AT THE meeting of the Democratic Ma
tional Convention at Chicago, on the sth of
July, two noted men, who figured in the
famous Charleston Convention in 1860, will
take a prominent part, viz, Ben Butler and

WITH tho great variety Of tariff planks

ONE of the safest political predictions
that one can make now and bet his last

A Wall from San Gabriel.

EDITOR HERALD Some time since
while reading the HERALD, l noticed
that the Police Commissioners had ap-
pointed two extra policemen to examine
into back yards and out houses in order
to preserve the sanitary condition of the
city. That move was well taken, and
now hope chat the Honorable Board of
Supervisors will do likewise in appoint
ing some similar officers to examine and
abate all puisances found in towns out
side Of your city, aud I most respectfully
call the Honorable Board, or its officers,
attention to the filthy condition of the
San Gabriel Mission. The two Chinese
wash houses maintain two large stagnsnt
pools. During the heated term the air
is filled with an offensive smell from
these wash houses and back yards, and
out houses. The water used for domestic
purposes flows through an open'ditch,
and is kept very unclean. There
are now three cases of typhoid fever
in this district with more to hear
from. It is the opinion Of many citi.
zens here that if this town is left in its
present condition through the heated
term, it will be the breeder OF contagious
diseases. which will ultimately spread
through tbs entire valley. In 1862,
am informed by old residents here, this
town was in its present condition when
the small pox made its appearance, from
which Effects nearly the entire town per
ished. There is enough filth here Il
cause cholera and yellow fever withou
having to import it from France.
Iremain, yours, respectfully. M

Sunday morning Coroner Nadeau inn
panelIed jury and held an inquest over
the remains Of ''Trixey" Tripp, the street
name given to the woman who commit
ted suicide on Saturday night. The jury
returned q verdict of self-destruction.
Yesterday afternoon the funeral of the
deceased took place from the undertaking
rooms Of Ponet & Orr. The body. ele.
gsntly attired was lying in state in one
Of the finest casksts that the establish
ment ever turned out. Numerous floral
pieces Of the most beautif description
covered the coffin and filed the room
with perfume. One piece was broken
column about three feet high, composed
Of tube roses and silax. on the top Of
which rested snow white dove bearing
an olive branch in its mouth. About
twenty-five members Of the demi monde
gathered around the coffin, and Rev. z.
F. Brssee, Of the Methodist Church,
conducted the funeral services.
His remarks were very impressive,
and when he contrasted the feelings
and condition of the unfortunate
woman when she was bright,
pure, innocent girl. with her despair
while leading the dissolute life which
forced her to the act of self destruction,
his hearers were visibly affected, and
sobs and groans filled the room. 1t is
safe to say TINT the reverend gentleman
never spoke words that made more i'm.
preston for the time being than yester.
day.
The cortege, which was large, then
took up its way to the city cemetery,
where the body was Inferred in lot pur
chased by her female companions.
There was quite dispute among the
wealthier Of her female friends as Il
who should bear the expenses of the
funeral. The matter was finally decided
by each member bearing q share Of tht
expenses.

RAILWAY RrApiHc.
How they Work the Men and Trans

Mr.. Otto J. Lockhar., son of Levi ].
Locknart, formerly Of Indiana, but for
years the owner Of rancho south Of
Anaheim, and for years a resident Of
this city, and partner with his father,
has recently been an employee of the
Southern Pacific Railway company, firing
between Mojave and The Needles. He
informs a HERALD reporter that the
sickness among the railway men at The
Needles has been much exaggerated.
Many Of the men were sick, but it was
caused by the use of ice while suffer-
occurred, but the sick men were placed
in the railway hospital, where they re-
ceived the best Of care. Mr.. Lockhart
says that there is no fresh water east Of
Newberry station, and that al the
wells east OF there have struck
big A1w OF salt water. The
distance is 2i0 miles between the
two termini, and the freight and
passenger crews were compelled to run
through each way, without stoppage or
rest. Notwithstanding the reported
change in the ownership Of this branch.
there has been no change in the employees,
who are still paid by the Southern Pa.
citic Railway Company. MIR. Lockhart
came in for the last time on Friday, and
left for Yuma, via the Southern route,
yesterday, on train No. %. On this
route all freight trainmen get lay of OF
one train, each way, at Indio. half way
to Yuma. total distance of 24S miles,
being mush easierroute to travel. Our
informant states that Wellington coal
can be thrown into the engine fire box
in big Jumps, and heats well, while the
British Columbia and Washington Terri
tory coal has to be broken up in small
pieces to avoid coking in the fire-box.
Quite number. Of the trainmen who
were running with Mr.. Lockhart on the
Needles route have been Transferred 10
the Southern route. evidently meaning q
change of all the force from the northern
to the southern line, preparatory to o
change Of ownership Of the road.

Mr.. EDIroR,--Y Yesterday, while sit.
ting under the ministry Of one Of our
popular city pastors. was not little
surprised at the manner in which he
touched upon subject destined, ere
long. to agitate the American people no
little. II was the constitutional amend
ment, as proposed by the National Re-
form party. The Reverend watchman
on the walls Of Zion took occasion to
speak of those who would like to take
@ aud Christ out Of our constitution.
Now what astonishes me is that an in
telligent leaderof the epeople, with college
honors fresh upon him, does not know
that the trainers Of that instrument en-
deavored, with all their united wisdom.
to avoid involving God and Christ and
the Bible and everything pertaining to
religious matters in that document. for
the simple reason that they had deter
mined to establish one government un-
der which jew and GENTLE, Protestant,
Catholic and Intidel might dwell with
equal security in the worship Of the
Triune God, or the worship Of no God
at all, and none should dare molest or
make afraid. Now" said the Rever.
end gentleman, eve are Christian ma
ton whether they take God and Christ
out OF the Constitution or not. Yea, we
will be religious people. notwithstand-
ing ALL" Now ask, II this be true, why
does growing and already influential
party seek by Legislative enactments to
make US christian nation? And, fur
ther. do they thiuk TO be able to legis-
late the grace OF God into mems hearts.
Verify, ye must be born againl But,
later in his remarks, the Reverend gen.
tlemen in question took occasion to de-
plore the lamentable fact that there
were SO few truly Christian people
among US. To use his own words, 80
little patch here, and . little patch
there, with the vast majority going with
the world" In this, | presume, he is
correct. Admitting this to be the true
state Of the case, of which few will re-
quire preof, why, l ask in the name of
consistency, do they seek by Congress.
sionaI enactments TO brand us Christian
nation. II we are already SO, 1t certainly
is not necessary for Congress to make US
so. for "By their fruits We shall know
them" On the other hand, II we are
not Christian people, will it not be q
falsehood for legislative enactment to
call US 80. Furthermore, the National
Reform party are asking to place one
at the head,o the government who has
already said, in terms not to be mistak-

A few days since Mrs. valenzuela, Of

to die and grow cold. The evidence
was so unmistakabIe that the family was
plunged into the gloom that surrounds

rangemcnts were made for her burial and
coffin purchased, but after few hours
OF suspended animation the heart began
to beat. the eyes to open and the pulse
to throb. The ast,nishment and Joy Of
the household was beyond description.
The coffin was sent back to the under.
taker and the lady commenced to i'm.
ppsve and Is now convaloscent. Ths

before a burial is made, should be again
enforced by this case of the apparent
