4 Partial Admission.

Ut is something to the ex-gauger or
gan's credit that it partially admits
the falsity of it's statement that Mr..
BEAUDRY took the lead in vacating
the Health Office, by explaining its
meaning to be that when Mr.. BEAU
DRY took part in any proceedings of
the Council, it was leading part.
This is an unwilling-perhaps unin-
tentional-tribute to Mr.. BEAUDRY's
intelligence, and if the Express had
gone on and explained that Mr..
BEAUDRY did nor oppose the ordi-
nance as a whole not desire the vaca-
tion of the Health Office for an in
definite period, it would have shown
familiarity with truth that could not
but astonish both itself and it's friends.
Mr.. BEAUDRY is in favor of health or
dinances and Health Officer, because
he believes such law and such an
officer necessary to the health of the
city. Are the motives Of our cotem-
porary as honest, or are they so min
gled with political clap-trap, ring in
fluence and individual prejudice, that
its real concern for the welfare of the
city can hardly be separated from the
mass of rubbish ?
Los Angeles daily herald., 1874-10-18

We can therefore afford to smile at the
false, malicious and withal senseless
TRADES of our little cotemporary. We
shall continue to advocate such sani-
tary measures as, in our opinion, and
that of a majority of our citizens, are
best calculated to secure the health
and happiness of all who dwell in our
beautiful city. But in pursuing this
course, we trust we shall be pardoned
if we de cline to consider it part of
our duty, to malign, slander and ira
due those of our citizens who may
chance to differ with us as to the best
aad most desirable plan of carrying
out those measures. That policy
seems to be the speciality of the E'r-
press and we have no inclination to
interfere with its self-assumed prerog-
alive

Impure Water.

While we are on the subject Of
cleanliness-a subject which just now
is attracting more attention than any
other one item of the catalogue to
which our people are paying their
respects-it will perhaps, be as well to
examine the water we drink. This
once done, we need no urging to ex-
vmine the sources from which it is
brought, and when that examination
is made, great many people will give
over the habit of drinking water alto
gether. 1t is well known that the
water used in this city is impure-so
impure as to endanger the health OF
those who drink it, 1t is not aston
ishing that this is so; on the contrary,
the wonder is that it is not offensive
both to the smell and taste. A gem
tleman who knows whereof he speaks
informs us that no effort is made to
keep children, fowls, grown persons
or animals out of the reservoir in the
northeastern part of the city. 1t is
unprotected by cover or wall. The
children bathe in it and the geese,
ducks and other fowls are surrounding
it with a plateau of guano. From the
same source we learn that the foun-
tain heads from which the water is
supplied, near the Feliz ranch, are the
resort of wash-women, the bathing
places of children, and the stamping
ground of cattle. We do not know
who, if anybody, is to blame for this;
but we do know that the water used
by the citizens of Los Angeles is i'm
pure-alarmingly impure. We call
the attention of our little cotemporary
the Erpress-to this great big nui-
sance, and respectfully suggest that
perhaps it may contribute somewhat
to the spread of the scarlet fever.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1874-10-18
Death of Special Legislation.

The decision of the Supreme Court
in the case of San Francisco VS.. The
Spring Valley Water Company, kills
the special legislation that now en-
cumbers the statutes and will effect
ually cut off all future legislation OF
that character. AS the people of Los
Angeles have case or two of this
kind to dispose of, we make few ex.
tracts from the opinion of the Court
which was written by Justice CROCK
ETT:
Woodward, 4 Wheat, SIG, 1t has been decided
by the Supreme Court of the United States
that privileges secured by special Acts of in.
corporation, constituted contracts, which
were protected by that clause of the
Constitution of the United States which pro-
hibits a State from passing laws impairing
followed by numerous other decisions of like
import, in the Supreme Court, and in almost
every State Of the Union, including New
York, Massachusetts,, New Hampshire, Penn
sylyania, Michigan, Iowa, Indiana, illinois
The trainers of our Constitution were not
content merely 10 reserve to the Legislature
the power of amendment and repeal; but pro-
hibited in terms the power to create corpora
tons, except for municipal purposes, by spe-
cial Act; and almost every State which has
recently amended its Constitution has fol-
lowed our example. In the face of these facts
1T is altogether incredible that in forbidding
corporations, except for municipal purposes,
to be "created" by special Act, IL was intend
ed to provide only that the mere forms by
which a corporate entity was created should
be prescribed by general laws but that when
thus formed, it may be endowed by special
Act with any powers, however diversified, at
the discretion of the Legislature
The opinion of CROCKETT is con-
Cured in by Justice NILES, and in a
concurring opinion written by himself,
Justice MCKINsTRY says:
agree with Mr.. Justice CROCKETT and with
Mr.. Justice RHODES, that the Legislature can
neither pass special Act granting powers or
privileges to a particular corporation created
under the general law, which are not enjoyed
by all other like corporations under the same
law, nor pass special Act limiting, or bur-
thcning with peculiar conditions, the rights
or powers acquired by particular corporation
from the general law.
Justice RHODES dissents from the
judgment but concurs in the remarks
of Justice CROCKETT above quoted.
Justice WALLACE having been en-
ployed in the case at a former stage,
took no part in the discussion. There
may be some injustice in this charac-
ter of decision, but the principle
involved is just, and it's enforcement
necessary for the protection of the
people. 1t may be remarked that the
wrong which the notification of spec
ial franchises will work is not so great
as those interested will try to make it
appear, for this reason: The parties
whose assumed privileges are destroy
ed, have, through the extraordinary
advantages enjoyed reaped profit SO
in excess of that realized from legiti-
mate business that no actual loss is
sustained beyond the deprivation of
the means for continuance of these
excessive profits. The money invest
ed has returned itself ten and in some
instances fifty fold.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1874-10-18
We and It.

The little Express labors hard to ere
ate an impression in the minds of its
Few readers that the HERALD is op-
posed to the enforcement of a health
ordi nance and to the appointment and
maintenance of a Health Officer. The
object sought to be attained by our
cotemporary is well understood in this
community. 1t is well known that
its desire to injure the HERALD is
greatly in excess of its ability to ac-
complish its purpose, and so long and
persistent have been Its efforts in that
direction that its Trades against this
paper now only excite smile of con-
tempt on the part of the reader.
The HERALD has ten readers
where its little contemporary has
one. The HERALD has published
more facts, sent forth more statistical
and other information concerning Los
Angeles valley, and has contributed
more toward inducing immigration
to this part of the State, during the
past six months, than has been done
by the Express during it's existence of
three and half years. The HERALD
has made more practical suggestions
for the improvement of this CITY in
one week than the Express is capable
of doing in century. The HERALD
has presented more and stronger argu-
ments in support of sanitary meas
ures, health ordinances and health
Office, than the Express ever dreamed
of. The people know and say this.

Pacific Coast Items.

fruits to the Eastern States. During

three carloads per day.
Says correspondent writing from
Gilroy: "Narrow-gauge railroad Is in
teresting some Of our citizents, and it
should do so when freight is hauled
over the Southern Pacific Railroad
from Salinis for less money than 1t is
from Gilroy."

The Success of the Enterprise.

The immense attendance at Mr..
JoHNsoN's "New Italy" lectures and
exhibitions in the East, and the nu-
merous f1attering notices of the lee
lures and pictures, given by the lead
ing daily papers of all the large cities
where "New Italy" has been dis
cussed, is whitening rebuke to the
half dozen insignificant and charac-
terless journals that have attacked
the Press enterprise since the depar-
ture of Mr.. JOHNSON for the other side
of the continent. The Chicago and
Detroit papers refer to the views of all
Southern California in terms of the
highest praise, and repeat long pas
sages from the descriptive lecture.
There does not appear in those ex-
tracts made at random, and by men
who know nothing of the sectional
chickering's and petty jealousies which
which mark the columns of many
California newspapers, that partiality
and prejudice for and against locality
that has been charged to Mr.. JOHN
SON. There is now no doubt but that
the great scheme designed to add
thousands of good men and women to
Southern California will prove a sue
cess despite the efforts of those who
have sought to defeat it by malicious
stabs at the back of its originator. The
HERALD office yesterday received the
following dispatch which explains
itself.

and China and Japan, by the Central

Stanford says he cannot disclose the
