The Democrats had quite festive and
dccorous Notification under the auspices of
the Manhattan Club, of New York, on Tues
day evening. We are glad to see that the
complaint put up by the adversary is that
they made no reyelatiou.' That's it. Those
present had no right TO make q revelation"
The triumphant party of November was not
exclusively Democratic. 1t was grand
combination of honest men to drive out the
thieves. When the victors meet in their
official relations it will be known what the
opposition or Democratic policy may be.
Thus far our respected contemporaries on
the adverse side have learned from the con.
querors show not to do it." Aud that leads
exactly to the way show to do it." If we
say things shall not be done in dishonest
way, does not that imply that they shall be
done in an honest wayp And if wesay that
there shall be tolerated no disrespect to the
Constitution, docs not that mean that the
Constitution must be respected1 Indeed,
the chow not to do it" teaches very logi.
cally "the way to do it,"
We trust that the opposition, Democratic
or not, will contioue to be "as wise as SER
penis and as harmless as doves" Things
will come right under this serene policy.
The coils are closing about those amlable
people, the Radicals, and if the defenders Of
the country only adhere to good sound COM
mon sense, and suffer themselves in no way
to be inveigled into folly, the result will be
acompete defeat Of the schemes of the cor
rupt Radicals, and happy conclusion to the
thrilling political drama We are now playing,
and the exposure and punishment of the
evil genius that has SO long vexed the State
and the people.

LoUIs1ANA.-We invite attention to the
speech Of MIR. MARI, of New Orleans. What
he says about the Returning Board and the
spirit Of the people of Louisiana will be
read with interest. We have little appre.
hension about Louisiana. We think pru.
dence will govern the Conservative people
there, and that even il there should be vic.
Ience there it will be violence provoked By
such outrages aud injustice that the world
will exouerate the wronged for endeavoring
TO maintain their rights as civilized people.

A Gentle Bronco.

The other day a member of the
Orange Grove Association purchased
quiet, gentle bronco, to use in plow-
ing among the young orange trees. On
Saturday we saw that same bronco
flying up Main street at Oecident
speed, with the side Of house attached
to his hackamorc. The man who has
discovered the art of manufacturing
whisky, old Tom, gin, and sundry
other beverages so cheaply that they
can be sold at one cent per drink, and
leave large margin for profit to the
retailer, happened to be holding forth
just then to a large audience of SAM
piers in front of "The Bankn build
ing, and that gentle bronco made for
the crowd of admiring tasters as
though he instantly knew that some of
them would soon need the side of the
house to be carried home on. But they
saw him coming in time TO scatter and
make room for the gentle beast, and he
and the side of a house made good time
in the direction of the Pacific. Ocean.
We guess that the Orange Grove man
will never chance that quiet bronco
among the yonng orange trees with a
plow attached. He's too playful for
the business.

Goodall, Nelson & Perkins.

1t is officially announced that GOOD
ALL, NELSON q PERKINS lave sue
ceeded to the business of the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company on this
coast. They do not run or control the
Panama line, but the coast steamers
running between San Francisco and
San Diego are owned by them. This
company is well and favorably known
to the people of Los Angeles. They
for long time rum an opposition to
the Pacific Mail, and run it so well
that they soon acquired fair share OF
the business and broke up monopoly
that was costing our people thousands
Of dollars per year. They have now
become sole proprietors of all the
steamers on the route. 1t is their do
termination chat neither the travel
ing public nor our commerce shall
suffer from the transfer of the route to
them. There will be no advance in
freight or passage, and as many
steamers will be kept running as are
necessary for the accommodation of
passengers and shippers. The prompt
dispatch and universal kindness
which has marked the course of
GOODALL, NELSON & PERKINS here
tofore Ia q guarantee that they will
secure the approbation Of their patrons
in the future.

We have received q copy of the new
City Directory of Los Angeles, COM
piled by Messrs. Oliver & Armor. 1t
is very ereditable directory, and
clearly sets forth the commercial en-
terprise of this city. The compilers
say: awe made the canvass in per-
son and, as far as We could, made it
correct. The following troubles that
have met us we are in no way re-
sponsible for: Some of the people did
not believe we meant to do anything
and would not take the trouble to in
form us, leaving us 10 gather our in
formation from clerks, children and
neighbors. Numbers of tho Span
iards through loss of property &C.,
fear any one that writes and, as we
now believe, gave false information.
In some portions of the city the names
of the streets are unknown to the res
idents aud the numbers are so irregu-
lar and incomplete as. to be of little
use. The book has been in press so
long that many changes have occur
red, though, as far as they could be
learned from the daily papers and the
signs, changes have been made UP to
the time of printing each name. As
these difficulties and many more have
stood III our way, they should in some
measure excuse imperfections. Now,
as we have spent much time, money
and labor to make the directory SER
ivicable, and to benefit advertisers
have issued large edition, thereby
burdening ourselves with great eX-
penses, the people should literally
support the work so as to make the
benefit mutuaI.n

The Rain.


1t was recorded in the lost records
that about the time NoAH's ark began
to float and those who had not secured
passag on that fast sailing and COM
modious craft found things little too
moist for comfort, an unbeliever who
used to- isit9around the ship-yard and
smoke and crack jokes ut the uncouth
appearance of the ark, swan alongside
and asked Capt. NOAH to throw him a
ropes end, and on being refused he
lost his temper and Informed NOAH
that he, might go to San Diego with
his old ark-tliat he didn't think it
would be much of shower anyhow.
That man was drowned. We hope a
similar fate has not overtakenthe little
army of croakers who for the last
month have done little else than prog
nosticate a.dry season in this part of
the State. They have proven them
selves neither prophets nor sons Of
prophets. All prospects for a dry sea-
son have been washed away, and we
are assured of sufficient moisture to
secure abundant crops. Between last
Saturday evening and yesterday noon
not less than seven inches of rain fell

THE best scientific and mechanical
journal in the United States and to
our notion the best in the .world-The
Scientific Anseyicdn commenced its
thirty-second volume with the begin
ming of the year 1876. Some one has
sent the HERALD the three first num-
bers of the new volume, and we can
truthfully say they are sample copies
of a magnificent journal. The en-
cravings, letter press and matter are
all that could be asked or expected.
No scientist or mechanic can do with
out the Scientific american, and the
general reader does not often lay it
aside for another publication.
