impression here that there will be no
bloodshed at Friar's Point. Notwithstand-

the fuss, which they consider personal
grievances between Alcorn and Brown,
growing out of Ames's antagonism to Al

The Bloomington Qll) Panta-
graph has the following paragraph,
which will be read with interest by
"Jim's" numerous friends in this
vicinity:


Mr.. James X. Roush is building a
family mansion on East Front street,
that he intends shall be credit to
the town and q comfort to himself
and family. And thereby hangs a
tale. There is a general belief that
pleasures never come singly, and
thus it proved. Yesterday, while
Jim stood watching the progress of
the building and picturing to his
minds eye the beauty of the aforesaid
mansion in all its dimensions of
breadth and height word was
brought him that a distinguished
stranger hadarrivedldia1Sh d the ESsidence
and wished to see him. On being
presented by his wife, the stranger
said that he had come to make sp-
plication as a clerk and perhaps
junior partner in the new grocery
store. He said that he knew he
was young-an object that time
would remedy-but he was large
for his age-weight nine pounds
and as his wardrobe was rather scan
ty he would work for his board and
clothes until the new store was
ready to open. Whereupon the
overjoyed and happy father rushed
down town, and came back with the
cigars which he "set up" to the
builders, consisting of MIR. Smith W.
Wilson and his force of workmen,
some six or seven in all.

Last fall the Democrats shouldered
the Republican party with the dull
times. Give us the power and
every man shall be kept busy. They
have been in power for nearly year
in New York and Pennsylvania.
Times are as bad as ever in both
States. Democracy has not kept its
promise to the laboring man. 1t
could not restore prosperity, and it
knew it could not, when it made the
pledge. Dull times comes from
other causes than political ones.
Over-productien! over trading spec
ulationl are the fruitful causes.
Both parties are equally powerless
to prevent these. But with good
or bad times we need good govern
ment, and this can be secured only
through Republican rule.

The wonderful change which has
taken place in the popular mind in
the States since the last election ought
not to discourage the advocates of De-
mecracy. The overwhelming defeat
which has been sustained may prove
most fortunate occurrence, and IN
sure a victorious Presidential cam
paign. The Democratic leaders, In
toxicated with success, deemed they
could sport with the people and resort
to any make-shift to retain their pre-
eminence. This lesson will force to
the rear such political tricksters ana
demagogues as WILLIAM ALLEN, and
consign such thieves and scoundrels
US Tammany represents to the upper
most shelf. The men of ability and
probity will come to the front and
frame q platform embodying the
Democratic and Conservative Opin-
! ions of the people, and make the issue
one of true principles. The conceited
and empty-headed politicians will be
forced to recognize the fact that In
this enlightened country measures
and not men will control the popular
franchise. On the other hand this
victory places the Republican party
In n position which will lead
it to repeat the errors OF the
Democrats. Confident of success
| they will listen to no warnings, and
will go before the country with set
of candidates that the people will not
sustain. 1t unquestionably insures
| GRANTS nomination for third term.
The President and his adherents con-
troll the wires of the party, and the
recent victories will destroy all fears
that these leaders may have had on
the third term issue. In fact, the re-
Mobilization of the party will be inn
puted to the personal influence o!
GRANT, and he will be considered the
backbone OF Republicanism. Then
the money of the Administration will
overcome whatever scruples the old
"war horses may have. With
ULYSSES S. GRANT as n Presidential
candidate, the Democratic nominee, il
he be All able, honest and conservative
man, will be elected. The thinking
classes of the United States will not
endanger Republican institutions by
voting for GRANT or any one else fol
third term. Then the re-appearance
of such men as ZACH CHANDLER. and
BEN BUTLER as Republican leaders
will disgust the honest voters and
drive thousands over to the Democ-
racy, and these men will no longer
keep back seat. May we not reason
ably hope, then, that this defeat will
be the means of rejuvenating the
Democratic party and putting it in a
purer and stronger condition than it
has held for years, and therefore in
sure great victory in the next cam

to the water If it can be shown that its

The loss of the water to the homestead

Los Angeles, January 20, 1875.


In response to the above note, we
will say that we have not yet received
the long promised report on Cuca-
mongo land and water, and cannot to-
day give as full and explicit iniorma-
ton as we had hoped and desired. The
following facts and suggestions may
be useful to our correspondent and his
friends: The quality of some of the
soil of the Cucamongo grant is cor
rectly described in the pamphlet pub
lished by the company some time ago.
What proportion of the soil is as de-
scribed the pamphlet does not say nor
do we know. 1t is q good rule not to
purchase land until you have seen and
carefully examined every acre Of it,
Those who intend to purchase Cuca-
mongo property should rigidly
apply this rule. A certain proportion
of the land is loose gravelly forma-
ton, good for fruit trees, but will
require an immense amount Of water.
Now Of the main thing-water-with-
out an abundance of which Cucamongo
land, like great deal of other land, is
worth less than nothing. The old
Cucamongo vineyard is the heart of
the homestead, but is not part of it
and is not to be sold with it, though
we are informed it is owned by the
same parties whe are placing the land
in market. A considerable water rises
