What Does it Signify.

This great political revolution has
come upon us like q whirlwind. But
from whence it came and whittier it is
going we know not. Every man you
meet can give you a reason for this
great political change, which is con-
elusive, in his estimation, but of the
hundreds we have listened to, no two
agree. We do not believe it is the
popularity of one party,n nor the unpop-
ularity of the other party that caused
the change. TO sum it up in few
words, it is just this: We are tired
of what we had, and we want some
thing else" That is all there is of it.
We want change and knowing we
could not be damaged by any change
that could be made, we shut our eyes
and bolted it down, like the old Con-
fe derate soldiers used to bolt their
tough beef They did it because there
was nothing better. If the Demo-
cratic party acts upon the supposition
that the popularity of their party
caused the change, the victory will be
fruitless. No, it was not that; the

TIE Evening Express, while pre-
tending to point out the causes which
prevent many people from taking up
their residence in this city, carefully
avoids mentioning that it prevented
many families coming here by pub
fishing false statement to the effect
that the scarletina was an epidemic
in this city. Our little cOtemporary
may find another and very powerful
reason why respectable families
cannot live in certain localities in
this city, by reading communica-
ton under the head of "The Mayor
atty" in another column of this morn
ing's HERALD. The city cannot afford
to indulge the peculiarities of her TIF-
FANIEs, when through them an en-
forcement of the law is withheld and
in consequence fostering nuisance"
maintained,
Los Angeles daily herald., 1874-11-13
About Assessment.

The Express devotes an unusual
amount of time and space to COM
ments OH the circumstance that high
land lots which Mr.. BEAUDRY now
holds at 5000 each We're assessed at $40.
We have shown that the enhanced
value of the property in question is
due to the fact that the Supreme Court
has decided that such a thing as an
exclusive franchise, or the right to
supply water, gas, or anything within
specified limit cannot exist, and that
the property is now supplied with
water. But there is one other point
to which we wish to call the attention
of the Express, which is that as late
as March of this year Mr.. BEAUDRY
purchased number of these lots from
Mr.. MORT "a gentleman far too
shrewd to sell them for less than
what he supposed would be their value
without water-at prices not exceed
ing S2l each. Yet short time after
and before the special water franchise
melted into thin air, those lots were
assessed at $40 apiece. In regard to
the charge that Mr.. BEAUDRY re-
quested that some portions of his as
sessment be reduced, we may say
that the facts seem to warrant his
doing.so, or else justify the Board of
Equalization in raising the assess
ment Of others, as property below the
level of ditch is assessed at $40 per
acre, while land owned by Mr.. BEAU
DRY lying three-fourths of mile
further from the heart of the city and
without water is assessed at $50 per
acre. Portions of the plat assessed at
$50 per acre have lately sold at the
rate of $1,000 per acre, while Mr..
BEAUDRY could not sell that assessed at
$50 peracre for one-fourth that amount.
If the Express will take the trouble to
examine the list it will find that there
is large amount of property in the
city of much greater value than that
owned by Mr.. BEAUDRY assessed at
smaller figure than his.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1874-11-13

THE readers of the HERALD will re-
member that when the proposition
was under consideration in the Coun-
Gil to pay the City Assessor 500 more
than the amount of his annual salary
as fixed by ordinance, Mr.. BEAUDRY
opposed the motion on the ground that
it would be better that the pay
ment of this extra sum be de-
ferred until it was known that the
City Assessor had faithfully performed
his duty. His suggestion did not meet
the approval of the majority of the
Council, and the extra 500 was paid
before sufficient time had elapsed to
determine whether the assessment had
been faithfully or imperfectly per-
formed. The wisdom of Mr.. BEAU
DRY's suggestion is now apparent. The
minutes of the City Clerk show that
already twenty three persons have
called to pay their taxes against whom
the Assessors books show no assess
ment.

THE MAYORALTY---No |.

In the list of candidates now before
office of Mayor, there is one upon
whose record as public officer it
would be prudent for all, and especial
ly the moral and law-supporting por-
tion of the inhabitants of this city to
ponder and carefully consider before
aiding, assisting or passively assent
ing to his election. This candidate
was lately foreman of Grand Jury
of Los Angeles county.
BY scrutiniZing the actions of that
Grand Jury, the people Of this city
may be able to form a judgment of
the respect which this candidate has
for the laws under which they live,
his regard for the sanctity and obliga-
tions of an oath freely and voluntarily
taken, and therefrom reach q fair and
safe conclusion of the course which
would be pursued by him in the event
of his becoming the chief magistrate
of this city.
In the staute book of this State the
following may be found: " Every per-
son who keeps house of ill-fame in
this State, resorted to for the purpose
OF pros titution or lewdness; or who
wilfully resides in such house, or any
house for the purpose of assignation or
prostitution, or any house of public
resort by which the peace, comfort or
decency of the immediate neighbor-
hood is habitually disturbed, or who
keeps any inn in a disorderly manner;
and every person who rents any apart
ment or tenement, knowing that it is
to be used for the purpose of assigna-
tion or prostitution, is guilty of mis-
demeanor."
On the 22d of October of this year
the Grand Jury above referred to made
their final report, signed by their
Foreman, who had taken an oath adj

CHICAGO, November I0th.-A New
York special gives report of an in-

He did not consider that the result of
the election thorough or permanent
revolution in public opinion, or that
this result foreshadowed the conclu-
sion of the next Presidential cam

result of the elections has shown the
necessity ola magnamimous and lib
eral policy. 1t shews that the Repub-
lican leader must be statesman. The
need of the time is n statesman. With
"a proper policy, and with the best
men OF the party at the front, | think,
said Mr.. Wilson, that the Republicans
can in two years carry every one ofthe
old free States, and some of the old
slave States. 1t is probable that the
republicans will be strengthened and
helped by the policy which the Demo
Gratis will pursue after their accession
to power. The history of the Demo-
cratic party for the last twenty
years has been series of blunders. 1t
has hardly drawn u breath in that
time which was not blunder. The
Republicans have controlled Congress
for sixteen successive years-a longer
time than any party has had the con-
troll since 1929. The Democrats will
find it no easy task to conduct affairs
to the satisfaction of the country, and
that it is a much harder labor than to
find fault with the Republican method
Of administration. | find no reason
to think that their course will contrast
favorably with that of the Republi-
