Another Tammany device has been to distribute
copies of The Ne1c- York Express containing fierce
assaults on Gov. Tilden; and another is the pubca-
ton which has just been begun of ST. Louis edition
of The Kansas City Times. The adhesion OF The Re-
publican and The Times to Tlden left the anti-Tden
Democrats without an organ. The Kansas City Times
announces itself as anti-Tilden TO the core. and
brstles with assaults upon him. The Tlden debates
have absorbed almost the whole interest Of the
gathering, and whenever you saw dense crowd
clustering together in any Of the halls lobbies on
the corners of streets and heard voices in loud and
angry disputation, and saw arms wildly brandshed
above the head of the crowd you might know that
the question Of debate was Gov Tildens ability to
carry New-York. and that the affirmative and mega
tive were both being well sustained. Occasionally,
thOngb only occasionally. these disputes have grown

The Opera.

On Sunday evening the repetition
Of Martha" was witnessed by much
larger audience than we expected to
see present, because of the evening
church services. The opera was rem
dered much more smoothly than on
the former presentation, and with
much more spirit. Miss Elzer was
particularly effective, as was Mr..
Pfueger. No comment is called for
as to Fabbri and Mueller, for all did
well as could be desired. The frequent
expressions of applause were the best
indica tions of the excellence of the
performance, as they came from q
highly appreciative audience. 1t is
regretted that the season has been so
short, but we take consolation from
the fact that we are promised a longer
season in the coming Fall. Mr.Pfue-
ger and Miss Elzer left the city yes
terday afternoon for San Francisco.
They will be kindly remembered, and
whenever they return they will re-
ceive a cordial welcome. Madame
Fabbri and Mr.. Mueller will remain
with us for a number of weeks for re-
creation and rest. We hope to hear
from them in concert while they So

stands upon its merits, and kindly in
vites all acquisitions that may come
from whatever quarter, provided they
come in good faith, and while we in
vite all to join us who see fit to come
into our fold, we can but believe that,
as the correspondent remarks, the del
egation from this coast will have no
little influence in aiding in the ar
langement of the Presidential cam
paign. The Democracy stands upon
its ancient principles as foundation
for future operations; and yet, while it
believes in the old established rules, it
extends the olive branch to all
who may, like the prodigal
son, desire to return to the fold.
The indications from every quarter
are that the Democracy throughout
this State will not only receive large
acquisitions from the Republicans,
out that we shall carry the State by
as large a majority at least as the plu-
rality given to Governor IRWIN. From
the East we have as encouraging
news from every quarter, and if a
proper line of conduct of the campaign
is adopted there cannot be doubt of
the success of our party. We know of
no special elements of discord in our
organization in this State, and do not
propose to borrow trouble. We sim
ply suggest, as the correspondent re-
marks, that harmony is essential to
the success of the party. Intimations
of either real or supposed causes for a
lack of harmony are unwise, and, We
think, wholly uncalled for.

Rev. A. M. Campbell.

The people of Los Angeles are deep
ly interested in Rev. A. NJ. Campbell,
late preacher of the Trinity M. E.
Church SoutL, of this place, and they
will read with pleasant surprise, not
unmixed with a considerable degree
of sorrow, thel account of his enter
ing upon the faculty of st. Mary's
College, while it places the rev.
erend gentleman in position more
congenial to his tastes, perhaps,
and more commensurate with his
ability, 1t still robs our city of one of
her favorite pastors. The following
taken from the Bulletin, is an account
of an address delivered by Mr.. Camp
bell before the literary societies of the
College, and his subsequent election
to the Chair of English Literature
Rev. A. M. Campbell, of Los An
geles, then delivered an eloquent ad-
dress before the Ulatus and Thalja
societies, upon The 4ESthetics of
Culture. The forces of nature are
nothing as compared with mind pow
Ell. Every mind which passes under
q master mind receives an impression
from 1t, and thus power is constantly
extended. The heathenism of per-
fected thought does more damage
than invading armies. The converse
mental power is the true end of edu-
cation. The spirit of the present age
is utilitarian and all things are val
ued only for their subssrviency to
financial progress. Utility is good
while it is directed so as not to be di-
verted from its pcogress toward
higher gooi than it possesses i'm itself.
What is to be truly useful for time
must first be made useful for eternity.
Love OF the beautiful is the highest of
PHILOSOPHERS. He who knows the
most is not the best educated, for any
learning which does not appeal to
mans higher life and nature, is sad
ly deficient. There are two cultures
one Of the head and the other of the
heart. In cultivating the former, let
us not neglect the latter, the basis of
which Is the Bible and Christianity.
God is the author of all sciences, and
the love and knowledge of Him is the
foundation Of all wisdom"
AT business meeting of the trus-
tees this afternoon, Rev. A. M. Camp
bell the orator of the day, was elected
Professor of English Literature and
will commence with the next term.
He is a graduate of Emery College,
Oxford, Ga, and has already achieved
some distinction as writer and
thinker. An election to the chair of
Political Economy, which had been
contemplated, was deferred, and Mr.
Campbell will, for the present, assume
the work of that department in con-
nection with his other duties. The
following is the present Board OF the
Faculty: A. l.. Fitzgerald, President
and Professor of Mental and Moral
Science; c. l.. Smith, Professor of
Mathematics; o. III. Roberts, Profess
sor of Languages; E. J. Griffith, Pro.
fessor of Natural Sciences, and A. NJ.

"Funqus Journalism. "

EDITOR HERALD: With a single
straight out from the shoulder slap
you seem inclined to let off that most
supercilious of officiating journals
the Evening Express. This should
not be permitted. When an editor
writes his autobiography and the his.
tory of bis paper in one article, and
with it nauseates and disgusts his
readers through his own columns, 1
think he should be made to feel the
contempt in which he is held, and
with your permission will give few
extracts and comments. The Express
says of fungus journalism:
It abounds in attacks upon individuals and
1t invades the domains OF private life to gath
or materials for offensive and impertinent al
luSions.
The toadying sheet could not better
describe itself. A little while ago it
denounced Mayor B ,audry in the most
malignant, malicious, blackguard
style. A few months since it made
an unwarranted and apparently black
mailing dUIdCh Oh MeSSTS. Il IOou "
O'Brien, and it never refers to its CO.
temporaries except in language one
only hears in the purlieus of fish
market. Now let us make another
extract:
II one of these fungus journalists under
takes TO advocate anybody's interests he
does 1t with such lack OF tact. such profu-
sion of lip-service. that the public recoil dis
gusted. and the person he lauds is injured.
Another truism applied to himself.
Who has done more SOLDERING over
Mayor Beaudry than the Express of
late? Who is now endeavoring to
wbeedle Messrs. Flood & O'Brien into
the belief that the Express never de-
nounced them as enemies to the pub
lie good and insinuated that it might
be we'll to mob their money vaults?
The Express ought, as you say, to
write to the point on fungus journal
ism. 1t is fine specimen of the ge-
nus fungi. READER.

Temple & Workman.

To THE CREDITORS - In the
amended complaint of Chas. J. Ellis
and others to set aside the assignment
of Temple Il Workman, the first verse
in the chapter reads as follows:
"That Spence & Freeman accepted
said trusts and qualified, and have col
lected large sums Of money, to-wit:
the sum of S500,000 as the Plaintiffs
are Informed and believe"
Now this is intended to mislead,
create prejudice, and is simply untrue,
for at no time since the assignment
has the sum OF tWenty thousand dol
lars been in the hands of the assign
ees. All creditors are requested to
call upon the undersigned and exam
inc the receipts and disbursements.
The writer would also earnestly re-
quest the parties in interest to kassist
the assignees in endeavoring to settle
up this business to the best possible
advantage.
Expensive lawsuits and unfounded
charges are well calculated to post
pone the time when satisfactory ad-
justment can be made.
A large estate is in our possession
by assignment; we think we can pay
off the mortgages and have a large
estate left for the creditors, provided,
those litigatious adventures are atan-
doned. E. +. SPENCE.

words as these used in Missouri nor IL

he believes no such words ever existed
outside of California. He further il
lustrated: "There is black niger

Harmony.

In the San Francisco Examiner we
find communication from San Ber-
nardino, in which are contained some
good suggestions concerning the
method of arranging the coming cam
paign, and expressing the hope that
the Convention that will meet on
Wednesday will not ignore its duty,
but assert emphatically the policy
and principles which the party propo-
ses to adopt, and upon which it in
tends to conduct its career in the fu.
ture, and remarks that, 1.-THE expert
ence of the last twelve years ought
surely to teach US something in this
matter, and its lessons are, that any
attempt at compromise with error, or
bartering of principles for policy is su-
icide." All of this is true, and anoth
er suggestion is applicable,-that it is
more important to unite the Demo-
Gratis than to seek Reinforcement from
the Republicans. The Democracy is
conservative in every sense of the
term. 1t does not propose to adopt a
system of proselyting, nor is any such
effort necessity. The original prin-
ciples of the party are imperishable,
yet we do know that there is con-
servative element In the Republican
party that must naturally drift to the
Democracy. This class needspo coax

when they come. The Democracy

SOME days ago the report obtained
circulation that OLIVER P. MORTON
had demised suddenly at the Ebbitt
House, Washington. A Washington
correspondent, who aids in giving
publicity to the rumor, adds that the
good mans death did not create a
great deal of surprise nor call forth a
flood of regrets. This is not to be
wondered at. MORTON is not popular
with the leaders of his own party,
and he Isl despised by his opponents.
But as the rumor was unfounded and
the Indiana Senator is not dead we
shall postpone writing his obituary
until the man who has been half dead
SO long has, in fact, taken up per-
manent residence in a churchyard.
