The Howard Association embezzle-
ment matter, wherein the Secretary,
Mr.. Remand, was charged with the crime,
closed before Esquire Spelman on Sat
urday evening. There was no direct
testimony in the case, and the circum-
stantial evidence amounted to nothing,
except a clear case of jealousy on the
part of Mrs. Remand. The Justice
placed Mr.. Renaud under $4,000 bond,
which was given at once, and the de-
PENDANT was set at liberty. Mrs. Renaud
could not be witness either for or
against her husband, and wrote letter
to the court retracting her former state
ments, and expressing her sorrow for
the part she had taken in the matter,
giving the green-eyed monster as an ex-
cuse. The investigation did not pan
out successfully. What to do with the
$1,000 returned to the Towards by Mrs.
Renaud is the conundrum.

COTTON ExcHASeE-oPFIcIAI QUOTATIONS:
The market this morning was weak
and heavy, with prices lower and irreg-
plar. New York was reported very dull
and depressed; for spot cOttons, mid

depression of the New York and Liver
pool markets had a corresponding effect
on the market here, though there was
an active demand. There was wide
difference between the views of buyers
and sellers. Offerings were freely made
but in most cases holders were holding

AtlI o'clock last night a fire broke
out at the Pamela Oil Works, in the
Navy Yard. A large shed, 40 feet IN
length, in rear of the oil works proper,
contained a cotton.press, four new I'm
tiers. a cotton-screen and shafting, four
bales of cotton, and from three to four
tons of cotton-seed. In this shed were
several Of the employees, and it is sup
posed that the fire originated with them
owing to carelessness in carrying a
light or in striking a match in or near
the lint,room. In few minutes the
flames spread throughout the shed and
burst out from the roof. Captain Miller,
superintendent, saw the blaze and gave
the alarm. II was sometime, however,
before the engines got at work well. The
fremen succeeded in saving the adjoin-
ing sheds and the main building. The
latter. however, owed its safety to TO q
fre-wall, which kept the fire from enter
ing the main building. The loss is esti-
mated by Superintendent Miller'at from
eight to nine thousand dollars. THIS
morning the fire broke out again in the
rims and under the halfconsumed cot
,on-seed. The fremen turned on a
stream from a fre-plug, and kept the
flames down to a smouldering state.

An Act of Cruelty.

Philosopher PICKETT is still in dur
ance vile. His offense was contempt
of court, and the man who ordered
him to prison was Justice WALLACE.
This man PICKETT, whom every resi-
dent of San Francisco and nearly
every old resident of the State knows
personally or by reputation as Phi
losopher PICKETT" is an eccentric
man--so eccentric that one is almost
justified in the conclusion that his
mind is little off balance at times
He is man of more than average
talent and of good heart and kindly
disposition. He has no enemies eX-
cept Justice WALLACE, and he has
many friends. One day his irregu-
larly constructed mind prompted him
to assume the seat of Justice CROCK
EFT and maintain his right to hold it,
until he was forcibly elected by the
officers. For this he was sent to
prison, and for this he still remains in
prison. Judge CROCKETT is a good
and humane man, and it is strange he
does not intercede for PICKETT's re-
lease. It would be a generous thing
for him to do. The majesty of the law
has been vindicated, and certainly the
dignity of the Judge ought to be salts
fled with the long Imprisonment of a
man whose eccentricities have long
marked him as one of strange, almost
unsound, mind. AS for Mr.. Justice
WALLACE, there is nothing to be said
except that should he ever again ask
the people to give him an office, his
cruel and relentless treatment of poor
PICKETT will be remembered against
him to his disgrace and discontinue.

The Presidents Message.

The Presidents Message of which
the readers of the HERALD were pre-
sented with the main features yesrer-
day morning, is a shorter though
much more sensible document than
the presentChief Executive has yeti
before Congress. The views OH the
taxation question are in accordance
with the opinions expressed by the
Secretary of the Treasury, The opin-
ion that the revenue VIII have to be
increased will not meet with general
favor. Increased revenue means in
creased taxation, and the people are
long weary of that load. On, the
whole, the message isa sensible paper,
containing many sound suggestions
on the national finance problem, and
the proposed return to specie pay
ment. The President appears to have
all at once realized the fact that the
great majority of the Chinese who
come to this country are not free
agents coming of their own accord,
but slaves, coolies, brought here by
their owners and used as slaves. This
fact has long been known to the peo-
pie of California, and we are pleased
to know that it has finally reached
the President. That part Of the mes
sage which deprecates the custom of
coercing negro voters in the South
by capitalists is very we'll so far as it
goes, but the President should not
have stopped where he did on this
subject. He should have deprecated
and called on Congress to put stop
to the habit of Federal officers of CO.
ercing not only the colored voters of
the South, but thousands of white
voters in the North. He should have
told how Government navy yards
were stocked with men who could not
hold their situation moment after
refusing to vote the Administration
ticket, and how every employee in a
Federal office is coerced out of his
vote. But GRANT has sent out sem
sible message-an unusually sensible
one for him..

THE MERGED TRAGEDY.
Attempt to Lynch the Murderer, but
He Escapcs-The Mob Become Fran
tic and Sack the argus Office.

MERGED Gals, December 8th.-The
town is llexcitement, in consequence
of the shooting of Edward Madden,
editor of the Tribune, by Harry Gran
ice, yesterday. Last night crowds
gathered on the street, who meant to
deal summarily with the murderer,
but the Sheriff, anticipating the con-
dition of affairs, had removed the
prisoner to Hoffman's Ranch, one
mile from town, in charge of two res
ponsible sub-offlcers. The people
found out that the prisoner had been
removed. About 8 O'Clock informa.
tlon reached them as to his where
abouts. The mob mounted on mus
tangs, went out to his place of conceal
ment and demanded him of the
officers. One of the officers was in
bed with him and had him handcuffed,
one of the cuffs being placed upon his
own person, to guard against any
possible escape. The two got. out of
bed and ran out of doors into the night.
1t seems that the prisoner here made
his escape. Reports are numerous as
to how he made his escape. All the
officers are now in search. The town
10 AbAA VI Ptii wiz nav lIOUl
abroad to learn the particulars of the
tragedy.
Last night the mother of the de-
ceased arrived, and the remains Were
taken to Stockton to-day, where they
Will be inferred in the family lot. A
great many accompanied the cortege
from here.
The crowd went and broke into the
Jail after the prisoner had been re-
moved. They then went to the Argus
Office and upset things generally. The
Office looks like a wreck this morning
1t seems that Steele made bill of sale
Of the property to Wigginton, the
banker here, who held mortgage of
$1,000 on it at the time of the affray.
Madden was universally esteemed.
He was unarmed. Granice is the step
son of Steele, the editor of the Argatsj'
he is young and of little account. He
was instigated by Steele, no doubt.
The citizens waited on Steele last night
and gave him twenty-fours hours to
get out of town. He left Immediately.

The farmers built the Salinas and
Monterey Railroad. They placed their
shoulders to the wheel and all worked
together. They did not find it such
hard or difficult job when all were
united and determined to push the
work to completion. The people of
Los Angeles and San Bernardino
counties should profit by the example
OF the Monterey farmers. The build
ing of the Los Angeles and Independ-
ence Railroad will not be as great or
difficult an undertaking for the people
directly interested as was the Salinas
and Monterey road for the little band
of sturdy Grangers who built it. The
necessity for our road is hundred
times greater than theirs and the value
of our road will be q hundred
times greater than theirs. Our people
can build the much needed rad. All
that is required is unity of action and
a determination to push the work
along.

REPORTS from all parts of the coun-
ty are full of promise. The acreage
which will be seeded this, season will
more than double that of any previous
year since thesettlenlent of the valley.
The amount of small grain we shall
harvest will be largely in excess of
former years, if the crops are as good
as anticipated. If the large wheat
acreage seeded in San Fernando valley
yields u fair crop, of which there is
now no reason for doubt, we shall har-
vest wheat enough next year to sup
ply the home market with -four. Our
adyices are that many thousands OF
acres in this county will be set out in
young trees and vines between now
and the lst of March. The valley is
rapidly filling with people and pros
perity reigns everywhere.

JUST while we are reading in the
Presidents Message that a better
state of feeling exists in the South
and that hostilities between the white
and colored people of that distressed
region appear to have closed, the tele-
graph flashes the news that trouble
exists between the races at Vicksburg
ana In fight twenty negroes were
Killed. This sort of thing is unpleas-
ant to read, but we shall have such
paragraphs until the colored people
learn to regard the Southern people
their old masters-as their truest and
best friends. 1t is stated that in some
portions of the South societies and or
CARNATIONS composed of colored men
are breaking away from the influence
of the carpet7bagger and are seeking
advice and friends among those who
were once their masters and owners.
This is a sensible move. The CARPET
bagger is an adventurer, and he cares
not what difficulties and privations
he imposes on the negro, so he secures

THE Council did not show strong
disposition to consider the petition to
leave the railroad depot where it is at
present located. The petition was re-
ceived and placed on file without dis
cussion. We can see no reason for
changing the opinion expressed in the
HERALD of yesterday morning that it
would be just as we'll to move the
depot as per agreement between the
Council and the railroad representa-
tives some weeks ago. Nothing is
clearer than that new location must
be selected at an early day, and as
that location has been agreed upon
and the railroad company have COM
menced work on their new buildings,
why discontinue an improvement
which, though it may not be abso-
lutely necessary at this time, all ad-
NIT that the time is near at hand
when the demands of commerce will
render the change imperative.
