
took to walk one hundred half miles

night, after walking seventy half
miles. In about sixteen days he was
rather weak, but lightness of gate

reason for stopping as he performed

A lightning Calculator.

Burlington rejoices in a prodigy,
and in the mathematical line at that.
Indeed it is q perfect wonder, and our
educational men and teachers will
find great deal of Instruction as well
as pleasure in interviewing the child,
a bright boy of nine years. His name
is Alfred t. Talbot, and his parents
live at No. 1923 North Main street.
The boys health is rather delicate, so
that he has not been sent to school
great deal, but he can perform arith-
metical feats that remind one of the
stories told about Zerah Colburn. He
was always bright, and possesses re-
markable memory. We heard of him
the other day, and in company with
two or three members of the school
board, went to the home of the prodi-
gy for an interview. He was marvel
ously ready with answers to every
question. Our easy starters such as
"add 6 and and and s, and and 8
and s." were answered like a flash ,and
corr ectly every time. Then when we
got the little fellow at his ease, one of
the directors took him in hand. He
said:
"Three times IL, plus 8, minus IL,
divided by 3, plus l, multiplied by 8,
less 8, add Z, is how many?"
"Nine," shouted the boy, almost be-
fore the last word was spoken, and the
school inspectors and the newspaper
man looked at each other in blank
amazement. Then the other inspec-
tor tried it.

with Mrs. Mosher, wife of Bill Mosher,
one of the abductors of Charlie Ross,

in Philadelphia for alleged participa-
ton in the abduction. Mr.. Mosher
pretended to know nothing of Charlie
Ross and was certain that Westervelt
had never seen him or been concerned
in the kidnapping. When abruptly
asked the question whether the child
was alive or dead, she said she was
sure he was living and would turn up
before long. She was as sure he was
living as that she breathed. She
would not believe him dead unless she
saw his dead body before her. When
asked how she knew this she declined
to answer. She was asked why she

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 2.-The elec-
ton yesterday was almost void of eX-
element. At most of the wards there
was unusual dullness, in some places
not vote cast for an hour. Up to
noon less thon 5000 had been cast in
the 40 voting precincts, after that hour
the voting increased somewhat. AT
two o'clock $4,000 had been polled.
Most of the voting had been done from
4 O'clock up to the closing of the polls
Quiet and order prevailed up to the
close, and during the whole day but
one person was arrested for infringing
the one hundred foot law, and this
proved to be an inadvertance. 1t is
safe to state that not more than five
per cent. of the whole number of votes
went in straight votes. Voters in all
parties freely scratched, especially the
city ticket. Up to twelve O'Clock mid
night less than two thousand votes
had been counted in all the precincts
/, of the city. The work progresses slow
~ly, taking on an average ten minutes
to count each ticket.
The indications are that the Demo-
cratic State ticket will have at least
5000 majority in the city. For Mayor
the contest is between Bryant and
Clayton. 1t is thought that majori-
ty of the Board of Supervisors will he
Democratic.
ID. O. Mills authorizes the state
ment that capitalists interested in the
Bank of California will obtain trans
fer of stock from holders, relieving
holders from liability, and guarantee
ing them against loss, and will SUBJ
scribe funds to place the bank in q
condition to pay demands and put it
on sound basis. Should any surplus
arise in the settlement, it will be cred
tied pro rata to the stockholders. The
arrangement will go into effect in a
few days.
The feeling on the street this morn
ing is cheerful and even buoyant.
The Merchants Exchange Bank open

The National Gold Bank and Trust
Bompany report an improvement in

The Board of Brokers have had meet
ing this morning, in which some ac-
tion is expected looking towards the
re.opening of the Board, though it is
thought some settlement of the affairs
of the Bank of California will be ne
cessary as q precursor to the opening
of the Stock Board. The reports of
the called meeting of the stockholders
of the Bank of California proves un.
founded. The Directors and friends of
the bank are still at work endeavoring
to arrange matters, and there is a
strong feeling among well informed
financiers that arrangements will be
made to secure depositors against any
loss, whether resumption takes place
or not. On the whole, affairs seem to
be looking up, and the best of feeling
prevails in monetary and commercial
circles.
