No portion of the career of General Geary is more charccteristic of the native ability of the man than the few years he spent in California, and lest the uninform ed si ould commit the error of supposing that his military record is his sole recom mendation as a candidate, we ask attention to the facts of Lis life iu the El Dorado State. It was upon his return from .Mex ico, and &i a reward for his brilliant ser vices during the war, that he was appoint ed by President Polk to the office of Post master of San Francisco, in the yoarlSdO, when the rush t gold hunters had made that city a wonderful emporium. Things were in such a chaotic condition that the Prcsideut empowered General Geary to establish post offices and appoint post mas. ters all over the territory, to create maii routes, and contract foi carrying the mails. Iu fact the entire postal service in Cali fornia was given iu his charge, and ho was a sort of sub Postmaster General for the Pacific cowuics. In pursuance of this he organized the mail service on the coast, aud carried to the new regions of the in terior the blessings of tegular communi cation with the rest of the world. It was on the 22A of January, 1S49, that he was appointed to this office, aud so influential did he at once become in California, that when in tho eusuing August, the municipal election in San Fiaociseo took place, ho was elected with out opposition First Alcade, the chief of fico of the city, notwithstanding that there was an animated contest, and tin different tickets for the other offiees. It is difficult at this day to appreciate the formidable task thus assigned to Gen. Geary. Few can now be made to under, staud ths eondition of a city whose only system of law was Spanish and colonial, aud whoso population, gathered as by a whirlwind from all the ends of the earth, comprised so much of the very dregs of c.fintw ltui fonprfil fitanrc wilb bi n. cipal system, introduced the common law, jacd, a3 a yii '-. trtbi oyer t' hundred civil and criminal cases, and from his decisions not more than a dozen ap- peals were ever made, not "One of which were successful. Ili3 office made him Mayor, Sheriff, Recorder, Register, No- tary Public, Coroner, Marshal and Judge, and ha held a police court, an alcado'a deed, this oflice gave him so niucu jower that municipal organization was entirely made by his exertions. At the expiration of his first term ha was re-elected with little opposition, aud his second term was signalized by an act that descryes special commemoration. This was a refusal to grant away city lots at the old Mexican price of Iwelvo dollars for fifty vara lots, as provided for by the Mexicau laws. Geary niaintaineil that this rate, fixed for a period auteriur to gold dis covet ies, was au outrage on the publia interests at a time when the rush or gold eccXera Had. maJo every foot of ground in the city so valuable. The cu pidity of the politicians Jed them to try to force a continuance of this, but Geary urged that the whole of the public lands; of the c:ty at this rate would biin enly 25,000, whereas they should be worth nn immensely greater sum. To settle tho niiitter, a small portiop cf the lands were put up at auction and sold for half a mill ion of dollars, at which rate the whole would be worth several millions. Ey this means the attempt fo swindle the city out of its lands was ended. On May 1st, 1950, the city adopted iti new charter, and under it Geary was elect ed Mayor, which office he filled to the end of bis term with eminent ability, as is shown by his messages and other publio papers. lie was also Prcsideut of th Board of Commissioners of tl2 funded debt of San Francisco, aud President of the Hoard of Health, in both of which positions he rendered very valuable servi ces ; so that he was thoroughly idetifijj with the orgauization cf tlio city under the Amcricsa system, lie took a very active part in securing California as a free State from the pernicious influences of slavery, at the time .vben the formation of a State Constitution was on fuot, his Penn sylvania instincts bc'ng as strong there as subsequently were those of Reeder iu Kansas. As Gen. Geary left San Francisco in February, 185-, and returned to his farm in Westmoreland couuty, Pa., his publiu career lasted about three years. Yet ia that brief space was compressed so much activity and usefulness as to prove a mau of Crst-r.ite capacity for any public bust nes. The exact habits of thought conse quent upon his life as a civil engineer, the promptitude in action inculcated by a responsible cemmaud as a soldier in a suc cessful foreign war, made Lira just the man lor the needs of a turbulent and law less cpmmutjtry Itfce Ssn Tranctseo In tftc days of the gold excitement. Gen. Geary had ever a shrewd knowledge of what to do aud when to do it, so that he has never yet made a mistake in his calculations. We have shown this "by bis early life, ami we now point to his California record a.i furnishing the most triuniphaut prof of his ability, aud of that peculiar kind, too, that 13 needed for the executive duties of the gubernatorial office in Pennsylvania. His carter a a soldier "-as in teepinp; with his public record in civil life, and both alike iu the highest degree honora ble to him ajd to his native State. A FACT WORTH mXTLNG. At a second-cVs hotel :n Trackfort, Ky., a few days since, a little girl entered the bar-room, and in pitiful tones, told the bar-keeper that her mother had sent her there to get eight cent3. 'Eight ceuts V said the bar-keeper. "Yes, sir." What docs your mother want of eight cents? I don't owe her anything." "Well," said the child, "father spends all his money here for rum, and we have nothing to eat to day. Mother wants to buy a loaf of b.eid." A loafer suggested to the bar keeper to kick the brat oat. "No," said the bar-keeper, "I'll gire her mother the money ; and if her father comes back again, I'll kick him out." Such a circumstance never happened be fore, and may never happen again. Hu inanity owes that bar-keeper a vote of thanks.
