A SAD PROSPECT.

The San Francisco Chronicle pub
fishes long lament over Senator Booth
because he chooses to take his own way,
and will not kiss and be friends with the
Sargent, Gorham, third term, household |
bread and butter brigade in California.
Il would be surprising indeed if he did.
The clique that has seized the organiza-
ton Of the Republican party in Cali
fornis. is a coslization between the Cen
trail Pacific Railroad and horde OF po-
litical bummers differed by Sargent, Cor
ham and others of like stripe. The OBJ
iect Of these allied forces, is for the rail
road to secure Legislature formed OF
its bought and paid tools. and the con-
tinuance 10 Office Of the aforesaid bum
mers. Now Booth would be in nice
business to strike hands With such
disreputable set Of fellows. The latter
know that their race il almost run, that
their official existence is about ended,
and in their desperation will do anything
to prolong their lease of office. Give
them that, and they will make Grant
Dictator, and the Central Pacific Rail
road the arbiter OF the lives and fortunes
of all the inhabitants of the Pacific
coast. Booth is we'll aware Of the char
acter OF these men, their vile schemes
and the desperation that now prompt
their actions, and like wise aud honest
man, will have nothing to do with them.
The same may be said OF the Democrats
in California, who are equally tainted
with the sin OF being merely the creatures
of the railroad. That great monopoly
is entirely indifferent whether the Repub-
licans or the Democrats prevail. Both
parties are equally its willing SER
wants and during the last Leg's-
lature, both contended in dis
graceful emulation, as to which
should earn the dirty price for which 1t
had bartered its should be priceless
honor. The latter was, however, not
only found to be purchaseable but was
not such a very expensive luxury after
all. The only men that the railroad is
afraid Of, because it can not buy them,
are the independent voters. Upon them
and their principal representative,
Booth, the railroads purchased organs
pour the daily streams of their wrathful
invective. 1t is really funny to notice
their lucubrations, sometimes imploring
at others menacing, but generally as full
OF blackguardism as O'Connell's cele-
brated market woman. They are every
thing by turns and nothing long. All
this twisting and turning, abuse and
wheedling has been thrown away.
Booth will have nothing to do with
them, the independents despise them,
and the result of the campaign will be
that legislature will be elected that
will compel the railroad to act decently
to accept reasonable compensation and
contribute its fair share of the public
burdens. But as to tse Sargent-Gor
ham-household troops, we fear that fol

that fresh term Of Office will bles'

oution offices. What a lamentable oc
currence it will be when Sargent has I,

altar Of their beloved country.
