The HERALD this morning develops
some rather interesting features of the
working of the new clause in the County
Government bill in reference to the re-
muneration of Constables and Justices Of
the Peace in the several bailiwicks of the
remote parts of Los Angeles County. If
these able officials find the roads open
for them "to get their work in" to the
nice tune of making 81, 900 each during
the first month of their incumbency OF
their offices, and then incontinently
shake the dust Of their official duties
from the soles of their official
feet, they may indeed smile
at a collapsed boom and the
failure of auction sales of city lots
in the midst of the Mojave plains. So
long as ''tramps" can be laid by the
heels at the rate Of ten per haul, and
brought to the city by the dozen the
rural Justice of the Peace and his able
lieutenant, the constable. may we'll live
like fighting cocks at the public expense.
Let us see. At three dollars per head
ten tramps are worth thirty dollars to
the climbs of the law" albeit the COM
bined resources of the ten may not
amount to one nickel. Then there is
mileage at the rate of twenty. five cents
per mile, which does not actually
cost more than three. On journey OF
a hundred miles, at twenty-five cents a
mile, the frugal servant who finds
public Office public trust'-Ah beg
pardon, we mean "private snap"-
gets $25. 1t really costs him less than
$5. On this basis he will soon roll up
his 81 900 limit. Now, if he can do as
his predecessors did, to-wit, put in bill
for these ten tramps in this style, mile
age for John Brown, $25; item mileage
for James Smith, $25 item mileage for
Tom Jones, $25, and 80 on to the end
of the list, or $3.50 for the ten
vagrants he will indeed find his
public Office private snap. The Board
of Supervisors might keep an eye on
this matter, and see that they do not
offer too large inducements to the rural
wearers of the ermine and to the rural
Constabulary to vacate their Office after
having put money in their purse for one
short moon. There is still a further
phase of this question that demands
attention. 1t is alleged that the indict-
ments, as drawn by these learned
Thebans of the rural districts, are
so woven that they will not hold a new
born chicken intent on going to roam,
much less an able bodied tramp. Per-
haps this is not so much from lack of
legal acumen, as It'll little scheme car
ried out of malice prepense. Is all this
official bungling in order to run the
tramp" in to the jaws of the legal Min
Otaur, drawing revenue of So fees and
s25 mileage, and that kindly act done.
then to release him on technicality |
and turn him loose, to be caught up as
soon as he has gone on his. way far
enough from Los Angeles to make it an |
object to run him back? How is this |
any way?

Yaggy's Chart Superior,


There Ia quite lively contest in the
county in the sale of anatomical charts,
and we are sorry to say some misrepre.
scntation has been INDUCED. Miss L.
NJ. Stearns is placing the Iaggy chart
in many Of the school districts, and it
has also been secured by Prof. Willcutt
for use in the Audubon County Normal.
1t has been stated by rival solicitors
that Prof. Willcutt had withdrawn his
recommendation of the Yaggy Chart.
This report coming to the knowledge
of the superintendent he made haste to
address Miss Stearns communication
on the subject, the gist of which is
found in tho following extract:
EXTRA, Iowa, July gath, 1850.
An examination Of the other series Of auatomi,
cal charts has convinced me that while thev may
possess some points Of excellence fully equal or
even superior to those Of iagsy, yet when all
things are considered, | fully believe that
YAGGY's WORK ~ SUPERIOR. Enthusiastically
say that were purchasing fur my own use I
should buy fAGGy's CHART and no other. |
have purchased yaggy's work for the Audubon
County Normal Institute.

Iowa is becoming famous for her
summer resorts, and the custom OF tax
ing midsummer vacation is growing
upon our people. The railroads are
very considerable In making special rates
for excursionists and everything is ia
v0rable to make vacation popular. 1t
may well be believed, too, that all who
can indulge the luxary are benefited
thereby. A fortnight of recreation and
rest from the routine duties OF business
or dOmestio life causes the excursionist
to return with deeper interest and re-
newed strength. While the expense OF
an outing is a consideration in many
households, the man whose income is
regulated by his own energies will find
that he is equally well off at the end of
the year if he puts business care and
worry away during the heated term,
The salaried man, however, whose earn
ings cease with his labors, will ilnd 1t a
doubly expensive luxury. And after
all, those of us who find 1t announcement
to leave business can magnify the mos.
quito pest and the danger of snake bites
and hard colds until there is left no
room for regret that we cannot join the
thropgs at the resorts,

Ordination Services.

AS announced two weeks ag0 the
council called by the First Baptist
church of Audubon, convened Mt the
church at 2 o'clock p. m. on the 10th
inst The meeting was called to order
by the church clerk. Rev. Parsons was
elected temporary chairman, Rev. ID.
lieyan OF Atlantic, permanent modera-
tor of the council, Rev. A. +. Sharp-
mack clerk. Calling the roll of invita-.
tons, 1t was found that eleven ordain-
ed ministers and eight or nine lay dele
gates were present,
The organization of the council being
effected the examination of the candi-
date, II. A. Smith, was next In order
and was conducted under three differ
ent heads. His religious experience,
his call to the ministry and his views of
doctrine. To the two first his state
ments We're clear, plain and convincing.
His doctrinal views he had written out
in systematic order, and after he had
read them to the council he was sub
jected to u severe test of questioning
which lasted nearly two hours, but the
candidate stood the test splendidly and
to the satisfaction of all present.
After the candidate retired from the
room, his classmates of the Theological
Seminary, Rev. 7. w. Powell, of Hyde
Park, his former pastor DIR. Carter of
Marshalltown Baptist church, and 9TH
ers who knew him all united In giving
u most splendid character. And last
came his father who was ready to give
his son to the ministry of the word.
In the evening Rev. Powell preached
the ordination sermon, Rev. Bryant of
Harlan, the charge to the church and
Rev. Parsons the charge to the candi-
date. Rev, DR.. Bevan the ordaining
prayer and Rev. Perrine of Marshall
town, the hand of fellowship. And m
IN addenda to the usual routine the
Rev. Dickinson of the Presbyterian
church welcomed him among the Pas
tors and also rs citizen of the town.
The services and ceremonies of the oc-
casion were simple and impressive and
enjoyed by all who witnessed them.
And so the little Baptist church of
Audubon, not yet two years old start
ing with II membership Of thirteen and
now numbering forty, with u new and
beautiful house of worship all paid for,
starts on Its career of usefulness and
labor of love. May Gods blessing be
with them. ~,

LOST HIS HEAD
Because he was too Free With
His Little Jokes.

Washington, d. d., May 13.-Dayid l..
Git. of ST. Louis, held his position in the
pension Office through FIVE administrations
only to fall as one of Corp. Tanners earl
lest victims. He was summarily removed
several days ago, greatly TO his OVID and
his fellow clerks surprise. Mr.. GIFTS SER
vice dated from 1869. He was, of course,
republican. There was no question
about his efficiency. When the democratic
administration came in, Mr.. Git expected
10 60 but he didn't. Commissioner Black
decided to retain him. especially after Sen
ator Cockrell had called aud spoken high
ly of the Nissourian's abilities. The
Senator afterward said that when he found
Republicans were to be retained in large
numbers he concluded Git might as well
be kept as any of the others, because he
knew him to be good man. Having sur
vived the democratic administration, Mr..
Git felt easy in mind, and the dismissal
without warning took his breath away. He
was holding the position OF Assistant Chief
of the Mail Division, aud was drawing a
salary of $1,000. The dismissal has been a
nine days wonder at the pension Office, but
an explanation is out at last. The Story
is that Mr.. Git was removed on
request from the White House. Until
recently the venerable fsther-in-law
of the president, Rev. DIR. John w. Scott,
was a subordinate clerk drawing q salary
OF $1,000 under Mr.. Gilt. He is a digni-
fed, placid old gentleman with habit of
dropping into a nap at occasional times
during the day. The in6rmity came upon
him quite frequently while at his desk in
the pension office. An easy-geing chief
might have overlooked these little lspses,
but not so Mr.. Git. He was a disciplin-
arian and joker. He thought it a smart
thing, SO the story goes, to call out loudly
to the old clergyman, when he caught
him mapping Baltimore, change
cars" OF course, the other sub
ordinates thought this a good joke
and laughed as often as Mr.. Gitt perpe.
trated it. He is also said to have referred
disrespectively 10 DR.. Scott as IAN old
stoughtcn bottle" Information of these
petty annoyances reached the WhiteHouse.
1t was not carried by DR.. Scott, who is a
Christian gentleman and above small re-
venges. But this Administration does not
overlook small abuses, and Mr.. GIFTS re-
moyal was called for in spite of his Repub-
icanism, his twenty years service and his
efficiency.

A STATES DISGRACE.
The Cook County, Illinois, Asy
lum i'm a Terrible COndi-
ton.

Chicago, ILL.,, May 13.-The hearing o.
the application for the release of Dora Viii
lard, an inmate of the Cook county insane
asylum, was begun in the county court thi:
morning. Mrs. Helen NJ. Shedd, of the
Woman's Protective association, testified
that the asylum was overcrowded that
there was not enough seats for the patients,
who we're compelled to sit on the floor
that the county was paying &c per pound
for hogs shouts, which were being fed to
the patients there was much drunkenness
in the institution, and there had been some
cases of scurvy. Dr. Herman, the present
incumbent, had improved the present con-
dition of affairs.
Mrs. DIR. Hunt, of the asylum medical
staff. testified that there were over 1000 pa
tients in the institution, which is calculat
ed to accommodate 600 at the outside, and
the number Of attendants was much too
limited.
Further evidence was to the effect that
the patients were fed on pigs heads for an
entire year With potatoes for vegetables
once 6 week. There was no service and
the patients fought for possession of the
potatoes, with the result that the weak got
none and over fifty Of the inmates became
afflicted with scurvy. This was under a
former administr alton.
One of the medical staff testified that in
one ward there are twenty-eight violent
patients with oIly nine rooms to care for
them in, or an averrge of three in each
room. Ii was absolutely necessary to have
only one or two In some of the rooms, so
that four persons were crowded
into others. These rooms are 5Ix10
teet in size. The beds are % feet
wide, but in many cases two patients
are forced to sleep in them. Under such
circumstances, with insufficient attendance,
the patients would climb over the cots and
fight and the medical attendant was fire.
quently called up six or eight times in the
course of single night to 90 to patients
who were attempting to commit suicide or
to the members of the County Board again
and again, but nothing was done TO
remedy il.
1t was further in evidence that only one
and one-half yards of flannel to each pa
tient was furnished last winter.
Mrs. Shedd also testified that she had
heard that some of the male patients had
keys to the female wards. These things
she said had all been brought out in
previous investigation by the Weman's
Protective association, and copy of the
report of this investigation was put in evil
dence.
The board of county commissioners this
afternoon passed resolution nsming
committee of citizens to recommend a suit
able person to be appointed medical super
intendent of the insane asylum, to succeed
DIR. Herman, whose management hiss been
so severely arimadverted upon recently.

NO MILITIA.
The House Refuses to ApprOpri
ate Money for "SOldier
Boys"

Jefferson City, Mo-, May lS.-Sorrow
will probably reign in the camps of the
militia of this state for two years to come,
for to-day the house refused point blank TO
appropriate even the small sum which the
senate had placed on the general appro-
priation bill. The only explanation of the
action of the house is found In the fact
that the way-back members thought the
Sl7, 200 given the state by the national
government sufficient.
The house committee on criminal juris-
prudence submitted favorable report to-
day with an amendment on DR.. Crawforc's
bill introduced last Saturday providing
for state executioner to be appointed by
the governor and TO superintend all hang
ings in the state. The amendment which
was agreed to, simply provides salary OF
SO per day for the executioner while en-
gagged in performing the duties of his Of
fee. The bill as amended was then or
dered TO engrossment. liz will be up in
the house for passage in a few days and
will very likely 60 through successfully.
The senate this afternoon refused to re-
cede from its amendment TO the eleomosy-
nary appropriation bill allowing $4,000
to complete the lunatic asylum building
at Fulton. The house last Saturday re-
fused to concur in this amendment and a
conference committee will have to be sp-
pointed to devise some means of settling
the matter.
Governor Francis to-day vetoed senate
bill No. 500, which repealed the session act
of 1857 compelling all cable cars to provide
suitable guards on front platforms and en-
acted that no person should be allowed to
get or or off the front platform of cable
car while in motion.
