attempts to dodge the issue by setting
up the fiimsy and untenable excuse
that the State Central Committee had
made his appointments for him and
that he could not change the pro-
gramme. Then when Mr.. WIGeINToN
offers to conform to the programme
of the State Central Committee, Mr..
HoUGHToN finding himself pushed to
the wall and further evasion out of
the question fatty refuses to meet
him at all. This places Mr.. HoUGH-
Ton in an awkward position, yet he
has done the best that he could do un-
der the circumstances. He is well
aware that he is no match for Mr..
WIGGINToN on the stump, and he
knows that to canvass the district
in company with him is the worst
possible thing that he could do towards
securing his election. HoUGHToN's
record cannot be defended before the
people even by himself, and he knows
that WIGGINToN would keep him on
the defensive from the first speech
to the end of the campaign. He knows
that WIGGINToN is an able speaker,
thorough Democrat and, a man of
unspotted record and he dare not
chance the issue of canvass with
him.

Wilmington Harbor.

On Thursday last the brig T. w.
Lucas, Capt Geo. Knack, crossed the
bar and tied up at the Wilmington
wharf This is, we believe the first
brig that ever performed the feat.
Her register is 3O6 tons United
States measurement and her carrying
capacity 500 tons. She was loaded
with Redwood lumber for Griffith,
Lynch & Co., of this city. She came
in on the old channel drawing nine
feet and half of water. The depth
of water in the old channel is twelve
feet while the new channel in which
the dredging is now going on has
over thirteen feet. Capt. Knack is o
navigator of fifteen years experience
on this coast and he unhesitatingly
asserts that he can bring his vessel
up to the wharf with three fourths of
a cargo with which she draws twelve
feet. He has great faith in Whining
ton harbor and believes that the time
is not distant when vessels of much
larger draft than his own will do with
out danger what he has just accom-
plished with the Il. w. Lucas.

THE Jonesville organ affects serious
concern about the circulation of the
HERALD. 1t pretends to think that
our expose of the Santa Monica lot
speculation has lost us subscribers.
This is an insinuation that our people
endorse misrepresentation and decep-
tion, and is an insult to their honesty
and intelligence. We take pleasure
in assuring our little evening cotem-
porary that the HERALD's circulation
in this city alone has increased two
hundred copies since we commenced
warning the people against the Jones'
vile lot enterprise. We nave gained
many subscribers and to our knowl-
edge have not lost u single one. We
might, however, lose a subscriber for
every one the Eapress has and not
feel the loss.

A Party Captured.

The Independent party primary
election which took place yesterday
was one of the most remarkable pro-
ceedings that has transpired in the
United States since the Declaration of
Independence. There were two tick
cts. One, little bit of paper was
called the THOMPSON ticket. The
other was large piece of paper,
something above the regulation size,
and was known as the HOUGHToN and
TEMPLE ticket. Four of the delegates
were on both tickets. The THOMPSON
party seemed to have possession of the
polls and early in the day they in
sisted that all voters should swear to
support the Independent State and
county ticket, without regard to age,
color or previous condition of servi-
tude. This was going 1t stronger than
the platform adopted by the State
Convention required, and under threat
OF opening another polling place, the
THOMPSON iron-clad oath party re-
laxed somewhat, and the struggle
went on. The HoUaHToN-TEMpLE
forces were marshalled by Gen. BoU-
TON, delegate to the Republican State
Convention, and J. r. BRIERLY,
United States Gauger. also delegate
to the State Convention, member of

The Democratic County Committee
met yesterday and called Democrat
ic County Convention, to take place
in this city on Wednesday the 4th day
of August. The primary for the elec-
ton of delegates to the Convention will
be held throughout the county OH Sat
urday the 3lst inst. The proceedings
of the Committee will be found in
another column. This action of the
County Committee is in accordance
with the wishes of the Democracy of
Los Adgeles county. There is no
doubt but that full delegation will
be present and that a ticket will be
nominated composed of as good men
as can be found in the county. 1t will
receive the unanimous support of the
Democracy and be elected by hand
some majority.

Houqhton Declines.

THE friends of Mr.. HoUGHToN in
this portion OF the district are endeav-
oring to make capital for him by cir
culating the report that he is vastly
superior in intellect and oratorical abil-
ity to Mr.. WIGGINToN, his Demo-
cratic competitor. Those who are per-
sonally acquainted with both gentle
men need not be told this report has
not the slightest foundation in fact.
Mr.. WIGGINToN is q more eloquent
speaker, an abler lawyer and citizen
of more unimpeachable integrity than
Mr.. HoUGHToN. He is well and fa-
vorably known to every resident of
the San Joaquin valley, and no man
who has made his acquaintance but
speaks of him in the highest terms.
We are enabled to lay before our
readers information which will con-
vince all, that Mr.. HoUGHToN does
not entertain the mean opinion of Mr..
WIGGINToN's ability that his friends
are endeavoring to create among the
voters of Southern California. Early
in the campaign Mr.. WIGGINToN sent
a letter to Mr.. HoUGHToN proposing
that they should canvass the district
together. To this letter Mr.. HoUGH-
TON made no response. A few days
ago Mr.. WIGGINToN sent to Mr..
HoUGHToN bv the hands of Mr. How
ELL of San Jose second letter of
which the following is copy:
SAN FRANCISCO, July 90, 1875.
HON. 5. o. HoUGHToN, San Jose-Dear Sir:
|, yesterday morning, went to San Jose TO
learn whether or not you would accept my
challenge to canvass the Fourth Congresson-
al District, jointly with me.
was disappointed to learn that you had
come to this city, and was informed that, to
my challenge, you had made reply that your
Central Committee had already fixed your
appointments in the District, and that YOU
could not very well change the programme.
In the afternoon returned to this city and
immediately upon my arrival made inquiry
Ior you, hoplng TO see you here, but found
that you had returned to San Jose. | now
write to say to you that II your appointments
as nXed, are for the principal places OF the
whole District will accept Your appoints
ments as the appointments of our Joint dis
cusslons and will cheerfully meet you at such
places as your Committee have assigned ,tand
divide the time with you, only reaues ting
that, as | expect to speak in your city on Sa t
urday, the 2ith instant, you will meet me
there on that evening, when we will open the
joint discussion.
My friend, Mr. Mark Howell, willypresent
this letter to you, and request that you give
him an immediate reply; and should you ac-
cept my proposition shall be glad to meet
You at San Jose or at this city to arrange the
preliminaries. I am very truly, yours,
p. ID. WIGGINTON.
This letter was promptly delivered
and on the afternoon of the same day
Mr.. WIGGINToN received a telegram
from Mr.. HOWELL informing him
that Mr.. HoUGHToN declined to meet
him on the stump. Now we ask all
impartial readers if this is not square
and unqualified back down on the
part of Mr.. HoUaHToN. First he

Tom Fitch.

In his plea for Jonesville last night
Tom FITCH followed the programme
we predicted he would. He went for
the Southern Pacific Railroad Compa-
ny with the vindictiveness of fellow
who had lived off of their aims and
had been refused further allowance.
The HERALD was the ocean to the
river of his thoughts. He returned
to it again and again and applied to it
the choicest epithets he could find in
his extensive stock of Billingsgate.
He plead for the election of HoUGH-
TON, asked that the hat might be
passed around for a donation to the
Los Angeles and Independence Rail-
road by begging every body to buy
share of stock in the road, or lot in
Jonesville, and made a personal at
tack on Governor DowNEY of char
acter such only as one might expect
from a fellow who could write a
speech against SHARON and announce
that he intended to deliver it in Ne
vada unless an opportunity offered to
sell it for $I9,009999. We do not know
that SHARON was blackmalled, but
we never heard that the speech was
delivered. We have known Tom a
long time and we will do him the JUS
tice to say that he never deserts one
cause until he finds another
that pays better. He was
the friend of the Central
Pacific Railroad Company so long as
that company thought the game
worth the candl e. He is now with
the Jonesville OF spectators because
those schemers may have thought it
was better to have him with them
then against them. The HERALD
mapped out TOMS speech, and adver-
tised the time and place he would de-
liver it free of charge, and in that
speech Tom advertised the HERALD
quite extensively. But a species of
ILL uoGiCc has OCCh uOlC VbC Int pf COO,
to which we respectfully call atten-
tion. For weeks tina paper has filled
its columns with assertions that the
HERALD's expose of the Jonesville
scheme did not affect the success of
that doubtful enterprise. Now, Tom,
if your little organ has told the truth
why have you put your hackers to the
expense of so much platform and so
much gas light to give you an oppor-
tunity to try your hand at the task
which your little organ so signally
failed to accomplish-refute the HER
AIDS facts. And, finally, Hon.
THOMAS FITCH, since you have
thought it necessary to make coarse
personal attack on one of Los Angeles
most worthy citizens, we will go into
the personal business with you, and
ask if you did not, some years ago,
basely desert a wife in this State, and,
like a cowardly cur, leave the poor
woman within few weeks of her con-
finement, to the cold charity of the
world? When you have answered
this question, Mr., Silver-tongued, Hon.
THOMAS FITCH, we will ask you an
other

Borrowing Money.

Borrowing money upon the instalment plan
is attended with these advantages: The loan
can be repaid in small monthly amounts
which include the interest and part of the
principal, so that by the expiration of the term
It c.,n be all paid without any great inconyen-
ience to the borrower; the rate of interest is
generally lower; the expenses OF obtaining
loans, and if it is borrowed upon good paying
property then il often happens that tho rents
will meet the monthly instalments and in
time pay off the debt.
