Remembers His Constituents.

The Legislative reporter of paper
published In this city that denounces
the Southern Pacific Railroad Compa-
ny in season and out of season, tele.
graphs that one of our Assemblym
General MCCoNNELL-will oppose
the passage of ARCHER's freights and
fares bill, and wonders that he should
do so. We should wonder if he and
all other members of the Legislature
from Southern California did not op-
pose this bill. We should wonder if
the members of the Northern end of
the State did not oppose this bill. In
fact we wonder that any member of
the Legislature can support and advo-
cate the passage of this bill. If, as all
the railroad owners of the State affirm,
the passage of this bill will cause q
cessation of operations on many of
the roads, especially those running
through sparsely settled portions of
the country, it ought not to be sup
ported by any Legislator who desires
the prosperity of the people. If, as
we are informed, the passage of this
bill will necessitate discontinuance
of railroad building in both the North
ern and Southern ends of the State,
the representatives from those Sec
tions cannot support it and do justice
to their constituents. Los Angeles is
becoming a railroad centre, and to
this fact she is indebted for o rapid
advance in the value of real estate.
Railroads are doing more for this part
of the State than anything else could
do. There is more railroad building
going on around us than in any other
part of the State, and every citizen

ieient reason why he should not act
as assignee. The Express, which is
partly owned by Mr.. FREEMAN and
which is itself considerable debtor
to the estate, accuses the Republican
of bounding competent assignee and
worthy GENTLEMAN(?) If the HERALD
might be allowed to take part in the
controversy, it would suggest that Mr..
FREEMAN has it in his power to put a
stop to all further controversy on the
subject by either newspapers or indi-

EDITOR HERALD:-I notice in the
Express of this evening the following
item:
"The business of the County Court
to-day was confined to naturalizing
Ferdinand Arndt, native of Prussia.
rdinand is now prepared to vote
,.,rly and often"
fully appreciate this malignant
fl gar my honesty which l think is
utt' fIy uncalled-for 1t is, perhaps, a
misfortune that am native of for
eign lard, and must, therefore, be nat
uralized before receiving the fran
chise; if the writer of the above item
had been born abroad and had staid
there, / think America would have
been better of.

Miss Major Pauline Cushman ap-
pears for the first time in Los Ange-
les tonight in the play of4"Perfec-
tion," for the benefit of Mr.. J. B. Ash
ton. 1t is good piece, and Miss
Gu shman is about as near perfection
as most mortals are supposed to get,-
being soldier and lady, one, too,
who rendered immense service to the
country during the late unpleasant
ness, having by her skill and bravery
largely contributed to the success of
the Union army. History will per-
petuate her memory among the other
heroes of the war, and we hope a full
house will assemble to do her honor
and also to show their appreciation of
Mr.. Ashton, who is q superior actor
AMI gentleman.
Mr. Ledyard, wealthy gentleman
from the East, is preparing to make a
wagon tour of Southern California.
He has his own team and a convey
ance supplied with camping and sport
ing equipments. He will be accom-
panied by his family and a driver,
making his way by easy stages from
Los Angeles to Santa Barbara, and
thence up the country to the Yo Sem
ite and other noted localities. This
mode of making Spring and Sum-
mer tour is becoming quite popular
among those who are able to spend
two or three months on a pasear just
as their fancy dictates.

Theater. We hope the star will be re-
stored to him.

opposes measure designed to so ham,

that they will cease building roads.

/. THE Outlook regards the HERALD's
remarks relative to the building of an
other railroad from this city to the
water, as an indication that the Santa
Monica road is hurting the Southern
Pacific. Evidently the Outlook begins
to understand what the HERALD has
known all along-that there is good
harbor all along the Pacific coast for
fifty miles up or down the beach from
Los Angeles. The intimation that the
Santa Monica road is hurting the
Southern Pacific, reminds us of the
gnat that alighted on the ox's horn
and asked permission to remain few
minutes and rest itself. The OK re-
piled that it was at liberty to stay as
long as 1t liked, as he did not know
when it took up the position and
should not know when it vacated it. p

This morning at III O'clock Noyes
will sell at auction the lot of cactus
plants which Mr.. III. II. futile brought
in from the Colorado desert. These
plants are very fine specimens, and
one species has over fifty buds just
putting out, which will bloom into
flowers of exquisite beauty, far sur
passing the rose and no two of them
alike. Another sort puts out flowers
similar to the century plant, and still
others have flowers of different kind,
but all gorgeous and strange. The
plants can be seen on Spring street, IN
front of Lewin's book store, and every
one should have one or more who has
any place to ornament. The sale will
be without reserve, and no doubt they
will go at bargain.
Three gents tumbled into the eXca-
walton just below the Merced Theatre
night before last, and were badly
bruised by contact with the bricks at
the bottom, and their clothes demor-
allied by the mortar. Robinson, at
the Palace shaving saloon, had good
job getting the blood and mortar out
of their hair. at is an i'll wind that
blows nobody luck" We hope the
trap will be kept open until some one
with spunk enough to make some
body pay damages breaks an arm or a
leg.

Legislative Proceedings.

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 25th.-The SEN
ate was called to order at 10 o'clock,
the President in the chair.
Shirley introduced bill amending
the Code providing that the owner OF
any vessel residing at another county
than that in which the vessels are re-
quired by law to be registered, and the
vessel so owned habitually run to and
from any other port or landing in an
other county, that such vessel must be
assessed and taxes thereon paid only
in the county where the owner or
owners reside.
The Senate then took up the general
file and considered the bill reducing
salaries of the State officers which
was on its final passage.
Mr.. Hayward offered substitute to
bill, and in an eloquent speech de-
nounced the measure as shame econo-
my and uncalled for by the people.
He moved the recommittal of the bill
to the Committee of the Whole SEN

The Great Centennial Hunt.

\ renowned philosopher, Benjamin
Franklin or somebody, has said,
Great aches from little toe-eorns
grow" VIM. Penn bought the entire
State of Pennsylvania for few strings
of beads and other trinkets somewhere
about century and half ago. Thus
it is that great ends come even to
small potato tops whereof we have no
anticipation. n couple of corpulent
Nimrods, desiring Ia celebrate the
Centennial anniversary Of their ma
tion's independence, started out for a
grand hunt the other day and re-
manned upon the tented field three
days. The hunt was in every way a
success, SO much SO that the hunters
tool in the Mission on their way TO
the city and secured some beef to al
lay the famine which had struck
them. Orders for game may be hand
ed to Jack Wolf, who will forward
them to the proper parties.

Political sIander Denied.

ATLANTA, GA, February 15.-The
following resolution was unanimously
agreed to by the House OF Representa-
tives:
WHEREAS, 1t has been charged on the
floor of the United States Senate and by
a portion Of the public press Of the
Northern States that it is the design OF
the legislature of Georgia to abrogste or
abridge the privileges or rights now en-
ioyed equally by the citizens of the State
under the Constitution of the United
States; therefore be 1t
Resolred, In the sense of this General
Assembly, that the equal political rights
of all the citizens of this State, regardless
of race or previous condition, are per-
manently fixed and secured by the Consti-
tuition of the United States, which is rec
ognized by this body as the supreme law
of laws; and that no abridgment or in
reference with these rights is proposed or
contemplated or desired IN the action of
the General Assembly, or by the people
whom we represent, and any and all leg
islation in contravention thereof, either
by legislation or by convention OF the
people, be null end void.
ResoLred, That the political relations OF
all classes in the States have been har-
moniously adjusted upon the basis of the
present provision of the Constitution of
the United States; that peace and good
feeling between the races prevail, and
that it is neither the desire nor to the in
terest of the people to reopen the:e ques-
tions. which have been thus harmonious
ly settled.

Ohio Country Newspaper ConVen
ton.

COLUMBUS, February l5.-A conven-
ton OF publishers of country newspapers
was held here to-day, to discuss measures
of reform in official county printing.
After considerable discussion resolutions
were adopted, declaring the present sys-
TEN of official advertising has been
abused, and entails injuries to which we
demand reform and resolving that in all
cases where the officers of auy county of
tho State are directed by the statute to
publish any notices, proclamations, e1-
hibits, or other matters OF public
interest in ore or more papers
in their respective counties, said dlrec-
ton should be so modified as to require
said officers in future to publish said
matter in the papers OF each of the great
political organization, in each county,
having the largest bona fde circulation
in said county.
A special committee was appointed to
draft law in accordance with the above
and present it to the Geaeral Assembly
for its consideration.
