Currish Assemblages.

One of the peculiarities of our Com
mon Council is the passage of ordi-
nances which no one obeys and which
no one takes the trouble to enforce.
We have dog law, which provides
that untagged dogs found in the streets
shall be impounded. There are few
less than a million dogs in the city
without owners, masters or tags, yet
no effort is made to curtail the number
of midnight howlers. The fault is not
the pound-master's, if we happen to
have such ~an officer. The Council
have resolved that such a thing shall
be done, without providing the means
for doing it. They have not provided
dog-pound, and the dogs bark at the
dog ordinance. The plaza is bowling
wilderness. Every night the mongrels,
puppies, whelps, and hounds and ours
of low degree, assemble on that arid
spot and howl defiance at the City
Council from dewy eve to early morn.
These assemblies are cosmopolitan in
character and loud in tone. The lead
ers are apparently selected with a view
to their yelping qualities, and the OBJ
ject Of the meeting seems to be to yell
into the ears of passing Councilmen
the axiom that you must catch your
cur before you can hang him.

Miss Fannie Marston This Eveninq.

The first of the three concerts at
which Miss Fannie Marston is engaged
to appearinTurner Hall, will take place
this evening. Miss Marston's reputa-
tion is so wide spread as singer and
she is so we'll known as the finest vo-
calist of the Pacific coast, that we need
say little i'll her praise this morning.
She will appear in Los Angeles for the
first time this evening, but she has
ch armed auditors III every other town
of note in the State. Ii is great deal
to Miss Marston's credit and speaks
volumes for her as an artist of rare tai
ent and finished culture that wherever
she has appeared, whether i'll San
Francisco or a small interior town,
she wins the applause Of all and re-
ceives the most favorable notices from
the press. Miss Marston is not one of
those natural IN musical prodigies about
which we read occasionally. Nature
provided her with good voice and
the will to persevere in the task Of
making herself the wonderful singer
she now is. How long and dilligent-
ly she labored we leave those who
have attained the high position she
now occupies to answer That she is
the first vocalist in our State
is conceded by the San Francisco
critics. The lovers of melody will not
fail to hear Miss Marston this evening,
and hearing her this evening they will
hear her each evening of her engage
ment. Among the songs she will sing
on her first appearance are "Grand
Scene from Cavatina, "Comin' Thro'
the Rye" "The Last Rose of Sum
mer," and 1.-The Red, White and
Blue" Professors Havell and Faulk-
ner will give piano Duets, and Prof.
Havell will sing a number of his comic
songs in the manner so peculiarly his
own. Mr.. Frank Morse and Miss
Marston will sing number of Duets
Altogether we anticipate an entertain
ment such as our music-lovers have
rarely had an opportunity of enioying.

THE Express, either through ignor-
ance or malice aforethought, declines
to avail itself of the opportunity we
offered it of escaping conviction of
falsely and maliciously assailing Mr..
BEAUDRY, and last evening, in the
wild frenzy which always overcomes a
Spanish bull at the sight of red
shirt, reiterates series of charges
which the records of the Council show
to be false in every particular Well,
whom the gods wish to destroy, they
first make mad, and from the present
delirium of the Erpress, we conclude
that the gods, or the gentleman who
presides over the domain where they
give away birthstone and throw in
fire to burn it, have decided to make
the concern break its own neck in a
time so short that there will be no
opportunity to pray forgiveness for its
many wicked falsehoods. t.,sl

Tobacco Culture.

Mr.. THOMAS PERKINS, an old resi-
dent of Virginia, but now living at
Azusa, in this county, called at the
HERALD office the other day and gave
us some valuable information relative
to the tobacco interest of Los Angeles
valley. Mr.. PERKINS has spent the
greater portion of his life in the grow
ing and curing of tobacco, and as he
has experimental to q considerable
extent in the growth and cultivation
of the weed here, his opinions and
suggestions are both timely and val
liable. He is of the opinion that this
portion of the State is capable of
growing an article of tobacco equal to
the best Virginia, and that It, will
produce such an article when men of
experience and capital turn their at
tention to the business. Our, soil and
climate is well adapted to the growth
of this great commercial commodity,
and in few years the tobacco product
of this valley will be one of its sta
Piles. The old curing process will ulti-
mately prove the best. Experienced
producers will avoid the royalty on
patent processes and at the same time
throw superior article on the mar
ket. Mr.. PERKINS is confident that a
factory which will manufacture the
product of this valley into smoking
and chewing tobacco will prove pro-
fitable investment and believes we
shall have such factory here within
q short time
Los Angeles daily herald., 1874-10-06
The Validity of Contracts.

The correspondent who writes for
information on the validity of con-
tracts in general, and that between the
City and Water Company in particu-
lar, submits series of questions which
to answer correctly would fill small
volume. The validity of a contract is
strengthened or impaired by the action
of the parties to it. The exact per-
formance of its conditions are as essen
tial to its existence as the good faith
of the persons pledging themselves to
obey its stipulations. In the particu-
lar case referred to, there exists not
the slightest contract, and in making
this assertion, we have no reference
whatever to the recent decision of the
Supreme Court that the Constitution
especially prohibited the granting of
exclusive franchises, but to the fact
that failures-many and repeated
on the part of the Los Angeles Water
Company to redeem its pledges to the
city, have long since nullifed the
agreement and released the city from
all obligations and conditions
specified in that contract. The
correctness of this position may
be sustained without resort to
theoretical illustration or going out
side of the case under consideration.
The Water Company claim that the
city cannot grant the right to others
to convey water within the corporate
limits, because she gave them the ex-
elusive water right for given number
of years. One of the considerations
on which this right was granted was
the payment to the city by the Water
Company of s., 800 per annum. But
very soon after the completion of the
contract the Water Company procured
reduction of that consideration from
$1,000 to $780, No matter what
amount of specious argument may be
urged in justification of this reduction,
it cannot change the result-the con-
tract is broken and the Water Com
pany have broken 1t. It'll urged that
the city government consented to this
change in the original contract. Very
true; and the city government also
consented to the agreement which
gave a gentleman not member of the
Water Company the right to convey
water over the hill lands of the city.
There are a number of other instances
wherein the Water Company has
failed to comply with the
agreement, but the single charge
by which the company avoided
the redemption of pledge to pay the
city $500 per annum as effectually
destroyed the original contract as If it
had never existed. Happily the Su-
preme Court has rendered settlement
OF the question on this issue entirely
unnecessary by deciding that an ex-
elusive franchise is thing that can
exist only in name. But it is a fact
we'll understood by all legal minds
that the assumed contract between
the city and the Water Company was
annulled long ago by the individual
act of the Water Company which
failed not one but several times to per-
form some portion of their part of the
compact.
