The results of the election are not all that
could have been desired, but in the main
they are satisfactory. It is to be regretted
that the pumping plan was not carried,
but perhaps fuller discussion may have the
effect Of showing the way out of some
legal obstacles to the proposed scheme, and
as it is obvious to all who have examined
the subject that we shall have to adopt
some pumping plan eventually, the result
on this head may be regarded merely as a
postponement, and not as rejection OF
the proposal.
The stone-plan having been defeated, the
Trustees will have at least $50, 900 to spend
in strengthening the levees with earth,
and they can put as much stone on the bad
places as is requisite. The assistance plan
to Lavee District No. /, carried by small
majority, and this is matter for congratu-
lation. 1t would have been very poor and
narrow policy to have refused this assist
ance, for Sacramento has her own interests
at stake in the safety of that district, and
she cannot afford to let the matter be
neglected even if she had to bear the
whole expense herself. We understand
that some of the opponents of the assist
ance plan have raised question as to
the validity of the election, by refer
ring back to the statute of 1863,
and showing that under it two
thirds vote is required. That fact may be
admitted, but it must also be admitted
that the election was not held under the
law of 1863, but under the law of 1878;
and as the latter does not require two
thirds vote, but does provide merely for
popular ratification of the propositions,
the rational presumption is that simple
majority is all that were required, and
that therefore the result of the election is
valid and effective. Were it otherwise it
would certainly become necessary to hold
another election, inasmuch as the defeat
of the pumping plan renders it more than
ever indispensable that the levee from Y
to Freeport should be protected since the
abandonment of that levee would wreck all
prospect of drainage by the canal.

CANNON AND cAMpRsIL

Campbell is making desperate efforts to
get his case recognized by Congress, but
thus far he has had very bad success. The
Clerk of the House, Adams, has put Can
non on the roll of members despite the
bogus certificate of Governor Murray, and
MIR. Campbell thinks it very hard that he
should not be allowed to secure the seat to
which he was not elected, after his friend
had gone to so much trouble to issue a
certificate which was fraudulent on its
face. Campbell is not advancing rapidly,
in fact, and the indications are that Con-
gress viii not indorse the peculiar tactics
by which it has been attempted in this
case to nullify the popular choice.

VIRGINIA, June 16th-In the District
Court at 10 o'clock this morning, the case OF
County Commissioner Warren J. Sheridan,
charged by the Grand Jury with willful mis-
conduct in office, in having fraudulently pro.
cured goods for his family ON his order as
County Commissioner, was called. A jury
was obtained about in the afternoon, after
some trouble. Several witnesses were exam
ined, when the Court adjourned to 10 o'clock
tomorrow morning. The evidence thus far
indicates that Sheridan's name was forged to
several INDECENT orders. Some three orders
were presented after the County Auditor had
rejected the bill for the first batch, and after
the same had been returned to Sheridan. The
evidence shows that Sheridan was careless in
approving bills.

San FRANcIsoo, June l6sh.-In accord
ance with the instructions conveyed to Lieu

States steamer Rodgers, in the following tele.
gram, which he received yesterday from the
Navy Department, the Rodgers went out this

relief ship to sea. The steamer Saucelito

the bay the small yachts didn't take part in
the ceremonies, but several tugs and large
vessels helped to swell the attendance in Civ

passed along the water front she was salnted
by every craft in the bay. AT sundown the
