Patrons Of HusbandrY.

The Patrons of h husbandry, Gran
gers and kindred organizations are
not increasing in the East as in for
mer days. Whether they have worked
up all the material suitable to make
members of. or have worn Oft the nov
city of the Order and quit, we do not
know. Howeyer,we suspect that pol
itics may have something to do with
it. The organization has tried to ig-
more politics, but some of its members
would occasionally break over and Of
fer resolutions that squinted towards
bath in the dirty pool, manifesting
a disposition to take the helm of gov
ernment and run the machine a while.
These resolutions generally had q
leaning toward one or the other great
political parties. These things just
upon the eve of the Presidential elec-
tion are we'll calculated to shake the
very foundations of the organization.
We hope the Order will have wisdom
enough to check up on this line and
keep the brakes down.

Weather Report.

WHITEWATER, Feb. 10th.-It COM
menced raining here very hard yester-
day morning and at intervals all the
day. This morning it cleared up, but
the wind is blowing Il terrific gale up
to the present hour. No damage was
done as far as yet learned from the
rain fall. 1t is clearing up now.
SAN BERNARDINo, Feb. 10th.-The
storm which set in here on the even
ing of the Sth, continued until this
morning at an early hour. Between
the hours Of six and nine O'clock last
night, we experienced genuine hur-
ricane. The water fall during these
three hours was greater than during
the previous twenty-four hours. 1t
come down in perfect torrents, flood
ing the streets completely, and IytIe
Creek this morning flooding the sur
rounding country. To-day it appears
to be clearing up, scattering clouds
flying though. 1t is quite cool.
HOODS CAMP, Feb. 10. Two miles
East of the San Fernando Mountains.
The rain which'we experienced was
the heaviest of the season. The Gan
ta Clara River and other streams over
flowing their banks, and the passage
of stages are impossible. The wealth
eris clearing up to-day, though it is
very cold here and streams are falling
rapidly. The stream carried away
nearly or quite one mile of the tele-
graph lines which are being put up
as rapidly as possible, the river admit
ting the line men to cross.
SAN FERNANDO, Feb. 10th.-Clear-
ing up. The rain fall was very heavy.
A stage left this morning for the
North.
COTTON, Feb. 10th. The Santa An
na Railroad bridge at this place stood
the storm through. The river was
running very high and overfowing its
banks in many places. Clearing up
to-day. Weather cool.

The Lenton-W Ware Troupe.


AS this company become better
known here their audiences keep in
creasing both in numbers and in
quality. Turn Vereins Hall was COM
fortably filled last night and many of
our first citizens with their families
were present. We have already COM
mented fully OH the character of the
performance, and nothing that we can
add now will strengthen our first as
sertions. Without doubt this is the
best company of its kind that has ever
visited Los Angeles. The Lenton
Family are in fact the eighth wonder;
they excel any acrobatic performance
that we have ever before witnessed.
Mrs. Ware is immense in her comic
songs and impersonations, and Messrs.
Bernard anu Condor are equally TAX
ing in their negro sketches. Mr.. Ware
made q decided hit in his illustrated
song of The House that Jack Built. In
fact there is not an inferior performer
in the company, and the entertain
ment is chaste and refined in every
part. We advise all who have not
seen this company to attend their per-
formance tonight.

The Pacific Mail Company.

The Pacific Mail Steamship Compa-
ny is pressing its suits against ex-
Postmaster w. S. King, now men,
ber of Congress; also against John G.
Schumacher, of Brooklyn and member
of Congress, for money alleged to have
been paid to King and Schumacher for
their services in assisting the passage
Of the Pacific Mail subsidy measure
through Congress. 1t seems that the
Pacific Mail Company made r. B. r.
win their agent, and put in his hands
$780, 900 to use in engineering the sub
sidy bill through Congress. Irwin was
a success. He procured the services
of these two members and Heaven
only knows how many Others, and
pushed, or hribed the bill through
Congress. By this bill the Mail Com
pany received several millions from
the Government treasure, and now
they are sueing to recover their bribe
money back again. This is perhaps
the checklist case ever presented To-
the American public. There is not
the least probability that the subsidy
bill would have passed through
Congress if this bribe money had
not been used, and if this COM
pany can by law recover their bribe
money, it does seem that the gov
ernment should have the subsidy
refunded, upon the ground that the
whole thing was a fraud. But as
there is no law to reach the scoundrels
Uncle Sam must stand the loss. If
the government-like individuals
could profit by experience, they would
make law to meet all such cases.
This whole batch, bribed and bribers,
should now be in the States prison
and theirproperty confiscated. But in
lieu of making laws to punish such
robbers, the time of Congress is oecu-
pied in making long speeches to con-
vince the world that jeff. Davis has no
right to vote, because he was Presi-
dent of the Confederate States. We
presume that Mr.. Davis does not care
snap whether he ever votes again or
not, provided we can have an honest,
economical government. But Mr.. Da-
Wis and all his friends, and nearly all
his enemies, are getting tired of this
kind of humbugery. 1t is apparent to
everybody that the object is, to draw
the attention of n taxed, burdenetl
people away from the main causes oi
their oppression and distress to issues
that are of 10 moment-that are dead
and ought to be forgotten. There are
hundreds of cases like this Pacific
Mail case, that ought to have the im-
mediate attention of Congress, and il
they cannot obtain restitution they
should, at least, prepare against future
! robbery.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1876-02-11
Business in our City.

During the moist weather this last
few weeks, the business of our city has
not been as brisk as it was previously.
There is no complaint however as
everybody is glad to see the rain, all
feeling that behind these "angry
cloudsn Providence is only hiding
smiling face. The overwhelming
crops that will be raised throughout
the valley thisy year will create eanactiv-
i.y in business the coming summer and
fall, such as the inhabitants of our
city have never seen before. The fu-
ture looks encouraging in every re-
spect. Our grain crop will more than
double any we have ever had before,
and our fruit and grape crops bid fair
to treble the crop of last season. And
the wool-growers too, feel jubilant
while,viewing their bleating herds all
fat and grazing upon range, on
better than which, Abraham nor
Lot never herded their stock.
Add to all this the increase
of trade that our extending railroads
will bring to our city, and We have
enough to cheer us. Our hotels are
now full of strangers, and from all the
indications We can gather, there will
be an immense influx here as soon as
the stormy weather is over. They are
coming by the thousand, and u major
ity are coming to buy homes and stay
here. With such prospects ahead, we
can certainly afford to smile and wait.
But all that we can say will not COM
fort few old constitutional GROWERS.
Such men never were in the right
place-never had any luck. Their dish
was always bottom side up when it
rained blessings, and it would be so if
they were in Paradise. have no
word of comfort for such people, and
always cross the street when see
them coming. Ten minutes CONVEX
sation with such an one leaves an in
fiuence on me as dreadful as night

Colorado Canal.

1t looks like pity to spoil big
government job, which would have
made many poor man rich, and for
aught we know, have made all South
ern California blossom as the rose. A
great many people have been dream
ing of summer breeZes to be waited
from the fresh water lake across the
mountains, and the genial spring and
summer showers that were to ferfiize
our valley as soon as that little canal
was dug. But CdlJorneno has dipped
his spade in just at the wrong time,
and says we can't have any canal.
Mexico will not permit it, and the
Navigation Company object to having
the Colorado river disturbed, So we
are doomed to snuff the dry sand from
the Mojave desert for some time to
come. AS it is all sour grapes now We
may as well say what we think about
it. In the first place, the attempt to
fill the Mojave desert and make a
fresh water lake of it, sixty feet deep,
is about as futile as the attempt to fill
willow basket with water by dipping it
in with teaspoon. That desert would
swallow two such rivers as the Colo
RADIO during the Summer and hardly
leave a moist spot. Ii during the
Winter there should be an accumula-
tion of water, the evaporation during
the Summer would wipe it dry in a
week. If by canal the gulf of Cali
fornia could be let into it at the lower
end, and the river emptied into it at
the upper end, the desert could be
made lake, which would remain as
long as the canals were kept open and
no longer. But what is the use of it?
Who wants it, and what good will it
do? There is about two-thirds of the
earth covered with water now, and we
can see no reason why we should SUBJ
merge another section of 1t. We shall
need all the dry land we can get by
and by. The Hollanders have been
al great expense and labor to redeem
a little section of earth from the do
minion OF the ocean, and it feeds
millions of their people. But we
are informed that it will change
our dry climate into a moist one-give
US Summer showers, etc. This is just
what we don't want. Our climate as
it Is, is the richest inheritance we
have, and If it were changed to a
moist, rainy climate, with our rich,
