Indians; but, contrary to instruc-
tions, he received money ($3D
taken from Mrs. Meeker. The
Commissioners object on the
ground that the hostiles consider
this bribe, and thLt it has been
accepted as such, and will serve to
procure terms of reconciliation.
The Commission has been offered
bribes of ponies and money of ten
times the value, but declined to
accept, of course. Bad feeling has
existed for ten days or more,
against Stanley, and members of
the Commission have for that time
refused to speak to him. A cores
pendent at Los Pinos states that
Stanley feels disappointed that he
was not appointed to do the work
done by Adams; hence he has TAX
en- steps to throw stumbling stones
In the way of the Commission. A
feeling prevails in Colorado that he
is both incompetent and unfair,
and should be removed. 1t is be-
lieved Adams has made request
for his removal. The Commission
is making no progress whatever.
Defeat snd Capture Of Iasurgen,s.
HAVANA, Dec. 1st.-Captain-
General Bianco sent telegraphic
dispatch to the Vice. Governor
General, in which he states that
Lieutenant-Coionei Navarro, with
his (Blanco's) escort and forty cav
airy volunteers, defeated and dis
persed at Sabanos Nuevas, Prov
ince of Santa Clara, party of in
surgents under the leadership of
Chief GARLIC. The Captain-Gen-
erai states that the troops killed
twenty-three insurgents and
wounded many others. Among the
wounded were two brothers of Ca
rillo. Navarro's force also captured
the so-called Colonel Castillo and
the insurgent Bonachea, together
with a considerable number of hor-
ses and arms and aquantity of am
munition, and liberated twenty
nine negroes whom the insurgents
had forcibly taken from a planta-
tion in Adela and other sections.
The Spanish troops hearing shoot
ing between Navarro's force and
the insurgents, came to the spot
and helped to complete the de-
of the enemy. But few
of the Spanish were wounded.

to-day which is regarded, by the
more intelligent citizens of San
Francisco, as having as brilliant an
outlook as this county. We were
further surprised at learning that,
instead of matters having been rel
atlvely dull here, there are not
more than two towns in California
that have held their own as we'll as
Los Angeles. 1t is conceded that
all we have to do is to go on in the
economical and self-helping spirit
of the past two years to come out
splendidIy. Dull as we have re-
garded business as having been
here, 1t is a matter of downright
fact that it has been duller during
the same period in San Francisco
herself. All the indications point
to memorable revival in Los An
geles next Spring. Nowhere else
is there the same guarantee for a
handsome advance in the present
prices of real estate as here. Pixley
and his Argonaut may get off any
amount of vicious rhetoric, begot-
ten of malice, and aiming at an
tithesis, about Los Angeles county;
and, all the same, prosperity is
right ahead for this section; and a
measure of settlement, in addition,
which 1t has never known before,
wonderful as its past experienc es
have been.

ply as a paralysis upon the honest
pride of the workingman. They
beget despair, idleness, crime and
violence.
From peculiarly economic
standpoint the effect is disas-
trous. The sums yearly deport-
ed from California by Asiatics, il re-
tanned here aud compounded,
would have made our stock of
ready money the wonder of the
world. Placing the sums sent or
taken to China during the last
thirty years at S10,OO0,OOO annu-
ally, we should have equaled that
possessed by the whole United
States three years ago, If we had
been free from this Asiatic curse.
Not content with disorganizing
labor, and contributing nothing to
the thousand varieties of the retail
business of San Francisco, the Chi
naman has been gradually monop-
olizipg many branches of trade to
himself. However prosperous he
may have been, he marks his sue
cess by no single improvement
which will count for the city or the
State, in the future.
Asa result of these causes, no
city OF equal population In the
world has so many idle and de-
spondent white people as San
Francisco, nor has any Common
wealth of the Union such disor-
ganized and respondent labor mar
ket as California. Admitting that
the extreme views of Col. Hollister
ought to prevail, and that labor
should be paid very much less than
now, the wages of this labor should
be kept here, to undergo the natu-
raj operation of increasing and
multiplying, instead of being sent
over to China. People who won't
build a home in our midst-who
don't know what the idea OF home
is should be given the "cold
shoulder
California has spoken her will.
Our object in writing as we have
done in several issues of the HER.
AID is to do our little mite to stim-
ulate the Democratic party, at least,
to carry out, as far as in it lies, the
solemn purpose of a suffering Com
monwealth. Enlightened policy
and an intelligent selfshness both
call upon the Democracy to range
itself as the champion of the aspi-
rations of the people of the Pacific
Coast. Through that gate, and
that only, lies the pathway to the
electoral votes of Oregon, Nevada
and California. While the Repub-
lican party, in a moment of folly,
Is dreaming of ''strong govern
ment,u the Democratic party has
1t in its power to bind to itself, as
with hooks of steel, the electoral
votes which will, in all probability,
determine the result of the next
Presidential election.

Jay Gouid's Great Railroad scheme

Jsy GoSids Great Railroad scheme.
ST. JOSEPH, Dec. 1st.-Jay
Gould's great railroad program me
is being gradually unfolded. The
st. Joe and Denver Railroad, which
has been extended to a connectian
at Grand Island with the Union
Pacific, is to have another exten.
sion of much greater importance.
Gould and his associates having
purchased that part of the Central
Branch which lies west of Water
vile, il is to extend westward along
the South Fork of the Salmon
River, through the counties of
Graham and Sheridan, to a connec-
tion with the Kansas Pacific Road
at Monument. The gap of twenty
miles between Marysville and
Waterville, which is to be built at
once, will form an important
through line, to be operated as the
st. Joe and Denver. Waterville,
on the Central Branch, and Noun
ment, on the Kansas-Pacific, are
beyond the points to which the
Government paid a subsidy for the
construction of those roads, and in
the formation of this new line, by
avoiding the subsidized portions of
both those roads, they avoid paying
the Government percentage on the
business done. 1t is positively
known that an agent in Gould's in
terest has purchased the old road
bed, and the route between Wau-
thera and Atchison, for the pur-
pose of extending the Missouri
Pacific to this city. The grading is
to be repaired and the track laid as
soon as possible. Thus, st. Joseph
is to be the terminus of the Mis-
souri, Pacific. 1t has been under
stood for some time that the Atchi-
son and Nebraska road is to change
its track and run from the Troy
Junction to st. Joe. Jay Gould's
bridge at this place is evidently to
be made paying instrument.
Trouble with Agent stanley.
DENVER, (Col), Dec. Especial
dispatches to the Denver Tribune
represent great Indignation toward
Stanley, Agent at Los Pinos, on
the part of the members of the
commission, because of the part
Stanley has taken. It seems the
Commissioner had previously re-
quested, for good reason, Secreta-
ry Schurz to issue an order to
Stanley to have nothing to do in
the way of negotiations with the

The Local Outlook {:

No subject, on our recent vIslt TO
San Francisco, occupied our atten-
ton more fully than the obtaining
of correct ideas as to the business
status of the several sections of Cal
ifornia. We had been brow beaten
by local croakers into believing
that our own city and county had
been specially unfortunate during
a dull spell which visited all por-
tions of the Commonwealth impair
TALLY. On the contrary, we found
Los Angeles county spoken of with
great respect, in all quarters. The
more intelligent the person with
whom we conversed the less re-
served was the expression of favor
able opinion as to our possibilities
and future. This was not the case
six months ago. At that time
many sighting remarks could be
heard Oh many sides; though, we
are obliged to admit, the discern
ing INDUCED in them very sparing-
ly. The time has come, reasoning
by all analogies, for series of good
seasoDe in this county. The re-
marEable movement in our wines
and brandies has excited the mark
ed attention of those whose busi-
ness 1t is to keep themselves in
formed of the growing interests of
the State. Inquiry has resulted in
thorough appreciation of the I'M
rivaled facilities which Los Ange-
les possesses for irrigation, of her
moist lands and of the won
derful variety of her productions.
The quite respectable progress we
have made in the culture of wheat
has not escaped the critical observa-
tion of the keen capitalists of the
Golden State. Investigation has
led to the discovery of the fact that,
| on every hand, Los Angeles has
very valid claims to be regarded as
the premier county of the State.
The geographical and railway adj
vantages of our city have by no
means escaped the notice of many
of the most sagacious business men
of San Francisco. The prospect Of
an early connection by rail with
the Mississippi valley is taken into
count, as it is conceded that it will
pour into the Los Angeles valley,
for a visit of inspection, at least, a
large portion of the transcontinent'
al travel. Arizona is correctly re.
garded as the background and bull
wark of the Los Angeles of the fu-
ture. In that territory will be
found our markets, and from ArI-
zona,s successful miners and busi-
ness men we shall draw much OF
our welI-to-do population.
We were surprised and gratified
to note how thoroughly, in many
cases, our local situation is under
stood. The very depression through
which, without sufficient reason,
we have passed, is of itself seen to
be an element OF no mean
magnitude in the rebound which
is certain to come, with a good
season this year, an event which
now seems to be assured. Our read
ers will be astonished at one thing,
and we give 1t in all sincerity.
