Enthusiasm" The lecture was de-
liyercd in an eloquent, strong and
foFciblc manner, carrying with it .
conviction and influence to every
one present. While the church was
filed, We regret exceedingly that
more Of our young men were not
present to hear him, for he would
have filed them with a new inspira-
ton and enthusiasm, which would
have shaped and marked out their
future course in this life. To show
the high appreciation of the lecture
and the esteem in which the Lectu-
rer was held by the audience, We
refer to the resolutions published in

Robbery Of the Julian Stage.

The stage which left this city on
Monday morning for the mines was
stopped by two highwaymen about
dusk in the evening, while ascending
the Coleman grade, distance of seven
miles from Julian City. The robbers
demanded Wells, Fargo & Co.'s treas
ure box, which contained $1,000. The
driver refused, telling them he would
not deliver it; that if they wanted it
they must take it from him. One of
them covered him with a double-bar-
relied gun, while the other, who was
armed with arevolver, climbed up and
passed down the box. They opened it
and took out the money, disturbing
nothing else. There were four pas
sengers aboard the stage, but when at
the foot of the steep grade, three of
them got out and walked on ahead,
the remaining passenger being an
invalid. AS soon as the box was
taken the robbers ordered the driver
to go on, and as he proceeded he heard
the blows struck on the box in break
ing it open. On returning, the box
was found with letters, ETC., intact,
nothing having been taken but mon

CITY AND COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER.
FRIDAY. Y,.................FEB 2e, 1875
Dead Again.

By Atlantic and Pacific telegraph
dispatches we learn that the Texas
Pacific Railroad Bill is once more
dead. Before, it died in the person of
Colonel Tom. SCOTT. This time it is
the lobby that gives up the ghost.
Both the Alto and Chronicle of Tues
day contain dispatches bearing date
of Washington 22d, in which it is
claimed that the refusal of the House
to suspend the rules and take up the
Texas Pacific Bill is conclusive evil
dence that it cannot pass that body.
It is said that the lobby accept this as
certain defeat and confess themselves
routed, horse, foot and dragoon. How
much of this is true and how much
false we leave the people to judge,
while remembering the fact that from
the same source we recently had the
positive assertion that majority OF
the committee was opposed to the bill,
when in reality just the reverse was
the case,
Los Angeles daily herald., 1875-02-26
Words OF Caution.

The San Francisco Chronicle, which
has always maintained a friendly at
titude toward the agricultural inter-
ests of the State, is of the opinion that
in organizing Changers Business
Association, the Changers are over
shooting the mark and undertaking
enterprises beyond the design and
purpose for which the organization
was intended. 1t claims that when
the farmers undertake to run mercan-
tile business, manage factories, build
railroads and establish transportation
companies on large scale, they are
venturing into deep water. These
suggestions of the Chronicle may not
be generally well received, although
they are doubtless we'll intended and
are certainly worthy of thoughtful
consideration. All business that may
be conducted under the immediate su-
pervision of the farmer may be ven-
tured upon with safety. He asks
nothing but what is right; does not
exact exorbitant commissions, nor
wish to grow rich at the expense of
his neighbors and CO. operators.
Grange stores, Grange local railroads,
Grange agencies and Grange agricul-
tural implement houses are we'll for
the community and safe for the in
vestors. They are simply competit-
ors, and while they injure no trade or
business, they help to prevent monop-
olies and corners and offer that compe-
tition which secures fair prices. But
grand central organizations are nei-
ther so safe nor profitable. Their cap
ital is supplied by the farmer, while
the business is conducted by agents
who approach very nearly to that
class to free the farmer from which
the Grange was organized-the mid
dlemen. 1t will do no harm, and may
be the means of saving many hard
earned dollars, if the farmer carefully
studies the expensive schemes con-
ceived by city brains to be maintained
by Granger support 1t is always well
to know who and what number is to
be benefited.

ferred numberless blessings on future
generations. He is converting the

He has set out line of young trees

West of Bunker Hill Avenue to Pearl

erly to the reservoirs. Also along
Canal and Reservoir street from the
junction with Short street, Westerly
to near Figueroa street. Altogether
he has planted out about three thous-
and of these trees and they are all
growing finely. The eucalyptus is a
rapid grower and in an almost incred-
ible short time these trees will present

Defeat Of Scott's Texas Pacific Bill i'm
the House.

WASHINGTON, February 22d.-Col.
Thomas A. Scott and che Texas Pacific
Railroad lobby met with most unex-
pected defeat in the House to-day.
Houghton, of California, who is a
member of the Pacific Railroad Com
mittee, has engineered the bill long
time and offered it to-day, not for pas
sage, but in the shape Of resolution
directing its consideration on We'd
nesday evening next. On ordering
the main question, the vote stood by
tellers Isl to So. This made the lobby
confident of success; but another
question had to be put and that was:
Will the House suspend the rules and
pass the resolution ? This called for
the yeas and nays, while the rules re-
quired that there should be two-thirds
to carry it, the proposition did not re-
ceive even majority vote, standing
III yeas to 129 nays. New England,
New York and Northwestern delega-
tions voted almost solidly against it.
The Pennsylvania Republicans were
generally for it, and the Democrats
against it. Maryland cast a solid vote
for it. The South, though, was di-
vided, and there is where Mr.. Scott
made q wrong count, for he expected
to get the full Southern delegations.
Another effort is to be made to pass
the bill; but in view of to-day's vote
it would seem to be hopeless.

An Independent Newspaper Man.

FRANK M. PIXLEY is once more
welding the editorial quill of the
Chronicle, and his pungent articles
have drawn the fire of his enemies,
some of whom denounce him as
journalistic charlatan and political
ground and lofty tumbler A part of
these charges at least are errors. Mr..
PIXLEY is not newspaper charlatan,
hack nor fraud. He is not charla-
tan, because he writes we'll and forci-
bly,, and the dictionary says charla-
tan is one who makes unwarrantable
pretensions. He is not newspaper
hack because he is not compelled to
write for living and only writes
when he feels like it and has some
thing to write about. He is not a
journalistic fraud, because he is an
educated and talented gentleman, with
brains enough to think for himself and
independence enough to write what
he thinks. We have worked by the
side of FRANK 'PIxLEY, and we like
him as q man and as newspaper
writer. His articles are reflex of the
man-pointed, forcible and alive. One
may quarrel with his opinions, but no
one can mistake his meaning. He
does not dribble platitudes nor sail his
craft by the compass of some old fogy
around the corner. What he writes is
what he thinks, and this is more than
can be said of great many newspaper
writers. Mr.. PIxLEY's political opin-
ions are his own. He is not the kind
of man who is likely to remain In a
party longer than that party's princi-
Piles meet his approval, and he is just
| the kind of man who will go into
another party the moment its princi-
pies please him better than those of
the party with which he has been act
ing. He is an independent politician,
an independent writer, an independent
thinker, and, being rich, is an inde-
pendent man generally.
