PROSPECTUS
--OF--
THE Los ANGELES HERALD.

The first of October, THE Los ANGELES II FIR
AID, daily and weekly newspaper will
make It's appearance. The Daily will be a
neat and tastly printed seven-column news
paper, newsy rather than literary In charac-
ter. The Weekly will be II six-column, eight
page paper, ana will contain the most impor-
tant matter that has previously appeared In
THE DAILY HERALD.
1t is proposed that tho HERALD shall be an
unbOught advocate of every interest pertain
Ing to Southern California and Arizona, and
a Jealous worker in all things that shall tend
to benefit the State. In word it will be in
close communion with the People. In It's col
umns, from time to time will be found mat
ters of inter vt to the california Farmer, Me-
chanic, Merchant, I.aborcr, and all classes of
Producers; and II will also contain reading
matter suited to the Home Circle.
The HERALD will be an Independent Demo-
cratic jOnrnal and It's efforts directed to sweep
ing from power and place those now miSman-
aging the affairs ofthc Nation. For the accom-
plishmcnt ofthis end, 1t will hail with satisfac-
tiOn the corporation Ofthe members of all Par
ties, believing that the prosperity, perhaps
safety, of the NatIon depends upon the success
ofa movement ofthis character. 1t is" reform
now or revolution hereafter"
The HERALD Will advocate State Rights and
oppose Capitalization; twill encourage White
and oppose COOlie immigration. IL Will favor
Free Trade, and oppose Protective Tariff; it
will advocate II Grrenback Currency for Cali
fOrnia, and oppose the present dwarfng and
dcadenlng policy which uph0lds the present
ruinOus rates of interest and shuts out Eastern
capital. II will advocate the People and OPP
pose Monopolies, no matter what guisc they
may assume.
While the HERALD will treat Slavery rs Il
dead issue, II will earnestly advocate the
right Of'every State, he 1t Northern or South
ern itself in accordance with the wishes OF its
people, and the dictates of the Federal Con-
stitution, without national interference.
The HERALD will Oppose thieving and pecu,.
latiOn. No man rightly owns a dollar until
he earns it. Every dollar which Is taken
from the public treasury or private purse
without n just return Is robbery, and he who
takes this money is 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 II Will also con-
tain full Review of the Local and Foreign
Markets, and the Trades generally, honestly
and carefully complied

Fiendish Outrage by a Negro.

GEORGETOWN (DEL.), March 24.-At II
o'clock this morning daughter of John
Lank, a respectable gentleman residing near
Kehoboth Station, six miles from here, while
returning from her uncle's, was accosted By
negro named Joseph Green, OF Burton, who
tore her clothes off and violated her person
After the assault the villain fled, and the
girl who is fifteen years of age, managed to
reach her fathers residence and make known
the facts. The male population of the neigh
borhood are searching for the 6end, and no
doubt if caught, he will be lynched.
nater.-The negro, Joseph Burton, was sur
rounded in the woods, and captured about
two miles from the place where he committed
the crime at noon. and brought to this place
by an officer at p. NJ, and lodged in jail to
await trial in April. He is hardened wretch,
and makes light of the crime.

A Sad Case of Suicide.

TrrusvILLE (PA.) March 24.-The jury in
the case Thos F. Anderson. the bank officer,
who shot himself dead on March l4th have
returned verdict of insanity. The investiga-
ton was most searching and exhaustive and
the evidence proved conclusively that Mr..
Anderson was deranged when he committed
the fearful deed. The bank accounts are
strictly accurate, and no possible motive mo-
tive existed for the sad occurrence. The re-
snlt OF the inquest proves conclusiyely that
the trust reposed in the deceased was not vio-
lated until reason was dethroned, If at all.
and that he made no improper disposition Of
his employers funds.

An IMPORTANT Observation-Disclosures, under
any circumstances, party has power to break
open letter addressed to another has just
been decided adversely in an OHIO court The
case which came before the court was as fol-
lows 1t appears that one Nolan, having a
grudge against Mr.. Alfred Davis, of Tuscara-
was county, Ohio, took occasion 10 vent his
spite upon the latter by poisoning his horse
AS this offeuse is severely punished by the
laws of Ohio, and Nolan being apprised that
he was suspected, fed to parts unknown. Da-
Wis made an agreement with the postmaster at
Mineral Point that he should intercept any
letter which he should suspect as having come
from the accused a constable, also, who was
to have arrested Nolan, being in the scheme.
Some time afterward letter addressed to No.
lan's son was suspected as having been writ
ten by the old man, Davis and the constable
were at once notified, and the letter was hand
ed TO the constable to be broken open. Seeing
he was about to tear it open. the postmaster
suggested that he could open it in better man
ner, and it was handed 10 him, and he ran his
knife under the folding of the envelope and
priced it open Meanwhile, young Nolan came
in and demanded the letter, which was refused
him until read. The constable went to the
neighborhood designated By the letter and ar
rested Nolan Complaint having been lodged
against the postmaster for his conduct, he was
summoned to appear ut court TO answer the
charge preferred against him. After the case
had been tried, Judge Stoneman, the presiding
officer OF the court, gave II as his opinion that
under no circumstances whatever, car a letter
he broken open, and that no postmaster can
do so without fragrant violation of his con-
tract. Therefore he fined the defendant $3.50
and costs. There is no exception whatever
provided for such cases by the Post Office De-
nartmeut.

Report of the Grand Jury for March
Term, 1873.
To tie Honorable Judges Of the Circuit
Court Of Montgomery County, State Of

To The Honorable Judges of the Circuit
Court Of Montgomery County, State Of
Moryland:
The Grand Jurors for said county, in dis
charge of their duties, have visited both the
County Jail and the Aims House.
We found the Jail in a cleanly condition,
and the prisoners well cared for.
We found that the arching of the passages,
both in the first and second Stories had given
away but not 10 such extent as they could not
be readily repaired by good bricklayer. We
recommend prompt action in this matter.
We found the yard of the Jail in rather a
filthy condition, arising from improper drain
age, and there being no proper place for the
deposit of the human outcast both of which
defects should be remeded before the warm
weather is upon us, as they would tend to the
i'll health of the prisoners.
We also noticed a very large pile of coal
ashes in the yard, which we would suggest,
might he used to make walk approaching
the Jail and if they should not he sufficient
to complete this walk, other material he pro-
cured so TO do. The present walk is very
muddy. and consequently uncomfortable 10
pass over.
On our visit to the Aims House we found
everything in a very satisfactory condition,
with the exception that both sexes Of the blacks
are mingled together in their daily sittings.
We would recommend that a suitable room be
provided for the females.
Two matters in connection with the Metro
politan Branch Of the Baltimore and Ohio Bail
Road have been before us for action.
The first is that of defective crossing and
a defective bridge for two county roads in the
region of Germantown. This matter is to be
adjusted, under promise, by Mr. Thos. Ander-
son, Attorney for the Bail Road. The second
is that of the county road leading to Frederick
City.
About three-q quarters of a mile out Of Rock
willie this road commences TO run parallel with
the Rail Road and so runs for .abont three
quarters of mile, some places not over TWEEN
~ PAGES from the Rail Road.
1t appears that the Rail Road Company took
the bed of the old Frederick City road for the
bed of its road, and purchased lands of Mr..
Garrett and Mr.. Anderson, for the bed of the
new Frederick road
Travellers over this road risk life, limb and
property. Something should be done to re-
move such an evil We could not see how we
could do it; and, of consequence, wepresent
the matter to your Honors, trusting that your
higher knowledge Of the law might suggest
some remedy.
All of which is respectfully submitted.
