A telegram received at the Gazette Office at 6 p.m. last night, says that Ralston jumped off Selby's wharf at North Beach, in bathing suit. He was pulled out and rolled, to no purpose—was dead. From Wednesday's Daily. A POLITICAL ESSAY. In which our Correspondent Discusses the Situation—and Advocates the Republican Cause—and makes Mention of some Local Candidates. There is considerable cheap advertising being done at this time in Democratic journals, since they have found Phelps' stock rising and Bidwell's declining, of what they call Independents who are supposed to be Republicans weary of their allegiance to their party, disguised with its administration of public affairs and suddenly convinced that its principles are all wrong. According to Democratic authority the country is full of these Independents, and the singular part of the story is, that only Republicans see the necessity of acting with the Independents in politics. The conviction has never entered a Democrats' heart or head that he ought to exercise his independence—it would be recency in him to do that—he would be regarded as an apostate by his party; but strange to write, what is obnoxious and abominable in a Democrat to do, is proper noble, patriotic and commendable in a Republican. He is applauded if he turns upon his life-long principles, and at once dignified in manhood and coruage, the moment he assails an organization which saved the national life and maintained the honor of the National Government. Thus, the bare idea, the vital force, motive and object of the Independents is reduced to the simple purpose of destroying the Republican party, that the Democratic organization may get into power. It and several other matters of equal interest. We suppose that it was a mere overnight on the part of our Democratic friends, who all without exception, expatiated on the absurd and exploded idea that Gen. Grant was an aspirant for a third term; on specie payments; the 15th amendment; the force bill; Louisiana affairs, etc. The people could not see, in this section, how, by electing these men to the State Assembly, District Attorney's office and other minor offices, it would remedy these wrongs of which they are loudly complained. We don't consider the subjects they discussed pertinent, or in any way connected, with the offices they aspire to fill. Now, there is time before the election—to remedy this defect in their campaign, and our advice would be for them to do so. If they cannot do any better, pursue the plan adopted by the friends of the Independent candidate for Treasurer. In lieu of speech-making they buy a supply of whiskey and send a barrel here and there "where it will do the most good," which makes the participants thereof very enthusiastic for the candidate, while the corn-juice lasts. The Reverends Teal, of Ohio, White and Hickey regaled the people with Gospel Truth on last Sabbath. Santa Ana, Aug. 23, 1875. From Thursday's Daily. The Independent Meeting. Last evening the County Independent nominees addressed the people of Anaheim for the last time previous to election. Mr. Bailey was the first speaker. In the course of his remarks he alluded in severe terms to the underhanded efforts of Mr. Lambourne, his Democratic opponent, to injure him in the estimation of the people by falsely stating that he (Bailey) was put forward in the interest of County Division. Mr. G. L. Russell, of Santa Ana, next occupied the platform. He recounted the circumstances of his defeat before the Democratic convention, Pertinent Question We find the following Herald: To Hon. John R. McCooney, T. Hazard, Alexander Lambourn, Esq.: Assuming the right to legislative candidates, I am sure you in favor of an efficient general law structure of squirrels? 2. Are you in favor of using practical education in tries in the State University spirit of the plan contended "Hand-Book of the Kansas cultural College,"—a book I leave with the editor—or on a similar plan. Are you in favor of carrying industrial and theoretically the University in Los Angeles? Will you have the kind answer through the press rostrum? Respectfully. From Friday's Daily By Stage from Los Angeles hara. Eds. Gazette:—This one day, and presents which may be of interest readers. We leave Los Angeles, which, of course early start, especially in to take breakfast. Agent informed us that worry about an early could be well supplied fifteen miles out. But he blandly announced at the breakfast station hands, and we had better bite. The matter being arranged, and with a hail of contingencies, we and off. The first station the foot-hills to the northern gales, and presents no interest. We pass t to do that—he would be regarded as an apostate by his party; but strange to write, what is obnoxious and abominable in a Democrat to do, is proper, noble, patriotic and commendable in a Republican. He is applauded if he turns upon his life-long principles, and at once dignified in manhood and coruage, the moment he assails an organization which saved the national life and maintained the honor of the National Government. Thus, the bare idea, the vital force, motive and object of the Independents is reduced to the simple purpose of destroying the Republican party, that the Democratic organization may get into power. It is expected that Republicans, who intend to vote for Bidwell, Pacheco & Co., will set fire to their own strongholds, weaken their own lines of defense, abandon their own posts of duty, in order that the Democratic party, which neither merits nor has the power to achieve success, may enter and take charge of the State Government. The sad fate of Republican-Independents East of the "Rockles" should be a sufficient warning to all honest Independents on this side. Poor, honest, decluded Horace Greeley, for whom Gen. McConnell worked so hard, misled by his good heart, blinded by the flattery of false friends, and the Independent idea, was induced to run for the Presidency. Charles Sumner is another martyr to the same idea. Carl Schurz is still living to prove the truthfulness of the assertion that the Democracy have turned tail on every Independent-Republican that ever associated with them as soon as they got through using him. He was the soul and idol of the movement. He gave it all the eloquent force it ever possessed; defended and dignified its objects and yet the very first chance the Democracy had to show their gratitude for such services, they kicked Schurz outside and adopted as his successor in the U.S. Senate, a man who has scarcely the ability to serve with credit in a town council, his only strength laying in the fact that he was once a Confederate General. Every vote cast for Bidwell for Governor might as well be cast for Irwin, for it is now generally conceded fact that the main fight is between Phelps and Irwin, and that Bidwell will be distanced. The contest made here by the Independents is a little different from that made in the East. Here they do not possess the suspicion of political honesty in their efforts to defeat the Republican ticket, and thus forever disrupt the Republican party in this State. Their ticket is composed mainly of soreheads from both parties, the former predominating, evidently intended to catch honest Independent votes. They cannot rule and they evidently intend to attempt ruin. The Democrats have nominated their most radical men for office, and then coolly look for intelligent Republicans to vote for the Bidwell-Pacheco combination, and thus place them in power. But these old tricksters are reckoning without a host. The wheels of progress never turn backwards. They may succeed in getting a few individuals to vote who proved recurrent to the Republican party to improve their personal fortunes, and not to advocate the cause of reform, but they can no longer delude the great and intelligent Anaheim for the last time previous to election. Mr. Bailey was the first speaker. In the course of his remarks he allude[d] in severe terms to the underhanded efforts of Mr. Lambourne, his Democratic opponent, to injure him in the estimation of the people by falsely stating that he (Bailey) was put forward in the interest of County Division. Mr. G. L. Russell, of Santa Ana, next occupied the platform. He recounted the circumstances of his defeat before the Democratic convention, and as he was convinced that his overthrow was due to Messrs. Ryan and Rowan, he was doing all in his power to secure the defeat of those gentlemen. He said that this would be the second time in thirty years that he had scratched a Democratic ticket, but as Ryan had failed to fulfill certain promises made to the speaker, he must depart from his usual custom and scratch him off the ticket. He made certain other charges against Mr. Ryan, which are refuted in a communication in another column. Messrs. Hazard and White delivered very effective addresses. Mr. Theo. Lynill was the last speaker. He contrasted the merits of the candidates upon the different tickets; his conclusion being in favor of the Independent nominees. A Timely Proposition. We ask our citizens to give the following letter a careful reading; and we would advise that some steps be taken to ascertain the feelings of the community in regard to procuring some means of extinguishing fires. MERCED CITY, CAL., Aug. 24. Eds. ANAHEIM GAZETTE—Gentle: If your people desire it, I can furnish them a hand engine, double decker, that twenty men can work on, with 1,700 ft of leather hose, for about $1,500; perhaps $1,550 delivered on board ship. The engine is No. 1 of her class; been used five years; in perfect order. Her owners will take a steamer, "Amoskeag," third class," and sell their hand machine. Parties in Fresno are now negotiating for the purchase of this machine. Perhaps your people will consent with alacrity to buy her, as the expense is small, compared with that of a steamer. I should add that the complete outfit consists of one engine, a hose Jack, or Jumper,taking 800 feet of hose, and 1,700 ft of leather hose. The cost of all is about $1,800, little more or little less." The hose may be defective; doubtless it is leather hose is likely to be. It requires frequent overhauling, but will serve various purposes, as in the line of pipe for filling tanks etc. This outfit with 500 feet of new Carbolized hose can be delivered on the ship at your anchorage at San Pedro worry about an early mile out.

The Democrats have nominated their most radical men for office, and then coolly look for intelligent Republicans to vote for the Bidwell-Pacheco combination, and thus place them in power. But these old tricksters are reckoning without a host. The wheels of progress never turn backwards. They may succeed in getting a few individuals to vote who proved recruitment to the Republican party to improve their personal fortunes, and not to advocate the cause of reform, but they can no longer delude the great and intelligent mass who believe in principle, who have heretofore acted in good faith and who will continue to do so hereafter by an adhesion to the Republican party, that will put a stop to the Democratic victories in California for the remainder of the century. Descending from State to county politics, which is very badly mixed so far as foretelling the result is concerned, we had a lot of Independent speakers here on Saturday night, which embraced the finest oratorical talent which any political party has voted for us heretofore. General Howard and Col. Peel delivered fine speeches in favor of the Texas Pacific railroad, and the author of the bill authorizing its construction, allowing the thirty-second parallel of latitude from Marshall, Texas, to San Diego, on the Pacific coast—Sherman O. Houghton, which, if possible, aroused a greater enthusiasm in his favor than ever existed in this section before. Mr. Hazard and Mr. Bailey also delivered speeches, presenting reasons why they should be sent to Sacramento to represent this county in the legislature. S. M. White, candidate for the office of District Attorney, made a powerful appeal in his own behalf. He created a favorable impression on our citizens, who regarded him as the finest oratorical effort of all the speakers present. Mr. Furlong, candidate for the office of County Superintendent of Public Schools, presented his claims in a clear, forebear manner that made a pleasing impression on his auditors. His chances are very bright in this section. One advantage the Independent speakers have of the Democratic is that they have confined themselves more to discussing county matters, in which the people are very much interested. For instance, they discussed the propriety of the citizens of the county at large being taxed for the purpose of furnishing fire engines for the city of Los Angeles, and for building bridges within that city's limits, A Refutation of Russell’s charge against Ryan. EDS. GAZETTE: — The statement made by G. L. Russell, at the Independent meeting last night, that the returns of Los Nietos precinct were changed after being placed in the hands of Mr. A. W. Ryan, in favor of myself, and against Lambourne, I assert to be utterly false in every particular, and hold myself ready to prove that it is so. As to Russell’s charge of Ryan using his influence to defeat him in the Convention, I have to say that I was a delegate to said Convention, and voted for Russell. From the personal friendship existing between Mr. Ryan and myself, he would have been as likely to use his influence with me as with anyone else, yet he did not do so to the detriment of Mr. Russell, or in any way whatever, and I believe the same was the case with the entire delegation from Downey. I would further state that Mr. Lambourne, two years ago, expressed himself satisfied that the result of the primary election, as declared by the County Committee, was just and in accordance with the returns. J. W. VENABLE Anahiem, August 26, 1875 Pertinent Questions. We find the following in yesterday's Herald: To Hon. John R. McConnell, Henry T. Hazard, Alexander Bailey, Fred Lambourn, Esq.: Assuming the right to interrogate legislative candidates, I ask: 1. Are you in favor of the adoption of an efficient general law for the destruction of squirrels? 2. Are you in favor of a law requiring practical education in the industries in the State University after the spirit of the plan contained in the "Hand-Book of the Kansas State Agricultural College."—a copy of which book I leave with the editor for your use—or on a similar plan? Are you in favor of establishing an industrial and theoretical branch of the University in Los Angeles county? Will you have the kindness to answer through the press or from the rostrum? Respectfully, C. Lindley. From Friday's Daily. By Stage from Los Angeles to Santa Barbara. Eds. Gazette:—This trip consumes one day, and presents some features which may be of interest to your readers. We leave Los Angeles at 5 A.M., which, of course, involves an early start, especially if one proposes to take breakfast. The courteous agent informed us that we need not worry about an early lunch, as we could be well supplied at the station, fifteen miles out. But just before five he blandly announced that the kitchen at the breakfast station had changed hands, and we had better get a little bite. The matter being satisfactorily arranged, and with a half a loaf in case of contingencies, we are all aboard and off. The first station winds among the foot-hills to the north of Los Angeles, and presents no objects of special interest. We pass through a wild BY TELEGRAPH.

San Francisco, Aug. 25. On Sunday afternoon while three little children of James Powell were playing near their father's house in Alameda, one of them, aged about 8 years, was dragged away by a man. The other children informed their father, and he and his neighbors pursued, and came upon the fellow while he was just about committing an atrocity on the child. The villian took to his heels, but was pursued by citizens and chased into Alameda Creek where he sank in water and mud up to the arm pits, and could go no farther. The policemen arrested the fellow and he was taken to jail. Great excitement prevailed, and it was rumored that the ruffian would be lynched. LATER. The prisoner confessed his crime; The Bank Crash—Interesting Tale—The Situation of Other Institutions—What Senator James thinks—the cause of the Suspension SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 27, 10 A.M. At 5 P.M. the representatives of the press met in the President's office of the Bank of California, when the following written statement was read: OFFICE BANK OF CALIFORNIA, August 26th, 1875. The Trustees are under the painful necessity of stating to the customers of the bank, and the public, that the bank is compelled to suspend business at the moment, and without reports, as our agencies are not prepared to make a statement as to—the situation of the bank, but are examining its interests critically, and will, at the earliest possible moment, make a drawn report. By order of the Trustees. (Signed) S. Franklinin, Secy. President Ralston then stated that there was no doubt that they would be able to meet all obstacles. In reply to an inquiry as to when they might re-open, Ralston could not say, but upon a repetition of the question, he said: "we do not expect to resume." Ralston further stated that about one million four hundred thousand dollars have been paid out to-day. No assistance had been received from other banks, although application had been made for it. He had telegraphed to all the agents of the bank to close the accounts. No banks in the interior will be at all afflicted by the failure. The excitement on California street was intense. The street was blockaded during the afternoon but the crowd on the whole was quiet and good natured, and much confidence was expressed in the ability of the bank to redeem its obligations. A run was made on the National Gold Bank and Trust Company but the bank continued paying until the closing hour, and asserted its ability to settle all demands in coin or bonds. The other banks in the city report no unusual call on them. The San Francisco and Pacific Stook Exchanges held no session this afternoon, adjourning to call. The former passed resolutions forbidding the members doing business in the interim. The late hour at which he Bank of California suspended renders it difficult to calculate the effect on financial in- worry about an early lunch, as we could be well supplied at the station, fifteen miles out. But just before five he blandly announced that the kitchen at the breakfast station had changed hands, and we had better get a little bite. The matter being satisfactorily arranged, and with a half a loaf in case of contingencies, we are all aboard and off. The first station winds among the foot-hills to the north of Los Angeles, and presents no objects of special interest. We pass through a wild caillon, called Cahuenga Pass, just before entering what is known as San Fernando valley. This valley is ninety miles long by about ten miles wide. It lays very beautifully among surrounding hills, and if devoted to agriculture, would present a delightful prospect. It is now devoted to sheep. Artesian wells have not as yet been made successful. We quickly cross the end of this valley, and wind in among a series of low hills, until we strike a peculiarly beautiful valley, extending nearly all the way from the San Fernando valley to the Santa Clara. This pleasantly tempered region is occupied by various ranch men, the most extensive of which is the Concejo itanch. This valley is dotted with live and deciduous oak. It lies just back of the coast range of mountains, and has the most delightful atmosphere we have found in California. If artesian water can be secured, this valley will be the paradise for the sickly. The soil is mostly alobe. Our road gradually ascends, until we reach a high bluff, forming the eastern boundary of Santa Clara Valley. At this point our stage puts on shoes, and slides down a sudden grade, almost at an angle of 45 degrees. This descent is about one-half of a mile long, and is the most dangerous point on the road. Not far from the point where we enter the Santa Clara Valley we find natural flowing wells. The surface of the ground for a large extent is covered with the black oil. No attempt has yet been made to work these wells. The people from far and near take the oil home in barrels for lubricating purposes and for light. It must be that there is goal some where near. This place offers an evident bonanza for some one. The Santa Clara valley is one of the richest we have seen in the State. Without irrigation coom and barley are raised in abundance. We understand land can be obtained here for from $10 per acre and up. This part of our trip was very dusty, but we soon passed the rich alluvial plains and found ourselves in San Buenaventura. This town is growing rapidly, and is the export station of a large region of fertile country. There are many buildings going up, and the place had a very busy and thriving appearance. The remaining thirty miles were very enjoyable, being along the coast, and much of the way on the years, was dragged away by a man. The other children informed their father, and he and his neighbors pursued, and came upon the fellow while he was just about committing an atrocity on the child. The villian took to his heels, but was pursued by citizens and chased into Alameda Creek where he sank in water and mud up to the arm pits, and could go no farther. The policemen arrested the fellow and he was taken to jail. Great excitement prevailed, and it was rumored that the ruffian would be lynched. LATER. The prisoner confessed his crime; said his name was King, and was a Dane; promised not to do so again. It is reported that he will be recognized by a child who was outraged in the same neighborhood about a year ago. An attempt was made to assassinate Mr. Stubbs,a sheep-man of San Diego, a few days ago. He was shot by some one concealed in the brush, the ball passing through his hat. The Catholics and the Public Schools — Will not recover — Change of Architect — Attempted Murder by the Whiskey Ring NEW YORK, Aug. 24. Judge Spenser, of Cincinnati, addressed a large audience last night on the political issues of the campaign. He conflined himself principally to discussing the policy of the Catholies in regard to the public school question. He said the Catholic laity would glad to have the clerical opposition to public schools withdrawn; and charged the disturbances, arising out of this question, upon the priests. The school question grows more prominent as the canvas progresses, and in some parts of the state it is thought of more importance than the inflation issue. But little hope is entertained of the recovery of Jas. H. Noe, who was so desperately wounded by a burglar. General Holman, supervising architect of the Chicago Custom House, is ordered to report at once to Washington. It is expected he will be assigned to duty at some other point. His successor has not been named. An assassination by members of the Whiskey Ring was attempted on the person of K. E. Miller, gauger of the Chicago district. Miller furnished information to the authorities against persons of wealth and standing, who were implicated in the whisky frauds. He has been constantly shadowed, and on Sunday he was set upon in a remote part of the city, but fortunately the bullet passed through his arm and he escaped. He is now under the protection of officers. San Francisco Markets. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 26. Wheat bags 9 lb for machine sewed; 9 lb for hand sewed. Barley bags, hand sewed 10].

He strongly disapproved the action of the Brokers in suspending the session of the Board, believing it would tend to increase the panic. Mr. Ralsfon attributed the trouble solely to the fact of a large amount of gold being sent out of the city in the purchase of grain, and consequently no gold was in circulation; but it is strongly believed in many quarters that the difficulty is entirely owing to the locking up of the coin by parties who have payments to make. No runs have been made on the other banks to-day, and it is believed that they are all sound. Aug. 27th, 4 A.M. At 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon the Bank of California closed its books on the public and suspended payments. The intelligence of this action spread throughout the city like wild fire in a high wind, and in ten minutes California street from Montgomery to San Jose was literally blocked with human heads. The cause of the suspension is the locking up of coin by Flood & O'Brien the great rivals of Ralson and the Bank of California. Of course the suspension had its effect upon the other banks, and a run was made on several institutions; depositors drawing out the money as fast as they could get it. The impression is that we are on the eve of a tremendous panic and that there is sure to be a run on all the banks. Many of them will go under. It is the darkest day ever seen on California Street, and it is believed that we are to see times in comparison to which Black Friday in New York will sink into insignificance. Deeds Filed. A.
