SAN Francisco, November 9.-The Of
fetal returns are not yet all in, but enough
have been received to determine that the
Hancock electors, except Judge Terry,
have carried the State by a majority OF
from 200 to 300, while the Republicans
have elected Al Assemblymen, giving them
a majority of two in the Assembly, and
from 10 10 ~ on joint ballot.
Only one case of smallpox is reported
for to-day.
Official returns Of the State are coming
in this evening, but cannot be obtained
from three or four remote counties before
Thursday. Thirty-four counties, outof 81,
show net Republican gains over previous
figures of 35 votes. There is considerable
difference between the vote for different
elections, and with the general result SO
close, it is quite possible that q divided
ticket may prove to be elected. Terry is
far behind, and is beaten beyond all doubt.
The official returns from all the counties
in the Fourth Congressional District, ex-
cept Tulare, Mariposa, and Inyo, which
are full, but not official, gives Paeheco 1853
| majority. The official returns will make
no material changes, and his election is
settled.
