THE PAEispIsE MINES.

A marked change for the better
is noticeable in the Paradise mines
Mine owners are displaying consider
able more activity than during the hot
season ami in every instance as far
as heard from their labors have been
crowned with success. A reliable cor
respondent reports that the lower tunnel
on the Bullion of Paradise mine has cut
the LARGEST body OF ore ever found in
tie district. The Rather is. producing
very rich ore, and the Mount Rose at
the present depth promises to be first
class mine. The Paradise Valley is
looking better than ever before and the
Big Prize has fine body Of ore in sight.
The Arthur which was considered val
ueless short time ago, has been struck
in tunnel and is now looked upon as a
valuable mine. The working force in
the mines is at least double what it was
six weeks ago and there are now about
l50 men employed in the district.
A reaction has set in and the mines are
proving to be, what many predicted
from the time they were discovered a
year ago they would be, among the
best in the State.

Latest returns from the. city gives

1t Is generally admitted that Perkins
will be elected by handsome plurality.

THE CALIFORNIA ELECTION.

The election in California yesterday,
though one of the most exciting and
warmly contested ever held in the
State, passed off quietly. The vote
polled in San Francisco equalled in
numbers that cast at the Presidential
election in 1876, WHEN it was estimated
that several thousand fraudulent votes
were polled. 1t appears from the Fe-
turns that Kalloch ran ahead of his
ticket. i'll some precincts in the city,
though all the opposition conferred on
Flint to defeat him. Reports received
this forenoon say the election of Kalloch
is conceded, but not assured. Perkins
leads for Governor as far as heard from,
with Glenn second and White third in
the race. 1t is believed that Perkins is
elected but this belief must be taken
with some allowance as the news gath
erer Of the Associated Press only gives
expression 10 HIS ScntiiHeil1S. Stolle-
man who was endorsed by all parties
except the Repul licans, for Railroad
Commissioner in the Third District is
elected beyond doubt, while it is sup
posed that the Republican candidates
in the First and Second Districts are
elected. The Republicans claim to
have elected all four of the Congress-
men, though they express some doubts
as to the Third District. 1t should be
remembered however that these are the
opinions of prejudiced parties and while
they may prove to be correct they are
by no means reliable.

he Southern District, is

missioner in the Southern District, is
elected.
The Republicans will probably elect
Gone and Phelps from the northern
and city districts.
Republicans have undoubtedly elected
the whole State ticket and probably
four Congressman, though the Third
District is doubtful. In the city the
vote for Mayor, as far as counted,
stands kalloch l,6ll, Flint 1870, Girls
void 10. kalloch's election is generally
corceded, though not assured 1t is
expected too that the Workingmen
have elected the Sheriff and District
Attorney; probably Auditor and City
and County Attorney. Otherwise it is
believed the Republicans have made a
sweep of the city ticket.
IL, A. Additional returns, mainly
from minor interior precincts, give
Perkins z l27; Glenn, 6,005; White,
1873. These are complete returns.
Incomplete returns indicate still further
Republican gains. Counting in the
city is progressing slowly, and indicates
no relative change from the last report.

English Commissioners are now in
the United States investigating the
agricultural prospects of the country.
Large numbers of English farmers,
some of whom have considerable capital,
are preparing to come here and colonlze
together in some of the Western States
Should the Commissioners report favor
able on the prospects here, it is sup
posed that there will be wholesale
emigration from England this Fall and
next Spring, and, even in the event of
an unfavorable report, hundreds of
English farmers will come to the United
States, as thousands of the mining
population of that country have now
made up their minds to do.

Another traitor is on top. When Gen.
Pope had command of the army of the
Potomac, he ordered Fitz John Porter to
attack that part of the rebel army COM
manded by Stonewall Jackson. Porter
deliberately disobeyed orders, and re-
fused to move. For this he was tried by
court martial and removed from the SER
vice.
When Hayes was bought into the
Presidency by Foster, Garfield, Sherman
d Co., it seems to have been part of the
understanding that this traitor, Porter,
should be restored, and Hayes at once
opened up the case, and committee was
appointed. That committee have just
reported. of course yindicating Porter
That was the purpose for which tie com
mittee was appointed. Now Porter will
be put back into the army, to be able
