WE invite the attention of such of our
readers as think that justice and the ad-
ministration of the laws have much in
common in San Francisco, to consider
alton of an article in our local columns,
in which the cases of some of the witness
es detained in our Jail are given. To
take one case: A laboring man arrives
here in search of work to support his
wife and children, whom he has left be-
hind him in Europe until he can earn
money enough to bring them here. He is
set upon by thieves and robbed of all his
money, SIS. Then what our lawyers call
justice steps in and throws the victim into
n filthy underground dungeon. There he
has been for seventy-scven days, during
which he has not once seen the light of
the sun, and there he will stay, immured
with drunken and crazy people, China
men and thieves, until some well fattened
Judge, who is now of fishing, gets time
to attend to his case. And all this while
his wife and children are probably starry
ing. We would like to shove the four
District Judges, the District Attorney,
the Municipal Judge, and about twelve
of our most prominent lawyers, down
this black hole and keep them there for a
month. We think it probable that after
they came out justice would move more
expeditiously in San Francisco San
francisco Post.

A MINERS LUCK.-The last Calaver-
as Chronicle tells of miner in that coun-
ty, named Mullins, who had worked for
years, running tunnel through the bed
rock to strike gravel lead. AT last, be-
ing in debt and broken in health, he
could mako no further progress, and
was compelled to surrender the claim.
Mullins went to work for the new pro-
prictor and in three weeks struck through
into gravel pros spectng as high as fifteen
dollars to the pan. The case of Mullins
is but one of many similar to the expert
ence of many old miners, where the toll
and struggles of years are to inure only to
the benefit of some pet of fortune.

SAN FRANCISCO LETTER,
[FRoM ouRREGULAR coRREsPosDENT.]


San Francisco, JulyS, 'F3.
DEAR Journal - Your correspond
ent has been absent from the city nearly
a week, delivering Fourth of July ora
ton before the Welch coal miners of the
Mount Diablo region and the farmers
and vaquerus of Contra Costa, conse-
quently may not be expected to bring up
perfectly the news of the town. / would
like to say something iae.r:e''so about
the coal mines, but will be very brief.
People outside can have but very little
knowledge of their extent and richness.
They are located about four miles from
the eastern base of Mount Diablo, in a
very rough, hilly region. Black Dia-
mond is the center of one set of mines /;
Sommcrsyile, of the other. The mines
Of the former place are most extensively
worked and best developed. AT the lat
ter place is the Independent mine, at one
time owned by III. Greenwood, of Wea-
verville, but which was filed up with
water which large and costly steam en-
gines and pumps failed to remove, and
it was partially abandoned. Within a
few weeks, however, efforts were made
to drain the mine and it is now believed
that the work can be successfully accom-
plished. From the Black Diamond mines
about 10000 tons of coal are taken every
month probably half that amount from
the Sommersvlle mines, and about 500
men are employed in the two places.
The celebration in San Francisco was
not equal to the average of such affairs
here, owing partly to hard times and part
ly to the refusal Of several large societies
of foreigners to turn out.
All the Courts have resumed business
after the two months vacation, and law
yer's countenances are hand breadth
shorter.
The Board of Supervisors has sustained
the Mayors veto Of the ridiculous Anti
Chinese laundry ordinance. What inef

The Colusa Sun thinks the Republican
party is dead. And it deprecates the In
dependent Taxpayers movements in Sac
ramento, Colusa and other counties, on
the ground that it is only dodge of Re
publicans to get into Office unde" a new
name. 1t may be the case in Colusa,
where the Republicans never had cor
poral's guard of voters but it savors of
love feast of hungry Democrats and
Greeleyites in the other counties named.
AS for the Republican party being de-
funct, it was a pretty lively corpse last
November, and as the New York Ti1b-
mae failed to slaughter it in New York,
and the Chicago Tribune was equally
unsuccessful in Illinois, We incline to the
belief that the Sacramento Union will
hardly kin it off in this State.

ELECTION OF AssEssoRs.-In all the
counties which have made nominations
thus far, Assessors have been nominated
and will be voted for, Notwithstanding
that section of the Codes which extends
the term of the present incumbents of
that office, and tho opinion of Attorney
General Love in favor of the constitu-
tionality Of the law. Undoubtedly test
case will be carried to the Supreme Court
and the matter decided prior to the time
for commencing assessments next year.
1t is held by eminent lawyers that should
n decision against the section Of the Code
be rendered, those counties in which no
election are held this year will be with
out Assessors, and the acts performed by
the holdover incumbents null and void.
If this view is correct it would be we'll to
elect an Assessor with other county off
GERS as a precaution against any iinan-
cial embarrassment to the county.
Weekly Trinity journal., 1873-07-12
EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS,

SENAToRIAL MATTERs.-There is an
old saying about s counting chickens be-
fore they are hatched" which will apply
well to the Senatorial canvass in this
State. The Sacramento Untoa, with a
small following is urging the election of
Booth the Record, with another small
following, is making dead fight against
Booth. The Republican press of the
State generally, while condemning the
" rule or ruin" policy Of ;he onion do
not wholly coincide with the Record }.
their fight is not SO much against Booth,
personally, as against the disreputable
and ou utrageous means which his friends
are ill-advisedly employing in his behalf.
1t does not seem TO have occurred to these
two Journals that while they are disput-
ing as to who shall enjoy heSenatorial
prize, it may be carried off by some one
whom neither has taken into calculation.
The Republicans have not yet carried u
majority in the next Legislature of this
State, and with few more such move
ments as that known as the " Taxpayers"
in Sacramento, which the Union has en-
couraged and fostered from its incipiency
they can bid adieu to all hopes Of so do
ing. How many Of the legislative nom
inees of that Taxpayers party will vote
for Booth, should the ticket happen to be
successful Edgei ton, Coggins and
Kercheval may, but it is a safe bet that
the Democratic portion Of the legislative
ticket will not touch his Excellency with
ten foot pole. They may be admirers
Of Mr.. Booth (for admiration is cheap,)
because he is with them on some ques-
tions of local interest, but they can easi-
ly find others who are with them also,
and who possess the additional recon-
mendation Of being sound Democrats
We think that if resolution pledging
the legislative ticket to Booth had been
offered in that Convention, it would have
lie; out" Democratic aflliation with it.
Yet the Union has "cheek" enough to
advise Solano and other counties which
have Republican majorites, to initiate
similar movements to that engineered by
itself, and pledge theirnomnees to Booth,
when he could not getan endorsement at
home. ..... -...
The Legislature consists of one hund-
dred and twenty memb bers, nineteen Of
whom are hold-over Senators the re-
mainder are to be elected this fall. If
such counties as Sacramento, Solano, Ne
vada, Yuba and other strong g-holds are to
be lost through Republican dissensons,
our party can bid goodbye to all hopes
of the Senatorsbip. The idea of Demo-
crats voting for Booth is all bosh. They
are not troubled with weaknesses of that
nature. We interviewed our Democrat
ic Senator on that point, at the time when
the Union was claiming the anti-rairoad
Democrats for Booth, and received the
reply that ne "didn't want any Booth
in his"

THE LOTTERY SwINp1E1N OMA

The LOTTERY SwINDLE IN OMAHA.
The San Francisco Chronicle of the 9Th
instant. says of this concern:
The Grand Lottery in aid of the Ne
braska State Orphan Asylum, which was
got up some time ago in Omaha by GER
tain j. NJ. Pattee, has turned out huge
swindle. The drawing took place not
long since, and the winning numbers and
the big prizes were duly announced in
the newspapers, but no payments were
mad to the lucky (?) ticket-holders. A
hard working printer in New York was
said to have won $4,000, and he was
highly commended because he betrayed
no excitement at his good fortune. Poor
fellow! 1t will be well for him if he had
common sense enough to keep to his hon
est trade and refrained from building his
future on the basis of his big prize.
Hundreds of circulars setting forth the
liberal terms and the great chances given
by this Lottery, which was represented
as being indorsed and patronized by the
Governor and State officials of Nebraska,
were circulated through the post. Many
were foolish enough to respond, and
hundreds-perhaps thousands-of dollars
were forwarded to Pattee's address. Some
of the local papers denounced the swim
die yet, strange to say, the thing was al
lowed 10 go on until it eliminated in a
