Sultan has not approved Of the conditions
OF peace resolved on by the Council Of
Ministers, and has ordered that the ques-

THE Boston Times, a journal formerly
for Tilden, has come out for Hayes. II
says that behind Tilden is the sullen, I'M.
regenerated element Of the South, the
ignorant masses OF the North, and The
bulk Of the reputation and imitation ele
ment Of the West. With such party
behind him, thinks the Times, he could
not hope to, fulfill the promises he has
made. He promises hard money, but
cannot hope to be. elected without the
aid OF the soit.money men. Pledging
himself 10 ciEil service reform, he still
holds out promises to the thousands q
hungry. ofticc-seeke eager to apply the
Jacksonian doctrine that to the victort
belong the spoils, and that the spoila
are all they can steal. The Times closes

BROOKLYN, N. Y, Feb. 2lst.-The
following letter was sent to the Advi-
sorry Council to-day 80 Willow
Street, Brooklyn, N. Y, February
21st, 1876, to Rev. Leonard Bacon, ID.
D., Moderator:-There were some
statements made to the council on
Friday, as reported to the papers, were
so incorrect that / am compelled to
contradict them. First, Mr.. Beecher
is reported as saying that Mr.. Bowen
is man of courage but has not cour-
age enough to look me in the face. 1t
is false that / have never dared to
meet him in this way, as the follow
Ing facts will show: On May 25th,
1873, Mr.. Beecher had learned that it
was reported as coming from Mr.. Car
penter, that had reasserted to him
charges made against Mr.. Beecher.
Charges of moral impurity. Mr..
Beccher wrote Mr.. Moulton q letter
which was published that he had sent
Mr.. Cleveland, the latter of the Inves-
tigating Committee, with his, Beech
er's horse and buggy, to hunt Carpen-
ter and warn him to be careful about
repeating such statement. Mr..
Cleveland brought Mr.. Carpenter to
Mr.. Moulton's house, and Mr.. Moul-
ton took him and Mr.. Claflin to my
house. The matter was talked over
and the result thus given by Mr.. Car
penter as published July 29th, 1874:
Mr.. Clafiin said, 'I think we had
better have Mr.. Beeeher here tonight.
l. Carpenter said he would be glad
to have Mr.. Beecher present.

We understand that Mr.. G. w. John
ston, who has been so long and favora-
bly, known to the patrons of the Back
man and Grand Central, has resigned
his position as clerk, to take effect on
and after March lst. We, for one, will
sadly miss the genial face of him who
so often and pleasantly has greeted us
from behind the desk of the Grand
Central, and we opine that Fisher will
be loser in thisX lease, for we have seen
the endorsement that he has given to
our friend Johnston which, in itself,
speaks volumes for his business integ-
rity and faithfulness to duty. Mr..
Johnston has been in bad health and
came to our city to spend the winter.
He now finds himself greatly improv-
ed and to add strength and vigor to
his constitution, will seek for the fu-
ture more active life. We cheerfully
recommend him wherever he may
cast his lot, and trust that his well
known business qualifications will Sc
cure for him more lucrative position
than he has recently been supplying.
Detective Harris has worked up the
case of the steamer robbery, and has
satisfied himself that the two men
who were suspected are innocent. He
has a theory respecting the matter
which we believe to be the correct one,
but as at present it is impossible to
prove anything, it is useless to make
1t known.

The issue of the Santa Barbara Press
for the 18th inst. contains the valedic-
tory of Mr.. j. A. JOHNSON, who seven
years ago founded the paper, and from
the beginning has been its owner, edi-
tor and manager Surroundings, cir
cumstances and means considered, no
man has done more for locality than
Mr.. JOHNSON for Santa Barbara.
When he selected that beautiful wat
ering place as his home and the field
of his future labors, it was compara-
lively unknown. Its population was
light and few knew OF its romantic
site, salubrious climate and sanitary
advantages. BY untiring industry
and great pecuniary sacrifice he sue
ceeded in making Santa Barbara u
household word, not only throughout
the Pacific coast, but in the Eastern
States. Mr.. JOHNSON is man of en-
larged views. He believes that what
is good for Santa Barbara is good for
all Southern California, and to this
end he, last Summer, at heavy eX-
pense, secured Photographic views of
towns, buildings, farms, vineyards,
and other noted and beautiful places
in the Southern counties, and with
them went on lecturing tour through
the Eastern States. His object was to
lay Southern California as a piano.

heard of our beautiful country and de-
sired to know more of it. How we'll
he succeeded the hundreds whom his
| pictures and lectures induced to come
here will testify. In laying down the
editorial pen Mr.. JOHNSON does not
intend retiring to private life. He
does not propose to relinquish the
| great work he has undertaken of pan
oramiZing Southern California for the
information of the people of the East,
and in fnrtherance OF his un-
dertaking he is now prepar-
ing to spend several months
as the preventative of this part of
the coast at the great Centennial. In
a few weeks he will leave for Philadel-
phia where he will establish depart
ment for the diffusion of information
of practical and reliable character,
relative to the garden spot of the
West. With his Photographic views
and his vast fund of facts, he will do
much in the way of inducing thous-
ands of men and women to seek
homes in the rich valleys of Southern
California. We wish our late COLA
borer in the editorial field every sue
cess. He deserves, and we doubt not,
will receive the substantial support of
the leading andswealthy members of
our community. His success is our
permanent gain.

A HEALTH Department.
What the Doctors Say About it-Com-
municatiOn 30 the Common Council
from the Medical Association, Pre-.
scented Last Thursday.

To the Honorable the Mayor and
Common Council of the City of Los
Angeles:-The clos Angeles Medical
Association would beg leave to call
your attention to the Importance of a
well organized and efficient Health
Department for the city, such as is es-
tablished in other cities of like size
and population. The need of such
sanitary supervision in the city of Los
Angeles is especially great, for the
following reasons, viz: The mixed
character of the population, with its
attendant disregard of any systematic
manner of life; the irregular and mar
row streets OF q portion of the city;
the crowded adobe houses of the Chi
nese quarter, and, indeed, of some
other localities; the constant and evil
dent accumula tion of filth, from de-
fective aud insufficient sewerage for a
rapidly increasing population; and, in
addition to all theses climate so mild
that the temperature of mid-Winter is
not low enough to even temporarily
hold in check the i'll effects of the bad
sanitary condition of the city. Fur
thermore, the city in the course of it's
improvements is now in that transit
ton stage when the grading of streets
has destroyed the natural drainage of
the surface, and, as yet, artificial
drainage by means of sewers has not
taken its place. This leads to the for
nation of many bodies of stagnant
water, exceedingly detrimental to the
should be some general sanitary su-
pervision over all these fruitful sources
of disease.
And again: The city is now enter
ing upon series of extensive and
| costly enterprises to dispose of its sew
age matter. In the carrying out of
these Improvements many points will
necessarily arise where the experience
and special knowledge of medical men
will not only render these works more
efficient, but may also lead to the
more economical use of the large sums
which must be expended.
The "Medical Association, make
this communication not simply off
cially, as society, but also individu-
ally as citizens to whom, because of
their professional training, the subject
appeals with especial force; and be-
cause they, in their daily rounds upon
the streets and in the dwellings of the
people, note many sources of disease
which, under an efficient sanitary SUI
pervision, should not be allowed to
exist. Submitted by vote of the Med
ical Association.

doubt if it was the intention of its au-
thors that its provisions should be dis
cussed aud understood by the people.
We have, however, conversed with q
gentleman who has read the bill, and
from him we CLEAN the following as
some of its features: 1t retains the
present Superintendent of Irrigation;
authorizes him to draw five thousand
dollars without defining how it shall
be expended; it provides for survey
ing and mapping the county; it names
five Commissioners who are to be paid
five dollars per day and the same mile
age paid to Supervisors; it calls for n
Water Commissioner, n Treasurer, Il
Tax Collector, a Tax Assessor and a
Secretary. The Board of Commission
ers are to meet four times year un-
less oftener called together by the Su-
perintendent. The bill also author
ICES the issuance of bonds to run twen-
ty years at a rate of interest that will
aggregate an immense sum, and it
does not give the people an opportuni-
ty to vote on single provision. This
bill should not become law. If it
passes it will burden the people with
an enormous debt and give them but
little water. Therefore, we hope our
delegation in the Legislature will not
advocate the passage of the bill. So
far as we have been able to obtain an
expression from the farmers they are
almost to man opposed to it.

Railroad Development.

The impression prevails with quite
number of our. Senators and Assem-
blymen that the people require at
their hands some action which will
affect the existing rates Of freights
and fares on our railroads. The in
telligent Legislator fully understands
the difficult nature of the subject, and
recognizes the almost utter impossi-
bility of touching without disorganiz-
ing it. The problem is rendered still
more difficult of solution by the varied
and conflicting interests of locality
and the consequent different views of
those upon whom depends the work of
making picture present the same as
pect from twenty or more different
points of observation. For instance,
the development and prosperity of
Southern California depends to a great
extent on the rapid extension of her
railroads now in course of construc-
tion. Los Angeles, which is the Gen.
ter of the system Of railroads now de-
veloping the Southern end of the
State is indebted to the locomotive for
fully one-half the taxable wealth that
now appears on her assessment roll,
| and this and San BernardinO county
are moving rapidly forward under the
| impulse of steam and rail. Railroads
are making this part of the State, and
any Legislative enactment or code
that will in the least tend toward
checking railroad building among us
will be opposed by the entire commu-
nifty. Under the assurance that Los
Angeles valley will in few months
be connected with San Francisco,
New York and the rest of the world
by rail, property in this city and
county is steadily advancing. Let the
Legislature pass an act which will so
affect railroads as to compel cessa-
tion of work on all railroads now in
course of construction in this part of
the State, and we shall witness de-
cline of at least thirty-tbree per cent.
in real estate in this city and county.
