Evarts Sees a Ghost.

To w. M. EvARTs is credited the
expression, 81 do not think there are
one hundred men in this country who
realize how near we are to a complete
change in the form of our Govern
ment.p We cannot, of course, know
what the gentleman intended to con-
vey in these words. The sentence is
susceptible of multifarious interpreta-
tions. There is enough wrong, enough
misdemeanor, enough peculation,
fraud and rascality, going on in the
different departments to make COM
plete change in the government not
only desirable, but beneficial to the
whole commonwealth. If it is meant
that change in the general manage
ment of the Government is near at
hand; that in place of extravaganza
we shall have economy; in place of
corrupt officers we shall have honest
public servants; in place of demorali-
zation and destitution we shall have
harmony and plenty; in place of an
army of Federal officers, whose only
care and duty is to hold place and
draw salary, we shall have only those
officials who are capable and willing
to perform their duty; if in place of
reckless waste and enormous revenue
we shall have frugality and reduced
taxation; il in place of an over bur
dened and oppressed people we shall
have prosperous and happy nation,
by this complete change in our Gov
ernment, in Gods name and in the
name If humanity and virtue and
honesty, let us have the change as
soon as possible, even though not ten
men in the country dream of its near
approach. But if Mr.. EvARTs means,
SIS We presume he does, that we are to
have a near change in the form and
principles of our Government, we
have no faith in his judgment. 1t is
possible that those now at the head of
the nation desire such change, and
they may be even unwise enough to
attempt to make it, but the effort
will fail. This is Republic, and
millions of men will sacrifice their
lives in maintaining it as such.

The Reason of 1t.

Our interior exchanges come to
hand filled with arguments intended
to divert a portion of the immigra-
tion now pouring into this State into
their respective localities. This is the
proper spirit. 1t is to the interior
papers that the new comers must in the
main look for information relative to
the soil, climate, price of land and fa-
cilities for transportation, in the diff
ferent sections. And while these
journals confine themselves to the
facts, avoiding all romancing and par
adise painting, they are comforting a
favor on those seeking information
and doing good work for the commu-
mites in which they are published.
Until recently the task of writing up,
in fair and unvarnished manner,
their own counties, has not been un-
dertaken by interior journals; but
now that the tide of immigration is
rolling toward this State, they are be-
coming sensible of the importance of
informing the world as to their land
and its products. The large proper
tion of the new corners who are arrlv-
ing at Sacramento announce their in
tention of going to Southern Califor-
mia, and show themselves so we'll
Informed about the land and products
of Los Angeles valley, as to attract
the attention of the Sacramento and
San Francisco papers, and draw from
them expressions of wonder as to why
this condition of things exists. The
explanation is easy, and we give it in
the words of San Francisco ex-
change: "Los Angeles county has
been better written up than any other
portion of the State.D This is the
secret; the reason why people coming
here are better informed relative to
this portion of the State than any
other. The papers of this city and
county have labored earnestly and
faithfully at the task of writing up
the country. That they have done
their work truthfully and effectually
is attested by the large number of
immigrants constantly arriving by

SOME of the Republican journals are
urging Senator FINNEY of San Mateo
county, for Congress in place of Gov
ernor PACHECo. Well we have no
right to feel greatly interested in Re-
publican nominations for Congress or
constable, but for the sake of having a
respectable fight we hope they will
not nominate FINNEY. He is the most
finikin FINNEY that ever roared in a
Legislative hall. He has no clearly
settled theory or opinion and he talks
at random and necessarily. He is as
erratic as Philosopher PICKETT and a
spread eagle orator on the tin whistle
pattern. He is great gun for noise
with Chinese cracker capacity.
Well have no FINNEY in ours.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1875-05-06

A RECENT arrival from Omaha says
he took some pains to inform himself
on the matter of immigration to Cali
fornia, and he is confident that there
are twenty thousand people in the
Northwest coming and preparing to
come to the Pacific coast this year. If
they are the right class of people,
there is plenty of room for them here,
and they cannot do better than come
at once. People accustomed to work
and willing to work will find soil and
work here. Those who have no
money and cannot make money in the
East will not make money here.
People who believe and act on the
theory that the world owes them
living and they will get it without
work, will come so near proving the
fallacy of their notion that they will
go hungry many day. We want
people who believe that the world
owes them only such living as they
carve out for themselves.

EVERYBODY knows that if you give
a woman a newspaper with piece cut
out and tell her that the missing para
graph was something you did not think
it proper for her to read, she will nev-
er rest until she has read the forbid
den item. So when the Judge at the
BEECHER-TILToN trial cautioned tie
ladies to stay out of court, the next
day they fiocked in like pigeons. We
shall always have our private opinion
of the real object of that Judge in
warning the ladies that it would not
be proper for them to be present du-
ring certain stage of the trial. No man
who has sense enough to become
Judge can be so ignoront of female
humane nature as to suppose that his
advice to ladies not to do thing would
be acted upon.

Matters Political.

Pursuant to call, the Independent
county met at Changers Hall, in Pla-
cervlIe, April 26th, John Kirk presid-
ing. Upon motion, it was resolved to
hold primaries on Saturday, June II,
and to place full ticket in the field
at the election.
A meeting Of Independents is to be
held May Sth, at the City Hall, Oak
land, TO take steps to organize that
party and provide for the election of
delegates to the State Convention at
Sacramento.
Over 1000 votes were cast in Stanis-
laus county on the occasion of the
Democratic primary election Saturday
last.
The Republican County Committee
of Humboldt has invited the County
Committee of the late county of Kla-
math to unite with them.
The Republican Congressional Com
mittee of the Second District will meet
in Sacramento May 5th and make a
call for a Congressional Convention to
nominate candidate for that district
in the next Congress.
The excitement in the San Francisco
Democratic camp has subsidized. The
postponement of the primary is gen.
orally approved and matters and
things have settled down to their usu-
al quiet.
Ex-senator Colby of Sacramento
now of Butte, is candidate for Con-
gress in the Third District.

railroad and steamer and their almost
universal expressions of satisfaction
and contentment with the country
and its soil, climate and products.
For the past fourteen months, the
HERALD has made speciality
of "writing up'' Los Angeles val
ley. Besides our daily and weekly
issues thousands of copies of which
have been sent to the other side ofthe
continent and to Europe, we have pub
lished four pamphlets, the pages of
which We're filled with information
relative to Southern California, such as
was sought after by persons who con-
templated making their home on the
Pacific coast. OF these pamphlets over
10000 copies have been sent East. In
writing up' our country we have
carefully avoided giving publicity to
eXtravagant statements, and in no in
stance have we knowingly misrepre-
sented climate, soil or product. We
believe the other journals and public
ations of the county have closely ad-
hered to the same line of policy. This
much by way of explaining to our CO.
temporaries why Los Angeles valley
receives so large proportion of the
immigration now pouring into the
State. We have no objection to their
following our example. The people
are coming. Give them all the infor-
nation possible.

Texas Heard From.

We have received letter from Mr.
B. f. Luce, prominent business man
of Texas, which is one of many re-
ceiVed continually. 1t speaks for it
self, telling the growing discomfort
in Eastern communities, and the
tendency to emigrate to California.
AS Il means of aiding emigration,
we hope our people will note his in
quiries, as they are likely to be asked
by all who come here, and give the
information he asks to their friends in
the East. 1t reads as follows:
am indebted to Col. Glare Davis
son, an ardent and eloquent advocate
of semi-S optical California, for much
valuable information about the "Gold-
en- State.o 1t was through his kind
ness that | received a HERALD de-
scriptive pamphlet and other valuable
documents relative to your city and
county.
There are several families from this
portion of Texas who contemplate
moving to your county, and by little
eXertion many Others could he induced
to go. The information alluded to
above is entirely satisfactory as far as
it goes, but | would be pleased if you
would answer the following questions.
Are insects, especially ants, numerous
and injurious to vegetables? What
kind Of game and fish have you, and
are they abundant? Is the water
limestone or freestone? What is the
price of milch cows, stock hogs, work
oxen, mules and horses and medium
quality riding horses, and are they al
lowed to Craze upon the range and is
the range good? Have you stock
law? What is the price of meats at
your city markets. The price of lum-
Der, shingles, brick and lime? The al
titude of Los Angeles? Have you
much fog? Is the salt air and sea
breeze injurious to weak lungs?
lnclosed | send you one dollar, for
which please forward to my address

until the expiration of the time paid
for l would order it for q year, but if
half | hear of your beautiful city of
Los Angeles prove true, / would pre-
fer receiving it from the hands of your
carrier, before the time expires. Yes,
indeed, would much rather behold
with my own eyes your prolific sur
roundings, your embryoed prodi gies,
Centinela and Artesia, your moving
grain and luscious fruit, your glorious
climate with it's great waves of golden
sunshine, and your magnificent seem

Presuming that but half hear to be
facts, | cease to wonder at the extraor-
dinary energy exhibited by your peo-
pie, the boldness of your enterprises,
being only exceeded by celerity oftheir
execution. Towns spring up as if by
magic. Railroads are built in day,
and so jealous are you of your Italian
sky, that you allow no murky cloud to

One of the finest improvements in
the city will be the rebuilding of the
Lafayette Hotel. The whole Of the
buek of the house is already being
torn down, and the front will shortly
be built up. The stores will be just
half as large as they are now, and, as
the Important has very large stock
on hand, they will not have half room
enough for their goods and in order to
prevent them from being damaged by
dirt and dust, they have decided to
sell all their Spring goods at less than
cost, and others. such as cOttOns, table,
linen, ETC., at exact cost. We advise
all to call at the Important and con-
vince themselves of the great bar
gains. Such bargains they can never
get again, and in order to prevent a
great rush, we advise all to call early
and take advantage of the building of
the Lafayette Hotel. a16

"JUDGE NEILsoN-I ask the privil-

children to having to accept false
