MATTERS AT THE BAY,

A letter from friend at San Francisco,
written August 2nd. contains the following
matters of interest:
TIE long talked of ratification meeting of
the Republicans on last Saturday evening,
was anything but tie SUCCESS they intended
to make it, BY the assistance of outsiders
from Oakland, Vallejo, Sap Jose, Stockton,
Sacramento aad other places contributed to
swell the crowd, but from fair calculation
not ovar 200 or l 400 were in procession.
No enthusiasm vas manifested on the march,
and at the sta.la it appeared to be forced.
The speakers on the four stands held forth
for an hour or 81, when the audience thinned
out, leaving more orators than listeners, when
the affair wound up; all dsinterested ones
agreeing that for all the preparation and
blowing it was a deeidad failure. Only
ninety colored "pussons we're IL li9e on the
march through MoatGg22lery street, The
Young Mems Central RADICAL club nuaibered
only two hundred and tlirty-four, and some
clubs had only about twenty in the ranks.
The heart of the people in San Francisco
beats not for the subsidy ticket, and in spite
of federal money so freely used the masses
are true to the best interests of the State,
and will so prove it on the 9th of September
by giving the good old Democratic majority
for our State, Municipal, Legislative and
Judicial ticket.

THE OLD TACTICS.

When the campaign of 1867 commenced
with Gorham as the leader of the Republi-
can forces, and Haight at the head of the
Democratic ticket, the mongrel tactics began
to develope themselves in Dragging, in large
meetings and in offers to bet big money on
Gorham's election. Votes were taken on
steamboats,, cars and stages, in harvest fields,
kitchens and saloons; and all these ''straws"
showed that Gorham was the winning man.
These things went on, grew thicker, wilder
and louder, bat amid all this blowing, boast
ing, shouting and shaking of money, the
Democracy STOOD to the good cause and
work, and in the end won the election by
5000 majority. Reader, you recollect
these things, and the result. The Republi-
cans lost their money, their reputation, and
the election. They played the pleople for
fools, and got beat. Well, these scenes arc
again commencing, and the actors are the
same men, the curtains and regala are of
the same material, the music is played on
the same cat-gut, and the dancers and brawl-
ers are the same fools; and now, az then,
the honest, stern, iEoossGptab,a masses stand
firm, aad viii again overwheim these Chinese
gong warriers with defeat on the 9Th of Sep
tembey sext, This is to be a Chinese cam
paign an the part of our oppouents. 1t is to
be fought by them by wind, noiss and blus-
ter, because that is all the ammunition they
have. The skirmishefs a4.s armed with false
hood; the sssapltng columns with Chinese
gongs, and tie reserves with stink-pots.
The Democracy met these soldiers, thu;
armed, in 1867, ard though from the scunG
the contest looked gloomy for a time, yet
when the smoke ef the battlefield cleared
away, the mongfels were founa mangled
mass, while not man on our side vas lost
Or scratched. The great heart Of the honest
masses is ripe and ready for this contest
and there is 10 doubt a the result This
noise and bluster has become an old story,
and it would be weak man indeed that
could be influenced by it. Streaks OF nsan-
ity do run through the country occasionally,
but this is not a good year for the foolkiller.
and the country is safe.

The CRIT1c. had occasion in our
last issue to speak of our candidates and the
appropriateness of each nomination. To this
our neighbor objects and thinks that we in
tended some slur on the men on the ring
ticket. We generally write plain and say
what we think, so our neighbor may in the
future dispense with "inferring" when dis.
cusfing our articles. Human weaknesses
and virtues are as varied in character as are
faces in appearances, and there are no two
men on the ring ticket that we could speak
of in the same terms. Thls being tie fact,
when we begin to speak of.-thHir n.arits and
damerits we shall leave 10 doubt as to who

Who DOSE IT?--The SACRAMENTO Union
in bitterly denouncing petition gotten up by
some r. r. claquers praying the company
not to leave the city, because other people
wanted some of the dirt that comes down
out of the mountains, in the water, drank
there, said in ain article some days ago:
Let them know how much we all love them for
having accepted so much land from the city-and
SO much drt-and for having so greatly worried
arrival company which had the impudence TO
build road on which oug peQple spend SO much
money in travelling to san franci@co
The land given from the city, spoken of
by the Union, can be found described in
An act granting certain rights to the Cen
trail Pacific Railroad Company of California
and for other purposes, introduced by New
ton Booth, February 12tb, 1868. This bill
Of Mr.. Booths virtually gave to the R. r.
company all the city owned from the foot of
X street to I, and along the levee to the
American Rver-the whole North western
part of the city, including Sutter Lake.
This grant is set down in the assets of the
company in the Fisk and Hatch circular, as
worth $500, 900. True, when Mr.. Booth
got this valuable grant from the city for the
company he was to have the supplying OF
the company from his grocery store in Sac
ramento, set down by one paper as being
worth $50, 900 year. So it was sort Of
