Governor Booth and his Unconst!-
tutlonal Draft Upon the
Treasury.

The report CT the Judiciary Commit
tee of the Senate, found in another
column, upon the right of the Cover
nor to draw separate salary as men,
Der of the Board of Examiners, is APP
parently conclusive against his Excel
lency. 1t is to be deeply regretted.
There has been such an abiding con-
fidence not only in his integrity, but
in his determination to arrest all pee
oulations and fraudulent use of the
public moneys; whether under pre-
tended legal color or otherwise, that
this report of the Committee is dis
appointment. While the case is made
so clear that the Governor ought to
have known it, still there can be no
doubt but that he believed that he was
legally entitled to this extra pay.
He has doubtless had bad adj
visors on this question as question of
constitutional law. The spirit of re-
form and publication is abroad, and
he holds too proud a position in con-
nection with the movement, to allow
any Inscriptions advisors to warp his
judgment or ease his conscience, for
that spirit will sweep him away as
quickly as it made him, if it discovers
u want of capacity to comprehend, or
not sufficient strength to resist the in
tiuence of men who do not mean re-
form and in whom the public have no
confidence. He, at present, is the inn
personation Of the reform-the one
in whom the people have the highest
confidence. He needs to keep himself
above suspicion.

A Road to the Mines.

A few days ago we suggested the ne
eessity of narrow-gauge railroad to
the Cerro Gordo mines, and now we
learn that Mr.. Brady is in the field
with project of that character COM
bined with works for smelling and re-
filming at Cerro Gordo and in this city.
The Importance of such an enterprise
both to the great mining region OF
Inyo county and to Los Angeles, can
hardly be computed. The treasures
buried in the mines of Cerro Gordo
and Pannamint are alone sufficient to
support respectable city, and if once
fully developed, and firmly secured to
our city, we should be able to drive
along on the road to greatness, with
out asking odds of anybody.
But we shall never succeed in hold
ing the trade of this section unless we
take steps to build a railroad. We
now communicate with that section
through the medium of the Cerro
Gordo Freighting Company, but with
all its heavy teams, it is unable to keep
up with the production of the present
works, and they have been obliged to
shut down. The extension of the
Southern Pacific road will in few
years at most, cut off this trade en-
tirely, if we do not take active steps to
provide some better way of transport
ing the product of the mines to mark
ct. We hope that Mr.. Brady will
meet with good encouragement for
his important enterprise, and bespeak
for him the earnest cooperation of the
citizens of Los Angeles.

The Teacher.

To be true teacher of the highest
dimensions of power and qualification,
requires breadth of resources, of q. ali
ties natural and acquired. A depth of
fullness of means, tact in impressing
ones self on others amounting almost
to a species of personal magnetism,
skill in government, talent in EXPOSE
ton, power in analysis, fullness of
knowledge, readiness of illustration, Il
sense of the beautiful in nature, art
and language, a simplicity of charac-
ter, singleness of aim, patience of
spirit, steadiness of purpose, an ac-
quaintance with human nature and a
development of religious feeling and
principle, as well as an energy of will,
fire of thought and an amount of
physical vigor; which, assembled to-
gether, make this field of human en-
deavor altogether paramount to every
other in its demands upon the whole
man, his whole time, his whole heart,
and his whole strength, within ana
without, at all times, and in all
things. No marvel is it that there
are SO many poor teachers! for in no
other style of man is such a height
and breadth of manhood necessary.

Scariatina-A Simple and Effective
Remedy.

The Chronicle of the Goth says that
lady in that city has received from a
friend in the East letter recommend
ing as a remedy for this disease as fol-
lows:
''There is remedy for searlatina
which was given me by an old lady
with whom was intimately acquaint-
ed, and who prescribed several times
for my children, and always with sue
cess, when l was out of the reach of a
physician. This remedy was little,
soft-shelled NUT very acrid in taste,
generally known as pig-nut. She said
there would be some trouble in pro-
curing them, but l presume they can
be found at your principle drug stores.
Pound them, shell and all, make a
strong tea, give the patient a table
spoonful, warm, with the same amount
OF warm whisky-sling alternately
every hour, keeping the patient in a
comfortably warm room, and if begun
In time there was no failure. She said
she had nursed many children through
it successfully, while physicians in the
same town rnd county had lost many
cases, or left them in diseased condi-
ton for life. Had 1 not the most inn

Fares and FreIghts.

Messrs. Highbie and Venable, repre-

against Freeman's bill to regulate
fares and freights, Mr.. Venable CIV
ing his reasons for that action in the
following remarks:
Before the vote is taken on this bill,
I feel / am not doing my constituents
justice until have entered my earn
est protest against its passage, for the
very good reason that as to all roads
in the county of Los Angeles it dis
eliminates directly against the pro-
tucer and the farmer. Now, sir, L
take 1T that wherever any discrimina-
ton is made against the producer
against the farmer-that is against the
interest of the community at large.
By this bill the rates and charges are
increased In the county of Los Angeles

Erie Railway Passes and Honest Congressman

A letter, of which the following is a
copy, dated at the office of New York
law firm, has been received by many
members of Congress here, both Demo-
cratic and Republican:
DEAR SIR will thank you to in
form me whether your Erie annual
pass for 1874 came safely to hand. 1t
was transmitted for you several days
ago. Yours truly. --
Some have answered loosely that
they have not received any such passes
and have no use for them, and some
do not pay attention to the above COM
munication. The amusing part of the
whole transaction is that in no case
have these passes been forwarded to
the parties to whom the inquiry is adj
dressed. The new Constitution of
Pennsylvania provides heavy PEN
atty against corporations who issue
passes to public men, and it is sus-
pected that the West street firm is
fishing for bait to catch the Erie Com
pany.-[N. Y. Herald.

decreases the price of the freight.
Now, sir, we contend that in order
that the road may run at q profit it
must take the maximum rate as fixed
by this bill. Doing so, it will dis
criminate directly against the farmers,

Bismarck on Cosmopolitan SchouIs.

As a contribution to the discussion
now agitating San Francisco and
many other cities, in reference to the
propriety of teaching foreign languages
i'm our American schools, we submit
the opinion of Bismarck. Our Ger
man friends, at least, will consider
this very high authority
"The Burgomaster of Strasburg re-
Gently addressed letter to Prince Bis
marck, in the name of the Municipal
Council, requesting that the French
tongue might be regularly taught in
the elementary schools of the city, to-
gether with the German. The chief
ground Of the alleged necessity for
maintaining a general knowledge of
the French among the Strasburgers is
the commercial intercourse of the
place with France, which its situation
entails. The Chancellor has answered
the petitioners, under his own hand,
with IL very decided negative, declar-
ing that while he does Justice to the
motives of their proposal, he cannot
regard such Il measure as the use of
two tonguei as applicable to the work
ofprimary teaching. 1t is much better,
in his view, Prince Bismarck goes on
to say, that the children should be
Thoroughly taught in one, for it a0ould
DC OFT Of all experience that they
could possibly learn both so conf
ptetety as to be to their otDn oclpd,atdge.
AS to the classes of inhabitants of
Strasburg to whom the French tongue
is OF real Importance in the way of
business, there are abundant opportu-
mites of acquiring it in private estab-
lishments Of a higher grade, and such
persons would rarely lack the means
to send their children to these better
places of education. So far as is
known, Prince Bismarck sarcastically
concludes, on the other side of the
frontier the German tongue is never
