The KILLING of Mahomed Jan,
which event was announced il Mon
days dispatches, puts ont of the way
the most formidable opponent that
the English we're likely to encounter
in Afghanistan. Mahomed had
gathered a considerable army, and
the hill! tribes, as well as those in the
border villages, began to regard him
as the chief to Wrest the Ameerdom
from the British control. His death
will make peace easier of attainment.
1t is already announced that the
chiefs generally are anxious to enter
upon negotiations as to the future
government of the country.

THE POLITICAL ROW.

The republican family quarrel is
creating more of O sensation in the
city than the importance OF the
organization will justify. At best the
party numbers but 200 or 300 mem
bers. hence who shall manage and
control it is not OF very serious
moment to anybody. However. the
action of the members in rebelling
against the central committees dark
lantern proceedings of last Saturday,
is heartily commended. 1t IS limited
that the committeeman, instead of
trying to bring the party to them,
will attempt to sneak back into the
party, the rumor being that the
doings at last Saturdays meeting are
to be declared void by the principal
actors therein. 1t is also said that
the committee, with degree OF
efrontery that is amazing and a cheek
that would shame a government
mule into humiliation and retirement,
will 60 into the conventions called
for this country and the territory,
and try to capture them. In that
event a repetition Of the Institute
convention of io2r years ago may be
expected, as We understand the re-
publicans are determined TO hold
their own, to the extent, If necessary,
of reading the dark-lAnternites out OF
the party. Already there is music in
the air, and a jolly row may be ex-
pected when the central committee
undertakes to get away with the con-
ventions. The HERALD remarked on
Tuesday, that the republicans were
without a newspaper, the organ OF
the party being owned by the hole
in-the-wall committee, one of whom
is the red-headed editor. Technically
and temporarily this is correct, but
this fact need not worry the party.
The Tribune can change Sin twink
ling" from a ran supporter of the
committee to the radical advocate Of
the rights of the party; or, as to that,
from red-hot republican to Bour-
bon democatic journal, as it did four
years ago. It's editor rather prefers
going back on himself, Ga prin-
ciple and in fact on everything,
so long as he runs with the winning
side. 1t may be little unpleasant
for the independent republicans to
take into their good graces, and &C
cept as their organ, leader and direc-
tor, the paper that now denounces
them as boilers, hoodlume, etc., but
human memory is so weak that it
soon forgets such occurrences as
newspapers fop-over, particularly
where the paper is chemically given
to these sudden manifest atoms OF III
sincerity. As soon as the republicans
shall make themselves masters OF the
situation, as they are in a fair way for
doing, they will have an organ, and
the twilight committee will be the
disconsolats party.
Lest the HERALD should again be
charged with making merry over
these quarrels in the republican fam.
lily. we again, in all earnestness, ad.
wise the malcontents to arrange their
Misunderstanding as speedily as
possible, and, if it can be done, es-
ssblish harmony in the littls band.

SEooTH SILENT.

Hon. Charles Silent, one CT the
United States district judges of
Arizona, is booked for IN official il
vestigation and overhauling. The
gentleman is charged with much
crookedness, wherein his official DO
sition and Influence sre being i'm
properly employed to put money into
his purse and those Of mis- friends, one
OF whom is said to be the distinguished
pathfinder" Governor F.emont.
We can scarcely bring ourselves to
believe that such things can be. We
know it has sometimes in the past
been suggested that judges in the ter
rilories-Uiah among the others
were not quite up to the standard that
the lamentsd Cesar fixed for Mrs. G..
but as the appointing power never
seemed to DO affected in the least by
the hints uttered or charges preferred,
there was nothing left for the ter
ritorial people TO do, except to declare
their suspicious groundless, and say
the judges were good and pure men.
The HERALD was so thoughtless on
one or two occasions as to modestly
remark that some persons might
regard it as improper for a Judge
to try suit involving the
title TO a mine in which his honor
was pTofessed owner, aud we have
net yet forgotten with what disfavor
our innocent suggestions were re-
ceived by the oOurtg. The noise that
was created by the remarks in court
and BY prosecutors and grand Jurors.
made it clear that the paper had |
been mistaken in presuming that
ownership Of property disqualified in
the least degree, the judge for trying
the question Of title. Ever since then
we have stood firmly by the territorial
Judges, and when We hear people, as
We sometimes do, say a judge is
ignorant, dishonest, immoral or cor
rupt, we smile and smile, and think
people don't know what they are
talking about.
Judge Silent cannot be guilty of the
charges preferred against him; and .
if ne we're guilty the Administration I I
would require year or two in which
% ascertain the facts after they had !
been made plain to everybody else, s
md afterwards anotheryear to decide l
lpon change. This is about how {
he thing would work in Utah, and !
) Arizona any better as a territory :

and Industries.

Los ANGELES, CAL, April 8, 80.
Editors Herald:
Since 1 wrote you last 1 have re-
ceived many letters, through your
office, making further inquiries, and
according to promise, submit few
facts which those interested in emf.
grafton, or in securing a place for q
real, ideal home under their oRn
vine and fig tree may find valuable.
In my last l said l would give an
outline of the business of Los Angeles
City and the county back of it. The
city lies south from San Francisco 400
miles by steamer and 375 miles by
rail. Lines of steamers and sailing
vessels ply between these points,
passage by steamer being SIS, and by
rail from SO to $22. Los Angeles
was settled by the Spanish long years
ago, but in late years its original
settlers have in q great measure
given way to the encroachments of
Americans, whom you will find from
almost every city in the Union. The
city has population of 10000, and
the county upwards of 10000. The
Los Angeles River rises in the Sierra
Mountains some twenty-five miles
north of the city, flowing through
one of the richest valleys in the
county until it reaches the north of |
the city where, by means of a sub
merged dam the waters are diverted |
into large bitches (such as City Oreekl |
and then distributed in the same /
manner, but the volume of water is
very large and fully adequate for ali
demands of the irrigators. The river
also supplies the city water works for
household and fire protection. There

IL VIEW OF the strong opposition
brought to bear against the construc
ton of the jordan and Salt Lake City
Canal, the result of the vote on the
loan proposition is gratifying in the
extreme, the majority for the loan
being about four-ffths, instead OF
twc-thirds, as required by law for its
adoption. This result is all the more
satisfactory because the largest ward
IN the city and second largest in vot-
lug population voted against the
loan. While the majority in favor
wasso large the opposition was enough
to spur the City Council to a strictly
faithful, cautious and intelligent
expenditure Of the money. The
people have endorsed the canal by
voting for the loan; it now remains
for the Council to see that the best
route be- chosen, economy in the out.

BOARD OF EDUCATION.

An adjourned meeting of the Board OF Edu-
cation was held last evening, with all the
members present.
On motion, the Night School was ordered
discontinued for the present.
On motion of Mr.. Hornblower, the time of
the High School was changed to one day ses-
sion instead of two.
The sum OF $50 was appropriated for the
employment of music teacher to give in
struction to the senior class, to prepare them
for the annual examination.
Superintendent Landes spoke at length in
favor of resolution which he had previously
introduced, requiring two examinations each
year for the purpose of classification. He
read letters from the State Superintendent of
Public Instruction in favor of the same, and
expressed the disadvantages of having but
one annual examination
Mr.. Hornblower opposed the adoption of
the resolution, and was sure that the classes
of Sacramento were further advanced than in
any other town of the State, and thought the
change unnecessary. The system of the
schools in Sacramento was almost perfect,
and in proof of this could be cited the large
number of pupils who are sent here from other
places to enter our public schools.
On motion of Mr. McClatchy, the resolu-
ton was laid over until the next meeting.
The Board then proceeded to open and
have read all bids for the contracts OF fur
nishing books for the schools OF Sacramento
county. Bids for furnishing one or more
books were received from the following pub
fishing firms A. L. Bancroft & Co., Barnes
& Co., d. Appleton & Co., Van Antwerp,
Bragg & Co., Jones Bros. & Co., Clark &
Maynard, University Publishing Company,
Ivison, Brakeman, Taylor & Co, Hough-
ton, Osgood & Co, and Harper & Bros.
Mr. Rornblower moved that committee
of four, including the Superintendent, be
appointed, to whom the bids could be re-
ferred for tabulstion. The motion was car
ried and the President appointed Messrs.
Lord, Stalker and Hornblower, with instruc-
tious to report at the next meeting of the
Board.
The Board then adjourned until next Tues

SOME TRICKS OF PAINTERS.

Apelles, from whom so many "ben tro-
vato anecdotes in connection with art are
derived, is reported to have painted o
basket of fruit so accurately that birds
came and pecked at it. 1t is, however,
somewhat doubtful whether this may be
accepted as evidence of the artists skill,
when we consider how easily duped are
these members of the feathered tribe who
mistake a clumsily constructed scarecrow
for live peasant, or lump of chalk for a
new-laid egg. A far better instance of still
life painting is furnished by the story of
George Moreland, who, being unable to
pay the reckoning at an inn, where the
thriftless artist had halted during his va.
grant wanderings, beat hasty retreat by
low window. On the landlord entering the
deserted chamber, he beheld upon table
what appeared the untouched meal of his
fraudulent visitor, but which was actually
a painted representation of the food with
its corresponding plates and dishes. The
landlord, at first much aggrieved bv the
non-payment of his bill and the DAMAGE
done to his furniture, was easily appeased
when certain connoisseur, who happened
to call at the inn, offered to purchase the
painted table for a price which more than
compensated the owner. Riddles. flies.
