The following extract from report of a
Union meeting held at San Francisco for the
purpose of choosing delegates to attend a
Union State Convention at Sacramento, Is
from the San Francisco Times. 1t is rich,
whether it is true or not. The PiXley is not
the most remarkable "eretur" on veracity we
ever saw, but he is very graphic.
John IL. Fry, one of the delegates appoint
ed, got up to say he must 90 into this thing
with clean hands. If find Secessionist
here | am constrained to believe there is a
nigger in the wood pile. All honest men
that are not fools are politicians now.
am Informed there is a Secession move
ment in this meeting. |, that SO, Sir. Chair
man. Isthat SO, Mr.. Brown Is that So
Mr.. Voorhies? Brown said nothing-and
the Chairman said nothng-and Noorhies
said, No."
Now, who got this meeting up? | want to
10 know, Mr.. Chairman, who got it up? Bill
" didn't know anything about it, Then
Mr. Chairman, if this is got up to advance
Individuals, III be doGJle darned before 60
on with it.
Secretary-"Did you sign the call ?" "You
bet! didn't read the thing" Loud laugh
ter. That lets you out, Fry
Fry talked long and loud
DR. Barstow made a short speech in lauda-
zion of himself and he made it appear that
he was Il very clever, honest and patriotic
genteman-and that's just cur opinion oI
hm
Mr.. Voorhies said he had recently been on
a political ticket-tcked himself again, and
retired from, the nomination as delegate. If
there were Secessionists in this meeting he
would have nothing to do with it. Went of
into general splurge: toasted the eagle,
bawled himself hoarse, ranted like a sea lion,
rolled like a walrous, complimented the
Breckenridge party, rolled himself in the
American flag and died like a pig in hister-
les SO much for Voorhies.
Mr.. Gould's resolution to adjourn, and lay
the report on the table, and meet at Musical
Nall or Tuesday night again called up.
Harvey Brown made another speech
LOUD long and violent
Nh Gould replied 10y saying we were in
the dark: the call was anonymous, aud look
edsuspicious
Mr.. Mclaughlin made a speech against the
movement, aud said he thought the whole
thing id trick, and, by, he hoped
the thing would be laid on the table
The Secretary moved an amendment.
Voted down.
Mr.. Goud's resolution then was put and
carried and meeting adjourned.
Billy MaXon then made an explanatory
speech for himself, and said he was a Union
man
SO ended the first lesson.
The SCRAMBLE FOR OFFrcE-lt is the inten.
tion of the wire pullers who are managing
the Republican contest to-day, to work a
rbraul l,a min ,ub;oI,ouar
they may prove to be- The plan is ike this /.
the wing that has control of the Convention
will attempt to choose delegates to the State
Convention first, and that accomplished, will
move an adjournment for month or six
weeks, or until after the State Convention
when it shall meet again, to make county
nomination. The object is to have two
chances at the spoils If they do not sue
ceed In nominating their man on the State
ticket, they will claim all the best places on
the county ticket: whereas, if the Conven-
tlon were to finish its business now, or when
1T meets next week. the wing that may be
defeated in the State affairs would claim and
will be entitled to- their choice of nomina-
tions on the county ticketl The minority
had better be on its guard for this ruse, or it
will be slaughtered in everything Sac. Bee,

A MILITARY DICTATOR DEMANDED IN VIRGIL
NTA.-The Richmond Enquirer, which was
Che organ of Senator Hunter while he was
an aspirant for the Democratic nomination
1os President, says:
Why do the wheels of the chariot tarry ?
1he Southcrn States are both traitors and
towards if they do not at once come to the
'front.' All their available forces should be
brought to the banks of the Potomac with the
.east loss of time If President Davis
Is the man for the times, and if the Southern
Ooniederacy Is worthy Of existence, both will
come at once to the front. We will not say
,nat Virginia, like Maryland, will sink on her
knees If left alone, before The North" &c.
\, ana then, in its fright, it demands that the
montgomery conspirators at once resign eve
;;ythlng into the hands of Davis that he may
instantly rush up to the protection of Rich

No power in executive hands can be too
