confidence he enjoyedto a high
degree" Capt. Rhodes Fisher

was no understanding whatever

andin making the assertion N.

uncalled for in the premises.

PARTY ORGANIZATION.

Tarrant county is Democrat
ic, yet the Fort Worth Stand
ard, in a well written editorial,
calls upon the party to effect
thorough organization. In this
county, at the last general cleo.
ton, the Republicans were in
the majority, 1t is thought
that the Democracy have gain
ed considerable strength since
then; but, in order that the full
strength of the party may be
ascertained, a thorough and eff
fective organization should be
undertaken. The late county
convention effected a county
organization, by the election of
an executive committee, con-
sisting of a chairman and one
member for each Justices pre-
einct in the county. The mem
bers ofthe executive committee
are authorized to. call meetings
and have the general manage
ment of the canvass in the coun-
ty. 1t is to be hoped that the
preliminary organization of the
party in the county having
been satisfactorily effected. no
time will be lost in bringing
about a general organization
and enrolment of every man
who will vote with us in the
fall.
Washington county, although
noted for the intelligence, wealth
and thrift of her population, has
for many years rested under
the stigma ofhaving Senegam-
bian majority. During the last
two years we have had many
accessions to the white popuIa-
ton by the arrival of emigrants
il, various parts of the county.
We are informed by a well post
ed gentleman, who resides in the
Washington precinct, that not
less than two hundred white
voters have been added during
the last two years. Tha: pre-
cinct was formerly as dark as
Erebus, but the advent of these
white voters will shed a ray, of
light on the precinct that will
absolutely astonish the manag-
ers of the Senegambian ring.
The same change. has been go-
ing on in the Chappell Hill pre-
cinct. A great many Of the
most intelligent of the colored
race are gradually discovering
that their Write Republican
friends are friends only 50 long
ashley desire their votes.
Again, the majority of the white
Republicans in this county are !,
office-seekers and ofice-hold-
ers. An inquiry into their
status will reveal the fact that
they are Republicans for office, /.
not for principle; principle be-
ing the one thing in which they
are sadly deficient. This fact
is slowly but surely drawing
upon the comprehension of the
intelligent colored men. If we
can effect a thorough enroll
ment of every one who will af-
hliate with the Democracy, it
will go far towards helping US
through the campaign for coun-
ty officers in the fall. The pres
ent outlook is very favorable, |
and there apparently. exists no
cogent reason why a full coun-
ty ticket should not be elected |
by handsome majority.

A Good Suggestion.

EDITOR HERALD: Last Fridays
train brought to this city party
ofas jovlal and happy excursionists
as ever travelled by rail. Mendel
Meyer was of the party. He and
his jolly companion, with their
medley of music, vocal and instru.
mental, made us laugh till our
sides ached.
Upon our arrival, thanks to the
courtesy of Mr.. Culver, Secretary,
we were presented with a compli-
mentary season ticket to the
Mechanics Institute Fair. It
would occupy all your space to give
even brief description of the arti-
cles on exhibition, and I must re-
fer you to the city papers for that.
What want to call the attention
of our people to is this: We did not
find on exhibition a single article
from Southern California. This is
unfortunate; indeed, it is unpar,ion-
able. Our people have lost most
favorable opportunity Of bringing
into prominent notice our beauti-
full section and its truly wonderful
resources.
Mr.. Culver reserved the very best
place in Horticultural Hall for Mr..
Carey, and is much disappointed
that he has not put in an appear
ance with some specimens of or.
ange, lemon and lime trees, and
other productions of Semi-Tropical
California. Such an exhibit would
have been a grand advertisement
for our county, about which SO
many here are eagerly seeking for
Information. Mr.. Culver says the
fair will continue about three
weeks longer, and suggests that
our people Immediately put in
charge of Mr.. Carey such articles
as they desire to exhibit and send
him up with them as soon as pos
sible. The suggestion is worthy of
consideration, and the producers of
Los Angeles and adjacent countie !,
ought to promptly act upon it.

Water for Street Sprinkling.

Judge Sepulveda, in Chambers,
issued the following further order
this morning on the subject of the
supply of water to sprinkle the
streets:
Los Angeles City Water Co., VS..
Los Angeles City.-With view of
reconciling the interests represent
ed by plaintiffs and defendants,
it is ordered that the restraining or
ders of Aug. Oath and 9th, 1878 be
and the same are hereby modified
as follows, and until the further or
der of Court: The defendants'are
permitted to use the water in dis
pute for the purposes of sprinkling
the streets, between the hours of 8
O'Clock A. NJ. and 8 A. NJ, and be-
tween 8 A. NJ. and II A. NJ, and be-
tween 2 P. NJ. and 4 +. NJ, of each
and every day. The use of the wa
ter for sprinkling is limited so
that sprinkling be had only be-
tween Sixth and Marchessault
(above the Plaza both inclusive,
where usually between those
streets sprinkling has been used.
This order will probably be final,
as there is now disposition, we
believe, on the part of the Water
Company to allow free water for
street sprinkling purposes. The
time set in the above order at
which the water shall be taken by
the carts was selected on the rep.
resentation that during the pro-
hibited intervals there is a greater
consumption of water for domestic
purposes than at any other time
during the day, and If the carts
were also drawing from the supply
at those times, the force would moi
be sufficient to reach the uppel
stories OF the houses in the city
BY the distribution Of time in thf
order the streets can be kept wei
sprinkled during the entire day.

Harmon VS.. PaIomares.

EDITOR HERALD: Under the
above caption a correspondent
signing himself "Justice' makes
some wild statements relative to
the Pomona meeting of citizens
calling on Mr.. Palomares to be q
candidate for Supervisor. First, he
says the Chairman of the meeting
Is staunch Radical. Mr.. ]. B.
Parker, who was Chairman of the
meeting, is lifelong Democrat,
and ia one of the Justices of the
Peace of San Jose Township. Mr.
L. D. Connor, one of the former
Justices of the same township, is
an unconditional Democrat and
was one Of the citizens who urged
the calling out of Mr.. Palomares.
Messrs. William O'Connor, John 8.
Reed, Thomas II. limerick and
Joseph A. Berry are all we'll known
as staunch working Democrats,
and they were present and urged
the nomination of Don Pancho.
True, there were Republicans pres
ent who spoke warmly in favor of
Mr.. Palomares, and who will vote
for him as against any man in the
district for Supervisor. Now, by
what right does Mr.. Harmon claim
to be the regular candidate of the
Democratic party? Mr.. Palomares
has done more for that party and
can do more in the future than Mr..
Harmon has done or ever can do;
and, whoever "Justice" is, he will
not be able to read Palomares out
of a party to which he has been
attached since he cast his first
vote.
Mr.. Editor, this is hastily writ
ten, and the writer is unwilling to
mention the names of Democrats
who will support Mr.. Palomares as
the fittest candidate for the office
to which he aspires, but in a few
days your office will be supplied
with the names of Democrats from
every voting precinct in the dis.
trict who have announced them
selves as utterly opposed to the re-
election OF Mr.. Hannon and who
will, If urged to 1t, give such rea.
sons as will convince the voters ol
the Third District that Mr.. Han
non is not a fit person for the Office
to which he aspires.
