Empire or Repnblic.
The Great Western wlio indites tlie
Ilcfild lias gone lengthily and serially
Into tlie (luestion which heatis this ar
ticle. He lias lalHml through three
sevcnil efforts, occupying each its ap
propriate ( ? ) column, tol argue that
the course of the nation, liecaase sure
ly opposed to Democracy, is as surely
tending towards Imperialism.
Wc have waited in confidence to see
the matter answered and unanswera
bly disposed of, and the late elections
in the States of MiJiphu-ctt'. New
York, New Jersey, Illinois, Minneso
ta, Wisconsin and Maryland, bring as
answer the voice of the people, which
one of the most otablished maxims
of liberty pronounces to lie the voice
of God ; and we accept the omen tliat
through tlie voice of tlie jieople God
lias spoken, and the forebodings of the
Herald may as well lie considered
as at rest whieh should certainly sat
isfy even its very strictly religious na
ture. Massachusetts hits gone strongly lor
the Republican cause, which -HMBcntes
with clearness tliat her citizens are for
the Republic. New York lias over
whelmed the Im-ierial Democracy,
and hurled the Juggernaut Tammany
to earth, and so has giveh a de
served but most unex'x-cted endorse
ment of Republican principles. New
Jersey lias elected a Democratic Gov
ernor by disaffection in the ranks of
his opponents, but the law makers of
tliat State are Republicans in majority.
Illinois has given a handsome promise
of what greater things she will do in
ls"2. Minnesota and Wisconsin are
largely Republican. Even Maryland
lias elected a large nuinlier of Kepul
licans to, their Legislature, and shows
that the old Imjx-rial regime is wear
ing away.
These things have happened, and
yet the i')ir comes out a flcrwa.il i
with its iiiterrc-gatory Xo. :5, Empire
or Republic ? "
The iH'oplc of the lnitc d States arc
as plainly as possible indicating by
their delilK-rate action at the ballot
box that they have no confidence in
the pledges and promises of Democra
cy ; no fear of the threats made by its
leaders, and no respect for either the
warnings or predictions made by its
speakers or organs. The people respect
the jjower they themselves wield and
are determined to wield it aright and
fiir their own interest. Tammany
may rule for a day, or a year, but the
jK-ople have weighed it in the balance
of public opinion and found it want
ing in all good qualities, and have con
demned and overthrown ifr. So they
will do with their mo-t cherished per
sonal idols and popular favorites, if
they find that they liave obtained their
confidence only to betray it. When
ever .the people believe the stories
the Herald publishes about General
Grant and his administration, they
will as assuredly condemn and defeat
it as they have condemned and defeat
ed the principles of Democracy for ten
years past.
""AiiiTftotliat the elections are over,
and the people! with God-like power
have spoken and lieen heard, what is
the Herald going to do aliout it ? We
are informed tliat none are so blind as
they who will not see, and none are so
deaf as they who won't hear, and of
course some people have to live to
maintain the value -of these old prov
erbs, which we suppose the Herald is
condemned to do.
If the people believed the charges
continually mailt! against Grant and
the Republican party, they would re
ply by denouncing and defeating them.
Tliat these cliarges are not Itelievcd is
proven by elections held this fall in
many of the States, from Maine to
California, and while tliey liave sus
tained the administration, they have
decidedly and repeatedly given the lie
to tlie assertions of I emocracy. How
long will it lie before that party can
learn the moral from the lesson and
accumulate self respect enough to tell
the truth.
Fish Culture.
We who were raided in regions
where shad abounded, on the Atlantic
coast, or who lived on western waters
and were used to feeding on the deli
cious white fish of those regions, have
a natural interest in connection with
some very .-mvc.'-fjil 'exie:ihiiiits
m ule, of late years in relation to fish
culture.
Fish are an important article of
food, especially ,n attained at a less
cost than ordinary meats. The gradual
diminution of the supply of shad in
the Connecticutt river has caused seri
ous alarm, and led to attempts at tish .
culture which liave realized entire suc
cess. Fifty millions of eggs were se
cured and carefully bred lip the
treams where that fish liad formerly
abounded, and the consequence lias
been an abundant supply on the very
year when these young, fish could
grow to a profitable size. The experi
ment resulted so well tliat California,
has repeated it, ami those who under
stand tlie mnhts operandi liave brought
tlie young fish to the upper waters of
tlie Sacramento river to introduce the
sliad to western waters, where tliey
are entirely uuknown,
Oregon is greatly favored in tlie
abundance of our salmon, which are of
the most excellent quality. But we
can add to the value of our lisberie3
by introducing to our rivers also tlie
sliad, a fish tliat is in many respects
even to the salmon. We shall soon
liave an opportunity to realize if these
lish do well in tlie Sacramento, and if
successful, then we can safely intro
duce them into the Columbia.
Fish culture does not seem to be a
new ait, for it was practiced, tliough
we cannot readily say to wliat extent,
by the ancients.
A curious bit of news conies from
"Fatherland." Duelling it is known
is positively forbidden in the Prussian
army. Two officers quartered in one
of tlie Rhenish villages kid a slight al
tercation in a beer saloon, over some
dubious philosphlcal points in Keet's
doctrine, probably, and it was mutual
ly agreed upon that blood alone was
the only means of satisfying both par
ties. Not wishing to disobey the mil
itary law eoncernmg duels, they called
for a set of dice, and it was arranged
tliat the loser of two games out of
three should blow hi3 brains out be
fore morning an idea taken from Du
mas' comedy, "Mademoiselle de Belle
Isle." The loser, who was a man of
"honor, committed suicide on tlie spot.
Oidy the next day his adversary
boasted of Ills own bravery and valor
to every cne who woidd listen.
Affairs in Mormondom.
Wc arc under obligations to Mr.
May M ho forwards us from Salt Lake
City occasional copies of tlie daily pa
pers publislied tliere, which treat fully
but differently of the progress of af
fairs. Tlie Herald U the Church Organ and
speaking of the arrest of Mayor Wells
it says :
Another link in the chain of con
spiracy aimed at the very existent of
the Mormon people was revcalgd yes
terday afternoon, in the arrest of
Mayor Wells, lor the alleged crime of
murder, llosen Stout, Esq., was also
arrested at the saitm time, on the same
cliarge; and Col. Wm. II. Kimball on
a similnr charge..- Tlie . indictment
cliarges Daniel II. Wells and llosea
Stout, among others, with havinp on
the loth of NoverrnVr, 1857, killed one
Richard Yates at tltc mouth of Echo
canon, in Summit county. There is
little doubt tliat YateS was killed, and
it is generally conceded that the no
torious 1U11 Hickman committed the
crime, for which, liowever, there is
little prospect of his suffering punish
ment under existing circumstances, as
it Is believed that upon his testimony
the indictment was fimud. '
No Intelligent man hi Utah to-day.
at all acquainted with the facts or the
men, believes for a moment that cither
Daniel II. Wells llosea- Stout had any
thing to do with the killing of Yates,
nor do we believe that such a jury can
be packed even as will find either of
them guilty. But the infamous pro-'
cecdings adopted to carry out effective
ly the crusade against "the Mormons
litis another exemplification hi these
arrests, tlie determination of the public
prosecutor to have, if not convictions,
at least public odium east upon the
leading men of the continuity being
apparent at every step taken. Mayor
Wells was aware that the arrest would
lie made before it wa, and met the
Marshal with that understanding.
Knowing himself innocent, he was de
termined to meet any such charge that
might lie brought against him.
The Kect' tr is a Gentile journal, and
goes after the suffering Saints rather
savagely, and we quote as follows :
The sentence in the case of The Peo
ple rs. Hawkins, was pronounced at
noon to-day, by Chief Justice McKeau,
and will be found in our report of the
court proceeding-. It is that the pris
oner lie fined !i.(0 and tliat he be im
prisoned at hard lalior for the term of
three years. That the punishment in
flicted is extremely lenient, the im
prisonment being the minimum fixed
by the statute, will at once strike ev
ery impartial observer who listened to
the Testimony and watched the pro
ceedings in tlie cause. The sentence
throughout manifests a spirit, which,
of itself, pives the lie to the absurd
charges of vindictiveness and animosi
ty which the Mormon press have so
IH-rsistently JieajX'd uix;i the Chief
Justice. The spirit displayed by the
Court is that which should animate ev
ery judge in the discliarge of h'u du
ties a spirit of justice tempered with
mercy. " I inu-t look to it," says the
Chief Justice, "that my judgment lie
not so severe as to seem vindictive,
and not so light :i to seem to trifle
with justice."' The Court also inti
mates that whenever the prisoner's
good iM'haviour and the public good
shaM warrant it. he will cheerfully
join in recommending his juudon.
Hawkins was convicted of adultery
on the evidence of Harriet Hawkins,
his first wife, who-e evidence is con
tained in the following plain statement
of facts, which unveils the hideous de
formity of Monnoiiisin :
Question Well, did he give you
any reason why be had to live with
some jierson else ?
Answer Well, no reasons, only he
allowed that he had got to live "with
some one else.
Question Did he say anything?
Answer Yes, I had had my" day,
ami he had got to have some one else.
Question How manv children had
you borne Inm at that tune?
Answer I had borne him seven.
Question Seven children at that
time?
Answer Seven live children.
Question Ho said von had had votir
day. and he would have to live with
some lH'rson else y
Answer Yes, sir.
Question What did you say, did
you eonsent to that ?
Answer No. sir, 1 did not.'"
, I
Is Boss Tweed to Succeed '
It is rather mortifying to the pride
of an American citizen who glori.H in
the success of Republican institutions,
to 1 told, as we are by the telegraph,
tliat Boss Tweed, the notorious scoun
drel who has robbed the New York
City treasury of tens of millions of dol
lars, is sure to be elected State Senator
from tiiat city. His constituents are
descrilied as of a class who cannot lie
driven from his .support, even if he
were a convicted felon. His money is
what they vote for, and he purchases
their support against all charges, and
even against proven frauds.
As Tweed is sure to be elected it re
mains to ! seen if he can purchase his
way to be admitted to the Senate, and
if he can purchase the votes of Senators
and representatives of all parties as he
has done before, to consummate rascal
ity as fist as he can plan it.
Wc lielieve that honest men of both
parties will bar the Senate doors to
him and prevent the consummation of
such legislation as litis of late years
disgraced and almost mined the State
and Citv of New York.
Will the Mormons Remove 1
The last we hear of Brigham Young
he was traveling South, and the tele
graph brings a rumor that he is never
to come back to the regions of Salt
Lake. It seems likely tliat tlie Mor
mon Prophet has gone prospecting for
fresh fields, and pastures new, where
the faith of the Latter Dav Saints can
not be shaken by Gentile interference,
nor tlie favorite institution of polygamy
be interrupted by federal laws. Wliere
he can plant the Mormon faith, to rest
undisturbed, is a question not easy to
answer. It wouiu seem at ursc giancc
tliat the neighboring Republic of Mex
ico might answer tlie purpose, and
tliat by arrangement with tlie govern
ment of "that country the Mormon
rrophet may yet lead his tieople on
another exodus, to plant in some other
wilderness a colony which sliall be the
future scat of Mormon Empire.
The performance of a child actor,
just arrived at tlie Holiday Street
Theatre, Baltimore, is thus spoken of:
" Terey Rosclle is a most extraordi
nary young actor. As Shylock, lie
shows a cultured appreciation of that
great, character, and a force of repre
senting it that would do credit to the
most matured and experienced Sliaks
pcarean. Frequent bursts of applause
from tlie audience last night as he fin
ished tlie declamation of any portion
of the lines testified to a hearty appre
ciation of this little gentleman's
genius. In make-up and stage action
he faithfully carries out all the details
of the part. The first sensation of
curiosity and amusement which is felt
is when he first comes upon the stage
is lost in genuine admiration for hLs
powers." Well, where is Bergh ?

The arrest of "Wrestling
Joe," the reputed father of all the
Caruthers on the charge of perjury,
created a profound sensation yester
day among those more p;irticularly
interested in the Caruthers. "Joe"
was arrested under the name of James
W. David -on, the prosecution claiming
tliat that is his proper name, and not
Thomas, as he claims. The complaint
ill the case is I). R. Hannah, who al
leges as follows :
"Said James W. Davidson dcrson
ating, pretending and calling himself
by the name of "Joseph Thomas,' or
-Wrestling Jw') to the city of Port
land did commit the crime of perjury,
in that on the 13th day of September,
ls71, being under oath, and under his
examination as a witness in" a suit
then pending in the Circuit Court for
the c6unty of Multnomah, wherein C.
M. Carter et al are plaintiffs, and Geo.
A. Pease et til are defendants, and la:
fore J. C. Moreland a Notary Public,
being an officer duly authorized and
eni)owered to administer oaths in the
suit aforesaid, he, the said J. C. Morc--land,
did administer the oath afore
said, he, the said J. C. Moreland, did
administer the oath aforesaid to James
W. Davidson did willfully testify false
ly, in this tliat he did swear as follows
to an interrogatory then and there pro
pounded to htm, to wit : "Repeat
your own name in full," in tliat he did
answer, "Joseph Thomas." The an
swer and matter so sworn to by him
licing material to the issue of fact then
joined, and the testimony so given by
law, and lieing rendered under an oath
authorized by law, and lieing willfully
and corruptly false." Ulon this com
plaint a warrant was issued anil David
son or Thomas, as the case may lie,
was taken In-fore Judge iJenuy. The
prisoner was arraigned, and pleaded
"not guilty" to the charge. The mat
ter was then continued until this morn
ing tit ten o'clock. The accused was
released on "1,000 bonds, R. J. Ladd
and A. P. Dennison qualifying as sure
ties. The examination, it is expected,
will occupy the attention of tlie Court
for several days. A host of witnesses
have lieen summoned on either side,
and the affair promises to furnish a
vast amount of sensational matter.
Harry Keithly, one of the men ar

Mr. Ha tick of one thousand dollars,
some weeks ago, is very ill. and it is
doubt fu! whether he will recover, as
the disease from which he is suffering
appears to have battled the skill of his
medical attendants.
At last some progress is being made

he entered the house and took there

ing nothing but a blanket and bed
spread. Tlie woman, upon returning
home and finding the bouse stripped
of everything, made instant search for
lier husband, but up to this time witli
out success. The furniture, we under
stmdj has been traced to a second band
store, where the fleeing husband sold
it for a trifle. The family Is in a des
titute condition.

" Wrestling Joe" Trie (or Fer.
Jury . , i
We learn from tlie Pwrtland dailies
of 9th lust, tliat the arrest ofiWrest
ling Joe" and Groan C. DavkUoa 'fa
perjury Is the great sensation.. In this
connection the Herald has the follow
ing summary of tlie case, which our
readers know Invades tlie title to val
uable land, part of which is in the city
of Portland:
"The plaintiffs in the suit against
Joe Thomas or James W. Davidson,
as the name may be, liave six witnesses
to prove that the latter is the name of
the defendant. It is stated that "Joe"
had some pictures taken a year ago at
St. Louis, and that one thousand
c.ipies have been stnick from the neg
ative for the use of the plaintiffs in the
present trial for perjury. Another
circumstance about the lawsuit to come
oil" at the next term of the Circuit
Court with which the public may be
unacquainted, is tliat "Joe" is not yet
in ,"osse.ss'oii of the property wluch
he claims as his it 'being in the
hands of D. B. Hannah, C. M. Carter,
Alex. B. Caruthers Bernard Gold
smith and W. Lair Hill, they liaving
purchased the estate from the collateral
iK-irs of Fiuice Caruthers, or Thomas.
This suit is to procure it for the plain
tiff, who is said to be the father of
Finice, an allegation which the defen
dants deny and the other say they can
prove. It will be, undoubtedly, one
of the most romantic and interesting
lawsuits that lias ever been held in this
country far more romantic titan any
to be found In the works of novelists.
It is the principal topic of convcrsfition
in the city, and is enhanced in interest
by the trial of "Joe" and (ireen C.
Davidson on the charge of perjury. It
will be the sensation for the next year,
at least."
The examination of witnesses com
menced on Wednesday, six having
lieen brought hither from the East to
identify the man. The whole forms a
first-class sensation and the first wit
ness, so far as examined, claims to
have known Thomas, under the name
of iMvidson, in Randolph county, Ill
inois. There is certainly a screw loo-e
somewhere, on one side" or the other.

From the Walla Walla ', of
Oct. '2sth, we learn the following :
The Whitman Seminary will open
on next Monday, under the general
supervision of the Rev. P. B. Cliam
borlain, with M. T. Crawford as first
assistant. Mr. Cliamlierlaiit is well
known by all. Mr. Crawford is a
graduate of the AViilauiette University,
and has lieen for the last year Princi
pal in the Alliany Institute. He conies
highly recommended. Under this
management we liave no doubt the
school will be a good one.
un last l lmrsday, tiny b nut. a son

He was riding and his horse jnnped

from the Monmouth Messenger we
learn the following :
The brick work of the new- college
edifice is now complete. It is a stitely
building of fine proportions. If the
weather continues favorable it will be

work on the inside can then go on.even

Tlie Jacksonville Sentinel of Nov.
4th says:
We learn from Mr. Taylor, the con
tractor for carrying the mails from
Jacksonville to Sailor Diggings, that a
man by the name of Hawkins has dis
covered new digging on Rogue river,
below the mouth of Applegate. Mr.
Hawkins has been making from $20 to
$40 per day with a rocker, and has
sold his claim for f 2.000. Tlie ground
is being rapidly located above and tie
low him, and tliere is a big gold ex

Tlie surveyUig party under Mr.
Hood, of the California company.' are
at present engaged in running a line
from the summit of the divide lietween
the waters of Emigrant and Keenc
creeks to the mouth of Jenny creek,
near Ward's ranch, on the Klamatb.
They find an easy grade, and it is said
tlie pass is the lowest yet examined.
It appears that the California company
is determined to push across the line
and secure the very valuable timber
laud lying in tlie mountains.
Messrs. Howard & Turner and
their party, who liave been surveying
east of the mountains, returned this
week. They surveved In Lancel's,
Barnes', Swan Lake, and Alkali Val
leys, six townsmos. or nearly lio,uuu
acres Some of this was swamp or
overflowed land, and all of It first-rate
grazing land. Many of the settlers
are films homestead claims in advance
of the returns to protect themselves

Bad CnossiKG. A year or two ago
a ditch was dug across Ferry street in
the rear of the premises of S '. II.
Moore, for the pin-pose of carrying of
tlie water down upon the fiat. 1 his
ditch has been left uncovered, save in
tlie middle of the 'street wliere it is
bridged with a plank or two which no
longer serves the purpose of a bridge.
The fact is, this matter causes the hack
drivers to nwcar a little, yes, consider
able, and If the bridge is not repaired
they will probably continue tlieir
swearing wluch amounts to something
more than "goll durn it." This should
receive the attention of the Street Com
missioner immediately.
Decidedly Lucky. On Monday of
this week Mr. Lafayette Williams and
his brother Emmett, went up tlie river
five or six miles to a bar wliere the wild
geese are wont to collect from the
fields in tlie adjoining country. They
didit't get any geese, though tiiey went
for tliem, but fhev did get a deer, a
fine buck, which tliey brought to town
and delivered over to Collins who
sold it at fifteen cents per pouud. Em
mett was the captor. He is a good
shot, and generally gets meat when
he "rocs after it.
Work Rescxikd. "Make hay

brick on the M. E. Curch just about a

are nearly completed. Work on the
Agricultural Building is also being
pudied forward vigorously.
New Penitentiary. We leant
tliat the work on the new Penitentiarj

Ukk Weed Cuke. We call atten
tion to the special notice of the link
Week Rheumatic Cure to be foiuid hi
our columns this morning and we feel
tliat it Is due tlie public as well as Dr.
Loryea, to state some Diets In proof of
tlie curative properties of tlie Uuk
Weed. Mrs. Loryea was so troubled
with inflamatory rlieumatism that
physicians ordered a change of climate
to preserve lier life. Preparatory to
leaving slie was conveyed to Beaver
ton, Washington county, to visit a
sister residing there, and some of her
friends prci4red a decoction of the
Unk Weed which grows abundantly
near there, and which liad been
landed down from tlie Indians as
a remarkable aire for rlieumatism.
This treatment effected a speedy cure
and Dr. Loryea commenced raising
unk weed on his fann at Bcaverton
ami employed Dr. Wat ch to make a
scientific analysis and extract the ac
tive principle existing In the plant.
This was done and tlie manufacture of
the Unk Weed Rheumatic Cure is bas
ed ujon it. Witliout liaving given
any publicity to tlie medicine at tlie
East Dr. Ixiryea & Co. are receiving
continual applications for it from jier
sous there, ami lie is soon going East
to introduce the remedy there and pro
vide for its increased manufacture.
He is confident tliat it will prove one
of the most successful remedies of tlie
day.
Full Schools. Our public sclioola
at present are unusually prosperous in
point of numliers, which most certainly
redounds to tlie credit of our city.
There is such a thing, however, as
crowding too many pupils In one room.
This State of affairs exists now in South
Salem. Prior to the adoption of tlie
free school system, this building was
always adequate to seat comfortably
all that applied for admittance. This
Is no longer the case, as every seat is
occupied' and new pupils are entering
weekly. In view of tlie fact tluit
South Stiiem is increasing in popula
tion almost weekly, and from the more
important consideration that tlie pres
ent system of schools Is to lie per'iet
uated. we think by all means this
school room should be enlarged, citlier
by adding to it or by building a new
one.
Died. In Corvallls Xov. 6th, 1871,
Sarah Catherine, wife of B, F. Joslin,
of South Salem, aged 29 years. About
two week ajo Mrs. Joslin, with lier
family, went to Corvallls for the pur
jxi.se of visiting a sister. Her health
was good until Saturday lat, wlien
slie was suddenly taken with a fever.
On Monday morning Mr. Joslin re
ceived a te"lerrani to the effect tliat bis
wife was very ill and was not expected
to survive but a few days at the farth
est, lie proceeded immediately to tlie
depot, and while waiting Tor tlie tram,
lie received anotlier telegram announc-
H12: Imt draf.i. Mrs. Jo-dm was a lady
uinvorsally esteemed by all who knew
lier. he was a' true christian, a kind
mother and a lov'mir comnanion. She
leaves five small children anil a bns-
IwumI to mourn their loss. Mr. Joslin
liai tlie sympathy of many friends to
assist him in bearinz ini under so se
vere a stroke.
Dull. Vert Dull. Yesterday our
city was very quiet, consequently
there was but little news afloat. A co-
temporary writes tlie following rhyme,
whieii Ls crude enough, but conveys
the idea quite clearly: "The editor
sat in his office one "day, and thought
to himself in a furious way ; lie thr$w
down his ex s and nibbled his pen. and
appeared quite as mad as a very wet
hen. So be Invented a machine tliat
turns with a crank It always settles
his bills at tlie bauk. It wrote music
as sweet as tlie open air vocals but it
did not it would it could not write

J i From Friday' Daily.
j Call Aqaul Yesterday our good,
looking local stampeded and went oa
tour Into the country , leaving as to
fUL as nearly as possible, the coaa pli
cated position of editor of all work and
general business manager. This
pro-fed more of a task than we expect
ed book the fact that the day before
our young friend bad announced that,
some region hereabouts, wanted to em
ploy a school ma'am. We had no
kfea how marry ladles there were who
could be aggravated into teaching the
young Idea bow and who to snoot,
until yesterday, and all we have to say
Is that Jolm will be at home this morn
ing and we respectfully sugge that if
there are any ladies In our city between
the ages of fifteen and seventy-five,
who did'iit call yesterday, tliey had
best call and aee bun to-day. We do not
happen to have the least knowledge of
tliat school as the educational depart
ment Is successfully engineered by the
local editor.
Good Showiko for Klamath.
Mr. D. II. Murphy, who has been em
ployed for some months past surveying
swamp and overflowed lands in the vi
cinity of Klamath Imkm, toaietwwied,
and lias exhibited to us samples of the
products of that region, raised by Mr.
George Nurse, at tlie bridge on Link
river, which is the key posttion of tliat
country. Tlie articles consist of a
mammoth turnip of the summers
growth ; a potato tliat will rank as
first-class for size and quality any
where ; an ear of corn which is fully
ripe, from seed planted in July, and a
specimen apple that fairly rivals tlie
ftult of tlie Willamette Valley. These
articles make a first-rate showing for
Klamatli, and our friend Nurse lias
reason to be proud of his success bi
producing them. Tliey are objects of
much Interest here.
Somewhat Petite. We hear of a
wee little stranger whose advent into
tills world, within a few days past, has
caused some Interest among tlie
motliers of (Mir city. This babe is said
to be so small tliat at five days old. a
lady's finger ring will pass over Its
arm and elbow to tlie shoulder.
Whether its dimensions are proportion
ately Lilliputian, we do not know, but
If tliey are, we may expect the blessed
little creature will in time develop into
a genuine cherub, only needing the
sprouting wbigs to fly back among the
angels.
Died. In this city, Thursday, Nov.
9th, after a short but painful illness
Daniel Strang,, aged 68 years.
Illinois and Iowa papers please copy.
The funeral will take place from his -late

Mr. Strang was an old and much re-'
spected citizen of this place, liaving
resided liert for nineteen years, His
illness was attended with much suffer
ing, and death was a blessed relief.
Personal. Hon. Jesse Applegate
came down from above yesterday, hav
ing some business with tlie State IjuhI
Office. We understand from Mr.
Applegate tliat he contemplates tak
ing a journey to San Francisco. He
lias been making some surveys of
swamp lands in tlie northern part of
the state ot California, ana may pos
sibly continue to make surveys in tliat
vicinity. So bis journey will probably
relate to that business.
Eajw Committees. We under
stand that the Ladies of our city con
template organizing relief committees
in each ward for the purpose of ascer
taininz where relief Is necessary for
destitute families and affording it
wliere possible. ; Some such system as
this is advisable, for as our population
Increases the cases of this kind must
also increase and means should be
adopted to prevent suffering in our
midst which reasonable pUuaiitUrophy
can prevent or alleviate.

tlie affray among tlie Chinese, tlie in

the police force by tbe Chinamen ami
tlie 13-nchlng of Chinamen which fol
lowed. An editorial, on tlie subject,
is worded as follows
All the dark scenes of early days
in Los Angeles were entirely eclipsed
by tlie horrible lynching affair of Last

whom must liave been Innocent ami

that he did more to restore the public

General Grant's Presents. Mr.
Tilden alludes to President Grant as
one who hat been enriched by costly
Dresents while exercisimrnie immense

unqualified assertion, made as if upon
absolute knowledge, and yet, speaking
upon all the Information I have, I be
lieve it entirely unfounded. The alle
gation is that since his election to the
Presidency, General Grant has been
the recipient of costly gifts: Return

he did receive gifts showered upon him
by a grateful people, but he received
them as the hero of manv battles and
