OUR SAN FRANCISCO NEWS LETTER

SAN FRANCIsco, Jan. 81, 1868.
FRIEND GORDON As for interesting local
news, there isn't any. The local papers are as
dry as Washoe sage brush. The "Aerolle" " is
played out, at length the sEedaddle man is com
fortaby in jail, and the reporters forced back
to the never. failing subject Of "horse attached
to wagon" The chief item Of interest is
case of smuggling, in which several wealthy
merchants are accused of running a age lot of
cigars through the Custom House on false mani
fest. AS the delinquents are rich, The Bulletin
a very slave Of Front street,does not mention any
names. | shall find them out and advise you.
Tho Bribery Case
Is the engrossing tOpic-of which you have
been informed well enough. Dispatches this
morning say that notwithstanding the dark cloud,
the Phelps men are determined to stick to their
favorite but there is no show of his election at
present These radicals seem resolved to burst
the Union party out and to put fail into the
hands of the secesh tc thrash, withal, next sum
mer. If Phelps were @ man of great ability, such
obstinacy might be tolerable but with his slen-
der capacities the thing begins to look ridicuY
when that gentleman took to politics. Having
failed in his scheme, Park make virtue Of ne
cessty, and drew out just in time to avoid being
thrown out. | hear that he is much disgusted
with Legislative depravty, and is going to teach
Sunday School Had it not been for Custom
House Interference, Phelps had been elected
Sargent would succeed, had he not written let

tion vote. That act was considered mira dig,
and much embttered the Phelps men, Conness
stock is rising here, this morning, but know
nothing of the dips and angles in Sacramento
But shall no longer poach on your Sacramento
correspondents territory--only tell you of gen
eral views here. The call has the following opin-
ion in relation to Conness' chances, which think
very nearly correct:
Conness skirts and those his friends are wholly clear
Of the bribery matter his friends will stick to him
Phelps can get no more votes than he has and
Phelps will vote for Sargent If the Phelps men all
go to Brown, this might elect him. after while but Sar.
gents would put stop to that by eecting Conness
II sargents men attempt to elect Brown man,
Phelps will head them off by going for Conness In
any way the cards can be manipulated in regard to the
present candidates. they must be dealt in such
to give the game to Conness. He will be elected or
some new man will be taken up but most likely the
former
Rising Star.
Sometime ago told you of the pretty young
female lecturer, Sallie B. Goodrich Well, her
friends have advised her to prepare for the stage.

friends is in her novtate for the stage and will

the present monthin the character of Julia in Knowles
