to call Ford and Murphy, who were
sentenced to be hanged to-day for the

not rouse them. Physicians were called

sheriff Butler, accompanied by several

cell where the bodies Of the doomed men
still lay, apparently lifeless. Under a
physicians care the forms were carefully
lifted from their recumbent positions
and borne in the arms Of agitated depu-
ties to the scafold. Amid profound
silence the ghastly bodies were carried
up the steps TO the plank of the platform
and held in an erect position while the
fatal nooses were drawn over and around
their necks. No sign Of lifs was OBJ
served in either of the men. When the
last sad rites had been performed and
when the trap was sprung by an unseen

The Chineso ns Law Abiding
People.

The Chinese almost without excep-
ton are opium smokers. Nearly
every Chinese store in this city, and
elsewhere, has In il an opium den.
Nearly every Chinese woman is oil
the vilest class, and everybody that
knows anything about these people
understands perfectly well that these
women are bought and sold like cat
tie. Cinnamon are divided into bit
ter factions among themselves. They
kill and murder each other in the
most fiendish ways, utterly dis
regard our laws, and treat our Courts
with contempt. They have their own
secret tribunals which try cases, pass
sentences Of even death, and employ
the terrible "highbinders" to execute
their DEGREES. 1t was only few years
ago that the most prominent China
man in Southern California, fo Hing,
was chopped to death with hatchets
by Wong Chu Shut and some other
Wongs, or "highbinders," in open
daylight on Alameda street in this
city, because he had run counter TO
the "wongs" in an important rail-
road contract, and they had decreed
his death. Atthe trial Of this one OF his
slayers, Wong Chu Shut, the most
important witness against him, an
intelligent and partly Americanized
Chinamsn by the name of Jim Loey,
OF fine appearance and immense size,
whom all our old citizens will remem-

these people, who, we are told, are

The last issue Of the San Francisco

The San francisco Chronicle, like

considerable correctness. Like many
other papers that have been Repub-

on the people and can never hope for
any permanent success hereafter, and
begins to cast about for a new anchor

editorially remarks, in the course Of
an elaborate article, that the Ameri-

new departure from the musty doc
trines of the past. They might be

The Chronicle did not pipe in this
strain in 1884 The old Democratic
party which is but, as we claim,
another name for the American peo-
Pile, has seen the rise and fall of
many hostile organizations, and il
the Chronicle and those like it who
evidently deem the Republican party
practically dead, desire to resurrect
IL under another name, the Domoc-
racy are perfectly willing. Regard
less of transformations among its adj
versaries, the old constitutional party
of the Republic keeps ON the even
tenor Of its way, in victory as in de-
feat, serene and hopeful for the fu-
ture, ever retaining and ever desery-
ing the confidence Of the people.

effects OF electricity ia curing cases OF
chronic diseases when all else had failed,

YESTERDAY we referred 10 the un-
told sanitary advantage to us OF the
proximity of the ocean. In com
mercal view, this great highway OF
nature, open to all and free as the
winds which cool its face, has also
value beyond computation. The sea
will always stand as our guardian
against any possible tyrannies of man
in the way of extortionate rates for
either freights or fares, by any species
Of roads or carriage by land, either
up or down the coast, and even at
present the rates of freights and fares
to the Eastern States are largely
affected by the steamer charges by
the Isthmus route to New York. The
future will undoubtedly witness a
great commerce spring up by sea
with the ports OF Los Angeles county.
Wilmington, Santa Monica and other
seaside towns will yet realize what
would now be considered wonders in
the way OF ocean traffic. 1t is grand
mistake to suppose that we will never
have any commerce of this kind that
will amount to much. The statistics
published by us not long since,
wherein we set out the business being
transacted at Wilmington from ships
chartered to and from that port, as
tonished even Angelenos. And this
traffic is steadily increasing. That
harbor is being gradually improved,
which renders it additionally attrac-
tive to consignors, while the fact that
vessels can lie at safety there nearly
every day in the year, as it is now, or
even in the adjacent open roadstead,
is becoming constantly more gener-
ally understood. We expect to nee
Santa Monica also busy commercial
seaport, at which will anchor argosies
from many climes. There is no iea-
son why this charming town should
not become a populous city in the not
very distant future. There is room
for more than one large seaport
town on the shores of Los Angeles
county. There is excellent anchorage
nearly the whole year round at Santa
Monica, for ships OF any draft, and
there can be no doubt that its great
advantages in that respect will be
utilized in the very near future. The
facilities OF Los Angeles county for
commerce by sea, and the importance
OF the matter, are too often over
looked by eur people, especially by
the later accessions to our popula.
ton. Nature has been prodigal OF.
her choicest gifts TO this favored sec
ton, but in nothing has she been
more kind than in the bestowal OF the
advantages of the grand ocean
which bounds our county its extreme
length.
