followed by startling letter from
CESAR himself to the Secretary OF
War, which will be according to his
official organs) accepted as a harbin-
ger of Joy and peace to hundreds of
thousands of law abiding citizens of
the South" How very benevolent
our CESAR has become; but some
may ask why this joyous letter was
not written years ago, and not left as
last political dodge to help our
CESAR into the Presidential chair for
third term. And what Is the tenor
of this joyous letter? Why, In SUBJ
stance, he is now, as heretofore, send
ing armed troops to aid his cohorts to
control the election in the coming con-
test-nothing more nor less. But read
what the Washington organ of CESAR
has to say on the subject:
at is the first step in the direction of res
toration of quiet and good order in that Sec
rowdy element who disgraced the Confeder-
ate arms during the war by the Fort Pillow
massacre, by the murder and starving of de-
| war, has kept alive the feeling of sectional
| hatred through It's Ku-Klux Klans, White
Leagues and so-called Tax Unions, Unfortu-
nately for the immediate protection OF the
| class who have lately become victims of the
disorder in the South, the Administration is
unable to proceed to their direct relief. be-
| cause the Con stitution invests the power to
do so in the State authorities; but, so far as IL
| can be done without violating existing laws
| arm of the General Government will be
brought to bear in their behalf. If these
Southern murderers mean night, they. may
| rely upon 1t that they will be accom- m odated;
| but 1t Is to be hoped that the moral effect OF
the Presidents letter will serve to restore
peace and quiet"
For nine years the South has lain
PROSTATE under the exactions and
Vaccinations of this CESAR, and to-
day "the first step in the direction of
quiet and good order in that section
has been takenw Can the people be
hoodwinked by such transparent pre-
texts for the perpetuation Of an ad-
ministration which has reflected so
little credit upon us abroad and at
home, has permitted system Of cor
ruption and robbery to permeate every
department until it stinks in the nos
trils of every rejecting mind. If we
do not mistake the signs of the times,
the people will be fully reused on this
subject, before the next Presidential
election, when tide Of indignation
will set in that will overwhelm these
Misunderstanding nothing but their
sad memories to remind US and COM
ing generations that they ever marred
or ruffied the tide of time.

Distinguished Arrivals.

Among the latest guests at the Pico
House are WIN. NJ. STEWART, one of
the State of Nevada's United States
Senators, and General BEALE, a
wealthy resident of Southern Califor-
mia. General BEALE comes down
from San Francisco to look after the
proposed line of railroad which is
shortly to be built between this city
and the coast and no doubt on through
to the Cerro Gordo mines. General
BEALE is largely interested in land
grants at Santa Monica and the prop
osition of the Los Angeles and Coast
Railroad Company to build a road
which shall touch the water at point
not calculated to enhance the value of
the Generals land, is what is just
now attracting his attention. He
may make it an object to that COM
pany to run their road through his
land. The success or failure of this is
in the future, and will depend to a
great extent upon the liberality of
Messrs. BAKER and BEALE. The mis-
sion of STEWART is quite different.
He comes as friend and advocate of
the Central Pacific Railroad Company.
He has been the friend and supporter
Of this corporation since his election
to the United States Senate. Senator
STEWART of Nevada has never been
known to oppose any scheme or prop
osition of the Central Pacific Railroad
Company. In Washington he has
been recognized as the pettifogger OF
that corporation, and no one supposes
that he visits Los Angeles county fol-
any other purpose than to advance the
interests of that company. 1t may
be that he will talk Panamint and
Cerro Gordo mines, but we would adj
wise the friends of the Los Angeles
and Independence Railroad or Others
favoring railroad schemes not down in
the programme of the Central oil
Southern Pacific managers, to listen
to what he has to say, yet say nothing
of themselves-he is no friend to any
railroad scheme of which LELAND
STANFORD is not President.

EDITOR HERALD: The vexed ques-
ton, dogs: there are too many OF
them, and if there is no law by which
those pests of day and night can be
exterminated, then it is time that
every person so annoyed should go
quietly and resolutely to the work OF
killing as many as he or she can, with
strychnine and revolver, and in due
time we may insure the safety and
peace of our families.

CALIFORNIA was admitted into the
Union on the 9Th of September 1850.
Now, was the 9th instant the twenty
fifth anniversary of the admission of
our State into the circle Of States? To
make 1t such we must count the day
OF admission one of the anniversaries.
1t will be difficult to do this for the
reason that the anniversary of an
event does not arrive until one year
after the occurrence of the event itself.
The newspapers generally speak of
the 9th instant as the 25th anniversary
Of California's admission into the
Union, but 1t seems to us to be only
the Oath anniversary.

The Beautiful Suicide,

The incidents herein related
transpired mainly in city which
has gained a world wide celebrity
both on account of its peculiar
good fortune and misfortune-a
city whose stupendous enterprises,
entered into with zest and carried
to successful issue, have electrified
the commercial and business world,
and have yet again lifted up their
smitten heads out of the blackness
of ashes still loftier than before.
Notwithstanding the emincnce
which it has reached as business
metropolis, there is certain super
abundance of vice and crime with
out name, such as usually pertain to
all great and popular marts. 10
this place, so well calculated to

that would deter him from even a

The Departure Of the Old
Year.

"Once upon midnight dreary."
Three young maidens watched tho weary
Old, old year depart;
With its Joys, and cares and SORROWS,
Golden sunshine, chilly showers.
Buried in its heart.
Yes, for ever and for ever,
Down into oblivion flown;
Ne'er again how long the future.
Will the old, old year return.
Asked one winsome maiden free
D ths, ,hlr, "Wouldst thou see
The mystic courtain rise
Showing forth all future ages.
Which ha'h been with sire and sages
Hidden from their eyesl
wouldst thou see thy future welfare
All, if il should ,oelfdre be-
That awaits thee in the vista,

Maidens, echo answeres softly, lowly,
Look into the future slowly,
God knows all.
Fen were there less clouds than joy,
Pleasures pure without alloy,
Still some rain must fall.

In its phases one and all,
Future cares though petty they be.
Would thy fair young hopes appall!

ranks Of infidelity, and was exert
ing baneful influence over his as
yet plastic mind.
The summer interval Of leasure
had come to the students and he
sought the refreshing and invigor-
ating breezes of the country hill
sides, and botanizcd along the
mountain brooklet and through the
spongy meadows. In these walks ne
was often accompanied by rather
well-appearing young lady, who
seemed to take more than COM
mon-place interest in him. She
was the daughter of the people
with whom he was stopping, and
although they had seen each other
for the first time but few weeks
since, she was dazzled by the young
mans seeming accomplishments
and apparent studious nature,
She could see naught but a bril-
liant future for such as he, and was
prone to listen with fondness to
his Establishments.
The time wore on, and the day
at last arrived when he must re-
turn to his class. To her it seem
ed as il a part Of herself was being
removed,-in SO short time do
the tendrils Of a woman's love
twine around the object Of her af-
fection. By-and-by letter came.
1t breathed ardent pretestations
and promises of enduring fidelity.
The trusting girl instated it in the
place of the absent one, for he had
written it. Treasure it, dear girl
for it is the nearest to possessing
him that you will ever attain. The
fatal step had been taken; the
thorny path must be trodden, ever
to its last bitter end.
What was passing in the young
mans mind all the time! On his
return to college, he was disposed
to rejoice over his conquest, an'
even to boast of it idly. So viii
the demon Of skepticism poisol
the moral elements of an uniformed
mind, and, alas, too often ruin al
, immortal soul. But there comes
, time-in the stiffness of the night
r It may be, or about ones daily call
ing, when the canker, the con
: science, will gnaw, and twinge ah'
will not be denied. Such moment
soon overlook the thoughtless trif

was to try Lis experiment, and
stripping the sack from the body,
he fell back with cry Of anguish.
It was she-Alice. She had come
to him when he would not go to
her. There she lay, the wreck of
what, but for him, might have been
to-day an ornament to the circle in
which she moved. She had clung
to the letter and wandered hither
and thither under the vain delusion
of finding her lost one and retriev-
ing her misfortune. But alas! A
woman's heart is flesh, and flesh is
weak. Hope had expired, and in the
agony Of her soul she had severed
the tie which bound her to her home.
From the moment that Charles
Huntington looked upon the lifeless
form of Alice Dunbar he was
changed. On rec overing from his
spasm of grief and remorse, hc re-
called all the past-all the van
theories with which he had been
wont to comfort and console him
self in vicious career were dis
solved and scattered in the light of
the eternity before, and he gave
vent to his heart-agony in accents
humble but firm: "Oh, God l
know now that Thou art. But
through what deeps hast Thou led
me Here over this clay let
me register my VOW henceforth 10

dow me with the power for good

have wrought. So shall l hope to
