HAS His Price,"
pany.

We have been assured by the Express, that
even so great and good a man as Senator
JONES has his. .price.-HeTald
If we have ever given such assurance in the
spirit implied by the Herald in the above
sentence, we are not aware ofit.-ErpreSs
AT meeting held in this city on
the 9th of December, 1875, for the
purpose of deyising means for extend
ing the Los Angeles & Independence
road into the interior, at which one of
the editors of the Express was a
speaker, and the whole proceedings of
which that paper endorsed, one of
the orators, after asserting that he
spoke by authority, said;
"John p. Jones thinks as much of himself
as he does of Los Angeles. He has built a
road out OF his own resources, and it is a sue
cess. Jones is human. He is in accord with
your projects. He gives you the preference,
but IL the Southern Pacific or any other cor
poration offers him his price, he would be an
ass not to take it, in case you do not help
yourselves -"
The objective point. of the meeting
at which this threatening language
was used was to induce the people of
Los Angeles to vote subsidy of $780,
0e0 to Mr.. JONES road, and we SUBJ
nit that the words above quoted con-
tain a direct threat that if we do not
come down with the demanded sub
sidy the "price" will be accepted
from the Southern Pacific. Now we
respectfully ask what assurance have
the people of this and San Bernardino
counties that this "price" will not be
accepted after the S4OO, 900 from our
and the $500, 200 from the others have
been voted? If a perfectly satisfactory
guarantee can be given that the road
will be built and that it and its bonds
will not be turned over to the Southern
Pacific Railroad Company, and the
majority of the taxpayers express a
willingness to impose this heavy debt
upon themselves, we shall not offer a
word in opposition, but until these
important conditions are arranged, the
HERALD stands the uncompromising
opponent of subsidy to the Santa
Monica or any other railroad.

Details of the Accident AT Che Tunnel.
SAN FERNANDO, June 23rd.-A
terrible accident happened here yes
terday evening which resulted in the
killing of one man, named John Con.
way, and the wounding of another
and some ten Cinnamon. The partic-
ulars are as follows: The headings of
number and tunnels are about 20
feet apart, both working in the same
direction. The foreman of each head
ing have strict orders not to shoot un-
til they notify each other, this is done
so as to avoid any or all accidents.

heading sent an order to Conway, the
deceased foreman of No. heading,
letting him know that he would dis
charge blast at No. 1. AT half past
four o'clock Conway read the order In
presence of the white man who was
wounded; after reading the order they
both took powder and went into head
ing No. 8, and commenced loading a
blast contrary to the orders of the
rules and regulations. AT twenty
minutes past four the foreman of No.
discharged his blast, and whether
Conway was killed from the effects of
No. blast or of his own no one can
tell, as both blasts went off together
The coroner's jury returned verdict
that Conway came to his death by
the explosion of blast by his own
carelessness and negligence.

To Whom the Credit is Due.

In an article on the Chinese ques-
tion, the Express, of Thursday even
Ing, credits Hon. P. A. ROACH with
being the original mover on the Pa
cific coast against Chinese immigra-
tion. This is not correct with regard
to the first appearance of the question
In politics. In 1852, Mr.. ROACH op-
posed bill to legalize Coolie con-
tracts. But it was not until some
years after that parties took sides on
the issue. The Republican party, un-
der the leadership of GEORGE C. Cor
HAM, favored Chinese immigration,
and rallied under the battle cry of
s'The Fatherhood of God and the
Brotherhood of Man." The Demo-
Gratis have always opposed the COM
ing of the Chinese among us, and to
distinguished resident of Los An
geles is due the credit of placing the
party on record on this question. At
the Democratic Convention of 1869,
General JOHN r. MCCONNELL, chair
man of the Committee on Resolutions,
moved that committee be appointed
to draft an address to the people of
the United States on Chinese Immi-
grafton. The motion prevailed and
committee was appointed composed of
General JOHN r. MCCONNELL, Judge
]. III. BUDD, of Stockton, Judge JAMES
II. HARDY, FULLY r. WISE, DANIEL
GELwICKs and JudgelRYLAND, of San
Jose, who adopted the address written
by General MCCONNELL. The ad-
dress was published, and copies of it
are no eoubt still in existence. Gen
eral MCCONNELL also drafted the
plank against Chinese immigration
which was incorporated in the Demo
cratic platform Of the year above
named. These are the facts, and we
give them in order to show that the
Democratic party has always opposed
the coming of the Chinese among US,
and to place the credit for the first
Individual political effort where it
properly belongs.

A San Diego paper of the 22d hs

A San Diego paper of the 22d has
the following:
A report was received here yester-
day from the storekeeper at Algodones
on the Arizona road, that he found
two dead horses attached to wagon
near that place. 1t was surmised that
this team might belong to man and
his wife who have been peddling out
in that country, and who were over.
taken in great distress on the desert
last week by Mr.. Griffith, Road agent
of Kerens & Mitchell. On talking
with Mr.. Griffith that gentleman in
formed us that he thought the man
and woman were all right; that he had
supplied them bountifully with food
and water, and left them at the termi-
nal station of the railroad corps, where
there was abundant store of barley for
their animals. They meant to remain
there day or two. Mr.. G. thinks the
horses are his own. He was obliged
to abandon his team on Wednesday of
last week, and in the intense heat,
with his companion, walked to the
river 80 miles distant. He had been
making an experimental trip 70 the
railroad terminus; but won't soon try
it again. Both Mr.. G. and the man
with him nearly succumbed on that
terrible tramp.

Figuring.

We stated the other day that it was
such an easy thing to figure out the
election of candidate on paper that
any one could do it, and already we
have the evidence that even the editor
of the Republican can accomplish the
feat. In hisissue of Wednesday even-
ing be gives us specimen of his skill
which proves that facts and probabili-
ties, no matter how strong, do not in
terfere with his calculations. He
throws States about with the ease,
something of the grace and not a little
of the illusion, that an Indian juggler
handles the globes, and the result OF
his work is two hundred and twenty
four electoral votes for HAYES. There
