will always be found ready to re-
spond to the call of those wishing
his services.
The number of distingue looking
people in Los Angeles during the
past two days cannot have escaped
the attention of the least observant.
1t is a noticeable fact that when
ever you see conspicuously dignl-
fled and handsome set of public
men together, they are nearly al
ways sure to be nearly all Demo-
Gratis.
A light, misty rain commenced
to fall at $50 on Sunday night.
This kept up until l o'clock yester-
day morning, when heavy rain
set in and continued until half-past
five. The pluviometer OF the Sig
nal Service office recorded 93-l00ths
and that of Mr.. Bliss, on Alameda
street, LIS inches as the nights
rainfall.
Officer McFadden last night ar
rested two men named Myers and
Simpson, against whom warrant
had been sworn out before Justice
Baldwin, charging them with bat
terry, committed on couple of ne
groes on Los Angeles street on Sat
urday night. They deposited $40
for their appearance this morning,
and were set at liberty.
The pleasant face and urbane
personality of the present Clerk of
the Supreme Court in Los Angeles
remind us of the fact that Barney
Woolf ran thousands and thousands
ahead of his ticket in the late cleo
ton. Were it not for its triteness,
we should trot cut a remark made
to one Sempronius on an antique
occasion as apropos of our friends
election experiences.
Hon. G. w. Julian, of Indiana,
from whom we acknowledge a
pleasant call yesterday, served
with Gen. Voiney e. Howard in
the House of Representatives. Mr..
Julian is at present member of
the law firm of Julian & Meloy,
No. 460 Louisiana avenue, WASH
ington, d. G.. The firm devote their
attention mainly to land litiga-
ton, for which they have special
facilities. Mr.. Julian visited Los
A npralns
Judge McKinstry, who has been
complimented by the people of CAL
ifornia with the highest vote re-
ceived oy any of the elect of the
new Supreme bench, arrived in
Los Angeles yesterday. 1t is a
specially fortunate thing that this
accomplished and able jurist is left
in this tribunal, to pilot the way to
his less experienced associates.
Judge McKinstry was accompanied
on the Ancon by Judge Niles. The
Supreme Court will consist, in this
session, of Chief Justice Wallace
and Associate Justices McKinstry
and Niles.
We note with pleasure the adj
vent amongst us of that fine old
chieftain, exhibited States Sen
ator VIM. M. Gwin. Mr.. OWNS
fame is coeval with the very exist
ence of California as member of
the American brotherhood of
States. Time deals gently with
this fine old Mississippi gentleman,
and we were heartily pleased to
hear him announce it to be his pur-
pose to attend the next Democratic
STATE Convention as a delegate
from Calaveras. The old war-horse
is unequivocal in his expressions of
disgust at the partial surrender of
the Democracy in the late Demo-
cratic State Convention at Sacra-
mento. Any delegate from Los
Angeles, Sonoma, and few of the
other counties, can rise up, con-
front this eXemplar and reminder
of a better day for the Democracy
in this State, and truthfully plead,
"Thou canst not say did it.n We
heartily hope that Senator Gwin
may enjoy his visit to Los Angeles.
He is one of those men who, like
Palmerston, Brougham and Theirs,
never grow old intellectually.
The rain on Sunday night, in adj
dition to damage in other parts OF
the city, played havoc with the
foundations Of the storehouse OF
Messrs. Lankershim 81 Van Mugs,
at the corner of Alameda and Com
mercial streets. The water came
down Alameda street in q perfect
torrent, and, running under the
warehouse, undermined the founda-
lions, letting large portion of the
building, in which about 10000
sacks of wheat are stored, down to
the ground. The heavy two-inch
blanks in the floor were snapped
like pipe-sems, the sides OF the
building in various places were
wrenched and twisted out of shape,
and the Notwithstanding was
bulged out or bent in. The roof
remained unbroken, but is some
what bent and twisted by the sink
ing of the floor. Mr.. Hoppersted,
the miller, thinks that none of the
grain sank into the water, and that
| it consequently escaped damage.
Probably no effort will be made to
remove the grain from the ware.
house, except as it is ground in the
mill, and u run of two months will
be sufficient to use up all there is
in the damaged portion of the
building. The cost of repairs will
probably not exceed a thousand Oh
