WITH the completion of the

probably ends for the present one
of the most memorable building
eras ever noted in Los Angeles.
Many of the business houses erect.
ed during this period would do
honor to New York or Boston.
They have been built during a pc
riad Of unusual business depression,
thus demonstrating the unyielding
faith of our business men in the
future of this city. Amongst
these buildings our memory at the
moment supplies us with the names
of the Cardona, Mcdonald, Odd
Fellows, Strelitz, Baker, Hellman
and Pelanconi blocks. 1t is hard
ly too much to say that the cost of
these improvements, In this period
characterized by a succession of
calamities, which would have
crushed out any other city on the
coast, will aggregate in value those
OF twice as many years of our pre-
vious history.

EMIGRANTS.
HERE ON ACCOUNT OF BAD TREAT
MENT IN THAT COUNTRY.

The schooner Paul Leary arrived here from
Laguayra. Venezuela. with 1862 emigrants all
natives of Eastern Prussia and Prussian Po-
land who, disguised with their stay in Vene-
zuea, resolved to leave the country and embark
for New Orleans. A representative of the
DEMOCRAT took some time yesterday to know
how these emigrants had found out their way
to South America, and why they had left that
country. The facts of the case are as follows:
Little less than two years ago agents of the
Venezuelan government were trying to induce
Prussians to emigrate to Venezuela: but the
German authorities were opposed to this
course. and forbid the people to leave. At
and fair promises, those agents inveigled some
400 Prussians to Rotterdam, and thence the

THE GERMAN IMMIGRANTS.

To the Mayor of the City OF New Orleans. La
Honorable Sri beg to bring to your notice
the arrival of a party of German immigrants
from Venezuela. who, think will prove a ben
eft to your State, as they intend to settle perma-
nently OF government lands in Louisiana.
They are @ Woodworking and Industrious set
and accustomed to agriculture. that being their
pursuit in their own country. They have been
in this country some fourteen months. and
owing 10 the unhealthy climate TOO persons out
of 500 dying within year, they were obliged to
leave,
They we're brought here at the expense Of the
Venezuelan government, said government
agreeing to pay $50 per head for the passage.
which amount never has been paid, and be-
lieve never will be paid. This government is
ever ready to promise and as they do not know
OF the existence of such q thing as national dis
grace or dishonor, never fulfill their promises
Besides the government has neither the physi-
Cal nor moral power to guarantee protection of
any kind; they say they are not responsible for
the actions OF their officials.
In view OF the facts stated. and in considera-
ton of the benefits which your State may de-
rive from these immigrants. 1 hope you will look
after them as far as consistent with your high
office. / am. sir. very respectfully. your obedi-
