SACRAMENTO, November 29.-The Gov

December 18th in Solano county for
Assemblymen, on account Of a tie between
Leach and Goodyear.
The official canvass took place to-day.
Present, w. w. Morrow and j. Step
pacher, for the Republicans; Z. w. Mas
lin and VIM. Broderick, for the Demo-
Gratis, and d. NJ. Burn, Secretary Of
State. for the State. The totals do not
vary from the result previously reported.
Secretary of State Burns had it in his
power to have declared the State for Gar
field, for the returns from Mendicino, Las
sen and Siskiyou came without the seal of
the Board of Supervisors, and nothing APP
peared on them to give them official ident-
ity. Had he kept the package unopened
until to-day, as he might nave done under
the law, these counties must have been
thrown out, as he had no lawful, verified
returns filed. But the Secretary opened
the returns as received discovered the err
rors named, and telegraphed the Clerks of
these counties that they still had time be-
fere the Doth to make the proper returns.
This they did.
