ANOTHER IMPORTANT PROJECT.

A meeting of vital Importance to
the city and county was held last
night at Temple g. Workman's Bank.
A company was formed with capital
stock of $5OO,000 for the purpose Of
building q railway from this city to a
point on the Pacific Ocean, near the
salt works on the Centinela Rancho.
The following officers were elected,
viz: F. P. f. Temple, President; f, p
Howard, Vice President;J. s. .Slauson,
Treasurer. Directors-Gep. Shields,
D. Freeman, o. w. Childs and J. NJ.

The point selected for the terminus
Of the road aud where a wharf and
storehouse will be built, is well shell
tered from South and Southwest gales
by San Pedro point and Santa Cata-
linaIslapd and from the North gales
by Point Duma. This point is in the
direct line of steamers up and down
the coast. At a distance of five hum
dred feet from the beach thirty feet
of wateris found. The landing will
be four miles nearer town than the
proposed "Shoo Fly'i Landing, and
being in the direct line Of ocean coast
travel has an advantage over HShoo
Flyu of about seven miles in sailing
distance. Work will be commenced
at once and the enterprise pushed to 9
successful Termination. The fact that
the city and county Of Los Angeles
pay over 500, 900 per annum for light
s.erage at Wilmington, and that pas
sepgers coming to Our city pay yearly
nearly as much More, all Of which
would be saved If a good and commo
,adious wharf were built ut the point in
dictated, proves that the proposed rail raii
way wodId not only be d boon to th'
county but a source of profit to TIN
public spirited men who will bnilt
the, road. 1--WE hope that all our elti
zensowill aid this good work by takinl
stock and assisting the company u

Organizations and Rings.

EDITOR HERALD: Your article of
the Sth instant OH Organizations,
Unions and Rings" is timely, truth
full and very suggestive. You cor
rectly say at is a popularity of mod
ern organizations to bind men and un-
dermine their liuerties," The verifi-
cation of this truth is witnessed In all
the strikes in Europe and America.
The individual manhood and liberty
of each member are bound by ties
which they dare not sever, and per
consequence their substance Is con-
sumed and their families brought to
degradation and ruin. Aoa 20
AS YOU TRUTHFULLY REMARKED,
"These modern unions are formed upon
the principles of selfishness.n A con-
suming cupidity is at the foundation of
all of them, "and all they that take
the sword shall perish by the sword, )"
is no less true than all they who enter
such organizations for selfish purposes
shall be consumed of their own GU
pidity. oe. Fl.
1t is remarkable that with the null
tipled evidences of this truth, sober,
sensible men will continue to join and
lend their influence to such unions.
The hard times and sufferings among
the laboring people both in Europe and
America, is mainly due to strikes of the
Iaborers, and these strikes could not
nor would not be continued one hour
without the "binding" principles OF
those organizations. 31a1o9
THOUSANDS OF SENSIBLE MEN
See the impropriety and rninous eff
fects of the strike, and would fain be
free, but alas, it is too late; their liber-

but they were all deserted for the
Winter. We stopped at one and
found a cat, very tame one. She
followed us for q long way, as she did
not like to stay alone, but seeing some
birds she left us and went for
them. Thus far we found
very little snow but 1t was
quite cold and we stopped at an empty
cabin and made a rousing fire and
warmed ourselves. We next came to
an Indian cam D, where we paused to
look at two old squaws make bread of
acorns. They first grind the acorns
and place them in n followed place in
the ground, lined with clean sand.
Then they heat water in primitive
manner and pour it into the acorn
flour and make sort of dough. When
this is dried in the sun, the sand is
scraped Off and it is considered fit for
the noble Digger. We also saw pile
of roots which looked and tasted like
mushrooms, which the Indians seem
to like very much. We were told by
a ranchman that these roots would
intoXicate. 1t would be impossible to
tell the age of these squaws. They
were so wrinkled and crooked
they might be hundred years old.
The men stood in and around the huts
as the women worked. The huts were
formed of poles and logs piled in
circle, with the ends meeting at the
top, like Il tent. In one of these were
near a dozen young Indians, and we
were greatly amused with their antics.
They were so shy we could scarcely
coax them to show their heads. We
threw "bitn among them and one
little fellow lodged after it and quickly
covered himself up again. Upon our
pretending that we had gone, the
dozen little Indians would quietly and
slowly poke their heads out, but cover
them in hurry when they saw us.
In the next wigwan was an old squaw
who sat over the fire and seemed to be
dreaming the time away. Perhaps
she dreampt of the time when her
people roamed over these grand noun
tains among the pines in all their
glory, such as 1t was. ! he site of this
Indian camp was the finest on the
way to Yosemite, much in contrast
to the building places of the whites,
which are OH low lands and in ravines.
Leaving this camp, we follow creek
up among pines six and eight feet
through and 200 feet high, but with
the mountains towering up far above
them. Next we came to u saw mill,
with immense piles of lumber and
logs. We saw the heavy trails made
in getting the logs and the oxen used
at the mill. Here it began to snow
little, but we were warm and not
tired. We stopped at an Italians
that night and had good fare, to our
surprise.
The rest of my notes will give in
my next. f,. READY.

ties ore gone, and they must now suf-
fer for their folly. They are bound
with the multitude, who without con-
sideration, rush headlong to ruin.
Being q laboring man myself, am
in association with many of the mem
bers of these unions, and / know how
they deplore their condition, but they
are helpless.
The folly of these organiZatins Is so
apparent to all thinking men, that |
have thought much about it, and
wondered if we were not on the eve of
tha great moral revolution that must
some day sweep like q mighty wave
over
THE WHOLE EARTH.
1t is called in Scripture great har-
vest, and is to occur at "the con-
summation of the age" and is men
toned, Mathew XIII, so: ain the
time of harvest will say to the reap
ers gather together first the tares and
bind them in bundles to burn them.
All educated biblical students know,
that the phrase "end of the world"
which occurs in this parable
means consummated age of the
church, which was to take place at
the second coming of Christ. When
we look at the manifold schemes and
mischievous rings and how society
has multiplied and increased the
power of these unions and corpora
tions, and how the
FAIR IS BOUND UP WITH THE FOUL
And sinister and evil-minded, and all
burning with consuming cupidity

ready to say, the fields are already
ripe unto the harvest. TO all Except
fanatics, who are gazing up into the
natural skies to see the Lord coming
among vapory clouds) it must GER
tainly seem plain that the great
changes declared in the Gospels are
now transpiring before us.
THE SPIRITUAL WORLD
Is now pressing urgently upon us,
which is manifested by the conduct of
fanatical erratic men, as well as from
evil spirits from beneath; and in their
mad rush they really seem to take
the Kingdom of Heaven by force" 1t
does, indeed, appear " now is the
judgment of this world" The great
wrestle, tumult and strife of the i'll
habitants of the earth, all burning
with the fires of selfishness, intensi-
fled by the desire for gain, all organ
lied in bundles ready to be consumed.
The subject is too vast and too sug-
gestive for one brief article. We do
not pretend to clearly define or fore
shadow coming events, but that
greater catastrophes will soon follow
seems highly probable.

for them 10 purchase passages to San Francisco,

libel, and for such further relief as justice and law
may require" 1t appeared at the hearing that = 1t
is more than likely lin the words OF the MASTERY
that the vessel will go to New Bedford" The
United States law requires that where a seaman is
discharged from a wbaleship in a foreign port. the
ship must pay into the Consulate sixty dollars for
each seaman. The Court in declining TO Interfere.
said III the ship was about to proceed TO New
Bedford and take these men with her, their con-
tract to the contrary Notwithstanding, and the
United States Consul would not Interfere to dis
charge the men, and thereby prevent 50 great a
wrong-a thing which is in itself indispensable and
which certainly Is not presented In this case,
the Court would interfere in favor Of the subjects
of a friendly power.
But IL is certain that Ii is no part of the duty Of
this Court to interfere to prevent the Consul from
doing his duty, or to assist the United States citi-
zens to evade the force of the laws of their own
country" -
