Ladies' Centennial Meeting.

On account of the inclemency of the
weather, the Ladies' Centennial meet

House parlors, has been postponed un-

Mrs. B. G. Whiting read to the few
ladies present the following pathetic
appeal, and we hopeit will call out a
full meeting next Wednesday
As i have been solicited to take
charge of the Los Angeles branch of
the Womans Centennial Committee,

true womanly zeal and fraternal love,
to decline to serve to the best of my
ability. -aes sa.tm

The appeal from our sisters of the
East for all possible aid, is very ur-
gent. They have ventured an expen-
diture of $30,0O0 for the construction
of suitable building in which to dis
play to advantage the results of wo-
mans skill and labor In order to
meet this. obligation, we are simply
called upon to sell Centennial building
stock at $40 (ten) a share in currency.
1t may seem q little awkward just
now to ask for money, yet when it is
understood that a subscription entities

from which dividend will be receiv-

Politics or Patriotism ?

While Republican journals are rails
ing a hypocritical howl over the re-
moval from office of few Union SOL
diers, it is worth while to enquire if
their discharge is due to the fact Of
their being Union soldiers, or is it be-
cause they are Republicans? The or
gans Of the Administration loudly as
sert that their removal is made on the
sole ground tof their having fought
against the Rebellion. 1t is not prob
able that this statement is believed
by one intelligent man in the United
States. Hundreds and thousands Of
Democrats can aver from their own
personal knowledge that one of the
points on which the Republicans are
unanimous is to retain no Democrat
in office while a Republican can be
found to fill it. Now it occurs to US
that the Administration leaders can
not with reason complain ii Demo-
Gratis adopt q rule made general by
themselves. The next phase of the
question to be considered is one of no
small weight, and it is embodied in
the compound question: Are there
any Democratic Union soldiers? and
IL 30, has a Democratic Union soldier
as great claim to an Office or posi-
tion under the Government as Re-
publican Union soldier? On the au-
thority of Generals and commanding
officers, we shall maintain that large
number of Democrats fought for the
Union, and visit to any locality will
prove that many of these Democrats
lived through the war and returned to
their homes covered with scars and
glory. is it treason; is it an outrage;
is it wrong to retire the Republican
Union soldiers from positions they
have held SO long and I'LL those posi-
tions with Democratic Union soldiers
whose patriotism the Administration
has so persistently ignored? Togeth-
er these veterans fought for the Union,
let them in turn enjoy the favors OF
the nation.
