DisgracefuI Disclosures.

If further evidence were needed to
prove the outrages that have been
heaped upon the people of Louisiana
and the villainous character of KEEL
LoGa and the duplicity and venality
Of the men who for years have acted
as the leaders of Congress, it will be
found in the telegraphic news we pub
lish this morning. The rascally
usurper has been held in power by
these leaders-these red-handed viii
lains-of Congress. We say red-hand-
ed because these men are directly re-
sponsi BILE for the blood shed in Louisi-
ana since the usurper started on his
career of lawless tyranny. CHANDLER
receives $4,000 for his services; CALEB
CUSHING is paid $4,000 $4,000 for
himself and $1,000 for CHANDLER.
BEN BUTLER, honest BEN BUTLER
who has the reputation of being thief
and seems determined that he shall
not be belied nor falsely accused
thinks his services in Congress as the
champion of KELLOGG ought to be
worth $4,000, and he modestly requests
the remittance of that amount. These
figures enable us to estimate the cost
of Congressional leaders, services in
a dirty job and villainous outrage on
the people, but we do not know the
fee of a President in such case. We
hope GRANTS share in this detestable
affair will also come to the light.
Those transactions could hardly have
transpired without his knowledge. If
prominent Congressman accepted fees
as pettifoggers for an outlaw and their
action received the sanction of the
President, it is right and proper that
the people should be apprised of the
fact. The BEEcHER-TILToN scream
ing farce has ended, and we ring up
the curtain on a peoples shame and a
nations disgrace.

The State Fair.

SACRAMENTO, Sept. 24,-The stock
was again paraded at 10 o'clock this
morning at the race-track, and occu-
pied the entire length of the track
one mile. Eastern men who were
present say they never saw such a fine
exhibition, and willingly award the
palm to California.
The committees on awards are Ill
appointed, and meet this afternoon at
l O'clock.
A 8 o'clock this morning the party
started from the Capital Hotel to the
plowing match on Richmond's ranch,
at U and V streets, between Twenty
fifth and Twenty-seventh streets.
The excitement continues with res
pect to the race tomorrow, in which
Occident, Sam Purdy and Blackbird
contest for the special premium of
$4,000.
The pavilion this morning is crowd
ed, mainly with ladies and their fam
lilies, to avoid the crush of the evening
session.
Visitors continue to crowd in on the
railroad. The train at noon brought
up quite a large company from San
Francisco, and farmers teams have
poured in this morning from the sur
rounding country in unprecedented
large numbers.

Meeting of the Grand lodge CT the
United States in Alabama.

AS our readers have already been
apprised by telegraph, the Grand
Lodge of Odd Fellows of the United
States met at Atlanta, Georgia, on
Monday last. This is the first meet
ing of the Grand Lodge in the South
since the war, and is hailed as calcu-
lated to infuse new life and energy in
the order in the Southern States and
to confirm the feeling of fellowship
and brotherhood so desirable between
the sections. The growth of the order
in the North has been most rapid and
gratifying, while in the South, owing
to the peculiar situation of the coun-
try and the unsatisfactory condition
of affairs. it has with difficulty even
maintained its ground. Without
doubt the meeting of the Grand
Lodge in the midst of the country will
give new impetus to the prosperity of
the order in that section.
The former officers of the Grand
Lodge were M. w. G. Sire, G. A. Lo-
gan of Kansas; Dep. G.. Sire, M. J.
Durham of Kentucky; M. w. G. Sec.,
]. l.. Ridgley of Baltimore; M. w. G.
Treasurer, Joshua VanZandt of Balti-
more.
On meeting the Grand Lodge elected
the following grand officers for the en-
suing term: M. w. Grand Sire, M. J.
Durham (recently Deputy Grand Sire; ;
ID. G. Sire, John w. Stokes of Penn
sylvania; M. w. G. Secretary, ]. l..
Ridgley; and M. w. G. Treasurer,
Joshua Vanzandt, both reelected.

Volume Three.

With the issue of this morning, the
DAILY HERALD commences it's third
volume, and we improve the occasion
to say few words concerning the time
past and to glance at the prospects of
the future. When one cannot look on
the record made in the light of ap-
proval it is perhaps the wisest and
best to make the look as short as pos
sible. The first volume of the HERALD
was badly edited and, if possible, still
worse managed. The craft was new
and staunch, but it had youth, mex
perience and indiscretion at the helm,
and it was due more to good luck than
good management that the voyage did
not terminate almost before it began,
in disastrous wreck. Thanks to the
toleration and good nature of the peo-
pie, the HERALD lived through an un-
popular administration and until its
control was assumed by abler and
more experienced hands. From the
commencement of the second volume
its progress has been onward and up
ward. 1t is rare thing for news
paper involving the large current ex-
penses of the HERALD to pay its way
under two or three years, but during
the last two months of the volume
just closed the receipts have exceeded
the expenses of the paper by several
hundred dollars. We note a steady
increase in the advertising patronage
and circulation of the HERALD. We
believe it is not claiming more than
will be generally admitted when we
say that the HERALD has done much
perhaps more than all of its contem-
poraries combined-toward advertis-
ing the advantages of Los Angeles
valley, in soil and climate, over any
other portion of the Pacific Coast, and
we are in daily receipt of letters
from people on the eastern side
of the continent, who say
that the knowledge which has
created desire to visit this coun-
try was derived from the HERALD or
HERALD pamphlet. 1t has been the
object of the HERALD in the past, and
it will be its purpose in the future, to
speak truthfully and earnestly
of our local interests. Los Angeles
valley is a broad field containing
much to talk about, discuss and de-
velop. We prefer to fill the HER
AIDS columns with articles descrip-
tive of our rich soil and it's astonish-
ing products; of our rare climate and
its wonderful effects on the human
system; of our inexhaustible resources
and the most practical modes for their
development, and of the many fiatter-
ing inducements offered to honest, in
dustrious men and women to come
here and build their homes among us,
rather than deal out long homilies on
national issues and affairs in Europe.
The advocacy of the interests of
Southern California in general and of
Los Angeles Valley in particular is
the mission of the HERALD. How
well and acceptably to the people it
has performed its task thus far, let it's
large advertising patronage and ex-
tensive circulation be admitted as evil
dence. The paper is not yet what we
intend to make it, but it will improve
in the full proportion of its support
and encouragement.

An Odd Fellows Hall.

In Stockton the Odd Fellows Hall
is the largest and most imposing
building in the place. In Vallejo the
Odd Fellows have built beautiful
hall, which is already source of rev.
enue to the lodges owning it. The
Odd Fellows of San Jose have just
completed a splendid hall. Neither
Stockton, Vallejo nor San Jose are as
large in point Of population, nor does
any one of them contain greater
number of Odd Fellows than Los An
geles. Yet here the lodges meet in a
rented, and we are told, not first class
hall. There are, we presume, some
four or five hundred Odd Fellows in
Los Angeles. There are three subor-
dinate lodges and an Encampment.
If our information is correct all are
rich, or have considerable money in
their treasury. This being the case,
one naturally wonders why the Odd
Fellows of this city are not the owners
of one of the finest buildings in it.
The Odd Fellows building in Stockton
cost about one hundred thousand dol
lars. 1t was built on the corporation
plan, the stock being all taken by the
members of the order, and it is now
paying handsome profit on the
money invested. That of Vallejo is
the work of few energetic Odd Eel
lows, who saw that they wanted
ho nd ,oIa
formed, but it was built by Odd Eel
lows. We wonder the Odd Fellows
of Los Angeles do not build hall that
Will be credit to their energy, an or
nament to the city and source of rev.
enue to those owning stock in it.

SOME idea of the immense increase

SOME idea of the immense increase
of our commercial interests may be
obtained from the fact that Superin-
tendent HEWITT yesterday received u
dispatch from San Francisco inform
ing him that the steamer Orizaba had
just sailed with five hundred and sew
enty-five tons of freight for Los Ange-
les. This is the largest amount of
freight ever shipped by any one vessel
for this port. We are informed that
the six steamers running between
Wilmington and San Francisco are
not able to carry all the freight offered
for down the coast. The officers say
the amount is steadily increasing, and
there is no doubt but that when the
Panamint freight increases as it will
in short time, it will be necessary to
add couple more steamers to the
line.

"sAM PuRpy', walked-or, rather,

"SAM PURDyr walked-or, rather,
trotted-off with Occident," as will
be seen in our telegraphic news. 1t
is reported that a large amount of
money changed hands. This is very
probable, as the heats were won and
lost in just the right shape to cause
people to lose money. Occident"
winning the two first heats was calcu-
lated to induce the average horse-race
gambler to bet high that he would
win the third heat and race. But as
"Purdy" took the next three heats
and the purse, Occident" " men were
the losers. Horse racing is very un-
certain business anywhere, and in
California it is exceedingly difficult
for an outsider to tell which horse will
win. ecu

Council, because to do so would give
away within fraction of two acres of
land owned by the city. He does not
doubt but that to do the necessary
grading in front of the property will
cost almost as much as it is worth, but
he cannot find law or custom which
will warrant the act Of giving away so
large an area of the city's land I'M
der the circumstances we would sug-
gest to the Association the propriety
of accepting the deed for the lot and
asking the city to have the remaining
lots, or so many Of them as desired,
