SAN FRANCISCO DISPATCH.


San Francisco. May S.-The street labor
ers all over the city struck, yesterday, for the
eight-hour system, and knocked off work.
The street contractors held a meeting last
night, and agreed to work ten hours, paying
the men 20 cents an hour.
Last night some men belonging to Engine
Company No. 2, went to the clstern at the
corner of Bush and Montgomery streets, to
pump it out. Upon raising the cover and
putting lantern in the cistern, terrific ex-
plosion occurred, badly burning four men
about the face. The cistern had not been
opened for long time, and was filed with
fire damp.

The mountain has labored and
brought forth-two mice! Grant and
Colfax are now Radical nominees
the first for President, the last for Vice
President of the United States. The
Platform on which they stand is full
of glittering gcneralities, verbose and
vaguely stated but still it is clear
and plain enough that they are in ia
vor of, 1. The Reconstruction policy
of Congress; end. Negro Suffrage
and Negro Eqaullity generally 3rd.
The exemption of bondholders from
taxation ; 4th. The liquidation of the
principal of the bonds with gold in
stead of ~greenbacks; 5th. The pres
ent grinding system of taxation, with
a few slight and immaterial modiica-
tions.
Let the Democracy now bring out
Pendleton, or some other good man,
and place him upon a Platform antag-
onistic to these dogmas, and Grant
will be nearly as badly beaten as was
Gen. Scott when he ran against
Franklin Pierce. The Radicals rely
altogether on Grants military fame /;
but this will prove to be a broken
reed, on which if they lean it will
pierce them through. The people are
sick of fuss, and feathers, and shout
der-straps, and glittering stars aud
and epaulettes. They want a sound
headed, sober statesman at the head
of national affairs ; and not a nan of
Grants ability and qualifications
We hold, and always have held, that
he is not even a good General. We
know he has been generally success
full but any man, under the same
circumstances, would have been sue
cessful also. In all the engagements
in which he was victorious he had
more men and means at his command
than were opposed to him; he also
had under him some of the best Gen.
erals in the federal army, whose coun-
sci and services were ever at his SER
vice. Under such circumstances, the
poorest Generals in christendom could
gain victories.
If the Democracy can have a fair
canvass and a fair election, Grant will
be most wofully beaten. He will suf-
fer a Waterloo defeat. He will run
we'll; but it will be for a bottle Of
whiskey and a soup tureen!

HARVEY SMITH THE BOLTER.

1t is not necessary that we should
dwell very lengthily on the history of
our friend Smith. Almost everybody
in Linn county knows Harvey. He
is now, and for two years past has
been Sheriff of Linn county, and it
would be quite strange if he were not
well known. We need not remind the
voters of this county of the fact that,
for years past, he has preached Dem
ocracy on all occasions-in season and
out of seasonal home and abroad !;
and that, In consequence of the bold
stand he took at the outset of the
war, he was called a "rebel,' ''seces-
sionist,' "traitor," ''copperhead," and
all other opprobrious names usually
applied to Democrats by the "trooly
loilr' Radicals. We need not again
state that, after the County Convcn-
tion had met, he made a speech in the
Court House in which he endorsed It's
action, and pledged himselfto support
the nominees ; and how he repeatedly
stated that he would not be a candi-
date, under any circumstances what
ever, or for any consideration. All
these facts are fresh in the minds of
the people; and it is unnecessary that
we should dwell upon them longer
There are, however, some facts in Mr..
Smiths official career that are not SO
generally known, and with which it
is important, and right, and proper
they should be made acquainted. Any
mans public acts are public property,
and are therefore legitimate subjects
of investigation and discussion, par
ticularly if he be . candidate for one

HOW WILL THEY VOTE

We are told that Harvey Smith aud D.
Mansfield both claim to be good Demo-
Gratis, Notwithstanding they have bolted
and are running on the black ticket. We
are told that Harvey Smith declares that
he will vote the Democratic ticket, Irvine
included. How will Union men like that ?
Will they vote for him? And if he votes
the Radical ticket will any true Democrat
vote for himH Not much.
These men, Smith and Mansfield, ought
to be made to vote early in the day. Lot
chem show their hands. If they vote
against Democrats, no good and true Dem
ocrat will vote for them; if they vote
against Union men, no man of that par
W ought to vote for them. 1t is for the
interest of both parties to insist that they
both vote early. Make them show their
hands.

cident to intemperance and debauch-
cry. But could this always be said
of him? Is it not q notorious fact
that he is at times one of the hardest,
most reckless of debauchees Is it
not true that at times he gets beastly
drunk, and while in this condition is
guilty of nearly all the follics and in
decencies usually resulting from such
inebriation ? What %surance has
any one who votes for Logan that he
will not get drunk if elected to Con-
gress? 1t is hard for q sober man to
goto Congress and come home with the
same habits of sobriety. How will
such a man as Logan be able to ab,
stain? Will he not more probably do
as Yates and others arc doing-keep
so under the influence of liquor as to
incapacitate him for the proper dis
charge of official duties, aud nus to
disgrace his constituents?

This same convict was in the war, and was wound
