hundred millions OF dollars, the
new Exchange and the building Of
the Real Estate Associates are the
only new pretentious public edi-
fees I have seen. The Messrs.
Flood & O'Brien evidently did not
believe in OVERRIDING the matter of
local improvement. They have
absorbed untold millions, put
1t in their vaults or in
United States bonds, and
kept it there, and San Francisco
has suffered accordingly and griev-
ously. In this respect, San Fran

has been leagues behind Los An.

THE STOCK BOARD.
l. to-day treated myself 10 look
into the splendid new Stock Ex-
change, on Pine street. Its inte-
rior appointments are on an ex-
tensive scale and in good taste.
Looking down from the gallery on
the crowd of struggling brokers,
my memory went back to the scene
presented In the New York gold
and stock room when [ last saw it.,
six years ago. This is said to he a
dull time in stocks, and probably,
for this reaso II, the comparison is
hardly fair one, but the New
York Board, in the palmy days of
the Erie "deal," could take the rag
off the bush, for noise, in a tilt with
its San Francisco rival, without
half trying. In the San Francisco
Board the brokers all gather in q
little circle in front Of the presiding
officers desk, and the turmoil is
not much greater than dispute
between half a dozen Basques in q
Los Angeles tavern. In New York,
however, each stock was allote d its
corner, and when the fanfare be-
gan it was enough to frighten offa
hostile army. The volume of the
San Francisco stock brokers' lungs
is a childish treble compared to the
full diarason of his e'der brother
of Wall street.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 27.-As f.
Ii. Gassaway, a writer connected
with the Newsletter, was walking
up Kearney street this afternoon,
man named John Staples came
up behind him when near Post
street and knocked him down with
cane. Staples then began to
kick Gassaway, who was stunned
for a moment by the blow; but,
soon coming to his senses, he got
up and drew pistol. Before he
could fire, however, the bysta Elders
interfered aud Staples made his
escape in the crowd. There were
no arrests made. The assault is
supposed to have arisen from an
article which appe red in the Ne,0s-
Letter.
A complaint has been filed by B.
F. Napthaly with the Supervisors
charging Prosecuting Attorney
Flood with neglect of duty, collus-
ion in the dismissal of cases and

of Sprague. The prisoner McCart,
the wife of Churchill, the two
daughters Of Sprague and other
witnesses were called to break the

said nothing. There was some evi.
dence that the man Ferral, stated
by Curlee to have been with him

was actually in the county at the
time, though the prosecution
seemed to have proved that he was
not. Monday will pretty certainly

Who discovered Grant for 1850.
TChicagO Times.l

It was inevitable, but it comes trihe early,
A couple OF papers ar are g gquarreling upon the
distinction of having first named Grant for
1880. The Graphic mentions itself as the
pioneer in this direction, and the Globe Demo-
crdt, which will not permit an infringement of
it's patent, declares that the Graphic can take
the blue ribbon for cheek.
The truth is that the Graphic made this
discovery In May, 1878, whereas the Globe
Democrat made it and announced it to Won
dering world in November, 1877. In the Ian
guage of Mr.. Benton, Solitary and alone we
set this ball in notion We were solitary
and alone in the business for some time, but
we stuck to it, nevertheless. Now we have all
the politicians and most of the Republican
newspapers with u.s.
AS we never heard that Grant pardoned the
editor Of the Gruphic we are inclined to think
that the Globe-D Democrat is right.

The California State Convention has been
discussing two old questions that have per-
plexed conventions and legislatures for many
wears. 1t Is surprising to learn that the
question Of the right of a State to seceoe
from tho Union was the subject OF q ihos'
earnest and bitter debate. In the cons1'Iu~
ilonal convention Of Alabama, few years
ago, wherein the Democrats had large lha-
jority, the right of secession was denied oy
large majority. In California, however 'i,o
fight over this question was long ana eelne7.'
and although the right of secession was '''la'-
Iy denied, this denial was carfled ny pus i"
slim majority. The second quesslon o's-
cussed was, to whom should the pafdohlhg

General. to whom all pardons should 90 re-

were thoroughly discussed, but the conven
tion finally determined against them, anc
decided to leave the pardoning power where
it now belongs-with the Governor.
