LETTER FROM oALIFoRaI.

Los Assslls, ...., July 2, 1872 i To Ge Editor cf he .d5lzoaa Mmet::
 Another week has passed away, leas., angels generally in the enjoyment of goe pirits and happy anticipation, and your co respondent in good state nf preservatioi The ine specified had been almost barre of incidents up to Saturday evening, wh+H- he city was thrown into an agony of eI thusiasm by the pro eedings of the
 Greeley Ratification Meeting
 At half past s o'clock, a large platform erected in front of the Bella Union Hotel. was the scene of more concentrated anlma' ton and pentup enthusiasm that was eve ,re assembled at one place in the city Of Angels Every body sat looking at every holy else, and everybody waited with abated breath to hear somebody announce the open ing of business. Finally, a simultaneous dis charge ot lgiilery, with the dcep-t"nea ut terances If the band, brought matters to c,isiS. and after killing some time by the usual formal prelimnaries, Col. l.. J. C. hcwen, Congressional nominee, mounted the ro>truni and belched forth his impassoned eloqucnce with the frrvor of modern Cicero.
 Your old amigo Ganahl was led to the ros- trum at the -cloSo of Col. kewen's remarks, and acquitted himself in manner we'll worthy of his established reputation. Crank is bright boy and will be a distinguished man some day, if his peculiar force and log''' do not bring him to an untimelv end Thrr' is. however, some danger of this, for the man who has the ability, coupled with the et- frontery, to satisfy a jury of sensible men that and , are D. or to convince the victim of an assault and battery that his la"era'"c countenance is the result of last nights dis spation and tumble down stairs, said man, 1 say, is liable to be scalped even in the heart of civilized community But, to return, to my ratification:
 Ganahl had no sooner let fly his last yer bal brickbat at the Presidential bull dogs and descended from the rostrum than Hon. J. E. Mcconnell was called, who after one of his usual analytical speeches, was succeeded i by Hon. o. H. K O'Melveny
 The whole time occupied by the meeting was some three hours, when the initial move ment of the campaign was dissolved and the happy multitude dispersed.
 1 The sentiment is largely for Greeley and Brown. The Democrats, with the exception of a few sore-heads who are no material dis advantage, and the honest Republicans are marching side by side to the support of old II. c.
 The District Court
 Is in session, pursuing it's eternal labor (here) of trying to adjust land suits. It would ap- pear as though there was no longer hope of arriving at solution of the thousand and one suits in land, arising out of old Spanish and Mexican grants and titles. There are al- ways score or so of those suits in embryo and the simplest questions which may arise between ranchmen. as to waterrights, etc | frequently involve the necessity of dragging up the Civil Code from among the cub- webbed records of the past, for the purpose of arriving at proper adjudication of the matter at issue.
 It is a splendid business for the lawyer i fraternity, however; and the tad-poes dc not flourish and thrive more successfully m the odoriferons ponds that skirt the up town sidewalks, than do those legal gentlemen among the maps, deeds and agreements which point out and define the titles ot the unwary raaclero.
 Personal
 have noticed several Arizonans in town during the week. among whom were Geo Curtis, (now on his way back to Prescott) 4. LaZard, of Tucson, and Mir. Stansfeld The last named i, likewise on his way tC Arizona. 1 believe heard him state that ht should go this morning. EVIL MERoDAcH.
