LETTER FROM SAN FRANCISCO.
SAN. Francisco, April IL, 1877


EDITOR REGISTER: l fear you he
gin to consider your correspondent
somewhat direlect, but when in Rome
you must do as Romans do. So, fol-
lowing the fashion of the Bay City of
getting out of town, Saturday after
noon, we accepted an invitation to visit
a friend in Napa Valley, and continued
our trip to
CALISToGA SPRINGS.
This is a pretty little place, and
might be called Sam Brannan's Para
disc, were it no for the fact that Sam
is more of that class of angels calcu-
lated to make Rome howl han for run-
ming a paradise. Extensive prepare
tons are being made for tile Summer
travel, and Calistoga mag be a fine
place in which to spend a quiet Sun
day, but as a watering place il don't
suit us.
THE FAIR TRIAL,
Now in the fourteenth day, still con-
tinues to be the center of attraction,
and the Courtroom is daily thronged
with a large crowd of idlers and scan
dial mongers. The papers are filled
with proceedings of the trial, and for
the past week the published cores
pondence has furnished reading such
as we hope may never again be infiict-
ed on any people. Some little excite
ment was caused here blythe annonce-
ment that old-time residents of Nir-
ginia, now in this city, would be called
as witnesses to prove the general
character of the Tahoe House during
the Fair administration. Could those
walls speak and tell of the scenes en-
acted therein during the flush times of
Washoe. they could ale unfold that
would make each particular hair ION
many an old bald headed sinner to
stand on end.
THE POLITICAL POT
Continues to boil at a furious rate, and
somebody's goose will be cooked be-
fore the "slate' is finished. Hon. S.
B. ANtell, Representative in Congress
from this district, is now in this city,
but has not yet been serenaded, which
we believe is the way the Democracy
have now OF expressing their approval
of the acts OF their public servants.
Hon. James Ii. Lawrence. of the Mar
ipoSa Free Press, is now here, work
ing earnestly for the nomination as
successor of AXtcll. Mr.. Lawrence is
we'll known throughout the district,
and being quite popular in the south
ern counties, bids fair to carry OF the
honor of a nomination, if no an cleo
ton. We have heard no particular
person named tor the place on the Re
publican ticket, but presume at the
proper time there will be plenty will
ing to serve the people. The princi-
pal fight, however, will be on Cover
nor, and on both sides it is admitted
that the hOnors will be closely o II
tested.
DISTINGUISHED WASHOEITES
Continue to arrive daily, and we are
!, at a loss to account for this increased
: immigration, unless it is that certain
committees up there are still issuing
free passes out of the different towns.
Among the late arrivals we notice
Secretary of State Minor. Alfred Helm,
John A. Benham, eN-State Printer
MighelS. Tom Julien, Joe Woodwork.

Ii. Haskell and others, besides which
we learn that a lot of Mineral Hill
boys will be down tonight.
: THE OF NEVADA y UTAH
Are attracting considerable attention
just now, and a large number will so
from here to those sections. Almost
daily the different smelling works in
{ .Ii. ,.it,- ra,ai,a iarpn Sln,IiaS fDrfnSt
ing from the many new districts now
being developed in the eastern part of
Nevada and in Utah. We also notice
parties here with patents for new
smelling furnaces. and the indications
are favorable for a year of prosperity
in Tom Eitch'S ''baItle-bOrn child of
the Republic" We are glad to OBJ
serve that our new representative,
who is not owned by any corporation,
has succeeded in getting the resolu-
ton through the House for the APP
pointment of commissioners to eX-
anime the
SUTRo TUNNEL.
We consider this enterprise one of
the necessities of Nevada, as it will,
more than anything else, aid in devel-
oping the millions now inaccessible at
a great depth on the Comstock. A
monopoly may be a goodthing to have
in the family, but it is to be hoped
that the report of the Sutro Tunnel
Commissioners will show that the
people On the Coinstock have had a
little too much of it. We suppose
that a certain paper not thousand
miles trola Gold Hill, which is now
recognized as the subsidized organ of
the capitalists as against the labor or
CARNATIONS of Storey county, will
come to the rescue with dirty filings
and Corral Hollow jokes, but as the
motive forw which everything emanat-
ing from that source is we'll known,
the animus can be plainly ''seen''-
provided the editor is also.
