The correspondent of the San Francisco Times
gets off the following, which purports to give
conversation between a "Chiv." and boozy
War Democrat, just after Casserly's election:
The latter was endeavoring to convince his
equally boozy companion, that Casserly would
do first rate for the Southern side of the party.
The piquant part of the desultory and OCCASION
ally maudin discourse was in the Chiv. S most
direct reply to the above offer of consolation.
"No, sir, no (hic). What do you take this child
for? Do you (hic) take me for a Chnaman
No sir The RAIDS will have Casserly fore he's
been there term (hic), you see if they don't.
Look-a-here, they amt fools. Who puts 'emup
fools? They amt no Cinnamon. Look-a-
here (hic), didn't Bill Stewart 60 there with his
(hic) tendencies and his pre-predilections, and
his father-in-laws antecedents (hic) all put up
for State Rights Democrat? Hey? Didn't he
20 in for States Rights State Constitution over
in Washoe, in 1863? You bet And (hic) didn't
he start to 60 all correct in support of Johnson
You believe me? Didn't he issue a speech in
dorsing Andy up to the hub? Hey? And (hic)
didn't he thrown Andy in less than a month af
ter that? How did that happen You (hic)-
you knows wells l do. You know. Didn't
those RAIDS get around him and s-o-o-t-h-e him.
and capture him? Hey? Didn't (hic)-didn't
they tell him be was likely to be one of the
greatest statesmen and philosophers that ever
lived, and when (hc) they had nursed him into
producing the universal suffrage proposition,
(hic), didn't they tell him he had become the
greatest philosopher and statesman of his gener-
alton? Hey? And didn't they make him be-
lieve it? And didn't they use him and haint
they (hic) been using him ever since? And
amt (hic)-an't he Radical among Radicals
now? Hey? They're no Cinnamon" q But,
interrupted the other, q with all due regard for
our old acquaintance, Bill Stewart, and suppos-
ing that he has been captured as you say, you
l. I'LL
serly. It's natural to think that Casserly will
not be susceptible to fattery Stewart.
They can't play any soothing game Casser-
ly, whatever they may have done with Stew t."
g They (hic) can't, hey? May be you think
Is Casserly bigger man (hic) than old Reverdy
Johnson? Hey? Casserly wouldn't (hic)-
wouldn't think he was himself Well, hain't
those RAIDS captured Reverdy? Hey? Hain't
(hic)-hain't they got him to send billet ducks
all round the country, Gaping for the Radical
programme? Hey? Hain't (hic) hahn he the
greatest constitutional lawyer in the country
l should say so. WE'LL (hic), they soothed him.
didn't (hic) they? Is Eugene a smarter man
than Reverdy? He (hic) won't say so himself.
Those RAIDS are no Cinnamon. Don't they look
new man (hic) all over when he comes there,
and 60 after him, and if he (hc) can be got
don't they fetch him? tell you what it is, (hic)
those fellows hain't got much, (hic), much sand,
but they've got any quantity of syrup. Hey
You bet you You (hic) believe me, they're no
Cinnamon. l know how it'll be, (hic.) can
tell you just how it'll be when Cassery gets
there, (hic.) l know. They'll tell Cole to be
very gracious, and he'll rush ont to the cloak
room when (hic) one of the pages says Casser-
ly's come. And Ben. Wade will rush out, be
introduced (hic) and give Cassery regular
Pun blechook grip. And then Conklin (hic)-
he IL come out and beg (hic) the privilege of ac-
companying the Senator, thic) with Cole, up to
| he Iaoly vrto ha ic fO 10 ala tha
oath. And Conkln, (hc), he'll commence talk
ing about glorious (hc) old recollectons in New
York (nic) which will have tendency to make
it very embarrassing for Eugene to come out on
his new tack any way. Well (hic) then Cas-
serly II get up in day or two, and introduce a
bill or more to amend the Appropriation Act so
as to set aside FIVE or ten thousand dollars for
revolving Drummond light on Goat Island, and
Fessenden, (hic) and Wilson (hic) and Trum-
bull will jump up at once (hic) and hope-the-
bill 'll-pass-at-once, hope-amendmen ment ll-be
adopted -without-dissent. And then (hic) old
Sumner will get up, and he'll say that he's OBJ
liged to remark that it can't be out of order
(hic) for him to say (hic) right at that point,
that the Senator from California (hic) who spoke
reminds him of some magnificent old Grecian
Roman (hic) that used to be cavorting between
Athens (hic) and tn Eternal city (hic) about
seventeen thousand years fore Christ (hic).
He'll fetch it legitimate you see. Then
they'll have (hic) - they'll have him then.
They'll have him They'll have him! No use
talking to me, (hic). What wanted was to
send man there that they couldn't anodyne
with their bows and with their classical compli-
men,ary blarney (hic.) We wanted to send
Henley or Washington men (hic) who don't
know nothing about Demosthenes (hic) nor Cc-
ero, and don't for 'em, anything else
but old Virginia never tire. Hey? tell you
those RAIDS no Cinnamon They'll have Cas-
| rIv ho ico for fro tarn c\
Didn't (hic), didn't they make Bill Stewart a
Doctor of Laws? Hey? Think of that Hey ?
They're no Cinnamon. They'll, (hic), they II
have Casserly Doctor of Divinity, from Har-
ward you see (hic) if they don't fore next
years Christmas comes. Jim Forney will have
biographies (hic) and eulogies of Casserly as a
Barnburner of '4s, until (hic) you can't rest.
And then those RAIDS will talk the literary side
of the house to him. You needn't (hic) try to
fool us. give him up right now (hc). It's all
nonsense to talk about Casserly being one of us.
If he thinks (hic) he is now, they Il capture him
