them, with the chances strongly in favor Of
the latter. Neither interest or principle ap-
pears to me to interfere in the matter, and /
therefore lay back on my dig, look on COM
placently and dispassionately, as an unbought
American sovereign should, and say ",When
your game is made, spisi!" OF all the mixed
afairs'in this world, this present Senatorial
fight takes the premium. Every striker Of
note in the city and State has been engaged
BY at least n Of the candidates-many BY
two or three; and I have heard Of some or
them Boosting that they had the whole lot Of
them on q string, like % many catfish.
GONE TO THE INTERIOR.
Miss King, who made so striking hit in
the line Of elocution and public reading in
San Francisco, has started for the interior,
and will, in due, time. give your citizens a
chance to hear her and judge OF her quality.
THEA7RlcALs.
The "Working Men Of San Francisco"
translated from the French and adapted for
the stage for Miss Laura Keene, with local
scenery, ETC., etc, Is now on the boards at
Maguire's. 1t is admirably cast and played,
but is so utterly absurd and unnatural in
every particular that it cannot be a success.
In one Of the scenes an interior view OF a
machine shop is given, the engines and other
machinery all running as natural az life"
and many other scenes are gotten up with
great care and much expense, but for all that
the piece 10 a failure. The production Of
Twelfth Might" at Wheatleigh's, with UNI
usual care and an unexceptionable cast, has
been attended with moderate success pecu-
niarily speaking. The representation Of the
character Of Sir Andrew A~guecheek-a very
difficult one, by.the .by-by Mr.. Percy, is
remarkably good; one of the best things l
have ever seen on the stage, l might say,
and is the more noticeable from the fact that
in the ordinary run Of stage business he is
rated generally as rather slow; a sort Of
stick, not to put the matter too roughly He
has, however, made n decided hit this time,
and it is not too much to say that he has
demonstrated an ability to: perform the
Shakspearian characters, Of the Master Slen-
der and Shallow style, 10 perfection. Wheat
leigh as Marolio is immense. When this is
Withdrawn We are to have q new Irish sensa-
ton piece, "O'Briap the Last Of his Race"
II l had my way / would have suggested o
slight variation in the title, viz: "O'Bryne,
or the Last Of his Race" and | think a large
number OF San Franciscans would have been
glad to attend the representation. However,
l am not panagero OF the Eureka and don't
presume to dictate to the man who pays the
bills and ought to know best what he wants.
WELL DONE AT LAST.
Amer over a week Of delay, waiting on our
slow going city officials to take the initiative
and do something, the people Of San Fran.
cisco suddenly took the matter into their own
hands, and gave General RosecranS a well
come, last Saturday night, which was q well
come, and one to be proud Of. I am glad it
came off as it did, and extremely glad that
the demonstration was one to do credit to
San Francisco.
SINGULAR LIBEL SUIT.
One Of the most remarkable libel suits ever
commenced in San Francisco was filed on
Monday last. The. Bulletin had employed
Mr.. Marsh, the shorthand writer, to make 4
full report Of the trial of E. P. Clark, on the
indictment for embracery, in the County
Court, it being charged that Clark was one Of
the jurors who received money from Frank
to aequit him on the indictment for forgery
in the Utah mine swindle. Marsh made a
full report Of the. testimony, charge Of the
jury, ETC., and when the jury went out left
the room. The jury returned in five minutes
with a verdict Of " not guilty." and were dis.
charged. The reporter Of the Call, in allud-
ing to the trial, next morning, accidentally
omitted the mot" and thereby changed the
appearance Of matters decidedly. The mis-.
take was discovered as soon as the Call was
issued, and was a common theme Of street
conversation all day but, unfortunately, Mr..
Marsh in writing up his notes in haste for
the Bulletin this evening, looked in the Call
for the verdict, and gave it as /" guilty" hay-
ing heard nothing Of the mistake, and sup
posing that it was all correct. The result
was that the Bulletin has a $50, 900 libel suit
on it, hands, and although a judgment for
heavy damages seems an impossibility under
the circumstances the matter is-an extreme
ly vexatious one, and the mistake is not one
Of those which even the wcalthiest Gun afford
to indulge in often.
ANOTHER TERRIBLE CALAMITY.
Again is our city in mourning. Another
terrible calamity. has, befallen our communi-
ty, and all hearts are in mourning. Two
hundred souls-old .men, young men, brave
soldiers, statesmen, merchants, swart sons
of toll, fair women, tender children-have
gone down to the bottom Of the sea in the
Inflated Brother Jonathan, off the Northern
coast. Gloom is upon every face, anxiety in
every heart. In all our wide community it
is DOUBTFUL if there are fifty people who had
no friend, acquaintance or relative on board,
and from highest to lowest, no rank or sta
ton in society has been spared all have felt
the blow alike. The brief news arrived late
last night, and all the particulars yet known
will be found in the Alta Of this morning. II
is useless for me to- dilate on the subject /;
you have It all so far as it is received up to
this moment. Would to God that there
might be ground to hope that more were
saved, but l fear there is none. The mes
sengcr who brought the news to Jacksonville,
Oregon, from whence It was telegraphed here,
left twenty four hours after the catastrophe,
and il more had been saved he could hardly
have failed to know it at that time: I have
no heart to write further il I had time, which
I have not. Adios. AMIGO.
