San Francisco Election.

We published yesterday letter from San
Francisco, detailing the outrages committed on
the ballot-box, at the late election, by Patrick
Casey, and other vagabonds.
Weappend an article from the San Francisco
| Citizen, on the same subject:
The Foreign PhaIanI party have succeeded in
| returning a sufficient number OF votes to place
their candidate for Mayor in office, together with
some few Of their other candidates. The remainder
belonged to the American party, leaving no de-
cisive victory to either. But we hesitate not TO
say, that each and every one Of the Municipal Of
ticers elected upon their ticket with perhaps the
exception Of some ward oficcrs) will hold their
position upon tenure created by the BLACKLIST and
foulest fraud that the human mind Is capable Of
suggesting
0aths have been violated, civil rights trampled
upon, brute force and bullying rowdyism made TO
usurp the place of that just regard for the con-
stitutional rights Of American freemen, which
forms an inherent part Of our existence A. ma
| tioE. Despite these disgracefu proceedings we
may wen claim the success Of our party; for,
even with such vast odds In their possession, we
have succeeded in retiring from the field, without
the recognised advantage being gained by them,
except IN the election of Mayor.
To the most important municipal offices, the
candidates Of our party have been elected. The
Common Council win probably he found to contain
majority Of our men, and We shall therefore be
enabled TO control in great measure, the affairs
of our municipal government
The diseraceful outfages that have burned 50
deep into the hearts Of every American citizen
resident of San Francisco viii be amply rcvcnged
In the NEXT State contest II cannot fail 10 rouse
the pent up spirit Of every American, and they
viii be found In the ranks battling with determined
esergy for the cause to which they are so deeply
devoted. No one feels dlsheartened ut the result,
but are 6Ied now more than ever, with the deter
mination TO fight In the glorious cause, and, II
need be, 10 rid US at once and forever from some
Of those disgusting eIcrescences upon the moral
face Of the community, whose viiianies have pro
duced these results.

The Editor of the Truth.

Mr.. Robertson complains that our late Local
editor represented him as "a very abusive man
when excited He says he follows the in.
junction OF the Apostle Paul, Be ye angry
and sin not"--snd that, though sometimes
angry, he is not abusive Now, who knows
better than the editor Of the TRUTH Certainly
no one, and hence our local editor was mis-
taken, and the editor Of the Truth, even wher
excited, is "ss wise as serpent and as harm
less as dove" We trust the man Of truth
will consider this an "amende honorable" fol
our local editors outrage upon him

E The Alexandria Sentinel Of yesterday
contains letter from one Samuel Gibbons, Of
Willow Grove, Page county, Va, defending
himself against rumored charge Of fraud
touching some wagers on the vote Of Page
county, in which letter he alludes to "a GER
tain individual Of Organ notoricty." II Mr..
Samuel Gibbons, Of Willow Grove, Page coun.

forel We did not know that any such man
existed until we read the Sentinel on yester-
day. His Nominations therefore are not only
misdirected, but harmless.
We have, Il is true, heard il stated, and have
heard Of circumstances inducing the belief, in
our mind, that there was misrepresentation
practised by some one, in reference to matters
in Page county; but by whom, II by any
body, we have no grounds for expressing any
opinion.
We intend to have the matter investigated,
and IL we become satisfied that any fraud wns
practised, we shall unhestatingly say so, and
take the consequences when they come five

city, Just after the election, said enough boast
ingly to justify an inquiry into the matter,
which inquiry, at our leisure, We shall as

II hasten to deny the truth Of the report in toto
At the meeting Of the Academy Of Medicine, this
evening, inquired of many present, and nothing
of the kind exists or has been seen in this city
T. The report arose from the existence Of some
half dozen cases of an eruptive disease called
Pustuls 1fdligns. A few cases existed last year.
1t is characterized by the appearance of pimple,
rapidly increasing in size to that of an ordinary
boil with symptoms resembling those Of a carbun.

turbance. One or two Of the cases have recovered
but they have generally been fatal in few days

Springs Retinue.


Father Winter moped in the woods all day,
His trunks ali packed for the going away;
And he grimly smiled as he touched his hat,
Adieu to the hearths at whose blaze he sat.
Dame Spring. mischieveus, in frolicsome way,
Tripped up fora tweak Of his beard so gray;
He patted her cheek. and he touched her ear,
And he dropped on her bosom an icy tear.
He hath gone, and the sunbeams warml y shin,
Aslant on the hills of the river Rhine; -.
With violet steps on the doors Spring drums,
From cellar to garret the knocking huns.
And servants many hath she in her way
Wherever each knocked. admit straightway;
Autumn hath only Sir .Boreas Blast
Winter Sir Frost, with the brow overcast
Spring hath the Morning Wind blithe and wild:
He, Of the Spring is the frolicsome child;
And her Sir Sunshine, in genial advance,
With lustrous beam for the tipof his lance.
And there Flower Fragrance with air so sweet.
And here purliDg Brook, with she pearly feet;
While Blossom and Budler twin homage lend
In the train of VerdHe, the DANES best friend.
Oh, charming retinue travels with Spring.
As their violet knocks through the mansion ring
An echo of welcome all souls shall bring
And the doors fly open for blithesome Spring.
