DAYLIGHT Is BREAKING. P. M. S.
Co.'S steamship CITY Of Panama will be
at this port on the 10th prox. This trip
will not be ON her regular Spring and
Summer time, but she comes here to
take BOO, 900 hoop-polls from Macleay
& Co., and 20 cords of water-pipe. from
the Tumwater factory. This begins to
look like business, and is very encour-
aging. The same steamer took $50, 900
hoop-poles from Tacoma which would
have been shipped here had we the
Tenino Railroad. The wharf is fin
ished. The steamships are coming.
Now for the railroad. No time to slum-

woMANs SUFFRAGE CONVENTION.
From the Independent.l


The Oregon State Woman's Suffrage
Convention convened at Salem on the
9th inst, with q large attendance of
prominent citizens from all parts of the
State. The three days session which
followed is described as being the most
profitable and harmonious affair. Res
olutions, lectures, essays, songs, recita-
tons, etc., comprised the bill of literary
fare, and when the convention ad-
journed sine die all went away rejoicing
over its success, and congratulating
each other upon the growing prevalence
of liberal ideas among the people.
Among other transactions OF the con.
vention, G. A. Reed, Mrs. Loughery,
Jacob Conser, Mrs. johnson, Mrs. Fos-
ter and Mrs. Dunniway We're appointed
committee to present petitions, men,
orials, etc., to the next session of the
Legislature. Officers were elected as
follows: President, Mrs. Laughery;
Recording Secretary, Mrs. Victor; Cor
responding Secretary, Mrs. De Wore
johnson. Mrs. L. f. Victor, in note
to the Statesman, commenting upon the
success of the convention, says:
"There are two points to be made
out of this success; first, that the cause
for which we are conscientiously work
ing is gaining in weight and influence
among men and women; and secondly,
that women especially are at last show
ing willingness to give countenance
and support to movement set on foot
in their own interest by few resolutc
individuals of their own sex.
We have been able to show in this
convention that desire for freedom is
not inconsistent with virtue, culture
and social recreation.

INCLINATION TO EXTREMES.

On questions of interest-especially
those Of a political complexion-the
people of the United States are in
clined to run to extremes. On no
one subject is this prediction more
strongly illustrated than that of rail-
road corporations and no State in the
Union presents stronger individual
illustration of this popularity than
California. Fifteen years ago we
were willing and anxious to pledge
every dollars worth of our property
to make any sacrifice to secure the
building of trans-centinental road,
and for the development of railroad
system throughout our State. The
desire for railroads was SO earnest and
intense that we did not hesitate-nay,
we even petitioned for opportunities
to impose railroad subsidy taxes on
towns, counties and the State. That
in some instances we were more gem
erous than wise-more liberal than
our means would justify-cannot, per-
haps, be denied; but when we calmly
compare what we have gained by
means of the railroads built through
our assistance with what we all know
would have been our condition with
out those roads, we are at loss to de-

N. GREEN CURTIS.

1t is understood that prominent Democrats
have importuned n. Green Curtis, of this
CITY to become candidate for Congress from
the Second Congressional District at the fall
election, and that he has partially consented
to allow them to use his name for that posi-
ton.
One of our Sacramento exchanges
the Bee or Record-gives publicity
as above to the desire of many voters
of both the Democratic and Republi-
can parties of the Second District, that
n. GREEN CURTIS shall accept the
nomination of the Democratic party
for Congress. We can only express
our regret that we have not an oppor-
tunity of voting for him. If the peo-
pie of the Union only knew N.GREEN
CURTIS as we know him they would
gladly elect him to any position to
which he might aspire. He is the
soul of honor, full of charity, full of dig
nifty, and full of all the attributes that
contribute to the creation of great
American. If he is selected to repre-
sent his district in Congress, the coun-
try will have cause to rejoice, and the
first time he is called to the chair to
relieve the Speaker his ability will be
made manifest to all.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1876-04-25
THE TIMES.

One of the answers to the hard
times croakers which one meets on
the streets almost every day, that
cannot be controverted, is that no city
or locality on the Pacific coast is more
prosperous or evinces healthier bus
mess tone than Los Angeles does to-
day. We doubt if there is city in
the United States of like population
that shows more activity and enter
prise than ours. Times are hard eve.
ry where. We have been travelling
too fast. Expenses have not been
gauged by the income. No effort has
been made to balance the earnings
with the expeditures. A change of
policy must be made or general bank
ruptcy will follow. These remarks
apply to the whole Pacific slope-as
much to any other place as to Los An
geles. But we are as well if not better
off than our neighbors and we are fast
recovering from the effects Of the mon
ey panic which originated with the
suspension of the Bank of California
and eliminated with the collapse of
the Bank of TEMPLE & WORKMAN.
There is now an abundance of money
in the market and borrowers are ac-
commodated on reasonable terms. Our
bank deposits are steadily increasing,
the demand for real estate grows day
by day, there seems to be no falling
off in building enterprise and trade is
prosperous and steady. The season
has been propitious and we have as
surance of abundant crops. With the
completion of the railroad between
this city and San Francisco, an event
that will transpire between the first
and fifteenth of September, we shall
realize business impetus never be-
fore felt here and with the close of
the summer we shall be able to note
degree of prosperity as gratifying to
the community as, to the croakers, it
is unexpected. We would suggest to
those gentlemen who complain of hard
times in Los Angeles that visit to
some other locality would induce the
belief that times are something hard
er elsewhere.

termine whether we have not acted
wisely after all. But in time we be-
gan to drift toward the other extreme,
and once the current fairly set in that
direction it was not long until denun-
citation of railroads and railroad corpo-
rations was the path selected by news
paper writers and politicians as the
one most likely to lead to the apex of
popular favor. BY this path majori-
ty of the Legislature reached the cap
ital, and through this anti-railroad
majority NEWTON BOOTH lifted him.
self to seat in the United States Sem
ate. But with the touching of the
anti-railroad bank the waves began to
recede, and now at the close of anoth-
er session of the Legislature
we find ourselves midway of
the stream. quietly riding in conserva-
tive water. From one side is heard
the faint cry of anti-railroad fanatics,
while from the other we behold as the
fruits of our railroad system, progress
and development such as no other
State in the Union can ex hibit within
like period of time. With our rail-
roads have come towns, farms, popu-
lation and taxable wealth. In ten
years the locomotive has carried us to
I A.
old time methods of locomotion fifty
years to reach. The people compre-
hend the situation, and we venture
the prediction that the day is near at
hand when even our Legislature will
recognize the building and operating
of railroads as legitimate business
deserving both protection and encour-
agement from the State.

DOUBTFUL STATES,

1t is alleged that this statement
comes from Democratic source, and
the CdI congratulates itself upon this
fact. Wherever the estimate origi-
mates it isvery erroneous in some par
ticulars. California may be regarded
as for the Democracy with her six
votes. Nevada is certain with her
three votes, for the reason, if for no
other, that her people are disgusted
with the manner In which non-resi-
dent millionaire, politically incompe-
tent, fraudulently obtained a seat in
the United States Senate, and although
Colorado, under the laDe State issue,
has succeeded, through the influence
of government patronage and the use
of such means as are characteristic of
the methods of the present Admins
tration, in obtaining an enabling act
to secure two more Radical members
of the United States Senate, it cannot
be denied that the mass of her citizens
are Democratic in their sentiments.
Therefore we count Oh three more
votes for the Democracy. In Presi-
Dental campaign Connecticut is gen.
orally pretty certain with her six
votes for the Deai Jcrst.c candidate.
This would give Is according to the
above estimate, which we accept with
these exceptions, one hundred and
thirty-six votes in the electoral col.
lege. We will predict that our esti-
mate is nearer correct than that of the
Call.
