CITY AND COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER.
FRIDAY NOV. 13, 1574.
OK the city assessment roll, amount
ing to 115,800, the officers have col
lected $35,808— over three-fourths of
the total amount. Nearly the entire
taxes on real estate will be collected.
A considerable sum due on personal
property will be delinquent. The City
Water Company's taxes are in the
neighborhood of $450, which will be
delinquent, as that corporation lias
uniformly refused to pay taxes. They
pay the city 9 WQ per annum, for which
they claim an exemption from taxa
tion. It will be seen that the city
would be the gainer if she gave them
the bonus aud required the payment
of their taxes.
Tiik Evening Express, while pre
tending to point out the causes which
prevent many people from taking up
their residence in this city, carefully
avoids mentioning that it prevented
many families coming here by pub
lishing a false statement to the effect
that the searletina was an epidemic
in this city. Our little cotemporary
may find another and very powerful
reason why respectable families
cannot live in certain localities In
this city, by reading a communica
tion under the head of "The Mayor
ally" in another column of this morn
ing's HERALD. The city cannot afford
to indulge the peculiarities of her Ti k
eaniks, when through them an en
forcement of the law- is withheld ami
in consequence a "festering nuisance"
maintained.
THB readers of the HERALD will re
member that when the proposition
was under consideration iv the Coun
cil to pay the City Assessor $700 more
than the amount of his annual salary
as fixed by ordinance, Mr. Heaudky
opposed the motion on the ground that
it would be better that the pay
ment of this extra sum be de
ferred until it was known that the
City Assessor had faithfully performed
his duty. His suggestion did not meet
the approval of the majority of the
Council, and the extra $700 was paid
before a sufficient time had elapsed to
determine whether the assessment had
been faithfully or imperfectly per
formed. The wisdom of Mr. Beau
dkv's suggestion is now apparent. The
minutes of the City Clerk show that
already twenty-three persons have
called to pay their taxes against whom
the Assessor's books show no assess
ment.
About Assessment.
The Express devotes an unusual
amount of time and space to com
ments on the circumstance that high
land lots which Mr. Beaudry now
holds at $200 each were assessed at §40.
We have shown that the enhanced
value of the property in question is
due to the fact that the Supreme Court
lias decided that such a tiling as an
exclusive franchise, or the right to
supply water, gas, or anything within
a specified limit cannot exist, and that
the property is now supplied with
water. But there is one other point
to which we wish to call the attention
of the Express, which is that as late
as March of this year Mr. Beaidhy
purchased a number of these lots from
Mr. Mott —a gentleman far too
shrewd to sell them for less than
what be supposed would lie their value
without water —at prices not exceed
ing §21 each. Yet a short time after
und before the special water franchise
melted into thin air, those lots were
assessed at $40 apiece. In regard to
the charge that Mr. Beai'DßY re
quested that some portions of his as
sessment be reduced, wo may say
that the facts seem to warrant his
doiug-so, or else justify the Board of
Equalization in raising the assess
ment of others, as property below the
level of a ditch is assessed at $20 per
acre, while land owned by Mr. Bkau
dky lying three-fourths of a mile
further from the heart ofthe city and
Without water is assessed at $.">0 per
acre. Portions of the plat assessed at
$20 per acre have lately sold at the
rate of $1,000 per acre, while Mr.
Bt:a nm c<>uld not sel 1 that assessed at
$. r >o per acre for one-fourth that amount.
I f the Express will take the trouble to
examine the list it will rind that there
is a large amount of property in the
city of much greater value than that
owned by Mr. Beaudry assessed at a
smaller figure than his.
What Does it Signify.
This great political revolution has
come upon us like a whirlwind. But
from whence it came and whither it is
going we know not. Every man you
meet can give you a reason for tins
great political change, Which is con
clusive, jn his estimation, but ofthe
hundreds we have listened to, no two
agree. We do not believe it is the
popularity of one party,nor the unpop
ularity of tho other party that caused
the change. To sum it up in a few
• words, it is just this: " We .are tired
of what we had, and we want some
thing else." That is all there is of it.
We want a change and knowing we
could not be damaged by any change
that, could be made, we shut our eyes
and bolted it down, like the old Con
federate soldiers used to bolt their
tough beef. They did it because there
was nothing better. If the Demo
cratic party acts upon the supposition
that the popularity of their party
caused tiie change, tho victory will be
fruitless. No, it was not that; the
people are opposed and they know it,
and this chanpo came upen the hame
piinciplc that :i drowning mtlß "ill
catch at a straw, and the result will ho
the fame; cither the party will be sub
merged and go to the bottom, Of they
must prOT* hy their acta that they
have sufficient buoyancy to hold a
sinking country ahovc the tremendous
waves and surges of this political con
test. "We have hopes for the best, but
our hopes are mingled with fears.
That the people generally will be
greatly disappointed we have no doubt,
and if this disappointment causes a
reaction, our last state will be worse
than the first. The people have been
greatly oppressed by tho burden <>f
high taxes, nnd they are quite satis
lied in their own minds that taxation
will be very lisht in the future, per
haps not greater than it was before
the war. To contrast the taxes we
pay now, with the taxes paid when
the Democratic party was in power,
lias been the great hobby of political
demagogues. This was, perhaps the
most effective argument before the
masses, and if this does not prove to
be a boomerang to the party in 1870
we shall be agreeably disappointed.
The reaction is what we have to
dread. The parties and the people are
all demoralized, and in such a state l
revolutions are quick nnd overwhelm
ing. The people are rest less under the
heavy, galling yoke of taxation and
are ready to throw it off upon any
terms. Yes, " any terms." They will
vote for any party that agrees Mo lift
this burden from them, but woe bo to
that party that promises nnd fails t<>
redeem its promises. That, taxa
tion can be greatly reduced In
judicious legislation,we have nodoubt.
hut that taxation can be immediately
reduced jto anything near what it was
previous to 1860 is preposterous. The
expenses of the Government must of
necessity he greater now than then;
besides the national debt and annual
interest must be met. But that tax
ation can be reduced and corruption
ists kicked out of office can nnd ought
to be done; but have we the men to
doit? That is the question. Our old
statesmen that used to stand at the
helm and guide the old ship are all
gone or retired and their places are
filled by men brought to the surface
through accident, without qualifica
tion or merit. The most critical ex
amination of all the addresses and doc
uments emanating from Congressmen
and Legislators for the past ten years
would fail to exhibit one man who has
risen above party prejudices and pre
sented a broad view of the whole coun
try and the wants of all the people.
The school in which our modern
statesmen have been educated unfits
them for such broad views. The best
of them are nothing but political crit
ics. They have been trained to detect
the faults of their opponents more than
to look at the great wants of the na
tion. Place-hunters and demagogues
have been fighting for power, and
statesmen are not made out of such
material. Ileal statesmen, who know
the responsibility of positiou, assume
control with great trepidation. States
men do not grow up like mushrooms;
it requires a lifetime to make a states
man. WEBSTER, Clay and Calhoun
spent a lifetime in the study of the
great problem, and with them timid
ity increased with wisdom. Some are
ready to ask if we have any such men
left. Yes; but they are not office
seekers. The office must seek them.
If any such have been brought out in
this great revolution, they will make
their mark in Congress. The field is
now open for the greatest and most
successful statesmanship; but the peo
ple should not expect too much. It
will require time and great skill to
uutangle the skein. Besides, the ma
jority of Congress are new men, and if
they are as wise as Moses and as hon
est as Samuel they must have time to
understand the situation before they
can accomplish anything for our re*
lief. Let us not expect too much.
THE MAYORALTY—No. 1.
11l the list of candidates now before
the people of Los Angeles city for the
office of Mayor, there is one upon
whose record as a public officer it
would be prudent for all, and especial
ly the moral and law-supporting por
tion of the inhabitants of this city to
ponder and carefully consider before
aiding, assisting or passively assent
ing to his election. This candidate
was lately foreman of a Grand Jury
of Los Angeles county.
hy scrutinizing the actions of that
Grand Jury, the people of this city
may be able to form ;i judgment of
the respect which this candidate has
for the laws under which they live,
his regard for the sanctity and obliga
tions of an oath freely and voluntarily
taken, and therefrom reach a fair and
safe conclusion of the course which
would lie pursued by him in the event
of his becoming the chief magistrate
of this city.
In the staute book of this .State tho
following may be found: " Every per
son who keeps a house of ill-fame in
this State, resorted to for the purpose
of prostitution or lewdness; or who
wilfully resides in such house, or any
house for the purpose of assignation or
prostitution, or any house of public
resort by which the peace, comfort or
decency of the immediate neighbor
hood is habitually disturbed, or who
keeps any inn in a disorderly manner;
and every person who rents any apart
ment or tenement, knowing that it is
to be used for the purpose of assigna
tion or prostitution, is guilty of a mis
demeanor."
On the 22d of October of this year
the Grand Jury above referred to made
their final report, signed by their
Foreman, who had taken an oath ad
in'nl itßtX'il 10 liim in cju-is Court, < \
which the'Toi'.owimr is a part: " Yon,
as Foreman <>f the Grand Jury, will,
diligently impure into all public of
fenses nguinst the people of this Stale,
committed °r trlabm within this
county. You will present no person
through malice, hutted or ill-will, nor
leave any unpresentofl through fear,
favor or allVetlon, <>r for any reward
or hope thereof —so help you poo."
Tn thr.t report the following will be
found: "With regard t<> the existence
ol* houacs of prostitution, to which
the ttttention of the Oram! Jury was
directed, we would state that as no
case ofthe kind was presented for our
examination and none known to US
personally, we could take no action in
the matter."
In another section of the statute
will be found the following: " If a
member of the ('rand Jury knows or
has reason to believe thai :t public of
fense triable iv Ibis county has been
committed] he must declare the same
to Ids fellow-Jurors, who must there
upon investigate the s;unr."
In tlte report of the ('rand Jury the
Pore man admits that his at lent ion, as
ti (irand Jut or, had been directed to
the existence of houses of prostitution
in this county, and yet, as a member
of that ('rand Jury, with the law
making it his imperative duty to in
vestigate the matter, he deliberately
jH'tis and allixes bis signature b> a re
port upon one of the most serious
evils that affiiet society, in which,
notwithstanding the solemn oath üb
derwhich he rested, levity, prudery
and all'ia-tat ion ate Biosl extraordina
rily blended.
Having sworn to diligently inquire
into and investigatea'lipiiblieoffenses
of which he had any knowledge or
reason to believe had an existence, he
not only neglects the performance of
his duty, but, as If ill a spirit of wan
tonness, lie tolls those citizens whose
neighborhood is so contaminated by
the public display oftrrts very offense
that they are being compelled, for the
safety of their children to abandon
their'homes, that as a case of prosti
tution was not before tlte (Irand Jury
for their personal observation, and as
they, the pure souls, had never been
personally cOgßitaMt of such an act,
they were under no obligations to take
any act lot) in the matter.
This Grand Jury, by their Foreman,
are made to" declare that all tho busi
ness presented to them had been dis
patched, and this Foreman, under the
responsibility of a solemn oath, asserts
that he had no reason to believe there
was within the borders of this county
such a thing as a house of prostitu
tion, while every moderately well in
formed inhabitant knows that In some
parts of this city their unblushing
publicity is so great and insufferable
as to drive from those parts the fami
lies of decent citizens whose repeated
complaintstP tiie Grand Jury have
tailed to procure relief.
This Foreman of the Grand Jury
who now seeks to become the chief
magistrate of this city ami its first ex
ecutive officer, unabashed by this dec
laration of innocence and In the lace
of his statement made under oath that
he had no reason to believe there was
in the county a house of ill-fame or
public resort by which the peace,
comfort or decency of the immediate
neighborhood was habitually dis
turbed, does most effectually stultify
himself in the same paragraph by
calling the attention of the municipal
authorities to the subject and roeom
nieudiug those authorities to immedi
ately suppress those houses of prosti
tution and to imprison their inmates.
It would not lie alleged by the Fore
man, if he was so inclined, that at the
time of signing.and handing that re
port to the Court, he was ignorant of
the existence of many houses of pros
titution within the county, because a
confession of ignorance so great would
prove conclusively his incompetency
for the otlice of Mayor. If on the con
trary he knew or had reason to be
lieve that there was one house of this
class within the county and failed lo
diligently inquire into the facts, he
committed as wilful perjury, although
less in degree as he who goes into
Court and deliberately swears that a
person accused hits committed a crime
when he knows the accused is inno
cent.
Again: if he had said truthfully
that he had no reason to believe there
was such a house in the county, lie
would not in tho same breath have
called the attention of the city author
ities to the matter. By thus sailing
upon the city authorities, faithless
ness to sworn duty is acknowledged,
together with a brazenness of self
stultifying seldom witnessed.

CHICAGO, November 10th.—A New
York special gives a report of tin in
terview wilh Vice-President Wilson.
He ditl not consider that the result of
the election thorough or permanent
revolution in public opinion, or that
this result foreshadowed the conclu
sion of the next President ial cam
paign. Put! the Republican party, to
regain what it has lost, ho said, must
adopt a wise, liberal and high-toned
policy, It must crowd its ranks with
all the worthy elements it can secure,
and must bo careful not to atleftlate
any good men from the party. The
result of the elections has shown the
necessity ofa magnamimoUf and lib
eral policy. It shews that the Repub
lican leader mast be a statesman. The
need of the time is a si atesman. With
a proper policy, and with the best
men of the party at the front, I think,
said Mr. Wilson, that the Republicans
can in two years carry every one ofthe
old free Stales, and some of the old
slave States. It is probable that the
republicans will be strengthened and
helped by the policy which the Demo
crats will pursue after their accession
to power, The history of. the Demo
cratic potty for the last twenty
years lias been a series of blunders. It
iias hardly drawn a breath in that
time which was not a blunder. The
Republicans have cont rolled Congress
for sixteen successive years -a longer
time than any party has hail the con
trol since 1829. Tho Democrats will
Ami it no easy task to conduct a flairs
to the satisfaction of the country, and
that if is a much harder labor than to
find fault with the Republican method
of administration. 1 find no reason
to think t htit their course will contrast
favorably with that of the Republi
cans. 1 don't know what financial
policy they will pursue, but the
heresy of hard money don't appear to
have gained anything in these elec
tions.
