but little expense in introducing wa
ter into their houses. How these
promises have been redeemed is indi-
Gated in our correspondents letter,
who, by the way, but repeats what a
score or more have asserted and will
vouch for. One year has gone by
since so much was promised, but
nothing has been performed. The
water has been introduced in the
work shop, the hotel and Col. CRAw-
FoRD's residence, and no where else
that we have heard. People who ex-
pected to have water in their house
pipes are compelled to purchase it of
the company at twenty-five cents per
barrel. This bad faith on the part of
the Santa Monica Land Company has
worked serious if not fatal injury to
the little town. People who, through
false promises and the grossest mis-
representation, were induced to pur-
chase lots and build houses on them
are SO disgusted that they are anxious
to sell out at sacrifice and leave.
Lots are not worth more than half
what they were one year ago, and i'm
provement has in great measure
ceased. All this has resulted from the
failure of the company to keep its
promises.

PHILADELPHIA, June 6, 1876.

PHILADELPHIA, June 6, 1876.
EDITOR HERALD.-The entrance to
the main building of the Exposition
must be nearly four miles from the
center of the city. For visitors whose
time is limited, it is great conven-
fence to put up at the hotels near the
grounds. The Globe and Transconti-
mental are Immediately in front of the
main entrance. The accommodations
are first class and attentions perfect.
The walters are the freedmen of
Maryland as rule, and ever ready at
beck or nod.
ALL THIS PORTION OF THE TOWN
is NEW,
Built for the occasion on rented
ground, belonging to the rings. There
is nothing in this goodly city of broth
erly love (God bless the mark but
rings, from the gospel down to stuff
ing the ballot-box. The Exposition
rings are beginning to be alarmed ,and
it is quite evident that the matter will
not pan out as they expected. They
are down on all local celebrations, and
it is even suspected that General
Grant was induced to hold back his
proclamation of the act of Congress
requesting county celebrations and
historic reviews of the same until the
last hour.
THE CAMERoNs, SENIOR AND JUNIOR,
are great boys, and will do anything
from importing repeating voters from
adjoining States to purchasing Com
mon Council or State Legislature.
Their word lis law with poor Ulysses
The Philadelphia ring has the cream
of selection in the spaces. Their crea-
lures have every position in and out
side of the grounds. They still cry
for appropriations. They want $780,
600 now for their special guests. There
will be terrible accounting when the
thing winds up. And as regards the
daily attendance, it falls fearfully
short of what the Philadeldhia papers
would have you believe. In this
NEW GINGER-BREAD ADDITION,
West of the Schuylkill, the improve
ments, in a great many instances, are
already for sale-coming events cast
a shadow before them, and the far
seeing ones are trying to hedge.
THE UNITED STATES
Government has emptied its Wash
ington Museum and Patent Office to
fill its department here-the collec-
tions of three-fourths of century and
at the cost of many millions, by what
authority know not. 1t is like Grant
opening his office at Long Branch
with Tom Murphy. The show the
Government makes with its cigarship
and few pieces of ordnance renders
the whole affair contemplate in the
eyes Of sensible men, and particularly
to foreigners who know where these
things should be found. 1t is a Won
der that the Smithsonian Institute
has not moved up on wheels here, and
the Treasury Department on patent
rollers, together with the plates that
were so long absent doing the dirty
work of increasing the public debt be-
yond the comprehension or estimate
of any man now living.

TILDEN will, we think, be the nom-
inee of the st. Louis Convention,
and we think further that he is by far
the most available man for the posi-
tion. With TILDEN as their nominee
the Democrats have the best of the
fight, no matter who the Republicans
may select as their candidate. TIL
DEN will carry New York, and the
confidence that he will do so will give
him strength in States that are con-
sidered doubtful. 1t is admitted by
both sides that in contest as close as
the approaching one, it will be New
York that will decide the struggle. If
there is no mistake about this, TIL
DEN is the man the Democrats should
nominate, for there is certainly no
mistake about it that he will carry
New York bv all immense majority.

CONTRARY to our expectations the
Cincinnati Convention did not reach
a ballot for the Presidential nomina-
ton yesterday. We regard this as un-
favorable for BLAINE. He is, how.
ever, very strong, and there is no real
evidence of his having lost strength
last night. The heavy rain which
prevailed in Cincinnati yesterday eve-
ming will force the delegates under
shelter and prevent anything like a
massing of forces. Despite the pre-
dictions of the New York papers and
the manipulations of his opponents we
are still of the opinion that BLAINE
Is the man Governor TILDEN will
have to defeat.

JOHN CHINAMAN is a cunning ami
NAL. He is also patient and persever-
ing. When he cannot move directly
forward he will SO long ways around,
but you will always find him aiming
at the objective point. His peculiar
ity in this respect is illustrated in the
effort to prevent his overrunning this
country. The steamers have been
made uncomfortably hot for him, and
now he comes over on the wings of the
wind. Some four hundred Chinese,
direct from Hong Kong by sail ves-
sells, were landed in San Francisco
few days ago. This is some indication
Of how much in earnest are their
boasted efforts of the Six Companies
to prevent their countrymen from
coming here. Unless Congress inter-
feres the Chinese will continue to flood
this country, but they will come by
sail vessels in place of steamers.

Skirmishing Before the Battle.

CINCINNATI, June 15th.-During
the session of the Committee on Res
Olutions last evening, several planks
on question of protection of life in the
South were presented. w. F. San
ders, of Montana, appeared in behalf
of upper agent of officers of that Ter
ritory and for citizens of the same.
Judge McKeon, of Utah, offered an
anti-polygamy plank; Hon. Charles
Reed, of California, and Senator
Jones, of Nevada, introduced an anti.
Chinese immigration plank. The SUBJ
committee, to which these resolutions
were referred, has been in session all
night.
The Enquirer says there is prospect
of Ben Wade's name being proposed
for the second place, and predicts
Blaine's nomination as certain.
The Gazette says that Judge Hoar, of
Massachusetts, came here for Blaine,
but has turned to Bristow. 1t makes
strong appeal for Bristow, as being a
most fitting man for President; says
there is a great deal of quiet feeling
manifested for Washburne, and it is
thought by many. in case of Blaine
failing on second or third ballot, he
will be brought prominently forward,
and that it will fall either to him or
Hayes, of Ohio. Great pressure is be-
ing brought to bear on some of the
Western delegations to influence them
against Blaine, but so far without sue
cess. Blaine's friends are most thor
oughly organized.

BILE OF STOPPING to such trick, but his
rapid recovery as the hour approached
when it would be necessary to inform
the convention that he had so far
recovered as to be out of danger, and
might be nominated without danger

grounds for suspicion that people not

The San Bernardino Times says:
Yesterday afternoon, while Mathews
mill was In the midst of a tremendous
rush of work, the water all at once
ceased coming down the flume, the
wheel stopped revolving and the ma
chinery came to standstill. There
upon Mr.. Mathews started up the
creek to trace out the cause, and to
his astonishment found mammoth
squaw disporting herself in the fume,
completely damming up the water.
What passed between Uncle Ben and
the aborigine our deponent saith not,
but as the mill is running again we
suppose he persuaded the sportive
damsel to evacuate the flume, and find
some more commodious bathing
place.

The Yuma Sentinel, of the 10th
says: "Bold Robbery" We are in
formed that on last Sunday night,
some men entered the house of Hall
Hanlon, at his Ferry, six miles below
Yuma, and using chloroform upon
Mr.. Hanlon, who was asleep in bed,
proceeded to rifle the house. They
took lot of jewelry, gold dust, mon
ey, and many other articles, even ta-
king Mr.. Hanlon's pants from chair
at his bedside and taking the money
from the pockets. The robbers then
took Mr.. Hanlon's boat, crossed the
river and left for parts unknown. 1t
might be well for our citizens to keep
their shotguns loaded and ready for
such fellows, and look out for chloro-
form.
