pay more to get it. He said his title
tDus decd from CHAPMAN. He ad-
mitted that he was told the lot was
fenced in and held by other pdrties
when he bought it, but that he was
sick and had not seen the land when
he paid for it. He had no answer to
make to the question that it appeared
strange that sick man should pay
nearly every dollar he had in the
world for II lot to which the person of
whom he bought admitted he had no
title, and that the property was held
and in fact owned by others. Mr..
BEAUDRY very properly refused to
have anything to do with this fellow,
unless he established his claim to it,,
in which case he told him he would
either buy it or he could sell to other
parties. At this point ROBERTS for
got his cunning and exposed his game
by threateningly saying to Mr..
BEAUDRY that he had many influen-
tial friends in this city, and unless he
came to his terms he aOoUld injure his
election. These are the facts concern
ing the "poor sick man" " over whose
case the ErpresS affects to weep lit
tie rivulet of tears. CHAPMAN had
no claim on the land whatever and
admitted he had none; and when he
could not force money out of Mr..
BEAUDRY, the "poor sick man." ROB-
ERTS comes in OH the same trick and
threatens Mr.. BEAUDRY that if he
does not come to terms with him, he
will use his mighty influence and that
of his influential friends - meaning
the ErprcSS-to defeat his election.
If the ErpresS can cite more fragrant
case of attempt at blackmail, outside
of it's own career-its zeal in this in
stance indicates that it was party to
tive shall be pleased to see it on
record. This is the quality of material
out of which libelous ISLANDERS are
manufactured against gentleman
and worthy citizen of this city. We
trust every man in Los Angeles will
read the facts we have here narrated,
and compare them with the vile
ISLANDERS the Express has attempted to
pass off in lieu of them.

THE Sacramento Union of last Sat-
urday morning contains the announce
ment that in consequence of H. w.
LARKIN wishing to retire from active
business on account of i'll health, the
proprietors of the Sacramento daily
and weekly Union have concluded to
offer the property for sale. Ifnot sold
before the 2Sth instant, the whole
property will be sold at auction on
that day. Thus will pass into new
hands one of the oldest and most influ-
entiai newspapers of California. The
Union has waged relentless and eff
fective war against monopolies,
through which, though it has proba-
bly, not profited financially, the people
have no doubt been saved many hum
dreds of thousands of dollars.

The Tuscumbia Yorna,.o.

CINCINNATI, November 2Sth.-A
gentleman from Tuscumbia states
that Sundays tornado was most disas-
trous in its effects upon the surround
ing country. Fences were blown in
every direction; large trees were torn
from the ground, and carried miles;
cabins and out-houses were lifted from
their foundation. In Tuscumbia the
loss will be about halfa million dol
lars. Nearly every building in the
town was more or less damaged. Pro-
visions were giving out, and there
were over four hundred destitute,
homeless people.
The ruins of the residence of State
Senator Moore were removed after the
storm and Mrs. Moore was found on
the bed with two heavy timbers lying
across her body, and two children
under her, dead and crushed out of
shape. John Hodgekins was blown
out of the second-story window and
the house blown down, burying his
brothers family. On removing the
ruins, Hodgekins, his wife and four
children were all found crushed to
death. The house of Mrs. Winslow
was blown down, and she was killed
by heavy wardrobe. The loss of life
by the tornado will not be less than
sixty, and fully as many are wounded.

The Army-RepOrt OF Gem. SchOfieId.
CHICAGO, November 2Sth. - The
Committee on Appropriation have
nearly completed the War Depart
ment bill, in which they have closely
followed the bill of last year. The
army is still to be maintained at 25,-
600 men. There is no deficiency in
the war Department estimates for
this year. The Secretary has received
the annual report of all the command
ers of divisions and departments. Gen.
Schofield, commanding the division
OF the Pacific, says: "Since my last
report, satisfactory progress toward u
final settlement of the Indian question,
so faras it depends on military opera
tions, has been made. Under the wise
and vigorous operations of General
Crook, the few Apaches who obsti-
nately refused to submit to necessary
restrictions have been hunted down
and killed, and General Crook thinks,
if the Indians of the various reserva-
tions in Arizona are properly man
aged, the Indians kept to work, and
furnished with seeds, and implements,
and their present interest in agricul-
ture and stock-raising encouraged, no
further trouble need be expected, and
they will gradually become self sup
porting. The business of the Depart
ment has been conducted in satislac-
tory manner, with due regard to
economy and the general interest of
the public service. | take pleasure in
renewing my previous commenda-
ton of General Crooks management

A NEW steamship company has been
organized on grand scale in San
Francisco. It is to run steamboats,,
steamers and sailing vessels on all
navigable waters of the known world,
or on any that may hereafter be dis
covered. The incorporators are men
who have the money necessary to
build a fleet, if they so elect Among
them are LELAND STANFORD, CHAs.
CROKER, d. d. COTTON, LLOYD
TEvIs and MARK HOPKINS. The cap
ital stock is $lO,OOO,OO0, divided into
100000 shares at 500 each. This, we
take it, is the Pacific end of the rail-
road war against the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company. The Central
Pacific Railroad Company already
own nearly all the boats plying on
our interior waters, and they have
only to procure steamers to start out

Sill Another Slander Pinned.

The hired slanderer which is Just
now in the employ of the Water COM
pany has had something to say about
the case of SToEMER, out of which it
seeks too injure Mr.. BEAUDRY. OF
course there is nothing in it except the
falsehoods of the ErprcSS, but as there
may be few new arrivals here who
have not learned the vcnal and un-
truthful character of that paper it will
be as well to state the facts, which are
as follows: OF 20 acres lying between
Second and Fourth streets, and run
ming far enough into the hills to make
up that number of acres which Mir.
BEAUDRY had divided into building
lots, one tract was decided by the city
to JESSIE ID. HUNTER on the 7th of
May, 1855. The other ten acre tract,
in which is the lot of HELEN SToE-
MER, was granted by the city to
CoNCHA DE LEWIS on the 10th of
February, 1866, and by her and her
husband HENRY A. LEWIS conveyed
to HENRY HANCOCK on the 10th of
July, 1856. On the 10th Of March, 1867
the Sheriff, II. A. SANCHEZ, sold the
above described 10 acres owned by
HENRY HANCOCK at public auction to
satisfy Judgment in favor of KELLER
against HANCOCK. Mr.. BEAUDRY
being the highest bidder was the pur-
chaser. He divided the tract into
lots and among others sold lot 11Eblock
3 to HELEN SToEMER on the 30th of
March, 1870, for $3.50 payable in
monthly installments Of $40 each
without interest. She paid SIS and
then sold some property to Mr.. BEAU
DRY for $50, making S35 in all. Mean
time Major HANCOCK had squatted on
this tract and Mr.. BEAUDRY instituted
suit for possession which was decided
in his favor. During the pendency of
this suit Mr.. BEAUDRY had suspended
the collection of the installments, but
when it was decided in his favor he
sent his collector for the money, who
was told by Mrs. .SToEMER that she had
obtained deed from the city and
claiming that it was her lot refused to
pay further installments. After
delaying some time, Mr.. BEAUDRY
again sent his collector to her for the
installment, with the notification that
if she did not desire to pay further in
stallments, she need rot DO so, and he
would return the money already paid
on the surrender of the agreement to
sell which she held. This left her at
liberty to keep the lot, if she desired
to pay for it. The woman sent back
her answer that she would not surrcn-
der the agreement, would not pay the
balance due, and would keep the lot;
and added that if Mr. BEAUDRY want
ed the lot, he must pay her for it.
After this she was notified that if she
persisted in her effort to defraud MI
BEAUDRY out of the lot, he would be
compelled to commence proceedings
at law against her, which was done.
The case was tried before JAS. Ian
DER, Court Commissioners, who rem
dered judgment in favor Of Mr.
BEAUDRY on the 2Sth of September,
1871. Out of this trial to recover his
own property, the slanderer seeks to
make Mr.. BEAUDRY guilty of an act
almost as mean as some of its own.

One More express SIander Nailed.

The reputation of the Express as
wilful falsifier and malicious slanderer
is so we'll established that any and all
statements it may make are harmless
in this community; yet, to show how
totally without foundation is its last
SANDER on Mr.. BEAUDRY, we will give
the facts relative to the falsehood for
which one ROBERTS is given as the
author: In April of this year, after Mr..
BEAUDRY had established his water
works on Alameda street and laid
some $4,000 feet of pipe to the reser-
voir on the hill, the attorneys of the
Los Angeles Water Company notified
him that his pipes were some 20 feet
on their ground. He doubted the cor
rectness of this, but said he would as
certain, and if the statement was true
he would either purchase the land or
remove the pipes. In May following,
Mr.. BEAUDRY purchased the Sepulve-
da vineyard of V. A. HOOVER - the
then owner-which adjoins the Ybarra
vineyard, on which the water works
are located. After obtaining his deed
he gave it to surveyor and had the
land surveyed, to determine the cor
rectness of the claim. He erected
fences according to the lines estab-
lished by this survey. The Water
Company were not satisfied with the
survey made by the surveyor employed
by Mr.. BEAUDRY, and they had one
of their own made of strip of land
which they claimed extended through
that enclosed by Mr.. BEAUDRY. The
result of this survey we do not know;
but the fact that they have not since
claimed the land is strong presump-
tive evidence that they had no title to
it. A few weeks after these surveys
were made, a man by the name of
of Jos. CHAPMAN, for the last twenty
years resident of San Buenaventura,
called on Mr.. BEAUDRY and claimed
that his (Mr. BEAUDRY'S) fence en-
closed some land belonging to him.
He defined his land as a lot 3Ox5O
varas, located on Alameda street,
partly inside of Mr.. BEAUDRY's fence
and partly inside of that of the Sis
ters. On being questioned as to title,
he said the only title he had was the
permission given bp the Ayuntamien-
to, in the year 1S47, to occupy the land
for the purpose OF erecting mill;
that he had occupied the land for that
purpose until 1850, when he sold his
mill to the Verdugo, removed all his
improvements from the premises, to
return in the month of September,
1874. He admitted that he had not
paid taxes on nor occupied the land
since lS50-twenty-four years ago. He
offered to sell his title to Mr.. BEAUDRY
for $3.50, but that gentleman refused
to purchase unless CHAPMAN could
satisfy him that he had a valid title.
A few days after his interview with
CHAPMAN, one JOHN J. ROBERTS
went to Mr.. BEAUDRY and claimed
that he had fenced some of his land.
ROBERTS said he had just bought it
from j. CHAPMAN, and claimed that
he had paid him 1910 for it. When
informed that CHAPMAN had offered
to sell his right to the land for $50,
ROBERTS said he knew the Sisters had
offered CHAPMAN $500, and he had to
