SATURDAY MORNING, DEC. II, 1859.
The Game of Brag.

We do not remember that we have ever known
the " brag game brought into such extensive
use as it is at present by the friends of certain
Senatorial aspirants. The friends of Weller VOW
and protest and swear that his chances are bet
ter than anybody's, and get mad and threaten
to fight any one who presumes to doubt the
truth of their protestations, or their belief in
their truthfulness. These confne their anathe-
mas particularly to Denver. In fact they appear
to be laboring under the impression that Denver
is Wellers only opponent They thus, by the
exhibition of an undue anxiety to impress upon
the public mind the belief that Gov Weller is
Overwhelmingly strong, confess their doubts and
exhibit the real weakness of their favorite. By
singing out Denver as the especial object of
their opposition, they show their fears that he
is the Democratic champion who will play
the part of Achilles to their Hector. WAS it
not Achilles who Stayed Hector before the gates
Of Troy2
As the Senatorial fight stands now-accord-
ing to our information-Gen. Denver's chances
for election are almost two to one against. He
will certainly 90 into the fight with the big
psst number of votes. Weller's friends have
beea very busy circulating the impression that
he will lead on the first ballot, and that he can
only be defeated by a combination of the weaker
candidates. That they will find tn emselves
egregiously mistaken we are quite sanguine.-
"Brag" is undoubtedly good running dog un-
til the time for action arrives, then he is gene
rally found tagging behind among the ours.
The Dragging friends of Washington, Baldwin
and others act more generously than the intem-
perate and unwise friends of Weller. While
they stoutly maintain the superior claims, abili-
they do not abuse other aspirants. Such con-
duct is fair and gentlemanly.

Esas~ The S. F. Times, Republican, says that
Peachey paid the Germans of San Francisco for
their votes, but refused to pay the Irish, for the
reason that they would vote the Democratic
ticket any way These Black Republicans ap-
pear to have high estimation of the intelli-
gence and honesty of our German and Irish
population 1t is not surprising that in Massa-
chusetts they have passed law enabling ne
groes from the South to vote in one year after
their arrival, and compelling the Irishman or
German to be in the State two years, after OBJ
tanning naturalization papers, before he can vote.

Slightly Erroneous.

In the Beacon of Wednesday, the editor COM
menced the publication of Wellers record. Here
is one paragraph:
> "The General Government assumed Cali
War Debt of 1924, 900, bat it was never
applicable until Mr.. Weller had an explain
act passed, which allowed bond-holders to
ler money, and relieved theState ofabout
200 interest money per month"
The idea of giving Mr. Weller the credit for
the passage of this bill is most ridiculous. Sam.
b. Smith, of Marysville and Gen. Denver, were
appointed, by the California Legislature, "a
Board of Commissioners of the War Debt of the
State of California" to prosecute before the
Secretary of War of the United States, or any
officer or Department of the General Govern
ment the claims of the State of California, for
moneys expended, or expenses incurred, in the
suppression of Indian hostlities within the
State" &c. Sam. B. Smith at once repaired to
Washington, and in conjunction with Gen. Den
ver entered upon the arduous labor The
explanatory act which the editor gravely init
mates Mr.. Weller alone had passed, was the re-
suit of sundry months of hard labor on the part
of the Commissioners. These gentleman worked
night and day to secure its passage. With SEN
ators as we'll as Representatives vast amount
of lobbying" was performed, especially by Mr.
Smith. Indeed the bankers in New York and
Washington, who owned the most of he eviden-
ces of this particular indebtedness, had to.throw
all the weight of their influence in favor of the
bill before it found its way through both Houses.
These gentlemen bankers, in thus bringing that
influence to bear, spent not less than 500, 900
in clean cash. How that amount was expended
or distributed is neither here nor there 1t was
the Black Republican Congress that contained
band ofsome thirty-odd Congressman who were
leagued together for the purpose of extracting
toll from every bill with money in it. 1t is rea-
sonable to suppose that they did not permit this
bill to pass quietly and without terms.
How absurd, in view of these facts, to attrib-
ute the passage of this bill to Mr. Weller simply
because he may have introduced and voted for
it, He doubtless aided its passage, but not SO
much perhaps as either of the Commissioners,
or the bankers Corcoran, Riggs, &c.

THE S. F. HERALD.-We had the pleasure of
visit on Saturday last, from Terence Foley,
Esq, business manager of that long established
and very able Democratic San Francisco daily,
the Herald Mr.. Foley is on tour making ar
fragments for a more extended circulation of
that paper in the interior. The Heraldis edited
by John Nugent, than whom there is not an
abler man connected with the California press
The Herald is model Democratic paper-high-
toned, courteous and never scurrillous, which
can be. said of but few OF the San Francisco
dailies. For the business man, as well as for
the politician, the Herald will be found a most
useful daily visitor. Its Commercial Depart
ment is presided over by perhaps the ablest
commercial editor in San FRANCISCO We, there
FORE do not hesitate to recommend the Herald
to any of our friends who desire to subscribe for
a San Francisco daily paper.

New YORK ELEcTIoN.-The Democrats and
Republicans each nominated full tickets in this
State The Americans met in Convention at
Utica, and made up ticket composed in part of
the nominees of each OF the other tickets it is
this ticket-the Utica or American ticket-that
has been elected Those of the successful ticket
chosen from the Democratic ticket, areelected by
about 1000 majority. Those selected from the
Republican ticket are elected by near 80, 900
majority. The Republicans have about 35 900
majority on their State Senators. Neither party
has much to crow over in the election. The re-
suit shows that the Blacks had more votes than
the Democrats, and probably fatally damaged
Mr.. Dickinson's prospects at Charleston. The
National Convention will not give his claims Sc
rious attention unless that body is given the
proper assurances that he can carry his own
State. In the face Of the recent result. can anv
such assurances be given?

weller VS.. Denver.

The Red Bluff Beacon processes great admira-
ton for Gen. Denyer-thinks him honest and
high-minded," possessed of "many admirable
traits of character" but not qualified for seat
in the U. S. Senate The Beacons present pro-
fessions Of" admiration do not correspond with
its previous talk If we are to judge from the
entire course of the editor on this Senatorial
question, we must understand him to entertain
feelings of entense hatred toward Gen. Denver.
He has spoken of him with greater disrespect
than has any Black Republican paper in the
State How can he admire him?
But why is it, if the editor really feels any sort
of friendship for Gen. Denver, that he is contin-
ually fighting him? Is he Weller's only oppo-
nent? Does the Beacon not recognize such con-
testants as Frank Washington, Judge Baldwin,
DcDougal, Inge and Hoge? 1t would seem so,
for we find that while the editor, in advocating
the claims of Weller land we admit that he does
possess claims upon the party finds ample time
to reflect unfavorably upon Denver, he never has
a word, "good, bad or Indifferent" to say of the
other opponents of his favorite. True, he may
think, as we do, that Weller will be Senator if
he succeeds in defeating Denver. In that event
we admire the editors wisdom in making the
fight against Denver alone, but at the same time
would beg leave, without at all rejecting Upon
his trpthfulness, to doubt the genuinenes9 of
his professed admiration for Gen. Denver.

DEPARTED FOR THE EAsT.-0n the steamer
which leaves San Francisco on Monday next,
two Of our most respected business men take
their departure for their former places of resi-
dsnce east of the Mountains. We refer to Simon
Seelig, Esq, of the firm of Seelig & Levy, and
A. Coleman Esq, Of the Hardware firm of A.
Coleman l. Co.
Mr.. Seelig has done business in this place
since 1852, and has not only succeeded in
accumulating wealth. but in winning the con-
fdence and esteem of the entire community As
business man he occupies 3 proud position,
not only in this place, but in Red Bluff where
he has established. g. branch of his business, as
wellas in Siskiyou and Trinity counties, where
many of his largest customers reside.
Mr.: Coleman has resided in our town some
two or three years. He has succeeded in build
ing up very extensive and most profitable
business He has at the same time won the
respect and confidence of the community Many
of his friends will through this article first learn
of his intention to go east.
1t is confidently expected that both of these
gentlemen will return with those "better halves"
from which they have been too long separated.
