Suicide Of Ralston, President Of the Bank
of California

The oll,wing account of the disappearance
of the President of the suspended Bank of
California, is taken from the Cincinnati Com
naercial OF the 25.h, TO when it Was written on
the day of the f.ilure:
Aboui ten minutes past 5 o'clock, car
rage drove rapidly to side door OF the Bank
of California, and gentleman jumped out IN
state of excitem -nt and ran into the bank.
In response to inquiries, he said he had just
left the body OF Ralston in charge OF an
officer on the beach, near the Smelling Works,
in the northern part OF the city, drowned;
supposed suicide. Further particulars soon.
Later-R ASTON rode to Selby's Smelling
Works wharf and jumped eff the deck.
6P. M.-There is great excitement in the
CITY. The death of Ralston overshadows every
other topic. From the best information it ap-
pears he went to the sea- bathing establish
ment at North Beach about 1926 P. NJ, un-
dressed, went into the water, swan about two
hundred yards, disappeared behind vessel,
and soon after the body was discovered float
ing by the Silly Lead Works. l. was brought
ashore still alive Physicians were summoned,
but their efforts to resuscitate him failed.
He died at ten minutes to o'clock. Col
Fry, his father-in-!aw, Mayor OILS and
number of prominent citizens arrived before
he expired. Col. Fry and Capt Lees went to
the bathing house and OBJ aimed Mr.. Ralston' s
clothes. In these were found few dollars
and his statement to the bank, but nothing
having tendency to show that he committed
suicide. The body was conveyed to No. 1872
Jackson street, the residence of Col. Fry.
A boy named Festus Mazzele states that he
saw Mr. Ralston before he reached the bath
house; saw him sit on the clay bank near the
smelling works. saw him tear up several
papers and throw the scraps into the water.
A close search was made for the pieces, but
none could be found. He is also reported to
have been seen to drink the contents of q
phial before going into the water. The gen.
eral impression is that he took poison before
entering the water.
The board of directors of the Bank of Cali
fornia held meeting to-day. Ralston was
requested to resign as President and director,
which he did.
As regards the financial prospect, in the
best informed circles it is believed all the
banks will go on without further trouble, and
that the National Gold Bank Trust Company
and the Merchants Exchange Bank will re-
sumo Monday.
The town is full of rumors, and the street
at this hour e P. NJ is crowded with peo-
pie. 1t is understood that, owing to the ex-
cited feeling manifested, arrangements have
been made to call out the military to pre-
serve order, if necessary.

The Success of the Season.

On Sunday the members of Mechanics
Fire Company No. 6, accompanied by many
invited guests, started for Milneburg, Old
Lake End, for the purpose of celebrating
their forty-second anniversary.
They marched from their engine-house in
their best attire, and en- route to the depot
were invited in to the st. Charles Exchange
by the genial proprietor, Charles Lacoume,
who enlivened their spirits in bowl of good
old punch.
From thence to the depot, where they rolled
down to Denechaud's. There another punch
was destroyed. During the day foot races,
Jumping matches, ETC., were in order, and
then came the repast-a table laid for one
hundred people, and grooming under the
weight of such viands US would make even old
Epicurus smile for joy. 1t was magnificent
affair. No. 6 never gets anything up that
is not first-class.
Then, after everybody was full (of dinner,
speeches were made. Messrs. I. n Marks,
W. H. Manning. Alex. Dalsheimer and James
L Day addressed the boys, An appropriate
toastFwas drunk to the press, when Mr. ID. O..
Noise was called upon to respond. which he
did the best way he could. At $50 P. NJ. &,
the whole crowd started for New Orleans.
At the depot torches were in waiting, and
to the sweet strains of Charlie Jaeger's band
marched through the streets through per-
feet shower of fireworks, serenading on their
route all of their friends. A feature OF the
night was visit to the Rev. Father Allen, OF
St Patrick's Church. The doors were thrown
open, and the Holy Father entertained the
fire boys.
Thence to Major Boyles residence, where
that estimable gentleman had nice table OF
punch and sweet eatables spread; then the
tables were cleared away and regular old
"siag dance" was inaugurated. Take it all
in all, the affair was the success OF the sea-
son, and all connected with its management
deserve credit

LETTER FROM PENSACOLA.
No Fever There or at Barrancas.

PENSACOLA, Aug. ~, 1875.
Editor New Orleans Bulletin:
The Montgomery Advertiser says there is
not case Of yellow fever in Pensacola. That
is true; and it is also true that there has been
no yellow fever here this summer.
Field did not come from Bsrrancas; he has
not been there. He came from Washington;
has not had yellow fever; but the Advertiser is
not expected to be entirely accurate in all its
statements.
Quite number of our best citizens have no
desire to see the Montgomery quarantine
raised, we have little or no trade with that
place, and We are not at all troubled by their
quarantine. Of course, they will not pretend
to stop travellers in transit on railroad to
point beyond there.
Yesterday quarantine physician Martin was
laid up with fever at the Quarantine Station.
The city physician went to see him. l under
stand he says it is yellow fever; of course it
is, because month or more past DR.. Martin
attended the sick on the barks Won Moltke
and Gulnaire. These vessels have left here
some time ago, but to return Gf every after
frost. But their ghosts are here and will re.
main till frost
In old times we did not have so many
scarey people there was more charity for the
sick, and instead of running from the IN
fortunate sick or shutting them up to die
under quarantine guard, we took them to our
homes or we were glad to visit or nurse them.
Every fever in those days was not yellow
fever.
The bad negroes who made demonstrations
Of fight or incendiary threats have been ar
rested, some Of them sent out of town and
others lodged in Jail. to await the action of
our court. All is quiet.
Our friend Dorr, of the Gazette, favors the
Advisory Board to quarantine vessels from in
fected ports until frost (when will we have
frost p, and then from time to time Whites
some very clever articles of the advantages of
the port of Pensacola for foreign trade, i'm
port.tions, coaling ships, etc. I supp ose he
means the trade from the first of December
up to the first of June, say six months, and
then let us close the port by quarantine to
such trade from June until December.
That will not work. We must have rea-
sonable quarantine, and we must do away
with oppressive and unreasonable restrictions
Those who scare badly ought to get ont a
license do business in another latitude. *'*

FRENCH RURAL FESTIVAL.
Spontaneous Exhibition of Sym
pathy for the Sufferers by
Overflow in France.
The Sports, Races, Fireworks,
Dancing, Etc.

The weather, which had heen most unpro-
pitious for the rural festival for the benefit Of
the sufferers from overflow in France, and
which occasioned postponement for several
successive Sundays, was, fortunately, more
suspicious Sunday last, and the attendance
at the Fair Grounds was not only large, but
OF the most respectable character. It would
have been much larger but for one or two
showers which, occurring early in the after
noon, had the effect Of lettering many from
venturing out
Every arrangement had been made by the
various committees to make the day a mem
orable one in the annals of festivities in New
Orleans, and from morning until evening
there was continuous round Of amusement,
the thousands present enjoying themselves to
very top of their bent and as fancy or inclin-
alton dictated.
The large Exposition Building was very
deliberately and handsomely decorated with
flags, and the names of the chief cities in
France were inscribed in large letters upon
the various refreshment booths, Of which
there. were many, presided over by ladies
representing the elite of our French popula-
ton.
The table set apart for the judges, press,
etc., was generously supplied with the most
substantial and most delicious edibles. It
was presided over by Madam Eugene, the
mere announcement of which fact is suffi-
Gent to convey to the mind OF the bon vivant
an idea of the inimitable character Of the
refreshments.
The first open air amusement was the grand
ring tournament, which was witnessed by an
immense and delighted assembly of ladies
and gentlemen, and in which some excellent
horsemanship was displayed.
The successful contestants were as fol.
lows:
First, Mr.. Bonnecase, who took II rings
out OF So.
Second, Mr.. Mercer, Is rings.
Third, Mr. D. Vincent, IA rings
Fourth, Mr.. A. N. Carnibe, IA rings.
After the tournament came the races, which
were we'll attended and, in the main, closely
contested.

The dancing on the platform and in the
Exposition building, the juvenile sports (o
which there were many, and the fireworks
about o'clock, were all enjoyable, and the
dancing was kept up until very late hour.
We are indebted for courtesies to Mr..
Merilh, the President of the Association, Mr..
Guillemet, Mr.. Desca and Mr.. E. D. Levy and
many other gentlemen. For the serenade to
which the BULLETIN was treated in the morn.

A Sensonable Topic.

1t must have been noticed by the public
that gentle breeze Of putery sweeps over
the land. Indeed, the time when the leaves
in the forest show the touch of the frost with
their red and yellow brilliancy is the chosen
season of puffery. But the season is not rig
orously fixed. 1t has no such definite sign
as the oyster season has in photography
though it has nearly the same limits neither
has it the positive dates OF the game law, out
side Of which it becomes criminal offence
for man to be found with puff on his per-
son, or offering one to an editor, and this is
to be regretted. But il has general relation
to the end of the summer festivities out of
town and the commencement of the gayeties
of the city In May or thereabouts the inn
presario disappears suddenly, silently, as a
bird of passage. No dormouse slowed away
in timber or earth is quieter for awhile
Then he sends us from time to time o well
conceived reminder of his existence. He
sends these reminders by the cable. First
we hear that Signor Flummerini, the great
tenor, has met with severe accident, which
has damaged his collar bone, but has not in
days later the attentive cable tells us that
Flummerini is better and that there is a
probability that he may be induced TO visit
the United States this autumn. Alas in ten
days this hope is crushed by the sad news
that Flummerini has accepted the over
whelming offers of the Emperor Of Russia
and will go to st. Petersburg. Soon, how
ever, hope which springs eternal in the hui
man breast revives once more, and presently
the grand news comes that the impresario Is
actually on the sea with the great prize that
he has torn from the very clutches Of the
Northern Bear All this important intelli-
gence is sent us by the now active impresa-
RIO and generally, we believe, at the expense
Of the Associated Press. At least we know
and we hope the public knows, that these
dispatches are not our specials. They pre-
pare the public mind, however, and so 1t Is
of no consequence at whose expense they are
set. Eventually the great artist arrives ana
is welcomed to our shores by some brilliant
orator '.in the name Of the Union" AT this
stage there are what are called ovations;
there are excursions to meet the artist,
crowds turn out to serenade him and
the enthusiastic people have even been
known to take out the horses and drag his
carriage themselves Immediately the start
ling story of his life appears in all the pa
pers, filed with pithy and sometimes dra-
matte details. No doubt it is interesting
reading to the artist and the manager 10
US it seems to be generally an inane and
fulsome rigmarole. Let Us gently inquire if
there has not been enough OF all this. All
these processes are old and dolorously famil-
lar to their smallest particular Cannot the
MANAGERS invent some new processes for

The Rubbiing of the Caldron.

If the anti-Tammany free lance elements in
New York could be consolidated there would
be lively time ahead for the chief of the
Swallow Tails and the descendant of Brian
Boroihme. We have various factions in
o state of disorganization. There is the
OMorrissey party, who propose to run
their chief for Senator against ex-senator
Fox in the downtown wards. There is the
O'Creamer party, mainly composed Of the
citizens Of avenue A. who believe that ham
stealing should not be punished with twenty
years imprisonment while population of the
treasury is made means of professional dis
tinction. On this platform O'Creamer can
make novel contest, as this ham
stealing question is becoming an impor-
tant if not a controlling element in our
politics There is ex-Surveyor Rufus L.
OAndrews with his Teetotallers; there is ex-
District Attorney John McKeon, with the
Ultramontanists, who mean to contest the
school question under the leadership of the
old Jacksonian democrat There is ex-Assem-
blyman and ex-candidate for the Presidency
Theodore O'Tomlinson, with his famous plat
form in favor of making clamshells legal
tender, and ex-Congressman Uncle Dick at
the head of the Paper Collar Democ-
racy. Uncle Dick proposes to give to
every able bodied voter a thousand dollars
in greenbacks-a most attractive platform,
which, when it comes to be explained, will
no doubt have wide influence on the
elections Thus far we have O'Morrissey,
O'Creamer, O'Tomlinson, O'Schell and
O'Botheration
These various free lance bands Of guer-
illas, if they could only be combined
under a strong leadership, would test
the courage and genius Of ex-Sherif
OKelly, and especially if they formed
an alliance with republicans anxious for a
canvass and market. There TIRE the John
CochrGne republicans and the liberal repub-
licans and the Beet-Eaters Of the Custom
House, headed BY ex-Collector O'Murphy,
and the anti-Beef-Eaters, just now without
a head, looking around for leader who
can pay expenses. The prizes at the next
election are none Of them tempting, but quite
honorable. 1t will be mainly a judicial
fight. There are to be chosen Judge of the
Superior and the Common Pleas Courts,
eight Civil Justices, Surrogate, Recorder,
two Judges of the Marine Court, City
Judge, District Attorney and Senator'S
Many prominent citizens are named for
these stations AS it now stands the hearty
common sense Of the democratic party,
which sees the real contest in the national
fight, and this local affair mere tournament
of free lancers, will not be seduced into an
attitude that will do no good to the city but
be of grave harm to the democratic party and
the country at large.
