Howard and Peel VS.. Wigginton.

The vagaries of great men are like
the love of God. Itwas NAPOLEON, We
believe, who trembled at the sight of
a cat; Senator BOOTH turns pale when
he sees woman; General BIDwELL
cannot drink whiskey-in public;
FITCH and PICKERING go into spasms
if the word Chronicle is uttered in
their hearing and the name of Wig
CLINTON affects General HOWARD and
Colonel PEEL as the sight of water
does rabied spaniel, or red shirt a
Spanish bull. Those old "life long"
Dmocrats find it incumbent on them
to travel about the country telling
the people how they can and will vote
for Governor STANFORD's man,
HoUGHToN. To those who heard Mr.
WIGGINToN's speech in this city and
to those who have heard him speak
anywhere, the following extracts made
from the speeches of the Gen. and Col.
at San Bernardino will read like q
page from the "Arabian Nights"
The General who has been life long DEM
ocrat, in his happy and telling manner
pointed out the corruptions OF the two great
political parties and showed the necessity
of a change He dwelt upon the Importance
themselves, instead of letting a clique, a
Court House ring, vote for them, he said they
should vote for the best men, let them be in
whatever party they may be found. He then
hot fI,a in a
ifornia was the Texas Pacific Railroad,
that 1T loomed up above all others, head and
shoulders, and II we ever had a competing
line ii would be the Texas Pacific, built un-
der the Tom Scott bill. He showed that
Wigginton was in the interest of the Central
Pacific, and that if Houghton was not elect
ed, we could not get competing line.
Col Peel, for an hour, then addressed the
audience in his very interesting manner.
He told us he was Democrat and had been
all his life, he was from Texas and fought in
the Southern army, but that he had come
here to talk on the railroad question. When
Wigginton made speech in Los Angeles he
had long talk with him privately, told him
he was Democrat and was anxious to see
him (W. y elected, but he must come out for
the Texas Railroad Bill. w. told him he
did not understand the bill and could not
say that he was for 1t, he told w, ii was a
question OF more Importance than all Others.
Sometime afterwards he met w. again and
plead with him almost with tears to say he
was far the Central Pacific and would do all
he could to kill the Tom Scott bill. He then
wanted w. to say that he was in favor of the
road being a competing line, and would op-
pose the Central Pacific controlling it. W.
would not say this.
Mr.. Peel said he then left, the most dole
full and distressed man you ever saw and de-
termined to oppose w. He said the next
morning many OF his freinds called on him
and tried to whip him back to support Wig
ginton. He said he had watched W. careful
ly since, and he had been wiggling all around
from lose
At San Jose he denounced the road; but
since then he was know nothing.

THE Republican-Independent con-
vention nominated Mr.. Young for
supervisor. but it subsequently trans
pired that Mr.. YOUNG was of Demo-
cratic proclivities and this did not meet
the wishes of the Federal Officers
who are running the so called Inde-
pendent ticket. So the county COM
mittee was called on and Mr.. YoUNG's
name stricken off the ticket and that
of Col. J. @. A. STANLEY substituted.
The manner in which this was done is
enthusiastically independent. Seven
members of the committee met and
on motion to nominate Col. STAN
LEY four voted aye and three no. The
vote was taken while two of the COM
mittee who were known to oppose a
change on the ticket were coming up
stairs. There is nothing like indepen-
dence. The Independent leaders don't
care what are mans politics so he is
a Republican. A man who is not a
Republican they get off the ticket by
q trick.

Shooting ARRAY.
RENO, New, August 23d.-About
$50 this afternoon a serious shooting
affray took place on the race-track one
mile and and half from this place,
between ]. e. Mooney, a resident of
Virginia City, and Thomas Raymond,
both noted horsemen in these parts,
resulting in the death of an innocent
man by the name of Frederick Twigg,
Bishop Court, Isle of Man, who un-
fortunately was standing near; and,
judging from the position occupied by
the contestants, he is supposed to have
received the ball from Raymond's re-
volver. Twigg had this day been sent
from Virginia City to Reno to take
charge of some horses at the race-track
stables and had been on the grounds
only about half an hour when he re-
ceived the fatal shot. Both Mooney
and Raymond escaped uninjured, not
withstanding they both emptied their
six-shooters at each other and stand
ing only twenty feet apart. The fra

Freaks Of the express"

Genius is proverbially erratic and
the more genius the more of the
Jumping Jack proclivities are notice
able in the subject. This is what is
the matter with the Express. There
is genius on the Express. Not so
much so as is found in the average in
sane asylum, but still good deal.
Where there is genius there is always
considerable nonsense, contradiction
and absurdity. To prove that there is
genius in every line of the Fxpress we
make the following extracts from its
columns:
Whenever you see the statement in a DEM
octatic journal that the Democratic party in
California will be successful this year by such
and such q majority, you may know that he
sees some political tOmbstOnes around and
is whistling to keep his heart from sinking
down into his boots.
A thousand majority for the Independent
ticket, with the present zeal and work kept
up to the day OF election, is q moderate cal
culation.
Constant readers OF the Express know that
we have taken no part whatever, except that
of mere observers, in the contest between
Mr.. Houghton and Mr.. Wegginton, as to
which shall be the next Congressman from
this district
Every day the outlook grows worse for
Wigginton in San Diego county. Senator
Mccoy has added his voice to that OF Wallace
Leach, the Democratic candidate for Assem-
bly,, and says that he will support HoughtOn
for Congress. AS the thing looks now, Mr..
Wigginton's name will not be put on the
Democratic ticket at all in San Diego county.
II it were not for the fear that we might be
called H0ughton organ, we should say that
San Diego county are very sepulchral indeed.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1875-08-24

In this city men are threatened with
ostracism and future defeat if they do
not vote the Independent-Republican
ticket. This is maintaining the right
of man to vote and think as he
pleases with vengeance. The truth
is that when we get down to the un-
derlying principles of the organization,
we find there is no Independent party
in this county. What is called by
that name is nothing more or less
than the Republican party under the
leadership of the Federal Office ring
which is controlled by General BoU-
TON and State Gauger BRIEFLY. We
have heard it whispered that the real
object of the ring in electing Mr..
TEMPLE to the Treasurershipis because
he is rich and they can therefore as
sess him heavily for money to carry
on the Republican Presidential cam
paign of next year. There is not
much independence in the 1ndepen-
dent party of Los Angeles county.
