OUR SAN FRANCISCO LETTER.
SAN FRAKcIsco, July 23, 1870.
THE CHINESE, ETC.

The annals of sublime efrontery show M
cooler assumption of delegated authority thar
the resolutions passed by the Californian Girls
pins at their last great anti-Chinese demonstra
tion. Not content with the power given then
by the ballot, or the right of protest and petit
ton, the demagogues who unfortunately sc.
lected by the workingmen as their leaders pro-
posed and Of course carried resolution author
isug Wnn to take upon himself the duties OF
the United States President and Senate, and in
form the Imperial Government Of China Uhrough
the Six Companies) that 1t Is not safe for the
Chinese to continue coming to this country.
Ia compliance with this modest resolution,
Winn has issued his proclamation to the heather
intmatiag very plainly that if they will desc
crate shores the power Of the United States
will not be sufficient TO protect them from the
valiant army under his command He saws
When legal means were too slow, the people
would not wait, and have often visited Justice
upon wrongdJers. They have taken life without
law, ana often inAict punishment before Govern
%ent can prevent it, We counsel moderation
but our voice for peace will scarcely be heard in
the shouts of an excited populace."
In addition, Carley and Mooney boldly adyo-
cate policy Of determination. The former says
that he is prepared to dispute every inch of
ground, burn every blade Of grass, and the last
Dtrenchmcnt of liberty shall be his grave
though what the blades of grass have done in
connection with the Chinese question, that they
should be burned, is not at all manifest
Mooney is openly for civil war. The last pro-
cession under his guidance amused itself by
firing yoleys of stones, mingled with an occa-
sional pistol shot, at all the Chinese washhouses
on the line of march, and as he has promised to
ship all the celestals back to their own country
within three months of his accession to the
Gnberpatorial office, it is evident that only want
of ability prevents an Immediate execution Of
his warlke threats.
1t is commonly believed chat this man Mooney
is playing very deep game. Since the defeat
Of McCoppin for Mayor last Fall, there has not
been proper harmony amongst the Democratic
leaders. McCoppin, Mooney and the Monitor as
sert that the lutewarmness of what is called the
Southern wing, was the sole cause of McCoppn's
defeat, and also complain that the Irish element
has been neglected in the distribution Of office
Southern Democrats, headed by the Eraoliaer,
deny that there has been either neglect or un-
fairness in apportioning the spoil but for all
that, the two sections are far from being recon
ciled, and McCoppin, who is the acknowledged
head Of the Irish party, while steadily holding
aloof from nolitirol discuesion q L,rn;r,, a.
impatcnce to revenge tie trcachery (as be calls
iD that led to his rejection for the Mayoralty
Now, Mr. Philip A. Roach, of the Examiner
has already taken prominent position candi-
date for Executive hOnors, and if the McCoppin-
ties can defeat his aspirations, it will salye their
own supposed wrongs and advance the interests
of their chief, who has also an ambition to be
lis Excelency."
With this object in view, it is asserted that
Mooney is put up to bring rdcuc upon a move
ment that is led by the Erdminer people to dis
gust the more conservative Democrats by these
threats of violence, SOW dssention in Roach 5
ranks and thus materially assist the McCoppin
faction in electng their nominee
give you the gossip for what it is worth and
you can take it either cum graao calls or swallow
it without the seasoning.
NEW CHIEF ENGINEER
| may mention that after fight of several
months, Chief Engineer Whitney has been re-
moved and new chief-Chares II. Ackerson-
appointed in his stead.
MODEL PRIZE WHEEL.
will bo rernnn, hered that tho Trustaos oc 1a
Mercantile Library offered premium of $500
for the best model of a wheel to be used in the
distribution of prizes on the first OF next Septem
ber Fifteen models were sent in and a commit
tee composed of practical men was nominated to
pass these machines in critical review. After n
patient and exhaustive trial, they have adopted
the invention of Mr.. NJ. d. Laswell as being best
suited for the required purpose. 1t consists of
n diamond shaped sphere, made of glass,
strongly bound by metal bands, and by means
Of various cranks, shafts and other mechanical
devices, rotates with an eccentric motion that
only one versed in mechanics could properly de
scribe. The ticket receiver of which this is a
model, will have n diameter of five feet one
inch being ten tunes as much as the volume of
the tickets compressed in a compact mass, and
the audience will have good and fair view of
the process of mixing. Crocker of Sacramento
has the contract for furnishing the tickets, which
are to be made of bulls hide, and are expected
to weigh nine hundred pounds. This item alone
costs the managers $500 There is little proba-
biliy that the drawing will take place at the ad-
vertised time, some 80, 900 tickets are yet I'M
sold. ScRlBBLER
Two San Francisco bellies have started a new
fashion. The other day they paraded Montgom-
cry street, and their heads looked like the
heads of two exaggerated millers hair literally
full of some kind of white powder. They created
sensation, and gents with new black clothes
