Another Bounty GroRl.

CHAELENToN, March II, lS75.
To the Editor Of the National Republicans:
SIR Will you publish this as a protest against
your article in Fridays paper on the veto OF the
bounty bill. / think your article is calculated to
wound the feelings Of a good many soldiers, who
feel that the Government has sighted their
claims and crept out OF its contract with private
soldiers who enlisted in the spring of 1851 for
three years, with the understanding that they
were 10 have 500 bounty. These prIVAtes served
one and two years, and for meritOrious behavior
were commissioned, and at the time they were
discharged to receive a commission the Govern
ment made no threat that the bounty pro missed
would be withheld II they accepted the commits
sion. l am personally acquainted with several
soldiers who served one and two years who sup
posed that under their enlistment or contract
With the Government they were entitled to the
bounty promised, who were punished in this way
for serving two years as priyates and thea ac,ePt
ing n commission.
Yours truly, A. READsF.

For the information of certain ignorant

during his long career in Congress. and
particularly during the last session of the
Forty third Congress, 10 agree with the
policy pursued by THE NATIONAL REruR,
LICAN and sometimes to follow its advice
regarding the treatment of important ques-

The larger proportion OF citizens Of Washing.
ton are as much Interested in any failure OF the
Republican crop asa wool manufacturer Is In
sheep rot. They como to ADJUST all the affairs OF
little Bill Clerk, for example, don't know whether
he can afford bis wife now spring bonnet until
be hears from the New Hampshire election. A
Democratic victory lie the Washington clerks
grasshopper season-and if It is Kept up too long
we shall expect to see appeals TO Columbus and
ether places on behalf Of the Washington suffer-
ers by Democratic victories, asking old clothes on
behalf Of families that have lost their all by the
late election in New Hampshire, or somewhere.
So you see, don't you, that 1t is best to stop this
OOllfhness. and return to the good old fashion of
sending Republican two thirds majority to Con-
gress.

If THE LAW providing for penal servi-
tude in Virginia was not intended to apply
directly to the freed blacks, why was 1t not
enacted before the war, during the exist

frequent q crime then as II is now.

A NEW RESIDENTS OPINION.

EDITOR HERALD: / wish that an
opportunity like that which Mr..
Brooks advertises had been offered me
when | first came to this charming
city. II ! understand him correctly,
he proposes, paymentof 81 900 cash,
TO place the purchaser in possession OF
a good sized lot and handsome
house in one of the very best locations
in the city, the deferred payments be-
| ing so graduated as to seem no more
than an ordinary rent, yet which in
the course of II few years would liqui-
date the entire Indebtedness. | have
lived here something more than a
year. during that time | have paid
about 500 in rent, aud so far as the
purchase of any real estate is con-
corned, am no better off than when
arrived. In fact, have taken just 50
much money out of my own pocket
and put il into that of my landlord,
and have nothing to show for it. Now
if | had been in the position of ptir-
chaser of one of Mr.. BIS houses, |
should at this time have advanced so
far towards the acquisition of u home
stead and been benefited and enriched
quite as much more by the enhance
ment of my property. 1 could, in fact,
justly consider myself $1,000 ahead,
instead of being 500 behind. The
land, according to the value fixed by
owners in the immediate neighbor-
hood, is worth 500 per front foot that
is $1,000 for the lot, and the house
could not have been built for less than
$4,000, for it is substantially construct
ed, furnished with all the modern con-
veniences and is elegant and stylish in
appearance, equal to many of the bet
ter class of residences in San Francis
co. One thousanddollars is not much
cash to pay down-not more than
should be expected in order to secure
the seller The subsequent monthly
payments of $5S 80 are trifling, con-
sidering the end that is thereby at
tanned, with the present prospects of
our city and the increasing value of
real estate which may be confidently
expected. The purchaser may feel
reasonably assured that the property
will be enhanced $50 in value every
month; SO that by the expiration of a
year he will have paid $500 on account
of his homestead, and find that it has
become at least that much more valua-
BILE. AT the expiration of five years,
-hs--~ould have it paid for, and then
own a property worth $4,000 per
haps $4,000. This would, in fact, be
getting the property for nothing; for
every dollar he pays out will come
back to him doubled. 1t is an oppor-
tunity which is seldom offered, and /
should think, every one would hasten
to avail himself of It,

A Rare Chance.

Those four handsome houses on
Main street, offered for sale by w. H.
j. Brooks, can be purchased for $4,000
each, and on the following terms:
$1,000 cash, the remaining $4,000 to be
paid as follows: $500 ut one per cent.
in one, two, three, four or five years,
as the purchaser prefers. $1,000 for
the same term, also at one per cent.
per month, payable in monthly in
stallments of 1913 36, which, at the ex-
plration of five years, would pay the
whole amount both principal and in
terest. Making the total monthly
payment which the purchaser would
have to pay sos 36, being no more
than fair rent for that class of resi-
dence, and with this further advan-
tage that each payment would he for
the benefit of the occupant instead Of

ARTIFICIAL SWAR MING.

AT the late meeting of the bee
keepers of Los Angeles county, Mr..
VIM. Muth- Rasmussen made the fol-
lowing report on artificial swarming:
In my report last year on artificial
swarming, 1 mentioned two methods,
which l. shall here repeat, finding
them to be worthy of practice and not
having found anything better in that
regard.
The first method is this: Suppose
you have two full hives, No. l and No.
2, and an empty hive, No. 3. From
No. take frame after frame, brush
ing back all the bees into the hive, un-
til only two or three frames are left;
and as fast as the frames are emptied
of bees, put them i'm No. 3. Fill up
the vacancies in both hives with
empty combs or frames. Remove No.
2 to a new location, and set No 8 in its
place. The returning bees from No.
will supply No. 8 with a good colony
and will raise a queen; but it will
save time if you can furnish them
with a fertile queen from nucleus, or
give them queen-cell.
The second method is as follows:
Remove q strong hive to a new loca-
ton. Take from this and several
other hives combs enough to fill up a
new hive, and place this OH the stand
of the one removed. Where num-
ber of swarms are kept, this plan may
be used methodically and with benefit
and safety; as by taking two or three
frames from each hive, it suffers very
little at the time, and soon will be
able to give up another two or three
frames, while the new swarm imme-
dately is supplied with full number
of combs and only has to raise a
queen to be as good as any of the old
ones. Respectfully,
VIM. MUTH- H-RAsMUSSEN.

The RAILROADS.

No very positive or well assured i'm
provements in the various roads run
ming from the city can be reported.
The rain and foreboding of more to
come. prevented any effectual repairs
yesterday, and no regular trains were
run to or from the city. The Southern
mail was dispatched to Anaheim on
hand-car, and the San Francisco mail,
after being carried by train as far as
practicable, was forwarded to San Fer
nando in like manner. At 4 P. M. q
light train, carrying Superintendent
Hewitt, Mr.. Phelps, Engineer, and
Mcdonald, Master Mechanic, started
out on the Anaheim road to ascertain
its condition. A break Was found
some distance this side of Downey,
ind the party were compelled to re-
turn. The track between Downey and
Anaheim is badly damaged. About
twelve miles north of the city, on the
San Fernando road, there is break oi
100 yards and some distance further
another of $50 yards. An effort will
be made to-day to put the Spadra and
Wilmington roads in order, and ifpos-
sible make connections with the
steamer. There is no telling when
the other branches can be placed In
operation.

GALL THEY HAVE TO Baae ABOUT. I"

The Sedalia, Missouri, Den,ocra
comes to US with the following notice
of our New Years issue, kindly giving
at the same time a kick at Southern
California:
We are much obliged to our young
| friend, - for q copy of the Los
| Angeles HERALD, full of glowing ac-
counts of that section of California
We have no doubt the climate is genial
and enjoyable, but we guess that is
about all they have to brag about.
| Our brother quill i'm Missouri has
fallen into quite a common error, we
believe, prevalent East of the noun
tains regarding our section of the
State. Still, rs lie has sinned through
Ignorance, we cannot find it ia our
heart to reprimand him very severely.
But this much we would say to you,
Mr.. "Pike": AS soon as you can raise
enough rag dollars from the panic
stricken community of Missouri, come
out and see us (your money will be
good here ut SO cents on the dollar;
we will then show you, beside the eli
mate which we brag about" soil
that is not taxed to its utmost capacity
in the production of "hog and hom-
iny," but will grow grains of all kinds
with nearly double the yield to the
acre that you receive from Missouri
soil. We will show you the orange,
lemon, lime, olive, fig, pomegranate,
almond and every variety of semi
tropical fruit, as well as the peach,
apple and pear, and all fruits grown i'm
more Northern ~latitudes. We have
grapes from which we make wine and
brandy enough to keep the whole pop
ulation Of Missouri drunk the year
round. Besides our agricultural
and pomological products, we
have mines whose wealth would
pay the assessed value of your State,
including all the property under the
Sheriff7s hammer. Our bees make
honey enough to spread all of your
bread and butter an inch thick, allow
ing double supply to hungry editors.
And the climate which we brag about:
While your teeth are chattering with
the cold and your thermometer sinks
to from l00 to 900 below zero, we are
enjoying a temperature ranging from
500 to 60o above the little O-the grass
is growing, the trees are in bud, BIOS
som and bearing. Again, in mid
summer you are baked and parboiled
at ll0o, while we take it moderately
comfortable at 70o to $50. Your fields
are singed with the hot sun and de-
vastated with drouth, and the festive
grasshOpper leaps from sprig to sprig,
while we irrigate our lands, without
depending on the uncertain clouds, and
our expectations are not disappointed.
While you are just beginning to thaw
out in the Spring, We are eating our
fully matured oranges, picked fresh
from the trees.
Yet these are not all the things we
have .to brag about" brother Pike;
this is only an inkling of them.
We have lived in Missouri; we
lived there about ten years-and we
know whereof we speak. The compar-
ative merits of the two countries
Missouri and Southern California--are
well known to us, and we can only
commend like experience to you.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1875-01-27
Santa Barbara in a Dilemma.

Here is situation for Santa Bar
bara. The City Council refuses to re-
peal the ordinance compelling Mr..
Stearns to pay license on his wharf,
Mr.. Stearns refuses to have it repaired
until the ordinance is repealed, and
the city is suffering. A dispatch has
been sent to Goodall, Nelson & Co.
not to ship any more freight for this
port, as it cannot be landed at either
wharf. Freight has already been car
ried by, with numerous disgusted pas
sengers who could not see the beauty
of landing in surf boats, and the citi-
zens are divided in sentiment, as to
whether the Council or the wharf
proprietor shall be taken out and
iynched; but nothing is done to re-
pair the damage. There is talk Of or.
ganizing company to build a
new wharf Immediately, but even If 1t
is anything more than talk, 1T will take
months to complete the arrangements
and build the wharf, and in the mean
time the damage to the city will be SC
great that years cannotrepair 1T.
It is not the amount of the license
that Mr.. Stearns objects to, but the
principal of paying any license on q
business that benefits the city more
than it can ever benefit himself, while
the Council having passed the ordi-
nance will not repeal it at the dicta'
ton of any individual, and neither
will make the slightest concession.
If the wish and the great need of the
people can have no effect on either
side they would better take the mattel
into their own hands, and If they can
not purchase the wharf from its pres
ent owner and repair it, erect anothe
with as little delay as possible.-Press

Anaheim Items.
[From the Gazette of January 23d.


Although more rain fell in shorter
time than has been known for several
years, the Santa Ana river was but
little affected by it, having been ford
able the whole time.
A few days ago little son of Judge
Johnson, of Santa Ana, whilst attempt
ing to cut rope loose from the neck
of q pet calf, cut himself across the
right eye. The wound did not appear
to cause much pain, but it has resulted
in the entire loss of the eye.
Mr.. Robert McFadden, who was in
town yesterday from the Santa Ana
settlements, reports that Gospel Swamp
was never so dry after rain as it is
now. 1t is mystery to the citizens
of that usually very wet locality where
the water went to. One thing, how
ever, is certain-it didn't remain on
top Of the ground.
Last week son of Mr.. Bush, of
Santa Ana, and grandson of Hon, A.
l.. Bush, was playing with a broken
whip-stock and fell down with it in
his hand. The sharp and Jagged end
of the stick struck squarely in his nos
tril and passed thence through the eye
into the brain. The boy fingered in
pain for two or three days before death
came to his relief.
The rain storm played ''smash" with
the railroad, washing away culverts
and in different places sOftening the
embankments SO that they could not
bear even the weight of the ties and
iron. On Sunday morning the train
came as far as Coyote Creek, but from
that point the U. S. mail and the more
venturesome passengers did the bal
ance of the journey on a hand car. A
force of men was scattered over the
road as soon as the weather would per-
nit, and the damages have been SO far
repaired as to allow the passage of
hand-cars with mail matter, ETC., yes
terday as far as Sproules' Station, on
this side of New San Gabriel river,
where they were met by one of the San
Diego coaches, by which the first mail
of the week was brought through. 1t
is expected that trains will be running
on time again early next week.
