A FATALITY seems to follow up the
blockade-runners, confederate-bond spec
ulators, and other men who made money
out of the southern rebellion. Duncan,
Sherman & Co. belonged to this crew,
and found the hussses profitable that
they ranked f. sssas near re : I'd OF
the New Tasrk usoney marAs. Now
their fast horses and splendid carriages
are being sols OF i.g f'se Sheriff at low
prices. Alex. Collie, one of firm OF
English spectators who on $5OO,OOO
capital succeeded in running about $lO,-
100000 into debt, mostly by fraud, and
has quit the country under criminal in
dictment. was another vulture who
fattened on the miseries of the people Of
the United States. He got very rich out
of blockade-running but there are now
none so poor as to do him reverence, and
the British government offers $1,000 re.
ward for his arrest.

IT is said that Judge Van Colt, of
Brooklyn, was defeated for the Republi-
can nomination for attorney general Of
New York State because he was Til
TOM man. Mention is made of letter
received at the Springs ON the eve of the

his correspondent that the nomination of
Mr.. Van Colt would cost the ticket 90

Brooklyn.

16,449. The gross capital invested in
these railways is e609, s95, 931-an amount
nearly equaling the whole of the British
national debt. The number of passen-
gers conveyed in 1874 was 447,940,41
and the receipts from passengers 81, 0l4,-
3l9. The total receipts were e59, 255, 715,
and the whole working cost of the roads,

passengers in England travelled in first
class coaches; IL per cent. in Scotland,
and 1.5 per cent. in Ireland. The rail-
ways had in the aggregate IL, 235 loComo-
tives and 379,lS90 carriages.

POSTMASTER GENERAL JEwELE got
around a Texas 'straw;bidder" nicely.
The contractor for a weekly mail SER
vice between Ell Paso and Fort Concho,
at $500 per round trip, failed to fulfill
his contract, expecting that, as usual, a
new contract would have to be made at
advanced rates, when the man who was
behind the 'straw-b bidder" would come
forward. In this case, however, Mr..
Jewell made an arrangement with Gen.
Ord, commanding the military depart
ment, by which the latter agreed to send
his courier with the mails twice week
for 5000 per month, to be paid to the
War Department, saving of 81 400 on
the contract Of the ''straw-bidders''

"sponging" on Newspapers.

Every man thinks a newspaper fair
game. If a society or any body of men
get up a concert or a ball, or other form
of entertainment, the object of which is
to put money in their pockets. or if the
proceeds are to be devoted to charitable
purposes to add to their own glorifcation
they become very indignant if the pro-
prietors of q newspaper do not assist
them by series of gratuitous advertise
ments for several weeks before the event
takes place. These gentlemen should re-
member that literary men in this practic-
al age, work for money as well as for
fame-principally the former, however,
and the business manager of a newspa-
per, if he wishes to keep on the safe side
of the ledger, conducts his charge on the
same principle as the head of any other
business establishment. People who are
getting up a ball would feel chary of ask
ing present of a pair of gloves from any
merchant on that account, yet asking
and expecting to receive gratuitous ad-
vertisement is similar demand. The
editor of the Marlboro (Mass.) journal
states the case very plainly when he in
forms bis readers that, I'VE long ago
adopted the plan of charging our regular
reading notice price for all editorial an
nouncements of entertainments to which
an admission fee is fixed We make no
exception to this rule. In the way of
news topics we freely and gladly insert
sketches of all entertainments after they
haye become matters of history 1t is
only the preliminary work, looking to
the drawing out of increased patronage
from the public, for which we expect
compensation"

An amusing story is told of Geo. Childs,
of Philadelphia, who takes great pride
in showing his establishment to visitors.
He had passed through several of the de-

when, on opening the door, there lay a

the imposing stones, who did not appear
to be in perfect order. The disgust of

Our San Francisco dispatches say
that business men are confident that
the financial panic which now seems
imminent In the East will not be se-
rlously felt on this coast. A slight de-
preston will of course be visible, but
1t is not probable that it's effects will
be noticeable in the legitimate branch
es of trade. 1t is fortunate for Cali
fornia that the cricis has been reac he'd
In the East. The steady demand for
money In New York and the high price
of gold tended to drain San Francisco
of her gold, and had this depletion
continued for some months longer and
failures In the East followed as they
most certainly would we should have
felt the crash to seriousi if not disas
trous extent. AS the trouble ha.
come thus early it will be less severe
in New York and we shall escape the
consequences almost entirely.

and the travelling public will find an
interesting advertisement in the HER
AID of this morning. 1t comes from
the Southern Pacific Railroad Com
pany and announces heavy reduc-
tion in the charges of freights and
fares. General merchandise will now
be brought from the anchorage at
Wilmington to this city for two dol
lars and half per ton. Fare between
this city and the anchorage at Will
mington is reduced TO fifty ceuts-a
reduction of four fifths. Freights of the
character enumerated In the adver-
tisement are reduced to one dollar and
fifty cents per ton between the anchor
age and the city. This action onlthe
part of the Railroad Company is one
of vast Importance to the people of
this city and valley. 1t will save us
many thousands of dollars annually.

Ii appears that Bristow has been maxi
ing appointments in the Treasury
Department, without consulting its
head, and Morrison, on his own au-
thority, has been making dismissals.
New stood it as long as he could; but
a day or two ago he determined to
stop il, or throw up his office. He
went TO see Bristow, who began to
reason with him as to the wisdom of
the course that had been pursued. The
Treasurer failed to see the force of the
Secretary's logic, and with much
feeling told him that he either must
have entire control of appointments
in his office, or that the Treasury
would be vacated at once. The result
was that New was the victor. To-day,
however, he again became little bel
licose because the Secretary transfer
red Jas. Gilfillan, his cashier, TO the
office of Chief Clerk, and it was done
without asking the Treasurer and he
did not like it. This little unpleasant
feeling, however, can be bridged over
without any serious result. The fact
is that New is disgusted with public
life. He is rich enough to be inde-
pendent, and he means to be; but it is
pretty certain that he will relinquish
the Office he holds rs soon as he can
do so without embarrassing Secretary

tional attention they would receive
from their teacher they would advance
as fast in their studies as they now
do by attending all day. Three hours
per day is amply sufficient time to
compel child of the average age
found in primary schools to apply it
self to study Suppose class of one
hundred pupils is divided into two
classes of fifty each, one of which is
taught three honrs In the forenoon and
the other in the afternoon, 1t seems to
us that though the teacher would be
required to remain in the school room
an hour or so longer each day, the re-
suit would be more satisfactory to par
ents, pupils and teachers than under
the present system. We may add
that on the half time plan only half
the quantity of furniture is required
that is used on the all day system.
On this subject A. c. SHoRTRIDdE Of
Indianapolis, Indiana, writes to DR.. w.
T. LUCKY Supt. of our city schools as
follows:
The halliday attendance with primary
children was first inaugurated in the India
napolis schools in 1868. For a while there
was some opposition 10 1t, but for five years
do not recollect a single criticism OF the plan.
In n few cases parents have expressed Il de-
sire to have children attend ali day, but in
almost every case, you could discover that
the real desire was To have their children out
of their own way all day rather than half
the day. / could not return To the old sys-
tenn II there was no lack OF room. Their
progress was always satisfactory.

THERE is an interminable war be-

MoNToN is the head man Of the Asso-
ciated Press telegraphic reports and
some years ago the Post man was
sent East as telegraphic reporter for
the San francisco Herald. The Wes-
tern Union then owned the only
wire across the continent and of course
SIMoNToN soon pinched GEORGE out.
From that day to this GEORGE has
been after SIMoNToN i'm season and
out of season. Now and then SIMON
TON comes back with squelching
rejoinder which convinces all that
GEORGE knows no more about tele-
graphing than he does about editing
newspaper. SrMoNToN represents a
contemplate monopoly but GEORGE
would have been in the monopoly
long ago If he could have got there.

A Chapter o; Runaways.

Yesterday evening about 6 o'clock,
as Mr.. Hartmann, with his wife and ba-
by two years old, were driving along
Second street. near the corner of
Spring, he and his wife were dragged
from the buggy by rope attached to
an unruly horse, led by a boy on
horseback. The buggy horse, having
no driver, started at a terrific pace to-
wards Fort street, turning that cor
ner then around Third to Spring,
along Spring to First, on First to
Main and along Main towards the
Court House. All this time the two
year-old baby kept on the seat, in an
almost miraculous manner to the
spectators. AS the horse neared the
Court House, Deputy Sheriff Burdick
attempted to stop it, but missed the
bride, and the work was done sue
cessfully by Spencer Reynous, butcher
for Gabe Allen, who held the horse
with an iron grasp. The baby was
returned unhurt to its almost frantic
mother, who was carried home in "A
fainting condition. kMr. Hartmann has
a severe cut in the neck from the rope
and we regret to hear that Mrs. Har-
mann is delirious and dangerously i'll.
About half past o'clock yesterday
afternoon a buggy, occupied by two
men, turned the corner of Commercial
street, at Los Angeles, too rapidly,
and they were thrown out, the buggy
wrecked and mare injured.
Both of these teams belonged to
Campbell's stable, and he is certainly
a fit subject for coincidence, after such
q run of bad luck.
