AuarsT. II. 1877.

Mr.. EDITOR wandering
correspondent has at last arrived al
his "Haven of Happiness" viz: San
Francisco. You know one can al
ways make himself 81 comfortable
around and about the many avenues
| Of interest and amusement which
present themselves to his fancy IN
this pleasant city.
For amusement, he will find the
classic drama at the California Thea
ter; the mystic art, as pr,.ctised ty
C,zenruve, at the Bush Street Thea.
ter; the Emerson MINISTRIES; the
Tivoli beer garden IN Stockton street,
at which place the Vienna Ladirs
Orchestra hold forth nightly to many
thirsty souls who combine lager, to-
l,acco and music in blissful harmony;
the various twenty five cent concert
r.On,s located underground all along
Kearny street, where very low come
dy and five-cent whisky is dispensed
the hot beds of the h,ndlum ele.
mrnt, b nh male and female of this
city Of 3o0,000 people; and finally,
the thousand and one beer parInrs
distributed all over the city, where
the malt fluid is dispensed 10y the
softer sex at ten cents the b tile.
The many objects Of interest t. be
found all over the civ; the Suburban
retreats, b tn by rail and boat; the
fair just opened, and other attrac-
tons, renders residence 10 this city
particularly epi ,yaole and attrac i've.
Gu anywhere you will, all places Of
amusement are well patron ze'i,
and to such an extent, one is dis
pnse.l to ask himself "Where does
the money come from to pay the
Scot r.
Almost every person your cores
pendent has met since his arrival
complains of hard times; that bust.
ness is dull: that stocks have ruined
thousands; the crop was short this
wear; the Chinaman has driven out
the white lahnrer: Flood & O'Brien
have gobblrd up every gnd thing;
Stanford & II ,pkins have depleted
the country by high rates IF freight
and fares, and finally, the irish ele-
ment ave possessing themselves Of all
the offi es.
You have noticed in our local
papers the progress of the mint in
vestigating committee. From all |
can gather white attending the meet
irgs and from outside sources, there
does not seem to he any evidence inn
plicating L. Grange in any wrong
diving. The rogue Pinney has been
the figure head in all this matter,
aided and encouraged by TIE Chrnn-
icle and that old marplnt, Pixley.
TIE result of the investigation will
he the Scotch verdict, mot proven"
NJ INV Of the witnesses introduced bv
Plxley against La Grange were either
emoloyes discharged for Cause, or
those who have been unsuccessful in
obtaining positions at the Mat.
II ,rmstead aid Stirling. of the Car
son mint, were witnesses against La
Grange; hut their evidence was of
neither weight nor inp"rttnce-in
fact, it WAS wondered Why the gov
eminent WAS put to the expense of
bringing them here.
