_ fam Fuancisco Pottrics.—Two years
i ptimary election of the Union party
at in San Francisco. Taking-advantige of the fact that there was no law to
ptteorve the purity of such an election, or
protect honest men in expressing their preferences, gangs of rowdies, bought up in the
interest of Low and Conness, took possession
ef tid polls and excluded decent people from
them by violence and bullying. To make
ap’ aa appearance of s popular election,
however, wagon leads of bummers went
from one polling place to another, drunken
‘with whisky and voted over and over again.
Many of thom bvasted that they made a tour
of tie city and voted a dozen times. ' The
roughsor “shorts” as they began to be call+ ad, awopt everything and had e Convention
,. efter their own hearts. The Convention .
_ et and nominated a Legistative ticket,
“Gnade ap, with one or two exceptions, of
vrokea down gamblers, political sharps and
0.00 One or two good men were
nominated to's dozen of the baser sort. The
people of San Francisco quivtly nominated
agood ticket—such men as Shafter, Dodge,
Beddington, ctc., and elected it by five
thocsand: majority. When the people had
thus epoken, Joho Conness also spoke. He
said in his “sick letter” that San Francisco
did right to “spew the ticket out of their
mouths,” and elect better men.
San Francisco has been the prey of bulkhead echemers, outside-land-stealers, grant
adietg, &c., for years, and has been compelled te slect men tothe Legislature opposed touch schemes. The bummer tickef, with 60 exception or two, were known
te be putty imen, open tu conviction when
‘were weighty, and from the instinot of self-preservation the city would
not let them represent her.
At the following State Convention, Evans,
ea phodient servant of Low and Conness,
iptreduced a resolution censuring the peo‘ah A , ". Office and that that class’ was consequently denied a
Mr. “
plo of San Francisco for thie act. Mr. Sar reg . . just returned from below, where he purgett charged that that was the purpose of
thé reselution and challenged denial of it,
whict denial was uot wade. With Shafter
+ and others he made such exposure of the
a that conceived
the bummer's
ticket,
the Low men did nut dare to bring the
resolation to a vote, they had a
majority in, Convention, and it was
ithdrawn, Since that day the Flag has
not found words bitter enough to vent its
spite against the men who baffled its party
Even the dirty Gazette, whose present edipoivce boltere of that day, being eight

they were elected in spite of
raed, whisky and violence of his paag, forgetting that all the epithets he then

. reading that precious sentencey one can fancy, ‘“‘and
with likelihood to lead it,*thiat the members of the .
little Junto that brought forth this Magna
Charta, if indeed this concentrated wisdom of the
ninéteenth century ought to play SECOND fiddle to
any thing thatthe insignificant past bas produced,
in throwing themselves back into their respective
chairs in complacent contemplation of their work befere the dddition thereto of this last and fragran;
‘clause, indulged in some such talk as this :
Sears#-“‘Well boys, what we have down there,
_will set us all right on the score of loyalty, but the
devil of it is, the other crowd are just as sound as
weare upon every point, and will acouse us, and rot
with absolute injustice, I must confess, of having
stolen their thunder. Something else’ must be done.”
Kent—''Yes, you bet! “We've got to get the Copperhead vote; nothing else will save us. There are
@ good many sore-heads around, but not enough to
elect a man of us. After all what’s the use being
squeamish; the war is over and Copperhead votes are
just as good as auy other man’s. In fact I have always had a sneaking liking for ‘em, let's give the’
poor buggers a show.’’ «
' Hawley—‘“‘Its all very well to TALK about getting their votés, but how are we to approach them
without exciting the suspicion and disgust of our
short-haired friends, who are not more than half out
of the regular or-gan-i-za-tion ?’’
Kent—'‘O pshaw ! that’s easy enough ; let’s damn
the nigger; I always found that to work when everything else failed in the Democratic party—God
bless its old soul!” :
Sears—‘'It is well. That dodge will catch every
q

Irish vate in the. county."”
Hantopy-"‘Bie tall be damned to all eternity,
such is my humor.”
And thus it may be that we here received the
sublime principle of “Opposition to Negro Suffrage
in California.” ‘
The sagacity that discovered the necessity for
miaking the darkey an issue in this campaign, when
not a man, womaa nor child in the State had heard that
sambo wanted to exercise that great right, can never
be too much admired.
Thedeclaration thus brought forth was industriously circulated throughout the county. By dint of
pertinacions button-holing, and the use of alb kinds
of loose assertions concerning the corruption of the
tegular Convention and its nominees, they
in obtaining several hundred names. Many of those
published are known to have been used without consent of the owners ;;-how many more may be in the
. same category can only be conjectured. The mass
meeting of the indignant people, to which this call
was preliminary, occurred in due course of time, and
numbered exclusive of those who ‘‘went to see the
fun, 50 men all told; not one dozen of whom were
from other townships than Grass Valley and Nevada,
these two townships, in, reward for their excessive
indignation, receiving every nomination ‘upon the
bolter’s ticket save two.
The sore-heads made the following distinct charges
against the majority of the Union party, as an excuse
for their withdrawal, and as inducements for others
to join them, viz: That all the townships were not
represented on the:ticket; that old Democrats were
-ostracised, and the offices all given to old Republicans; that no foreigner was thought worthy of an
daa
nomination; that the
. politician
having been in the State not quite a year. Now

y, the fighting ist parson, as he
is called in Tennessee, was in Nashville the
day 1t’was reported that Buel had decided
to evacuate.the city. The rebels, strongly
reinforced, were suid to be within two days’,
march of. the capital. -Of course the city
was greatly excited:~-Said Moody, “I went
in search-of Juhnson at the edge of the evening, and feend him at his’ office closited
with two gentlemen, who were walking the
floor with bim, one on each side. As I entered they. retired, leaving me alone with
Johnson, who came up tn me manifesting
intense feeling
sold out, Buel is a traitor. He is going to
evacuatethe city, and in less than furty-eight
houre we shall all be in the hands of the
rebels.” Then he commenced pacing the
floor again, twisting his hands and chafing
like a caged. tiger, utterly insensible to his
friend’s entreaties to become calm. Suddenly he turned and ‘said, ‘“Moidy, can you
ray 1’’ “That is my business, sir, as a miaister of the guspel,”’ returned the: colonel.—
“Well, Moedy, I wish you would pray,”
said Johnson, and instantly both went down
upon their knees at opposite sides of the
room. As the prayer became fervent, Johnson began. to-respond in true Methodist
style.Presently he crawled over on. his.
hands-and knees to Moody’s sidv, and put
his arm over him, manifesting the deepest
emotion. Closing the prayer with a hearty
“Amen!” from each, they arose: Johnsen
tuok a long breath, and said with empbasis,
“Moody, I feel better.” Shortly afterwards
he aeked, “Will you stand by me?” “Cer“Well,
Moody, I can depend upon you;-yeu are one
in a hundred thousand.’’ He then eommenced — the fluor again. . Suddenly
he wheeled, the current of his thoughts having changed,.and said, “Oh, Moody, I don’t
want you te think I have become a religious
man because I asked you to pray. I am
sorry to say it, but I am not, and have never pretended to be, religious. No one
knows this better than you; but, Moody,
there is one thing about it—I do believe in
Almighty God. And I believe also in the
Bible, andI say I'l) be damned if Nashville shall be surrendered!” And Nashville
was not surrendered.
SeNaTor and Assemblymen were nomi-. nated by acclamation, Sears and his friends
being delegates and acquiescing —Trans. We were not a delegate in the regular
Convention until after the Legislative and
a portion of the county ticket was nominated ; and then we were admitted on a proxy.
: Now don't! You know you could'nt have
gotten into Convention after the report of
the committee on credentials was adopted
without asking the Convention.” Another
