GABRIEL CoNRoY,"
BY BRET HARTE,
Begins in the November number
and will run for twelve months. This is Mr..
Hartes first extended work. The scenes and
characters, which the author has chosen from
his favorite field, California, are painted with
characteristic vividness and power; and the
work is without doubt the most graphic rec
ord Of early California life that has yet ap-
peared. We shall also begin in the January
number,
"PHILIP NOLAN'S FRIENDS,
Or, Show Your Passports,''
By EDWARD EVERETT HALE.
The scene of this story is laid in the South
western territory, now forming the States of
Louisiana and Texas, at the time Of Aaron
Burr's treason. The characters lived in a
section which was now American, now French
and now Spanish, and this record of their
adventurous lives makes story of intense
and unfagging interest throughout.

The Chinese Question In Resolutions.

Yesterday we stated that the credit
of opposing Chinese immigration as a
party belonged to the Democracy and
that the individual honor of placing
the party on record on this issue rested
on General JOHN r. MCCONNELL of
this city. We have since been placed
In possession of the address to the peo-
pie OF the United States on the Chi
nese question issued by the Demo-
cratic State Convention of 1869, to-
gether with the platform of the party
for the campaign of that year. We
shall in a day or two reproduce the
address. The following are the Anti
Chinese resolutions drafted by General
MCCONNELL and unanimously adopt
ed by the convention:
Resolved, That we are opposed to
the adoption of the proposed Fifteenth
Amendment to the United States
Constitution, believing the same to be
designed and, if adopted, certain to

with his efforts to earn livelihood,
to build up an aristocratic class OF
oligarchs in our midst, created and
maintained by Chinese votes; to give
the negro and Chinaman the right to
vote and hold office; and that its pas
sage would be inimIcal to the best in
terests of our country; in direct oppo.
sition to the teaching of Washington,
Adams, Jefferson and the other foun-
ders of the Republic; in fragrant viola.
tion of the planest principles upon

The Good Time Coming.

Although money is abundant in our
banks and may be had in large or
small sums at the usual rate of inter-
est, on satisfactory security, there is
still general complaint of hard times
and our business firms find it difficult
to make their usual collections. The
cry of hard times is general through
out the State, and though We have
suffered the calamity of local bank
failure, we are confident that the
money stress is less stringent with us
than with many other communities.
The monthly disbursement of about
one hundred thousand dollars in this
county by the Southern Pacific Rail-
road Company has materially aided
our community in financial matters.
Notwithstanding the self apparent
fact that we are steadily, and more
rapidly than might have been antici-
pated, recovering from the effects of
the bank failure, we must still expect
the lapse Of four or five months be-
fore the arrival of the good time COM
ing. The farmers have been favored
with abundant crops, and the harvest
is upon us, but the return for our farm
products is yet some distance off.
Railroad communication between our
city and San Francisco will be effect
ed not later than October, and about
that time the farmers will realize from
their crops; hence our conclusion is
that we may anticipate return of the
flush times late in the Fall or about
the beginning of Winter. Meantime,
all should sail close to the wind. The
times are not propitious for rash in
vestments or venturesome specula-
tions. To go slow is an almost sure
way to avoid advancing backward.
We have no cause for complaint, and
those who feel inclined to murmur
should read the following extract from
letter written in the interior of Penn
sylvania under date of the 18th inst:
"Times are awful. Hundreds and
hundreds of men can find nothing to
do, and it is getting worse all over the
East. Railroads are discharging hum
dreds of men; mills are closing down,
and merchants are falling every

Is HAYES whole man? The ques-
tion should be definitely answered.
When first nominated the Republi-
cans told us he had lost leg in the
war, and he was therefore good
stumper. 1t is now known that he
has two good legs, and the missing
limb is claimed to be an arm. We
doubt this, because the Governor is
too good q striker for one-armed
man. He knocked BLAINE out of
time and the Republican party into
smithereens at single blow. He
could not have done this with cork
arm. Is the Governor a whole man?
is the all-important question of the

put up and they feared his nomina-
tion, therefore they professed to be-
lieve him a. weak man. The dodge
aided materially in defeating him, and
now the Republicans are trying the
same game on TILDEN. 1t may win.
But whether it does or not Republi-
can leaders feel that TILDEN is the
strongest man the Democrats could
nominate and if he is nominated they
will realize the impossibility of elect
ing HAYES.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1876-06-25
In Defense OF the Council.

However much disposed to do so,
the HERALD has seldom found occa-
sion to commend or defend the Com
mon Council, and now that an oppor-
tunity presents itself, which enables
US to come in as the champion of our
City Fathers, we embrace it with
pleasure. The Express of last even
ing attacks the Council ON the ground
of Inconsistency in voting $4,000 for a
foot-bridge to reach East Los Angeles
and rejecting petition for pridge or
bridges across arroyas on the exten-
sion of Temple street." This needs
some explanation. In the first place
the people of East Los Angeles built
and maintained at their own expense
foot t-bridge across the river. Next,
the East Los Angeles Street Railroad
Company built a bridge across the
river for their road, and as the city
had established a school in East Los
Angeles, the Council, in order to Sc
cure communication with that part of
the city, purchased of the Railway
Company the right of way for foot pas
sengers over their bridge, paying
therefor the sum of three hundred dol
lars. There are good many people
living in East Los Angeles, and there
is public school maintained there.
When there is a school house and as
many homes beyond the. arroyo on
Temple street, we take it for granted
the Council will provide the necessa-
ry means for communication.

In this mornings HERALD we print
bill introduced in the House by Mr..
LANE, Of Oregon, to provide for the
settlement of pasturage lands in the
arid regions Of the United States,
which will be read with interest by
the people of the Pacific coast. We
have vast area of land in Nevada,
Arizona and Utah, which will come
under the provisions of this bill. Con-
gresham WIGaINToN, to whom we
are indebted for copy of the bill, in a
private note, informs us that after
many consultations with Professor
RowELL, head of the geological and
geographical surveys of the new
States and Territories, Mr.. LANE and
himself have reached the conclusion
that the bill embodies the best solu-
ton of the pasture land question.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1876-06-25

A CORRESPONDENT OF the Repnbst-
can thinks the ignorance of the HER
AID relative to HAYES is something
to be ashamed of. That's one view of
it. The fact that the HERALD gave
the Republicans the first accurate
information as to the political history
of their candidate for President is
something to our credit; though we
don't boast of it, It's safe bet, that
the author of that communication
learned all that he knows of HAYES
from the HERALD.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1876-06-25

In the acknowledgment that If the
Democrats nominate TILDEN the
chance for HAYES election is reduced
to almost nothing, the Record Union
proves itself much more honest than
any other Republican newspaper of
California. The constant cry Of the
average Republican editor is, "Oh, we
hope the Democrats will nominate
T1LDEN.n Nobody believes this; the
gentlemen do notbelieve itthemselves.
Democrats adopted the same ruse.
They said they hoped BLAINE would
be nominated, but they did not mean
1t. They knew that BLAINE was the
strongest man the Republicans could

white people should not be brought

costs comparatively nothing, and who
