Los Angeles Abroad.

A friend at San Luis Rey sends us
a copy of the .jOWaal published at
CarroltOn, Carol county Missouri,
which contains an extract from Il let
ter written from this city, which is
rather rich. 1t is evident to what
part of society the writer belongs, and
the veracity of his statements may be
judged accordingly. The Journal ill.,
PRODUCES the extract with these words:
awe are permitted to make the
following extract from letter
from a young man, formerly a
citizen of Carrolton, but now residing
in Los Angeles, CAL, from which it
will be seen that the state of society
in that Paradise of the Pacific Slope
is up to the most ultra ideas of the
most violent wOman's rightser, and
our advice to the ambitious fair ones
of Carrollton is, eco West, young
women-go West, and practice on a
clOthes-line and mustang" Now the
young mans letter:
This is the most delightful country you
ever saw-the society is SO good. 1t consists
OF Spaniards, Greasers, John Chinamen,
Pikers, Yankees, Dutch, Irish and Indians.
The young ladies here are not like they are in
Carol. 1t is true they take an interest III
playing cards, croquet, or any game belong
ing to IA civilized nation; but their principal
amusements are breaking wild horses, jump
ing, smoking cigarettes, turning hand-springs
and summersa.ts and kicking at the clo hes
line in the back yard-in short anything 10
improve their physical condition. A married
lady don't have to use the broom-stick or
mush-ladle to control her husband in times
of domestic disturbance-all she has to say
is, "you git" and he ''gits," nor stands upon
the order of his '.gittln'." The young men
we'll, they are "a pretty set. ! wish you could
see IS beau. He looks like-well, let me
see--like Digger Indian. He wears 50-cent
hat, and never puts on cOllar-he says they
cost too much. His pants were cut in high
water, his coat was made from his ogreat
grandfathers hunting shirt, he is prepared at
any time TO whip an entire brigade OF Grea-
sers or Chinamen, while he is always ready
to bet his last nickle and go his mustang
blind that he can squirt gill of tobat co juice
through any keyh ole in the house at ten feet
distance. He's q lovely bud, and represents
the average young man in this part OF the
Golden state"

THE proposition Of the Chamber of
Commerce to take the census of the
city is generally approved. On the
plan proposed of dividing the city up
into small districts and detailing a
man to each district, will secure the
accomplishment of the work inside of
two days. BY SO doing the work will
be thoroughly and satisfactorily done.
The actual population of the city is
probably not less than 10000, and it
will be worth the trouble and expense
it will cost to determine the tact.

A Cruel Neglect.

One of the acts of injustice charge
able to our Government, which time
will not gloss over nor any amount of
explanation palliate, was the refusal
to send vessels for the Union soldiers
held prisoners in the South. Months
elapsed between the notification by
the Confederate authorities that these
prisoners would be surrendered with
out exchange or consideration, ,anG the
sending of vessels to convey them to
their homes. During those months
thousands of Union prisoners died,
who, had the Confederate request been
Immediately acted upon, would now
be living, healthy men. The Confed-
crates themselves were starving. They
were destitute of food or medicine, and
being without the means to feed or
clothe their prisoners they offered to
release them if the Government would
send means of transportation. For a
long time no attention was paid to
the request, and the neglect to send
for these unfortunate soldiers caused
many Northern homes to mourn the
loss of husband, brother or father
1t was an act of cruelty OH the part of
our Government for which no justifi-
able or satisfactory excuse can be of
fered. 1t is remembered in bitterness
and sorrow by thousands of mothers,
wives and daughters in the North.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1876-01-27

We remember q number of instances
in which bodies that intended to COM
nit some great wrong commenced by
announcing their contempt for news
papers and disregard for their opin.
ions and criticisms. The managers of
the Credit Mobilier were notoriously
conspicuous in their announcements
to this effect BEN BUTLER, knowing
that no honest newspaper could de-
fend him, denounced all newspapers.
The d--n, the Constitution faction of
the Republican party defied all news
papers. This contempt of the Califor-
mia Legislature adds nothing to the
reputation OF that body for intelli-
gence and raises doubt as to its hon.
esty ofpurpose. This feeling is not,
of course shared by all members of the
Senate and Assembly. There are, we
know, many honorable exceptions in
both Houses, but it is, perhaps, shared
by majority of the members, and
the fact that it is will shake the conf
dence of the people in the ability and
honesty of their Legislators.

EDITOR HERALD: When the editor
of the Express offers such conundrums
as the following, which l clip from an
editorial of Tuesday, think it would
be no more than justice to his readers
to send with each issue of the paper
an explanatory diagram. BY so doing
he might render less frequent the ex-
clamat.on: eyes, that's very nice, but
what is it all abOut?u
The wonderful benignancy of our climate,
supplemented by the astonishing fecundily
Of our soil affords "a theme OF endless resource
To the facile writer.
And when our advantages in this respect
are skillfully contrasted with the conditions
existing In the Eastern States and Europe,
the influence ex+rted upon all who seriously
consult such mpilations is to create a desire
TO participate with us in the benefits of our
favored locality.

What Has Become OF II?

The question of what has become of
the apparent 100000 deficiency in
TEMPLE Il WoRKMAN's bank is at
tracting no inconsiderable amount of
attention. The semi-official state
ment Of the Express clearly indicates
that this sum ought to be accounted
for in the report Of the assignees.
What has become of it? Surely it is
charged to some account-mines, stock
speculations, CerrO Gordo water works
or some other undertaking which has
turned out unfortunate. The checks,
If nothing else, will throw some light
as TO the flight this money has taken.
II the books have not been written up
for a year or more the neglect was
part of plan for the attainment of
purpose. The sole management of the
banks affairs was entrusted to one
who understands banking business
and is as capable as any man in the
State for the position he held as CASH
ier. This being admitted it is fair to
presume that every night before per-
mitting his clerks, book keeper and
assistants to leave the bank he would
have complete balance made out and
every mans account posted. If there
was failure to do this it cannot be
excused on the plea of ignorance If
the proper method CT conducting
banking business. The fiorid picture
of the Express regarding the assets
and values is as unfortunate as its con-
tinued exaggeration of the wealth of
Messrs. TEMPLE and WORKMAN. This
exaggeration, and the continued mis-
statement of the financial condition of
these gentlemen, have deceived-cru-
ELY deceived-the people. The paper
may or may not be Intentionally
guilty of this wrong, but the damag-
ing effect is the same in either case.
Now, its statements are just as inju-
rious as its valuations, and if needed
will only result in loss to those who
have their means in whole or in part
tied up by the assignees. The liabili-
: ties, according to the offered state
ment, are about $l,lO0,OOO, while the
assets that may be collected and real
lied will turn out to be very near as
follows:

Doubts the Figures.

In the Anaheim Gazette, J. NJ.
QUINN demolishes a large sized cas-

The Los Angeles Express in a recent num-
ber proves very convincingy Ito itself that
the cost of erecting a new Court House and
Jail will not increase the debt of the county
more than $4,000. Says the mathematical
man of the Express: The present Court
House and jail, with the lots on which they
stand, would sell for 1900; apply the pro-
ceeds from the sale Of these towards liquidat-
ing the new Court Hose bonds, and four-fiflhs
of the Indebtedness incurred is Cancelled. Tn
fortunately this architect of the Express is
better at building air castles than brick and

got all about a site for the new buildings.

drawing off distilled spirits from the
original packages without obliterat-
ing stamps. Ann Murphy, same. M.

Oliver Edwards, dealing in leaf
tobacco without special license. J. +.
Hoyt, Deputy Collector, also subject
of indictment and was arrested during
the afternoon and held in fifteen thou
sand dollars for one court of indict-
ment and ten thousand for another.
The general charge against him is the
irregularities in the office of collector
while he was defacto collector during
the long sickness of Collector Irwin,
and he declares it an outrage upon
him to make his bail so high, and
states he should do again exactly what
he has done. No warrant has been
issued for the arrest of Rehm, it being
desirable to first arrest those indicted
with Kim. The bail of Hesing and
Rehm is fixed at $4,000. Mr.. Hesing
said he would give bail this evening
or tomorrow morning.
