The Dead Lock BrOken.-The dead lock

The Dead Lock BrOken.-The dead lock
which held our worthy Board of Town
Commissioners for three weeks, III fruitless
efforts to elect bailiff, was broken on last
Monday night by the election Of Mr.. Tim
othy White ex-deputy sheriff. Mr. White
was recently appointed a member of the
Baltimore police, but on account of his
health, was compelled to resign that office.
Mr.. w. will make a good bailiff; and we
trust his past training as sheriff and police
officer will be found useful in putting a
stop to the disagreeable scenes that occur
in our streets very frequently.
Decoration Day.-The 30th Of May is
the day appointed for the decoration of the
graves of the soldiers, but arrangements
could not be perfected by the Elkton Divi-
sion of the Grand Army of the Republic
on that day, and the ceremony was post
poned till Wednesday, when it took place.
Two men, Mr.. Charles Smith and William
Drew, performing the services, assisted by
three ladies. AS our braves have allowed
the service to degenerate into almost a
farce they had better make no pretensions
in the future.

and at once remove the stain, which
if unnoticed would in time become q
great blot. We are told the Water
Company of this city speak of the
HERALD as their enemy. We are at
a loss to know what they have seen in
the columns of the HERALD which
could warrant such a conclusion. 1t is
a great mistake. The HERALD is now
and always has been animated by the
kindiest feelings toward both the
Water Company as corporation and
its members as individuals. The HER
AIDS regard for the corporation Is so
great that when complaints regarding
the quality of water furnished are
made it, in the hope that the COM
pany will remove all cause for adverse
comment, publishes the statement in
its columns. This is done in the kind
est feeling and for the best of pur-
poses. Surely the HERALD has never
Intentionally given the Water Com
pany the slightest reason for regard
ing it as an enemy.

Thanksgiving Proclamation.

By the President Of The United States
Of Americd-A Proclamation:
Reminded by the changing seasons
that it is time to pause in our daily
avocations and offer thanks to AL
mighty God for the mercies and abund-
ance of the year which is drawing to
close; the blessings of a free Govern
ment continue to be vouchsafed to us;
the earth has responded to the labor of
the husbandman; the land has been
free from pestilence internal order is
maintained, and peace with other
Powers has prevailed. 1t is fitting at
stated periods we should cease from
our accustomed pursuits and from the
turmoil of our daily lives and unite in
thankfulness for the blessings of the
past and the cultivation of kindly feel
ing toward each other. Now, there
fore, recogizing these considerations,
/, q. S. Grant, President of the United
States, do recommend to all citizens to
assemble i'll their respective places of
worship on Thursday, the Goth day Of
November next, and express their
thanks for the mercy and favor of the
Almighty God, and, laying aside all
political contentious and secular occu-
pations, to observe such day as day
of thanksgiving and praise.

Libel Suits Against Newspapers.

This is not a very prosperous period
for plaintiffs i'll libel suits against
newspapers. Two have just termin-
ated in verdicts for the papers. Some
years ago Mining Bureau was formed
in Sacramento. The San Francisco
Chronicle, after investigating the
thing, pronounced it scheme for
swindling, and in language so plain
as to be unmistakable, denied that the
leading spirit was one of those indi-
viduals whom we are taught to regard
as the noblest work of God. The
leading spirit sued the Chronicle for
libel, and claimed twenty or twenty
five thousand dollars damages. The
case was tried about two weeks ago
and an intelligent jury decided that
the Chronicle had not libeled the lead
ing spirit, and that he was not dam
aged to the amount of q wooden nut
meg. A recount was had of the bal
lots cast at an election held at Sacra-
hlchto CIty III loioi db WHICH Tie pro.
ceedings were SO informal and suspi-
cious that the Union reflected some
what severely on the action of the re-
counting committee. Each individ-
ual member of the committee brought
libel suit against the Union, claim
lug ten thousand dollars damages
each. The first of these suits occu-
pied four days of last week in trial,
and the jury, after being out half an
hour, returned verdict in favor of the
Uuion for costs. The other four suits
will be dismissed. The Union claims
that the plaintiff in this suit was
backed by its ancient enemy, the
Central Pacific Railroad, and that per
consequence he was supported with all
the legal talent and financial means
necessary to make the most of his
case.

From Over the Water.

LONDON, November Sth.-The city
is excited by the report that three
merchants who have been engaged In
the clothing trade here have ab-
seconded, leaving liabilities to the
amount of $4,000. All are said to
have left together last week and have
not since been heard from. Their
names are suppressed for the present.

LONDON, November Sth. A dispatch
from Hendaye says the Carlists are

Nine houses have been burned and
the town is much battered. Another

Mutilating the Streets.

EDITOR HERALD: Would any but the Gas
Company be permitted to dig up the streets
and leave them in the condition that corpora
tion has just left Main street? Has the city
no rights the Gas Company is bound TO re-
spect? TAXPAYER.
Los Angeles, Nov. 9th, 1874.
1t is a part of the Gas Company's
contract with the city to leave the
streets in as good condition as they
find them. If this condition is not
complied with, it is the fault of the
citizens or of those whose business it
is to enforce the law. The Gas Com
pany are sticklers for the full measure
of the city's contract with them, and
it is but q mere matter of justice to
the taxpayers that the city should re-
quire an equally strict compliance
with the compact on the part of the
COMPANY.

A Common Error.

1t is an error of Judgment on the
part of those who see only malice as
the prompting motive in all persons
who think differently from them
selves. There are many people who
set down all who do not agree with
them on all questions and issues, as
either knaves or fools. Such people
are themselves to blame if they have
few real friends. We cannot all see
alike nor are any of us free from fault.
An individual ought not to regard as
an enemy one who tells him of an en-
ror or declines an endorsement of his
every act. Corporations are combina-
tions of individuals and are therefore
liable to commit mistakes, perhaps
perpetrate wrongs. Should one do so
and the fact be alluded to, is the per-
son who points it out necessarily an
enemy of that corporation? Certainly
not. The act is one of friendship and
the corporation should so regard it. 1t
enables them to apply the remedy

A Man Kills His Wife Because She will not
Live With him.

SAN FRANCISCO, November 9TH
Edward Mcclure, whose wife had left
him on account of his intemperance
and brutal habits, went to where she
was yesterday afternoon to compel
her to live with him again. He took
with him 6. shotgun and she refused
to become reconciled, and attempted
to run away from him, when he fired,
killing her.
Il. Mcclure who murdered his wife
yesterday, is in the Police Court to-
day awaiting an examination. He is
reticent and refuses to say anything
about the murder. The shot he fired
at his wife did not strike her in the
back, as at first reported, but in one
of her thighs, severing the femoral
artery, and the poor woman bled to
death in few minutes.

wholesome, and now the Water Com

damages. The Company is extremely
sensitive or wants money very badly.

IT is announced that in his message
to Congress next month, the President
will say something severe about the
Credit Mobilier swindlers. 1t will
come too late. A forced service is never
highly valued. The President has
never alluded to the class of whole
sale infamies, of which the Credit
Mobiler is one, in any ofhis messages,
ahd it is probable he would not now
do so had not the people spoken so
emphatically against his Administra-
ton. 1t is useless to lock the stable
door after the horse is stolen. The
President had better maintain his rep
utation for stubbornness unto the end
That is about all the reputation he
will be able tie get away with. AT this
late period of his Administration no
amount of villany denunciation will
restore him to the confidence of the
people.

WHILE nosing around Mr.. BEAU
DRY's private business the Water
Company's organ has discovered
that though the owner of
water works that costs $40,-
600 he pays taxes on n less amount.
Had the organ been disposed to deal
fairly ii would have stated that these
water works were built since the last
assessment was made. But while we
are in the subject of taxes we will ask
the organ if it is not true that the
Water Company with a capital stock
of of $330,000 and an actual cash in
vestment of of over 100000 refuses to
pay cent of taxes on that property?
