PLATFORM OF TAE SAN FRANCISCO Dem
OCRATs.-The Union Democratic Convention
of San Francisco have adopted the following
resolutions as their PLATFORM
Resolved, II at this war is waged to maintain and
secure the Union and the Constitution, and with
them the unity Of the American people over every
loot of American so; and in prosecuting it for those
great purposes, tie Government will Le sustained by
the whole power and resources of the country, on
sea and on land in every extremity, and against
every foe at home and abroad.
Resolved, That the of the Union is the Sc
of no party; aud that the claim Of the Republican
Fusion leaders to have it in their special keeping,
and to malign all who do not follow them, is an un-
founded pretense, unjust to the loyal Democracy Of
the State aud paltry and unpatrotc device to coin
partisan selfish advantages out of the devO.
tion Of the people
Resolved That while the people Of this city and
county will checrfully bear their portion OF the
penses of the war, they will demand more than ever
while it lasts the strctest economy in State To-
cal government and they will justly regard the con-
tnuauce in the Legislature OF the special and waste
ul legislation which has been to this hour the bane
OF the State and especially Of this city, greyOus
wrong to them and little better than indirect treason
10 the country
ResOlued, That now and always we are opposed in
1exibly to the granting away TO any person or com
pany the franchise for a bulthead sea-wall in this
harbor to the great injury OF the city. her rights in
terest and commerce; and to all inspection other
laws which interfere with the freedom Of trade or
bestow exclusive priv ileges few at the cost of
the many.

, since the morning Of the 18th:

THE MILITIA RoLL.-As will be seen by a
notice in another column, the militia roll for
this county has been made out, and is now in
the hands of the Clerk for public inspection.
There are 4, ,l4o names on the roll which we
think is rather less than the number of per-
sons in the county subject to military duty.
The roll, however, will be corrected by the
Board of Equalization next week, and parties
who are exempt by law, if any such there b.
can have their names stricken from the roll,
by adducing proper proof. The prospect of a
draft being called for, excites considerable in
terest in the militia roll for this year; and if
there is any drafting there is nothing like hav-
ing long roll to draft from.
POLICE ITEMs.-S. Richardson and T. F.
Hutchinson, arrested yesterday by Marshal
Davidson, for fast riding and brought before
Justice Kendall, plead guilty, were fined So
each, and discharged on payment of the same.
John Senner and Peter Rinnard, arrested by
officer Knerr for disturbing the peace, plead
guilty and were fined So EACH Jas. Coffee,
arrested by officer Scott for disturbing the peace,
and H. C. Kilmer, for assault and battery, were
assessed in the same sum, and discharged on
payment Of the same.
TEA PARTY.-The ladies of the Baptist
Church have made arrangements to give a tea
party on Thursday evening next 1t comes off
at the church, corner of Pine and Spring streets
and an agreeable reunion is anticipated. Tick

Federal POLL TAX.-Tbe Marysville APP
peal, which probably got its information
from official sources, says, Of the collection
Of the Federal poll tax:
The largest collections made are in round
numbers as follows, all during the month Of
July, except when otherwise specified: Yuba,
So, 300; Sacramento, s. 800; Ell Dorado, $1,000;
Sonoma, $500; Calaveras, ST 900; Butte,

San Francisco, (June) S3,60O; Nevada, Dune
and JULY Sc 800. Nevada is so far ahead. The
receipts were issued to the several counties du-
ring the month Of June, hence from most of the
counties there were no returns for that month;
but San Francisco, it will be seen, sent IN
$1,000, and $4,000 of Nevada's payment was
collected in that month.

What Prentice SAYS.

Parson Brownlow says of the rebellion and its
originators 81 know the origin ofthe rebellion,
and know the originatorS; and nothing short of
an old-fashioned orthodox hell, that burns with
fire and birthstone, will reward them adequately
for their service" We shall not venture TO dis
pute this judgment We are no parson as Brown
low is.
The complaint about the running of the
blockade will not last much longer. Soon a
large number of powerful vessels will be added
to the blockading fleets, rendering ingress and
egress impossible to the rebels and their friends.
Thea the rebellion will be cut off from almost its
only present support.
If the rebels among us seek to have the war
brought to our doors, they may find another and
more righteous kind of war brought to their own
doors and into their houses before they expect it.
A good many rebel watchers for Morgan are
probably as much watched as watching.
At Memphis and Nashville the sending off reb-
el sympafhizers South is kept up. If citizens
give evidence of disloyalty, General Sherman
and Governor Johnson say-"Go to Dixie r-an
improvement upon the old and somewhat kindred
expression.
A draft may be as necessary as taxes A peo-
pie cannot be relied on to furnish voluntarily the
men necessary for a war any more than they
can contribute voluntarily the money needed TO
support the Government
| The Richmond Examiner says that Breckin-
ridge achieved great honor at Baton Rouge
| But he didn't achieve Baton Rouge
If some of our armies continue stagnant much
longer we should think they would find them
selves covered with green slime.
Men who talk to encourage treason deserve
that the hangmans moose should strangle their
words in their windpipes.
If our rebels growl and bark now, we guess
they will howl by-and-by-howl like dogs or der
wishes.
They say that Breckenridge in bis late battle
lost an arm. We trust that in his next he viii
lose an army.
Those who do not respect their obligations
when placed under bonds should be placed IN
bonds.
At present. the Dismal Swamp is far from be
ing the most dismal part of poor Virginia.

An ENGLISH Carte de visite.

Macmillans Magazine exults in contributor
who betrays his kindly feelings for America in
the following gentlemanly and elegant portrait of
Mr.. Lincoln:
To say that he is ugly, isnothing to add that
his figure is grotesque, is to convey no adequate
impression. Fancy man six feet high, and thin
out of proportion with long bony arms and legs
which somehow seem to be always in the way ;
with great rugged furrowed hands, which grasp
you like vice when shaking yours; with long
scraggy neck and chest too narrow for the
great arms at its side Add to this figure a head
cocoa-nut shaped ard somewhat too small for
such stature, covered with rough uncombable
Lair, that stands out in every direction at once
face furrowed wrinkled and indented as though
it had been scared by vitriol high narrow
forehead, and sunk deep beneath bushy eye
brows; too bright, somewhat dreamy eyes that
seem to gaze through you without looking at you !;
few irregular blotches of black bristly hair in
the place where beard and whiskers ought to
grow; a close-set, thin Tipped, stern mouth with
two rows of large white teeth, and nose and
ears which have been taken by mistake from
head of twice the size. Clothe this figure, then,
in long, tight, badly fitting suit of black, creased,
soed, and puckered up at every salient point of
the figure (and every point of this figure is sal
ientD put on large, ill-fttng boots, gloves too
long for the lorg, bony fingers, and puffy hat,
covered to the top with dusty, puffy Grape; and
then add to all this an air of strength physical as
well as moral, and strange look of dignity, cou-
pied with all this grotesqueness, and you will have
the impression left upon me by Abraham Lincoln. "

BurYing and Marrying.

An English paper says that recently an old man
named Cherrett, residing at Canford Mullen, Eng
land, had the misfortune to lose his wife, and in
proof of his affection for her whom he had sworn
at he altar to love and cherish through life, he
performed the last sad office in his power for her
remains by himself making the coffin. The fune-
raj took place few days afterwards, and when
the inconsolable wdower went to the clerk OF
Canford Parish to pay the expenses, be stated,
amid the tears that rolled down his cheeks with
great profuson, that to save time he might per-
haps as well do Two things at the same time as
one, now he was there. The clerk looked some
what amazed, wondering what the two things
were, when the old man informed him that he
would pay for the banns being published of mar
riage to a second wife. The fact is he had fallen
in love with the woman who refused his first love-
The reason he gave for his haste in contracting a
second marriage was, that the cherry season was
coming on, and he had no one else to keep the
birds from his cherry trees.

falling of the fractional blocks on the land in
question was the result of accident rather than
design. We do not think the falling of frac-
tional portion of a survey made before the survey
of the Township, upon legal subdivision, of suf-
fcient Importance either to authorize its entry as
town-site, or to exclude it from private pre-
empton, especially as the survey has not been
followed by building upon said blocks, or by any
other acts indicative of an intention to claim said
land
See Testers Land Laws page 492, No. 493,

1t is however urged that there is church and
graveyard on the land in question which are used
by the citizens of Wala Walla. The evidence
of A. B. Roberts clearly shows that the church
was erected on the ground after obtaining his
consent, he being the claimant OF the land at that
time, and that neither the church nor the gray E.
yard were established at the instance of the
county or city authorities. We do not regard
either the church or the graveyard as establish
ing the right of the city to the land in dispute,
and we are of the opinion that the city has failed
to establish such right
There were other points noticed by the attor-
neys on either side, but the above are all that we

Public Writer.

A somewhat-noted writer for the Boston press,
who died several years ago, was on one occasion
found in the street intoxicated and taken to the
watch-house, where he was kept over night. On
being brought before the police magistrate, next
morning. he had become partially sober, when the
following dialogue took place: Magistrate
swell, prisoner, what do you do for living P"-
Prisoner-"I am public writer" Magistrate
-"And, pray, what do you find to write aboutP"
Prsoner-"A little to commend, much to CEN
sure, and very much to laugh at" Magistrate
"Umph! and what do you commend ?" Priso-
ner ga handsome woman that will stay at
home an eloquent preacher that will preach a
short sermon; and fool who has sense enough
to hold his tongue" Magistrate-"What do
YOU censure ?" Prsoner-"A man who marries
girl for her fine dancing working-man who
believes in the sympathies of professional gentle
men; a youth who studies law or medicine while
he has the use of his hands; and people who
elect drunkard or a bockhead to any Office
Magistrate-"Wh do you laugh atP" Priso-
ner-"I laugh at a man who expects his position
to command that respect which his personal quail
tiles and qualifications do not merit" Magis-
trate-"Oh perceive that you are an utterer
of pithy sentences; now l am about to enter one
that will surprise you." Prisoner-"A pithy SEN
tence from your honor would, indeed, be a mat
ter of astonishment"-M agistrate-"My sem
tence is that you discontinue writing for the term
of thirty days, while you rest and recruit yourself
in the House of Correction" So he submitted
to the requirements of the Vagrant Act, and re-
tired from the halls of justice, in company with
the officer, without another syllable,

TROUTING.-We have friend who is a some
what practical joker, residing in pleasant coun-
try residence near this city. Some time since he
had visit from Professor Wingate. The Pro-
fessor is keen trout fisherman, and seeing
pond at some distance from his residence, he in
quired, "Can you fish for trout in that pond ?"-
30. YES. said R., "as well as not" possible I!
where's your rod P" Il have none. I'm no fish
erman. But if you want to try, we'll 60 over to
s., and get tackle, and you may try your
hand at it." The next morning early w. drove
over to the pond, and whipped it all around to
windward and leeward, and finally waded in up
to his waist, and threw his flies most skilfully, but
never raised fin. At length, as the sun grew
tolerably hot, he turned to R., who lay under a
tree, solacing himself with book and cigar,
and exclaimed: 81 don't believe there is a trout
in your pond" 81 don't know that there is" re-
piled R.. imperturably. "Why, yo1 told me
there was !" "Oh no" said R., leisurely turning
and lighting another cigar, ''you asked me if you
could fish for trout here, and said you could as
well as not. I've seen folks do it often, but new
CT knew Of one being caught here"
