OLD MAIL Contractors RUINED "A letter
from Washington says: Among the contract
ors who were absolutely ruined by the con-
duet Of the Postmaster-G eneral, in curtailing
their service, were Hockaday Il Leggett. the
contractors for carrying the mail between St
Joseph, Mo-. and Salt Lake City. 1t is really
pitiaLle to contemplate the financial ruin
which the order of curtailment in this case
has oecasioned TO the parties. Congress
promptly passed a bill for their relief award
ing them some $4,000 damages quarter
perhaps, Of what they have lost. Old Buck
would neither sign nor veto the measure, nor
even give in private his reasons for refusing
to sign it. The case is an exceedingly hard
one. Hockaday's mental faculties have been
seriously affected by his pecuniary misfor-
tunes, and it is feared that this last disap
pointment will destroy his reason forever.
Mr.. Leggett, too, few months ago the pos
sessor of an ample fortune, must continue to
drag his way along in hopeless poverty.

ASSUMES TO JuDeE.-The Express assumes
to say that some of the delegates, admitted
at Baltimore were bogus delegates. Every
man' at all acquainted with Democratic
usages, knows that they were regular dele
gates But, aside from all that, we would
like to know whether it was the National
Convention that had to decide who were lie,
gitimates or the Express. We think it was
the province Of the National Convention.

DEMOCRATIC RATIFICATION
MEETING.

The assemblage which was gathered, last
evening, in front Of the St. Nicholas Hotel,
to ratify the nominations of the regular Ma
tional Democratic Convention at Baltimore,
was, we think, the largest meeting of po-
htieal nature ever witnessed in the city. The
people assembled, amid the booming of can
noa and a display of fire works, and soon
filled the streets and side walks, while the
balcony Of the hotel was thronged with
ladies.
The meeting was called to order by Hon.
T. B. Reardan, Chairman Of the Administra-
tion Central Committee of this county, who
nominated DIR. L. Hubbard Administration
President. DR. Hubbard was elected and took
his seat. Chas NJ. Gorham, Esq, was chosen
Secretary. Judge Reardan was then called
for and came forward, giving in his adhesion
to Douglas and johnson, and sustaining his
position in an able and effective speech. lie
was followed by L. D. Wheeler, Esq. in all
elegant manner, and at the conclusion OF his
speech the following resolutions were adopt
ed:
Resolred, That the Democracy Of Yuba
| County, recognise the nomination OF STEPHEN
/ A. DOUGLAS by the Baltimore Convention Tor
! the Office Of President of the United States as
regular and in every resi- ect in accordance
with time honored usage of the Democratic
party. That we receive the same with much
satisfaction and promise the Hero of the
North West most hearty and enthusiastic
support
Resoired, That the nomination of HERscuEL
| v JOHNSON for Vice President of the United
States meets our hearty approval. That we
/ have great confidence in him as a statesman
of much ability and unwavering patriotism.
Resolued, That we cordially accept and
adopt the Platform laid down by the late
National Democratic Convention at Balti-
more, as being purely democratic in spirit
and affirming the fundamental doctrine of
( sovereignty and equality upon which our
| government was originally, founded and
which is the great secret of our national
prosperity.
HeSolued, That for the purpose Of main
tanning the principles embodied in the
Platform we have adopted, and securing the
election Of the candidates mentioned we will
unite as one and make use of all honorable
means to accomplish the end desired.
ReSolved, That we invite all citizens. and
conjure them as they love their country to
unite with us in maintaining the Constitu
tion and the Laws against the Intervention.
lists of both North and South. firmly believ-
ing as we do, that intervention. if persevered
ill., whether it be for or against Slavery. is a,
lever which will ere long sever our long
cherished Union.
Jesse o. Goodwin next nscended the
stand. and delivered u speech in his usual
fluent and impressive manner, and c. L. De
Long followed in his happiest vein. He
concluded by proposing three cheers for
SrEruEN A. DOUGLAS which were given with
will.
The meeting was in every respect decided
and unmistakable success-large, enthusils-
tic and overwhelmingly DOUGLAS. 1t was a
scene that struck terror to the hearts of the
Boilers. Old Yuba may be relied on as GER
tain for the National Democratic ticket.

tute of education or other early advantages,
he has nevertheless, for some years, welded a

cool and very keen political observer; he
reads characters by sort Of intuition; he is
wary and reticent where everything would

GARIBALpIs STRONG MEN.-A characteristic
incident occurred at one of the steepest rocky
eminences which Garibaldi wished to occupy
to obtain a command of positions above Pal
ermo. He had apiece of mountain artillery,
but no means to raise it. While lie was at a
stand at the base of the rough and almost
perpendicular height, two eontddiAa (coun-
trymen) came up, and inquired what was the
cause of delay TEey were brothers, and
possessed the characteristic spirit of the Sic
ilians, with even a superior degree of strength
activity, and power of endurance of the
islanders generally. After a short consulta-
tion between themselves, one of them bent
his manly frame down over the gun, and en-
bracing it as one fliend does another, with
an effort which might be compared with that
of Sampson, raised it to his broad shoulders,
and with a slow, but firm step, commenced
his way up the rocky path. Ills brother per-
formed the same operation with the carriage
of the gun; and both proceeded silently, but
resoutely, up the rocks, Which were so rough
and SO steep that few men, except Siciian
mountainoers, would willingly attempt to
ascend alone The bystanders expressed their
Joy and surprise; but Garibaldi stood gazing
at the noble patriots as if astonished, aud
when he recovered himself, he exclaimed -
