That vexed Question.

EDITOR HERALD: We were not q
little surprised to see the article in the
Star of yesterday mornings issue,
knowing as we do the charity of the
writer, which indeel, has often mani
tested itselfby generous contributions
whenever called upon. There is some
mistake, we opine in the intention Of
the author, when the argument is
used that there are other sufferers,
"who, perhaps, could show an equal
claim upon our sympathies with the
Louisianaians.u If there are any
such in Los Angeles, let them at once
be looked to; let a committee on home
charity be at once appointed among
our noble citizens and the starving
sufferers of Los Angeles be at once re-
lieved. To delay one moment would
be u burning shame and the fair fame
outraged which Los Angeles has so
long borne for charity. We agree,
however, upon the subject of the
Fourth of July, when the Star de-
mands celebration. This we cannot
do without; the day, in one word, is
the Fourth of July, and is bound to be
kept; whether by the dispensing of
aims to our suffering, starving broth
ers, or by the booming Of guns or other
manifestations-its still must inevita-
bly, be celebrated. And if the first
mentioned manner of enjoyment be
preferred to the second, then the little
ones, whose supplies of fire-crackers
and Roman candles are cut short, may
be told that it is done because there
are great many people starving to
death, among whom are poor little
boys and girls. Let them ask their
young hoarts if they would not rather
save the life of fellow-creature than
to commemorate the day by shooting
fire-cracker. ooh, yes!' will be the
answer, their ten-cent piece will be
given to the Louisiana Fund, and the
question of charity will never be for
gotten. This, indeed, will be noble
way to stamp the glories of the day
upon the hearts OF our children, and
when the day is past the recolections
of the day to their young souls will be
as bright as the day ITSELF for the sun
of charity never sets.
Let us then have Fourth of July
that can never be forgotten; let the
money raised for the celebration be
devoted to that purpose, and let ten
times that amount be raised and de-
voted to the saving of life; let our
committee on the Louisiana Fund
work, and let our ladies, Jewish, Catl-
olIc and Protestant, cooperate in the
good work, and on the Fourth of July
have such Il dinner in aid of the
Louisiana Fund as will gladden. the
participants in Los Angeles, and save
from death the starving poor of Louis
lana; let our Calithumpians think
of this; let our talented orator be
stirred by more than usual patriotism;
let the verses of our poet glow
with more than usual power, and our
reader read with more than his wonted
power; let the Grand Marshal, let all
unite to make the day the greatest
Los Angeles has ever seen, and let
the good news be echoed back from
the Sierras to the flooded valleys of
Louisiana, as the wires flash the
glad tidings, and Los Angeles will
have done her best in charity and
patriotism. Duty.

Professor Denton.

Prof. Denton the eminent writer
and lecturer on geology, who was re-
Gently arrested and thrown into Jail in
Sacramento for refusing to pay Ii
cense tax for speaking, is now in San
ia Barbara delivering course of lee
lures there. The people are highly
pleased with his efforts, as, witness
the following from the Santa Barbara
Press of the Goth inst, which comes
to us with note of personal indorse-
ment from the editor. We expect and
hope that the Professor will pay our
city q visit before leaving the Coast.
The Press says: Professor Denton
was greeted at Cooks Hall last even
ing by full house-so full that extra
seats had to be eXtemporizcd for per-
sons standing in the room. The lee
turer, we think, fulfilled the highest
expectations of those who only knew
him by reputation, and gratiied his
many friends here who have had the
pleasure of listening to him before.
In this opening lecture the Pro-
fessOr must have captivated all by his
extensive knowledge of geology and
the pleasing style in which he handles
the subject. lie stands amid his
charts and rocks, magician-like, wand
in hand, and without note or book,
pours out the facts, as recorded "by
the infallible Ihand of God,n concern
ing the growth of our planet; and
while charming the Imagination with
his eloquent descriptions, convinces
the reason with his well-drawn con-
illusions. He speaks not alone of
the geological evidences to he found
elsewhere on the globe, of the various
stages through which this planet
passed before reaching its present con-
dition, he gives the testimony of the
sands, the shells, the springs, the rocks,
the hills, and the mountains in this
immediate vicinity. He shows how
these were formed; the practical value
ofgeology to the theologian, the farm
er, the miner, and men in general.
and he does it all in such a way-ever
himself standing behind his subject
that the delight of receiving knowl-
edge at his hands, is sufficient COM
pensation for sitting for an hour or
two under his instructions. The great
success of the first lecture assures the
success of the whole course. The Sec
ond will be delivered this evening.

A Move in the R ght Direction.

We are pleased to observe that our
City Fathers have at last made the
much needed appointment of City
Health Officer. Many almost intoler-
able nuisances have been endured in
various parts of the city, and have not
been removed, simply because there
has been no special sanitary officer to
report them. Our city is becoming a
place Of too much Importance to longer
neglect that particular attention re-
quired. Los Angeles is, perhaps, Wis
tied by more strangers in the course of
the year than any other city in Cali
fornia, San Francisco excepted These
visitors are persons of superior refine
ment and intelligence-have lived in
cities and towns of the most careful
sanitary regulations, and detect at
once the sad neglect in this respect of
many portions of the city. Freely
have they spoken of this in our hear
ing as Il most serious drawback to the
place. The Board, in their session
last Thursday wisely considered these
facts and appointed competent and
worthy physician to give the careful
attention SO much needed. DIR. j. Ii.
Mckee, the appointee, has resided
amongst us some four months, is thor
oughly ideGtitied with our city, and
from what we know of the man we
can safely say he will so fearlessly on
and do his duty.

A favorable report comes from Santa
Ana regarding the crop prospects of
that section of the county. 1t is esti-
mated that there is five times rs much
corn and other cereals grown as in any
year heretofore. The barley crop is
good, and is being harvested at present.
The water in the Santa Ana ditch is
as far down as Richland, and is eX-
pected at Santa Ana in a few days,
which will help to enliven things gem
orally. Captain Debney has made an
examination of the harDor at Newport
Landing, and is well pleased with it.
He says small steamers can cross the
bar easily. This will be great con-

THE NEW ORLEANS FIGHT.

Dispatches in the morning papers an
nOunce the startling news that bloody
engagement between the citizens and
the Metropolitan police occurred in New
Orleans yesterday in which a considea
BILE number on both sides we're killed and
wounded. 1t appears that the contest
was not between the races, but between
the people and the usurpers OF authority
and power in the unfortunate State.
The conflict is in some respects anaio-
gous to the late Brooks Baxter difficulty
in Arkansas, though we fear it will not
terminate so favorably to its people and
their interests. In Louisiana, Kellogg
has seized the reins of government,
usurped and destroyed the private as
we'll as public rights of its white citizens
not in harmony with his despotic rule,
and has established reign of terror and
anarchy never exceeded in Europe IN
its darkest days. He has used his I'M
lawful power to disarm all white citizens,
While the public treasury has been
drained to purchase army guns to be
placed in the hands Of ignorant and I'M
scrupulous negroes. he has used every
means il his power to destroy the fnan-
eial, commercial and social interests OF
the State, and is really on level with
its worst class of outlaws, and as
such he is now regarded. Ii is no
wonder tina. the forbearance of the
people of Louisiana has been ex-
hausted, and that they have appealed
to arms to drive the invading despoilers
from their soil 1t remains to be seen
whether the President will again sustain
the outrages against the peace and dig
nifty of this unhappy State. After bis
course in settling the Arkansas troubles,
1t is hoped by many that he will use his
authority, even at this late hour, to de-
liver the people who are almost ground
to powder by Kellogg, Pinchback and
their crew, or whether he will blacken
his administration by permitting them
to use Federal bayonets to keep them
selves secure from the punishment they |
deserve.
