CoystirutTionaL Coxvextion,—The Union says that according to the returns from twenty counties of the State, embracing the largest proportion of the popular suffrage, the vote for a Constitutional Convention is 44,189. The total vote for President in these counties is 83,716, one-half of which is 41,858, It will thus be seen that as far as returns bave been received, the Constitutional Convention basa majority of 2,330, It is not by any means certain that the Convention is defeated. The vote in three or four populous counties, the returns from which were first received, was largely against the Convention, and from this the conelusion was hastily formed that the measure bad not received the sanction ofa majority of the voters, Tue Su.ver Aok.—This is the title ofa paper recently started at Carson City, the first number of which we have received as an exchange, Itis published by Messrs, Lewis & McElwain, formerly of the Plumas Argus—Jobu ©, Lewis editor, The proprictors know bow to make ap an interesting paper, and we wish them success in their new enterprise. Squarren Riot.—A squatter difficulty took place near the Mission, at San Francisco, on Tuesday last, Several shots were tired, but no one burt. The land on which the riot took place is claimed by a maa named Thompson, Four of the rioters were arrested, San Bernagpivo.—The Alla gives the vote of San Bernardino county as follows: Lincoln, 307; Douglas, 224; Breckinridge, 191; Bell, 98. Last year that county gave Latbam 632 votes; Currey 6, and Standford 39. Tus total vote cast at the late election in the five most populous counties of Oregon, was as follows: Marion, 1,766; Linn, 1,567;, Jackson, 1,537; Lane, 1,234; Multnomab, 1,201, The vote of each of the other counties is less than a thousand, Tus Srvaxgrsurr.—N, Greene Curtis, of Sacramento, Jobn Conness, of El Dorado and BS. Lippencott, of Calaveras, are referred to as candidates for Speaker of the Assembly. enn ee Ennor,—The telegrapbie dispatch, in our lust issue stated that ‘Michigan bas probably gone for Douglas.” It should have read, “Missouri has probably gune for Douglas.’”’ _ Bornowep Gums.—Many of the rich jewels worn at the Prince’s Ball, at New York, were borrowed or rather hired from jewellors at heavy, rates, Several jewellers made enormous speculations in this way. Tux brig Fauntelroy arrived at San Francisco last Tuesday, from Port Townsend, She reports heavy gales on the northern coast, Sarina or tus Sreamer.—The mail steamer Golden Age sailed for Panama yesterday monning, with 520 passengers, and $1,216,219 in treaeure. Fant ay a Bro Tree—A dispatch from Murpby’s, states that the gale of last Hriday night blew down one of the Big Trees, knowa as the “Miner’s Cabin,’’ Fremont’s Mixes —Wells, Fargo & Co,, yesterday brought down from the Fremont estate $13,250 in gold,bars, the yield of the past two weeks, Geo, Rrer, the well-know actor, left Los Angeles, on Friday last, by the averland stage, for St. Louis. He has been in Cali-. fornia for the past seven years, — Sonoon Censys.—Yolo county contains 1,058 children between the ages of four and eighteen years, Duergatep——Ned Metiowan, the candi: date for Gongress from Arizona, has been defeated. Quanex, or Locauiry,-—The publication ottice of the Dispatch will soon be transferred from Lancha Plang to Jackson, ELECTION RETURNS, The Board of Supervisors, after a carefal examination of the returns from all the precints in the county, and due consideration, have excluded from the official count the returns from seven precinets—Buena Vista, Lowell Hill, Walloupa and Camden, They . were thrown ont for the reason that the In. spectors and Judges neglected to make out and sign a certificate, stating the number . of votes received by each candidate, The law requires that the election board shall make out @ certified statement of the number of votes each person has received, and shall also certify to the correctuess of the tally list, were followed the returns were received and counted, but where both requisites were neglected the omission was deemed fatal. Ina unmber of other precincts the returns were made out in a very bungling manner, but wherever there was an apology for a certificate the, vote was counted, At Blue Tent, the certificate stated the . number of votes each candidate received, . but did not state for what office they were voted for; at the Anthony House, the . names of the Electors were not given in the certificate—the certificate merely stating . that Lincoln’s Electors received so many votes; Bell’s Electors so many, etc. These were regarded as “informalities,” and the . votes were counted, as they were undoubtedly intended, In case of a contested election it is probable that the excluded returns might be . proved up and admitted; but the Board of Supervisors have nu anthority to summon . the Judges and Clerks to appear before . them and swear to the returns, nor would they have time todo so even if they bad) the autbority. One of the Supervisors was . in favor of throwing out the returns from Blue Tent and Allison Ranch, and another . dissented to throwing out Poorman’s creek, It so happens that the exclusion of the re. turns named above, does not change the re. sult as heretofore reported, for a single can. didate; and for that reason itis not likely . that it will lead to any election contest, It disfrarchises 419 voters, and takes the fol. lowing number of votes from each of the Presidential candidates: Lincoln, 158; Douglas, 144; Breckinridge, 87: Bell, 30. Miller has ten or twelve votes over Perkins for the Assembly, gaining four or five votes, In several precinets, the vote was returned for J. 7. Perkins, but they were counted for J. S. Perkins, being evidently intended for the same man, The majority of Mr. Sheets, for Supervisor of the Second district, is reduced to thirty or forty votes, but he is still elected, and so is every candidate for Justice and Constable who would have been elected had the votes all been counted. We are informed by those who have had . means of knowing, that the returos were . never made out in so bungling @ manner, at any election heretofore held @ince the county was organized. They are certainly not very complimentary to the intelligence of the county, Itisa hard matter that voters should be disfranchised, for no fault of their own; but the excluded returns would not be received as evidence in any court, even under the liberal election laws of our State.

But all do not believe you, and there are many who missuse your name with the parricidal intention of hoisting another banner in Italy. Honor commands you to put anend to the suspicions of some and to the machinations of others. Show yourself great by leaving Naples, and you will take with you the praise of all honest men. I subscribe myself, yours devotedly, GIonGIO PALLAVICINI. A Gano or Rossers Broken up.—A correspondent of the Alta, writing from San Diego, November l4tb, says: * The filibusters that went down to Lower . California have been driven out by Gover. vor Esparza, Mendoza, who was in command of them, made an attack on Governor Exparza, a few days ago, and was completely routed, It is said that Esparza, in order to save the women and children who were with bim, marched oat from his fortification, which was only an ordinary adobe . house, surrounded by an adobe corral.
