THE heated term has produced
some most APPALLING results in the
Northern cities. The Philadelphia
Press reports Gmety-eight deaths in
that city in six days, all produced
by the heat. In New York over
two thousand children, under five
years of age, have died in less than
twenty-five days. This is an indi-
rect result of the heat, as cholera
infantum is the prevalent disease.
Fifty doctors have been appointed
to devise measures to stay the fearful
mortality among the children. In
all the large cities many prostrations
from heat are daily reported. This
does not, however, apply to South
ern cities. Memphis, for instance,
was never more healthy than now,
although for some days the weather
has been unusually warm and OPP
pressive. Memphis is a healthy
summer resort and we commend it
to all who are willing to try it the
summer through.

white mans life is hardly safe, aud where
they kill on very slight p%rovocation.
1t took the Governor a long time
to come to the conclusion to do his
duty. The laws are intended for
all and should be enforced upon
white and black alike. The out
break at Hamburg is no more
chargeable to the whites as a class
than the death of seven men in a
fraeas at Newark the other day
should be attributed to the lawless-
ness of New Jersey. 1t was unex-
pected, unprecedented; it was not
a political move and had no politi-
cal bearing. The negroes outnum-
bered the whites, were well armed
and took refuge in a large building,
yet they suffered, as they always do,
in conflicts with the whites. Let
the law take its course in this case
as it would in New Jersey, Penn
sylvania, Illinois, Tennessee, or
anywhere else. The white people
of the South may condemn law
,lessness as much as they please, it
amounts to nothing in a Radical
State, where the authorities make
no effort to punish theperpetrators.

Alden Preserved Fruits.

Yesterday Mr.. GEO. B. DAVIS, pro-
prietor of the Alden Fruit Preserving
Works in this city, had on exhibition
in PREUsS' drug store, next door to
the HERALD office, samples of fruit
and vegetables preserved by this pro-
cess at the factory in Jackson, Amador
county. The samples included raisins
made from the white Muscat of Alex
andria grape, prunes, apricots, peach
es, apples, peas, corn, pumpkins, po-
tatoes and onions. Many of these ar
ticles are two years old, and the veg
tables when placed in water a few
moments assume their natural size
and flavor, and are as fresh as when
first taken from the fields. The OBJ
ject of Mr.. DAVIS in exhibiting these
articles is to induce our people to pay
more attention to the cultivation of
such fruits and vegetables as are here
named. No part of the State is better
adapted for the growth of fruit and
vegetables than Los Angeles valley.
With our rich soil and genial climate
we can grow anything indigenous to
the tropical and temperate zones, in
such abundance as to draw forth ex-
carnations of astonishment from the
new conner. We only need to plant
the seed and the harvest follows. We
can produce as fine apples, peaches,
pears, prunes and other temperate
zone fruits, and in as great abundance
as any other section of the world, and
we grow more potatoes, peas, corn,
pumpkins and other vegetables to the
acre and with less labor than any
other valley on the Pacific coast. Mr.
DAVIS has the factory ready, and if
our people are wise they will turn
their attention to growing such fruit
and vegetables as he requires. Los
Angeles ought to export annually
thousands of tons of Alden preserved
fruit and vegetables.

WHAT is known as the "PIERsON
Divorce Bill' has passed the Senate
by vote of two to one. 1t reduces
the causes of divorce to two-extreme
cruelty and infidelity. 1t is humane
and generous measure for which wives
ought to feel forever grateful to the
author of the bill and to those who are
assisting him to convert it into
law. The husband may whip
his wife in moderation, treat
her reasonably rude and semi
cruel; he may let her go almost
naked but not quite; he may starve
her half or nearly half to death and
he may subject her to a degree of cru
city equal to that to which the noble
red man sometimes imposes on his
squaw, but he must not proceed to
extremes. That would be grounds fer
a divorce. Really the wives of the
State ought to present PIERsoN with
a leather medal.

An Advocate of Fraud.

Although it was explicitly stated
by Senator CHANDLER that in re-
opening the case of the Lomos de San
taigo grant, great care should be ia"
ken not TO disturb actual settlers who
had purchased farms within the le-
gitimate boundaries of the grant in
good faith and were therefore inno-
cent purchasers, an evening paper
of this city partly owned and entirely
controlled by gentlemen who claim
grant, the boundaries of which it is
alleged have been extended, continu-
es to send forth column platitudes on
the injustice of disturbing innocent
purchasers. It's arguments are hard
ly worthy the name of arguments.
They are the sophistry and special
pleadings of an interested party. The
Express was among the first to edito-
rally notice the movement for setting
aside the patent of the Lomos de San
tiago grant. 1t spoke in terms COM
endatory of the act and stated that If
the Southern Pacific Railroad COM
pany succe eded in its purpose and
opened the vast coal fields believed
to exist within the claimed limits of
the grant, a lasting benefit would be
thereby conferred on this portion of
the State. But suddenly that paper
changed its views on the fraudulentti til
tie question and we now find it labor
ing with might and main at the-for
an honest journal-singular task of
proving that courts nor the govern
ment have the right to correct an er-
ror of Judgment; that decision OBJ
tanned on false or misconstrued evil
dence is irrevocable; that fraud once
successful must always remain sue
cessful and that possession obtained
on false evidence though confronted
| by mountains of truth, cannot be dis
| turbed. 1t is unfortunate for the po-
siton assumed by our cotemporary,
that common honesty, common sense,
common law, judges, the courts and
the government, all deny the logic of
! its argument; when a mistake cannot
be corrected; when decision is ire
vocable; when it is accepted that
nothing that ever was was wrong and
therefore everything that is is right,
| the right of the government to
set aside a land patent obtained
by Misrepresentation and fraud
may be denied. Then, and not
until then we may expect to hear
no more of new hearings and reversed
| judgments. Then man will be Il god,
immaculate in character and infinite
| in wisdom. Then there will be no
more courts, no government, no law.
| All will move onward in one harmo-
nious whole and the verbosity of the
Express will have given place to the
music of the spheres. But until the
advent of that glorious era, there will
be mistakes and corrections, courts
and lawsuits, frauds committed and
frauds punished. Truth will OCCASION
ally go to grass and error get the bet
ter of her pains. Expanded grants no
matter whether called Lomos de San
tiago or San Vicente will be investi-
gated and wrongs will be righted in
order that honest men may come by
their dues. All these things will hap

be reaching a realizing sense OF their
duty. The press gag bills would have
passed early in the session, now they
are hopelessly dead. If ARCHER had
pushed his bill for the destruction of
railroads at its introduction it would
have passed both Houses and been
knocked on the head by the Governor
long ago. Now it could not get through
the Assembly which passed it few
weeks ago by an almost unanimous
vote. We have hopes of the Legisla-
ture yet. 1t is very sick body, but it
may live--not to do anything that it
should do, but to undo some of the
mischief it has done.

and during his remarks stated that

the charge is true. JONES owns a

he also controls the Express of this

to the District Attorney recently pub
