THE VOTE OF SAN FRANCISCO.

The Election Commissioners have
completed the canvass of the votes
polled in San Francisco. The total
number of votes cast in the city was
1892 Of these the Hancock EIec-
tors received a plurality of LAS, and
Rosecrans: has a. majority over Davis
for Congress Of | 500 votes. David S.
Terry, one of the Hancock Electors,
was scratched ON 205 ballots, but those
who did the scratching did not vote for
a Garfield Elector. 1t is claimed that
Terry is defeated in the State for Presi-
dental EIector, and that the highest
.Elector on the Garfield ticket, who is
Supposed to be Henry Edgerton, is
chosen in his place. This may be the
fact. but it can not be definitely ascer-
tanned until the vote of the whole
State is officially canyassed. Hancock
has a plurality in the State, according
the semi-official announcement of
the result, of 22l, but if Terry is de-
feated he will lose one Of the Electoral
votes. This is a matter of small conse-
auence,, however, as without the vote
of New York Hancock cannot be Presi-
dent, and with the thirty five Electoral
votes of that State he would have
enough without California.

In most of tho ncghb0Tng towns of tho same
county tho annual revel has of late years been sup
pressed, but 1t was once more INDUCED in at
Dorlung yesterday with unabaed vigor. la the
morning a committee Of" the Football Boys" went
round collecting subscriptions for the repair of
damages, compensation being promptly made for
broken windows and such like casualties. and
donations were freely given. Tho collectors were

mess was suspended after o'clock. The shops
were closed, and windows protected with planks and
Lottens while town clocks and gas lamps wero
boxed up or cased in padded sackclOh.
At half past two the ball was tossed up in the
centre of the town, opposite the church, and from
then uutil six o'clock the dwellers 10 the east aud
the dweiers TO tho west struggled to maintain IL
their respective sides Of the boundary. The excite
