by the falling of the Bridge, while a :

THE Water Company are making
little renovations Which Will improve
the quality of the Water they are fur
nishing the city. The people are
thankful for small favors and are
pleased to know that from the little
unpleasantness between the HERALD
and the Water Company they will
draw purer water. Through the COM
bined efforts of the HERALD and the
Company = the HERALD calling at
tention to the fact that the water is a
little off, and the Company doing
something to improve its quality-the
number of houses taking the water
will probably be increased four or five
hundred. For this increase of busi-
ness the Company will be indebted to
the HERALD, but we shall let it go in
the shape of friendly favor.

SILVER CRY, November 3d.-The
election here and throughoutlOwyhee
county, as far as heard from, passed off
quietly. No returns are vet received.
1t is thought that C. M. Hayes (Re-
publican), for Sheriff. will be elected.
There has been n large amount of
betting on the Shrievalty, and a great
deal of money will change hands on
the result. The result of the vote for
Delegate is uncertain, but from present
appearances j. w. Bennett (Inde-
pendent candidate) will carry Owyhee
county. -Four hundred and fifteen
votes were polled in Silver City.
1t has been showing hard ever since
b p. NJ. and the prospects are good for
a general storm.

The Grand Result.

From the san Francisco Bulletin of Nov.5th ]
The smoke of the battle is fast
clearing away, and the general result
is now definitely outlined. The DEM
ocrats will have good working ma
jority in the next House of Represent
htives, and will have something to
spare after cutting through the two-
thirds line inthe Senate. 1t may be
too early to mark out, with perfect ac-
curacy, the complexion of the House
by States, but our returns are now
full enough to enable us to attain APP,
proximate correctness. Theappended
statement is carefully collated from
the latest returns, and shows the cons
position of the Forty-third House, of
the Forty fourth House as far as cleo
tions have been held, and the Demos
cratic gains in each State:
Los Angeles daily herald., 1874-11-08

Estimating that the delegates from
these States vii remain unchanged
though it is likely thet the opposition
will gain three or four members, the
next House will stand approximately
thus: Democrats, ia; Republicans,
1lS; Democratic majority, 56.
q Some think it not y very remote
contingency that the choice of Presi-
dent in 1876 will be thrown into the
House of Representatives In that
event, the Democrats would carry the
day, for the voting must, according to
the Constitution, be by States, the
representation from eachyState having
one vote; and the Democracy have
already secured a majority in the rep
resentation of twenty-one out of
thirty-three States that have elected
congressman.
There We're eleven State Governors
chosen on Tuesday, as follows: Demo-
cratic-Alabama (Houston), Delaware
(Cochrane), Massachusetts, (Gaston,
Missouri (Hardin), Nevada Bradley,
New Jersey (Bedle), New York (Til-
dem, Tennessee (Porter);s Republican
Kansas (Osborn); doubtful-Michi-
gan and South Carolina. This is q
gain of three States for the Democra-
cy-Alabama, Massachusetts and New
York. When the newly elected Gov
ernOrs shall have been installed in
office, the Democrats will have nine
teen, and possibly twenty, of the
thirty seven Governorships.
The Opposition has now twenty
three Sepators-nineteen Democrats
and four Liberals. The terms of nine
of these-Hager, Bayard, Hamilton
Gnd. J, Schurz, Upton, Stockton, Fem
ton,. Thurman and Sprague-expire
next March. Two of the vacancies are
sure to be filled by Republican, leav-
ing the Opposition stwenty-one Sena-
tors as basis from which to count.
But sixteen Administrations also go
out for the Senate in March, and the
Opposition will fill the seats of at
least six of fthem-Boreman, Lewis,
Flanagan, Brownlow, Pratt and Buck
ingham. This will bring the Opposi-
tion figures up to twenty-seven. The
remaining ten vacancies occur in
Florida, Maine, Massachusetts,, Mich
gan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Nevada,
Pennsylvania, Vermont and Wiscon-
consin. The latest returns from
Michigan leave the complexion of the
Legislature in doubt, with the chances
favorable to the Opposition. In Penn
sylvania the probability is that the
Democrats will have a very small
majority on joint ballot in the Legis-
lature. In Minnesota there is some
hope of an Opposition Senator. In no
other of these States has the Opposi-
ton the slightest chance of making a
Senator. 1t all comes down to this,
then: Tha Opposition will have cer-
tainly twenty-seven, probably twenty
eight, and possibly thirty Senators
after the 4th of March, 1875. 1t only
requires twenty-five to break the two
thirds line; but it takes thirty-eight
to make majority. 1t would be
something unexpected if the Opposi-
tion should reach the higher figure,
even in 1877.

Advice from a Contemporary.

For reasons which we presume are
satisfactory to themselves, the publish
ers of the Anaheim Gazette have never
manifested a decided friendship for the
HERALD. About this, however, we
have never lost our temper, and we
would never have alluded to the mat
ter had our cotemporary confined
itself to facts; but when it makes what
appears to be deliberate and inten-
tional misstatement, obviously with
malicious intent, we cannot permit It
to pass unnoticed. 1t says: "At
special meeting, held during Wednes-
day of last week, the Board of Super
visors ordered the County Clerk to ad-
vertise in its official paper for sealed
proposals to build sundry bridges in
the county. Up to Wednesday of the
present week, seven days after the
order was made, that advertisement
had not made its appearance 1t then
assumes that the enonappearance of the
proposals for bids is the fault of the
HERALD, which is the county official
paper. The Gazette editor should not
permit his spleen to provoke him to
the telling of a falsehood. The Board
of Supervisors made the order men
toned on the 2Sth of October. The
specifications, without which the adj
vertisement could not be made, We're
handed to the County Clerk ON Satur7
day, the 3lst of October; that day he
wrote the advertisement and it APP
peared in the columns of the HERALD
next morning and has appeared there
every morning since. The Gazette
also assumes that the HERALD should
publish the names of all persons for
whom the Board of Supervisors andit
bills, and says member of the Board
understood such publication to be o
part of the HERALD's contract with
the county. This is so absurd that we
will only say no member of the Board
understands or ever said he under
stands the contract in that way. Tie
Board audits from 800 to 500 bills at
each meeting. That those bills are
ordered paid is of no interest to any
one except those to whom they are
due, and they know When to call for
them. The publishers of the Gazette

IFa gentleman consentsto be a cam
didate for office in this city and does
not desire to have his private business
paraded in the columns of the Express,

per as certain Democrats argued with
it last year. Mr.. BEAUDRY declines
to adopt the policy of the persons who
wanted the organ to support q Demo-
cratic nominee, and therefore his pri-
vate affairs will be well ventilated in
the columns of the Express.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1874-11-08

We have here u Dmocratic gain of
nearly one hundred per cent, giving
the party clean majority of sixty
five in the membership thus far deter
mined. Later returns may change
this figure slightly, but it will not
go above seventy or below sixty. In
the election of the sixty-three mem
bers chosen previous to the November
battle, the Democrats gained fifteen,
or about one in every four chosen.
This ratio was more than sustained on
Tuesday, for in the election of two
hundred and twelve members the
Democrats gained sixty-seven.
There remain four States to elect
Congressman next year-New Hamp-
shire in March, Connecticut in April,
California in September, and Missis
sippi in November. The present rep
resentation of these States in the
House is as follows:

THE COST OF DYING.

and one knoweth not when or where the An

Ter OF general interest to know how much ii
costs to die. Judging from the blowing in

ness, died of consumption ut his room in
