THE MILITARY ELECTION. - Attorney
General 10 Hamilton has given an opinion in
the case of the recent election for Major of
the Second Regiment of Infantry, Second
Brigade, n. G. c., that the presiding officer
erred in deciding that blank ballot should
| be counted vote, where ten votes, nine
| votes, and blank were cast and that even
if the disputed ballot had name written on
it other than the names of the candidates re-
ceiving the ten and nine it would not justify
the presiding officer in calling it no election,
even though the by-lays of the Board of Off
GERS say, " A majority of all the votes shall
be necessary to elect, ;" the election being held
under the general laws of the State, which
say that the person receiving the greatest
number of votes shall be elected This will
result in declaring that Captain Geo. Cantus
has been elected Major of the Second Regi-
ment of Infantry, of San Francisco.
FooTHuL ORANGEs.-There was shown at
this Office yesterday bunch of oranges
grown by James w. Smyth, Horseshoe Bar,

whole product They were of fine grain,
juicy and exceedingly rich in flavor. Every
lot of foothill oranges brought here seems to
be better than the preceding samples. Evil
