The Governor Senator.


There appears to be a determination
on the part of a number of journals to
coax, wheedle or drive Governor
BOOTH to vacate the Gubernatorial
chair and don the Senatorial toga be-
fore the expiration of the time for
which the people elected him their
Governor. The extra session of the
Senate is the argument they are using
to bring about the desired result. 1t
is doubtful if the Governor will yield
to wishes which appear to have their
origin in the political aspirations of
certain politicians. 1t is whispered
that Lieutenant-Gover PACHECo
is candidate for Governor. If this is
so, we do not believe his claims would
be enhanced by being Governor from
now until December next. He has
made an excellent Lieutenant-G Gov
ernor, and is popular from one end of
the State to the other. There is an
other wheel within the Gubernatorial
machinery that deserves more serious
consideration. The resignation of
Governor BOOTH will make WILLIAM
IRWIN, President pro tenn. of the Sem
ate, Lieutenant Governor. He is a
candidate for Governor also, and one
of the old fogy Democratic leaders be-
sides. If he can wear PAcHECo's boots
for eight or ten months he will wear
them out in laying wires for his own
election. Both BOOTH and PACHECo
are aware of this, and as it is probable
that the Governor would like to see
his Lieutenant succeed him, they will
carefully weigh all the circumstances
whether to make IRWIN Lieutenant
Governor would not strengthen him
more than it would aid PACHEco to
be Governor for few months. Ifcon-
suited, the people would, beyond a
doubt, prefer that the Governor should
remain where he is until the close of
the term.

CITY AND COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER.
The vagaries Of Statesmen.

The antagonism the Texas Pacific
bill and the friendly feeling toward
the Pacific Mail subsidy, as manifested
by the California delegation in Con-
gress, gives rise to the thought that
some consideration other than the
prosperity of the State influence those
of our Senators and Congressman who
oppose one and favor the other of
these propositions. We learn by tele-
graph that the California delegation
has presented memorial to the Com
mittee on Appropriations, the purport
of which is asking a continuation of
the Pacific Mail subsidy. The chief
purpose for which this subsidy is ex-
pended is in bringing Cinnamon and
Chinawomen from Hongkong to San
Francisco. The result of passing the
Texas Pacific bill would be to build a
railroad which would reduce the
freights, open up and populate broad
and rich section of the country, and
pour heavy immigration of honest,
respectable, Industrious, Christian,
white men and women along the Pa
cific coast; yet, while our delegation
goes as a unit for the pagan subsidy, a
part of them--SARGENT, PAGE, CLAY
TON and HoUGHToN-are known to be
opposed to the Christian subsidy. This
is curious, to say the least of it. We
know that San Francisco wants the
China trade-all the Chinese land
there-and we know that large pro-
portion of the money paid to the Pa
cific Mail in the shape of subsidy is
spent in that city. Still, it looks odd
to see party of Christian gentlemen
favoring scheme to encourage pagan
immigration and opposing an enter
prise designed to fill their country
with people of their own color, faith
and habits. A few hundred years
hence statesmen and philosophers will
puzzle their brains over the volume of
Congressional proceedings in which
they will find recorded this anamolous
conduct of the California delegation.

A Rare Chance.

In common with the general desire
among landowners to give new
comers chance, our friend w. M.
Williams has decided to sell off part
of his city property. He advertises to
dispose of at auction ON next Friday,
forty-eight of his lots down on Sixth
street, near the end of the Spring
Street Railroad. These lots lay with
in about one mile of the center of the
city,. They are beautifully located
and so selected that the future owners
will never be to the expense of street
grading. Standing on this property
one obtains a fine view of the valley
stretching far away to the ocean beach,
The entire tract is divided into forty
eight fine building lots and all will be
sold at auction on the day above
named. Here is chance to secure

Los Angeles daily herald., 1875-02-27
May Make a Mistake.

We offer a word of warning to a
number of Los Angeles rich men.
They have not as yet taken dollars
worth of stock in the Los Angeles and
Independence Railroad, and the indi-
cations are that they do not intend to
assist the work in any way whatever.
They argue, as we are informed, that
Senator JONES and his associates will
build the road anyway, and therefore
there is no reason why they should
take stock in it. Just here we will tell
these Los Angeles dogs in the manger
that while they are refusing to aid in
building this road themselves they are
pursuing the very policy that will pre-
vent others building it. At the outset
Senator JONES made known the con-
ditions on which he would build the
road. He said If the people would SUBJ
scribe 100000 he would furnish the
remainder. The 100000 is a mere
drop in the bucket compared with the
total cost of the work, and next to
nothing when looked at in connection
with the immense advantages the road
will secure to this city and valley.
But less than $500, 900 of the 100000 is
subscribed, although the canvassers
have been diligently at work for some
weeks. Suppose the amount is not
raised, is Senator JONES under obliga-
items to us to build the road? Ger
tainly not. We fail in our part of the
contract, and our failure releases him
from all obligation IN the matter.
But" say these miserable clogs to
progress and improvement, "Senator
JONES' interests are identified with
this road; he needs it and will save
money by building it," This is Sc
rious, and it may prove a fatal mis-
