SAN FRANCISCO, September 8, 1870.
WAR ENTHUSIASM.
The war excitement which for the past month
or more has been working itself up to that nde-
finite standard known as fever heat, eliminated
on Saturday in an outburst of enthusiasm that
swept away all minor considerations of business
nouGcing that Napoleon had met with his Water
loo were received with general incredulity, but
az telegram after telegram came in confirming
the intelligence, dense crowds began to assemble
in front of the newspaper Offices, and as the day
wore on Montgomery street became ALMOST i'm
passble. The German stores throughout the
city were at once closed and preparations COM
menced for partial celebration of the triumph
of the Fatberland Soon after dark, bonfres
blazed on the principal streets, rockets, cannon
and fireworks were discharged, many buildings
were brilliant with illuminatons and thousands
of exultant Germans formed in impromptu pro-
cession and marched round to the wel-known
chorus Of " The Song of the Rhine" 1t was
long after midnight before the excitement sub
sided, and even then it was only temporary
intermission. On Sunday illusions were made
in most of the churches to the startling events,
and collections taken up for the German and
French Sanitary funds, the amount to be equally

1t is strange that few words spoken to n
French ambassador on the espanade at Ems two
months ago, should decide the municipal election
of an American city removed by ocean and con-
tinent from the scene Of diplomatic dispute. Yet
the local government Of San Francisco and pos
sbly that Of the State will be controlled by the
circumstance. The very noisy sympathy dis
played by our Irish citizens for the French cause
"A sympathy, by the way, that has been strictly
week, resolved that they would not vote for any
of the Irish nominees on the Democratic ticket.
As no political issue is involved the result will
be gain to good government by the election of
the Taxpayers candidates. majority of whom
have been elected-ED.1

GERS while clearing the streets around the Low
er Station House.
At night, the newly appointed City Council
met and passed an ordinance abolishing the
station houses in the hands of Chahoon's police,
authorizing Mayer Ellyson to call out the Fire
Brigade as police, pledging the city to pay all
the special police sworn in by Eyson, and au-
thorizing the City Court to be held in the City
Hall, and pledging Mayor Ellyson the support
of the Council In his efforts to maintain the
peace of the city against the lawless men con-
spring against it.
The casualties of the day were one man kill
ed and three wouude d.
Both Mayors are acting and holding courts
and Richmond is thus suffering from a dual
government, which, in this ease, Is worse than
no government at ALL.
Chahoon has his headquarters at the Lower
Station House, vhese the military guard is.
Ellyson's headquarters are at the City Hall.
Ellyson's police patrol the city.

to embroil itself in national parties. 1t has to
take care of Its physical il lterests now, and to
use all Its influence to su ppress political distur-

to cur prosperity that there should be no such

The remarkable success which attended our
negotiation of the Loans of the CENTRAL PAcIF-
&c RAILROAD COMPANY and the WESTERN Pa
cIFIc RAILROAD COMPANY, and the popularity
and credit which these Loans have maintained
in the markets, both in this country and Europe,
have shown that the First Mortgage Bonds of
wisely-located and honorably managed Railroads
are promptly recognized and readily taken as
the most suitable, safe, and advantageous form
of investment, yielding more liberal income
than can hereafter be derived from Government
Bonds and available to take their place.
Assured that in the selection and negotiation
of superior Railroad Loans, we are meeting
great public want, and rendering valuable SER
vice-both to the holders of Capital and to those
great National works of internal improvement
whose intrinsic merit and substantial character
entitle them to the use of Capital and the conf
dence of investors-we now offer with special
