IT is both new and gratifying g to the
people Of Los Angeles to read the lat
est kilograms in their local papers.
Thanksto the energy and enterprise
of the Atlantic and Pacific Telegraph
Company the HERALD is now enabled
to lay before its readers kilograms
from all parts of the worldon the same
morning they appear in the New York
Herald and the San Francisco ChrOn-
icle. These dispatches are not given
in mutilated fragments but complete
and in detail. There is now no neces-
sity for takinga San Francisco paper
in order to obtain full telegraphic
news. For many months past the
circulation of the HERALD has largely
exceeded-perhaps doubled that of any
other paper published in this State,
South Of San Francisco, and now that
its columns contain. full kilograms
bearing date up to the hour of going
to press which is three o'clock in the
morning, we may reasonably expect
that our already large circulation will
be doubled in q short time.

SENATOR BOOTH is in favor of pass
ing the question as to the legality of
BIDwELL's right to his $4,000 acre
farm and conceding him the owner.
This is all very we'll so far as BOOTH
is concerned. 8 He is pretty well off
and BIDwELL is quite rich. But sup
pose the issue involved 100 acres of
land held under doubtful title by
some poor man, would the Senator be
go ready to dismiss the case? The
fact is that BIDwELL has no more
right to hold $4,000 acres of land to
which he has no legal title than a poor
man has to illegally hold 16O acres, or
the San Vicente ranch owners to hold
four leagues when the original. grant
was for but one and one-half leagues
We believe that any man has a right
to all the land he buys and pays for,
be that one acre or one million acres;
but no man, be he rich or poor, has a
right to maintain possession of land
to which he has not obtained legal
title

A Little Back Talk.

From time to time the EUening Er-
press has INDUCED in coarse, not to
say ungentlemanly, language toward
the HERALD, and last evening that
paper says in plain Saxon that we
have lied about Santa Monica. The
assertions of the Jonesville organ do
not 60 for much in this community,
but we are willing to argue this ques-
ton of lying about Santa Monica. 1t
is clear that either the Express or
HERALD has lied like pickpocket
relative to Jonesville and its suburbs.
Let us examine the circumstances:
The Express has the reputation,
whether true or not, Of being the paid
tool and advocate of the Santa Monica
lot speculators, while the HERALD has
earned and maintains the reputation
of being an independent peoples Or
gan, uninfiuenced by ring or clique.
This is the condition of the two pa
pers. This being the case, we will
proceed to the subject of Santa Monica
and read the indictments on which
we arraign the Express, and as that
paper let's itself down to the fishwoman
style of language, We hope it will not
take offense if We initiate its example
and hurl back the word {" lier in the
same shape that we find 1t in its col
umns. We believe that the several
assertions we shall repeat have all
been endorsed by the Express. First
1t is lie that Santa Monica can have
10000 people in three years. Second
1t is lie that Santa Monica will have
loo, 900 people in ten years. Third
1t is a lie that Santa Monica has the
natural harbor advantages with San
Pedro Fourth-It is a lie that an
abu ndance of fresh water can or ever
will be supplied to the Santa Monica
ranch. Fifth7-It is lie that the
Santa Monica or San Vicente ranches
will produce grain or other vegetation
without irrigation. Sixth-It is lie
that the pine trees and onions shown
to expectant lot buyers grew where
they were pointed out. Seventh-It
is liethat the title to a part of the
Santa Monica ranch is not In dispute.
Eighth-It is a lie that the San vi
cente ranch comprises four leagues.
Ninth-It is lie that Los Angeles is
not the commercial city of Southern
California. Tenth-It is a lie that the
HERALD has, either by word or deed,
opposed the Los Angeles and Inde-
pendence Railroad. Each of these
things We have branded as lie the
Express has asserted and advocated,
and the HERALD has denied and op-
posed. We repeat that one of these
papers has lied like pickpocket, and
We are willing that the people shall
decide which is thesubsidized hireling
and which the honest, independent
journal.

French Politics,

VERSAILLES, July 21st.-In the AS
sembly to-day after the close of the
contest, the Right carried the motion
to discuss the question of recess to-
morrow. The Left sought to postpone
debate until Saturday. The Right
Centre is completely dismayed. The
Liberal portion are seeking q fusion
with a group under M. de la Vergne,
with leaning towards the Left.
Spirited Discussion.
LONDON, July 22d.-In the House of
Commons, this afternoon, Disraeli an
nounced that the Government had
abandoned the Merchant Shipping
bill for this session. He expressed
the hope that the session would be
closed by the 10th or 18th of August,
and possibly earlier. Plimsall fol-
lowed with speech, in which he vio-
lentIy attacked the Government, saw
ing that the consequences of the aban-
donment of the bin will be the des-
struction of thousands of lives. He
spoke vehemently and excitedly, and
used the most extraordinary epithi-
thets, stamped his feet and gesticula.
ed wildly, starting the House in an
uproar. Disraeli moved that Plimp-
sail be removed from the House. The
Speaker told him to withdraw, and
he went out shaking his fists at the
Government Bench, and the House
then considered the action and
thought it proper to take some steps
in regard to Plimsall's conduct. Sew
eral speakers urged his exeitability as
an excuse for his offense. Debate on
the subject was adjourned till Thurs
day next.
In the House this evening, Lord
Hamilton, Secretary of State for In
dia, refused to submit to a correspond
ence regarding the difficulties with
Burmah, but said they would be ami
cably settled.
1t is rumored that there will be
fresh trouble in the House when the
motion is made to abandon the Mer-
chants Shipping bill. This afternoon
Plimsall earnestly implored the Gov
ernment not to send one thousand
people to their graves through the
conduct of the ship builders. Upon
being called to order he gave notice
that he would ask, on Thursday next,
If vessels which had entailed great
sacrifice of human life did not belong

We trust they will do this, as we like

well known Cigar Store, nextto Wells,

portunity to offer my entire stock of
cigars, tobacco, pipes and smokers
articles, contained at the stand, at cost
price. Any one buying a box of cigars
will get them at manufacturer price,
as the stock must be closed out in
very short time. lido not wish to re-
move any of it to the store, Identical,
at 3S, Main street, as the stock of
cigars, tobacco, gents furnishing
goods is already large enough to sup
ply all the wants of the public. The
business, after the removal, will be
carried on at 3S, Main street, under
the Backman House, where 1 hope
that all those who have so far favored

Wilmington Items.

From the Enterprise, July 3d.
A schooner is now lying at the wharf
discharging railroad lumber.
The weather has been unusually
warm during the past week, the mer-
curry rising as high as $50.
Mr. Tafe informs us that the engine
of the furniture establishment will
probably be fired up next Saturday.
Full operations will begin early in
August.
Mr.. VIM. Oman, who is now haul
ing hay to town, informs us that there
is about two-thirds crop in the val
ley, and that the quality is very supe-
riOr.
Our public-spirited merchant, Ma
than Jacoby, who believes in patron
izing home institutions, now illumi-
mates his store with San Fernando
coal oil. He says it makes a better
light than the Pennsylvania oil which
he has heretofore shipped from San
Francisco.
We took dinner with family in
Wilmington last Sunday, upon whose
table we saw all the vegetables of the
season, which grew on dry land where
the water Is at least twenty-five feet
below the surface of the ground. These
vegetables were carefully cultivated,
but had never been watered.
We counted thirteen good-sized
watermelons the other day, growing
on one vine in Colonel Wilson's gar
den. This is volunteer, and has
| never received the least attention. As
the vine is green and fresh and full of
blossoms and tiny melons, we have no
doubt it will continue to produce until
late in the Fall-perhaps even later
than that.
Work on the bar during the past
week has been very satisfactory. The
dredger has passed the apex of the
| reef, and the water now has q depth
of not less than seven feet at low
tide at any point on the bar The
Indications are that the sweep of the
Underwater will hereafter o more work
than the dredger.
We hope that Senator Jones will
carry out to the fullest extent, his de-
termination to test the farming ca
pacity of his mesa lands. No doubt
thorough cultivation will disclose facts
concerning the uplands that will sur
prise everybody. Besides, as we have
before said, thorough test of these
lands will be general benefit to the
the county. There is large area of
it in this valley. Col. Wilson has
made q few experiments on land
around Wilmington, without irriga-
tom with water 25 feet below the sur
face, and the result has been wonder

In one of our exchanges we noticed
few days ago an article which en-
bodied nearly the same sentiments as
those expressed by, Republican"
There does not appear to be that dis
position among the rank and file of
the Republican party-among those
who are Republicans from principle
to abandon the organization that is
seen among those who hold Office
under the Administration. The
Republican masses are sincere in their
convictions, aud, hold to principles
which they, believe to be honest and
true. Besides this there is universal
desire among pure Republicans to
keep UP their organization in every
State and county in order to be ready
for the Presidential election of next
year. The independent party. has no
national existence; indeed, tits hardly
known outside. Of California, and in
this fact alone Republicans recognize
the utter futility of bettering their
condition by going over to O faction
which has no principles except abuse
and villihcation of Democrats and
Republicans. With Federal office
holders-some of them, at least-the
sentiment may be different. They
may not be SO strongly imbued with
genuine Republican principles, and it
is possible that they were only induced
to become Republicans from pecuniary
motives. The lassitude and indiffer-
ence which is apparent among the
gentlemen holding Federal Offices in
this county has attracted attention in
certain quarters, but we are inclined
to think it is not as great as repre-
sented. There are a number of active
Republicans among them, and we are
led to believe that it is their purpose
to cooperate with the members of the
party in the county who do not hold
