SAN Francisco. Sept. 4.-Ths election
yesterday was an orderly throughout as
ever was experienced in this city. not
withstanding all prediction to the CON.
trary. Very little disOrdsrly conduct
from drink was noticed. although many
saloons had back or side door entrances
for trusted customers. The police regu-
lations were very excellent and effective.
and the laws governing the election were
pretty generally obeyed. although some
few were arrested for attempted violation
OF the same. peddling bogus or irregular
ballots. etc. Owing to the heavy vote
cast, the large number Of candidates on
each ticket, and the vast amount Of
scratching done. the counting Of the
votes progresses slowly, and very little
idea can be formed AZ to the result ut
present. The Democrats voted the Re.
publican city ticket to q great extent and
frequently scratched Glenn. but the
! workingmen generally voted straight;
IL 1859 votes were cast.
The contest throughout the State was
lively. and the returns thus far show
that Perkins Ia ahead.
The ball in Kalloch's thigh was eY.
tracted by his wife with her thumb and

Of an ordinary mans thumb, and was
