Railroad Prospects.

One of the engineers of the Central
Pacific Railroad Company is now or
ganizing a company in San Francisco
for the purpose of thoroughly exam
lining the different routes by which
the Southern Pacific road may pass
through the mountains between the
Los Angeles and the San Joaquin
Valleys. The examination of the
country will be very thorough, and it
is probable that some of the routes
run by this party will be adopted as
the location of the road. 1t appears
that the company fully realize the i'm
portance of connecting the roads in
this valley with the main trunk of the
Western Pacific, now completed to
Bakers field, at the earliest possible
moment. We regard the sending out
of a corps of engineers with instruc-
tions to rerun every line and carefully
examine each route, as indicative of
active operations in road building
early next Spring. The report of the
chief of the party now about TO start
out will no doubt determine the route
of the road, and this once settled, the
wires of the Atlantic and Pacific Tele-
graph Company will be extended to
this city almost Immediately, which
will be another great accommodation
to the people of this part of the world.

The New Railroad.

The Southern Californian, Of Ana
helm, does not have much confidence
in the Los Angeles and Coast Railway
Company, and more than doubts the
success of the enterprise for which the
company is organized. Our southern
neighbor gives the names of number
of companies that have disbanded be-
fore accomplishing their mission and
intimates that the last on the list of
railroad organizations'will go the way
of the rest. We are more confident.
The new company is not undertaking
large job. The difference between
the cost and the Importance of the
proposed narrow gauge is considerable.
No enterprise started in this valley
has been received with as much favor by
the people generally as this one to give
us another outlet to the sea. The stock
is in demand, and already nearly the
entire amount required before COM
mencing the work, is subscribed. We
thank the Californian for it's compli-
mentary remark relative to the infiu-
ence of the HERALD, and will add
that we shall continue in the future,
as we have in the past, to advocate all
measures which we believe designed
to advance the interests Of the entire
valley.

Sensible Remarks.

Some people have a fixed notion
that the employment of a person to
perform a stipulated service gives
them the right to control that PERSONS
every thought and action. In no in
dividual or corporation has this spirit
more strongly or arbitrarily mani
tested itself than in school directors.
Sometimes the school director pos
sesses all the characteristics of dom
key, except the ears. Such directors
are generally tyrants, and would not
under any circumstances employ a
young man or a young woman as q
teacher who did not think on all po-
litical and religious subjects just as
they did. Some of these old fellows
learned geography on the flat earth
theory, and of course they will have
no teacher holding globe notions.
Others have peculiar religious tenents,
and they will support no teacher not
so peculiarly twisted. OF these old
fossils the Chicago Teacher says: "Our
observation lately has led us to con-
clude that there are some school di-
rectors living yet, in the last half of
this nineteenth century, who believe
that when they hire q teacher they
hire all That is of him-body, soul,
mind, conscience, everything; that by
engaging to teach their school he has
engaged to hold no opinions contrary
to their opinions; to cherish no doxy
except their doxy; to vote as they vote;
to think as they think; to bless what
they bless, and to curse what they
curse. Such beings are as fit for
school directors, as a Hottentot is fit
for courtier, or Modoc for family
priest. They have yet to learn the
first principles of manhood, of Chris
tian charity, of civilization. A Aschool
board is derelict in its duty if it neg
lects to demand of teacher the full
est exercise of his powers, and a per-
feet abstinence from all instruction of
politics and religion, in the school
room, and perfectly moral character
both in the school room and out of it..
Beyond this they have no right to go.
The parliamentary law is here re-
versed. A teacher may be called to
account for words spoken IN the school
room, but not for sentiments expressed
out of it. And school official who
permits party or sectarian zeal to in
f1uence his vote for, or conduct to a
teacher, either for or against him, de-
serves the execration of the commune
ty; and 80 does the teacher who sac
rifices his manhood by becoming o
slave to the whims of school board"

GEO. D. ROBERTS a well known
Stock broker and capitalist of San
Francisco was indicted some months
ago on a charge of obtaining money
under fale pretenses, through selling
stock in the Burro- Burro mines which
he knew to be worthless. The case
came up for trial few days ago and
the jury returned verdict of not
guilty without leaving their seats.
The complainant was one L. L.
TREADwELL who invested $50,0O0 in
Burro-Burro stock and not realizing
from it he undertook to play even on
ROBERTS but failed to accomplish his
purpose.

A Bad Precedent.

The Common Council, or at least
seven members of that body, decided
to donate the City Assessor 500 more
than he is allowed by law as his an
nual salary. This will strike the ma
jority of people as a very careless
handling of the taxpayers money.
The Assessor accepted the Office with
a fixed salary of $500 per annum, and
1t will be difficult to explain why the
Council votes him $500 in excess of
what his salary amounts to. He
agreed to do the work for $500, and the
plea that the job was greater and more
expensive than he expected, is not
entitled to consideration. The Asses
sor Is city contractor. The corpora
tion offered $500 to the person who
would do the city assessing for one
year, and the Assessor undertook the
job for the stipulated compensation,
and he has no right to ask and the
Council no right to give him one dol
lar more. If the Assessor may come
In for extra pay, the HERALD may
also ask and receive extra pay. The
HERALD Publishing Company are do
ing the city printing at a considerable
loss. We took the contract at rates
which would just cover the cost of the
work, provided the volume did not
exceed that of last year. But, like the
Assessor, we have been little mis-
taken. The Council is heaping the
work upon US, and at the rate it is now
coming in, the actual cost of compost
tion will exceed by one thousand dol
lars or more the sum for which we
agreed to do the work. Have not the
HERALD and Cronico the same right
as the Assessor to ask for indemnity
on losing job? One claim is as Just
as the other, and if one is granted the
other cannot be denied. If the Council
is SO liberal with the taxpayers money
that the Assessor is presented seven
hundred dollar slice, we see no reason
why we and the Cronico and other
contractors may not be favored in the
same way.

MURDER.
A Man Literally Chopped Up with
am Axe.

From the San Bernardino Guardian, Sept. s. J
We have had carnival of violent
crimes during the week. First, the
attempted robbery of the stage; next,
the desperate attempt of the robbers
to escape from the officers, and now q
murder, horrible and revolving in it's
cold-blooded details.
The details of the murder are, as far
as known, as follows: The murdered
man, Smith, and the alleged murder
er, Bonner, were observed together on
Monday night. They had bottle of
whisky, and were drinking. They
had been enemies until recently, when
reconciliation was affected, since
which they had apparently been on
friendly terms. While on bad terms
Bonner, it is said, frequently made
threats against Smith, declaring that
he could kill him without compunc-
tion. 1t is said that he made the
same expression on the night of the
killing.
The chief witness against Bonner is
Samuel Reynolds, his cook. Reynolds
says that on Monday evening he saw
Bonner and Smith walking past q
window in Bonner's house; that a few
moments after he heard noise, as of
a falling body; that he then opened
the door and heard three blows; that
as he opened the door, Bonner turned,
running around the house, with some-
thing in his hand, and then entered
the house. Reynolds then ran to
Smith and found him lying on the
ground; spoke to him, but was not
answered. He examined Smith sew
eral times after, and always found him
unconscious. Reynolds thereafter
adopted very singular course, to saw
the least; he kept quiet, spread no
alarm, said nothing to Bonner. In
the morning he gave the alarm, ac-
cusing Bonner of the murder, who
was, upon the suggestion of Mr.. Cal
houn, arressed. An inquest was held
by Justice Atkinson, and the forego-
ing testimony elected.
Bonner was Immediately dispatched
in custody of Messrs. Hurley, Cum
mings and Murphy, to Jail here. He
and his wife protest his innocence, but
public opinion in Holcomb unani-
monsly declares his guilt. The killing
was done with heavy instrument,

REPORTS that the fruit is going to
waste are chronicled in a number of
our exchanges. When we have few
more Alden fruit dryers in operation
this story will no longer be heard.
The energy of Mr.. GEO. b. DAVIS, as
sisted by few of our moneyed men,
will soon have sufficient number of
these evaporators in operation to save
all the fruit grown, or that can be
grown, in this valley.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1874-09-06

probably an axe, though it cannot be
found. The murder was most cold
bloooded and brutal.
In the absence of clearer testimony
1t would be esunfair to express our opin-
ion as to the guilt of the prisoner. We
can only hope that the murder will be
brought home to the murderer, who
ever he is.

HOLY MOSES.

We have heretofore alluded to Moses
versatility. He has proven himself to
be most consummate pardoner of con-
victs, and committer of larcenieS, and rs
u religious teacher has no equals; but
now he assumes q new role; that of
iinancier. He claims that he has reduced
the expenses of South Carolina
six million of dollars The way he did
il was this, he scaled the debt of the
State, compelling the creditors to take a
certain percentage or nothing. In other
words, repudiated great part OF the
debt. Truly Moses is getting up ma
tional reputation. He is an ornament to
his party, and ought at once to be made
Secretary of the Treasury. He would
pay off the national debt in short order.

MOULTON'S STATEMENT.

This statement occupies our columns
this morning to the exclusion of almost
everything else We trust that this will
he the last report of any length connect
cd with the great scandal. As 1t is,
MOULToN'S statement will work
out no effect one way or the
other. Those who believe BEECHER gull
~, will be glad Of this rs atiording them
additional grounds for their belief. while
his friends will rs unhesitatingly cling to
the idea of his innocence, and will pro-
nounce MOULToN humbug. In despite
Of this testimony, there is little doubt but
that the Plymouth Church Committee
will bring in their verdict of not guilty,
and the church itself will rejoice, and in
crease his salary.
Thetruth is, Plymouth Church cannot
do without Mr.. BEEeHER. There would
be no Sunday recreation for its members
were heto be dethroned. So MOULTON'S
statement is Simply superhuous, for it
will have no effect on that body, and the
public are so Gisgusted with the whole
matter that BEECHER'S innocence or
guilt has ceased to become matter of
any very general interest.

THE BIACK HILLS EXPEDITION.

General CUSTER ana his command
have been creating considerable excite
ment by developing what has been 10
the greater part of our people an I'M
known land in the far West. Glowing
descriptions of lis magnificent beauties
of scenery and vegetation heightened
by the lavishnc,s of It's mineral wealth,
have been written Ii has been painted
i'm all the colors of the rose, and doubt
less many an adventurous heart has been
set to beating cxcitedly while reading of
this new paradise and El-Dorado.
Probably numerous trunks have been
packed, wash basins, kettles and guns or
dered, and every preparation made to
start at once and engage in digging out
wealth from the bowels of this gold
lined section. The New York
press have been publishing letters
from correspondents accompanying
the expedition, in which are
most cxtravagantly depicted ali the
loveliness which the widest imagination
could call up; dwelling not alone upon
the millions of flowers which illuminate
their path, and the gold dust lying on
the soil, but also upon the peacetulneSs Of
the march unmolcsted by fierce Indian
forays, or ought else to make them
afraid.
But like everything else, this country
has its dark side, dark in proportion to its
described brightness Already the north
ern correspondents dream Of peace has
been rudely awakened by the unmusical
shout of the Indian war whoop, and it is
highly probable that he has begun to feel
that this isn't such a delightfully."- angel
lie abode after all.
A correspondent of California paper
who has probably had more practical ez-
perience here than the eastern stranger,
remorSeleSsly dispelS the illusion around
the place as flower garden. He says
that in about month from now where
are seen these lovely flowers and perch
NAL verdure, there will be found only
snow and ice. The now flowing limpid
streams will be held hard and fast in the
embrace of the Ice King. That the only
two seasons known are summer and
winter. The former is pleasant enough,
while it lasts; but this is only the case for
three months in the year, the other nine
being so cold as to render the
country uninhabitable. 1t is positively
cruel thus to diSpel romance, but from
looking at both sides of the question we
have formed the deliberate opinion that
it is far better and more profitable to be
engaged in turning coal, iron and glass
into gold here in Wheeling, than to be
picking flowers or freezing to death for
nothing in General CUsTAR's fairy
realm. And We believe too, that a ma
iority of the people are with US in this,
as in other subjects.
