Parties from Los Angeles were in town yesterday trying to make bets upon the election of Mitchell for Sheriff. Several of their bets were taken and it is our private opinion that the fewer they make in that direction the more money they will have after the election. That John O. Wheeler is to be the next County Clerk is a fact which no sensible man pretends to dispute, notwithstanding the blatherskite attacks which have been made on that very estimable gentleman, whose cause has been more benefited than injured by the hired oratory of his opponents. A general meeting of the Anaheim Water Company was held yesterday morning, at which a committee, consisting of Reiser, Rimpau and Scott were elected to confer with the Yorbas and effect an arrangement by which the water from the Yorba ditch can be taken into the Anaheim ditch. At a meeting last night the committee reported the terms upon which the agreement with Yorba could be made. It was the opinion the agreement could not be entered into, and consequently the report was laid upon the table. Messrs. Langenberger and Pierce were appointed to go to Los Angeles to make arrangements for the vigorous prosecution of the suit.

Our Spanish school is attracting a great deal of attention just now.

He has twenty acres of hope,and the field this year is very large.The picking will occupy fifteen or eighteen days.

Notice has been received by the members of the Republican Central Committee at Anaheim that Hon.J.G.Eastman and A.Brunson will address the meeting here on Friday evening. The time is fast coming,says the Los Angeles Express,when no man will feel that he is doing himself proud by the assurance that he has never scratched a party ticket.The people ought to scratch like cats any and every ticket which contains objectionable candidates.The voter who always swallows his straight,must gulp down many a bitter draught.Machine politics is out of date.

Mr. E. S. Rothchild, of Los Angeles, came down on the train last evening. Mr. Rothchild is a member of the firm of Lehman & Co., importers and dealers in carpets. It is needless to say that the firm of Lehman & Co. do the largest business in Los Angeles, as their reputation is too well known in this section by their advertisement in the Gazette. Any of our readers needing carpets, wall paper, curtains or upholstery goods will do well to patronize them. [FROM SUNDAY'S DAILY.] Mr. W. D. Morton of Santa Ana has resigned his position on the Democratic Central Committee. A large number of persons evidently bound for the sea-side, passed through town yesterday afternoon.

The Democratic candidates returned from Orange yesterday morning and hastened to Los Angeles to attend the meeting there. Mr. S. A. Sheffield is determined to have an artesian well on the Richter place. The workmen struck a boulder two days ago which has somewhat retarded their progress. The time is fast coming, says the Los Angeles Express, when no man will feel that he is doing himself proud by the assurance that he has never scratched a party ticket. The people ought to scratch like cats any and every ticket which contains objectionable candidates. The voter who always swallows his straight must gulp down many a bitter draught. Machine politics is out of date. The Democratic meeting in Los Angeles on Saturday night was addressed by Theo Lynill. The Star says of his speech: "He confined himself exclusively to a comparison of the two tickets, and while some of his statements regarding certain Republican candidates were rather severe and had probably better not have been made, yet there was a vein of humor running through the entire speech which appeared to be relished by the crowd."

The public say that the effects of the great strike are even more clearly seen in the bank transactions of the week past. Cities which escaped the immediate effects now feel the consequences through their trade, and especially through their dealings with cities the most disorderly; while at Philadelphia, St. Louis, Chicago, Louisville and Pittsburgh the depression of business is very great.

The Tribune's Washington special says the latest reports from the Rio Grande border are to the effect that the U. S. troops are used very vigorously to prevent the hostilities. He denied having attempted to blackmail Page, through Pinney's letters, but said that he told Page that he had them, and that La Grange had said that if the letters had been written by him (La Grange) he would give a thousand dollars to suppress them. He demanded no money either of Page or La Grange in connection with the letter. Incendiarism. Santa Cruz, August 11. Last night at 10:30 an attempt was made to burn J. D. Allen & Co.'s large lumber yard and stables. The mill has had 150 feet of hose attached to the fire pling for fire purposes, and when it was attempted to be used it was found to be cut in eight or nine places. The fire was very speedily extinguished, however, with little damage. A Desperate Battle with Indians Helena, Montana, August 11. The following was received this morning: "Big Hole Mountain, August 9th. To Gov, Potts:—Sir—We had a fight with the Nez Perces Indians, killing a number and losing a number of officers and men. We are near the mouth of the Big Hole Pass, with a large number of wounded, in want of everything—food, clothing, medicines and medical attendance. Send us assistance at once." "Joan Gibbons, Colonel C. S. A." To Governor Potts: We had a hard fight and took a village, but were finally driven back with heavy loss. Capt. Logan and Lieut. Bradley are killed. Gen. Gibbon and Lieuts. Coolidge, English and Woodruff are wounded—English seriously and the others slightly. The troops were intrenched and the Indians were leaving when the messenger left. An Ocean Horror. New York, August 11. A dispatch from Panama dated August 2d, says the Pacific Steam Navigation Company's steamer 10, Captain Coottinpe, was lost on the 13th of July at Los Vilos, 70 miles north of Valparaiso. There must have been considerable loss of life, as fourteen bodies have been discovered. Forty-three of the crew and passengers had reached shore and twenty were still on the rocks. All efforts were being made to rescue them. The English steamer Amelagus and the Chilian gunboat Cherubucos proceeded immediately to the assistance of the unfortunates. A War of Extermination. Constantinope Aug. 13. A Constantineople correspondent telegraphs that a war of extermination is being carried on at Eski Saghra. All Christians among the native population have been sentenced to die by the Generals in charge. This news has been brought by two American missionaries, protected by Turkish friends. Every male Christian is accused of being either a spy or an open enemy. Karabuner is crowded with fugitives. There is only one well in the place, and there are 6,000 troops there besides the wounded and sick fugitives. Many are perishing from thirst. An Irishman applying for a licence to sell whiskey was asked by the Judge if he had a good moral character. "Faith your honner, I don't see the necessity of a good moral character to sell whiskey."

No further intelligence has been received from Gibbon. The Indian trail through Bitter Root Valley is good for about 60 miles. Gen. Howard's command moves at once, following Gibbon. One or two hostiles gave themselves up at Missoula. A general impression prevails, from all which can be learned, that Joseph, with a portion of his band of hostiles, has gone to the head of Bitter Root Valley, with the intention of working his way back to Little Salmon River. Gen. Howard will pursue him to the uttermost. A Reminiscence. Boston, Aug. 10. At the Free Soil Convention yesterday, Charles Francis Adams read a confidential letter to him from Martin Van Buren, now made public for the first time. It was dated July 24th, 1848, and Mr. Adams said it substantially ratified and confirmed his former declaration and policy which practically cost him the Democratic nomination that went to Gen. Cass. A Mistake Rectified. New York, Aug. 10. A special from Paris says that the charge preferred against W. Bogard, a Frenchman by birth but a naturalized American citizen, for having spoken disrespectfully of Mac Mahon, a few days ago at St. Die, a town in the department of Vosges, he proved to be founded on misapprehension. The report circulated to the effect that the American Legation in Paris was obliged to interfere in Bogard's behalf, turns out untrue. He was honorably acquitted as soon as the mistake was ascertained. A New Report on the Chinese Question. San Francisco, August 11.

In the afternoon Campbell opened for the defense, reviewing the alleged corrupt acts of plaintiffs in connection with political affairs.
