PACIFIC COAST DISPATCHES. FROM CALIFORNIA Sonntor Kelly Returns to Oregon small-pox. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 23. There is some excitement in Rerublican circles here over the movements of Senator Kelly, of Oregon. He left here Thesday, ostensibly to go East, after stopping a day or two at Sacramento. It is now reported that before leaving here he received an urgent summons to return to Oregon, which he did by rail and stage. He has been tracked as far as Yreka. on the road home. The supposition is that he is returning to brace up Governor Grover in the latter's refusal to issue a certiticate of election to Watts, whose eli) gibility has been questioned on the ground of his being a postinaster. An examination of the records of the f Health Office to day shows that while the small-pox has by no means died out there is no reason to apprehend a e serious fresh outbreak. During the last week there was a somewhat marked increase in the number of cases reported. For a few days since that they have fallen back to the usual average. Since the first of this month 59 new cases have been reported and 17 deaths. Election Returns. SAN DIE:40, CAL., Nov. 23. The Sapervisors canvassed the vote ) of this county to-day.
