Political Power of the South.

The present political condition of
the United States is likely to restore
to the South her former position in
public affairs, and elevate her great
statesman to the controlling positions
at an early date. In the next Demo
cratic National Convention the rep
resentatives of the Cotton States will
come forward with clear and decided
views upon the leading questions of
the day, and from states that with
onlytwo exceptions) will certainly
give large Democratic majorities.
Their fellow representatives from the
North will be divided upon many inn
portant questions and have diverse
opinions upon the proper candidate to
put in the field. The Northern DEM
ocracy will also be burdened by the
grave errors OF the two last campaigns
when the South stood silently by and
suffered tn cir Northern friends to de-
stroy all chances of success. A united
South then will hold the balance of
power, ard while it will not ask for
the nomination of a Southern man for
the Presidency it will cast its vote for
man of undoubted integrity and
clear record, and will vigorously OPP
pose any such selections as was made
at the Cincinnati Convention. In the
formation of the platform too the
South will have controlling voice.
The cotton States unanimously desire
speedy return to aspecie basis and
oppose protective tariff. Their rep
resentatives will therefore vote for the
ancient principles of the Democracy
and will undoubtedly settle the two
great questions.

The Plague,

Science is doing q great deal in the
way of robbing ''Providential vista
tions,n of their terrors. Some two
hundred or more years ago the plague
swept the city of London and claimed
its victims by the thousand. Death
stalked through the streets, striking
down the young and the Old, the rich
and the poor and people knelt and
prayed God to remove, the infection
that was whitening life. Ignorance
and religious fanatism imbued these
people with the belief that the VIOLA
tion of law of nature-that disease
engendered by filth and imperfect
sewerage plague sent upon
them as punishment for their sins.
Mark the result of intelligence and
scientific research. This same plague
makes its almost daily appearance in
London during this the latter half of
the nineteenth century, but it does not
depopulate whole districts nor are the
streets filled with people praying God
to remove the pestilence. 1t breaks
out here and there and the number of
the stricken are few indeed. 1t is
called Typhoid Fever now, ,and when a
case is exported the doctors take the
place of the priests and within two
hours the authorities are notified that
a pipe has broken in certain locality
and the sewage escaping in well or
cistern has produced typhoid fever.
The cause is removed and the effect
is the early and total disappearance of
the "plague." With the same gross
ignorance and like imperfect sewerage
that existed during plague days in
London that city would now have
''Providential visitations' which
would sweep thousands out of exist
ance. The doctors-those old heads
who not only study the disease but
are equally dilligent in searching for
its cause-have placed humanity un-
der heavy debt of gratitude. What
apity the advice of these genuine
GALENs is not more fully acted upon
especially here in Los Angeles.

A Theory.

Judge NICHOLS who has resided in
Los Angeles for the past twenty-five
years informs us that at no time with
in that period has he ever seen the wa
ter so low as now in the springs
which break out along the West base
of the hills between this city and San
ia Monica. A number ofthese springs
which have heretofore lived the year
round are now entirely dry. The
Judge has theory by which he ex-
plains this phenomena and while We
do not require that all shall accept his
position as correct even if they cam
not disprove it, we think it sufficient
ly plausible to afford food for thought.
The Judge assumes that the San Fer
nando mountains are the source of all
the springs which break out along the
base of the hills above named-that
from great underground reservoir
in these mountains the water flows
through subterranean passages be-
meath the San Fernando valley and
rises to the surface in Los Angeles
valley or in the sides of hills which
fringe it on the North. Now he ac-
counts for the decrease in the volume
of water flowing from these springs in
a way which has not probably sug-
gested itself to any one else. 1t is
known that an immense volume of
water has been tapped in the North
end of the San Fernando railroad tun-
mel. The flow is so great that three
large steam pumps though kept con-
stantly at work are barely equal to
the task of keeping the water from
the workmen. The water thrown out
by these pumps runs off to the North
and finds its way into the Santa Clara
valley. Judge NICHOLS holds that
this water is so much taken from the
reservoir which feeds our springs and
hence the reduction in the volume.
The North end of the tunnel is higher
than the South end and when the
work is completed the water will flow
Southwark but as it comes out of the
tunnel on the surface it is not proba.
BILE that it will again reach the chan.
nels of which the springs are the out
let. If the Judge is correct the Sar
Fernando tunnel has permanently
reduced the supply of water which
feeds the springs along the base o.
the hills between this city and Santa
Monica.

The Strength of our Banks.

On the Pacific coast banking has
been so remunerative that it has at
tracted all the wealthy men of the
section. Behind the banking corpor-
ations of California are many millions
of substantial wealth. so that the mere
stock subscriptions to these institu-
tions are Insignificant compared with
the resouces available in an emergen-
cy. Under these circumstances our
banks are necessarily stronger than
any in the United States. The advan-
t ttage of list of rich stock holders has
been well illustrated in the case of the
Bank of California. Such men as
SHARON, MILLS and others, had the
strength to raise the institution from
the earth, and restore it to its pri stine
vigor. They could afford to put in a
few millions more to save their previ-
Gus investments, and obvious busi-
ness principles dictated such a course.
The same results will follow in all
similar circumstances. The depositor
therefore who puts his money in
charge of bank backed by wealthy
owners or stockholders is assured
against loss. He may feel confident
that unless some universal calamity
overwhelms the entire community,
the bank will be kept afioat. The two
leading banks of Los AngeiAs county
have proportionally stronger backing
even than any bankin San Francisco.
OF course we do not pretend to claim
that our leading citizens control as
much wealth as 90 the millionaires- OF
the metropolis, but their fortunes are
proportionally greaterwhen compared
with the limited liabilities of. our
banks. The Los Angeles banks lend
mainly upon the most substantially of
al forms of wealth-real estate-each
dollar loaned being secured by mort
gage on property worth two dollars.
But If they had not a single collateral
the private fortunes of the owners of
the banks is ample to satisfy the most
timid. The stock of the Farmers and
Merchants.Bank is owned by such men
as JOHN G. DowNEY, I. w. HEILMAN
CHARLES DUCo,IMUN, Don ,AMEsTOY,
G. E. THoM, F. LECoUvRIER, CRIs-
TIAN HENNE; MATHEW KELLER II.

GRIFFIN, A. GLAssELL, J. M. HE'LL
MAN, GEO. HANSON, ]. G.. G. LEE,
DAVID SLowMAN, THos. E. Rowan.
Messrs. TEMPLE and WORKMAN are
gentlemen of great wealth, owning
vast quantities of the choicest proper
ty in this section, both city aud coun-
try. The aggregate realizable wealth
of the men who stand behind our 1o-
cal banks cannot be less than FIVE or
six millions of dollars, or about five
fold the entire liberalities.

The Massachusetts Republican state
Convention.

WORCESTER, Mass, Sept. 29th.-
The proceedings in the Republican
Convention to-day were generally har-
monious and characterized by consid-
erable enthusiasm, alth ough it is said
there was much wire-pulling and that
the delegates elected in favor of Adams
worked to promote the interests of
Rice, while Loring's supposed friends
lacked energy and drifted in the same
direction. 'ss - sttit. tts''ss- -
Rice was nominated for Governor on
the third ballot. From the first in
formal to the third formal ballot,
Rice's gain was gradual until he re-
ceived the necessary number of votes
to secure his nomination. The nomi-
nation was received with the usual
amount of applause and enthusiasm.
Horatio b. Knight was nominated as
a candidate for Lieutenant Governor,
Charles Endicott for State Treasurer,
Henry l.. Pierce for rSecretary of State,
Julius l.. Clark for Auditor and Chas.

More About the Dead Dor.

EDITOR HERALD:-Last nights Er-
press contained Marshal Carillo's card,
Indignantly refuting charge of neg
lect of duty laid at his door in my
yesterday mornings communication
about an undated nuisance on Re-
quena street.
If the Marshal will be kind enough
to re-peruse my article, he will find
that | stated that the dead dog lay in
vacant lot on the corner of Requena
and Wilminton streets, and that |
never said anything about the animal
lying in the street. ....
The facts of the case are simply
these, that early on Monday morning
the poisoned dog was found lying in
that vacant lot. That the chain-gang
being at work in that immediate vi
cinity, their captain was told of the
existence of the nuisance. That as
nothing had been done till about noon,
personal application was made at the
MarshaPs office. That this official not
being present, Mr.. Kremer, the City
Clerk, occupying the same office,
wrote notice apprising the Marshal
his desk to be attended to whenever
he came in. That nothing being done
during that day, at the opening of the
Marshals office the next morning
another reminder was made which
Mr.. Kremer, the Marshal being again
absent, promised to bring to his i'm
mediate notice, and very likely has
done so. That the Health officer has
been sought out in his office, but could
not be found, Mr.. J. w. C. Buchanan
promising to notify him whenever he
came in. That the agent for the sale
of the vacant lot, Mr.. Potts, has been
notified, who declined to have any,
thing to do with the matter.
DO you think, Mr.. Editor, that after
having done all this l could do any
more? Was it my obligation to seek
and hunt up the Marshal? Is not the
Marshal's office his proper place of bu-
siness? Is it not the Marshaps duty,
if unable to be personally present, to
have some one at his office attending
to his business? w. H. MOORE.

opened a general store for the'conven-
fence of the neighbors, and, it is to be
hoped, his own benefit also. The
same gentleman is also sinking an
artesian well within one hundred feet
of the track, and, as we heard, has
struck water at the depth of 120 feet
which rises to the surface, and expects
in day or two to reach a plentiful
supply. With the new station here,
so long talked of, and the establish
ment of postoffice, this little spot
will soon form quite respectable vii
