To the friends who were invited to the vod-
ding, as also to many to whom they were unable
to extend this courtesy tho following after cards
will be sent IN d short time:
Los Angeles daily herald., 1874-04-19

The mines Of the United States pro-
duce annually an immense amount Of
gold and silver, yet the bulk of coin is
gradually decreasing year by year, and
if the depicting process continues it is
but question of time when we shall
be bankrupt of coin. Now what is
the matter? Our mines produce fabu-
lous sums Of precious metals; we grow
everything; we manufacture every
thing. Why should our coin go on
depicting until we have less money
than nations that have no mines and
import all the metal from which they
manufacture their coin? Why is it
that We, great agricultural, manufac-
turing and commercial people, owning
the territory from the Atlantic to the
Pacific Ocean and from the tropics to
the frozen north, find our coin steadily
slipping away from US? 1t will not
suffice to deny that it is so; the facts
stubborn, incontrovertible facts-are
before us, and will not be covered up
rput aside. The coin is going, and in
time will all be gone. The important
business is first to find the cause of the
drainage and then, if possible, remove
the cause. How will this do for So
luton of the mystery: In 1860 our ex-
ports of manufactured goods amount
ed to S21,351,5 $50. In 1871 the total
exports of these articles only reached
$13,03S,753. The sum is small at the
outset, and appears to be growing
smaller as we progress. The other
side explains what goes with our coin.
In 1860 we imported manufactured
goods to the amount of SAG, 1T, 1876,
and in 1871 we imported $l65, 463, 679-
a large expenditure at the beginning,
with an increase year by year until
the last year exceeds the first nearly
$2O,OOO,OOO. We buy too much and
sell too little. This state of affairs is
due, not to the fact that we want what
we cannot grow or manufacture, hut
to our peculiar tariff system. 1t is to
the tariff, then, that our Government
managers must look when they take
steps for preventing the depletion Of
our coin.

One by one the members of Sheriff
Rowland's party have given up the
pursuit of Vasquez and his gang and
returned to the city. Only two men
Mitchell and Bryant-are now out in
pursuit of the robber and there is evil
IDENTIFY more danger of the pursuers
being captured than the pursued. The
last heard of Vasquez he was making
his way ovelAhe top of the mountain
between the Arroyo Seco and the Te-
junga-this was at O'clock p. NJ.
Thursday. Long before this he is
doubtless snugly lodged in some safe
retreat and laughing over hislittle ex-
plot down among the good people of
this valley. When the other members
of the party left Mitchell and Bryant,
they signitied their intention of keep
ing up the pursuit to the last extram-
ity and tracking the bandit beyond
the mountains and if possible to his re-
treat back of Elizabeth Lake. 1t is to
be hoped they will gain enough infor-
nation to secure the capture of the
robber at some time in the near future.

AT q late meeting, the Chico Butte
county, Changers passed a resolution
that land monopoly is the chief evil of
the times, and as an effective means
of breaking it up they demand equal
taxation. The better to attain this
end, they have appointed a committee
to meet with the County Board of
Equalization to insist that the large
ranches be assessed. This Grange
calls upon its brother Oranges in other
counties to act in like manner. A de-
mand for equal taxation is the right
of all, and compliance with this de-
mand is but justice to ALL

THE STATE UNIVERSITY.

Inc managers vi TIE university VI
California are grieved. Damaging
reports have been extensively circu-
lated concerning the institution, and
the Legislature did not seem impress
ed with its conduct or the prospect for
its early or remote usefulness to the
whole people. Ina general sense these
structures are not altogether under
stood. The nation and State have
given the university material aid. 1t
is the property of the State of Califor-
MA, and it has cost the people an inn
mense sum of money. 1t was design
ed for the free education of all quail
fled comers-the sons of the poor man
as well as the sons of the rich man.
But the rendering of the manage
ment has been to shape the school
into an aristocratic establishment-to
impose upon pupils conditions which
only the sons of men of means could
comply with. The system of teaching
has contained too much of the theo-
retical and too little of the practical.
The Agricultural College, which
should be one of the leading features
of the University, has been almost
entirely neglected, and the means
furnished for the maintenance Of that
department have been absorbed by
other branches. OF this the former
community very justly complain.
The people of this State are not dis
posed to support an extensive and ex-
pensive establishment for the free
education of the favored few. It is
not in accordance with the feelings and
spirit which prompted the founding of
the University. A few days ago the
editor of the HERALD met Professor
Kellogg of the State University, who
was visiting this city, and in CONVEX
sation on the subject, the Professor en-
phatically denied that the distractions
we have limited at were thrown in the
way of the poor young men who
wished to enter the University, and
asserted that the Department Of
Agriculture had not been and
would not be neglected to the
advancement of other branches of
study. While we are willing to con.
cede to the Professor the qualities of
sincerity and truth, we cannot over
come our conviction that there is
species of "unfriendly legislation" ex-
ercised toward the sons of poor men in
the University which, unless abated,
-" greatly impair the usefulness of
institution. And we are also ap-
iensive that the more practical
therefore the more useful branches
udy do not receive the attention
is devoted to preparing the heir
illions for his future appearance as
gentlemen Of elegant leisure.
University managers should re-
lber that they are supported by
whole people, and they can best
their salaries by applying them
8 to the advancement Of such
ches of education as will insure
greatest good to the greatest

LUTTRELL AFTER THE POSTAL FRAUDS

Congressman Luttrell, who is abe
the only member of the California d
egation having no axe of his own
some corporation to grind, is dol
the Government good service in ov
hauling mail contract frauds. His j
vestigations into these matters b
developed number of Facts SO frat
ulent in their nature that had tn
been committed a few years ago tn,
perpetrators would have spent the
mainder of their days within the wa
of State prison. There is no doubt
but that system of high-handed
frauds has been carried on for a long
time past by number of sharp finan-
ciers in the mail contract business,
and it is more than probable that theil
operations have been facilitated by
persons holding high positions in the
Postal Department of the Govern
ment. Luttrell has collected a mass
of evidence which affords conclusive
proof that millions of dollars have
been paid out of the Government
Treasury on mail contracts, where not
a dollars worth of service has been
rendered. 1t is to be hoped he will
push his Investigations not only in
the postal, but in other departments
of the Government. A few such men
as Luttrell in Congress would soon
show the people what disposition was
made of the vast sums of money, ia
raise which they are oppressed with a
heavy burden of taxation.

A wagon load of diamonds, watches
and jewelry is to be disposed of at our
Skating Rink. The sale Of these
goods will be conducted on the general
average principle which was adopted
by number of New York importers
and manufacturers in order to realize
on their goods at once, which becomes
necessary on account of the depres-
sion of trade and the extreme tight
ness Of the money market. These
valuable articles will be disposed of at
one dollar each on the following plan:
the goods desired to be realized on by
the importers and manufacturers are
placed in small boxes which are strap
ped; the whole number are then mixed
and the choice of the boxes is sold
for one dollar, regardless of the value
of the article contained therein. Full
particulars of this method of doing
business will be seen by noticing an
advertisement in to-day's issue in ref
erence thereto. The Rink will be
open for the sale Of these goods Tues
day, April 21st at 10 A. NJ.

sENAT0R SARGENT.

Senator Sargent is an unpopular
man perhaps the most unpopular
with his constituents of any man now
holding a seat in the United States
Senate, Ben Butler not excepted. AT
the date of our last election, and for
some days after, he was at one OF the
leading hotels of San Francisco, and
during the whole time he received no
more attention from leading citizens
and the people generally than If he
had been the commonest man in the
State. The faction of his party that
could be induced to support the tyran-
Gus assumptions of monopoly against
the rights of the people had suffered a
disastrous defeat at the ballot box,
and he found himself alone as Senator,
but surrounded by the questionable
throng that ever worships at the
shrine of the Federal Office dispenser.
He went back to the Senate in brown
study. He knew that he owed his
election to the money power of several
monopoly corporations, but he recog-
nized the fact that the influence of
those corporations had paled before
the might of the people, and saw that
the day when they could name a Sem
ator had gone never to return. He
saw that if the Republican party did
not cut loose from its monopoly asso-
ciates and become once more the
party of the people, its prospects for
continued domination were clouded
and it's end near at hand. He Won
dered what he should do to be saved,
and the plan he adopted has just de-
veloped itself. He watched the Adj
ministration party, and he saw in its
attempt to throw S4OO,OOO,0OO more
paper currency upon the money mar
ket, its refusal to break its idols and
return to those principles of its youth
on which it had reached the control of
the nation. After seeing this, Aaron
said, I will fold my tent and steal
away. In his speech against the in
flation of currency, Senator Sargent
read himself out of the Republican
party-out of that portion of it con-
trolled by Ben Butler and a majority of
the Administration leaders. N
what does he propose to do? Is
playing to supercede Senator Boot
Does he anticipate the election o.
peoples President after Grant, and
his detection from the party that ma
him a scheme for retaining his cont.
over the Federal patronage of the I
ciic Coast? Senator Sargent is f;
seeing, far-reaching and exceeding
cunning. He is no friend of the p(
pie and will bear good deal of care,

The Mail Subsidy i'm the Senate.
WASHINGTON, April 19.-The Sem
ate Committee on Commerce, in their
report on the Pacific Mail subsidy, say
there is no need of semi-monthly mail
facilities between San Francisco and
China other than those now provided
by other lines which ask no subsidy;
that an additional subsidy, if granted,
would only be used to crush out fair
competition on the Pacific Coast and
facilitate the present importation of
Coolie labor; and that the money
should be saved to the Government.
The present subsidy of 100000 a year
for monthly mail service is not af-
fected by the foregoing recommends
ton, but it is continued until 1877.
