Our Paper.

1t is with pleasure and no little
pride that we again refer to the i'm
creased circulation, the individual
and public Communication and general
prosperity of the HERALD. Its use
fulness is becoming more and more
manifest, and is acknowledged east
and west The testimony of visitors
calling almost daily, is universal that
the HERALD or HERALD pamphlet
carried to them in their Eastern homes
the pleasing information, the glad
news, the certain proofs that South
ern California possesses advantages
and conyeniences far above our Allan
tic nelghbors or those in the Missis-
sippi Valley, and they have come to
see for themselves, and many Of them
to look out homes for their families.
We know that there are still thous-
ands of good and true men in the
States whose eyes are turned west
ward, reaching these Pacific shores,
anxious to learn more of this land Of
promise, and we want the HERALD to
reach them, freighted with the glad
tidings of our prosperity and happi-
ness, conveying to them and the
world the news of the general pros
perity at the present time of our
Golden State. Our bountiful hafvests,
our immense present and prospective
fruit yield, our prosperous mining and
grazing Interests, the very healthy
condition of our financial, CONNER
cial and business interests and the
general health of our people, based up
on our unrivaled invigorating and
health-inspiring climate; especially
can we report thus of Southern Cali
fornia. Never were brighter pros
poets before US. We feel like again
reminding our business houses and all
tradesmen of the great advantages of
advertising in the HERALD. and aid
ing it's circlation. There is no better
medium of advertising in Southern
California. - si54 lHa N#ele

Thunder. Storms In Alpine County.

3 The Chronicle of July 25th has the
following: son last Tuesday afternoon
a heavy thunder storm-the heaviest
we have witnessed in the mountains
visited this section. Rain fell in
torrents for over two hours, accomp-
panied by the most vivid lightning
and heavy thunder. 1t laid the dust
very effectually, and gave the face of
Nature an invigorating wash, cooling
the atmosphere and making every
thing generally lovely. About noon
to-day we had another very heavy
storm-more severe than the above
with much hail. Our streets for some

A short time ago, mulatto office
holder, in speech delivered at the
Vicksburg Court house, declared that
If he were only bachelor he could
marry some of the leading white ladies
of Vicksi,urg, and advised his hearers
that a colored man wishing to marry
a white lady, if he was opposed by pa
rental interference-the speaker TAX
ing it fer granted that the lady would
be favorably disposed to such u matri-
monial arrangement-would be justi-
fed in making q demand for the lady's

seems to be that it is a master stroke

ADDRESS OF THE STATE CENTRAL CON-
MIrrEE OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY OF
LOUISIANA.
Rocks DEMOCRATIC STATE CENTRAL Committee, !
July Z, 1874.

| hOOMS DENOCRATTC STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE,
July Z, 1874.
The Democratic State Central Committee, in
convoking State Convention of the Democracy
at New Orleans. for the fourth Monday Of Au.
gust, A. D. 1874, appeals with confidence to all
conservative voters, without reference Ito past
political affiliations, to unite In the election of
delegates to this Convention.
This committee is not uumindful that some
may be reluctant to join the ranks of party,
which, in past contests. they have opposed. But
this party is the only national organization now
confronting Radicalism and battling for consti-
tutional principles Principles, in violation of
which this Usurpati0n has been foisted on Louie
lana, and our people subjected to political and
judicial persecution. 20.
Recent discussions among Or people. and a
deep and abiding desire to unite al the elements
opposed to Radicalisnl, admOnish lis not to risk
everything upon our own isolated and unaided
efforts; although, in this emergency, duty prompts
us toexert ourselves as if we were dependent up
on our sole resources.
Issues are forced upon us which we cannot and
do not desire to evadc. But we will meet them
with such determination and energy that we
cannot fail to achieve success.
We do not contemplate interfering with the
constitutional and legal rights of the colorcd
people, but, on the other hand, the Democracy
are determined to uphold aud maintain the
rights Of the white man. The fact stares us in
the face that the negro element has been gradu-
ally, but efiectnally absorbing the Government
Aof Louisiana the logical result of its combined
partisan action, as 4 race; that under the shall
low pretansc Of legislating against class or race
distinctions, the colored Radicals have invaria-
bly, bsen establishing such distinctions in dispar-
agement of the willtes !; and that the tendency OF
Louisiana Radicalism. now thoroughly controlled
by them, is to establish negro supremacy in Lou
isiana.
The incubus Of excessive taxation must be
removed. No taxes should be levied or appro-
pria:ions made, except to carry on the functions
of government honestly and economically ad-
Ininistered; until the taxpayers Of Louisiana
shall have had an opportunity to inquire into
the nature and validity OF the obligations which
have been issued in the name of Government.
Therefore, forgetfnl of past differencessan6
casting from our breasts all heart burnin9s. let
there be cordial unio.. Of all the conservatives
of Louisiana. -
The Democratic party has no senmitics to graf.
ify, and holds out the hand of fellowship to all
those who are disposed to aid us in this crisis
National politics are subordinate in this canvass
The vital issue is redemption from corrupt
State Government and sl0cal msrue.
