Congressional News.

WASHINGTON, March 3d.-Congress
devoted most of the day to work on
the Appropriation and Deficiency
bills.
In the House, the bill to admit New
Mexico failed.
Sheridan of Louisiana was seated
and Pnchback excluded. M
The bill for the admission of Colorado
was passed.
The River and Harbor Appropriation
bill, as it goes to the Committee of
Conference, contains the following
items, allowed by both Houses, which
cannot therefore be touched by the
Committee, and will become law, un-
less the bill fails entirely: 500, 900 to
the Oakland harbor; $4,000 to the
San Diego harbor; $4,000 to the Will
mington harbor; $4,000 to the Sacra-
mento and Feather rivers; $4,000
for the Columbia and Willamette riv-
ers.
The Coolie bill now goes to the Pres
ident for approval.

Growing Necessity for Wharf at Truxton and
Railroad Connection.

The practical operation of business
is the best test of it's utility.
The Ventura, on her last trip, ran
aground in the mud of San Diego Bay,
in the morning, and did not get off
until night. She then ran up to the
wharf, discharged and took in freight,
and left the next morning about
o'clock.
In the meant%aeew aght the On t te rain Of
Tuesday, were carried into the bay
and camped on the Kalorama until
early Wednesday morning in most
uncomfortable condition, and gener-
ally down on Los Angeles. The Ven-
tura arrived at San Pedro aoout 6
o'clock, when the little boat from Will
miDgton came out to within pistol
shot of the Ventura, turned around and
towed back a schooner, leaving the
San Diego passengers,quite a number,
to wait for the O'clock train, although
they would have been in time for the
8 o'clock train, had the railroad
steamer taken them, as she was bound
to do.
Nowit isquite plain that the agent
OF the Steamship Company should
have telegraphed the railroad agent
when the Ventura would leave, and it
was equally the duty of the railroad
agent to ascertain that fact, and at all
events, there can be no doubt, that it
was the duty of the Wilmington
steamer to have taken the San Diego
passengers up so as to meet the train.
1t has been observed for some time
that the railroad is taking very little
pains to accommodate the public. It
has a monopoly of the landing at
Wilmington, and charges three prices
for freight and passage to the anchor
age. Without some efficient opposi-
tion the railroad will practically close
the so-called port at Wilmington, as
soon as 1t can compete its connection
with San Francisco, and force freight
that way, as much as is in its power.
The only remedy for this abuse is
the wharf to deep water at Truxton
and a railroad from thence to Los An
geles. This will reduce freight and
fares and enable the farmers to ship
their produce to San Francisco at liv-
ing prices. 1t will also produce steam
er opposition and thus reduce ocean
freights.
The steamers will be able to run
alongside of the wharf at Truxton and
discharge and take in freight, so as
not only to reduce freights in price, but
put freight in Los Angeles day SOON
er than by the Wilmington route. The
Truxton improvement is of quite as
much Importance to the people of Los
Angeles as the Texas and Pacific Rail-
road. 1t is the duty of our citizens,
especially Of our farmers and mer-
chants, to take hold of the Truxton
enterprise, finish our complement of
stock by rapid subscription, so that
the work itself may be rapidly con-
cluded. Without this opposition in
transportation, the farmes of Los An
geles will not be able to ship barley
and corn to San Francisco in years of
plenty.
1t has been demonstrated by the ex-
pertinent at Santa Barbara that a
wharf to deep water will resist the
ocean. Ifsteamers and sail vessels can
land freight and passengers at such a
wharf, which is not doubted, it will be
a superior port to that of San Diego,
and more easy of access.

lTY AND COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER.
.....MARCH s, 1875.
Test Him First.

We notice disposition on the part
of several journals to condemn Sena-
tor BOOTH before trial. This seems to
be ill-timed and unwarranted. He
made Governor of whom we can all
afford to be proud. AS Senator he
may, and we believe will, reflect credit
on his State. But whether he will or
not, it is in bad taste to attempt to in
fluence people at home and prejudice
them against him abroad by pretend
ing that he will fail before we know
what he will do. He goes to Wash
ton as United States Senator from
California, and California journals
should not be the first to attack him.
Politics compels men and newspapers
to say unkind things of their oppo-
nents, but neither one nor the other
should so far become the slave of
party prejudice that they will attack
without cause and judge without trial.
BOOTH is our Senator and we should
speak well of our own until a regard
for truth compels us 10 speak other
wise.

Unity Of Action.

In the course of his remarks at the
railroad meeting on Wednesday eve-
ming, Colonel J. G. HOWARD touched
a point which is worthy the consider
alton of every citizen of Los Angeles.
He said that want of unity-of con-
cert of action-was the great drawback
to the prosperity of our city. The
Colonel expressed a truth-a lament
able truth. A jealousy, as unwarrant-
ed as it is unwise and injurious, is ap-
parent in the actions of many of our
leading citizens. 1t is an unworthy
feeling, which, while it circumscribes
the influence of those who indulge in
it, adversely affects, to great extent,
the growth and prosperity of our
beautiful city. We do not know, nor
is it our purpose to inquire, who is to
blame for this. The feeling has, per-
haps, grown up like rank and noxious
weeds from seed which no one planted,
from soil which no enc watered. 1t is
enough for us to know that it exists;
and to know that it exists is all tn at
is needed to inspire the efforts of all
good citizens toward its removal. A
house divided against itself stands on
sandy foundation and no city is BEN
Gifted by internal dissensions. In
nothing is the truth of the maxim,
"United we stand, divided we fall" so
strongly verified as in the prosperity
or decline of city that has attained
no greater dimensions than Los An
geles. If we would see what may be
done by community that under
stands the advantages of united action
let us look at the city of Sacramento.
She has been sorely tried. The
scourge of fire and flood has been laid
on her often and with heavy hand,
yet she stands to-day fifteen feet above
her original foundation, large and
prosperous city. Had her people been
torn by dissensions and divided by
jealousies and chickering's, she would
have ceased to exist, or existed only
as a ragged, muddy village, whose
Sleepy Hollow monotony would only
be disturbed by the periodical floods of
the Sacramento and American rivers,
But ON everything pertaining to the
good of their city those plucky and
energetic Sacramentans have ever

The End OF a Struggle.

The election of SYDNEY DILLON,
President of the Union Pacific Rail-
road, JAY GOULD, OLIVER AMEs and
ID. ID. COTTON officers of the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company, is the sig
nal that the old company have hauled
down their flag and surrendered to
the railroad companies. There is but
one cause ofregret connected with the
event, and that is the probable ad-
vance in freight. The Pacific Mail are
not entitled to the sympathy of the
people. They have labored more for
subsidy than for patronage. With
one donation from the National Treas
ury, they bribed Congress to grant
them another and still larger dona-
ton. Their legitimate trade they
considered as nothing, and spent the
peoples money in lobbying for more
of the peoples money. Ifthe railroad
companies are wise. we have no need
to mourn the death of the Pacific
Mail

. The Value of Property.

That was strong argument made
by Colonel PEEL on Wednesday eve
ming when he told the real estate own
ers of Los Angeles that If they built
the Independence Railroad they would
double the value of their property, and
by their refusal to build the road they
would depreeiate it to one-half its pres
ent valuation. 1t may be set down as a
fact for the olidanca of rnoi ce+c :
dealers that unless we do sometnihg "
enhance the value of our land u GER
...,, ,,.;li ~. 49, ...uvli above the
present figures, and it may decline
until the purchasers of this year will
find themselves without margin for
profit. This something that will so
far prevent decline in real estate that
it will send it up to the figure named
by Colonel PEEL, is to build the rail-
road. The effect of the road will be
instantaneous in Los Angeles and all
over the valley. In fact the results will
be general and satisfactory. The
wealthy real estate men of this city
who have subscribed to the stock of
the road will find that they have made
a paying investment, entirely outside
of their interest in the road.

strength.

Congress has adjourned and to-day
the Senate will convene in extra ses-
sion. The people have some slight
reason for rejoicing over the first
event. With the adjournment went
out large number of Congressman
who will never more occupy seats in
the body of the House. They were
expensive ornaments, and what with
their railroad subsidy proclivities,
their Credit Mobelier interests and
their back pay inclinations, they have
cost the country immense sums of
money-much more than their SER
vices were worth. They have left the
Capital for the country's good. The
complexion of the next House will,
we think, be more comely than of the
one just adjourned. 1t will be Demo-
cratic, though we do not wish to be
understood as assuming that this fact
is guarantee of improvement. Aside
from politics there is higher stand
ard in the character of the men.
When many of the retiring members
were elected, the people were using
an inferior article of Congressional
material. They had found better
timber when the new members were
chosen. We have reason to hope that
with the assembling of the next Con-
gress will be inaugurated measures
tending to relieve the people Of the
heavy burden of taxation under
which they have struggled so long
and, considering the CALLING nature of
the load, so uncomplainingly. The
extra session of the Senate will do
nothing of serious import and there
fore we may regard the country as
safe, for time at least.

WASHINGTON, March 1st.-Pengra
OF Oregon has failed to obtain rec
ommendation from the Interior De-
partment for a bin proposing to grant
indemnity. scrip in lieu of lands
claimed by the Military Wagon Road
Company, but included in the Kla-
math Reservation. He therefore
withdrew his contingent proposition,
and the project may be considered
dead for this session.
Luttrell to-day introduced bill
amending the act of July 26, 1866, so
as to allow the ditch-owners to take
from public lands such timber, stone
and gravel as may be necessary to
repair bitches and reservoirs. He
also presented resolution of the Ne
vada Legislature, praying for modi-
fication of the Burlingame treaty so
as to prevent the importation of coolie
labor.

the House Committee to-day, contains
an item of $S, ,269, in accordance with
Clayton's bill, to reimburse the city of
San Francisco for expenditures for

stood and acted as one man. They
have accomplished wonders, and TO
their credit be it said they have at
tanned the great results of which they
are SO justly proud, by their own united
efforts. Los Angeles has never felt
nor is she threatened with the calami-
ties that have visited Sacramento.
But we have canker that should be
removed. We must, if we would pros
per, stand together. Los Angeles may
become great city or she may remain
as she is--a large and prosperous town.
1t is for her people to choose. Wecan,
