--
The State Gone for Lincoln.--The Pony Express, from
San Francisco on the evening of Nov. 10th, has arrived at St. Josephs.
The steamer
Sonora sailed on the morning of that day for
Panama, with $820,000 and 304 passengers for New York.--The following political intelligence is received by this arrival:
It is believed the total vote of the
State at the recent election will not vary far from 115,000.
Of the votes already counted (105,868,)
Lincoln has 35,036;
Douglas, 38,836;
Breckinridge, 29,424;
Bell, 6,942.
Lincoln's majority over
Douglas, 1,150.
These returns are all received by telegraph from more than one hundred different dispatches, and mistakes have probably occurred.
The official count will be required to determine the result.
The contest is between
Lincoln and
Douglas, with the chances in favor of the former.
As near as can be ascertained, the Legislature stands as follows:
Senate —
Douglas (Democrat,) 9,
Breckinridge (Democrat,) 5; Republicans 4
House --
Douglas (Democrat,) 40;
Breckinridge (Democrat,) 21; Republicans 19.
Of the 17
Senators who hold over, 11 are understood to be
Douglas, 4
Breckinridge, and 2 Republicans.
There are already numbers of Douglas Democrats aspiring for
Mr. Gwin's place in the United States Senate--among them,
Governor Downey,
General Denver,
James A. McDougall and others.
The contributions to the Washington Monument fund on election day, at
San Francisco,
Sacramento and
Marysville, exceeded $1,300 Returns from the balance of the
State are not yet received.
More than $100,000 was wagered on the result of the
State election in
San Francisco alone, and some parties are suspicious that the election returns may have been falsified in some instances by parties interested in the bets.
The total vote cast in
San Francisco was 14,415; more than 3,000 in excess of last year's vote.
This satisfies the people that the census just completed, making the population of the city but 60,000, is far short of the real population.
The People's Reform ticket for municipal officers in
San Francisco was elected entire by majorities ranging from 600 to 4,000.
Here the line gave out between
Pittsburg, Pa., and
Wheeling, Va.; a high wind blew all the wires down.
