Letter from Joe.


THINGS IN GENERAL
Are about all there is Of it as yet.
To be sure. there are many things OF
particular import to certain localities
transpiring, or about to, but which
would net interest the Idaho reader.
For instance, the first of next month
and week is expected to complete
the Pacific railroad to a point as
near San Francisco as it will get for
awhile; and Oakland is sort of prom
ised cheap ferry facilities, and other
favors and prestige. But to offset
that. 81. W." and Threaten to take
stock in new paper over there at
the same time, in which event you
may be benefited in the way of a
loss of some correspondence. There
has been a good soggy wet spell of
weather, which on the whole gave
satisfaction it caught some grain in
the sack. which served the owners
right-at least it will be beneficial
in the long run to the State. Cali
fornia farming is too slip-shod in
every respect, and now that the rail-
road has brought the State into COM
petition generally, it is become nee
essary to reconstruct the State gen.
erally-farming particularly. | don't
think there is going to be crash
here of the sort croakers predict.
The trouble is, that the people are
too much given to judge everything
on the quartz basis-if things pause
or take a turn, they must go to the
devil any how, whether there is any
necessity for it or not. They used
to unlearn a great deal as well as
learn, in California and on the coast.
A few of the heavy operators in one
thing or another may bust or bank
rupt, but generally things are solv-
ent enough hereabouts. The rail-
road, however, is greater leveler
than the business community like to
acknowledge. There is no necessity
for a crash, in the usual sense of the
term: and hence there is no sense in
believing there will be on the other
hand, everything points to better
times soon. But this will not stave
! off the necessity for general over
| hauling and leveling down right
along.
There has been a rush going on in
regard to San Diego, q supposed
terminus of the 32d parallel railroad,
| which at least cannot really benefit
| the place much for several years.
The harbor of San Diego is large
enough 10 accommodate sufficient
shipping for large city, but it is
not one twentieth part the extent OF
the harbor inside the Golden Gate.
Several one-horse towns, all under
| the common title of San Diego. are
scattered round the bay for ten miles,
and real estate agents have been
playing upon that TO a fearful extent;
besides, the title to real estate there
abouts is mostly mixed and uncer-
tain. There is not as much good
available farming land within one
hundred miles of San Diego as there
is in Boise valley besides there Is
little or no water for irrigating, and
! it is a question whether artesian
I wells will bring it. Water at all fii
to drink is sold in the town at SO
much pail-full, and what the peo'
pie lack they make up with bad
whisky. Everything is gobbled OF
fearfully overdone, and if ! were
going to wait for a railroad town al

of San Diego, and that is " the size
of it" at this writing. 1t stands to
reason that the main terminus of the
Southern Pacific road will be on
this bay, via the San Joaquin valley.
There Is an immense amount OF dis
gusting bosh being printed on this
coast against this city, but San Diego
will be q rival to the extent OF q ny
on an ox's horn. The foolish idea
seems to be that there should natu-
rally be but one city seaport, or else
they must be deadly rivals. Vallejo,
28 miles north of here on small
arm of the bay, is promising town,
but it is Illuminating vast quantities
of undiluted bosh on the rival busi-
ness. The old town is dirty DOLBY
scraggling place, of three or four
thousand people little walked up I;
then there is a railroad terminus
town mile and half away in OPP
position, and the Navy Yard on
Mare Island. Real estate is over
done for the present all round, and
should the Benicia road to Oakland,
etc., be completed, the seaport
rival of Vallejo would amount
to a tempest in a tcapot-no more.
The Central Pacific road holds the
cards to the situation generally. and
if that corporation don't play them
to a dot, there is no further use in
prophecy. They have not given up
getting a hold on Goat Island, mid
way between here and the Oakland
boat landing and there is general
belief that the great railroad con-
Germ is going to make a seaport oil
its own with the great water front
donated it by Oakland. With this
road across the continent, and their
roads in progress and projected up
the Sacramento valley to Oregon,
and up the San Joaquin towards the
TETON Pass and the 35th parallel
they have things generally where
the hair is short, or else there is no
use in figures. Another year will
better tell, and it will tell a good
deal too these railroad people gen
orally are getting their ideas up
wonderfully on the subject pertain
ing to this State and coast. The
Vallejo route" to Sacramento is
doubtless thorn in the side OF the
Central on local traffic, and l expect
to see the latter, or somebody in
their interest, commence a road at
Benicia and keep west of the former
road and connect with the Oregon
road about Red Bluff. That road
then could as easily cross the Straits
Of Carouinez and continue down to
Goat Island or the Oakland front as
roads can cross the largest rivers.
Even stopping at Benicia, ETC, 1t
would have an even show with the
Vallejo route, the latter at present
is connected with this city by long
ferry. This sort of speculation may
be of as much interest as

LYNCH LAW.
Dyer County after the Herse
Thieves.
Five Of them taken from Jail
and Shot.
Dyersburg in an Uproar.

We learn from a friend who arrived
yesterday from Dyersburg, Dyer county,
thst the widest excitement was prevail
ing there on Saturday, on account of the
hanging OF five men Dy a vigilance COM
mittes on the night OK the 18th or morn
Ing Of the 30.h.
The circumstances "a near as we could
learn them were SIS fOlleWs: During the
week, Eve men belonging to a regular
band o; hRrse thieves were captured and
lodged In Jail By the patrol. Three of
them, two brothers named Evans, and
one Moody, were carried before q magis
lrate aud fully committed. The other
Two, whose names We have been unable
% learn, were also examined, and re-
msnded.
rne probability is that the law would
have been suffered to take Its course, but
the " Evans, with unparalleled eff.
ffOntery, threatened the magistrate in
Court, and all five of the prisoners
boldly declared that II they were prn-
ished they would wresk vengeance
against the whole community. These
threats, Of course, had the effect of rous.

them, especially those who participated
Ia their arrest originally, as 1t was
against them that the prisoners directed

Nothing was done, however, and the
prisoners were remsndsd to Jail for safe

least 100 surrounded the Jail, took the
prisoners out, and after giving them 8

extracts:
"Tuess men (those executed) were
supposed to be tue leaders of a gang OF
