The First Gums.

The campaign for the next prosi,
dehcy opened in Pennsylvania last
week with the declarations of the re-
publlcans Of that state, and theexpecta-
ton which listened to hear the echoes
of the first gun in the centennial cam.
paign was somewhat confused by the
circumstance of the gun shooting OIL at
both ends. After prnising the admin
islrntion of Grant AZ about the periec-
ton OF an administration, and after
expressing such an appreciation of his
personal and public worth Ms denoted
him to be the very best man for n
president, the convention virtually de-
elarcd that Its language was entirely
PlckwiclSian by affirming It's adhesion
TO " that mwritten law of the repub.
lie which makes preference to the third
term folly Il necessary sort of platform
wisdom.
Tomorrow the Ohio republicans arc
TO meet and declare themselves, and il
IL understood that they will come out
even more squarcly and emphatically
against the third term. That Is to say,
instead of shooting their gun off at
both ends, they are going to plug up
the muA2le, so as to make certain OF
the discharge from the breech. This
II, perhaps, an Improvement on the
Pennsylvania plan; but we cannot
help wondering why able-bodicd re-
publicans, In full possession of their
senses, should not adept the further
Improvement of firing or their cannon
boldly IN the natural way, and leaving
the third term nonsense severely alone.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
AGAIN.

Should u majority Of the voters of
the state decide that u constitutional
convention ~ TO no called, of which
there IL little doubt, II h quite certain
In the present conservative temper of
the people, that ultra views ana OK
pcrlmcnlOl tnmperlng with well cstab-
lishcd principles, will have little place
In the deliberations Of tho convention.
In fact, there will be little moro TO do
thanIto rcenoct the constitution we had
before the war, with such mod ilicnlions
as may bo necessary to put II In accord
with our changed relations with the
negro race, and some provision for tho
encouragement of emigration.
Uf Without both labor aud capital, our
vast natural resources must remain
undeveloped for years to come, and II
strict watch ought to be kept over
theorists and crude doctf{ndircs
TO prevent the Introduction ofany per-
nlcous provision that would discourage
the one or drive the other from the
state. Nothing would more surely and
ellectually do this than any tnmpor-
ing with the rights Of corporations, ac-
quired 10y solemn compcd with tho
Legislature Of the state. The wild he0
that these contracts are subject to re-
vision by the legislature, without the
consent ofthe other party, II carried
into elect by conetlinlionhl proVis-
ion, would strike II fatal blow to the
prosperity Of the state, 1t is just here
that cautious and thinking men feel
most apprehension and before we
can consent 10 cast Our votes for any
candidate for the constitutional con-
ventlon, we must have the most une-
quivocal expressions from them on
this point.
We know nothing of the opinions of
Colonel Mccoy, Major John Henry
Brown and Judge Ferris, the only
three candidates who have yet an
nounced their candidacy, ON this sub
ject. With sound views on this point
all three would be well qualified to rep
resent this district. Tho two first named
gentlemen have spent the larger por-
ton Ola generation in this state, and
have had large experience in public
affairs, and in both the framing and
in the execution of the laws. The
same may he said of Judge Ferris. We
believe, although we have 10
personal acquaintance with him,
they are gentlemen of integrity
and culture, and would do credit |
to any constituency, But the people
OF this district will do well to have n
distinct understanding MS to their
views In advance on these and other
Important questions.
Again, what are your views ON the
usury laws? Our columns are open to
you, gentlemen, for any declaration of
principles and views you may think
proper to lay before the people of this
representative district.

LONDON, May 3l.-In the house of
lords, this evening, Earl Russell asked
that the correspondence between Great
Britain and the continental powers
arising out of the recent war alarm be
laid before the house. The earl of
Derby, minister of state for the foreign
department, replied that he sympa-
tized with the curiosity of those who
had watched the course of foreign af-
fairs during the last few weeks. The
government desired to conceal nothing
II had done, but 1t would be impossible
TO give fair account without largely
using confidential communications re-
lating to the policy and opinions of
other governments who would object To
such disclosures. The publication of
these communications would prevent
the English diplomatlsts from receiv-
ing information in the future, and to
submit a mutilated correspondence
might mislead the house. The causes
of dispute were liable to recur, there
fore 1t was not desirable in the inter.
ests OF peace to give publicity to the
details Of the controversy. Lord Derby
then proceeded to state that persons
highest IN authority in Berlin of lnte
openly declared that the French army
had become source of danger to Ger
many, because its magnitude showed
q determination on the part of France
to renew the war. That Germany in
might feel COMPEL
ed to strike the first blow
10 secure peace, and that
II was necessary that the French army |
should be considerably reduced. This |
language, repeated by German repre-
sentatives here and elsewhere, created
extreme uneasiness In France. The
French government Immediately dis.
claimed all warlike intententions,
Lord Derby said he accepted this dee
, !, as entirely sincere. He be-
l,eveu no statesman In France contem-
piate9 renewal of the war. France,
alter ner humiliations, naturally de-
s,reu 70 nave an army which would
give her the influence 10 which she
considered herself entitled. One ofthe
was that the French were
unable TO conceive that the German nm.
prenenslons were genuine. They ra.

Germany as a pretext for a fresh way

Senatorial Commission to Mexico.

We see it heralded through the tel
egraph and Press throughout the coun-
try that Congressional Committee,
headed by Senator SIMON P. CAMERON,
had been appointed to proceed to Mex
leo, and that National vessel had
been detailed to convey them thither,
but for what purpose is not officially
announced. The Press, however,
jumping at conclusions, say that 1t is
for the purpose of negotiating the pur-
chase of another slice of Mexican ter
ritory, and that so important is the
mission that Vice-President WILSON
would accompany it "were it not for
his biles." This announcement has
caused trifle more buzz than similar
reports during the past decade that
committees of Congress had been ap-
pointed to visit, during the recess,
various portions of the country, osten-
sibly to inquire into and report at the
ensuing session upon the moral, intel
lectual, agricultural and numerical
condition of the country, but in reality
to spend their holiday at public ex-
pense. Some three or four years ago
huge committee was appoint
ed to visit this coast, at the

The Small Farm Movement.

The great drawback to the settle
ment of California heretofore has been
and to great extent is yet, the own
ership of large tracts of our finest
farming lands by single individuals.
These large landowners have refused
to cut up their lands and sell to actual
settlers, and hence small farms could
not be obtained. Not only this, but
these large tracts Of unimproved lands
convey the impression to Eastern peo-
pie and even to those who have lived
long in the State, that the lands are
unfit for cultivation or they would be
occupied. OF late Southern Califor-
mia has taken the lead in cutting large
ranches into small farms, and the Sac
ramentO Record Union urges other
portions of the State to follow our ex-
ample in this small farm movement.
Among the movements in Los Ange-
les county to make fiourishing farm
ing OuU vi ollCcp IduS6S,
Artesia stands first and foremost.
The first sale established the nucleus
and the second sale, to commence to-
day and continue three days or more,
if necessary, will place every acre in
the Artesia settlement in the hands of
men who will either commence inn
provements at once, or sell again to
some one who will. The people can
not pay too much for this land, as
every acre can be irrigated and thus
good crops secured every year. Dur
ing the dry seasons the irrigated lands
are the most valuable, as then good
crops pay the best. Those who miss
the Artesia sale this week will live
long before they find another such
chance to get so good lands on so easy
terms.

An English Curate in Trouble.

LONDON, February 25th.-The Rev.
Hubert Williams, curate of the Es-
tablished Church and married man,
has come to grief and shame He
formed an improper intimacy with a
peasant girl of his parish; and one
night, after spending some time in her
company in the fields, he gave her his
watch and chain, worth about "a. On
his return his wife asked him what
had become Of his watch. He replied
that he had lost it and she insisted
that u reward should be offered for it.
In a few days the watch was found in
a shop where the girl had sold it, and
she was arrested for the theft. The
clergyman had the wickedness to
come into court and swear that he had
not given it to her; but the girls
statement.was plain, it was corrobor-
ated by a number of witnesses who
had seen them together, and after a
trial lasting several hours the jury ac-
quilted her; thus branding the rever-
end gentleman as not only lewd but
lying man.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1875-04-06

head of which, il we mistake not, was
the ever smiling SCHUYLER CoLFAx,
'ostensibly to inquire into the CONNER
cial capacity of the bay of San Fran
cisco and rumored irregularities in the
Custom Houses and Revenue Offices
of the coast, but in reality to have a
jolly time at Government expense
"dnring VACATION Who ever heard
of these "reports" except through re-
ceipts at the Treasury for their ex-
penses? No one. And this committee
to Mexico, headed by SIMON 2, CAM
ERoN, is of the same character. These
patriotic r. gentlemen wanted some
amusement during vacation, and Cape
May, Long Branch and Saratoga being
"played outn they chose the field of
Mexico for that purpose, and straight
way made the fact known to the Pres
ideut and Cabinet, who tresolved" that
they deemed it necessary that a COM
mittee be appointed to proceed at once
to Mexico, and a man-of-war be de-
tailed to convey them thither, but for
what object, as before stated, has not
yet transpired. Probably to officially
inquire into the mysteries of the tor
tiltd, and in what manner they are
utilized aS substitute for spoons in
eating fryoteS! In their zeal they
may want to inquire further into
Mexican habits and social lIfe-how
the pretty Senoritas manage to un-
dress and bathe in Lake Texcoco, be-
fore assembled thousands, without ex-
hibiting the slightest indecency. Let
us anticipate the report and tell how
it is done. They congregate on the
margin of the lake in great numbers,
sit down and modestly uncover their
feet, and step in till the water reaches
their waist, when they suddenly drop
down, and for half minute you see
nothing but lady's dress floating up
on the water. About the time sus-
pense becomes painful, up pops her
head at distance of fifty or one hun
dred yards away, when she strikes out
and increases the distance like a
mythical mermaid on the home-
stretch, with her long glossy hair
trailing in her wake. No doubt
scenes like these are very exhilarat
ing, and calculated to warm even SEN
atorial blood, if not cause the festive
SIMON to elevate his voice and sing,
"Would were b-hoy again."
These grave Senators may also inquire
into, and probably get some practical
experience as to the distance and fa-
cility with which the larassoni of
Mexico can project vermin, through
reed, upon the unfortunate Gringo
who refuses aims. No doubt full re-
port on these matters would be emf
nently valuable to the President and
his Cabinet, particularly if read under
the inspiration Of bottle of " Widow
Cliquot" and interspersed with Came
roman anecdote. But we fear the peo-
pie may say, "'Fhis is paying too dear
for the whistle" We have, however,
some hope in the climate. Yellow fe-
yer and black vomite prevail at Vera
Cruz, and there is a possibility that
this commission may return decimat-
ed, II not vermin infected.

EDITOR HERALD:-The attention
of breeders and raisers of fine
stock is called to the valuable
acquisition to the stud of the bay
stallion Echo, owned by L. HI. Titus,
Esq, of Dew Drop Rancho, in your
county. Echo is a cherry bay, with
black points, fifteen hands one inch
high, eight years old. He was sired
by Rysdyk's Hambletonian. Dam
the noted mare Fanny Felter, by
Magnolia (he by American STAR, g.
D. by Hector, and by reference to
Wallace's Trotting Register of 1874, it
will be seen that this horse has more
crosses of blood direct from imported
Messenger than any one now living.
1t does not cost any more to raise a
fine colt than 1t does mustang, and
although some may look at the first
outlay (of service as very expensive,
yet when they have raised colt that
at four years old can readily be sold
for $1,000, they are convinced of the
propriety of breeding to the best.
This horse has no borrowed pedigree
but one that is endorsed and vouched
u,
Budd Doble, o. A. Hickok, Captain
johnson, Alexander Ely, and many
others here, claiming him the Ham
bletOnian of this Coast. Among the
many gentlemen who bred last season
to this horse, and who would do so
this season if he was easy of access,
may with pride mention the follow
ing, who are owners of some of the
finest mares in this State, and all Of
whom have foaled, or are in foal,
proving beyond doubt that he is a
sure foal getter: d. o. Mills, George
CongdOn (tiie owner of the noted mare
Henrietta, for whose colt he recently
refused $1,000 ten days old) S. L..
Mastick, Augustin Guerrero lowner of
Jenny Noyes, who has horse colt by
this horse), Henry Mitchell, G. Chase,
Messrs. Lux g. Miller, Charles Low,
Judge Green of Stockton, Alyinza
Haywood, Messrs. Slosson, McCrack-
en-, Graves, Marsh, Murray, Price, and
many others. All of the above gen.
tlemen are anxious to breed again to
this horse, and hope L. H. Titns may
be induced to stand him in this vicin-
| ity next season. | have a Patchen
mare in fOal by him, and recently re-
fused the sum of one thousand dollars
for the colt, when five months old.
The stock raisers and breeders in your
county should embrace the opportun-
ity now offered, and raise colts that in
time will not only be a great pecuni-
ary gain, but improve the stock
throughout your section and induce
all to enter into a lively competition
as to who shall have the best Hop
ing you will tinda space in your very
valuable paper and help advance the
interest in stock raising, / have the
