The Pico House.

The reorganized Pico House, under
the management Of Messrs. Cuyas *
Swales, has beome popular establish
ment. 1t is the most admirably ar
ranged hotel in California, combining
as it does every advantage of ventila-
ton and light, az well rs being fur
nished elegantly throughout. The
house is provided with central court
which furnishes light for every room,
also securing complete ventilation;
and this court Is made beautiful by
| the introduction of fountain, orna-
mented by q cascade and with its clear
waters filled with goldfish and other
curiosities. Tropical vines, rose BUSH
| es, grape arbors and other vegetation
| thrives here, making the court an ele'
| CANT and attractive resort. The house
| from cellar to attic has been renovated
and refurnished in a style OF metro
| politan neatness and completeness.
| The parlor is resplendent in Brussels
carpet, French plate mirrors, elegant
| pianos, striking pictures, and the finest
| velvet furniture, making it acceptable
| to the most fastidious. The chambers
| throughout the house are furnished In
solid walnut and handicapped sets,
and the floors laid with the choicest
! Brussels and three-plys, while the win
dows are hung with graceful festoons
of lace. Private bath rooms and other
| conveniences for ladies and gentlemen
are on every floor of the house, and
| clothes closets are in almost every
room. The principal dining room, la
dies ordinary and private dining room
are furnished with all modern cOn-
veniences. The kitchen will be COM
plete in every particular, and will be
| presided over by an experienced
| French cook. The office, wash room,
| telegraph office and private party room
are convenient and attractive. The
| saloon and billiard room will be one
| of the cOmpletest in Los Angeles, and
| will no doubt be an attractive place
| for outsiders as well as the guests of
| the house. AS whole the house is
In a central position at the head OF
| Main street, overlooking the City Pla-
"a, and affording charming view OF
the mountains, and cannot fail to
draw the travelling public. Messrs.
Cuyas & Swales have one hundred ell
egantly lighted, fully ventilated and
luxuriously furnished rooms, either
single, double or en- suite, which they
offer to the public. The taste of the
proprietors is shown in elegant furni-
ture, in neat appointments and in 9TH
er pleasant features, which go to make
the popular hotel homelike and not a
! mere shelter We believe the Pico
| House to be the commencement OF a
new era in hotel business, and the
public welcome the well kept house.

THE SCHOOL QUESTION.
The Democrats I'm Congress and the
District of Columbia Taking
the Initiative.

NEW YORK, December ia tele-
gram from Washington says the Demo-
Gratis are generally accepting the idea
that they should fall in with the Presi-
DENTS suggestion of a constitutional
amendment prohibiting support of Sec
tartan schools out of public moneys, and
at a meeting of the Democratic associa-
ton Of the District of Columbia,
Friday night, the first step to-
ward such g movement was taken,
by the introduction of resolutions
stating that the free school system of
the United States is the brightest star in
tbs galaxy Of the republic, and that on
its maintenance and perpetuity de-
pend the present and the future of the
American people. That the Democratic
party always has, and all times here
after, will resist all attempts looking to
division of the school fund, no matter
for what purpose; that the Democratic
party has been, Is now, and always will
be in favor of free schools, free press,
free speech, free trade, and gold and sill
yer as the only constitutional money of
the nRtiOn-paper money being the ille-
Ultimate offspring Of the Republican
party. 1t is well known to the nation
ct large that the only fatal blow Ever at
tempted to be struck at the free schools
OF this country was by the Republican
party in congress, when it endeavIrac; 10
mix white and black children in the sams
schools; no State shall make any law re-
specting an establishment Of any reIi.
gion or prohibiting free exercise there.
OF, and no money raised ty taxation for
the support Of public schools, or derived
from any public fuuG therefor shall ever
be under the control Of any religious
sect, nor any money so raised ever be
divided between religious seets or de.
nominations.

ROLLING FORK RIOT.
Its Origin as Detailed by an Eye-Wft
ness-Bad Negroes Altogether to
Blame.

VICKsBURG, Miss, December II -
The following account of the origin of
the riot at Rolling Fork, in Issaquena
county, Mississippi, is obtained from q
gentleman just from there, who was
present at the time on Saturday night,
November 9th. A party of ne
groes hal assembled at the village
and were drinking and carousing.
O4e OF them pushed youth whom
he met in the street to one side, using
rough language at the same time. The
youth responded with a pocket-knife,
INJECTING q scalp wound on the negro, and
then fled to store for safety. The ne
groes became very much exasperated,
and vowed vengeance. To prevent this,
warrant was obtained for the youth,
charging him with assault with intent to
kill, but before it was served the negroes
broke into the store and beat young
Laird severely with an iron bar, and
finally one of them shot him in the
thigh. At the report Of the pistol the
negroes ran, but the whites, who had
begun to assemble, fearing o general
riot, pursued them and captured ten OF
them, and taking them to the village
placed them in q storehouse and put a
guard over them. During the night one
OF the guard, who was not on duty at
the time, came out on the porch with a
gun on his shoulder. He was ordered awav
by the sentinel on duty. As he moved
his gun, which was cooked, it struck
against the window and was discharged.
The negro prisoners thinking thew Were
fred upon, stampeded, and the guard
opened up indiscriminste firing, wound
ing two Of their own number and two o,
the negroes, all slightly; but the prisoners
escaped that day. Sunday the most in
tense excitement prevailed there, as it
was le, + ed that Noah Parker and
ATtLuf Books, two notorious negrt es,
HeIe trying to organize the negroes for
the purpose Of assaultiDg the place, and
that the whites Were trying to organ
ize under Rev. Mr.. Bali, q Baptist
minister, who arrested Brooks and Par
ker, aud Ia an attempt Of the negroes to
rezcue them, the encounter reported last
night occurred. =

Cured, scattering death and terror on

that it was the steamtug which had
exploded, but it was afterward dis
covered that in the luggage OF one OF the

dropped and the conclusion caused the
explosion. The loss of life will be very
great. Many were terribly injured. The

tbs question Of church taxation be-
longs to the States. So thinks Me
present and so thou ght the last congress.
The lste government OF Washington, In
casting around for objects Of taxation,
induced the committee on the District Of
Columbia to recommend the imposition
Of tax upon church property, the vain.
alton Of which was set down at about
three million five hundred thousand
dollArs. When the bill was reported 10
the house Of the csty-thlrd congress,
Mr.. Randall moved a substitute exempt
ing all church buildings from taxation,
which was unanimously agreed %. No
Republican In the house, as will be seen
by the records, made an objection or
called for 6 division on the question.
Grant evidently forgot that fact.
