Thanks and Goodbye.

EDITORS HERALD: For the eff
cient aid of the HERALD in carrying
forward the Illustrated Press enter
prise in this city and county, now
make my most hearty acknwledg-
ments. The comprehensive apprecia-
ton and quick sympathy of a journal
conducted with the vigor and ability
of the HERALD, not only greatly
cheered me in a most laborious and
vexatious undertaking, but also greatly
aided me in bringing the enterprise up
to such complete and commanding
success. 1t will afford me much
pleasure to reciprocate your good will
on all occasions.
The citizens of this city and county
are now to complete the task of rails
ing funds for the most ample presenta-
tiOn of the resources and developments
of this county and city, both in the
stereopticon and the engravings for
the Press. The committee in charge
of this matter will at once give citi-
zens an opportunity to lend their aid.
Mr.. Simon Stoll has been appointed
general agent for the Press ih this
proprietor of the book store near the
Postotfice, will also receive subscrip-
tions and transmit thesu due from
those who have given me their
names.
At four o'clock to-day L start for
home by rail and steamer where I
shall remain bus few days and then
go on to the East and Europe. 1t af-
fords me not little pleasure to know
that nearly all the people of Southern
California AMI many leading spirits
in San Francisco will rejoice in my
mission abroad.
Gratefully yours,
j. a. JOHNSON.

Adolph Strecker, San Francisco
rifieman, has carried off the first hon
ors at the great National Shooting
Festival at Baltimore. Strecker made
457 BULLS eyes, leaving him 172 ahead
of any of the other marksmen. He
also made 81 out of so in the ring
shooting, and won the third place.
Strecker is only about twenty-one
years of age, and is member of the
Schutzen-Verein and National Rifle
Clubs, of this city, and is reckoned the
crack shot of both. He is of pallid
complexion, tall stature, and very
cool when he takes rifle in his hand.
At $50 yards he has scored as high as
10 bulls eyes out of 20, and has made
a string of 214 in 20 shots. He is a
barber by trade, and owns shop of
his own on Post street. The members
of his club, and, indeed, all Germans
interested in target shooting, intend
giving him a reception on his return
to San Francisco.

THE manner in which the public
mind has received and considered the
BEECHER-TILToN scandal is so pecul-
iar-so unlike the usual reception ac-
corded to stained pictures or immodest
narratives-that a little careful study
of the domestic panorama will, per-
haps, repay the trouble. Gilt-edged
vice is attractive. The scarlet wom-
ans hideousness decreases with the
richness and elegance of her robe
The glamour of wealth and position
so mystifies and clouds the modern
mind, that rustic virtue fades to in
significance when ranged by the side
of the city indiscretion. The position
of Brooklyn's celebrities softens, al
most palliates, thelenormity of an of
Tense which would have hurled JACK
and GILL to infamy's depths and
turned heavenward the noses of a
dozen Mrs. GRUNDYs.

WE ALMOST despair of ever leading
the Express into the path of duty. 1t
is stiff-necked and obstinate. 1t is
narrow-minded and "narrow between
the eyes" We should be ever so we'll
pleased to have that paper assist US in
the task of placing our municipal To-
comotive on the track of progress, but
we are afraid we cannot depend on it,.
1t could not direct and control the pres
ent City Council, and it therefore feels
called upon to denounce each member
of that body as slow coach, compared
with which an OK cart or the Erpress
is lightning train. We regret this,
and we hope to record change in its
sentiments before many days. There
are some progressive men in the Coun-
ell. One member, Mr.. BEAUDRY, is
doing more to advance the interests of
this city in one day than many richer
men will do in the next decade.

A Thievlng Mail Clerk.

New YORK, August PA special
from Baltimore to the Times says: G.
w. Claypole, clerk in the Postoffice,
was arrested on Saturday night. He
is charged with stealing letters an
valuables from the mails. The pilfer-
ing has been going on eight months.
He was not previously suspected be-
cause he was employed in the news
paper department. He confesses his
guilt, and has surrendered a package
of fifty letters and a splendid pearl
necklace and cross, mailed from New
York, which constituted his recent
spoil. He was detected through decoy
letters. Over one hundred rified let
ters were found in another coat be-
longing to Claypole.

The rpet-Bagger---His Work.

1t is not true that the acts
of violence constantly recurring
at the South are due entirely to the
ignorance and brutality of the negro.
1t is true that were he more intelli-
gent and more humane it would be
more difficult to impose on his under
standing and arouse him to deeds of
violence, but he is not acting on his
own promptings and obeying his own
instincts when he asserts his right to
marry o white woman against the
wishes of her parents and proclaims
his resolve to maintain that right by
force, if denied by the lady's family.
He is simply reiterating what he has
been taught by the class of individu-
ais who have to very great extent
controlled the affairs of nearly every
Southern State since the close of the
war, called "carpet-baggers." These
Adventures have educated the negro
to hate their old masters, and the re-
suit is that those white men who
would stand the friend and adviser of
the ignorant colored man, are made to
appear as his worst enemy. The be-
stowal of the right of suffrage on the
negro was placing in his hands a
weapon he was more likely to use for
offensive than defensive purposes, but
the influence of the carpet-bagger has
reduced the possibility to certainty,
and there is much argument to be
adduced in support of the assumption
that the negro's chance for becoming
an intelligent and useful citizen at
some period in the far-off future
would have been enhanced had
the ballot failed to reach him
during the first hundred years or
so succeeding his emancipation.
Without the ballot, he would have
suffered abuses and grievous wrongs,
but he would never have maltreated
himself as he is now doing. He would
have been the victim of their persecu-
ton, but not the dupe of these most
unprincipled of men. His rights
would have been fewer, but they
would have been maintained without
recource to arms, and the conflict of
races which he now seems determined
to bring about would not have trans
pired. So far, the ballot has not done
great deal for the negro beyond max
ing him the tool of the carpet t-bagger
to the extent of using his power
against himself and his friends.

STAND BY THE LOCAL Press
f, The season having arrived i'm which
the people throughout the country
are deliberating upon the allowance
of reading matter which they can af-
ford for the year to come, the Inter
Ocean desires to offer a word of adj
vice on that subject. The best indi-
cation OF the thrift, intelligence, and
public spirit of any community is
evidenced to the outside world by
well supported, neatly printed,
sprightly and carefully edited local
journals. There are many such ON
our exchange list, and we would like
To name several that il is always u

vidious. In no way, through no

Is favored with an excellent county
paper, the editor Of which is wid.-
awake and alive TO all its interests,
Jealous in protecting its good name,

no one will dispute the prenises-it
follows that the first duty of the pe0-

ing matter of any kind. Do not put
off paying for the local paper, or

vantage of the local press, for il fills

which we have neither the disposi-
ton nor ability to compete. No

Dureii to Escape.

TEE CONDUCT of Judge Durell in oveIlhrow v ing
the legally elected government OF Louisiana was
considered so indefensible, SO outrageous, that
the very partisans who at first encouraged him
were compelled to seemingly denounce 1t, Yet
it was sustained by Attorney General Williams,
and, sad to say, by the President, who loaned the
military arm Of the government to prop as vile an
usurpation as the world ever witnessed The voice
Of public opinion began 10 be heard and recoguiz-
ed at Washington however, and then the attempt
was made to make Durell the scspegoat. The
House of Representatives shrank from commit
ing itself upon the dangerous subject and the Sen
ate delayed any action which might be construed
into endorsement or Condemnation. Then the
threat was freely circulated that Durell to be
impeached. This was confession that Judge
DurelTs action was illegal and his conduct crimi-
nal Nothing was absolutely promised in the way
Of remedying or redressing the wrong accomplish
cd through Durells instrumentality; the Kellogg
usurpatlon was to remain a burden and disgrace
to the sovereign State Of Louisiana; the wrong
was to be penetrated, but public indignation must
be appeased by the punishment OF the individual
whose "bfgh crimes and misdemeanors" had solely
inflicted shameful outrage upon State.
Now it is stealthily mooled that bill is in prep
aration which Will make two judicial districts OF
Louisiana. In Other words Durell VIII be quietly
legislated out Of Office, and OF course, he will
escape the threatened impeachment What does
this mean That the government dares not even
punish DurellG 1t seems SO, indeed, when the
lana is TO be allowed to escape responsibility for
his crimes. The fact is, Durell will not consent
to be made scape goat OF. and his Impeachment
would place those in higher places in no envable
light before the country The analysis of the law
aud the evidence made by Senator Carpenter in
his recent speech shows conclusiyely that Durell
did only what he was told TO do; the support
given SO promptly to Kellogg shows that Durell
was not unsupported; the action of the Attorney
General and the President, Immediately after the
legal government of the State was forcibly dis
placed and deposed, betrays concert between the
administration and the judge and TO lay all the
evidence, documentary, ctcumstantial and oral,
before the public-as an impeachment trial GER
tainly would-would show that, bad as was the
corrupt judge, there were worse men in collusion
with him. This will account for the sudden ne
cessity OF dividing louisiana into two judicial
districts and perhaps, accounts for the suspicious
suppression of message lately contemplated BY
the President Baltimore Ne,os.
