WE have received note from
Mr.. ]. M. Brooks, of San Buena-
ventura, calling our attention to the
following paragraph in the tele-
graphic report of the More murder
investigation publishedb by us: "The
most singular thing is that J. M.
Brooks, who appears as leading
counsel for the prisoners, never
had q $500 case in his life" etc.
We of course had no intention of
misrepresenting the standing of
Mr.. Brooks; and, had we noticed
the paragraph while hurriedly pre-
pairing our dispatches, would I'M
doubtedly have stricken it out.
Mr.. Brooks at one time filled the
responsible position of District At
torney for Ventura County, is at
present a member of the well
known and respectable law firm OF
Hines & Brooks; and, from all we
can learn, is most estimable gen.
tleman. We can but regret that
our columns were used for the graf
ification of personal malice.

idea of the dullness in real estate
circles here may be obtained from
the fact that, at the assignees' sale
of property of the defuBct Pioneer
Bank to-day, by Middleton & Co.,
auctioneers, not single bid was
obtained and only about a dozen
persons were present. The property
comprised the building on Califor-
mia street formerly occupied by the
big Board of Brokers, with piece
of vacant ground in the rear of the
Franklin building, nearly opposite,
and the building at the southwest
corner of Montgomery and Clay
streets-all desirable pieces of
property. Mr.. Hyde, assignee in
bankruptcy, states that no further
attempt will be made to dispose of
the property at public sale, but it
will be held for the rentssand got
off at private sale as opportunity
offers.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 15.-The

to-day. The mint here has not done
anything in silver for some time,
the coinage of trade dollars having
ceased under orders from Washing
ton to discontinue that coinage I'M
til further orders. A large uuan-
tity of trade dollars are now in the
market and million of them are
in the mint vaults. The coinage of
the new silver dollar will begin to-
morrow. There is silver enough |
on hand to run this coinage about |
three weeks or to produce $1,000:
900 at 500, 900 per diem, which will |
be the approximate rate of coinage. |
Those wishing new dollars must
deposit an amount of gold coin
equal to the number desired. The
deposit must be made with the
cashier of the mint when, as soon
ls coined. the dollars will be de-
ivered.

Crisis.


Crisis.
LONDON, April ia Times st.
Petersburg correspondent tele-
graphing Sunday does not give
such hopeful report of the state of
feeling in Russia. He says the eff
forts'of Germany may perhaps lead
to preliminary conference as the
British government is now believ-
ed to be more favorable to such O
proposal. The warlike excitement
is especially intense in Moscow. 1t
is said that Russia is looking for O
loan in America. It is understood
that negotiations have also been
opened in Germany and Holland.
The new loan will amount to fifty
millions of roubles independently
of fifty millions in treasury bonds
to be issued at once. A Paris cor
respondent says the assertion that
Count Zichey is negotiating for the
occupation of Bosnia and Herzego-
vina is contradicted on good au-
thority. A special from Servia re-
ports 10000 Koumanian troops con-
centrated there and Prince Charles
is expected to arrive. The feeling
of the troops against Russia is very
bitter.
A Times Belgrade Special says
that Russia is endeavoring to gain
Servia's alliance in fresh war.
The Prince favors an alliance but
his Cabinet oppose 1t. War prepa-
rations continue unremittingly. A
Ministerial crisis is probable. The
Daily Telegraph's Berlin despatch
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1878-04-16

the following preamble and resolu-
tion were adopted:

WE find sentiment in an Ar
kansas paper so exactly apropos OF
immigration to Los Angeles
county that we cordially adopt it.
Were we answering one of our nu.
merous inquiring correspondents
we could not start out better than
by saying, in the language of OH
Arkansas contemporary:
1t is ourduty TO say at the outset
that Arkansas is not large aims.
house where people are fed and
clothed gratuitously, nor do we
wish to convey the idea that live
lihood can be secured without an
effort. Any who indulge in such
illusions had better remain where
they are. What is wanted is mus
Gle, capital, Industry, brains, AND
common honesty.

In either case the new Constitution
would be voted down by the peo-
pie, and what may be called the
fanatical era of our California poll
tics would be over, let us hope for
ever. This is certainly a consum-
nation most devoutly to be wished.
We think it right that we should
present these views to the Demo
cratic State Central Committee be-
fore its final determination has
been reached. In whatever course
it may think proper to adopt, how
ever, We shall cordially support its
action.
