THE present Congress will probably
he known hereafter as the Congress of
the thousand and one Investigations.
Everything that the Republicans have
done or failed to do within the last
decade will be looked into and proba-
bly, condemned. The rule that two
wrongs will not make right holds as
good in national legislation as in
neighborhood affairs, ald we doubt if
Congress that Gevotes its time to in
vestigating the transactions of its
predecessors will manufacture more
popularity than by applying itself to
legislating such laws as will be for the
good of the whole country. The Re-
publican party is dead, and let it's
faults, or crimes, if you will, die with
those who committed them. If the
present Congress can profit by the
errors OF those that have gone before,
let the lesson be we'll learned; but the
jackal business is always more pro-
ductive of bones and corruption than
substantial food. F

Railroad to the Water.

The prospects of the Los Angeles
and Pacific Railroad project becoming
something tangible grow brighter day
by day. The Centinela Land Com
pany, through whose lands the road
will run from the point of leaving the
water to the city boundary, are taking
active interest in the road and will
contribute largely to its construction.
To the people of Los Angeles valley
this or some other road to the water
will be worth at least three hundred
thousand dollars per year in a re-
duction on the cost of freight. We
are informed that our freight now
costs nineteen cents per mile per ton
from the anchorage at Wilmington to
this city. This is an enormous tariff
for transporting freight less than
twenty-five miles and while we have
no disposition to dispute the railroad
company's statement that they cannot
afford to carry our freight at less
price, we shall maintain the right of
the people to secure their freight
transportation at less rate, if it can
be done by the construction ofanother
road. One of the great wants of los
Angeles is another road to the water,
and we trust the company above
named will lose no time in supplying
that want. Every consumer should
aid to the uttermost of his ability an
enterprise which will so materially
reduce the cost of supplies.

TIE nomination of S. B. AxTELL,
Governor of Utah, has been confirmed
by the Senate. This is one of the ap-
pointments where the wrong man
gets into the wrong place. Politically
AxTELL has been everything by turns
and nothing long. He first fioated to
the surface as District Attorney of
Amador county in 1S64-5. In 1866 he
located in San Francisco, and in 1867
he, as the Democratic nominee for
Congress- defeated TIMOTHY G..
PHELPS, Republican nominee. In 1868
he was reelected, and his second term
closed on the 4th of March, 1871, since
which time until his nomination as
Governor of Utah, he has been imi-
tating the example of WILKINS
MAcAwBER- waiting for something to
turn up. AS statesman he is fail
ure. DAN WEBsTER's coat fits him
something like pursers shirt would
a lightning rod. AS Governor of Utah
he will make lamentable failure.

THE prospect for early rain is any
thing but favorable, and fears are be-
ginning to be entertained in some
quarters that we shall not have suf-
ficient rain this Winter. tits hardly
time for any serious alarm to be felt
on this score. Some of the most fa-
vorable seasons California has had
have been in years when little or no
rain fell before the middle of January.

abundance of rain within the next two

The Vertical Feed.

This is arranged above the shuttle plate, the
goods resting upon a smooth surface are held
firmly down by the presssr foot until the needle
has penetrated the fabric, at which time the
pressure on the fabric is being transmitted from
the pressure foot to the vertical feed bar (which
comes down on the goods close behind the nee-
dle.) BY means Of bearer connecting the two
and also with the needle-bar, SO that at the
time the needle has reached its lowest point the
full pressure Is transmitted to the feed bar. and
at which time the needle bar and feed bar arc
both moved laterally the desired length Of
stitch. both moving in unison at their highest
aud lowest points. A moments glance at this
novel combination for feed will convince the
reader Of its superiority for the following rea-
sons:
LIST. Tho presser foot is always raised from
the fabric when the feed takes place, thereby
presenting no resistance to seams or ridges
while feeding.
ID. Tho needle being IN tho fabric. moving
with ths verticalfeed bar with its full pressure
on the goods. renders the feed sure and strong.
and the stitch uniform in length.
Sd. The needle being in the goods at the
tins the feed takes place, renders it impossible
to full one i+ieee whila the other is stretched.
4th. The vertical feed bar being behind the
needle renders it capable of sewing elastic
goods, making smooth and flexible seam with
| stitch alike on both sides-thus enabling the
sewing of any number Of thicknesses without
| basting. and operating with equal facility On
! the heaviest as well as the lightest fabrics.
| It is not machine with few selling points,
and otherwise the same as the generality of ma
s ines, but the best machine in the world, with
out any exception. and I court and defy com.
petition, and challenge any Sewing Machine
| Agent in the county TO sew with Davis, and
will give $25 for any machine that will beat the
! Davis and do as large range of work. The
! Davis is the only real practical machine for
hemming bias goods of any kind without bast-
ing, and is especially adapted to dress making
in all its branches. It has taken the highest
premium wherever exhibited in competion with
other machines. 1t took the first premiums at
the Ohio and Vermont State Fairs in 1873.
