Unity.

The Democracy of Los Angeles
may we'll be proud OF the action of its
convention, held in this city on the
4th of August. The ticket presented
by that body, for the support of the
party, represents integrity, ability and
worth. 1t combines many elements
of ofstrength, and is of such nature as
to produce the best of good feeling and
the most harmonious action, on the
part of the leaders as we'll as the rank
and file of the party. We have now
a ticket to which all can give their
most cordial adherence. Its success
seems to be assured. It is evident this
early in the fight that the Democracy
Of this county are more united, and
more determined than they have been
for many years past. They thorough
ly understand the nature of their ene-
my. They see in this unholy and
unnatural alliance between the Dolly
Warden party of two years ago-and
the old line Republicans, an earnest
effort, to grasp every source of local
power and to render this county sub
servient to the will of the Radical par
ty. The Democrats must stand firm,
and with "long pull, and strong
pull, and pull altogether" oppose to
the end, this effort of their old enemy
in new garb. Let every man on the
ticket consider his pledge and his en-
dorsement of the party platform, sa-
cred to him. Let the motto be "Unit-
ed we stand, Divided we fall" and
with the principles of the Democracy
as his guide, let every candidate while
making his own fight, make his BROTH
er candidates fight also. The success
fthe party depends on harmonious
action. There are no contending fac
tions, no jarring elements, no discon-
tented sore heads. Unity and harmo-
ny every where prevail. Let them
continue and Los Angeles county will
on the lst day of September, raise a
glad shout of rejoicing, that the true
spirit Of Democracy has again mani
tested itself In her people.

NEW YORK, August 11th.-Erie has
rallied from the decline of a quarter
yesterday, arising from the pressure
to sell. Pennsylvania Railroad shares
are sold at 46. This is attributed to
the unfavorable rumors concerning
the coal trade in Pennsylvania. The
fall in Pennsylvania Central is shared
by the Philadelphia and Reading
Railway, which is quoted at 49a. The
fall of three per cent. in the Philadel-
phia and Reading stock is the event
of the money market. 1t is attributed
to causes arising from the coal trade,
and has had the effect of producing a
flat and dropping market.

An Unpleasant Companion.

We Americans who live under "the
best government the world ever saw
many years ago fell into the habit of
regarding every government not pure
ly Republican in form as tax-burden-
ing people depressing in the extreme.
England we regarded as strongly ad-
dicted in this way and our sensational
lecturers and humanity writers had
much to say in the way of exciting
sympathy for the down trodden poor
of her majesty's Kingdom. We are
not informed that it was in conse-
quence of the essays by American phi
lanthropists that Queen VICTORIA sent
a competent person over here for the
purpose of comparing notes on Gov
ernmental expenditure, but certain it
is that she took that step. Mr.. j. P.
HARRIS GAsTREL spent some time in
the United States looking into the
matter and his report has been laid be-
fore Parliament. He went into the
subject in detail and found that the
revenues of towns and counties for Ii
censes and fines amount to nearly one
hundred million dollars annually.
This sum comes from the people yet
we are apt to overlook it in making
up our estimate of the cost of govern
ment. Adding this to the revenues
from taxation we have figures to show
that the cost Of government, general
and local, for the year 1873, is one
hundred and eighty-two million dol
lars greater than the cost of the gem
eral and local government Of Great
Britain for the same period of time.
This ought to check the flow of tears
which we are in the habit of shedding
over the heavily taxed Englishmen.
The following comparative statement
will serve to show the people Of the
United States how recklessly and ex-
travagantly their substance it wasted:

OUR evening cotemporary, the Er-

show q great deal of opposition to
Democratic candidates, both State

ent by profession, and opposed to the
Democracy because it is Republican.

London Failures.

New YORK, August 1lth.-A Lon
don special says that,Sha & Thomp-
son, engaged in the iron trade, have
failed. Their liabilities are estimated
at El20, 900, and it is believed their as
sets will not net more than e50,OO0.
The announcement of this failure and
the anticipation that other failures
may take place, has given a dropping
tendency to the market.

Borrowing Money.

Borrowing money upon the instalment plan
s attended with these advantages: The loan
can be repaid in small monthly amounts
which include the interest and part OF the
principal, so that by the expiration of the term
ii Can be all paid without any great inconven-
fence to the borrower; the rate OF Interest Is
generally lower; the expenses of obtaining
loans, and If it is borrowed upon good paying
property then it often happens that the rents
will meet the monthly instruments and In
time pay Off the debt.

The Treasury Changes.

RETIREMENT OF GENERAL sprNNER-THE NEW
TREASURER AT THE HEAD OF AFFAIRs.
WASHINGTON, July 1.-All tho money in the
Treasurers office is now being counted. About
one hundred and twenty-five ladies are engaged
in the business in several rooms. The count is
superintendent by gentlemen especially appointed
for that service. 1t is estimated that the money
aggregated about s6o,000000, each separate
note passing through the hands of the counters.
All this money is to be rscounted before it is
transferred to the new Treasurer, who entered
upon his duties to-day. Many friends of Gen.
eral Spinner, tho retiring Treasurer, called up
on him this morning to take leave His retira-
cy seems to be regretted by the employees of the
bureau more than by other parties, some Of
whom including ladies, will be removed by the
new incumbent. Colonel Frank Jones, Assistant
Cashier, is the first to feel the effect OF the
change. His place is temporarily supplied by
Mr.. Guthrie. The bond of Mr.. New, the
Treasurer, is for Sl50,000, his bondsmen being
citizens Of Indianapolis, including William II,
English. The Treasury Department is disturb
ed in every part, owing to the changes in office
and removals under the provisions Of the act
providing for the general reorganization.

THE BEECHER TRIAL-THE JURY AMI
PUBLIC OPINION.

Now that the jury is in, what shall we say OF
the Beecher trial There is no verdict except
such ~ proceeds from the fact that nine out of
twelve considered Mr. Beecher innocent, only
one-fourth of the men who wore sworn to justly
decide on the evidence considering that Mr.. TIL
ton had made out his case. or itself, although
no formal verdict could be delivered this great
preponderance OF Judgment in his favor is
substantial victory for the defendant, and NOR
tifying defeat for the prosecutor. TIlton start
ed out to crush Mr.. Beecher. With every in
strument to accomplish that purpose, he has en-
tirely failed in it. II nine mon out of twelve
had considered his evidence conclusive it would
have been q substantial justification for him, but
nine men out Of twelve judge that he has not
made out his case, and so Mr.. Beecher is sub
stantially justified.
Besides the Judgment of three-fourths OF the
Jury, the disclosures in relation to the infamous
conspiracy Of Loader and Price affect the public
mind very seriously. The manufacture of their
testimony WAS supervised by Tilton's counsel,
and Mr.. Moulton has had his hands 30 close to
the perjury that his fingers are almost burned
in ths explosion. People ask, and not unrea.
sonably, whether more of this work was done in
ant, and whether the perjury of Loader and
Price is the only false swearing with which Mr..
Moulton has been connected.
The great case, however, has now reached q
resting-place. There may be more Of it or not
1t can hardly be possible that such a trial viii
ever be repeated, either at the suit OF Titon, OIL
otherwise, and it is hard to see how, if the mair
question is gone into, any trial could be much
less in its proportions of testimony, argument
and pleading than the one Just closed. If
therefore, the case does not again como into
court, public opinion must be shaped from the
appearance it now presents, and people viii
widely and earnestly differ, as they have done
in their Judgment as to the guilt or limo
cence of Mr.. Beecher. For ourselves We
regard him, il not triumphantly vindica
ted, at least measurably successful in his de
fence. Tilton has not proved his charge, has
not made out his case. By the theory OF onr Law
and the only safe theory Of any laws-we re
gard all accused persons innocent, unless theil
guilt is demonstrated. No tuch thing has beer
done in Mr.. Beechers case, and We hold hin
legally and morally clear Of the charge. He hat
passed through fiery furnace and has not beer
consumed. There is, no doubt, the smell Of fire
on his garments. He has been scorched. His
reputation and usefulness have suffered. He il
not the great man he was in former years. The
fact that large number Of people
believe him a dishonored and guilty mar
shears his imperial strength. This il
sad to say, but undeniably true. 1t throws upor
the future therefore, the further disclosure oi
the truth. In the order Of Providence in may
well be that all that is now in doubt will become
plain and certain, and that the innocence of MIR
Beecher will be perfectly established.
