The attitude of Mr. George Gorham before the people .of Califorbia is most unique. , If thore is a single individual in the State1 whom the people would not call to the performance of a public duty it is this individual. If there is a person connected with its politics whom the bet er elass of the community would with unamnity declare untrustworthy and unreliable, it is him, and yet the fact is, this gentleman to-day con trolls the organization1 of the Republican party and drives the machinery which makes are mars the political fortunes of its representatives men. To state the proposition in another way, the or ganization of the Repuplican party has fallen under the control of tho most utterly worthless gang of dlsreputlble polticians that a State was ever cursed with, and Gorham is there regonixed and acknowledged leader. These men would advance Mr. Gorham to the benate of the United States, only they know that the thfng is impossible and that to even attempt it is to destroy the the party and throw it into defeat. The fact is not altogether anomalous but still it is the fact, the party is bet ter than its leaders. The rank and file are honest, intelligent and patriotic; the men who control it are dishonest, corrupt and profligate. Grant carried the State by nearly 15,000 majority; an avowed and open candidacy by Gor ham for the Senate would beat .the party by 30,000 votes. Mr. Gorham can have the position as canidateof the party for the Senate if he desires it; he has the orgnizatioo ; he can control the primaries ; he has County Commit tees of San Erancisco and of nearly all the more populous towns. Senator Sargent is under bonds to aid Gorham, and certain of the leading Federal officials and are by solemn convenant bound to support him or are in awe of him, .;-..; The railroad ring dare not oppose, an3 even Governor Stanford, if de man ded to come out as his open ally is not strong enough in his millions to refuse htm the support of the rail road influence. But Mr. Gorham will not be a candidate for the United States Senate, and the single and only reason why he will not be is from the fact that not all the Plug Ugly senti ment of San Francisco, not all the power of Federal ofScials, not all the money of the railroad is able to deceive or influence or bribe the Republican masses into his support ; consequently Mr. Gorham will decline being a can didate, and all his strikers allies and hirelings will from this election day swear that he is not and will not aud never intended to present himself for the position. But they will do the next thing. If Gorham cannot be King he will endeavor to be Warwick. If be cannot be Senator he will en deavor to make the Senator. 'In this contest there will be two things to conceal. Two points to be covered, two masked batteries to be kept hid : "Gorham and the railroad the tactics will be apparent non-act ion 'Good men for the Assembly and Senate who are unpledged." Merchants and mechan ics will be sought out who have never in office, but who are known to be pliable in the hands of the men who favor them, who will belong to the ring by virtue of an original discovery In San Francisco the plan will be as follows! the County Committee Gor ham will call a primary election to 1 Convention (Gorham); candidates will be named for the senate and Assent bly, unpledged (Gorham); the Re publican partv will be allowed to nominate for city and county officers good men; the pressure will then be brought, "Do not destroy the party. If an independent movement is foraU dable, the Gorham legislative movers will go in with it, aid to git it up, and then trade with it. The movement going oo now. There are one hundred men in Saa Francisco today who think of nothing else, and who devote all their time to this conspiracy ; one of these days we will give their names, their employment and their places. We will expose their conspiracy, and will inform our readers who are their active and who are their unconscious allies. We will expose the matter to its minutest detail. We will give the time and place of their private meet ings, and we shall be surprised if we are not able to advise our readers in proper time everything that shall have occurred in their most secret conclaves. The Chroniaal emphatically dis claims that it i the crgan of.any party. It is and will always keep independent of party influence, and while it ia the very earnest and zealous friend of the people, it will sustain the men and measures ,of nny orgaaization that has for its accomplishment popular reform and an honest administration of polit ical affaire. We championed the cause of Gov. Booth against the intrigus of a peofli gate political clique, and gave him efficient aid in his nomination and election. We were first, foremost and latest for General Grant for the Presi dency. So long as the party of Repub licanism continues to be the party of principle and honest government, it is our pleasure and our duty ti support it. It is equally our duty to fieht bad eaders and corrupt practices. Hating ef ntrigue and despising the subtle, dishonest efforts to debaueh and dishonor a party, wa are for fair, open, manly work. Either that or defeat. ChronicU. The Career of A Lively ItlSSer." UliTORVOP P. n. 8. PINCI1I3ACK GRANTS I LOUISIANA FET P.B. 8. Pinchback is a light, saf fron colored negro, of good personal appearance, lie was raised in Ueor gia and U the son of Major William Pinchback, a once wealthy planter. 'Pinch," as hd is more frequently called by the unterrified oftbeCreseut City was boru in 1S37 or 1833. Be- ng a really handsome child he was much liked by his fattier, who, before dying, 1848, provided that his pet and his mother and her other children should be sent to Cincinnati where for about a year they lived in comfortable circumstances, Pioch going to public school, where he received tbe rudiments of a very fair education. But his mother's slender means gradually be came exhausted, and her son was com pelled to seek employment. Like hundreds of other young darkies he went a steam boating, and tor some years ran on the Ohio making frequent visits to Nt w Orleans. Being a bright active youth, he soon became a favorite with travelers. This was when a rat tling game of cards was played on al most all the river boats and no one took more interest in them than did the future politician. Nor did his knowl edge of the game stand amiss. Pinch took everything in from the mysteries of draw Porker to the knotty points of political discussion, and no one prob ably is better posted to day on the Kansas Missouria row than our so called Governor. During the early partofthewar Pinchback is said to have laid off very quietly in New Or leans, But I have heard, and that too from persons of his own color, that he spent most of his time and obtained almost bis whole living as a runner for Foster, who kept a "slave pen" at the corner of Union and Barronne streets, and for a similar iustitution that used to be located near Dauphine and Frplanade streets. As a runner, I mean as a man employed' to hunt up the whereabouts of runway negroes with a view to their recapture. Pinoh- h&tk, tawrer, like a good many others of his race, turned up "trooly loii" af- j ter Farragut had succeeded in plac ing his fleet in front of the city al though just before that he had enroll ed his name as a member of the " free colored battalion" ordered to be raised for the defense of New Orleans by its 'then commander. Governor Mans field Lovell. But when Butler called for troops Pinchback volunteered and became a member of the First Louis iaaa Native Guard, and did good ser vice, behaving with mucb pluck and efficiency in one of the charges partici pated in by that command against Port Hudson. Shortly after the fall of that Strong hold Piuchback for some reason was discharged, returning to New Orleans, where he became quite a favorite at headquarters, maioly, it U said, for his capacity for brioging infor mation as to what was going on in New Orleans both among its citizens and the officers stationed in their houses located on Custom House and Basin Streets. Pinch, was, however, ambitious to wear shoulderstraps, and Banks ap pointed him captain of the First Louis iana Cavalry of African descent He went to work and quickly succeeded in obtaining some forty or fifty Negroes, most of whom were recruited from the Parish prison. But before mustering them into the United States servioe the War Department issued an order forbidding tbe issuing of commissions to negroes. Pinch was consequently beaten out of his company, which was subsequently given to a young man form Maine, and the Company became known as "Company E. Fourth United States Cavalry." Pinchback, now gave up all ideas of becoming a soldier and settled down to business. He either became the actual owner or a silent partner of a famous negro coffee house (which in New Orlaaos Baeaaa a place where whisky and everylkMsig else except coffee may be bought) known as the "Young America," and sitnatad, 1 lhiok,at tho corner ot Trema and Coati streets, Here PioohUaek made some money. He phjad a fiae gaaae of cards but few could beat him, and a he was very temperate, ha very seldom ended a loser. He was an enthusiastic admirer of cockfighting and almost every Sunday niortiing could be found at the Old Spnish Pit, backing his opinion to the tune of fifties, occasion ally a hundred on the respective merits of the gray or red even in this as in most games, Pinch was a luky cua and at the last cockfight I waa at I saw him " scoop in " the Hon. Johii, of New York, for a couple of hundred. In 1867 Pioohbck turn ed his attention to politics, and waa elooted a delegate to the Constitutional Convention that awaembled in Mhan- icis Institute in the latter part of Novem ber of that year. Here Pinoh's early knowledgo, with his natural sharpness and some study, oame into play. In the convention he was a fluent and for cible speaker at times quite conserva tive in bis views. He had great influ ence with many of the other negro delegates ; but toward the latter part of the convention he erased to ba sonaerv ative. making on ona oeaasosi a very radical speech, in wkiefc ke tkreatoned the inhabitants of New Orleans with the torch. How the convention oou concluded its labors, the so called adoption of the Constitution by tbe people is now a matter of history. Pinchbaok was now a thorough politician He was elected from hi district either as a member of the House or to tbe Senate. If to the former, at the next eleotion he was elected Senator. Auy how he was the intimate friend of Governor Wsrmoth. So muoh so that the State convention held in August 1871, which was the beginning of the present trouble, when the custom house party under tho leadership of Casey Packard and company captured the convention. Pinchback siding, with Warmoth, was electedPresident of the Warmoth convention, and subsequently became chairman of the committee appointed to wait on President Grant at Long Branch. In November of tho same year Oscar J. Donn, Lieutenant- Governor of Louisiana, died. War moth at once called a special session of the Senate to elect a president, who should be Lieutenant- Governor of the State. The Senate met on tho 6th of December, and after some sparring be tween the factions Pinchback was elected by a vote from 18 to 19. The row witnssed at the opening portion of the last session of the Louisiana Legislature will be remembered by those conversant with the doings in the " reconstructed " Southern States, and J)9W Pinchback was still loyal to his friend Warmoth. But when the Presidential question became hot they differed, Warmoth declaring himself in favor of the Cin cinnati movement, while Pinchback with his usual sharpness, stuck to Grant. The State conventions were held and Pinohbaek received the nomination fr Congressman at large, his opponent being his old political chum, Captain Georgo A. Sheridan. The election took plane on Monday. November 4, the result of which was no doubt a triumph for what wad known as the Fuaion ticket, which was made up partially of Democrats and " Liberal Republicans," Warmotti giving the ticket his full support on the condition that if tbe election resilted favorably he ahonid be the candidate of the party to fill the vacan cy in tbe United States Senate caused by the expiration of the term for which William Pitt Kellogg was elected. But the authorities at Washington think differenly, and PinoLback has been declared etacUd aa Congressman at large. This brings Pinchback. down to the present situation. " But what ia Mr. Piuahback's pres ent social position in New Orleans ?" "Oh! tbe leaat sid about Pinch's social position or moral the better. You can caUulata what he is from what I have told you of his life during tbe last ten years. Au.ong the so called moral members of ' ooUrxl society " in New Orleaaa, Piooh ia a shining light. He is deacon of a church 9 held in thn Straight University, and can be seen almost any Suuday passing he plate ronud. Like nearly all his raoe he is aa enthustaatio admirer of faat horaes, aud I btlteve drives a team of troUera. But I would adviso the meinWcrs of the nzi Congress not 0 ask Piaeh to their roou for a quiet game at cards, for if they do Pinch will ba them at any game, and if ibay quarrel w'uh him tbey will find hien a good ahot.
