TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-

in power through your invaluable paper, in whose
columns you have labored so hard to maintain the
honor OF our country9
We were told that as soon as Congress met the
circumstances OF the insult TO our nag by the
spaniards and the horrible butchery OF our men
should be laid before It, that 1t might take I'm
mediate action for the maintenance Of our national
honor and for the punishment OF those bloodthirsty
nends who are in power at Santiago de Cuba and
also to compel reparation, as far as money would
do it, to the surviving friends OF those SO unmerci
fully butchered.
Congress has met, and in vain have searched
through the Message for recomme ndation for an
immediate action In the Cuban affair. The Execu-
tive retains to himself the right to carry on the
negotiations with Spain which at the present time
Is utterly powerless to carry out any arrangement

Mr.. Beaugrand, who probably pershed with the
steamship Vile du Havre, was French painter OF
considerable talent He left Paris for this country
during the Commune, with his young and accom-
plished wife, and they took up their residence ct
New Rochelle. Mr.. Beaugrand's mother brought
them their daughter Eugcnie last summer, and re-
turned home after short visit. With that daugh-
ter and their baby boy, about six months old, MIR.
and Mrs. Beaugrand embarked on the ill-iated ves-
sci to pay visit to their friends and their country,
intending to return and settle down here. AS they
could speak but little English, they did not mako
many acquantances, but all who knew them be-
came sincerely attached to them, and deeply
mourn their loss
Miss Annie Nolan for many years was IN the SER
vice OF Rev. Father Cauvln, OF HobOken now

A way to Prevent Ocean Disasters to
Steamships.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-
1t 1s natural that after such disaster befel the
Vile du Havre the best means should be spoken Of
to prevent such calamties. I have followed such
events closely and have always found the want or
proper In the navigation OF lost vessels to be
at the bottom OF the evil.
Allow me to suggest that steamship companies
should besides their regular officers, employ cadets
or quartermasters, one to be regularly attached to
each offlcer OF the watch to divide with him tho
care Of navigation. have often observed how
Impossible 1t Is for one officer TO overlook largo
vessel, and the employment OF carefully trained
aspirants for of1cership would be q valuable addi-
tiOn for safety. Yours, GEORGE WALTERS,

Bishop CUMMING Secession and the
EpiscOpacy.

nAshOp cumming Secession and the
EpiscOpacy.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE HRRALD:-
IL seems to me that Bishop Cummins, in his
secession from the Protestant Episcopal Church
and attempt to found o new sect, with himself as
Its head, has been actuated more by restless am.
bition than from conscientious conviction of the
necessity for his act. Notwithstanding his decla.
ration OF adherence to episcopacy, mot as OF
divine right" but only as ia very ancient and de-
sirabe form Of Church polity II is evident that he
still holds to the idea that some measure OF virtue
or spiritual authority was communicated to him in
"the imposition OF hands" through which he was
ordained to the office or bishop. Else why did he,
vtytate 0Dlctf, assume the presidency over the
council convened by himself, proclaim,
cdtnedra the declaration OF principlesn OF
the Church called into being by himself
and again, pirtute oDici put the mitre and grasp

help thinking that ii Bishop Cummins were sincere
in his profession that he has made this movement
"only as . step toward the closer union OF all

far more consistent, and have taken much surer
step In that direction by seeking fellowship with

that condemns and rejects the erroneous and
strange doctrine that Christian ministers are

Cummins, believing In the parity OF orders In the
Church, repudiate episcopacy altogether And,
perhaps, "theres the rub" LAYMAN.

questions should not enter your councils for
discussion nor should anything foreign to the
great vital issues of anti-ring anti monopoly and
anti-corrupton and extravaganza be discussed.
These should be your only watch words in the
campaign, and when you have got over the river
you can then talk about swapping horses. No
man S past politics should be questioned if he is
honest and his past anti-monopoly record is good.
The fields are white and ready for the sickle;
the golden grain stands ready to be garnered,
and we earnestly ask you to cooperate with us
now in this Grand Reform Movement. For lit
seems to us as clear as a sunbeam, that if we
would be more than sldUes to the tyrant that
wields the scepter with more than kingly power
and haughtiness, we must as people unite and
act determinedly and earnestly upon the vital
questions foreshadowed in this address. Serfs
and slaves to the railroad power we may easily
become, but if we would be free, and enjoy
freemans rights, we mist buckle on the ,,chole
a1mor for this fight, and all the friends of Re-
form must go forth to battle together with Spar
tan zeal and courage, determined that if we fall,
we will fall with our faces toward the foe. Uni
ted we can win victory that will be priceless in
its benefits Divided, all our toll will be fruit
less, and our best endeavors will be stepped in
the wormwood and gall of total route and fail
ure sprinkled with the ashes of defeat. Let us
then unite, stand firm and make a gallant fight
for ourselves and those who are to come after US.
We, therefore, fix Saturday, the twenty-sixth
(26)day of July, for the election of delegates and
Monday following at o'clock P NJ, for the
holding of County Convention, to nominate
Legislative County and District candidates. The
Primary precinct polls will be kept open from
l to 0 clock p. NJ.
The following is the apportionment of dele
gates to each precinct.
The Placer herald., 1873-07-19

SEND FOR THE ADDRESS. THE test for
voters at the Independent primaries, which
take place in all the precincts in the county,
between the hours Of and s o'clock, p.
NJ, Saturday next, will be the endorse
ment and signing of the address. This be-
ing the case, we suggest to Independents
who intend 10 attend and take part in these
primaries, both Republicans and Democrats,
that they have an informal meeting now,
and send to this Office for copies of the ad-
dress, that it may be on hand ready to sign
in case of challenge of voters. We say
this at the request of the joint Independent
Committee, who have authorized us to send
the addresses when so applied for. Where
the addresses have been kept at the pre-
cincts, it will not be necessary to send for
them, OR the copy in the HERALD can be cut
out and used for this purpose.

"S'cAr"- Mephais Americana,
next door isi, a rage. The HERALD proved
in an article, two weeks ago, that the whole
Auburn Ring caboodle was the ally Of
the monopoly, and, in doing SO, had to state
that the chairman of their County Central
Committee was also the chief attorney of
the railroad company, and thus the fears and
venom of the cat were both initiated, and it
lashes itself into perfumed fury over Judge
Hale and Jos. Walkup. We'll, Judge
Hale and ou-self have both been here twenty
odd years, been candidates against each
other "2O years ago., (the man that don't
know both of us well, is hard to find in the
county, and all that time two as good per-
sonal and business friends as ever lived in
Auburn. We hardly know why the argus
should besmear the Judge all over with
filthy soft soap and lie on us, unless it is
found in the fact that the former is the
railroad attorney, and we are warm friend
of the people and ever the opponent of the
monopoly that is trying to crush them.
This is the second time Judge Hale has
been numerically doused all over with the
filthy soft soap slops of the argus, and as
true and warm friend of his, personally, we
protest against its further continuance. If
this filthy bedaubing is to continue while the
Judge is the attorney of the railroad, then,
as friend, we would advise him to resign
the position. The abuse of us may be
pleasing to Stanford and Page, and may
keep the Argus in their employ. So mote
it be. We must still fight the monopoly
and its tool here, the Auburn Court House
ring.

WE, the undersigned members of the Demo

come when, if we would be free and enjoy our
sacred rights and the fruits of our own toll,
under laws made by and for us, and executed
by our own chosen officials, we must organize
and work as one man, and demand and en-
force these rights by every lawful means Sc

the people of this county under ring and mo-

that can scarce find an equal in freegovernment.

pay on all you buy and on all you sell, and
these they demand with the arrogance of Euro

earnings tens of thousands of dollars annual
ly, and leave you as poor at the end of each
year as when you began it. 1t is the disease
that wastes the fruits of your toll, the
fever wastes your strength and flesh. You see
and feel the effects, but you can scarcely tell
where your earnings are gone. And while this
monster and its malarious adiuncts are putting
your substance in their pockets, they, owning
more than one-haf the value of all the property

DESTROYING THE EVIDENCE. News
reaches us that the Independent Address
and call for an anti-monopoly and anti-Au-
burn ring convention, are hard to find in
many sections of the county, and the pre-
sumption is plain that the Auburn ring and
monopoly railroad has agents out stealing
and destroying or concealing these circular
addresses. This unholy alliance would de-
scend to any meanness to suppress the
damnng facts of their crimes set forth in
the address. The address and call can be
found in the HERALD this week again in full !,
and we request our subscribers to loan their
papers to their neighbors to read. The ad-
tress and call in circular form will be fur
nished to parties sending for them, but no
known ring monopolist need apply.

word when there was a cent or the conceal

settled. When the "chick" will induce the
proper officers of the Argus Publishing Co.
to exhibit the original subscription list and
the changes made on the stock book since,
verified by oath, to a committee of three or
five, fairly named, we will then publish it,
and retract all the errors we have made in
regard to it. The list was presented to
gentleman of high standing in this county,
who looked it over and told US the names
and amount subscribed by the leading men,
and that H. F. Page was down for $3.50,
the highest amount of any one man. Now,
this is fair, and if the Arqus is not lying, it
will comply, and if it is lying it will refuse.
