DIDN'T ASK FOR WORK.
Statement OF the Object of the
Portuguese Petition.

MR.. EDITOR.-Your editorial para
graph of recent date on the failure of
the Portuguese to respond to 1.-The call
of the planters" is somewhat mislead-
ing, and 1 am sure you would not will
IingIy have it remain so.
The petition presented to the Legisla-
ture did not ask for work, nor did it
contain any complaint of want of en-
ployment. / have met good many
people who talk glibly about the action
of the Portuguese and their petition,
without having so much as read it.
OF course, the planters 'ad"r for 300
laborers was intended to take the wind
out of the petitions sails, as their Pc
tition was supposed to be for employ
ment. But it was not. l think every
fair minded man will admit that the
petition was a moderate, sensible and
reasonable exposition of their case, and
I think that they deserve great credit
Off taking the initiative in matter
that vitality concerns all white men of
the laboring or trading classes.

HIS HORSELESS CARRIAGE
Charles Fairs Latest Importation is
Seen on Folsom Boulevard.
RIM nv a Petroleum Motor, Which Can
be Worked With Ease-A simple
Continuance.

Charles Fairs horseless car
riage was on parade for a short
time yesterday afternoon at the
outer end of the Folsom boule-
ward, says the S. F. Examiner.
When Charles Fair was in the
French capital a few months ago
he took a great fancy to this style
of carriage, and determined to
have one for his use in San Fran
cisco.
Mr.. Fairs new carriage in gen
eral appearance resembles an or
binary two-seated box buggy with
solid rubber-tir wheels. The
means of propulsion is petrole-
UNI motor with a storage system
in the bottom of the buggy under
the seat. The storage capacity Is
sufficient for a run of from sixty
to eighty miles.
The wheels are similar to those
of bicycle and the front axle is
stationary. The rear axle is
sprocketed wheel which is con-
nected by a chain to the motor
machinery beneath the seat.
The machinery is controlled by
two small levers which extend
from a rod projecting through the
bottom:of the buggy. The levers
are handled by the motorman,
who sits ON a rear seat. The con-
trivance is very simple.
Mr.. Fair has adopted the solid
rather than the pneumatic tires
because he thinks they will be
more durable on the rough roads
in San Francisco. The machine is
necessarily at its best when be-
ing propelled along a smooth road.
The owner estimates that he can
speed along from twelve to fiji
teen miles an hour. He thinks
that his machine is just the thing
for the soft roads leading out of
San Francisco, and for the many
good highways in and about the
suburban towns.

plead not guilty. Upon being asked
what he had to do with the stealing of
the chickens, he disclaimed all par
ticipation in the affair.
1T is just this way" said the young
ster. / had nothing to do with the af-
fair at all. / only took the chickens
from the other fellows and put them in
the large bag which we took up for
the purpose"
Frequent complaints have been
made about milk and bread stealing in
the Portuguese settlement near Punch
bowl. Did you have anything to do
with those little freaks?" asked the
prosecuting attorney.
'Yes, did; but wasn't the only one
concerned. There were lot of others
engaged in the stealings."
Mao was given two years in the Re-
form School, and Roma, one Of the most
active of the thieves, got three months
Imprisonment at hard labor. The other
boys were discharged.

The Shenandoah Meeting.

New Market, Va, OCTOBER IL, 1870.
To the Edito- of the Dispatch:
My attention has been called to a spe-
cial to the Times, from Woodstock, under
date of October Sth i'm which the cor
respondent is pleased to designate Sill
ver-Day at the Shenandoah Fair as a
great failure. and Sound-Money-Day as
a grand success. The truth is, the whole
scheme was a failure. The officers Of
the fair conceived the idea of having a
Silver-Day and a Republican-Day. the
idea being TO draw large crowds ~ in
crease the gate receipts. Lots were cast
for the choice Of days. and the Republ-
cans won, and, of course, chose Thurs
day. which is always more largely at
tended than any other day during the
fair The Democrats were assigned We'd
nesday The Democratic organization had
nothing to do with the arrangement, ex-
cept that the chairman was asked 10 ex-
ert his influence to secure Senator DAN
tel for Silver-Day Senator Daniel ex-
pressed the hore that he would get out
of court at Lynchburg in time to be on
hand. But as the time expired most
people I'm the county were convinced that
he would not be present and consequently
did not attend on Silver-Day. But for
this understanding Il large crowd would
have been present TO greet Mr.. Daniel,
had he been able to attend.
Now, listen to what the Times's cor
respondent has to say about Republican
Day: at came 10 pass. however, that
the grandstand, which holds 1900 people,
was crowded. and the attendance was
all that any speaker could ask, and this
time an advocate was on hand for the
cause gold, I'm whose behalf the day
had been designated. and the opportunity
afforded was not allowed to pass unim-
proved" The slip attendance at the fair
this year was due to the busy seed time
with the farmers, and besides. the re-
cent floods have 0ccasoned a great deal
Of additional work among the farmers
The Timess Woodstock correspondent
says that 1900 people listened to the gold
debaters. 1 am Informed by one Of the
officials of the Shenandoah Fair that there
were not more than from seven TO eight
hundred people on the fairgrounds. all
told, including men, women, and children.
/ am further advised that not more than
100 men were ia The grandstand TO listen
to the sound money Republican speeches.
The correspondent of the Baltimore Sun
said, under date OF October 8th: The Re
publicans had three speakers with them
l.. X. Pangborne, of New Jersey; w c.
Plummer, OF Colorado. and d. Preston
Parr, sound money Democrat, of Bed
ford City. A stand had been erected in
the grandstand, and less than 800 people,
majority of whom were Democrats and
women, sat for three hours listening TO
an arraignment of Bryan and his fol-
lowers, and an endorsement OF the Cleve-
land Aoministra ton.
If the Times Is not more reliable in the
general information it gives to its readers
than its Woodstock correspondent, then
1t is time that IL should have guardian
TO look after it's affairs.
Shenandoah will cast its vote for Bryan
and Sewall, Notwithstanding the fact it
was gold county prior to the Chicago
convention.
