THE Jubilee exercises, which
were opened yesterday afternoon,
and which will close tonight, not
only demonstrated the fact that
Los Angeles possesses large and
enthusiastic Temperance element,
but that there is a degree, range
and excellence of musical culture
in this city which would surprise
an fastener when he should learn
that we claim only sixteen thousand
souls at the most. 1t is the frozen
truth that there is q disproportion-
ately large esthetic and cultured
element in this community. We
know of many cities Of one hun
dred thousand people in the East
that could not, entirely from their
own residents, have furnished
either such orchestral or vocal
music as was yesterday afternoon
directed by the Messrs. Day and
Conterno. The gentlemen who
have pushed this enterprise forward
with such unflagging energy de-
serve all praise. They have
acieved a musical triumph at the
same time that they have helped
along materially the building of a
temple in this city which will be a
credit to our large and respectable
Temperance element.

THE new flour mill fthe Messrs.
Lankershim & Van Nuys is maxi
Ing rapid progress. We are glad
to be able to note, also, that the
damage to the wheat in this county
so far appears to be confined to To-
calities where its growth is yet an
experiment. The reliable wheat
districts will make very credita-
BILE record this year. 1t seems,
however, no longer to admit of a
doubt that, as between q moderate
rainfall in Southern California and
q very heavy one, like that Of the
present year, the former is infin-
itely to bes preferred: Very wet
years breed multitudes of worms
and other insects which are a great
injury and annoyance to the farm
er, while they drown out much of
the bottom lands. The probability
is, judging from the past, that next
year will strike the happy mean in
the rainfall; and that, for from
three to five years following, the
rainfall though moderate will be
ample for crops.

A treason Mono mnn lac

Nothing so delights the heart of
General William Tecumseh Sher-
man as a bullying tone. He is
continually talking about putting
down opposition of some kind, and
the legions of the United States, In
his minds eye, are always ar
rayed against some ideal treason.
II the only use of this man Sher-
man is to threaten and insult DEM
ocrats-for that is what he means
the sooner his Office is abolished
the better. 1t were far better to
have no army at all in the United
States than to have it maintained
to buttress the in,olence Of such q
man as Sherman, who coolly acts
on the assumption that he and his
fellows are the only persons who
have any rlghts. The people Of
the United States are amply COM
petent to manage their own affairs
without any assistance from epau-
leted men, of however high a
grade, in either the army or navy.
General Sherman promptly took
of Decoration Day to
make some petulanJ remarks in his
vein, full of raw-head
and bloody-bones, at time when

WE are told that the Democrats
com mitted frightful blunder In
starting the Potter Investigation.
1t was blunder, of course, but it
was one which will probably re-
suit in giving the Democracy a
two-thirds majority of the next
House of Representatives. We
hope the party will keep on piling
up such blunders.
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1878-06-06

THE Potter Investigation has al
ready proceeded far enough,
through the testimony of James L.
Anderson, Republican Supervisor
in Louisiana, to show that Mr.. John
Sherman, a member of Hayes's
Cabinet, promised honors and
emoluments to Anderson as q con-
sideration for helping to falsify the
vote of the people of that State.
When asked if he had written this
letter, to the authenticity of which
Anderson swears, he shutters and
stammers and says he might have
written it-that there were things
in it that he would have written to
anybody. And such things trans
pire in the United States, in al
most the broad light of day, and
these men not only carry an un-
blushing front but proclaim that it
is downright revolution for any
one to seek to bring their crimes
home to them.

1T is universally conceded that
the ticket for the Constitutional
Convention put up by the Democ.
racy of Los Angeles county Is the
very best that could have been
adopted. 1t would not have been
possible for Convention of either
party, or for joint Convention OF
both or all parties, to have selected
three men whose nomination car
ries with it a greater guarantee of
character, experience and ability
than those of Gen. Volney e. How
ard, Col. VIM. H. Stephens and
Col John f. Godfrey. Even Re-
publicans freely concede this fact.

day received a letter from the
President in regard to your case

fore,
RESOLVED, That the President be
requested to furnish to this conf
mittee all the original letters above
mentioned which he has received,
if any, or certified copies thereof,
with copies Of any such letters sup.
posed to have been written by him,
as he may prefer, in order to secure
the intelligent cross examination
of witness on the subject matter
thereof.
The resolution was adopted.
George G. Gorham, Secretary of
the Senate, was sworn and ques-
toned relative to the papers sub
mltted to the committee. He
stated that they were the only pa
pers relating to the Louisiana
Electoral College of 1876 in his
possession. He knew nothing of
any record of the proceedings of
the Returning Board until yester.
day, when he was informed by
correspondent that such a docu.
ment was in the keeping OF the
Sergeant-at-Arms of the Senate,
and that that gentleman would
give the committee any informa-
ton they desired regarding it.
James E. Anderson was recalled
and further cross-examined by Mr..
Reed. The witness was shown a
document purporting to be the
original agreement signed by HIM
self and Weber, which he yester-
day testified was in possession of
Stanley Matthews. He declared
the document not to be the orig
inal but very fair counterfeit.
Reed smiled, and the witness said:

the investigation is over, aud per-
haps you will smile on the other

WHIPPING A SCHOLAR.

Snow II I had never been whipped when
I was = school boy, I might decide this
case, but now"- and the Squire's voice
stopped suddenly. Esquire VIM. Fl Brady
says the above a. be sits In bis office, and
wildly muses. his hair, and all the while
turns the pages of musty law book. The
case is one, the like Of which the Esquire
has never been called upon to decide. It is
that Of Ferdinand Miller and Mr.. Miller
and little Miller, who brought charge
against Miss Elizabeth D. Frazer, the lady
principal Of No. Q school for chaatising the
sfcresaid progeny of Ferdinand Miller with
undue severity.
1t appears that the boy in question was
incorrigable, and gave the teacher much
trouble The attention Of the parents was
called to It and information given to the
effect that the committee would be called
upon to expel bin. Word was returned to
the teacher by the parents that they desired
the boy to 60 to school rather than run on
the street, and that they would not object
II the teacher chastised him. On Thurs
doy the teacher imposed on the boy ~
extra task for some mtsdemeanor. and
upon receiving his refusal to comply, the
principal, Miss Frazer, give him . chastise'
ment. During the struggle slight abrason
was made in the skin Of the boys forehead
and also on his ear. This ipcensed Mrs
Miller 90 greatly that nothing would satisfy
her short of lawsuit, and 90 It wa
brought as above said.
After much perplexity, as has already
been stated, the Esquire found clause bear
ing upon the subject, which said that I
was no offence for teacher to use corporea
punishment on q scholar In reasonable
way. He then gave his opinion that the
boy had not received undue punishment ant
dismissed the case. .-.e .rf

HOW THE CHURCH LOOKS.

The architecture OF the building Is beauti-
full and symmetrical and situated, as it 10,
on high elevation, 1t stands out In bold
relief. The building is constructed of
Brandywine blue granite, and the masonry
work was done by Mr.. John Macklem. 1t
is nearly square on the ground, the church
proper is on the ives, and the Sunday school
room and class rooms on the east. with
tower 16 feet square, in the southeast corner.
This tower is sixty. two feet high, and when
YOU stand on it's top and look away across
the county you have q view that 10 mig.
uihcent aud far-resching. Over the main
entrance to the church is triangular block
of brown stone bearing this Inscription
"To the Memory of
'.sg JAMES RIDDLE. :aaaS
HE being dead e sp.aketh.'
MDCCCLXX'II."
The Ceiling OF tho church Ia twelve feet
hiyh on the clear and forty-two feet to the
Ditch, l, is composed OF Virginia pine, snd
$ highly polished and flushed. The light
comes I'M O the church T. rough windows OF
stained glass. Two of these windows are
elegalt design and large size. Near he
top of the window in front, is Latin in
,criptIou which reads one way, "The father
is not the son, the son is not the spirit, and
che spirit 10 not the Father" and The other
vay, .The Father is God, the Son is God
| md the Spirit 10 God" The seats, arranged
in a semi. circular, and will easily seat 400
oersons. Along the aisles and around tn
,eats the floor will be carpet with three
ply Ingram carpet of neat pattern.
The church, all in all, inside and out, IL
probably the handsomest in the State. The
best material has been used, the beauty of
the structure is pleasing, and the whole
thing in the way of dimensions is harmony
rself The whole cost will be triie less
than $40, 900 Much toward the successful
termiuation of the work is due the pastor,

should be given him for his indefatigable
