repudiatcd

or q first time repudiatcd
by the Republican party. We
desire to see the issue raised
with directness and emphasis
which will leave no room for
doubt. The Democracy say to the
Republican party, "Under which
King, Bszonian?" 1t desires to
know whether its opponent, when
the heat of the combat is over, be-
lieves in loaded dice aud in every
species of moral chicane. The Re-
publican party is on its trial before
the country as the "God and Nor
atty and Decency" party. There
Is general desire to know wheth-
err or no it is the most assembling
and hypocritical organization
whose history has been recorded in
political annals. The determined
fight which is being made in that
party to defeat an inquiry into the
champion fraud of the age leads us
to fear that, with all its professions
of love of liberty, it is really abso-
lutisu and monarchical in its in
stincts; and that, with all its as
sumption of superior virtue, it
hasn't got the honesty of the COM
mon run of betters on the turn of a
card,
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1878-05-19

TWO exquisite asses named Eu-
gene Hale and George G. Gorham,
claiming to represent the National
Republican Congressional Com
mittee, are out in silly pronunci-
amiento founded on the patriotic
determination of the Democratic
House of Representatives to inves-
tigate the Florida and Louisiana
frauds. There is deal of "fe, ii,
70, fumn eloquence in this docu'
ment. It carries with it the flavor
of the mock heroic, such as crops
out in the burlesque of La Belle
Helene. The day for cowardly
bullying on the strength of numer-
ical superiority has passed for the
Republican party, and it has
passed for the simple reason that
the Democracy not only control
more States than their adversaries,
but half million more votes be-
sides. Perhaps if little Eugene
Hale and our own precious Gorham
resort to civil strife they will fint
that they have made much such .
mistake as q portion of the Demo
cratic leaders made in 1861. The
Democratic party is not TO be de.
tered from following in the path
of duty by vaporing threats. The
whole Republican management Of
the last campaign was founded
upon the undisguised assumption
that Democrats had no rights
which Republicans were bound to
respect. Campaigns conducted on
similar principles would make it
forever impossible for any but Re-
publicans to have their votes
counted in the election Of Presi'
dent of the United States. Nothing
could possibly so much contribute
to exalting the dignity Of the
American people as to have ii
made apparent to the world that
| the national conscience was FESTIVE
under fraud, and that our Congress
and Courts always stood ready to
redress wrong. Whatever is done
will be done peacefully, unless the
Repu blican party contains more
uinnies of the Hale-Gorham order
than we think it does. We again
reiterate our belief that, while it
by no means follows that Hayes
will be removed as the result of a
Congressional investigation, it is
exceedingly probable that he may
be. That he ought to be, with
such developments as the comics.
sions of McLin and Dennis, nc
reasonable man, even though lie
doubted before, can doubt longer.

THE howl that is going up in the
Republican party because it ia pro-
posed to probe the Louisiana and
Florida rotteDness shows how
dearly many of the mem bers Of
that organization are attached TO
fraud. Their cunning attempts to
divert this imperative investiga-
ton to other topics shows how
averse Republicans are TO have
light poured upon what WAS con-
fessedly an infamous chapterIn our
history. The State of Maryland
complains that full effect has not
been given to her electoral vote.
Two of the mambers OF the Florida
Returning Board have formally nd
solennly confessed that State
which they returned for Hayes
really cast its vote for Mr.. Tilden.
That Is the question and it cannot
be obscured. If, as a result of the
investigation, Mr.. Tilden should
replace Mr.. Hayes in the Presi-
dency we are perfectly willing,
should Massachusetts, or any other
Republican State, complain by
o formal legislative act that
full effect has not been given
t. her vote, especially should two
members of Democratic Return
ing Board Democrats don't in
dulge in this machinery of fraud
confess to having been influenced
by friends of Mr.. Tilden to periure
themselves, that an exhaustive in
vestigation should be had. The
Republican party feels that 1t dare
not face the inquiry; and, conse-
qusntly, 1t squirms, and wriggles
and filibusters. Our chief anxiety
IL confined to having the RESPONSE

"WHERE are we now" This is
the inquiry that is wrung from US
as we contempla the muddle into
which the question of nominating
delegates at large 10 the Constitu-
tional Convention has been thrown.
The one party is as deep in the
mud as the other is in the mire.
Unless some plan is adopted, and
that soon, the Workipgmen will be
the only organization that will
have a regular ticket in the field
for delegates at large. In view of
the fact that these gentlemen will
have to be voted for by the whole
people of the State, very little time
is to be lost. The non-partizan Sac
ramento Convention called for
May 22d will assemble Wednesday,
and we have not yet heard of a
single man in either party who
proposes to attend it as n repre-.
sentative of Los Angeles county.

THE day is coming when Lo!

Angeles will score a fine record as
. wheat growing county. VIXEN
the Messrs. Lankershim & Van
Mugs began to raise their magnifi-
cent crops in the San Fernando
valley their experiment was looked
upon as very doubtful expert
ment, although wheat had always
been raised in small quantities in
that section. This wheat is the
very best in the State. IMr. Isaac
Lankershim, whose Judgment can
not be surpassed in such matters,
has informed US that the extensive
tracts of coast land in this county
are admirably adapted to the
growth of wheat. The danger from
rustis very grossly exaggerated;
and, even when there is rust to
some extent it by no means fol-
lows that merchantabls article
cannot be raised. A gentleman
thoroughly conversant with wheat
culture told us yesterday that the
whole belt of country, stretching
from Santa Monica to below Santa
Ana, a distance of between fifty
and sixty miles, and to q width of
probably ten miles, would, in his
opinion, yield as fine wheat as any
in the world. Wherever the wind
blows strongly enough from the
ocean to shake the fog and dew
from the grain before the sun at
tains its maximum heat, wheat
will flourish and the danger of rust
Is very slight. We should like to
zee it demonstrated that body of
land containing easily three or foui
thousand acres in this county, in
addition to the San Fernando val
ley, is fine wheat land. No wheat
ever looked more promising than
the fields about Wilmington dc
now. There is every reason TO eX-
pect an abundant yield, of unsur-
passed quality.
A thing not generally known Is
that many of the finest wheat re-
gions of the State at first would not
grow wheat. There are extensive
tracts about Russian river which
now never fail of u bountiful crop
OF this cereal which, until the vir-
gin rankness had been worked from
the soil, never returned the seed.
Thousands of acres of Los Angeles
land which have heretofore been
devoted to barley and corn would
undoubtedly raise excellent wheat,
with, of course, an occasional wear
of failure.
The experience of the Messrs.
Lankershim & Van Nuys has been
that they can rely upon wheat
crop in the San Fernando valley
six years out of seven, altogether
without irrigation. Our occasional
drouths are drawback, but every
section of the country has its draw
backs. Portions of the State of
New York suffered last year as Sc
we're drouth as California. The
very sources Of the Croton water
supply were menaced. Many of
the farmers had not only to sub
nit to the loss of their crops but
they were put to it to obtain water
for domestic purposes. Gangs of
hundreds of armed men frequently
came into collision in contests for
the waters ofcerIain little lakelets
tributary to the Hudson. We can
take our drouths every six or seven
years and make money farming if
we shall only raise wheat instead
of barley. Wheat always COM
mands remunerative market,
while the consumption of barley
is mainly local. The large crop of
wheat of the present year, and the
success which has attended its
growth in different sections of the
county, will DOUBTLESS lead to its
more general introduction.

she was chosen for her singular holiness
abbess of the double house Of monks and
nuns. She died A. d. 779, and ninety years
afterwards Olgar, Bishop of Eichstadt,
being warned in q dream, translated her
bones to his church. They were discovered
clean, but moistened with holy oil or
dew, and were placed in q marble tomb,
whence the oil has ever since distilled,
drop by drop into a silver she'll, the flow
increasing during the time of Mass. The
miraculous liquid when treated irreverently
has always evapOrated. On the removal
of the vessel below it, or in case of any
dirt lodging in it, the drops hang like
grapes, and while the country was under
interdict they ceased to ooze from the
shrine. This holy dew has wrought count
less miracles up to our own time, and ia a
heavenly medicine to the afflicted, whether
in soul or body.
A soldier praying in the church of St.
Wslburga in his rough gauntlets had them
suddenly wrenched off his hends, aud they
only returned to him on his lamenting his
irrevereuce. The distaff of woman who
spun on feast days became glued to her
hand, as did the ball of a little girl who
was over-fond of play; nor could they
obtain release till they mad done penance
at the SAINTS shrine.

ST. MATTHIAS, APOSTLE.

After our Blessed Lords Ascension, His
disciples met together, with Mary, His
Mother, and the eleven Apostles, in an
upper room in Jerusalem. The little COM
papy numbered no more than 100 souls.
They were waiting for the promised coming
prayer. Meanwhile there was q solemn act
to be performed on the part of the Church
which could not be postponed. The place
of the fallen Judas must be filed up, that
the elect number of the Apostles might be
complete. st. Peter, therefore, as Vicar Of
Christ, arose to announce the divine decree.
That which the Holy Ghost had spoken by
the mouth of David concernins Judas, he
said, must be fulfilled. or him it had been
written, "His bishOpric let another take"
A choice, therefore, was to- lbe made of one
among those who had been their compan-
ions from the beginning, who could bear
witness to the Resurrection of Jesus Two
were named of equal merit, Joseph called
Barsabas and Matthias. Then, after pray
ing to God, who knows the hearts of all
men to show which of these He had chosen,
they cast lots, and the lot fell upon Mat
thias, who was forthwith numbered with
the Apostles. 1t is recorded of the Saint
thus wonderfully elected to 30 high a voca-
tion that he was above all remarkable for
his modification of the flesh. 1t was thus
he made his election sure.
The lesson of st. Matthias is enhanced
by the warning we derive from the fate OF
Judas, to whom he is set by Scripture in
such fearful contrast-Judas, who had
been the friend of jesus, with the grace
and vocation of an Apostle. But Judas
loved money, and little by little avarice
ate away all the good that was in him. He
became thief. Hardening his heart, he
Judged others, and became bitter and false,
At last, blind with ambition and pride, FOX
a few pieces of silver he betrayed his Sa
viour. He then hanged himself upon atree
went, in the words of st. Peter, "to his
own place." Not he who begins, but he
who perseveres to the end shall be saved.

Il FACT THAT CANNOT BE SAOOTHED
OYER.

Among the early accounts of the wreck of
the Metropolis it was stated that one of the
contractors who chartered this vessel decided
only Just before she sailed that none of his
family OF relatives should embark in her. We
have not since seen this anywhere denied. On
the contrary, it has been confirmed by o Phila-
delphia correspondent of ope of our coutempo-
raries, who, while admitting its truth, pleads
in extenuation the great pains taken by the
contractors to satisfy themselves that the ves-
sci was seaworthy. This argument is all in
vain. The fact that q man ID unwilling to in
trust what ia most dear to him in Q ship is evil
dence that he believes her unsafe, which is
not by any means overcome by his willing
nees to let hundreds Of others take their
chances on her. We have only to say that he
who thinks q vessel safe enough for two or
three hundred laborers that is not safe enough
for his own family, has NO place in American
society.
The testimony of experts to the seaworthi-
mesa of the Metropolis is as abundant as it
that the Colorado giant, made of Portland
cement, was q genuine human petrfaction,
just as experts proved that the TariffviLe Q
bridge, through which q train had broken F.,
was SO strong that train could possibly
break through it.
The purser of the Metropolis, who appears
to have been quite cool and selfpcssefsed
hand that "the vessel wss rotten. She was
washed ashore in splinters, small enough for
kindling wood. l picked up two pieces to
verify my statement. 1t is like rotten punk,
or an old stump that has been deosying for
fifty years."
These are terrible facts, and in view of
them, if the statement is true that one of the
contractors feared to trust any of his own peo.
pie on the vessel, it is a Circumstance that can
not be smootbed over.
