Rubenstein, father of the condemned
murderer, Pesach Rubenstein, has ad-
dressed most pathetic appeal to ali

He claims that Pesach is God

reproach from Israel and bring the

the eyes of the people and Judges, so
they can secure (?) the innocence of
his son. His son has sworn to his in

Officers and Salaries.

The irrigation bill for this county
introduced by General MCCONNELL
appears to have been drafted with an
eye single to the creation of office and
securing the salaries of the incum-
bents thereof. If the county is divid-
ed into but two districts there will be
some fifteen or more officers, all Of
whom are to be literally paid for a
small amount of service. The bill is
full of talk about officers and their sal
aries, but very little is said about
water. There are very explicit in
structions as to how the officers are to
be elected, but beyond the drawing of
their salary We have but the vaguest
Information as to what they are to do
after election. There is very clearly
drawn section defining the penalty for
the non-payment of irrigation tax,
but what is to be done with the mon
ey-if any is left after paying the off,
GERS salary-no satisfactory instruc-
tions are given. What shall be done
with the water of private artesian
wells already dug is laid down IN Ian
guage un mistakable, but of how and
when other wells are to be bored,
nothing is said. That every mans
farm shall be taxed for irrigation
funds is distinctly stated, but that any
farm shall be supplied with water is
not even vaguely hinted at Every
provision is made for the issuance and
sale of bonds, but except for the pay
ment of the officers salaries, what
shall be done with the proceeds OF
these bonds, no man knoweth. Sure

san Francisco News.

SAN Francisco, 22d.-A boy twen-
ty years of age, named II. Il. Mann,
was arrested at ColfaX yesterday
charged with grand larceny of three
certificates of deposit on the Nevada
Bank, two for $50 each and one for
S75 the property of A. T.. Murdock.
Mann was friend of Murdock's and on
visiting his room took advantage of
the opportunity afforded by his friend
having fallen asleep and distracted
the certificates from Murdocls's pock-
ct book. The lad was homesick and
took the money to pay his passage to
his friends in the East.
\ dispatch has been received from
Callao announcing the arrival in that
port of the bark Coloma, with Capt.
Howes, the master, insane. He is
also reported TO have shot the first
officer without provocat;on.
At two o'clock this afternoon a man
named Patrick Garriday presented a
forged check for payment at the Bank
of California. The bogus signatures
were discovered Immediately and the
man arrested.
A draft or check was drawn on the
Colusa Bank payable to Joseph Cor
ley & Co. for $6,5l2.
Frederick Ngro had difficulty
with companion in house on Broad
way this afternoon, and attempted to
use razor upon him.
The Chinese fishermen along the
shores of San Francisco Bay, engaged
in the capture of shrimps, drive their
stake nets in any location favorable.
At the mouth of Petaluma creek,
stakes have been driven by them
from each shore toward the middle
of the channel, leaving only a
narrow passageway for shipping.
This morning the steamer j. Nj.
Donahue, in swinging little out of
the direct course, on her way to San
Francisco, ran into the line of stakes
and carried away large number of
them.
A semi official estimate of the at
tendance within the enclosures at the
race fixes the number at 10000. At
the main gate 4,600 tickets were Ia
ken. At the other entrance about 81
900 were taken. The free list included
the Legislature, Board of Supervisors,
members of the press, company OF
militia and many others. From the
sale of tickets the Club realized about
$4,000. The other sources of revenue,
such as the sale of reserved seats, priv
ileges and per centage on pool sales
swell in the aggregate the receipts to
$4,000 or $4,000. At this time it is
impossible to determine how much
money was represented in the pools,
but competent judges who carefully
nbcarva1 tho pnoI COLI NJ i ~ at a 4, q
the sum of 100000 is in the pools. OF
this amount the Club receives two per
cent. and the seller one per cent. An
other item of profit is the $4,000 taken
from distanced horses, and which un-
der the rule of the Club reverts to it.
Altogether it is supposed the profits of
the six members composing the Pacific
Jockey Club amount to $4,000. Very
good profits for such an unmitlgated
farce, if no worse.

This play, which was presented by
Plpers Opera House Company last
night, we consider the best of the sea-

tractive plot, it presents a field we'll
suited for the display of the talent in
this company. The part of Rosa Leigh
as taken by Miss Badger is seldom if
ever equaled. All of the finer shades
of expression which form the attract
iveness Of the part were brought out
to perfection. Mr.. j. B. Ashton as
Elliot Gray maintained the character
finely. Several others acquitted them
selves with credit, among whom We're
Jno. w. Dunno as Burberry Kobb, +.

The County Funds.

1t has been asserted by sheet pub
lished in this city, that has no object
in view save that of its own existence,
that the purpose of the HERALD in
urging the settlement Of the estate OF
TEMPLE & WORKMAN in the Bank
ruptcy Court was to disqualify Mr..
TEMPLE from holding the office OF
County Treasurer. Until the state
ment was made the idea of disqualifi.
cation never occurred to us. If we
had given the subject thought at all
we should have reached the conclu-
sion that the inexcusable, if not crimi-
nal, management of his business by
those 10 whom he had entrusted It,
had so far disqualified Mr.. TEMPLE
from holding the office 10 which lie
had been elected that the discussion
of the question was entirely unneces
sary. In fact, if not in law, the bank
of TEMPLE & WORKMAN is a defaulter
to the city of Los Angeles in the sum
of S23, 900, and according to the report
of the assignees Mr.. TEMPLE is him
self a bankrupt. He is not, therefore,
qualified to fill the office of County
Treasurer. The question Of his right
to delegate his office to another is one
rather for the decision of the courts
than for newspaper discussion. With
the paper alluded to at the beginning
of this article the legal or moral right
to do a thing in no way interferes with
its support of the measure, provided
its own ends are attained thereby. 1t
has but one aim and purpose, which is
to live, and to do this it would use the
livery of heaven as cloak to hide its
serfdom to the devil. The Treasury
ship is matter between Mr.. TEMPLE
and those whose funds, but for his
insolvency, he would have become
the custodian. If,after the great finan-
cial change Mr.. TEMPLE has under
gone, it is lawful and the people de.
sire that he shall have control of their
money, he will act as County Treas
urer; but if it is not deemed safe to
entrust the county funds to one
who, no matter how honest, is
deeply involved, then the ap-
pointment of County Treasurer
is duty devolving upon the Board of
Supervisors. Certainly Mr.. TEMPLE
cannot appoint successor. From a
common sense stand point, disqualifi-
cation to hold an office carries with it
disqualification to appoint an officer.
The anxiety of certain parties to place
the county funds in the hands of Mr..
TEMPLES assignees, is calculated to
create doubt in the public mind as
to their honesty of purpose, and may
result in the defeat of their scheme.
In view Of the fact that the city has
temporarily, and perhaps finally, lost
$4,000, the people owe it TO them
selves to see that the county money
is placed where no risk of its loss will
be incurred.

W As HE ROBBED.
An Alleged Daylight Robbery.

Yesterday morning Mr.. f. Massus, q
grocery keeper. doing business at the
corner OF Constance and First streets,
intrusted his nephew. Albert Yates, a
boy thirteen years OF age. with S54 so In
currency. TO pay "a bill at the firm OF
Lochte 4 Cordez. The boy took the ear
at the corner Of Magazine and First
streets at o'clock in the morning. aud
by 10 O'Clock the same day ne had not
put in an appearance at the store. Mr..
Massus, becoming alarmed at the long
absence OF his nephew, repaired to the
firm of Lochte q Cordez, and inquired
IL Yates had settled the bill Being
answered in the negative he repaired TO
the Chief OF Detectives Office and laid
the facts before Capt. Malone. In the
meantime the boy went around to the
firm and paid $38 90 on account: one OF
the clerks OF the firm being aware that
his father was in search OF him, took
him around to the Central Station. An
interview with Yates elected the fact
that while he was counting the money,
at the corner of Poydras and Magazine
streets. a crowd Of three or four negroes
closed in upon him and one OF the
party pinched SIG OF the pile. On being
interrogated by his uncle that when
ut iouuu tudt tuS mouey udu UeeT
stolen, why he did not come Immediately
home. Yates responded by saying that
he was afraid OF being fiogged. The
detectives did not exactly swallow this
statement OF Yates, and his uncle look
ed as IL 1t might have been told with
more precision.
The last seen of Yates he was being
towed home by his wrathful uncle, and
he looked as ii he saw whole forest in
the distance.
