Los Angeles daily herald., 1875-12-11
IN PREPARATION.

Following the issue of our mammoth New
Years number OF the Daily HERALD we pro-
pose to publish another edition OF the HER
AID Pamphlet of ten thousand copies. This
Pamphlet will be filled with new and origi-
nal matter, illustrating the growth, business,
advantages and general status of Los Angeles
city and county. 1t will be the most complete
and reliable publication OF the kind ever Is
sned. The Unprecedented popularity of the
previous HERALD Pamphlets has determined
the manager to spare no pains or expense to
maintain the excellent reputation of this
publication. 1t will bef1lled with reliable
statistics and articles ON farming, fruit rails
ing, grape culture, wine making etc, con-
tributed by prominent citizens OF the county.
In addition to this, a gentleman of ability
and experiences canvassng the county for
the purpose Of fully writing up every por-
tion OF It.. Our merchants will find this an
excellent advertising medium and will do
we'll to engage space early, as only limited
number OF ad vertisements will be inserted.
henissued, the pamphlet will be sold at
the uniform price of l5 cts per copy.

Church and State.

Now that President GRANT has
thrown down the gauntlet, we may
expect earnest discussions of the re-
ligious question. The "GoD in the
Constitution party will make as bit
ter fight against GRANTS Message
as tue most Jealous Catholic, and he
is apt to be the cause of violent bick-
erings and strife among his own re-
ligious followers. The first intima-
tion of the impending storm we find
in the Christian Statesman, the Re-
formed Presbyterian organ, and an
advocate of Republicanism. 1t is
pointed hit, and We republish it to
show what religious Republican or
gans expect. 1t reads as follows:
The Thanksgiving Proclamation OF the
Pres dent contained no allusion To Jesus
Chris, through whom, alone, acceptable
worship, either individual or national, can
be offered TO God. In this respect, IL resem-
bled nearly all similar documents issued by
our State and national Governments. But
the Proclamation of Governor Pacheco, OF
California, quoted by our correspondent IN
another column, is II novelty i'll literature.
1t is studiously worded to be as acceptable to
the atheist as President Grants Proclama-
tion is 10 the Jew. He who has no God To
worship Is politely called to meditation, ana
the Christian people of California are invited
to unite with atheists and pagans, in II joint
exercise OF so-called"Thanksgivlng, under II
Proclamation whose utterances are allowed
TO rise no h higher than the sentiments of athe-
lists can be expected to follow. In other
words Christian State abjures its own right
even to name the name of cod because some
ofits inhabitants deny His being This Is
admitting the right of a minority 70 prohibit
any expression Of sentiments with which
they do not agree.

WASHINGTON, Dec. lO.-The Cabi-

time in discussing the speech of q IL
Henderson, delivered in summing up
on the Avery tiial m behalf of Gov
ernment, and the following dispatch
embodies the result:
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE,
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Dec. 1875.
TO Hon. d. p. DYER, L. S. ATToR-
NEY, ST. LOUIS, Mo. : The sworn re-
port of Mr.. Henderson's speech for
warded by Mr.. Eaton and referred to
by both you and Mr.. Henderson in
your dispatch of yesterday as correct
report, was read in full Cabinet to-day
AMI was regarded by every member as
an outrage upon propriety, to thus
reflect without shadow of reason Oh
the President, by whom his employ
ment by this Department was sane
toned in order that no impedment
might be placed in the way of bring
ing to speedy punishment every de-
frauder of the revenue at st Louis.
You will advise Gen. Henderson of his
discharge from service, and secure in
his place the aid of the most able and
efficient council you can find, without
regard to his politics.

Pacific Cables.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-The follow
ing is full text of the Telegraph bill
introduced by Senator Spencer in the
Senate on Wednesday last
A bill granting to Cornell Jewett
and his associates charter right for
Telegraph Ocean Cable communica-
tion between the Pacific coast, o. S.,
and Asia. Whereas it is proposed
to lay cable from the continent of
Europe to New York and other points
of the Atlantic coast, and connection
with the Pacific Ocean cables is neces-
sary; therefore, Be it enacted by the
Senate and House of Representatives
of the United States of America in
Congress assembled, That Cornell
Jewett and his associates be and are
hereby granted all right, powers and
privileges necessary to lay and use, as
well as operate, Ocean cables on the
Pacific coast of the United States from
some point or points of Asia, touching
at selected points on the Pacific ocean.

The Public Schools.

An immense amount OF responsible
ty depends on our Board of Education.
Several conflicting elements will con-
front them and 1t will require their
gravest deliberation to decide wisely.
Economy will initiate against effi-
cheney, at every turn, and sordid
views may be the rock on which the
Public School system will be greatly
injured. Next to competent teach
'ers the great requirement is strict
discipline and this can only be main
tained. by having a capable and res
ponsible head. A superintendent is
as much required as drill master in
a company or foreman in factory,
and faithless or incompetent direc-
tion of our schools will ruin the efforts
of the best of teachers. The Superin-
teRdent directs, economies and aug
snents the work of the teachers, and
Shat is paid in salary to the response
bic head is Offset by the increased
value of the we'll directed efforts of
the teachers. a divided direction in
school matters would be equally as
fatal as none, for the control Of city's
educational interests must have only
one responsible head. 1t is the duty
of our Board or Education to study
carefully Qua school system and its
merits, compare its efficiency with
that of other cities aud then act, not
from mistaken economy, but prompt
ed by the desire to furnish the Aost
practical education to the masses, at
the lowest possible cost TO the tax
payers.
