NEW YORK.

New YORK, Oct. 23.-The Times
says the question of generally MAX
ing currency payments in greenbacks
and National Bank notes, is about to
solve itself Most of the banks are
paying on all demands when preferred
to certification of checks; and the diff
ference against other banks, that from
their position decline to pay out large
sums of currency, is only one eighth
to one quarter per cent. exchange for
greenbacks or National Bank Notes!
Some first class banks are not only
helping their neighbors to greenbacks,
and sending currency to their country
correspondents, but they are paying
their debts or balances at the Clearing
House in greenbacks in place of relief
certificates.

WHEN will ship and rail be brought
together in San Pedro bay, and all the
delay in transfer avoided? The steam
er is delayed at the port one entire
day simply because the railroad COM
pany will not, or are not offered in
ducements enough, to run their track
either on the breakwater or along the
shore to San Pedro. This would not
injure Wilmington; OH the contrary,
it would be benefited in the end-fOr
the harbor must be dredged in any
case, and, if the railroad runs clean
along, the wharfage would be the
finest in the world, and the chance
that Wilmington would be CONNER
cial port Of great Importance, would
be increased. The greatest injury to
Los Angeles is experienced in the fact
that passengers meet with so much
difficulty in getting here. Santa Bar
bara and San Diego can be seen from
the vessels, and show all they are at
first sight; while Los Angeles, doing
six times as much business as either
Of them, makes only about one-sixth
Of the show. A three-mile railroad
ought not to be beyond the means of q
city whose citizens possess as much
wealth as those of Los Angeles.

The Railroad Question.

All over the land the cry is anti
monopoly. In Chicago, the Nation
al Board of Trade has just met and
adopted resolutions to the effect that
Congress should prevent unjust dis
elimination by any State upon inter-
state commerce, and protect the peo-
pie of each State from exorbitant ex-
actions of roads within the State, and
that the only permanent guarantee
against unjust rates is found in the
opening and maintaining of free
highways by water channels. The
railroad question is also under the
consideration in the Farmers COnven-
tion. Some of it's members advocate
building railroads by the Government;
some are in favor of great highway
to be built and owned by the farmers.

SPRINGFIELD, Oct. 2}.-Moses Will
liams, the young fellow who was SEN
fenced to the penitentiary few days
since, for larceny, claims to be able to
solve the mystery surrounding the
death of ex-Secretary of State Sharon
Tyndall, who was murdered here in
April, 1871, and whose murderers have
SO far eluded detection. Williams says
four men were implicated and offers
to point them out, provided that upon
their conviction he receives pardon for
his present offenses. He claims that
in denOuncing them he also avenges
himself upon a gang who helped his
last conviction, because he knew too
much. Williams, although young, Is
a noted thief, and has heretofore been
the chief of gang infesting this city.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-The Presi-
dent received to-day large number
of visitors. He was asked about the
contents of his recent letter to Mr..
Williams, the New York Bank Presi-
dent and said he therein repeated his
former remarks; namely: That in ad-
dition to what had already been done
by the government, the only way of
relief was for the government to buy
exchange; but exchange could not now
be bought as the government has no
use for it, having purchased already
enough on London for the Navy and
State departments, to answer present
purposes. There H. no intention he
further remarked to draw OH the S44, >
100000 reserve, except to meet the
current expenses of the government.
The money will be used for no other
purpose.

Fatal Accident.
PRESCOTT, via San Bernardino, |
Oct 0har Is

PRESCOTT via San Bemardino,
October Is.
A fatal accident occurred on Friday
last. Richard Golfers came to his
death from the accidental discharge of
his own gun, at point on the hills be-
tween town and the Burnt Ranch.
Acting Coroner Judge Flewery was
notified of the fact, and at once caused
the corpse to be brought to him. An
examination was held, and the follow
ing facts elected: J. Goldstein and
Mr.. Golfers started in light wagon
for Williams Valley, and when short
distance this side of Burnt Ranch, at a
bad place in the narrow road, they
met a freight train, and it was neces-
sary to give the track to the heavier
wagon. Mr.. Goldstein jumped out to
speak to the freighters, and Golfers
turned the wagon from the road. He
was scarcely out of the track when the
report of gun was heard. On exam
inatiOn it was found that the ball had
entered Golfers right cheek, coming
out at the other side, carrying his hat
away with it some 25 yards. The gun,
splendid Sharpe's rifle, was found on
the ground with the stock, trigger
guard and other iron work broken
square off, most likely having been
caught in the wheel. The funeral took
place on Saturday afternoon. Mr. Col
lers was reised somewhere in the west.
He resided here some three years, es-
teemed by all who knew him.

This and That.

The story that Leavenworth father
had offered $4,000 to any one who
would marry his cross-eyed daughter,
brought about eight hundred strangers
into that town, i'm one week. A few
OF them left when they found that the
girl was cOlOred.
A compact was recently entered into
by two lawyers of Titusville. Each
agreed with the other not to drink any
intoxicating liquor, except when duck
shooting, under forfeit of one hund-
red dollars. Now, one of them keeps
a duck in his back yard. The other
lawyer also keeps private duck.
A bunch of shingles was manufac-

back three and One-half miles, and sold
them at store for -four for the sup
port of her family. Her husband was
sick at the time and not able to work.
The bunch has been presented to the

The Citv and the Gas.

The proprietor of contemporary
daily remarked some days ago that
he had noticed with pleasure the eff
forts of the HERALD to settle the
much vexed question of lighting the
city. He added however, II am afraid
you will get sick of it in time, 1 have
tried it myself without effect" The
ground which this journal takes is
that it is of no consequence who is
right or who is wrong. The city ought
to be lit. Some eastern people stay
ing at the Pico House a short time ago
remarked that there seemed to be gas
works and were evidently lamp posts,
but that they supposed the city was too
poor to pay for its lighting. The cap
tious and snarling enemies of Los An
geles in other towns, are always ready
to pick up little items to its disadvan-
tage, and here they have an undenia-
bly, big one. From San Luis to San
Diego, they can all quote clos Angeles
city is not lit with gas, it is perfectly
dark and disgrace to all other towns
of its size" The gas company denies
that it is in the wrong, states even in
yesterdays HERALD that it has Offer
ed unusual facilities to the city for
lighting the streets. The HERALD is
not prepared to accept these state
ments as truth, mcontradicted; but
it desires to sift the matter to the bot
tom, and it will never cease to agitate
the question until it knows whether
the city is wrong or the gas company
is wrong, and what is the remedy of
suffering citizens.

Judge Brunson and the Justiceship

1t is known that there is dispute in
regard to the legality of the election of
Judge Brunson. The constitution, in
providing for the election of Justices to
fill vacancies, is quite blind, some good
lawyers interpreting that the Justice
il elected to serve for ten years, whether
his predecessor had served his full
term or not, and others hold that a
Judge who is elected to fill vacancy,
Occasioned by death, only serves out
the unexpired term of his predecessor.
The Judge intends to prosecute vigOr-
Ously his right to the seat now occu-
pied by Judge Crockett, holding that
he should lay down the judicial er-
mine on the first Of January, when the
term ofhis predecessor regularly closed.
At that time he will make the demand
for the office, and, if it is not bestowed
upon him, he will take the proper le-
gal steps to obtain it. The Judge is a
lawyer of fine abilities and keen judi
cial talents, and is supported by a
strong coterie of friends.
