The moral obliquity that could in
dite such an article as appeared in a
leader in a recent number of the Er-
press on the late VIM. C. RALsToN,
passes our comprehension. We can
not understand nature that plays
sycoph ant to the living rich one day,
and kicks and ridicules the dead lion
the next. There is species of selfish
ness if not moral turpitude anything
but pleasant to contemplate in these
attacks on the character of Mr.. RAILS
TON, and they are rendered all the
more odious by the remembrance
that the same pen was disgustingly
fulsome in praise of the living bank
er. The pick-thank encomiums that
are now lavished on the breathing Sem

that when they are dead their vir-
tues will be written in water by their
now most obedient servant-the edit

A telegram has been received by the
Attorney General from the Sheriff of
Kinds county, Mississippi, reporting
that perfect peace prevails throughout
that country, and that the peace Off

will aid him in the discharge of his
duties, if needed. The Attorney Gen.

Friends and Supporters.

The persistant efforts of the Even
ing Express to persuade its limited
number of readers that the HERALD is
hostile to Senator JONES and inimical
to the Los Angeles and Indepen-
dence Railroad excites the ridicule of
all save little coterie made up of in
dividuals who cannot distinguish the
difference between toadyism and hon.
est endorsement. Senator JONES has
no more sincere friends than the stock
holders and editor of the HERALD.
He is fully aware of this and he is al
so aware that the friendship of these
gentlemen is sincere and true. 1t is
different, very different, from that
which was secured by purchase and
will last only while he dispenses fa-
vors. No stockholder of the HERALD
nor any one connected with the es-
tablishment but would regard as a
public calamity the failure to COM
plete the railroad from Santa Monica
to this city. 1t is an enterprise which
every citizen of Los Angeles desires
shall be speedily carried out. The
HERALD has for nearly eighteen
months lost no opportunity to encour-
age the building of the road. Its col
umns contain more articles favoring
the road than any other two journals
published in this city. There have
been speculative schemes fastened,
like parasites, on this railroad enter
prise which we have not endorsed and
our course has been approved by the
people, but not one word has the HER.

there is crime, that blood is frequent
ly shed, for in the sparcely settled
districts the law of self protection is
necessarily carried to extremes; but
on the whole there is no section of the
United States where the people are
more honest and law abiding. Theft is
comparatively unknown, and the
safety of life and property is more as
sured than in other sections. Seldom
indeed is there case of burglary,
robbery or even larceny, and our hab-
itations are singularly free from bolts

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 1O.-There is

TRYING TO CATCH HIM.

We tell it as was told to us !:
Neighbor A. believed raising sheep
to be profitable. Neighbor b. didn't
know so well about it, and besides he
liked to keep a good coon dog to de
stroy the troublesome coons, and to
give the boys little sport. The
coon business being little dull, some
of As sheep were killed. He suSN
pected BIS dog, and went over, rifle
in hand, to take the life of that sheep
killing dog. b objected strenuously /;
his dog did not kill sheep. A was
convinced of the guilt of the dog, but
b refused to have his favOrate hunt
er killed. A. went home and resolved
to take the life of that dog the first
time he caught him out. An early
opportunity not presenting itself,
he determined upon stratagem. Pro
curing a large sheep skin, he cloth
ed himself in it, and armed with his
trusty rifle and a sheep bell he sal
lied forth. He crept along by the
side of BIS fence, crouchine upon his
hand and knees, tingling the little
bell as like a sheep as he could, be
icving that the dog would be drawn
thither when a bullet from his rifle
would do the work. Now it is so
happened that there we're two ways
for the dog to come il search of flesh
mutton, a fact which seems to have
been overlooked by A. in his ven>
geauce bent. While juggling the bell
aud looking through the crack of the
fence, for the dog to come in GER
tain direction, the beast crept along
behind. and thinking, doubtless, he
had fine fat fellow now all OF his
own, sprang upon the uususpecting
A from the rear, and grabbed for his
throat. TO say that A was trighten-
sd to within an inch Of his life is not
putting it strong at all. Big gone !

ed. lie did not stand the order Of
his going, but went while A. forgot
all about his gun until the dog was
out of reach. Then he exclaimed,
Now ! had him, aud have let him
get away But he don't hunt dogs
that way now.

ArRocIoUs JUDGE LYNCH.

The lynching Of two brothers,
Amos and Isaiah Courtwight, near
Milwaukee, was an unusually horrible
event of its kind. They were old
men, and had been arrested for the
wanton murder Of a woman. Ex-
pectiug a visit by mob, they had
through friends armed themselves
with knives and pistols, and barrica>
ded their cell door Only one slept
at a time, the other remaining on the
alert.
The masked lynchers were SO sud-
den 10 their attack, however, that
the plan of defense could not be ex-
ecuted. Isaiah, who was on the
watch, tried to shoot, but was knock
ed down, pounded and stamped until
he was insensible. Amos realized
to soften his captors with prayers for
mercy. They were tied behind a
wagon when Isaiah had revived suf.
fciently to be able to walk, and the
party started for the place selected
for the hanging.
On the way Isaiah suddenly DIRE"
knife, cut the rope that bound him
stabbed one of the mob fatally, anc
desperately endeavored to get away
but he was soon overpowered
beaten until he was covered will
blood, and then barbarously tortured
to death. A rope was noosed arount
his neck and fastened to the wagon
and his body dragged along the stony
road. He was dead before the place
for the hanging was reached. Amo
continued his applications and pro
testations of innocence until the rop'
choked off his utterance.
