INDIGNATION MEEiiSuS.

An Indignation meeting was held a!
Cooper's Institute i'll New York City on
Monday evening which is said to have
been one of the largest and most enthu,i-
astic meetings ever held in that city.
Speeches were made by WIN. Cullen
Bryant, VIM. NJ. Evarts, J. s. Thayer,
VIM. E. Dodge. George Ticknor Curtis,
and ex Gov. Solomon. The President
and Gen. Sheridan were severely censur-
ed for the part taken by the military at
the assembling Of the Louisiana Legis-
lature.
A similar meeting was held at St.
Louis the same evening. Although not
so largely attended as the one at New
York, the St. Louis meeting was more
bitter in its denunciation Of the admiE.
istration and Gen. Sheridan, and was
especially severe upon Sheridan for the
kilograms he sent to the Secretary Oi
War. Copies of their resolutions were
ordered to be sent to the President, to
the Congressman from Missouri and to
their unhappy friends in New Orleans.
These meetings are all we'll enough for
these who kn0w that the administration
has committed fragrant outrage, and
for those who oppose the administration
in everything, but they help but very
little in getting at the true situation and
have as little influence upon the actions
of Congress and the President. The re.
port of Gen. Sheridan and the statements
of his friends and his enemies have gone
before the people, and those who support
the administration, as rule, endorse
the actions of Gen. Sheridan and those
who oppose the administration denounce
them.
The report of the present investigating
committee is awaited with interest.
This committee consists Of Foster OF
Ohio, Phelps of New Jersey and Potter
of Illinois, Republican, Liberal and
a Democrat. They have had every IA
cility for learning the actual state of af'
fairs in Louisiana, and if their report
shows that the President has stepped be-
yond his authority and used the military
for the overthrow of the legal State
government and the oppression Of that
people, then let the people not only hold
indignation meeting but demand through
their representatives in Congress that
this unlawful use of the military power
cease now and forever. But on the 9th.
er hand if this committee should assure
the people that there does exist in Lou.
isiana such q state of affairs as is re-
ported by Gen. Sheridan in his dispatches
to the War Department and as shown by
the President in his special message to
the Senate, then there will be equal
cause for indignation meetings, and fol
demanding of Congress that it guarantee
to this State Republican form Of gov
ernment in which the laws shall be
obeyed and life and property made Sc
cure.

Bard thinks that Los Angeles can be

little attention to neatness and taste

experienced ornamental gardener and
florist can make little paradise out

Mr.. d. w. Fitzpatrick, who was so
unfortunate as to be in the last fire on
Main street, understands the mould of
form better than any tailor Los Ange-
les has ever had. With him the dress
of man becomes fine art, and with
his correct ideas and elegant taste he
has given satisfaction to all the fash
ionables of this city. There is a genius
about Fitzpatrick's work, such as the
artist uses in draping the figures in a
fine painting, and he has attained
great distinction in dressing the
human form divine.

Honey for the Million.

A few days ago, as one of our friends
was taking stroll through the Cath
olic Cemetery in company with his
wife, he discovered wheelbarrow
smeared with fresh honey. On push
ing his investigations still further he
found man in disused burial vault,
busy shoveling out honey, which he
piled into the wheelbarrow and
wheeled away. The man said that
was his third load, and the supply
was not half exhausted. Our
friend took O look into the
cavity and saw festoons of honey, fall
ing in beautiful folds from the roof and
sides of the depository for the dead.
The deserted vault had become safe
resort for the bees, and for years they
had stored their sweet deposit, to at
last become the prey of man. After
such an occurrence, surely no one will
be disposed to question that California
is a land overlooking with milk and
honey

are the successors of J. l.. Ward, at

composed of Mr.. J. L. Ward, an active
and enterprising business man of this
city, and Mr.. S. Prentiss Smith. late
of st. Louis, where he was engaged as
broker and banker. These gentle
men make strong firm, and we ex-
pect to see their trade sales Of staple
groceries, etc., become marked feat
ure of business in Los Angeles. Their
connection with manufacturers East
will enable them to offer goods away
down close to jobbing prices in the
East, having made special rates on
many staples in general use. Their
trade in wool, grain and produce will
be very large, as their warehouse adj
vantages will be of the most extensive
character. Orders for Eastern goods
promptly attended to, and cOnsign-
ments handled to the best advantage.

A Chinese Case in Court.

The case of Win Sing, charged with
assault with a deadly weapon on All
Yung, was tried in the County Court
yesterday. The prisoner, whose alias
is Quakee, was dressed in black
blouse, check pants and the other Chi
nese accompaniments, and his trial
was attended by Al Cinnamon in
black, blue, white and lead colored
blouses, slippered and booted, pimpled
and scrofulous, ranging from the
bleached, pale Mongolian to the
smoked copper-color. Some of the
Johns evidently had been out on an
opium bust, or bad been playing Chi
nese poker all night, and were just
taking a little recreation in witnessing
the trial of the unfortunate Quakee.
All Foy and All Won were sworn,
American fashion, as Interpreters, and
All Foy administered the oath in Chi
nese fashion to All Gin, All Dun, the
prisoner and two others, who took it
amidst the squawking of half-dozen
Spring chickens, just ready for the
sacrifice. All Foy explained that be
swore them "same white man, tell
story, go San Quentin, same go to hi
to white man, tell story cuttee chicken,
cuttee him same.o
The witnesses then started for
the street, where spectators and
jury followed, and, in front Of
the Court House on Spring street,
the crowd formed ring, with
the Chinese interpreter and witnesses
in the centre. After short chant from
a document that probably graced a
Chinese fire cracker box, and lecture
from japanese tea label, each wit
ness chopped chickens head off with
a little cleaver, the blood flew, the
chickens kicked, the crowd scattered,
and the witnesses returned to Court in
triumph. The chickens, which were
to fly TO heaven with the Chinese per-
jury, if there was any, were left lying
in the street, as the boss swearer NUT
tered, "Chicken no goodee." A China
man, in explaining the ceremony, said,
"Killee chicken, Chinaman swear
hard;' and their evidence afterwards
justified the statement, and the attor-
neys were thankful that each man
killed only one chicken, for the slaugh-
ter of two might have doubled their
swearing ability. AS witness, John
Chinaman is success, but it is pity
for the poor chicken.
