The Daily HERALD of this morning
is twelve page edition containing
seventy-six columns of matter. The
contents are complete history of Los
Angeles county with concise report
of her various Industries, together
with an impartial description of her
soil and climate. We have endeav-
ored to give fair account of every
town and village in the valley and to
place on record an unprecedented state
ment OF the progress and improvement
in every direction and of every kind
during the year just closed. The Ia
Dor of preparing and placing this im-
mense fund of information in the
hands of our readers has cost the HER
AID Publishing Company some five
hundred dollars for which they expect
no other remuneration than q recog-
milton of their earnest efforts to dis
seminate plain, unvarnished truths
concerning the garden spot of the Pa
cific Coast-Los Angeles valley. The
last years first of January HERALD
was an epitome of Southern California
intelligence. 1t was scattered through
out the East and many copies found
their way to Europe. We have the
authority of the new comers them
selves for saying the information con-
tanned in these columns induced hun
dreds to seek and build their homes
in this valley. The paper of this
morning re-asserts the facts of one
year ago, and adds a complete record
of our progress and improvement dur
ing that period.

HOW THEY USE THE NEGRO.


There is something very peculiar
about the extreme devotion of the
Republicans for the negro. They
claim, and have the negro believe,
that their love for him is unbounded,
and that he is, entitled to, all the
rights and privileges that the whites
are entitled to. Yet, when he, pre-
sumes to act upon this principle,
without first consulting and gaining
the. consent Of those who tell him
that he is q free man, and has q
right to act as such, he is snubbed-
his rights as a freeman are treated
with contemplate is called Dem
ocratic negro, and his own race are
under such control by the Ring-mas-

masters.


He has been a freeman for thir-
teen years. aud yet he does not
seem to-l1now that he is freeman.
He does not vote as freeman. He
has a guard placed over him at such
election whose duty it will be to ex-
anime his ticket. and if it is not
such as his masters desire. to punish
such, and see that he votes it. He
is used as a tool or slave. even in a
Republican torchlight procession,
and his masters-the upper-tens of
his party-no more associate with
or assist him in these little exercises
than his master of old would have
done, in plowing the corn. If q
heavy pole is to be raised, or man
uaI labor OF any sort to be perform
ed, for nothing, the negro must do
it, while his master dictates how it
must be done. IF lusty cheering is
to be done at a political speaking,
he is notified of the fact, and at a
given sign he does it, and seems sat
isfed with his position-because, for
these services he is called q good

An exciting time was that on the oc-
casion of the burning of the school ship
Goliah with four hundred boys on board,
in the river Thames. 1t is said that q
lamp was accidentally dropped by lad,
and the petroleum ignited and spread
in liquid fire all over the deck. The
alarm was instantly given, but SO rapid
was the spread of the fire that when
Captain Bourchier, royal navy, the
officer in command, was called from his
cabin, the whole deck was in flames. A
terrible scene ensned. The Mortified
children rushed up from below through


the various hatchways, which were with
difficulty kept from being choked up by
the crush and struggle, and as fast as
they got on deck they hurried to the
side of the ship nearest land as the point
of escape. Unfortunately it was the
most dangerous side of the ship, for a
strong southwesterly wind was blowing
full upon her broadside and rolled the
smoke and flame over in the direction of
the shore. Tho poor lads, however,


climbed over the bulwarks and hung in
the chains and wherever they could get
hold for hand or foot, and the boats of
the ship being instantly at hand, pro-
ceeded to take them off as fast as posi-
bic. One OF more were swamped, and
as many of the lads clinging to the ship
were compelled to drop one after an
other into the water there was ample oc-
cupation for the other boats which came
to the rescue to pick up those who were
swimming or drowning. The ship lay
only about hundred yards from shore,
and good many leaped overheard and
swan to land, amongst whom were two
young ladies, the daughters of Captain
Bourchier. The boats of the training
ships, lying at Greenhithe, came down,
and were instrumental in saving many
lives. Captain Bourehier was the last
to leave the burning ship, and it was
his belief that all the lads were saved,
but there is too much reason to know
that he was mistaken, for two bodies
have already been washed ashore, and
the schoolmaster is said to be missing.
