This is pretty peppery language. es-

In tho issue Of our friend Boruck's
paper, The Cal;foraia Spirit Of the Times.
for Saturday last. We find an account of
what W take to be an imaginary inter
view between Mr.. B. and Mr.. John +.
Swift, the putative father Of the indie
pendent Address, and the commonly ac-
ceptsd original of"J. J. Byers. No. l742
O'Farrell street." who has been doing
certain humorous and sarcastieal
sketches for the Bul.tia of late. There
is q good deal of this fancied interview
that hardly bears upon anything which
readers in this altitude care to bother
their brains about; but in the following,
which is put in the form of an inter
rogatory from Boruck to Swift, We find
the disguise of pretty direct and cut
ting accusation Of Inconsistency on tho
part of SO prominent Boothits az Mr..
Swift, that is we'll worth our while to
study over. We extract rs follows from
the body Of the reported conversation:
Mr.. BoRUcK-Mr. Ssift. what would

with Governor Stanford, made, with
his family, his house his home. bad the

salt at his table, was frequently his hon

bis family. was passed free TO New York.
and on his return, and upon his demand
by letter and telegraph, had his free
passes sent on to New York to meet
him; special car being provided for
him; Who had confidence unlimited

Stanford. retained property, in the
neighborhoci of the depot Of the com
pany Of which the latter vas president,
which he otherwise would have sold at
sacrifice. bnt which by such retention.

innumsrable favors of like character.

his interests, without cause or provOca-
ton and banded with his enemies. l
ask what would you think of such . man?
Me-. SwuT-Why. would think him
Q consummate scoundrsl, ungrateful dog,
and miserable wretch.
Ne. BoRUCK-You would?
Nh. SWuT-Why certainly would.
and the rascal should b whipped naked
through the land. for his infamy.
Nh. BoRUCK-Why Swift, out Of your
own mouth shall you b condemned.
The portrait / have drawn is that Of
yourself. You have done all Of these
things. Thou art the man.
There is . good deal more, every bit as
interesting - anything since Bessie
