Why They StruQqIe.

NJ Claiming, as the Los Angeles Water
Company does, the exclusive right to
sell water within the corporate limits
of this city, people wonder why they
are so anxious to place their own crca-
lures in the Mayors and Councimen's
chairs. There arc several reasons why
the company is solicitous on this point,
but one will suffice for the present.
The company fix their own rates for
water and collect the pay for it
monthly in advance. Under the law
no water company has the right to fix
the rates for water at their pleasure.
At its last session the Legislature
amended section 54S of the Civil Code
to read rs follows: t5-
All corporations formed to supply water to
cities anu towns must furnish pure, fresh
water to the inhabitants thereof, for family
uses, SO long as the supply permits, at reas-
enable rates and without distinction of per-
son, upon proper demand therefor; and must
furnish wafer to the extent of their means in
case of fire or other great necessity, free of
charge. The rates to be charged for water
mnst he determined by Commissioners to he
selected rs follows: two by the city and coun-
ty or city and town authorities, or when there
are no city VI town authorities, by the Board
ofSupervisors of the county, and two by the
water company; and in case majority can
not agree to the valuation, the four Commits
sioners must choose q tifh Commissioner; if
they cannot agree upon fiith, then the Coun-
ty Judge of the county must appointsu such nth
person. The decision of the majority of the
Commissioners shall determine the rates to
be charged for water one year and until new
rates are established. The Board of Supervi-
sors or the proper city or town authorities may
prescribe proper rules relating to the delivery
of water not Inconsistent with the laws of the
State. GA.N H#M fH
No fair and equitable disposed Board
of Commissioners would fix the rates
for such water as is furnished Los An
geles at more than one-half the price
people are now required to pay for it.
Herein is found the reason why tie
Water Company can afford to spend
thousands of dollars in securing the
election of a Mayor and Councilmen
who will ignore the law and permit
the continuance of the present rates
for water. If the Water Company's
candidates are beaten at the city cleo
ton by ticket made up of men who
will heed more the einterests of the peo-
pie than the demands of the Water
Company, a Board of Commissioners
will be appointed who will not only
fix the price of water at reasonable
rates but they will see that, iii the lam
guage of the law, "pure, fresh water"
is supplied. 1t is the fear of this JUS
tice that spurs the company to almost
superhuman efforts to defeat Mr..
BEAUDRY and the candidates for Coun-
cilmen who if elected will insist on an
enforcement of the law.

COLONEL J. @. A. STANLEY of this
city, has just returned from n some
what extended trip in the Southeast
ern part of the county, and he reports
that though resident ofthis part cfthe
State for the past twenty years, the
prosperity and improvement which he
saw at all points visited were causes
for astonishment. The new houses,
new orchards and groves and newly
cultivated fields were gratifying sights
and afforded unmistakable evidence
of rapid increase of population made
up of the class of people we so much
need. There is still room for more.
Los Angeles valley is capable of sup
porting million people, and it offers
the finest opportunity in the world for
the erection of beautiful and comforta-
BILE houses. Cheap, rich lands in a
semi-tropical climate are within the
reach of all comers.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1874-11-21

WITHIN the last forty-eight hours,
a little more than one inch of rain has
fallen in this vicinity. The effect has
been very fine in the country, but in
the city quite the reverse is noticea-
BILE. The streets are converted into
broad lakes and fathomless mud flats.
In many places the high ridge made
by the gas company serves as a dam
to prevent the water running away,
and the depth of water and mud above
the embankment at several points de-
fies the power of implements used in
deep sea soundings. Parties are about
to apply to the Council for license to
keep ferry at several street intersec-
tions, and one party will ask permis-
sion to plant an oyster-bcd in a lake
on Main street, provided he can obtain
from the Water Company the right to
water his own oysters. The present
condition of our streets would disgrace
a Chinese back yard.

Marks Case - Another Race--Pro-
gress ofthe Palace Hotel.
SAN FRANCISCO, November 10TH
The State Temperance Convention
was in session nearly all day. The at
tendance was quite large and the
proceedings were conducted with
much enthusiasm. George Barstow
was elected President. The Commit
tee on Platform and Resolutions
submitted their report, which was
taken up for consideration.
The Platform urged that no license
be hereafter issued to sell liquor for
less than three dollars, and as much
higher as legislation may require.
This clause was subjected to u pro-
longed discussion, the position of the
( Convention being opposed to any sug-
gestions seeming to sanction the sale
of liquor under any license. Others
esteemed that the license system pro-
posed a partial remedy. The greater
part of the afternoon was taken up in
the discussion of this clause.
The amendment was finally adopted,
qualifying the sentiment of the Con-
vention with reference to the question
of license as an unavoidable concession
at this stage of the temperance cru
sade, and, the clause as amended was
adopted.
On account of the mysterious disap-
pearance of one of the witnesses for
the people i'm the case of Harbor Com
missioner Marks, for embezzlement,
the case was postponed to-day until
December 18th. 1t seems almost i'm
possible to bring this case to trial.

dition, and excellent time will prob
ably be made.

Wool Market.
Boston, November 18th. The mar
ket for domestic woods is quiet but
firm, with a steady demand from the
manufacturers. Full prices are readily
obtained for all medium fleeces and
comhing, with more inquiry. Lead
ing holders are confident about prices
and not disposed to press sales, as the
demand for fine fleeces is believed to
be only q question of time. Before
the end of the season, fine fleeces are
likely to be us scarce as any other
kind. The production of wool being
reduced by the manufacturers, will
end in bringing about healthy state
of trade. Sales of Ohio and Pennsyl-

NEW ORLEANS, November 19th.-
Divers were atwork yesterday remov-

steamer Empire, when the cabin broke
loose and the bodies entangled in it
were doubtless swept away, including
the Kemper family and all the other
woman, -oabin-hnys, pantrymen and
walters. An investigator was had be-
fore Inspectar Mofiatt, but nothing
definite was arrived at as to the real
cause of the sinking of the vessel. A
diver who went down in the hull re-
ports that it was much broken, log
chain being wrenched out of the boat,
leaving large hole, which must have
been under water and which caused
the vessel with her heavy freight to
sink almost Immediately. The boat is
said to have been bumped during the
night by incoming boats, causing a
great strain.

The Facts of the Case.

Since the E.Dpress commenced
charging Mr.. BEAUDRY with having
been guilty of criminal act in GER
tain land transaction and announced
it's determination to lay the case be-
fore the Grand Jury for investigation,
we have, on several occasions, asked
Mr.. BEAUDRY to give US statement
of the facts, but he declined to notice
the false and malicious charges until
an opp ortunity was offered to define
himself before the legal tribunal at
which the Express had stated it would
bring him. But rs his maligner con-
tinuei to reiterate its charges without
manifesring the slightest intention to
have them legally Investigated, at the
request of friends he gave US the fol-
lowing, which is all that transpired
between himself and BERNARD
relative to the lot in question:
One day Bernard was in my Office,
when / told him that / was losing five
and eight-tenths acres of land, which
had purchased partly from George
Hansen and partly from the Canal and
Reservoir Co., through the Bishops
having a deed from the city to twenty
acres which Tapped over my land to
that extent. He (Bearnard) then said
that he thought he had a lot also in
cluded in that Bishops 90 acres, which
was granted him during the time Mar
ehassault was Mayor, but as he had
considered it almost worthless, had
paid no attention to it for years; did
not know whether he had the deed, but
knew that action had been had in the
Council granting him the lot. Then /
told him that he could ascertain
whether he had deed ornot, and sug-
gested that by going to the city records
he could settle that fact. He then
stated that he had some difficulty with
the Bishop in regard to the tract of
land occupied by him (Bernard) adj
joining the Catholic Cemetery extern
sion; that the Bishop claimed por-
tion of that land from him; that before
this tronble the Bishop was in the
habit of visiting him and his family,
but since the dispute between them he
had never visited his family nor sa-
luted him.
A few days afterward he came into
my office again, and stated that he had
| found no deed from the city to him, but
had ascertained that the city had taken
action granting him the lot. He said
ne didn't know how to word a petit
tion, and wanted me to draw petit
| tion for him, which / refused to do;
but said that he might get my clerk to
| do it for him, which was done. Ber-
nard agreed to sell me the lot, but
after he had obtained the deed told
him that as he had stated to me that
he placed no value upon the land, if he
would give me deed 1 would pay the

The Candidates for Mayur.

Translated from La CronIca or the IItn Inst.I
We may at last form clear idea of
the situation. There are three promi-
nent candidates for the Office of
Mayor, who are Messrs. Tiffany, Sa-
bichi and Beaudry. The first has
merely the support of the Eapress, in
the columns of which we have read
TRADES of nonsense, hallucinations of
q diseased brain which alone could
shatter the hope that the estimable
Mr.. Tiffany will be our next Mayor.
Among other things, this organ on the
14th instant said: "How many of
those petitions for quit claim deeds to
lands which have been presented the
Common Council during the. past
three years were mere dummies with
Beaudry in the back ground?' Our CO.
temporary, the Express, again merits
the unenviable opinion which we
formed of it on another occasion, for,
to make such an assertion it know
ingly deviated from the path of truth
fulness. The Erpress knows full we'll
that Mr.. Beaudry has but little to do
on the Land Committee, of which
Mr.. de Cells is Chairman, as it also
knows that Mr.. de Cells cannot be
purchased as easily as some news
papers are bought.
An1 fhte h,.;,, mo RI Innr ,,,;nI ~
other candidate, Mr.. Sabichi. AS
Don Francisco Sabichi is perfect
gentleman, we have nothing to say of
him in this respect, but notwithstand-
ing all that we have seen in our CO.
temporary, the Star of Saturday of last
week touching upon the merits of this
gentleman, we do not believe, that Don
francisco p. de Sabichi is the most
proper person for Mayor of Los Ange-
les city. In our judgment he lacks
much of being able under present cir
cumstances to fitly discharge the du-
ties of such an Office. The present time
is very critical one for our city, when
a gigantic monopoly may be in the
dSOIllcS Vi ulSSOluJlOlls hI. OtDlClll Is
very progressive man, but not suffi-
GENTLY so to have attained to the
knowledge that every monopoly is
prejudicial to the interests of the peo-
pie. AT the session of the Common
Council of Thursday of last week,
judging from his vote, he was fully
willing to grant new privileges to the
Water Company, and openly support
nA hn In i. Afs Ion, n Inx
the matter overfor one week, notwith-
standing the question involved the
closing of various public streets; of
itself q serious matter. Through the
judicious and reasonable arguments of
Mr.. Beaudry and some other member,
this additional franchise, of which
they are already glutted was laid over,
although from past experience it is
presumable that the Water Company
has sufficient influence over certain
members Of the Council to secure at
the next session such action as will be
acceptable to this Unsuitable qUater
monster. We should keep in mind
that Mr.. Sabichi by his action and by
his vote, encouraged the Council to
hastily commit itself to an act of favor
itism. -
For Mayor we need man of intelli-
gence, whose judgment will not be led
astray by excitement of the mind,
person who knows and can calmly
calculate the best interests of the peo-
pie, who will promptly meet and ener-
getically withstand all who attempt

The SIanderer PiIIoried.

For week past the E'ucning Express
has filled it's columns with series of
falsehoods concerning Mr.. BEAUDRY
relative to lot owned by one BER-
NARD and about which lawsuit en-
sued between Mr.. DEs AUTELs and
Bishop AMAT. The charges of the
ErpreSs were known to be false, but it
iterated and reiterated them until Col
onel SMITH, who is the attorney of
Mr. DEs AUTELS in the case, deemed
it but justice to all concerned to place
a correct statement of the facts before
the public over his own signature. He
wrote the document and handed it to
the Express, with request to publish.
His request was refused. If anything
more were needed to prove that paper
a deliberate falsifier it is found in its
refusal to publish the card of Colonel
SMITH. The followingis the card, and
it fully exonerates Mr.. BEAUDRY from
all blame in case in which the E.c-
press has charged him with acting a
criminal part:

what has been said is calculated to
prejudice the case itself as well as Mr..

THE Express asks, What is the
HERALD ?' and proceeds to answer in
it's own way. We will try that style
of catechism. What is the ErpreSs9 ?
A small sheet, started and supported
by means of aid obtained from the
Republican party on the promises and
protestations Of its publishers to advo-
cate and maintain the principles of
that party, but after obtaining con-
siderable sum from the Republican
County Committee, dazzled by the
glitter of inducements offered by GEL
tain Democrats, it disregarded its pro-
fessions and advocated the election of
a Democrat. 1T then accepted the
offer of ring and entered upon the
dirty work of slandering and malign-
ing worthy and respectable citizen;
and when asked by well known and
well informed lawyer, over his own
signature, to publish a statement re-
futing its ISLANDERS, it proved itself a
slanderer and villifier, deserving the
execration and contempt of all good
citizens by refusing to do so. This is
our answer to the question, What is

VIRGINIA, Nevada, November IT,
Last night two servant girls were seri-

w. :. Wood, on B street, and but lit
tie hope is entertained of their recov-
cry. They both slept in u close room,
and neglected to turn Off the gas,
which by some means became eXtin-

When found this morning, one was
lying on the floor near the door and
the other in bed; both apparently
lifeless. One is better this evening
and may recover, but the other shows
no sign of reviving.
