Los Angeles daily herald., 1875-07-07

WE would respectfully call the at
tention of the Board Of Supervisors to
the condition of the Telegraph Stage
road. 1t is in a bad condition in many
places, which could easily be repaired.
The Stage Company are delivering our
mails some eight Or ten hours ahead
ofschedule time, and it seems utjust
that in consideration of this fact, the
county should keep the road in good
travelling condition. In the vicinity
of Elizabeth Lake, the road descends
hill along ridge which is so steep
on either side as to, render it danger
Gus to travellers. At a small outlay of
money, the route could be changed SO
that the road would run down gulch,
rendering it much easier and safer. 1t
would pay the Board of Supervisors
to pass over that portion of the Tele-
graph road, which is in this county.

The French Appeal.

n " o.
~ [From the s. F. Alta, July '4th.l V-
The appeal here made by the French
Consuls, Mons. Breuil and M. Touch
ard, to their countrymen, which we
have translated and publish herewith,
must touch the heart of every French
born person among US, and can scarce
ly fail of affecting deeply our own ma
tive born and naturalized citizens; for
although addressed to Frenchmen
born, it is as broad in its appeal as
humanity itself. Here is vast
stretch of country, lately populous and
prosperous, its people happy, its crops
tiattering, its prospects all that could
be desired, all at once turned into u
rolling seat not only its crops, its
vineyards, its houses swept away, but
its inhabitants drowned In the terrible
flood, or a portion of, them left to
mourn for the dead, for husbands, fa-
theirs, sons, daughters parents and
children and completely destitute,
robbed of everything. 1t is sad pic
ture,
Although the appeal is only to those
of French origin, it carries with it an
appeal to all. When great calamities
fall upon communities, the world
should have but one heart, one pair of
hands, one instructive answer to the
appeal. n In our great hours of trouble
century ago France was one of our
first, our most efficient friend. For a
hundred years the hearts OF. the French
populace have beat in harmony with
our own, even when the glory of Bona
parteism filed the world with its bril-
liancy. Now, when she is in distress,
still struggling TOWARD a government
such as ours, and working out her des-
tiny amid many discouragements, 10 q
time when our people should remem-
Der her former assistance, the long
friendship she has given us, and the
sorrows of some. of her people, and
show her that we have not forgotten,
that we are grateful and that we will
respond. ~ ~ ' w

10 the French Colony in CalJor-
ntd-DEAR COMPATRIoTs: A great
misfortune has stricken our country.
Torrent-iike rains have made the Gar
onne overflow, and the resulting flood
has caused the Toulouse and other
places along the river. incalculable
damage. The telegraph, with its de-
spair-inspiring brevity, is far from sat
isfying our anxiety to know all the
details, but it says enough to let US
comprehend that the disaster is i'm
mense, and that the losses are, we
might almost venture to say, irrepar-
able. Two thousand persons have
lost their lives, and hundreds of DWELL
ings are heaps Of ruins; in other words,
to-day in France. in those districts
where lately reigned happiness and
abundance, there are thousands of per-
sons, who, suddenly despoiled of all
their worldly possessions, are plunged
into the deepest distress. sl-s4.'D
The Government of the Republic
Immediately took energetic meas
ures to provide, as far as possible, for
the most pressing necessities. Sub
scription lists have been opened, not
only In France, but also in England,
Los Angeles daily herald., 1875-07-07

Switzerland and Berlin, and public
charity will doubtless respond gener-
ously to the appeals made to it; but
we must not delude ourselves with the
supposition that the help from these
sources will be sufficient. In catas-
trophe of this kind, if the needs of the
first moment are great, those of the
future are still greater. 1t is not
enough to provide an asylum and food
for the widow, the orphan and the old
man; the toilers of the soil must also
be supplied with. the means of restor-
ing fertility to the lands washed by
the waters and thus rendered sterile
for long time. ysg rs.
The Government of our country and
the citizens of all classes III the pain
full circumstances, will make ali pos
sible sacrifices to better the condition
of the poor victims of the flood, but
we must not forget that France, ex-
hausted as she now is by the burden
imposed upon her by the last war, is
powerless to help the unfortunate as
she would wish. In her material SOL
itude, she remembers that beyond the
seasshe has faithful children, in whom
hCithci hui ulStdiICC aittICu
their love of their country, and nat
urally turning to them, she points her
finger at their unfortunate brethren,
and reminds them that they have a
great duty to fulfil. = ~
1t is then in the name of France's'
dear compatriots, in the name of our
country so cruelty tried, that we to-
day address you. Oh, do not close
your ears to this appeal; look in fancy
at the scenes of which the shores Of
the Garonne are to-day the witness;
see these little children crying for
food; that mother weeping for the
death of him who was the object of all
her affections and the sole support of
her family; listen to the sobs of this
poor old woman from whom the wat
ers robbed her beloved son; consider
the despair of all these unfortunates,
who in less time than we shall take in
describing it, lost everything; and
then consult your heart and follow its
inspirations. iffo4 81 4al9 tHos

= So -,
ONE of the. editors of the Cypress
has interviewed Senator JONES in San
Francisco, and sent the result to his
paper here. 1t was generally supposed
the gentleman went up to the city for
the purpose of seeing the Senator, and
the published interview would seem
to confirm the correctness of the sup
position. According to the combined
effort of the editor and the Senator,
everything is rose colored, and the
coming city',scheme is bound to be-
come a great success. If people can
only be induced to buy lots to which
the title is disputed, and If they will
only plant and then discover a
successful method of growing trees on
land where there is not and probably
never will be drop of water, the
"coming city" will soon become an
arcadia, avalambrosia, an earthl ly
paradise. ~ eaA

SAN FRANCISCO, July 9th. - The
Coroner was notified this morning
that a man who was subsequently,
identified as Fred Schluckenbier, an
employee of the Bavarian Brewery,
had hung himself to tree half mile
west of the Presidio. The body was
taken in charge by the officers Of the
day at the Presidio, and removed to
the Morgue to-day. No cause for the
act is assigned.
Early this morning the wife of Rob-
ert White, keeper Of grocery store,
No. 103 Howard street, found her hus-
band lying In q pool of blood in the
water closet, with his throat cut by a
penknife, which lay by his side. He
was dead when discovered. Deceased
bought the store a short time ago and
was led to believe by friends that he
had been swindled In the purchase,
which his wife thinks so worked on
his mind as to prompt him to suicide.
He was native of New York, aged
about 40. .-.s ~
AT 2:2O o'clock yesterday afternoon,
a man named J. w. g. Brandt, COM
mission merchant of this city, at
tempted to- kill q woman named Polly
Boon, at house OF ill-fame, at the
corner of Third and Stevenson streets,
by shooting her with derringer. He
inflicted slight wound in her back
and then drew revolver and blew his
own brains out. 1t appears that he
wished the woman to live with him,
which she refused to do. He then
said that he could not live without
her, and they would die together, at
tacking her with the, result as above

Clouded Title.

- The discovery that cloud hangs
over the title of the San Vicente or
Santa Monica ranch, will, we appre-
hend, somewhat affect the approach
ing sale of lots In the 'Coming City"
Bona fide purchasers do not, as q gen.
eral thing, care to invest their money
in real estate to which they cannot
obtain clear title. We are reliably
informed that investigationsofSthe old
records shows not only a defective
title to the San Vicente ranch, but also
that the original grant was much
smaller than is now claimed by its
owners. The case will undoubtedly
go into the Courts, and months, and
perhaps years, of litigation will inter-
yene between now and the final settle
ment Of title. Meantime, those who
purchase lots or plots at the sale
which takes place during this month,
will hardly be justified in making per-
manent Improvements on property
which a decision Of the courts may
award to other claimants. We give
this warning in order that those who
contemplate purchasing lots in Santa
Monica may do so advisedly and with
full knowledge OF the litigation an
noyances to which they will undoubt-
edly be subjected In the future. 1t
will also be well to remember tnat the
promise to warrant and defend by
by those who offer the property for
sale can only be valuable in the event
of the present owners CHANGING to be

Our Congressional Candidate.

The selection of a Congressional can
didate for this district by the Demo-
cratic Convention isdecidedly unpop-
alar In this porsson of the State, and
will, no doubt, to a certain extent,
affect the vote ON the whole ticket.
We regret that this is SO, and we trust
that between now and tho election
Democratic voters may realize the
Importance of giving to the nominee
of their. Conventiona full and hearty
support. Mr.. WIaGINGToN is tai
ented and energetic young man. His
talking qualities are far above the av-
erage, and he promises to make an
effective campaign. He is lawyer of
large practice and in his home, in
Merced county, commands the respect
ofall who know him. AL that can be
urged against him is that, being q
nonresident of Southern California
and totally unacquainted with our
wants and resources, he will not be
able to secure such legislation as re-
quired. The Southern counties of the
district comprise by far the most i'm
portant part of the State which Mr..
WIaeINGToN, if elected. will repre-
sent at the National Capital; yet he is
stranger to these counties and his
name is unknown to our people. He
may, however, and If he is wise he
will, inform himself as to the require
ments of this part of his district. > He
should spend several weeks of the
campaign in this, San Diego and San
Bernardino counties, talking with the
people and studying the country. We
hope to see him among US at an early
day.
