And in the soit and mellow light.
YOu tread the lane our footsteps knew
In former days, when days were bright;
DO these days bring such sweet delight

With fragrant flowers the banks are fair;
In golden gloss aud silver sheen,
The bees still haunt the balmy air;
But YOU will fail 10 fnd me there.

SarQent's Land Bill.

One of the most important matters
pending in Congress is Sargents Bill
to hand over to the Central Pacific
Railroad Company the title to all the
Swamp Lands in California, not al
ready vested in the State. II Sar-
gents Bill becomes law, the Gen.
trail Pacific Railroad Company will
take in fee, without paying one cent
for it, all the real and constructive
swamp lands in the State, that hap
pen to be within twenty miles OF any
line of their railroads.
The Legislature seems to be trying
in feeble way to defeat Sargent's Bill,
by passing resolutions of obstruction"
to Senators, and requests to Repre-
sentatives in Congress to vote against
this magnificent scheme of plumber.
But in the face Of these proceedings,
the Legislature, with all its professions
of reform, is playing consciously or
nnconsciously into the hands of the
great monopoly.
The Legislature knows, or ought to
know, that these lands have been
granted to and absolutely belong to
the State, and that to the State, and
not to Congress, belongs the right to
dispose of them. 1t should assert this
right instead of begging of Congress
to forego its intentions. The clap-trap
that these lands are going into the
hands of spectators is hardly worthy
ofattention.
The Legislature can take the neces-
sary steps to prevent their being abb
sorbed by spectators, and we cannot
see that giving UP the right to them
and allowing Congress to grant them
over to the railroad company would
mend the matter, even if the Legisla-
ture is too imbecile to protect the
State from the Vaccinations of specu-
hating land-grabbers.

THEtelegraphic dispatches make cas-
ual allusion to a Legislative investiga-
ton, now progressing, of the financial
affairs Of the State University. But
there seems to be a studied purpose to
keep back the facts, or even an intelli-
BILE allusion to them. The truth is, that
the magnificent endowment of the
University made by the State, and the
vast funds appropriated by law for the
buildings, and placed in the hands of
the Board of Regents, have been used
in a flagrantly corrupt manner by the
Building Committee of the Board of
Regents. But, because the Board is
composed of rich and powerful men,
and controls vast sum of public
money, the Legislative Committee,
and the press, and the telegraph, and
all, appear determined to cover up
rather than to expose a gross public
wrong. We apprehend, however, that
the present Legislature will ascertain
the facts, if not by one committee,
then by another, and deal with the
delinquents so far as delinquents in
high places can be dealt with.

Independence.

While respecting many of the MEM
bers of the Directors of the Chamber
of Commerce We can but regret their
arrogant assumption of the right to
dictate to the HERALD what it shall
and what it shall not advocate in its
columns. The HERALD was estab-
lished in no mans interest, with no
purpose in view other than to accom-
plish the most possible for the COM
munity in which it lives. 1t cares not
whom it censures nor whom itpraises.
1t held that it was the imperative duty
of an honest paper to censure the
wrong wherever it is to be found.
This course, we regret to say, has not
met with the appreciation of that
coterie Of arristocrats who form the
majority of the Directors of the Los
Angeles Chamber of Commerce. They
are unwilling to even license any paper
that does not wear u collar, and writ
ten upon that collar some such phrase
as this, "My dog, DIR. Griffin" or MY
dogn with the name OF some other
prominent member of some other
prominent ring. One member says,
"Be independent, and honest, but let
my little project alone;" another says,
"Be public spirited, and honest; but
advocate my cause and let the cause of
the people take care of itself"
No! If the Chamber of Commerce
or any of its members thought that
by the subscription of 800 copies at $50
Der quarter the HERALD could be en-
ployed to do the dirty work of any and
all it's members, they were mistaken
and have now found out their mistake.
1t would not advocate the interest of
this swindle because one of its stock
holders was member of the Chamber
of Commerce, nor that swindle lest
otherwise the personal enmity of
member of the Chamber of Commerce
should be stirred up.
Now, if any member of the Cham
Der think that it has accomplished a
great deed by this little act of last
night, the voice Of the people, whom
we represent and who are their basis,
will speak in louder terms than can
we. We ask no subsidy; we accept no
subsidy. But the great body of intel
ligent people, those whom certain
members of the Chamber, who have
acquired their wealth by little less
than legitimate robbery, have swim
died, will see that We have our just
rinhfs

THE United States Senate seems to
be as implacable and as unreasonable
now as in the days of Andrew john
son. When President Grant, under
the pressure Of sufficiently potent in
fiuence, appointed Geo. H. Williams,
man VIGOROUSLY unfit for any place
involving personal honor or official
integrity, to the position Of Chief JUS
tice of the United States, the Senate,
in mere stubborn mood, without pas
sing upon the qualifications, mental,
moral, legal, or partisan, of Mr.. Will
liams, forced the President to with
draw his name. Then the President,
springing from one of the very worst to
one of the vsry best = il not the the
Uery best - men In the nation for the
position, named Caleb Cushing for
Chief Justice of the United States.
The same Senate or rather a caucus
of the dominant party in it-under the
same stubborn or partisan, or worse
impulse, refused to confirm the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Cushing, and assigned
no other reason for the refusal than
the circumstance that, some years
ago Mr.. Cushing saw fit, in note to
Jefferson Davis to vouch for the per-
sonal honor and capacity of young
NAN who had been employed in an
official capacity In Mr.. Cushing's Of
flee. The Senate seems determined to
make Grant recognize the supremacy
of the Legislative over the Executive
Department as emphatically as it did
in the case of Mr.. Johnson.

The Library.

1t seems that the Library AssOcia-
ton have abandoned, for the present
at least, the idea of forming a Joint
Stock Association for the purpose OF
erecting building for Public Hall
and Library Rooms. They have
consulted with many of the leading
merchants and business men of the
city, and do not meet with the en-
enlargement that would induce them
to proceed with the enterprise. 1t is
now proposed to secure the necessary
legislation to authorize the levy of q
tax of one mill on the dollar, for the
purpose. of putting the Library OH a
sound basis, and making it free to the
public. We are heartily in favor OF
this plan. A good public library
would be great benefit; it would as a
public educator equal high school,
and in proportion to its cost, exert
conservative effect on the morals OF
the city, greater than any other agen-
cy that can be devised. Such an insti-
tuition is in fact public necessity, and
in city as much resorted to by
reading people as Los Angeles, no
great time should be permitted to
elapse before it is established.
1t is no new thing to raise money
for such purpose. The State of Hill
nois has provided by general law,
that any municipality by a vote of its
citizens, may levy taxes to establish
and maintain public library, and nu-
merous creditable institutions of that
character reflect credit on the State,
and attest the wisdom of the law.
The amount of the tax proposed is
insignificant, and yet it will produce
yearly sum of about $500, sufficient
to soon stock our Library with valua-
BILE books and papers. If the tax were
once voted, and the assurance thus
given that the Library is placed be-
yond the sport of circumstances, there
will be no difficulty in securing the
means to put up suitable building,
for its accommodation.

that he intended to resign, the Union
says: 1--WE assure the public, on the
best authority, that there is no truth
in the above statement. If Governor
Booth resigns his present office at all
it will not be done this year at any
rate, and certainly not for the purpose
of swinging around the circle to
secure the presidential nomination.

4 Bad Mvvem ent.

Senator Bush of Los Angeles yester-
day presented petition from that
town and county, praying this Legis-
lature to pass an act to authorize Los
Angeles city to issue bonds for the
purpose of building depot and work
shops for the Southern Pacific Rail-
road Company. This is simply the in
PRODUCTION Of an old face under new
mask - subsidy to a private railway
corporation in new form. The Legis-
lature has just condemned the prin-
ciple in both houses, in the repeal of
the five per cent act, and they should
not now 20 back on that vote by en-
Pertaining such proposition as this.
It is true they only ask for the small
sum Of $4,000, but let that much be
conceded against the anti-subsidy prin-
ciple, and it will not be long till it
shall see the evil revived in worse
form than ever.-[Sac. Union.
An entirely erroneous impression is
gathered from the above. The bill
simply carries out a contract which
has already been made, and takes a
burden from q few citizens who in q
public spirited way have assumed it.
Opposed to subsidy on general prln-
ciples, we can but deem it the duty of
the Legislature to pass the bill men
toned.
Among the inducements offered to
the Southern Pacific Railroad to do the
work which has already been done in
Los Angeles was that of depot and
grounds. The city could not vote
these without legislative permission,
so few citizens put themselves into
the task they assumed the respon-
sibility, and made themselves person.
ally trouble. The work has been done,
and now it is but fitting that the city
shall relieve its bondsmen of the bur-
den which is above them. The bill
does not ask to substitute railroad for
work which is yet to be performed, but
it asks that it be permitted to fill OBJ
legations already accrued.
