FRIDAY APRIL 12, 1878.
Herald Steam Printing House.
The Herald Sleain Printing House Is
not surpassed by any Job Printing oflice
on the Pacific Coast, outside of Snn Fran
cisco, In facilities for doing Job work.
Low prices, good work and expedition
may be relied upon at this office.
The Constitutional Convention.
We perfectly agree with the view
tbat, ordinarily, members of a Con
stitutional Convention should be
elected independently of politics.
We are ready to go further, and to
express our unhesitating belief that
no man should be elected to such a
body merely as a parti/an. No
Democrat, no Republican, no
Workingman, should be elected
merely as eucb. Unless the nom
inee, of whatever party, to a body
which is to frame our organic law
for years, should be found to pos
sess high character, ability and a
certain grade of activity, Demo
crat, Republican and Workingman
should give him the go-by and cast
bis ballot for some more suitable
person. But, on the presumption
tbat tbe Democratic party shall
bring forward its best men in Los
Angeles county, we regard it as
eminently fitting that it should
make regular party nominations.
In the first place, in every county
of California in which the Repub
licans have a clear field, they will
elect delegates of their own party
to the Constitutional Convention.
In overwhelmingly Democratic
counties, like Los Angeles, our
Republican friends are conciliatory
and moderate. They would be
quite willing to enter into a coal
ition with the Democracy iv which,
out of the three delegates that, by
an infamous apportionment, this
county is entitled 10, they should
receive two. They are a self-eacri
flcing set of men, aud they would
agree to allow the Democracy to
play catspaw for their benefit.
There is this feature of the Citizens'
combinations which have appeared
in different sections of California:
They pay the Workinginen's move
ment the compliment of assuming
that a union of both parties is
needed to vanquish tbe new comer.
This is a humiliating confession,
and it is a bad strategy, as well, in
our opinion.
Our reasons for this idea
are few and simple. Wheu
you have made a Citizens'
ticket you release both Dem
ocrat and Republican from every
obligation of party fealty. Both
Democrat and Republican can
simply vote as he pleases, without
doing violence to his parly stand
ing. As either the Democratic or
Republican party will infallibly
elect the next President, it is not
wise, in a Democratic county,
firstly, to relax the party standard;
and, secondly, to throw away the
solid delegation which we have
every reason to look for in this
county.
We are confronted, in addition,
ty the confident claims of anew
organization, which asserls that It
controls a majority of the votes of
Loa Angeles and of California. If
the Workingmen can outvote both
the old political parties, we are
perfectly willing to see lliem do
it. In a square, stand-up and
fcnock-down tight, we are willing
to take our chances. No temporary
political reverse can unhinge the
great and invincible Democracy.
But we do not think we shall ex
perience even this temporary de
feat, and hence we desire to see
tbe issue raised. We are entirely
willing to give the Woi kingmen's
party of this county an opportuni
ty to show the precise extent to
which they have enlisted the suf
frages of the masses.
We do uot claim any special wis
dom for our ideas of the political
situation. While we do not think
it will lead to aught but political
victory, our plan might lead to de
feat. We should at least have the
satisfaction of having preserved
our parly iutaet for the
certain victories of the fu
ture, when the fanaticisms ol
tbe moment shall have passed. If
the Workingmen shall succeed,
let them succeed. But don't let us
enter into any hollow alliances
which will emancipate our follow
ers without any guarantee of secur
ing any considerable Republican
vote.
Should be Encouraged.
Tho fruit crop iv Loa Angeles
county Ibis year promises to be
very abundant. Vegetables also
will abound on every hand. Mr. G.
B. Davis, who controls the Alden
Fruit Drying Factory, across the
river, proposes to start up his works
shortly and manufacture mir sur
plus fruit and vegetables, which
otherwise would go to waste, into a
valuable article of commerce. We
bave given careful attention to the
products of these fruit drying es
tablishments. Fruit and vegeta
ble dried by this process are so In-
comparably superior to the sun-
dried article that they arc hardly
entitled to be mentioned together
In tlie same day. When the Alden
dried fruit is cooked it has all the
relish and perfection of the original.
Mr. Davis, iv his introduction of
the Alden fruit drying process iuto
Loa Angeles, has had a very severe
Un of bad luck hitherto. Owing to
circumstance* which ho could not
control, the fruit crop since the fac
tory was established has beeu light.
The quality of the fruits turned out
by him has never been surpassed
anywhere, but the quantity attain
able in our local markets lias been
lamentably deficient. Last year,
owing to tho unprecedented mild
ness of the winter, tho deciduous
fruit crop was almost a total failure.
During the current year fruit
trees of the temperate zone varie
ties have come into bearing by the
hundred thousand. Tho cultivation
of the different vegetables suitable
for fruit drying has also made rapid
headway. This year, we are satis
fied, Mr. Davis will make a decided
pecuniary success of his enterprise,
and we are entirely of opinion that
he should be encouraged in every
way by our citizens. We hope to
live to see the day when the value
of Allien dried fruits exported from
Los Angeles county to every quar
ter of the world will yearly amount
to many millions of dollars. Aldeu
dried California fruit and vegeta
bles noed but to bp known to come
into universal use.
We are occasionally hugely I
amueed at tho insolent assump
tions of the Republicans in tbe
House of Representatives. The
attempt of Hen. Butler to
elect General Shields Doorkeeper
against the regular Democratic
nominee was magnificently ex
ploded by Heister Clymer, of Penn
sylvania. In view of the fact that
a half dozen Republican quarter
masters have stolen moro than all
the Democrats ever connected with
the national government put to
gether, the attempt to make capi
tal out of the mistakes ot a good
natured Democratic Doorkeeper
are simply ridiculous. Mr. Clymer
said: „
Tho immediate business before
the House is tho election of a
Doorkeeper. Our experience iv
the paSt baa not been fortunate,
and we are here to endeavor to re
pair past misfortunes. The gentle
man from Massachusetts would
have us elect a person of his choos
ing. I will join with bim in doing
all honor to v man who served iv
the war, was a Senator from two
States, and who In every relation
of life has performed his duties
faithfully and well. Let us ask the
gentleman who has spoken about
the pension to be grauted to Gen.
Shields, whether he knows that
within tho hist live weeks, while
the matter was pending iv the
Senate Committee, his pension was
iucreased from $30 to $50 on the
ground of proof before that com
mittee that Shields was not only
personally disabled, so that be
could uot earn a livelihood, but
that In addition he required the
services of some one to take care
of bim. Does lie uot know that
that was the ground ou which the
pension was increased ? Now, I
say to the gentleman from Massa
chusetts, that wheu that bill shall
come up I will join with him iv
granting tho request of General
Shields to make it one hundred
dollars, nnd I will go further. I
will, If the gentleman will join
me, vote for a bill to restore him to
his place on the retired list of the
army, which will give him $3000 a
year for his life. I will go further
and vote to pay him for the service
which lie would have rendered In
that Congress from which be was
turned out, though elected by a
majority of thousands, by the Re
publican party, headed by the gen
tleman from Massachusetts. [Ap
plause on the floor and in tho gal
leries.] I wish to say to the gen
tleman that I do not propose, aj a
member of Ihe majority, that he
shall dictate who shall be our offi
cers. When, in the past history of
the gentleman, has he honored n
soldier when that soldier was a
Democrat? Did not you and those
that followed you drug Mcl'lellan
in disgrace and shame from the
army? Did you not cast Hancock
Into exile? Where all along the
whole lino of glorious men who
suffered for the union cause have
you ever honored them if they
were Democrats? Never In all
your history; aud never would you
if you did not conceive that at this
hour you could drive a wedge into
the Democratic party and rend it
iv pieces.
LAST NIGHT'S NEWS.

Sail t'nsunlly nf Newport, t np<
tnlii Pierce or flic Ntemner New
port sill l iHir Men Uromieri.
Santa Ana, April 11.—This
morning Captain Pierco of the
steamer Newport, with eight men
attempted to cross the bar at New
port in two small boats. One boat
capsized, when tho other went to
its help and was also capsized.
The Captain and four men wero
drowned. No hopes of recovering
the bodies.
Capt. Pierce lost his life by try
ing to rescuo the other sailors.
Mate, Wm. Milestone, fireman,
James O'Harra, and the clerk wero
saved. The sailors names are not
known.
The More ITlntiler 111 \ eNllKiillou
Cluseil.
San Buena Ventura, April 11.
The More trial to-day came to a
close on tho part of the prosecu
tion. After the calling of several
witnesses, Swanson and Cook, two
of those implicated by Sprague and
who have been in jail for ten days,
were sworn at their own request
and succeeded in satisfying the
Court of their Innocence, whereup
on they were finally discharged.
Neither man has ever been sup
posed guilty by those best posted.
S. P. Giberson testified that he
picked up a cartridge shell near the
body of More on the night of the
murder. He identified it. It had
been previously identified by N.
Stone as corresponding precisely
with the exploded shells from
Dord's Spencer rifle. There is no
proof of another such gun in the
neighborhood. Dr. Esbel, Law
rence More, a brother of the mur
dered man, and C. A. Slorke, v
son-in-law, identified an exploded
shell found on the spot of
the killing which exactly
corresponded with the shells be
longing to Lord's pistol; also a
sh"ll from the Henry rifle used by
Hunt as testified to by Jones, the
State's evldencfa which was also
fottiul at the spot. All this evi
dence was merely circumstantial
and cumulative, tlie State having
already proved the facts sufficiently
to hold Sprague, Churchill, Joues,
Lord, Curlee, McCart, and Hunt,
Jones being (he State's evidence.
The prosecution then rested and
tho defendants usked until seven
this evening to consult, which was
granted.
Later.—At the evening session of
the court the defence declined to
[utroduce any testimony, where
upon all the prisoners were com
mitted without bail to nwait the
action of the Grand Jury, which
meets June lirst. This r. suit was
universally expected.
JuuiVh Testimony In I'tltl.
Santa Bakuaka, April 11th, —
The Santa Barbara Preu of to-night
publishes the following exclusive
account by its special reporter of
tho testimony at San Buena Ven
tura of Jesse M. Jones, the one of
the More murderers who yesterday
turned State's evidence. This is
the testimony upon which tho
prisoners will he bound over to the
Grand Jury. When Jesse M. Jones
was called from the prisoner*' row
to take his place on the witness
stand a tremor ran through the
guilty men. Jones himself trem
bletl aud shook so that he could
hardly stand ami with difficulty
gave his testimony. Churchill
heard it all with his face turned to
the wall. The others with bowed
heads heard their evil course re
traced by tho trembling lips of
their former associate. Sprague,
however, soon recovered and made
notes of tho testimony as it fell
from Jones' lips. Jones testified as
to the preliminaries, finally com
ing down to the time of meeting
back of the willows and went on:
Sprague, Churchill, McCarl, Lord,
Hunt, Curlee, and myself were
there. The others who had agreed
to meet us did not come so, at last,
Sprague said, " Let's go; we've got
force enough to get away with
him." Curlee aud McCart
camo ou foot, the rest on horse
back. At Sprague's request we
mounted our horses—Sprague,
Hunt, Lord, Curlee and myself.
We rode across the river and came
to an elder hush, lied our horses
there and went on foot to the
house. Sprague, Churchill and 1
came up behind the barn. Sprague
had a ball, I think n barley sack,
railed up anil snturated with kero
sene. He had a handful of dry
wood with a string tied around it;
he went up behind the barn and
laid the ball on the ground close to
the barn, and then put wood over it
and set it on tire. Wo then left the
barn and went around on the south
side of it; then went behind the
granary where the rest of the
crowd were. When the barn was
burning and making a loud, roar
ing noise it woke the people in the
house. Mr. More came to the door
and then ran to the barn. Sir. Fer
guson aud two or three others fol
lowed bim. 'ihey went into the
barn and commenced turning the
horses loose. The crowd ran from
behind tbe granary to tho door of
the house and then went a few
steps toward the barn. More came
out of the barn calling for a knife.
Some one shot at him. Tlie men
that were with him called to More,
"Kun or you will be killed." That
moment I would have given my
life to have been away from there.
More started and ran. As he ran
somebody shot him in the leg. I
saw him put his hand behiud him
on his hip and run as if he
was badly hurt. Mr. Sprague
and Curlee followed niter him. The
others went to tho southeast cor
ner of the corral. Churchill ran
from there to where More had
fallen. Spraguo and Curlee were
shooting at him, He was partly
lying down, lesting himself on one
hand. He put up his other hand
and said, " For Clod's sake don't
shoot any more; I am dead now,"
or words like them. He then fell
back on the ground. Churchill
had reached him by this time, and,
as I thought, shot him in the
head. It looked so from where I
stood. Sprague said, "Come on
boys, let's go." The three men
that wero beside More camo to
wards the corral where the rest of
us were standing, ou the south
side. We then started northeast
erly, going between the house and
the shop, and were getting some
what ahead of Sprague, when be
called to hold on, as he could not
travel. "If any of you start to ruu
I will shoot you." Some of the
crowd said, " Wo will stay with
you." I was ahead of the crowd at
the time. We went on as fast
as we could until we got where our
horses were. We then got on them.
Churchill and McCart went ahead
as they were afoot and wo went be
hind them so as to blot out their
tracks as much as possible. Curlee
and I had shot guns when we came
to the Cottonwood tree. I also had
a large pistol. Sprague had a shot
gun; also a Spencer carbine that
in case nuy one did not bave a gun,
he might take it. Curlee left his
shot gun at the tree ami took the
Spencer carbine. Loid hail a long
needle gun ami Churchill had a
shotgun. 1 don't remember the
kind of gun McCart had. Hunt
had a Henry ride. Don't recol
lect that Lord had a pistol, but he
almost always carried one. These
are all tbe arms I know of. Curlee
had a pocket pistol smaller than
Lord's. The Henry rifle which
Hunt had was the only Henry rifle
in the crowd, unless McCart had
one. lam positive Hunt had a
Henry rifle. Hunt shot from the
southeast corner of the corral
where we stood. Am not positive
that he shot more than once. More
got out of the corral from the north
of the barn and ran from there in a
southwesterly direction about 100
or9oo yards. Sprague and Curlee
followed him up from the north
side of the barn. Churchell ran on
the south side.
