SAN FRANcIsco, Jan is, 1857.
HON. d. Z. BRoDEBICK-Dea Sir: 1t wa.
always understood that in the event of Mr.
Lathams election you should have the con
trol OF the Federal patronage in California
such at least was the belief of myself and
others, and this belief was derived from the
remarks of Mr.. Latham, on several occasions
and am confident he will not deny the truth
OF the above statement. | saw no improprie
W IN such an arrangement on his part. as
your more enlarged experience in polite.
ana thorough acquaintance with the men o.
California made you the more suitable adviser
OF the Federal Government in this matter
Very respectfully, F. TILFoRD.
MR. BRoDERTcK-Latham says sent for
him. l have no recollection of sent1iuy for
him, but 1 hare a recollection of his coming
to see me. He Gi1 see nc; he did offer me
the entire control of the patronage Of the
Pacific coast Cheers How important,
fellow citizens, it is that Latham should have
good memory. In one portion of his
speech he says that he told me that he would
not give me the control of the Federal pat
ronage of the Pacific coast to be Emperor of
ali the Moguls; yet within five minutes he
told Gen. Estill he would sign such docu-
ment if he (EstilD would draw it up. But
have the extracts from his speech, and
will read them. and call your particular at.
tention to what he said at Nevada:
He then remarked, in sort-as thought
at the time-of joking humor, that Tilford,
to whom had given the pledge to support
him for Collector of San Francisco had been
making great fuss that night about its loss. ?"
| Immediately Informed him that Judge Til
ford had found that. Mr.. Broderick then
went on, treating the subject with no more
consideration than have in relating it to
you.
lie went on TO say Latham have it in
my power TO make you a Senator of the Uni.
ted States" | said Il would be very glad
indeed to have your support. | have relied
upon it, think we could get along we'll to
gether, and | would be glad to have your as.
sistance." lie turned round, with a waive
of his hand, standing as he was, and said "If
you will sit down and write out full relin-
quishment of all your claims upon the FEEDER
al patronage for this State, there will be no
trouble in making you United States Sen
ator." | rose up from the side of the bed
where | had been sitting, and told him that
would not do an act of that kind to be EN-
peror of all the Moguls. Tremendous ap-
plause | told him that such an act upon my
part would not only lose my own selfrc-
spcct but | was satisfied he would have no
respect for me. More than that, | told him
that if | went to the Senate of the United
States, | desired to go there as hiS peer-(and
l want you, gentlemen, to look me straight
in the eye now)-and if he had an instrument
Of that kind in his pocket, which at any time
he could pull out and shake as a rod of terror
over me, | should never feel comfortable in
the position"
Now, always thought that gentleman's
word was as good as his bond; but Latham
not being a gentleman, as a matter of course,
it is n different thing. Laughter
"He said | could not expect him to fight
my battles; that his friends had been depriv-
ed of office for a long period that it was hut
right and proper they should be rewarded"
Now, | will read to you what he says in
relation to the giving away of the offices. He
told Estill that he was ready to sign bond
but he was fearful that the three fellows who
wanted offices would not be appointed
Therefore he was willing to sacrifice himself
to save his friends-his three friends-or his
friend, the friend of Charley Scott-Solomon
who is now the Marshal of the Southern
District of California. [ A Voice-"Northern
California;
Il went from my room and sent for Gen
Estill and Q. L. Scott: Tilford | could moi
find"
No; Tilford was not TO be found, for Til.
ford was his enemy. Tilford had deserted
his friends and made a bargain with Gwin /;
therefore, there was no chance that night to
see Tilford. Laughter.]
an their presence stated in substance
what have recited to you tonight Gen.
Estill, who was an intimate, personal and po-
ltical friend of Broderick, aud his warm sup
porter in all this contest Immediately after
had completed my statement, stopped a mo-
ment-I can see him now as he stood there
and raised his eyes from the carpet and re-
piled"
1t will be recollected that this statement
was made to Estill; therefore, Latham should
huye employed his imagination in finding or
describing some living witnesses-not dead
gentleman.
Il am quite satisfied that as Broderick
made such proposition to you, he is about
to consummate some such arrangement with
Gwin" | said thought it impossible. He
said, 81 will go and see Broderick in relation
to this With that he left me- He went to
soe Brodercll, and have his statement here,
and will read it after have finished my own
recital lie came back in fifteen or twenty
minutes-perhap half an hour-thereafter
said he had seen him (Broderick), and there
was no mistake as regarded his own PROPOSE
ton. Gen. Estill then asked me whether !
intended to stand by what had said in the
presence of Broderck said, with the ex
ception of three offices | had named, | was
ready to concede all the offices in the state
He would not give any, you know, to be
Emperor of all the Moguls
The gentlemen named for two of these
offices were known publicly as his political
friends Gen. Estill said, 81 think you had
better agree to this in writing, if Broderick
will allow you to make the reservation"
replied Internationally, that it was repug-
nant to my feelings. | was unwilling to sign
any document Of this ch racter. If my word
was not sufficient, did not want to reduce
it to writing. lie said 81 will go and see
Broderck, and ascertain what compromise
can be made" | went to bed. Well, it was
very bad time TO 90 to bed"
Well, it was a very bad time to 60 to cd.
When he thought, at least, that he had
very poor chance Of being elected, lac should
have staid awake didn't go to bed for two
nights before my nomination in caueus.-
