BY the terms of the suitor's oath which
was in vogue in West Virginia after the
war, when the State was in the hands of
the Radical party, no person who could
not take an oath that he had never, by
thought, word or deed, sympathized with
the South, could bring any
suit to recover property of
which he was Illegally deprived. Such
n despotic measure was never i'll existence
even in the Radical oppressive govern
ments of South Carolina and Louisiana,
Had the Radical party been enabled to
carry out its favoritc designs in this
State, it is easy to perceive to what con-
dition West Virginia would have been
reduced. FOREMAN Il Co., assisted by
NATHAN GoFF, Jr, worked hard to per-
petuate such state efatiairs. Every vote
east for either the Radical Congressional,
Senatorial or Delegate ticket tomorrow
is an endorsement of FOREMAN and
Corr and their purposes upon the rights
and liberties of the people of this State.

The GoodaIl, Nelson & Perkins Line.

We have received letter from
Messrs. .Goodall, Nelson & Perkins, in
which they state that it has been re-
ported in various quarters that their
line was to be withdrawn. In correc-
ton of this false report they write as
follows under date Of of March 23d:
SAN Francisco, March 23d.
EDITOR Los ANGELES HERALD:
In order to disabuse
the public of any false impression ere
ated by such Misrepresentation, we
hereby beg leave to state that instead
of the withdrawal of the steamers now
running, two others-as soon as they
receive their new compound engines
and boilers, now under construction
will reinforce the line. These steam
ers are not to be excelled for comfort,
safety, speed and freight capacity by
any steamers that have ever appeared
on this coast. And further, we pro-
pose to continue the management of
this-a California steamship company
and do not intend to be overawed or
intimidated by the bombastic threats
or the Misrepresentation of the drum
mers of any rival company.
We respectfully solicit the support
of the shippers and people of the
Southern Coast, and we assure the
public generally that it will be our
constant endeavor to give satisfaction
to all who may feel disposed to favor
us with their patronage. Yours truly,
GOODALL, NELSON & PERKINS.

Los Nietos Correspondence
Los NIETOs, March

1LOo ~ lE1OSS AlalSlA AsItiis
EDITOR HERALD: Since our last,
18th inst, the shipments from Los
Nietos depot are as follows: 5,547 sacks
corn, sacks castor beans, 2 bales wool
and "a cases eggs to San Francisco.
On hand at the depot: 100 sacks barley
and 20 sacks corn. Hence you see our
little village is doing some business,
Notwithstanding the irregularity of
trains. 1t is said there are at least
5000 sacks of corn on the PicO ranch,
held for better prices.
The Odd Fellows Building Associa-
ton are making the necessary ar
engagements for their hall. The neces-
sary amount OF money is subscribed,
and we expect to see work commenced
on it soon. The building will be of
brick, two stories high, 62x32 feet.
Somebody, 1--WE don't remember the
name) had show here few nights
since and took chickens for tickets.
We understand that not less than nine

Snowman had no chickens either the
next morning-something wrong.
We note some improvements. Roads
getting good. Farming going right
ahead. HERALD, with news from the

Liberty Hill.

A, J. Doolittle, of Liberty Hill, fur
nishes the Nevada Transcript with the
appended information:
Snow is five feet deep, and every
thing is frozen up, so that mining cam
not be carried on profitably, on account
of not being able to save the gold and
quicksilver. tits not generally known
that Inducements pay about as much
again in Winter as in Summer, because
of the escape of the fine gold. and
quicksilver, in consequence of the cold.
The company which Mr.. Doolittle rep
resents is the only one now running at
that place. The ground adjoining
theirs is owned by the Little York
Gold Washing and Water Company,
who are English capitalists. At Little
Bear Valley, at the head of the ditch
belonging to this company, nine miles
above Liberty Hill, the snow is ten
feet deep, and on the ridges to the
right or left it is fourteen feet deep,
with three feet of ice at the bottom.
Mr.. Doolittle thinks it will lest at
least until July; while last year most
of the snow fell in February, and on
account of its light character was all
melted in thirty days thereafter. Mr..
Doolittle predicts prosperous season
and great demand for labor.

Gall Tin Correspondence.

4'ti.s GALLATIN, March 25th. !
EDITOR HERALD: Thinking that
some of the many readers of your val
liable paper would like line from this
land of maize AID pumpkins, 1 will
intrude short note into your columns.
Everybody is blowing, planting vines,
trees, shrubbery, corn and garden veg
etables. All are expecting rich har-
vest this year, after the copious rains
which we have had during the past
Winter. From present indications
there will be a greater breadth Of land
in cultivation this year than ever be-
fore in this valley; in fact all kinds of
business has much more healthy ap-
pearance. People are going to work
in earnest, and will do more this season
to build up and make this valley
home-like than ever before. We no.
tice that the crowds that used to assem-
BILE daily about the saloons and street
corners are growing beautifully less;
they-are now behind the pillow or har-
row. There is bright future for Gal
latin yet, when the landowners realize
the fact that all the land in the valley
is not included in the Gallatin town
plot and is not worth any more to
build on than for farming purposes.
Our merchants are doing a great deal
of business and our mechanics are
kept busy all the. time. The only
place that is destitute of business is
the Justices Office, which we must adj
nit is not good sign of prosperity,
though it may be sign of peace and
good will. No politics talked on the
streets here, as of other days. Once
in while passing curse at Asa Ellis
for going to Sacramento city after
county bonds to keep the San Gabriel
river in its channel. The present Leg
islature has declared that all of the
waters of this State are the property
of the State; if SO, the State should be
forced to take care of it's property, and
not allow it to be running loose over
the country to the damage Of our peo-
pie. l5l4.. ", OBSERVER.

Phoebe Mines.

4 We are indebted to the Phoebe
Record for the subjoined mining intel
ligence: The prospects of the late
strike in the Portland mine being per-
manent, are becoming more and more
cheering, and il things continue as
they are now it will soon be producing
large amount of bullion. The opera
tions in the Portland are going on
quietly and steadily, making prepare
lions to open out the rich lead of which
it is the fortunate possessor. On the
2O0-foot level drifting is going on
easterly, and ON the ledge, which looks
excellent. On the 300-foot level they
are drifting for the ledge and expect
to strike it in few days. Operations
in the American Flag mine are being
pushed forward with much activity.
In the west level, ninety feet from the
main shaft, good ore is shown in the
bottom of the dirt. The stope in the
east drift is looking e tremely we'll,
the ore being three feet in width.
The Wine below the left level is still
in good ore. Some beautiful speci-
mems of native leaf silver are being
found which attract much attention.
Some of the ore taken out is also exceed
ingly rich. The mine generally is
looking we'll. The Chief of the Hill
Company ship to-day seven bars of
bullion of the value of $S,3l1 80, the
product of ninety-four tons of ore
worked at the Amador mill, being
seventy-four per cent of the pulp assay.
This speaks we'll for the mill as we'll
as the mine. In the mine operations
are being carried on actively. A force
of twenty-five men are employed
drifting, and unless appearances fail
are in the close vicinity of consider

work done in the Office of the City

work done in the office of the City
Surveyor.
MrsDockweiler stated that the City
Surveyor with his assistant is now en-
gagged in the preparation of book of
plats of the city for use in making
assessments of property; that this
book of plats will be invaluable to the
city, and it is highly important that
the work should be continued and for
this purpose the Surveyors assistant
retained. Others doubted the value of
the book of plats, and some thought
that they would be claimed by the
Surveyor as his own private property
at the expiration of his term of office.
The debate was finally ended by Mr..
Beaudry moving, as an amendment to
the proposition that the City Survey
or be requested to produce his book of
plats before the Council, giving ex-
plantations and answering all ques-
tions propounded to him by the Board.
Mr.. Beaudry's amendment was put to
the house and carried; vote being
taken by ayes and noes. The motion
of Mr.. Huber was then dismissed
without further action.
The President called the attention of
the Council to small bridge needed
ON the. thoroughfare leading to Los
Nietos. Referred to Board of Public
Works. @
Mr.. Beaudry stated that some time
since several delinquent bills were
placed in the hands of the City Attor-
ney for collection He called for a
statement in regard to the matter.
The City Attorney, who was pres
ent, stated to the Council that the
business had been properly attended
to and some of the amounts collected
and turned into the treasury.
Moved by Mr.. Gerkens that the
captain of the chain-gang proceed with
his force to renovate the plaza and put
it in respectable condition prior to the
coming celebration by our Spanish
citizens. Motion carried.
An additional bill of Perry, Wood
ward & Co. for lumber amounting to

ceive cordial welcome. The Daily

success in every respect, and the lee
ture proved to be all that the press of
other cities had claimed for it," The
Baltimore Clipper remarks: His
'Driftings' have been gathered into a
beautiful collection of literary gems,
which when delivered by him sparkled
with brilliancy seldom met with. 1t
is to be hoped that Mr.. Massett will
shortly favor our citizens with another

OBJECTS of the Authorization.

OBJECTS OF the ASSOCIATION.
The object of the Association Is to secure pc
cuniary aid of $1,000 to the families or depend
ants of deceased members This we accom-
plish in the most perfect and substantial man.
ner, as has been substantiated within the last
few years by kindred societies; and that, too,
with an expense SO light that it has proved
not to be burden upon its members, which
not only increases its popularity, but brings it
within reach of those most needing its protec-
ton and aid.
Any person, male or female, may become q
member of this association il in good health
and over eighteen and under fifty years of age.
On proof of the death of a meTnbe of the
Association, his family or the person he has
appointed, receives Immediately from the AS
ISOLATION $1,000, or one dollar for each men,
Der in good standing, if the membership is not
full.
All surplus shall be loaned on good and suf-
fcient security ION real estate) to form 'per-
manent reserve fund.-" the interest on which
annually reverts to members in the form of an
abatement of assessments.
In case OF death, We send a notice to each
member. We shall have agents in each town
to receive the assessments and save members
the trouble of sending direct to the Secretary.
The Association, as well as its funds, is under
the control of a Board of eleven Directors, who
are elected annually by the members of
the Association 1t is also incorporated I'M
der the Civil Code of the State, which code
does not allow any funds to be used for pur-
poses other than set forth in the Bylaws,
while the Secretary and Treasurer are re-
quired to give heavy bonds for the faithful
performance of their duties.
The Officers and Directors of the Association
receive no compensation whatever for their
services, except the Secretary, who is simply
paid for keeping the books of the Association,
and the Treasurer. -
All members will be allowed the same inter-
est on money standing to their credit that the
funds of the Association draw, and they can
deposit such amounts as they may desire on
advance payments or as an endowment fund
for future years without risk or forfeiture,
whether one or more deposit.
The Association is designed to save money,
not to spend it. None will feel poorer for be-
longing to it, while many will bless the day
that their father, mother, husband, or brother
joined it.
A payment by one of the following methods
is necessary in order to secure membership:

Value of River Navigation.

The Louisville Couricr-Journal is
advocating in the interest of cheap
transportation an appropriation by the
United States Government for the i'm
provennent of the navigation of the
Ohio river. 1t makes the somewhat
astounding statement that the total
commerce of the Ohio river for the
years 1879 and 1873 is valued at $780,
5000, while the total foreign imports
of the country for the same years was
but $863, 100000. 1t says $4,000, 600
bushels Of coal are ANNUALLY received
at the single port of Cincinnati by
river transports, And yet the river is
closed by ice four months in the year.
