Capt. J. r. Gordon.

Pursuant to our pledge to give,
from time to time, during the cur
rent campaign, personal notes of
the candidates upon the Demo-
cratic ticket, we commence with
some personal notes Of Capt. j. I.
Gordon. The Captain is a gentle
man OF culture and is characterized
by great deal Of intellectual ac-
tivity. He is genial and dignified
in manner, is noted for his powers
Of observation and reflection and
for an unbending integrity. He has
been a resident of Los Angeles
county about eleven years, having
arrived at Ell Monte, after weari.
some trip across the plains, on
November /, 1868. He drove into
that town in a wagon drawn by
six mule team, and has resided
there ever since. II he should be
elected to the Assembly, of which
fact there can be little doubt, Capt.
Gordon will make a valuable and
conscientious member. We have
CLEANED the following facts of inter-
est as to our nominee:
His grandfather, Col. John Cor
don, Of Northumberland county,
Virginia. for many years represent
ed his Senatorial district in the
Senate of Virginia. His father,
Captain William Gordon, served in
the war of 1872, in command of
cavalry company, and served as an
Assemblyman for length Of time
In the Virginia Legislature, which
position he resigned upon being
appointed to q Federal position of
trust In the War Department, un-
der the administration Of President
Monroe. whose brother, Judge
Joseph Monroe, had married his
sister. His only brother, William
Wallace Gordon, volunteered un.
der General Sterling Price in the
Mexican War. and gave his life to
his country and the acquisition of
California. His uncle, MsJor-Gen-
eral Roger Jones, distinguished
himself and was wounded at the
battle of Lundy's Lane, and cap
tured the soldier that bayonstted
him In the charge. Commodore
Thomas Ap Catesby Jones, who, in
command Of the United States gun
boat flotilla, engaged the British
nest at Lake Bougne, In Louisiana,
and held them in check, and pre-

THE present campaign will set
tie, for all time to come, the ques-
ton as to the expediency of patch
ing up political fusions. In half
the counties of California there are
men who are on two or more
tickets. There seems to have been
a perfect mania for this political
patchwork. The originators OF
these precious alliances put Their
action on the ground of superfine
patriotism. AS matter of fact,
however, it is not the unworthi-
ness of the old political organiza-
tions that impelled them, but a
clamorous and multitudinous de-
ma nd for office. The two old es-
tablished parties are utterly made.
quate to furnish nominations for
the legions of eager and unselfish
men who sought to serve their fell
low citizeus-for a consideration.
If the ambitions of many of these
gentlemen who have jumped the
party traces shall be sanctioned by
the people it will be very difficult
hereafter to maintain any party
discipline, and to keep up regular
party organizations. Every seeker
after place or notoriety will pro-
ceed at once to organize his
own party. All these ephemeral
organizations, having neither po-
litical ancestry nor hope of politi-
cal posterity, will recognize them
selves, if successful, as above any
responsibility or restraint. On the
other hand, should the great multi
tude of these boilers be ignomin-
ously beaten, the work of political
dlsintegration will become untash-
ionable and every one will seek to
give his aid to energizing and, If
need be, reforming, one or the
other of the great national parties.
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1879-08-07

IT Is much to be desired that the
next Legislature should contain a
majority of some one political
party. However, it will have to
deal with such variety of new
and difficult questions that no one
who wishes well to his party would
have any great hankering for the
perilous honor Of moulding the
new laws. But the Democratic
party is in face of the rugged fact
that 1t cannot hope to have a ma
jority OF either House with four
sets of candidates In the field. All
the more necessity is there, there
fore, for O powerful and compact
minority, to restrain corrupt or In
legislation. Democratic
like Los Angeles should
take pride in having their dele

THE Hon. Newton Booth has
beeu drawn from his retirement to
accompany Perkins over the State
and give him character for hav-
ing been good boy in everything
that relates to railways and corpo.
ra;ions. There can be no doubt of
the fact that Pinafore needed this
endorsement and it will, of course,
do some good, for many Califor.
mans have a firm belief in Gov.
Booth. We suppose the pnlssant
United States Senator has been
thrown into the scales to counter
balance Gorham, whose trenchaDt
inroads upon the Republican party
aud its candidate have carried ter
ror to the hearts of the leaders of
that organization. For our part,
we don't believe that the advocacy
of Gorham does good to any cause
and we should prefer to see him
battling, as of old, for the party
which is congratuIating itself on
being at last fairly rid of him. His
championship would be the surest
way of insuring its defeat. People
who read the rounded periods of
Booth testifying to Perkins's i'm
maculate record in railway mat
tors, while a State Senator of Cali
fornia, should bear the fact IN mind
that this endorsement covers a
period anterior 10 Perkins's connec-
tlon with the steamship company.
Since then his relations with the
railway have been much more in
innate, and, the people stubbornly
think, equivocal. The certificate
of good moral character, from q
corporation standpoint, needed by
Mr.. Perkins, must cover the period
during which he has been men,
Der of the firm of Goodall, Nelson
& Perkins and of the Pacific Coast
Steamship Company, to give any
satisfactory assurance to the voters.
IF Senator Booth has anything to
say on this point the people will
be glad to listen to him.

Another Debris Suit.

MARYSvILLE, August 0th.-Ihe
City Council, by unanimous vote
of its mem bers, last night decided
to commence an injunction suit
against the hydraulic miners upon
the headwaters and tributaries Of
the Yuba river. The meeting was
a spirited one, attracting much at
tention from citizens. BY the
courtesy of the Council several
prominent Taxpayers were heard
in opposition to the proposed ac-
ton, advocating the proposition for
delay on the part of the miners,
made in good faith by A. l.. Rose
and James O'Brien, which il to
give some $4,000 to the city to inn
prove and strengthen the levee now
built, providing the city will ab-
stain from instituting suit until
after the meeting of the next Leg
islature. The delay asked for Is tor
the purpose of inaugurating plan
for controlling the deLris and pre-
venting it's deposit in the Yuoa
river, and make the same effective
by competent legislation. Nothing
In the agreement shall be deemed
to pref ice the right OF either
party. The miners, through the
individuals named, agree To give
satisfactory bonds to furnish mnn-
ey as required for the immediate
prosecution Of work. General Cad
walader and Judge Crsddock, of
Sutter county, aided by City Attor-
ney b lcher, are retained as coun-
sci for the city. Suit will he begun
at once and prosecuted vigorously
The action of the Council Is vigor-
ousiy commented upon to day.
The opinion of many OF the largest
Taxpayers is that the delay asked
for by the miners, backed by tneir
liberal donation, should have been
granted.

Bellinger sentenced this morning
All Lee, the convicted Chinese
murderer, to be hanged on Tues
day, September %. 1879, between
the hours of 10 A. NJ. and 2 p. NJ. No
motion for new trial was filed by
defendants counsel. All Leo stated
through an interpreter that he was
innocent Of the crime. At the time
the murder was committed he
stated that he was sick In bed, and
therefore could not have partici-
pated in it.
Charles Lee Quong, convicted of
murder in the second degree, was
also sentenced to the peniteDtiary
for life. The prisoner made long
speech to the Court in English, and
declared he was entirely innocent
of the crime; that the detectives
did not know anything, and that
the jury was composed of fools. He
concluded by telling Judge Bellin-
ger that he would be sorry some
day for passing sentence against
him. Some of the prisoners re-
marks were quite faeetious aud eX-
cited considerable merriment, not

casion.

Secret Service division and by members of the police

these suspected parties subsequently dis

This resulted in the arrest, Saturday
and Sunday evenings last by Chief Drummond as

who are said to be the leaders OF the gang. These
parties. who gave their names as Matthew Rooney
Hugh Curry and John Doe alias James Clarke, were
yesterday taken before United States Commissioner
Shields Of passing counterfeit trade dollars
which charge they were committed for examina-
tion. In the of Rooney bail was fxedat $4,000
and in that of Curry and Clarke 5000 each.
Chief Drummond looks upon this as very i'm

parties have passed upward OF ten OF these
