SAN FRANCISCO. Oct, 23.- The Call
this morning publishes interviews with
Senators Booth and Cooper, the latter
being a member of the Chinese Commit
tee. The former in the course of the
conversation, remarked with regard to
counting the electoral vote, that il either
Republicans or Democrats gain decis-
i've victory. the machinery of the Gov.
ernment will work smoothly, but in case
the question arises as to the rightful pos.
session of the White House, there will
be little hope of an amicable settlement.
He then went on to instance case OF an
election depending upon the vote OF
South Carolina, saying that as it is al
most certain there will be a duplicate
electoral return from that State. who
can tell what may come of it? There
will be objections raised to the vote and
no means of accepting or rejecting said
objections, so We will be lett in thu sad
position of a country without an Eyecu.
tive, l may say without Government.
Senator Cooper spoke to the same effect,
but in the most decisive terms, express
ing fear that unless either of the Presi.
dental candidates win by decisive
majority, fratricidsl war will ensue,
infinitely more horrible than the late re-
bellion, as that was a sectional conflict,
while this would be an intestine struggle
without hope OF the result, the only pos
sible end being destruction of this
Government.

The Fall meeting OF the California
Rifle Association began this morning ut
the San Bruno range. The weather ia
very favorable, clear and bright. with
but very little wind. The first match in
order is the military short range at 200
yards.
The registration matter still engages
much of the attention of politicians and
citizens generally. The Democrats as
sert that they will gain much more than
they will lose by the operation; that the
effect of the movement will probably be
to cut off some Democratic votes, but
many foreign residents have become in
dignant at what they alleRe is an attempt
to deprive their compatriots Of their
rights, and will vote the Democratic
ticket this time. At any rate. that this
feeling prevails to some extent il prob
ably correct, but whether to a degree
sufficient to make any material difference
iii the result is doubtful. The Demo-
Gratis further assert that the men who
are on the black list have got their mad
up. and will find means to cast their bal.
lots in spite of registration.
