Vore Ear.y, Vote Orrex.—The Stockton Argus, of the 8th inst., referring to the large vote in that county, says: The large vote of this county at the recent election requires explanation. Last year San Joaquin cast 2,893 votes. Since then San Joaquin has been divided, loosing Knight’s Ferry and other precincts, numbering between three apd four hundred votes. How comes it that Stockton alone counts more than half of the whole of that vote? And how comes it that the county, after losing some four hundred votes, tow cast 526 votes more than it did before it was divided? We fear this rule has been carried out: ‘Vote early, vote often, vote all the time!” ‘Two Breckinridge voters are already in jail for double voting, anc it is hoped that others who were watched may be brought to justice. This election in Stockton particufolly shows the necessity of a registry law. It is the only way to protect the citizen in his right of voting, and to prevent its being lost to him by illegal votes. Luperta.—The Philadelphia Ledger has been presented with a specimen of coffee raised on the plantation of President Benson, in Liberia. The berry is large and full, of a light brown color, and is said to be the best coffee known. Speaking of the future prospects of Liberia, that paper says: The remarkable prosperity of Liberia within the last five years, in agricultural, commercial, educational and religious aspects, the increasing enterprise of her citizens for pushing into the interior and establishing new settlements, the growing disposition of the colored ee e of this country to bck to their ancestral land for the which they seek almost in vain on this continent, are ample tokens that the time is rapidly approaching in which tho most ardent aspirations of Christians and philanthropists for Africa’s civilization and elevation will be fully realized. Weattuy Becoars.—A few days ago an Italian beggar was arrested at Stockton, on a charge of vagraucy, He was proven to be worth at least $6,000, and the Justice, before whom he was tried, fined him $30, which he promptly paid. Cases of a similar character ase not rare. We notice in an Eastern exchange an account of the arrest of a beggar in Paris, quite recently, for having imposed upon the public in soliciting charity, when, instead of being in want, he was found to be a wealthy man. The ever viglant police of Paris made the discovery by searching his premises, where evidences of his wealth appeared in the shape of railroad and other securities. Stm.ver 1x Ongcon.—A_ correspondent writing from Springville, Multnomah county, Oregon, says: Silver mines are all the rage in Oregon just now. Since my last, new and important discoveries of immense silver leads have beon made near City, on the Clackamas. Whether untold millions of silver or not lie hidden in this vicinity, yet remains to be seen. The probabilities are “or not” will be the unwelcome result of the discovery. Aponition Spiirrers.—Itis stated that the Abolition party, of whieh Gerrit Smith is the candidate for the Presidency, is about to to split, or bas eplit. A portion of the party is too strong in the faith for Smith, and will vote against bim because they fear that if be should become President he would be too conservative. This split may imperil Mr. Smith’s election, Quer Execrion.—In every part of the State the election was conducted with unusual quietness and decorum. So far as heard from, there was no fighting, or disturbances of any kind worth mentioning, at any voting place in the State. Ture political papers have suepended siace the election—the Sacramento Democrat, (Breckinridge,) S. F. Nation, (Douglas,) and S. F. Constitution, (Bell-Everet'.) They were probably only intended for campaign papers, Onto Evecrioy.—The Republican majority at the October election in Ohio was very much over estimated. Briokerhoff, the Republican candidate for Supreme Judge, waselected by about 13,000 votes over the Democratic candidate. Procep Ovt.—The Salem Statesman says the famous quartz lead near Jackeonville in Tue total vote of California, at the Pres. . SoUthera Oregon, has given out entirely, and been abandoned.

The Bar of . Massachusetts addressed bim a complimen. tary letter on the occasion, which gave the venerable Judge an opportunity to express bis opinion, founded on long experience by practice and obeervation, of the superiorily . of the judicial system, by which the Judges . are appointed over that by which they ure, elected. He says: : If amid the gusts and whirlwinds of po-) litical violence, of personal raucor and party rage, passion aud force for the time bear .

OranceisM.—The old feud between the Catholics and the Orangemen, which was revived in Canada on the occasion of the Prince’s visit there, is burning as flercely as ever, especially on the part of the Catholics, who are preparing for war, and who, says the . ew York Times, manifest no dispesition to treat their enemies with forbearance or consideration, One of their organs bas come out with a programme of future operations, It is proposed io pass a law declaring members of the Orange Society incapable of gitting in Purliament, aod of being Judges or Ministers of the Crown, There is certainly some truth in the argument urged that no Catholic expects justice froman Orangeman, who ie sworn to further the triumph of bis own religion and the degradatioa of all others ; but the remedy suggested is too violent to have any chance of success. Its effect would be to eolist the whole Protestant feeling of the country ia behalf of Orangeiem ; and directly that is done, the Catbolic being in the minority, are bound to go to the wall. A New Cave.—A cave has been discovered in Alachua county, Florida, which is described as larger thau the Mammoth cave of Kentucky, and as having au ancient Latin inscription on the walls, which states that a party of Danes had visited this cave in the year 1050, and that a priest who had accompanied them had left this memorial of their visit. The name of this priest was Marcus Poleus, [It also stated that these bold navigators had embarked on a voyage of exploration, and had been driven far soath; also that they had visited many large islands, and finally had lauded in a thickly populated country, where the people had received them kindly, thinking them superior beings; that several of their number, together with some Greek artisans and two priests, bad been left there asacolony. Is this a relic of the party that the Mexicans say visited them four hundred years before Cortez landed and taught them the arts of civilized life, or is it a humbug? — Way Tay Votep ror Doveras.—The Italian journal advised all natives of Italy who were voters, to vote for Douglas yesterday, and, so far as known, the Italians followed the advice to a man. The reasons for their conduct are somewhat curious. It appears that at the storming of some town in Italy (Palermo, we believe) Garibaldi’s valor got the better of his discretion. Supported by a few be eharged into the ranks of the foe, revolver in hand, shot down some of the enemy, made a breach in his ranks, and then secured the capture of the place. The revolver which played so important a part on that occasion, was one presented to Garibaldi by Douglas. And for these reasons the sone of Italy were advised to cast their votes for the Little Giant, aud they cast them.—[Call. Eartuquake ALarm Beit.—The Japanese have discovered that a few seconds previous to the occurrence of an earthquake, the magoet temporarily loses ite power, and bave ingeniously constructed a light frame, supporting a borse-shoe magnet, beneath which is a cup of bell metal.
