THERE has been considerable feeling in Whining.
the election of city officers there last wednes
day. The Every Evening says that men went about in
carriages carrying great bundles of tax receipts which
given to any one who would vote the ticket that
was elected. The Republican charges the grossest
frauds and wants the election contested especially in
the Fifth Ward where Alvin Allen tied Mr.. Gawthrop
subsequently seated in the city council by vote OF
that body and Mr.. Carmichael was elec.ed over Mr.
Evans by a majority of six votes. The Gazette while
denying the extent of the frauds asserted by the
other papers claiming that it done by the oppo-
site party previous election says: 1.-The crime
awful one; and one which might, if the law were
enforced, send a half-dOzen so men, who claim to
be respectable, to prison. No one likes to whole
families brought to shame and Distress and hence the
cases were deferred. AS to their prosecution yet
the lawyers differ about it,"

THE election of Kalloch to the Mayoralty of San
Francisco is assured and the blatant lieutenant of
Keaney and the representative of the sand lot hood
lums says the Philadelphia Times will be the Chief
Magistrate of the first city of the Pacific coaSt-the
city possessing more wealth than any city of its
population in the world. And the mortifying refec-
tion remains to the people of San Francisco that it
was the bullet of would-be assassin that has in
fcted this shame upon them. The lawlesSness that
inspired De Young to attempt sneaking murder by
shooting his victim when entirely off his guard, has
given Kalloch and his cause many more votes than
the majority he has received, and the community
must now endure the penalty of the assisins crime
by characterless adventurer welding executive
power.
