SACRAMENTO CORRESPONDENCE

epistlc, political aspects, both Democratic and
Republican. have changed materially. While
among the former, every honorable eXertion has
been used to bring about united party, the latter
have been sowing seeds OF dscord and dissenson
There is now better prospect of a united Demo-
cratic party, in the coming important contest
than united Administration party. The Butte
county project has succeeded he vond the most
sanguine expectations OF its friends.
CAUGHT A TARTAR.
The Republicans in ignoring their separate
| party organization now very plainly that
| they did IL foolish thing, They were so anxious
| to capture John CONFESS and his followers that
! they were willing TO drop the word Republican"
and adopt Union Administration" The result
proves the policy to have been fatal-at least to
the Stanford faction. The Republicans can now
truthiuly exclaim, 1--WE have met our enemies
and we are theirs John CONFESS, the little
fve-ioot magician. has captured the entire fra

F. +. Low, is playing the Dictator, on the high
est string. His industry and perseverance, ac.
! compShes wonders. Yesterday he was in El
Dorado to-day in Sacramento and tomorrow in
San francisco fixing up delegates. He is irwin
cibie. Wherever John Conness is. there is sure to
be row. His life and existence is opposition.
and in this election he has fixed his pegs to beat
Leland Stanford. He wont be satisfied with
defeating him easily and in sort of n natural
way but he is desirous to use him as rough as
possible, and let him iall heavily. Between him
and the Governor there is the most bitter feeling,
the particular cause of which is not known
CONFESS has said that Stanford violated his
pledges es'-what pledges and when.and where? we
are also in the dark Probably he took some
! hand last winter against Conness in the Senate
rial struggle.

must be Conness judges. A few days ago it was
generally conceded that Republican would get

Guhern.Itorial chair, but see since that Conncss
proposed to fill that place with his old and tried
friend b. B. Redding. of this city. If Redding

PROSPECT OF A ROW.
Next W ednesddy tie socalled Union State
Convention meets in this city. and from the
strength which the Low -Conness party will have
in that body. there is bright prospect of little
row. Conness is not the man to use with discre
tlon the political power he may obtain. The
complexion OF this Convention is now fixed-the
thirty Low-Conness delegttcs from San Francis
co elected yesterday settling the question to a
certainty sThe business now in order is the
selection OF an entire State ticket not among
the delegates-but by John Conness. Whoever
he selects for Congress or a ten years Judreship
must be elected. Whether the few Republicans
who have escaped his snugherng hand and have
squeezed into seat in this body, will quietly
submit to this one mans dichton remains to be
seen. look for some kicking and there is a
good prospect for schism. If Johns high
pressure system of conducting business does not
culminate in Il row then there will be little
Republican spirit with the Republican delegates
to this Convention.
SACRAMENTO UNION COUNTY CONVENTION
At this Convention held in this city last week.
Conness, Redding and company, cleaned Gov.
Stanford in the most electual manner. They
would not even trust Stanford man to go to the
State Convcntion alter being instructed to sup
: port f. +. Low. Ry this arbitrary proceeding,
the Convention was broleu up. and remained in
chaos for whole day. Finally bv the influence
of the candidate for sheriff it was reconstructed
and a county ticket nominated. 1t is a shameful
bantlng, and rests stiff and cold upon the shoul-
ders OF the Union party. There is an effort
making to amend the Assembly nominees. but so
far nothing has been done The Tax PAYERS
Association have the matter und consideration
and propose to match on to the ticket an entire
new delegation. meeting is called for Satur-
day evening for this purpose, but cannot see
how they are to get at it. The most oljectiona-
bic names on the ticket are VIM b. Hunt and
Frank Tukey-and they are not men to resign
rom any means or persuasion. They NAV be
lnduaeu to withdraw from fear, and when
satisfied they are surely to be defeated they may
be got of the ticket.

Business continues dull, and people are con-

which prevailed here two months ago, which led
everybody to invest. has entirely abated and our
little Stock Brokers' Association is in a sorry
condition. The same state Of things exist at San

few months ago, are now sellers, seekers
after iuyers. Everybody has got full of feet y

speculation to the labor of developing the claims.
