Louisiana FuHereFs,

EDITOR HERALD: The gentlemen
who have generously acted as COM
mittee fer the purpose of raising funds
for the benefit of the Louisiana suffer-
ers, report that those whom they have
solicited have almost universally
stated that while they had donated to
theFourth ofJuly celebration, had they
thought of the Louisiana sufferers,
they would have reserved their funds
entirely for that purpose; for while
their brothers were starving no greater
glory and pleasure could be derived
than by devoting those funds which
were raised for the celebration of the
Fourth of July to the saving of life,
in one section Of our own country,
rather than fleeting pleasures in an
other. We ask, then, the Committee
of the Fourth of July to call at once a
meeting, and invite with open doors
all of our citizens, especially those
who have contributed to both funds,
to take part in the meeting and eX-
press their wishes as to the disposition
of the moneys raised.

A correspondent of La Cronica, who
has been on a flying trip up the coast,
thus writes to his paper from San
Francisco in regard to the Local Option
law and the Central Pacific Railroad
Company. He says: Nothing occu-
pies the attention of the residents of
this part of the State more than the
Local Option law. AS for me, think
such a law is absurd and anti-consti-
tutional. 1t will not restrain those
who can afford it from buying and
consuming five gallons of liquor, and
it will simply be an injustice to the
poor who may need some and yet cam
not obtain itunless in large quantities.
| had occasion to notice some passen-
gers who arrived by the Central Pa
cific Road from the Eastern States.
One, n friend of mine, said he went
into the emigrant's department during
the trip, and a revolving spectacle met
his view. Even the filthy and crowded
condition of the steerage on the Pam
anna steamers in former times was
nothing compared TO the misery and
hardships endured by these poor emf
grant, in their transit to our hospita-
BILE shores.n

Oil Refining by the New Process.

Quite company of citizens assem-
bled at the store-room ON the corner of
Arcadia and Los Angeles streets yes
terday afternoon to witness the new
kerosene-oil refining process Of Mr..
Carreras, now used by the San Fer
nando Oil Works. The apparatus con-
sists of three Russia-iron tanks or fill
ters mounted on frame work, and ar
ranged one above the other so that
the fluid can be drawn from the upper
into the second, and from that into
the lower by means of faucets. The
upper tank is used merely for re-
ceiver into which the crude petroleum
is poured, and impregnated with GER
tain chemicals; the second has q
series Of five strainers through which
the fluid is filtered and purified, re-
ceiving the action of various chemi-
calls with each. The lower tank has q
coil Of pipe running through it inn
mersed in water chemically charged
so as to cool the clarified oil as it
passes through and dispel any gases
that may have been generated. The
whole apparatus is very simple and
easily operated. The crude petroleum
used was just as it came from the
ground, about the consistency of
cream and black as tar. This was
placed in the receiving tank, and in
about twenty minutes, was drawn
from the lower one clear and limpid
kerosene. Specimens Of the refined
fluid were filled into small bottles and
passed around in the crowd Of specta-
tors for inspection, where the tests
Of smell and sight were pretty thor
oughly applied to it. In every case it
was pronounced "Kerosene, sure
enough" and doubtless, as claimed for
it, the very best in the market. After
wards some other bottles were passed
around which the gentlemen inspect
ed by tasting, and called it first-rate,
too. The latter specimens were not Of
kerosene, however.
Without doubt, this new refining
process is one of the greatest inven-
tions Of the day. 1t is proving in
every respect what was promised for
Nv uOlDS lto WIN
and with small trouble and expense.
The total cost Of refining by this pro-
cess is about two cents per galloL,
whereas by the usual course of evap-
Grafton the expense is fully five cents.
Besides the enormous expense for
erecting machinery in the old method
is obviated, as we'll as all danger of
explosion through the heating and the
necessary close proximity of fire. BY
this means about eighty per cent. of
the petroleum is utilized, being double
that utilized in the old way. Besides
the kerosene there is secured lubri-
eating oil, which is said to be of the
finest quality. Great credit is due Mr..
Carreras for bringing out this really
wonderful invention, and we doubt
not that he will reap his full measure
of pecunfary reward from it when it
shall be fairly brought before the
world.
In the evening, the Refining Com
pany gave fine supper to their
friends, inviting them to table
loaded down with the richest viands
of the season. Everything passed off
in most enjoyable manner, and the
day was declared success in all re-
spectS.

"a New Variety Of Wheat"

thresh, as crop of steel wire. The
heads are double and sometimes treble
giving fine promise of abundant
yield-only to disappoint the hopes of
the farmer, the grain being small and

The record of crimes in the
Southern States presents a sum-
mary of outragcs which stag
gers belief: There is a great
difference between political con-
tests in the North and in TIE
South. In one it is brief and
peaceful, and in the other pro-
longcd and bitter, marked by
murdcrand assassination. InCne
Republicanism is the badge Of
honor; in the other it is a mark
of leprosy to be Stunned. The
circumstances Of reconstruc-
ton divided parties on the ba-
sis Of color as much asif it was
intention ally done, and this
has provoked strife. When

else Of the rights of citizen
ship, pride of race makes him
feel, though unjustly, that the
negro has acquired his rights by
the degradation Of the white
man. This makes the negro
feel uneasy and anxious. The
field for obtaining political adj
vice for the negro has been mar
rowed by opposition, and by
their dcnunciation of old and
new citizens whom they may af-
tiliate with. He that looks for
loyalty to the Democrats Of the
South will look in vain. Re
cent events have shown that no
Republican Government can be
sustained at the South without
Federal interference, until Dem
iocrats learn that it is in vain to
fight against the idea Of civil
and political equality.

The Southern Troubles.
The letter of Mr.. u. II Cham
bors, master of the State Grange
of Alabama,to O. H.Kelley, sec
rotary of the National Grange,
in answer TO letter from the
latter relative to the reports
of POLITICAL outrages in that
State, contains a good many
grains Of truth. He says: mo
band of incendiaries who ever
met under cover Of darkness to
plot schemes for burning the
homes of unsuspecting people
and numbering them in their
sleep, more richly deserve the
galIows. than do these scoun-
drels who deliberately concoct
lies for the purpose Of arraying
against the people Of the South
the prejudices and hatred of the
northern masses. Those har-
pies who have been fattening
upon their robbcries, forsee
their downfall in the coming e.
lection, and seek by lies TO in
flame the public mind Of the
North
The writer of this letter is ev-
identity a man who has been
deeply injured by carpet-bag
misrule, and due allowance
should be made for this circum-
stance when weighing the cause
he advocates. But after max
ing all such allowances as are
reasonable and right, it still APP
pears a very potent fact that
many of the appeals Of Southern
rulers to the North have been
adroitly conceived i'll plan to
awaken the prejudices of the
North against the extreme Gle
ment Of the southern whites
This has manifested itself very
forcibly in the case Of Governor
Kellogg. His story Of the stu
alton inhis ownsstate has always
been an'appeal to the sympathy
of the North. At one time he
even went so far as to state his
belief that conspiracy was on
foot in Louisiana, which contcm-
plated the complete extermina-
ton of the blacks. But Kellogg
is not the only Governor who
has made these appeals. Mo
ses, of South Carolina, has ia
ken a similar course, and has
often called upon the Federal
government for support.
On a former occasion in these
columns has it been asserted
that such things should not be
countenanced any longer. The
governmcntought toset an exam
pie in this business which will
be eflcctual. Nearly a decade
has passed since General Lee
surrendered at Appomattox and
some Of the Southern States
seem TO be little nearer self
government than they were then.
There is something fatally at
fault, and there can be little
question that it lies in the bal
lot-box. If public officers were
elected by majority of the act
nal voters in the State there
would he little danger of their
power being overthrown; and
lrss frequent appeals would
go to the North for sympa.
thy. 1t were most useful wis
dom for the government TO m-
,lerstand this and provide that
hcnceforth elections be conduct.
ed on the principle of simple
honesty. Then there will be
little call for northern sympathy
and aid.
