PROSPECTUS
I'll
the Los ANGELES HERALD.

The first of October, THE Los ANGELES HER
AID, n daily and weekly newspaper, Will
make its appearance. The Daily will he a
neat and tastily printed scven-colnmn news
paper, newsy rather than literary in charac-
ter. The Weekly will be s!x-coumn, eight
page paper, ana will contain the most impor-
tant matter that hats previously appeared in
THE DAILY HERALD.
1t Is proposed that the HERALD shall be an
unbOught advocate of every Interest pertain
ing to southern California and Arizona, and
n Jealous worker in all things that shall tend
to benefit the state. In a word 1t will be in
close communion with the People. In its col
umns, from time to time will be found mat
ters of interest to the California Farmer, Me-
chanic, Merchant, LabOrer, and all classes of
Producers; and 1t will also contain reading
matter suited to the Home Circle.
The HERALD will be an Independent Demo-
cratic jonrnal and its efforts directed to sweep
ing from power and place those now misman-
aging the affairs of the Nation. Forthc accom-
plishment Ofthis end, ii will hail with satisfac-
ton the cooperation of the members of all Par
ties, believing that the prosperity, perhaps
safety, of the Nation depends upon the success
Ofa movement OftnlS character. III is" reform
now or revolution hereafter"
The II ERALD will advocate State Rights and
oppose Capitalization; itwili encourage White
and oppose Coolie Immigration. 1t Will favor
Free Trade, and oppose Protective Tariff 1t
will advocate q Greenback Currency for Cali
fornia, and oppose the esent dwarfing and
deadening policy which upholds the present
r-.nous rates of interest and shuts out Eastern
capital. 1t will advocate the People and OPP
pose MOnopOlics, no matter what guise they
may assume.
While the HERALD will treat Slavery as II
dead issue, 1t will earnestly advocate the
right of every State, be 1t Northern or South
ern-Massachusetts or South Curoina-tO gov
ern itself in accordance with the wishes OF its
people, and the dictates of the Federal Con-
stltution, without national interference.
The HERALD will Oppose thieving and pecu-
lation. No man rightly owns dollar until
he earns it. Every dollar which is taken
from the public treasury or private purse
without a just return Is robbery, and he who
takes this money is a thief Believing this,
the HERALD will oppose salary steals, custom
steals, land steals, railroad steals, and every
kind of steals.
Each day, the fullest Foreign and Domestic
kilograms will be published The aim will
be TO supply, in this part of the state, the de-
mand heretofore filled by the san Francisco
dailies. No trouble or expense will be spared
to make the HERALD, In this respect, equal TO
any newspaper on the Coast. 1t will also con-
tain q full Review of the Local and Foreign
Markets, and the Trades generally, honestly
and carefully compiled.

HOMEsTEAD.-Unde the statutes in
1864 . homestead could not be carved
out of land held in joint tenancy.
The homestead act of 1868 does not cure
this defect, but applies only to cases
where the person filing the declara-
tion Is in exclusive occupation of the
land. 1919.
Appeal from the Probate Court of
the city and county of San Francisco.
The petitioner presented a petition
representing herself as the widow of
Martin Cameto, deceased, stating that
In June, 1864, during the lifetime Of
her husband, she had filed deelara-
tion of homestead out of the real
estate Of her husband, and asking that
the property described in the petition
be set apart to her as homestead.
John Dupuy, executor of CametO, and
Charles Cameto, minor heir Of
Cameto contested the petition.
BY THE COURT 1884, CametO vs..
Dupuy-Filed October 3lst, 1871: The
declaration of homestead which was
filed by the petitioner in 1864 was not
valid, for the reason that the premises
were then held in joint tenancy.

That defect was not cured by the
homestead act of 1868 (stats. 1858, p.
ll8,) for that act provides only for the
acquisition of such right, in lands
held in joint tenancy or tenancy In
common, where the person filing the
declaration Is in the exclusive Occupa-
ton of the tract sought to be dedicat-
ed as a homestead. The court, there

STATUTE OF FRAUDs-CoNTRACT.-.
The assignment of contract, void un-
der the statute of frauds, does not con-
stitute good consideration for a
promise to pay.
Under our statute Of frauds the con-
tract was void, and its assignment to
the defendants furnished no cOnsidera-
for the promise declared on. (Sher-

WRIT OF PROHIBITION.-Aw writ of
prohibition will not issue to arrest the
proceedings of a Board of Supervisors,
unless the proceedings themselves are
absolutely without or in excess Of the
Jurisdiction of the Board. #.. e
The act of March 80, 1872, (Acts of
1912, p. 7QS) authorizes the Board of
Supervisors Of Kern county, in their
discretion, to purchase the road in said
county known as the Mcfarland Toll
road" ft
The purchase has been made by the
Board at the price of six thousand dol
lars. 1t is alleged i'm the petition for
writ of prohibition, that the road
was out of repair when the purchase
was made, and was of no value to its
owners, and would soon have been
Abandoned to the county if the pur-
chase hadnot been made, and that, If
its value had been estimated by disin-
terested persons, it would have appear
ed to be of no value whatever.
While it would appear in view of
these facts, if such they be, that the
purchase was injudicious in business
point of view, it must be remembered
that we are not authorized to interfere
or arrest the proceedings of the Board
by the writ of prohibition for any such
reason, nor unless the proceedings
themselves are absolutely without or
in excess of the jurisdiction of the
Board' (Sec. l, 1O2 Code Civ. Pro-;
and In view of the exceedingly broad
language Of the act of March 3Oth, al
ready referred to, no lack of mere jur-
isdiction is shown on the face Of the
petition.
The demurrer is sustained and the
writ dismissed.

One of the most remarkable
changes ever wrought in the pub
lie mind, says the daily Register,
q legal journal Of New York, is
that in regard to general John F.
Hartranft, Governor of Pennsyl-
vania. During tho campaign,
which resulted in his election only
last fall, he was represented to be
the worst man in the State, guilty
of speculation, conspiriaces, and 9
seeker for spoils, and as lacking
in ability. Now, it SENS that his
enemies and the press which sc
bitterly denounced him are not abl'
to find language strong enough
to express their admiration fol
him. Even John W. Forney, whC
reviled him beyond measure, il

The journals of Charleston, S.

mercial exhibit of the city for the
year ending August 81, and as the
ciyts can in a measure be taken to
indicate the industrial condition
of the state, their figures are in.

pared with the great results OF
1870, Charleston is the only port
that gains relatively in crop figures
At the outbreak of the war the
cotton receipts of the last year Of
peace were 100000 bales, but fol
the first year after the war they
were only $4,000 bales. Now
they foot up 365, 900, bales the re
