Diego = Capt. Sherman - writes
that the Texas-Pacific bill is GER
tain to pass the Senate and that its
friends think it will pass the
House. This is, of course, only
Capt. Sherman's individual opin-
ion. The important part of his
com both to those who
hope the bill will pass and those
Who think 1t will fail, is the state
ment that action will be had upon
it as soon as Col. Scott goes on to
Washington from Philadelphia, an
event which will not be likely to
be long delayed. We shall then
know just what we are to expect In
transcontinental railway matters.
A great deal has been said about
the credit due in The More case in
columns of the daily papers. In
justice to those who really are en-
titled to the credit in the case, and
for the purpose of carrying out the
ends of justice, we refrain from
making any further comments
upon the matter until the case is
fully concluded. The arrests of all
the guilty parties were made by
the sheriff of Ventura and his staff,
but the details of the detective
work will be made known upon
the conclusion of the case.
Under the Goodwin bill, which
has been approved by the Gov
ernor, 50 States Prison birds will
shortly be set free. Among the
number we find the names of the
following Angeleiios: Manuel, an
Indian, 10 years, manslaughter;
Anton Acker, years, burg iary |;
Jose del Lugo, 5 years, man
slaughter; Dolores Ruiz, 5 years,
grand larceny; Marcus LAWN, 5
years, grand larceny; Ygnie La
gour, years, rape; j. t. Lam bert,
years, manslaughter.
Between eleven and twelve
o'clock last night Confidence En-
CINE Company No. were notified
that q frame house on Twelfth
street, near Olive, was on fire. On
proceeding to the ground they
found that, owing to lack of water,
they could be of no service and re-
turned to their engine house. Our
informant was unable to give us
any particulars in regard to the
property destroyed.
Col. Scott, of the Governors
staff, paid second visit to the Los
Angeles Guards last evening and
put the company through; a lively
drill for about an hour on Los An
geles street. He expresses the
high est satisfaction with the NAH
nar in which the boys acquitted
themselves, and says he will use
every effort to have the company
properly equipped.
Mr.. d. Halady, who has been
paying quite an extended visit to
his brother-in-law, Councilman
Green, left yesterday for his home
at Batavia, Illinois. Mr.. Halady,
during his stay here, bought farm
in the Gospel Swamp region and,
as soon as he can settle up his bust
ness East, will probably return and
commence the manufacture of his
famous wind-mills in this city.
Considerable stock will be
brought into Los Angeles from
Lower California this season. A
band of five hundred head of
horned cattle will arrive in q few
days. 1t is fact not generally
known, but there is quite scarcity
of beef cattle all over the State this
year which will put money in the
pockets of the Lower California
rancheros.
The finest picnic grounds, base
ball, swings, horizontal bars, in
Southern California are at Agri-
cultural Park.
T'te Ap.srsntment Ofthe New Supcr-
visor.
The Anaheim Gazette says: We
are credib!y informed that Judge
Stephens did appoint Mr.. J. ID.
OFT, upon the receipt of regular
notice from A. w. Potts, eX.oificio
Clerk of the Board of Supervisors.
With regard to the appointment
the people have nothing to say or
complain of. The manner in which
it was made carries with it the
SAVIOR at least of indecent
haste. The people of the
whole district-those on this
side of the river as well as on
the other-were the electors of Mr..
Spurgeon as Supervisor, and are
certainly as much interested in the
appointment of his successor as
they were in his election, and
while it is, without doubt, the
strict letter of the law for the Coun-
ty Judge to make the appointment
to fill vacancy in the Board, il is
also usage as well as courtesy to
give the residents in the district an
opportunity to express their prefer
ences.
Judge Stephens is exonerated
from any real blame in the matter
by reason Of the fact that he was,
at the time the notification was
brought to him, sick at home, and
thinking that the appointment of
Mr.. OFT would he acceptable to the
district at large, he made the APP
pointment directly in order to save
himself the annoyance of petitions
and petitioners.
