Disposed to bubble.

Because we are disposed to encour-
age our Wilmington friends little in
their laudable enterprise of forming a
warehouse and shipping association,
the Express assumes that we have
given up all our position on the har-
Dor question, and propounds the fol-
lowing conundrum, "would the pres
ent extension of the railroad few
hundred yards to deep water, relieve
us of transhipment? 1t goes on to say
that if it will not we must wait till
the bar is deepened, etc. If the edi-
tors of that paper would read our
articles with any care they would not
ask such stupid questions. 1t is the
Express that thinks few hundred
yards of wharf, will bring the road to
deep water, and not this paper. We
have uniformly claimed that the bar
must be dredged away or the railroad
extended to Deadman's Island or San
Pedro, and if the bar is dredged away,
the road must be extended TO point
that large vessels can reach it. If
there is deep water within such a
trifing distance why did the Chamber
of Commerce recommend such an ex-
tensive work for making q channel?
The Wilmington people claim that
the bar will be dredged away as soon
as the rough weather subsidies. For
confirmation of this see our correspon-
ence from that place in the HERALD
of the 4th. They also assert that the
wharf is to be extended to deep water.
In yesterdays issue we alluded en-
couragingly to their efforts, but at the
same time warned them that if they
stopped short of complete fulfillment
of the demands of the people Of South
ern California. they must expect to
see the same end accomplished in
some other way. Will the erudite and
excessively exact editors of the En-
press point out the ''wlggling" in this,
or how it is inconsistent with what
we have heretofore held?

An object OF Pity.

Whenever the publisher of the M0r
takes a look ut the well-filled columns
of the HERALD and realizes that not
withstanding our advertising rates are
nearly double those of the other city
papers, we are overrun with legitimate
and respectable advertisements, his
bile at once overliows, and he relieves
himself by such choice language as
blear-eyed Importation" Journal
istic puddinghead,n etc. We know of
no relief for his sorrows. He is likely
to be narrowed by the success of the
HERALD for years to come, unless, in
deed he shall take himself off to some
place where the peculiar services he
can best render are in better demand.
From what we hear of it, the "Bar-
barry Coast" in San Francisco might
afford congenial field. In such
an atmosphere his choice and
elegant language would meet with
the appreciation it deserves, and
he might with ease, exc out the in
come of his paper by levying black
mail on the miserable creatures who
are low enough to need his services or
to fear his pen. The time is past,
however, in Los Angeles, when he
can flourish by such practices. Candi-
dates for office no longer go to him and
pay him money for his support, and
when he follows them around offering
to advocate their claims ''for a humid
red dollars less than he would support
anyone else" his profiers are spurned
with contempt.
We are sorry for him; bafflcd and
played-out black-mailer is a pitiable
object. His hatred for an honest, in
dependent and successful newspaper is
so natural that we haven't the heart
to resent his hard words, even if we
otherwise felt like needing abuse from
source that a fish-woman might de-
spise.

THE Gas Companylhas at last foul

THE Gas Companyihas at last found
an advocate. The notorious dead-beat
and black-mailer of the Star has prob
ably received present of his weekly
gas bill, and forthwith he rushes to
the front as the apologist and defender
of this monopoly. In buying this
BLACKBOARD however, the Company
have not shown their usual sagacity.
Before he was known in this commu-
nifty, his services might have COM
manded a reasonable price, but now it
is so we'll established that he can be
bought and sold, that respectable peo-
pie shun his support. Like the street
walker, he is compelled to wander
around the slums and alleys, taking
in the unwary, and serving the most
desperate cause for the sake of few
dimes of blood-money.

THE New York Bar Association Ina

THE New York Bar Association have
passed resolutions against the confirm
alton of Williams as Chief Justice.
The Judiciary Committee of the SEN
ate are almost unanimously opposed
to him, and If the Senate is not, it
ought to be. The office of Chief Just
Ice should never be disgraced by being
made the sport of scheming politi-
clans
Los Angeles daily herald., 1874-01-08
The Senate prudently hes

The Senate prudently hesitates to
repeal the bankruptcy law. Like
many other laws, it is liable to abuse !;
but that some such law is necessary,
the history of the country demon
strates. The compulsory provisions
by which single creditor can force a
man into insolvency and ruin are
wrong and should be repealed. But if
amended, as proposed, so that a ma
jority, or two-thirds of the creditors,
shall be required to common proceed
fngs, most of the present OCCASIONS of
com plant will be avoided.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1874-01-08

THE press is almost unanimous in
demanding that a sufficient reward
shall be offered, to bring Vasquez and
his gang to justice. la a thinly settled
country like this neither life nor pro-
perty Is safe If such marauders are al
lowed to live. The $4,000 bill should
pass the Legislature at once.
