We still live in the midst Of excitement, with
THE POLITICAL POT BOILING. The Conied-
crate or Corperhead Peace at any Price,
Union Secesh Democracy, are working win
will for last, grand demonstration on
Saturday night next, when they intend to
equal, il not eclipse, the famous Union
Demonstration Of two weeks since, and Will
probably succeed, at least so far as mere
numbers are concerned. All the idlers and
drones from all parts Of the country, with
which the city is literally Swarming, will be
on hand Of course, and arrangements are
being made for bringing from the surround
ing counties every Cop. who has two legs to
walk on - black.legs not refused that
you need not be surprised to hear by tele-
graph that they turned out ten thousand
strong. In connection with this matter,
will make one prediction. We have been
over-run with incendiaries Of late there
will not be an incendiary FIRE that night, or
robbery committed, of the line of the pro-
cession. People cannot do two kinds Of
work at once to any advantage, you know.
THE FRANKS FORGERY CASE.
wrote you two weeks since some OF the
particulars Of the arrest of the late President
Of the Utah Mining Company on the charge
of forgery and embezzling the company's
funds. Last week the case was dropped from
the docket, and it was reported that it had
! been compromised-but il seems that the
terms of the compromise, if ever made, were
made on one side, at least only to be broken.
The matter went before the Grand Jury, and
outsiders heard no more of it for some days.
Meantime it seems that the heightened ex-
President, Moses Franks, took it into his
head to travel strange countries for to see,'
and both he and his compare Baum, late
Superintendent at the mine, prepared to
Fold their tents like the Arab,
And a. silently steal away
II the facts are as alleged they have been
silently stealing away the companY's sub
stance for some time, but the attempt to steal
themselves away was less successful. Baum
got off, whether overland, by steamer at
sea, or in a private marine conveyance-a
species of Baum boat, SO to speaker other
wise, is as yet uncertain, but it is evident that
he mizzled, vamosed, skedaddled, went, dis.
appeared, and for the time at least vanished
from our sight like beautiful dream or
patent paper stand-up collar in thunder
shower. Frank had bought ticket for
passage to Manila on board the British ship
Marmion, which sailed on Monday, and got
on board unobserved. The ship was under
way, sails filed and shooting gaily down
towards the Golden Gate, and all danger was
past. The bold Britisher called his friend
and passenger into the cabin to take glass
Of sherry in honor Of the event. The glasses
were filled, "bon royage" was said, and the
glasses we're just touching across the table
when dark shadow came down the com
panion-way and fell upon the group. Up
looked Frank with a start Of terror; down
looked officers Mills and Salisbury with
nod of recognition. W-w-w-h-a-t d-d-do
y-y-you wa-wa-want here ?" stammered
Frank. "You!" said Mills, sententiously
drawing the STEEL jewelry from his pocket as
he spoke. The game was up. On Tuesday
Frank came up in the Police Court, looking
like the ghost OF his former self, and tonight
he sleeps in the Hotel de Broadway, the
Grand Jury having returned seven indict-
ments against him. He is married man,
and might have done well in San Francisco !
but he is in fair way Of learning that hon
esty is not only the best policy, out the only
He is, however, not a whit worse than a
number of other mining officers l could name
! If l wished. The case turns out, you will
see, precisely as stated it in my letters two
weeks since.
THE PUBLIC HEALTH.
The health OF the town at present is far
from satisfactory; colds, throat diseases,
pneumonia, coast fever, and cholera morbus,
which has assumed almost an epidemic form,
being very prevalent. The coming OF the wet
seasOn-if we are ever TO have one, OF which
there are now no signs-will probably put an
end 10 most of these ills which now so aff1ict
humanity in San Francisco. We have even
had few cases Of pretty nearly Asiatic
cholera-a good substitute for the genuine
article at any rate-out the report OF numer-
Gus deaths in the city from that source is
certainly unreliable.
BILLY MULLIoAN's CASE.
The case of Billy Mulligsn; who was
charged with burglary committed in con-
nection with DAILY, the prize-6ghter, was ex-
amined at great length in the Police Court
Yesterday, and the charge finally dismissed.
Il appeared from the evidence that Mrs.
LYONS, who keeps a deadfall saloon at No.
own testimony sleeps in the same room with
a man well known among the desperadoes of
the city, has ali adopted daughter some four.
teen years Of age, young looking and small
! for her years, who sleeps in the basement Of
the building, while the woman named sleeps
upstairs over the bar-room. The woman
was few mornings since awakened by q
noise in the basement at 4 A. NJ, snd running
down. stairs, found Billy and DAILY fighting
together, the latter having his coat and boots
off, while the former was fully dressed. On
being Intercepted by the police, Mulligan
stated that DAILY, with whom he had been
around town on the previous evening. had
entered the premises through the window,
and he, thinking that he went there to steal
chickens, broke in the door to prevent his ac-
complishing the theft. He further stated
that he suspected DAILY Of desire to commit
an outrage on the child, who was sitting up
in bed calling for help; that he pulled him
out from under the bed, threw q pail Of water
over him, and told him that he must 60 up
stairs at once before the girls mother and
explain his conduct. Whether either Of
these stories explain the true cause Of the
scuffle between the. two, may we'll be doubt
ed. 1t appeared from the woman's testimony
that pair Of game cocks, given her BY Con.
Mooney, were really in the back yard at the
time, but that there was no necessity for their
entering the house il that was what they were
after. The child testified that Daley-who
has not been found by the police-on pre-
vious occasion entered her room in the same
manner, committed an outrage on her per-
son, and beat her until she promised not to
inform her adopted mother Of the fact. The
charge of burglary against Mulligan was dis
missed, but if DAILY is caught a more serious
charge will be preferred against him. 1t a
strange case in all its details. Billy's NOUS
tache is twisted as fercely as in the palmy
days Of his political and pecuniary prosperity,
and his hair il as long and curly as it was
before the shears of the New York State bar
Der at Sing-Sing went ruthlessly through it.
ANOTHER MISCARRIAGE.
