Mr.. 9. A. SEAY, editor of the Norwalk
News, called upon us yesterday and as
sured US that the reports of the DANA
ges by the late storm were grossly ex-
aggerated. There were no houses de-
stroyed in the region covered by the
freshet, and no lives lost. The streams
here and there cut out small strips of
land under cultivation, but the loss is
infnitesimal compared with the benefits
that will result from the overflow. The
damages to bridges will soon be repaired,
and travel has only undergone, at most
points, aslight interruption. One feature
of the wide spread of the overflow, con-
sequent upon the great volume of water
that poured into the San Gabriel and
New rivers near the Monte, is the i'm
mense amount of rich sediment that has
been deposited upon the inundated
lands. This sediment has greatly en-
riched the soil and will furnish wealth
of fertilization that will more than COM
pensate for the exhaustion of the crops
81 years past. 1t has really made the
Valley virgin again, and the dense de-

SENATOR GoUCHER entered a strong
protest against the passage OF the bill
gerrymandering the legislative districts
in the interest of the Republican party,
but admitted at the start that he was
we'll aware that it was waste of time to
try to stem the passage of the scheme
which had been made a party measure
in order to secure a Republican majority
for the next decade in the legislature.
He closed his remarks with the following
indignant denunciation of the shame
full measure
The bill follows no line of reason,
good policy or constitutional intention.
Mountains and valleys are alike swept
away in this act, which should be en-
titled can act to make the state legisla-
ture permanently Republican. No
convenience of the people is consulted,
but a sweeping, outrageous policy of
partisan advantage is made the rule in
spite of the mandate of the constitution.
From the manacles of the caucus we ap-
peal to the people, and the puny
schemes involved in this apportionment
farce shall fall like dead leaves under
the march of public opinion and the
patriotic ballots of the people.
The bill was also denounced for it's
gross injustice by several Republican
senators.

The unprincipled men who are de-
luding the negroes of the south into the
belief that they will better their con-
dition and get free lands in Oklahoma
by going there, have much to answer for.
The colored people have gone there in
large numbers, and are in a wretched
condition. They suffer severely from the
extreme cold of that freezing region, are
homeless, and, to cap the climax, small
pox has broken out amongst them. The
whites already there are exasperated at
the formidable colored irruption, and
take the poor negroes situation from
every point of view into consideration it
is very wretched and deplorable one.
Here is a case in which the northern
sympathy for southern negroes could be
made of practicable value to them, If it
were genuine, by taking immediate
steps to counteract the evil effects of the
delusive emigration schemes that are
disseminated by designing persons
amongst the credulous colored people
of the south.

SENATOR VEST is one of the committee
that will accompany the remains OF Sen
ator Hearst to his home in San Fran
cisco. 1t is believed that after he has
acquitted himself of the sad duties to the
memory of his deceased colleague, he
will avail himself of his presence on the
coast to visit many points of interest in
our state, and inform himself of our ma
tional wants and our claims for federal
legislation. Senator Vest is one of the
brightest and brainiest of our public
men, and through his quickness of ap-
prehension, soundness Of judgment and
strength in debate, exercises a very
commanding influence in the United
States senate. AS he is distinguished
Democratic leader, we have heard that
steps will be taken by one of our local
clubs to invite him here to make a
presentation of the great questions ag-
itating the country before he returns to

IT LOOKS as if the big Republican dog
in the Illinois legislature would be
swung all the way between hades and
the matutinal repast by the insignifi-
cent Alliance stump of tail. The effect
will be to elect Streeter to the United
States senate. AS between straightout
Republicanism aud pure Democracy,
Streeter would be with the former
party. This is the second case of the
Republicans succumbing to the Alliance
in the choice of senator. Meanwhile
the Alliance people do not get many
farmers into seats in any body. They
elect political preachers, and preaching
politicians, editors, lawyers and what
not to office, but not farmer do they
elect to anything.

A CONGRESS
That Laid Violent Hands on the
Rights OF the People.

Rights OF the People.
EDITORS HERALD: The adjournment of
congress carries with it greater grounds
for graduation than the sending into
private life OF a set of reckless politicians
who, for party advantage, have been
willing to overthrow not only the ira
ditions OF century OF successful govern
ment, of which our people are justly
proud, but who also made combined
effort at revolutionizing our form of gov
ernment by weakening its very founda-
ton. l say combined advisedly, mas
much as the destructive measures aimed
at were not those of a single wild
schemer, anxious for notoriety, but of a
we'll arranged, compactly organized and
united party, revelling in power which
it seemed to have forgotten was dele
gated, and strangest of all, backed by a
section so pleased with the local
material interests rendered it by tariff
exactions, and icentious pension list,
that it overlooked the deep schemes, so
artfully laid, to take political power
from where it rightfully belongs, and
placing it where it could be more easily
manipulated.
1t is a cause for rejoicing that such
congress has no longer the power for
mischief which it has SO abused, but
how greater should be our pleasure at
finding, whenlgreat perils impend, that
true and faithful representatives of the
people, as Stewart, Jones, Teller, STAN
ford, Paddock and Wolcott can be found,
brave enough to say to their own party,
"We cannot help you to lay violent
hands upon the very basis of free gov
ernment," the right of the people to
choose who shall make their laws, and
what those laws shall be, without the
interference of the military power.
But this is not all, nor the best cause
for rejoicing; the people themselves
have taken alarm at the usurpations OF
the Republican party, and by their &C
ton have shown that while those
possessed of millions may corrupt legis-
latures and buy seats in the senate,
they can be trusted with the choice OF
their representatives in congress, and
have said, in tones not to be mistaken,
this is our government, made by us and
for us and our children; and it will re-
joice the heart of one who has voted for
fourteen presidents if this awakening
shall open the eyes of many Republicans
who have blindly followed their leaders,
without giving their measures such
careful consideration as they merit.
