LETTER FROM DOWNEY.

EDITOR HERALD: Evidence of this
youthful city's prosperity is apparent
on every hand. Notwithstanding the
high price of lumber, the sound of the
saw and hammer may be constantly
heard. The great want is cheaper
freight, that building material may
not cost so much. Fences are needed
by farmers who cannot afford to pay
present prices for lumber to make
them. Scarcely anything would add
more to the prosperity of this village
and of the surrounding country than
reduction in the price of lumber.
Strangers coming here are apt to
think that too much is asked for land.
This is not the case, except, perhaps,
in very few instances. In general it is
worth more than the price put on it.
Recently an old settler gave $1,000 for
ten acres of land. He knows its value
and considers it cheap. But politics
is the all-absorbing theme. A few
words will suffice to express the feel
ing here. 1t is only necessary to
state that it is unchanged. Failure is
decidedly the term to apply to the
meeting last Friday evening. 1t was
worse than that. The speakers,
col. PEEL AND GEN. HOWARD,
Labored earnestly. but apparently
with the least possible effect. "'Twas
throwing words away" Houghton's
is lost cause. He has been tried,
and the people are willing to risk
change. In the midst of the Generals
speech-presumably toward its close
two enterprising young Americans
withdrew to the rear ola store to settle
little Misunderstanding in the old
pugilistic style. The most of the au-
dience adjourned to witness the affair
and forgot to return. Seeing how he
was wasting his powder, the General
concluded his speech and the two
wended their way to their rooms, sad
der and, it is hoped, better men.

THE PHELPS MEETING.
RepubIIcans1 in Council.
The Last Funeral Notes.

Quite an audience gathered last even
ing in front of Temple Block to well
come Hon. It. G. Phelps, Republican
candidate for Governor. The meeting
was called to order by Gen. Bonton,
who presented the following list of of
fieers:
President, Hon. J. G. Eastman;
Vice-Presidents, w. w. Robinson, A.
G. Mappa, M. Keller, J. J. Carrillo,
L. Litchtenberger, Major H. Hancock,
Henry Osborn, f. Stanford, Don Man
uel Requena, Gen. Phineas Banning,
c. G. Lips, J. w. Haverstick, William
Osborne, M. Whistler.
The President in taking the chair
made pertinent Republican speech,
closing by introducing the orator of
the evening.
We cannot reproduce the speech
which was mainly devoted to COM
parison of figures showing that our
State and County governments are too
expensive, and that in the matter of
taxes this State is worse cursed than
South Carolina. He showed that the
expenses of State had increased from
ST, 146,OOO in 1862 to $3,524,OOO in 1873.
The Insane Asylum in 1862 cost $40,
900, and in 1873 the expenses had in
creased to $222,000, while the number
of inmates had only doubled. The
State Prison in 1861 cost only 500, 500,
but in 1858 $148,000, though
the increase in numbers was
only 80 per cent. He claimed that no
government was pure that was not
economical. Any tax on the people
beyond the amount necessary to carry
on an economical government was
legal robbery. His remedy for all
these evils was: 1st. Do away with
sinecure offices and useless commits
sions. I'd. Reduce the pay of officers
to the level of other remployments. Sd.
Do away with the vicious system of
having two or three salaries attached
to one office.
His speech throughout was terribly
severe on the extravaganza and cor
ruption that have cursed the Booth ad-
ministration, and showed up Booths
pretensions to reform as the mutter-
ings of q demagogue. During its de-
livery, we noticed that our Independ-
ent friends, who are prominent in the
unholy alliance with the Republican
party for the purpose of getting the fat
offices, looked melancholy. Alto
gether, it will be apt to knock to pieces
the frail structure called the Independ-
ent party in this county before elec-
tion day, and we would advise our
friends of that party to leave the sink
ing ship and let her go down with the
wire-pullers aed office-seekers only.

Vahle deliberately shot his wife at the

the killing of her husband. The ques-
