Business Enterprise.

AS an evidence Of the business activ-
ity and the general go-a-headativeness
of the people of this valley, we may
mention that of the one hundred
shares of the Cucamongo Homestead
Association stock, offered for sale at
five hundred dollars each, all have
been taken, and the managers are in
daily receipt of orders for more, which
of course they cannot, at present, fill.
The stock of the Cooperative Nursery
and Fruit Growing Association was
all taken some days ago, and as much
more could be sold at the same rates.
Other legitimate enterprises meet
with like success. Nearly one hundred
thousand dollars worth of stock in the
Los Angeles and Independence Rail-
road is already subscribed. This has
all been done in this city and vicinity.
A thorough canvassing of the county
will increase the amount to three or
four hundred thousand dollars. Ar
rangements are completed for COM
mencing work on the TruXton Rail-
road during the first days of next
month. The Grange Cooperative
Store will soon be open, and half a
dozen other enterprises are assuming
shape. All these facts afford satisfac.
tory evidence that our community is
wide-awake and fully alive to the inn
portance of moving with and, if posi-
BILE, little ahead of the rest of the
world. The old stereotyped story that
Los Angeles is fifteen years behind
other Pacific coast cities will no longer
suffice. We are behind no place in
the State in enterprise and business
activity

CHICAGO, June ga Tuscumbia,
Alabama, special says that Congress
man j. ii. Sloss, of that district, re-
turned home on Friday last. Next
day he learned that George +. Long,
a discarded sutton of his daughter,
had been slandering her. Aiming
himself with a double-barrel shotgun,
he secreteu himself in n room over
Warren's store, and as Long passed on
the opposite side of the street fired
both barrels, loaded with buckshot, at
him; four going through his neck, an
other lodging in the head and two in
the abdomen. Sloss surrendered HIM
self to the Sheriff. Last night Long
was believed to be dying.
How the Money il Made.
CHICAGO, June 29.--A Washington
special says Supervising Architect
Mullett gave the contract for granite
for the Cincinnati Custom House, to
the Balm Granite Company, atseventy-
nine cents per foot, or less than it
would take to transport it from the
quarry TO Cincinnati. The mystery
attached to such singular contract,
has, it appears, been solved by the
discovery that by an agreement with
Mullett, the granite company are
also to have the cutting of the stone
on the following conditions: The COM
pany to furnish yard room, and Gov
eminent men, and pay all expenses,
and the granite company to have 10
per cent. of entire cost. BY this ar
rangement the granite company can
afford to give stone for nothing and
still clear one dollar foot on cutting.

A Necessity Of the Day.

The certainty that the Southern Pa
cific road will not be completed to this
city within the next two or three
wears should stimulate the citizens of
our valley to the performance of great
efforts on behalf of the Los Angeles
and Independence Railroad. 1t is al
most certain that by water will be our
only means of rapid communication
with San Francisco for some time to
come, and this knowledge should be suf-
ficient incentive to our people to secure
as much of the trade of the interior as
possible. One of the most important
steps that can be taken in this direc-
ton is the building of the road in
question. 1t will prevent the connec-
ton of the freighting business of Inyo
county with the railroad in the head
of the San Joaquin Valley, and once
this freight reaches and leaves the
water at Wilmington and Truxton, it
will continue to travel that route for
all time to come. The crude bullion
coming out of Inyo county already
foots up many tons per month, and
the freight going into that section is
considerable. Both will increase year
by year as the mines now open are
more extensively operated and others
are opened and developed. We have
shown in previous articles that the
first section of the road would prove
an immense annual saving to the peo-
pie of San Bernardino county-reduc-
ing the cost of their freight at least
one-half. We are also assured by
well-informed parties that less than
seventy-five miles of track will COM
plete the road to the bend of the Mo-
have--a point to which all of Inyo
county's freight would at once be
turned. Thus all the trade would be
secured for the road when less than
half the track is laid. 1t is time our
people began to act in this enterprise.
Talk is all very well at the commence
ment, but action is essential to sue

Congressman LuttreIl.

Early in the session we warned sew
eral journals in this State that their
false charges and malicious attacks on
Congressman LUTTRELL would not
injure him. We assured them that
SANDER and calumny were powerless
weaponsin an attempt to kill off an
honest man. Later in the session we
pointed to the fact that Mr.. LUTTRELL
was doing all that an earnest hard
working man could do to redeem his
pledges made to the people during
the campaign, which closed with his
election, and we then stated and now
repeat the attacks of the Alta and
Record and one or two papers of like
ilk made upon LUTTRELL so far from
injuring him really tended to make
him more popular with the people.
Congress has adjourned and Mr.. LUT-
TRELL returns to his constituents with
the consciousness that though he has
accomplished no great positive good,
his services have been invaluable in a
negative sense. He can say, and the
people will sustain the assertion, that
he has prevented much, if he has ac-
complished little; that while he could
not force the investigation of frauds al
ready committed he has prevented
the Inauguration of schemes for the
consummation of new and equally
gigantic frauds. He comes home a
popular man, and the result of the
mean, unwarranted attacks made upon
him by the tools of those rascalities
he has frustrated is the prominent
mention of his name as the Independ-
ent candidate for Governor. If, as we
have no doubt he will, he should prove
as faithful a Governor as he has a
Congressman, We might have a worse
Chief Executive.

Revival of an Old Scandal.

In the absence of anything more eX-
citing, the people of Brooklyn have
SS5evived the old BEEcHER-TILTON
scandal, and the last named gentle
man has just published seven-col-
umn article in defense of himself. At
this distance from the scene of action,
and regarding the contending factions
much as did the woman the struggle
between her husband and the bear, we
are constrained to the opinion that no
beneficial results, not even a moral
lesson may be hoped for from a re-
vival of the controversy. The good
and wise men assembled from all
quarters of the nation, some time ago,
and with bated breath and pinched
nose looked at the matter. They
lifted the veil and the odor which rose
like incense in strength and unlike it
in fragrance, soon convinced them
that there are things that to stir up
only makes them more unpleasant,
and that this was one of them. They
left it as they found it, and departed
with the hope that the Lethean
stream might soon hide what they
could not stand the smell of, and what
they thought would not bear the
light. BEECHER and TILToN were
eccnciled-kissed and made friends
and there the play should have ended.
Why should Mrs. Grundy ministers,
and meddlesome sisters be permitted
to drag this thing from its grave :?
Why should TILToN so yield to their
influence as to attempt to explain. an
affair that cannot be explained? Why
should he sacrifice his own wife and
publish the following which he says is
an extract from a document signed by
BEECHER:
BROOKLYN, January /, 1874.
/ ask Theodore Tilton's forgiveness, and
humble myself before him as am before my
my circumstances than have been. 1 car
ask nothing, except that he will remember
ali the other breasts that would ache. will
not plead for myself-even wish that were
dead. lSigned,)

Death of Marshal COncha.

MADRID, June 2S.-The dispatches
received by the Government this
morning convey the startling intelli-
gence that Marshal Concha was killed
yesterday in an attack on the Carlist
intrenchment at Mario, near Estella.
When the MarshaPs forces learned of
the death of their commander, they
returned to their former posts without
disorder, leaving no trophy in the
hands of the enemy. The command
of the Republican army will now be
taken by General Seabula, President
of the Council and Minister of War.
Senior Catoner will succeed General
Seabula as Minister of War, and
Senior Sagasta, Minister of Interior, be-
comes President of the Council

Journalistic Influence.

A small San Francisco paper-small
in every way except the inordinate
conceit of its editor-the Post, prates
loudly about its large circulation, and
claims that through its circulation it
yields mighty influence. We do
not dispute considerable circulation,
we know what it is, how it is obtained
and how maintained, but the infu-
ence part is q falsehood by implica-
ton, which amounts to fiat one of
those things that little Sunday-school
boys afe taught not to tell. Circula-
tion-a forced circulation procured for
a consideration and maintained as a
donation-does not guarantee influ-
ence. If it did the Post and Chronicle
would be what every body knows they
are not-influential papers. 1t is the
moral status of newspaper, not the
number of copies that it gives away,
that makes journal of influence.
The consciousness the reader feels
that the paper is honest; that it advo-
Gates what it believes is right; that it
is not the tool of clique or individ-
ual; that its statements need not be
verified from other sources before they
can be believed, that gives paper in
fluence. No one believes word they
read in the Post or Chronicle until
they have read it in some other paper.
The Examiner, which neither boasts
of its circulation, nor of the ability or
honesty of its editors, has more real
influence, because more honest, than
both those papers despite their boosted
circulation. The Sacramento Union
Yields greater influence in this State
than would twenty Posts and twenty
Chronicles with twenty times their
circulation. There are dozen Cali
fornia newspapers, published outside
of San Francisco, each one of which
has greater influence than either the
Post or Chronicle. Circulation will
not give a journal influence. 1t must
have brains, and honesty, and suffi-
cient responsibility, to command the
respect of those who read it-qualities
which the Post and Chronicle do not,
and, until there are several funerals,
never will have.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 29.-John Z.
Fitzpatrick, indicted with J. G. Cor
bett for the murder of James Fleming,
on Howard street, about two months
since, was examined by the Commits
siOners of Lunacy this afternoon. He
was declared insane, and committed
by Judge Sharpstein to the asylum at

THE Pacific Mail Steamship Com
pany do not seem to be aware of the
fact, but it is nevertheless true, that
the successful carrying out of the pro-
position to build a railroad from this
city to Independence is a matter of
very great Importance to them. The
great freight trade of Inyo county will
not always be hauled to and from Los
Angeles by mule teams. If it is not
transported by railroad from this city,
it will be moved on a railroad connect
ing with the road now built in the San
Joaquin valley. 1t this should trans
pire, the steamship company will
never move a pound of Cerro Gordo
bullion nor of Independence freight.
The railroad from Los Angeles is what
the steamship company wants, and
they should help to build it.

THE conclusion of the Council to
submit the proposition to issue the
bonds authorized by special Act of the
Legislature, for the establishment and
maintenance of public library in the
city to a vote of the people, is perhaps
as good plan as could have been
agreed upon. 1t will delay much to
be desired improvement several
months, as the wish of our citizens
cannot be expressed until the munich
pal election which takes place in De-
cember, but as there does not appear
to be complete unanimity in the Coun-
Gil, on the subject, let the voters de-
eide the issue. That the majority in
favor of the library will be very large
no one doubts. The people are almost
unanimous on that point.
