CITY AND COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER. THURSDAY, FEB. 4, 1875. Cheering Prospects. The prospects of the Los Angeles aud Independence Railroad are rapidly brightening, and the list of subscrib ers to the stock is lengthening daily. As our citizens realize the importance of this road, its great advantage to the valley aud the numerous benefits which will result from it, they become enthusiastic in its support and promptly place their names on the subscription books. We are assured by the canvassers that the stock is much easier disposed of now than ten days or even one week ago. This is encouraging, and leads us to hope that the requisite amount of stock —$300,- --000—will be taken within the next few weeks and the certain building of the road rendered an established fact. The inevitable fact that unless the Los Angeles and Independence Railroad is built, we ahall lose the greater por tion of ourinterior trade should impel every citizen of Los Angeles valley to encourage and assist the work to the utmost extent. If we fail to build this road within less than one year from to-day, not a pound of freight either to or from the mines of Inyo county will be shipped by way of Los Angeles, and we shall lose our entire trade with these mines. This is a fact that must be looked square in the face. It is railroad or no trade. We must build the road. John Swett. The Petaluma Argus suggests John Swett as a candidate for State Super intendent of Public Schools, and pro ceeds to eulogize little John as a man whom nature designed for a model Superintendent. It wont do. All the whitewash in the State will not cover over the black marks which the people have scored against little John. He is a scheming little fellow,whom book rings know how to use. He is a par tizan of the narrowest, bitterest and most illiberal character. He compiled a text book made up of tbe most in cendiary and dissension-breeding arti cles that could be collected against the South and the Southern people. He was assistant compiler aud is part owner of Swinton's series of school books, which he is eternally trying to force into the public schools. He was the author of the bill introduced in the Legislature to reduce the salaries of lady teachers. He was the instigator, if not the actual author, of many of the malicious personal attacks made on Rev. O. P. Fitzgerald during the campaign which ended with the elec tion of Mr. Bolandek, and he is by nature and inclination a double-deal ing, intriguing little politician. John wont do. He ls so unpopular in Sau Francisco that Widber was defeated solely because he had John Swett for his deputy. A Little Pinch. There was a little pinch in Sau Francisco the ether day. Btocks went down with a crash, aud we are told tliat many people of small means fell from the apex of fortune to the abyss of poverty. Under the excitement created by the discovery of the great bonanza, laboring men and women in vested their earnings in stocks aud lost in an hour what years of toil had accumulated. Vast misery will come of this. Despondency, then despair, will seize these unfortunates, und the insane asylum and the drunkard's grave will hide many of them from the eyes of the world. Gambling of any kind is dangerous to people of small fortunes, and no kind of gam bling is so dangerous to this class as stock gambling. The demand for more "mud," which means an increase of the percentage paid on stock, is always an ominous and generally a fatal blow to the hopes of one who has invested his little all in mining stocks. He cannot meet the demaud, and is sold out. We remember reading in the Post that the millions made in the advance in California and Consoli dated Virginia were made without loss to anyone; that it was the simple re sult of the •nhanced value of the stock. But waa thin advance au illus tration of the permanent value of these two mines? The little pinch the other day seems to us an indica tion that the ultimate answer must be in the negative. There will come other and more disastrous pinches, and there will be bluer days than any yet seen on California street. In the early days of the rebellion a*man named Grid ley conceived the idea of selling a sack of flour at auction for the benefit of the Sanitary Fund. That sack of flour, worth one dollar and seventy - five cents, was sold and resold until it net ted the fund about thirty thousand dollars. The money was devoted to a noble cause, but will anyone deny that In a business point of view twenty nine thousand nine hundred and nine ty-eight dollars aud twenty-live cents of that money was lost? At no time was that sack of flour worth more than one dollar and seventy-live cents as a sack of flour. Now will the Post or any other stock organ of San Francisco assert that California, which eight months ago was dull sale at forty dol lars per share aud has now been thrown up to seven hundred dollars per share, is worth the money. People buy stock to make money. Will California for any length of time pay dividends equal to one per cent, on its stock sold at Beven hundred per share? People who purchased California at forty and sold It foi seven hundred made money— these are the people whom the Post says niado the money that nobody lost. But the people who pur chased California at seven hun dred and have it ou hand when it is discovered that the mine will only pay interest divi dends on its stock at forty dollars, will lose money—these aro the people who will lose the money that some body has made, and these are the people to whose bad luck the Post will not call attentiou. The real value of Califor nia is nearer forty dollars than seven hundred dollars per share to-day, and sooner or later it must drop from its stock board ficticious valuation to its real worth as a mine. In the slide down the scale the money made must be lost. The un fortunate feature of tlie transaction is that those who have made the money will not be the ones to lose it. Cali fornia will doubtless yield immense wealth but it is impossible that it will pay interest for any considerable length of time on the money for which its stock has been sold. If it cannot do this, money must be lost. If it could do this iv place of waver ing at seven hundred the stock would go upward until it reached two thou sand. No one need flatter themselves that all these millions have been coined out of nothing nor yet out of the great bonanza. Into the crucible has been thrown the toil, honor and life of thousands. The compound was the philosopher's stone that converted nothiug into bright yellow gold, but it is gold stained with the widow's tear and blighted with the orphan's curse —in its sharp ring may be heard the maniac's shriek. Congressman Luttrell. It is the custom of those journals owned by or under tlie influence of the Central Pacific Railroad Company, to abuse Congressman Luttrell witli all the vim and earnestness of em ployes who felt thatcontinued employ ment depended on earning their money. It is noticeable tliat these worthies never attempt a defense of railroad aggressions which he points out and opposes, but they fill whole columns with denunciations of Lut trell, in which we are assured that he is the sworn foe of the railroad company; that he was elected as their enemy, and that he is a knave and an imbecile. To what extent he is any of these characters, his record will tell. The railroad company know well the art of capturing knaves, great and small, yet they have not induced Lut trell to abandon the people or betray their rights. If he is the fool we hear him denounced, the railroad company and their organs are wasting a great amount of powder on small game. If he is the unreasonable and inconsis tent enomy of the railroad company he is represented to be, why do they not meet aud vanquish him '? The truth is that Luitrkll is neither a knave nor a fool, nor is he the oppo nent of the railroad company, except at such times as the railroad company place themselves iv antagonism with the best interests of the people. Ho is always ready to do battle in defense of all California, and as an evidence that he is now doing good service for the people of Los Angeles, we make the following extracts from a letter received from him by a gentleman of this city yesterday: U. S. House of Repkesk-ntatives, 1 Wastiington, January 'i% 1875./ DeahSir: Yours received this a. m.; glad to hear from you. I had anticipated the wants and Interest of the tax-payers of Los Angeles, and entered my protest against the passage of the "Houghton MIL" Asthe bill now stands it seem* to huve several objects in view, viz: Ist. To change the route of the (Southern Pa cific road so us to pass up the Salinas valley and head off the people's narrow gauge road and still retain the subsidy or grant of land through Htanisluus, Fresno, Tulare and Kern counties. 2d. To retuin and build a line about 100 miles to the East of Los Angeles; building a branch line from the main line to I air Angeles, said branch line to be built at the rate of 20 miles per annum, or by the close ofthe year 1885. 3d. To socure the exclusive right of way through Cajon Pass, to tne exclusion of or cutting off all competition or right of way to other roads through said Pass. 4th. To secure the right to build tho west cud of the Texas or Southern Pacific road, from tho Pacific Ocean to some point in East ern Arizona or Western New Mexico, so as to enable Stanford A Co. to dictate to Scott A Co., building tiie Southern Pacific road ou such terms as Stanford may Impose—/. c, to regu late freights and fares.

In haste your friend, J. K. LUTTKELI.. Petroleum Gas. The Common Council have under consideration a proposition to light the streets of this city witli gas. The company making tlie offer is a new one and their plan is also new. Tlie prop osition to the Council is, we are told, very liberal, and the trial may be made without loss to the tax-payers of the city. The fact that the gas of this company is manufactured from crude petroleum and that we have thousands of barrels of tills article running to waste in the San Fernan do mountains makes the consideration of this plan one of importance to our people. The town of Santa Clara is now lighted with gas generated from petroleum and the Echo of that place says of it: "It is giviyg universal sat isfation to its patrons, and we do not hesitate for a moment to recommend the public generally to use it in prefer ence to any other light. It is more brilliant, but less dazzling to the eyes —the best light to read by—can be used without the slightest danger, and in the long run is the cheapest,as well \as the best light tliat can be afforded. Tho company will furnish their gas at tlie reasonable price of five dollars iter thousand feet;" A San Jose Mercury reporter witnessed atrial of the dif ferent gases and says: "The gases were turned through Oumeroui kinds of burners, and lighted in every possi ble way calculated to show a differ ence between them, the petroleum in every instance producing tlie clearest and most brilliant light. That there should be such a marked difference in the illumination seems almost incred ible, but those who doubt the state* meut can examine for themselves." This trial was witnessed by the Mayor and Councilmeu of Jan Jose aud all were highly pleased with the petro leum gas. A Sensation. Louisvillk, January 31st. — The book, for which a reward of £1,000 was offered by (ialboume, of London, re lating to the members of the Royal family of England, has been discov ered in possession of a gentleman here. The book, whiih is in two volumes, was received iv this city in 1873 by a book-dealer named Taylor, and was supposed to have been put by mistake in a case of books ordered from Lon don. They were afterward purchased by the present owner. The book is a memorial of George IV., containing a minute history of all the scandalous passages of his life. Among other matters, the fact of the marriage of King George to Airs. Fitzherbert is proven by letters and documents taken from the royal archives. It also testi fies that a child was born to Mrs. Fitzherbert, while in lawful wedlock. Grant's Louisiana Policy to be En dorsed by the Senate. Washington, February Ist.—The Republican Senators have agreed in caucus to a resolution endorsing the course of the President with reference to affairs in Louisiana and recognizing Kellogg as de facto Governor of the State. A resolution embracing these declarations will be offered and un doubtedly passed during the week. The Senate will not commit itself to an avowal that the Kellogg govern ment is the de jure government of Louisiana, ami while many, and per haps a majority, believe with the Pres ident, tliat Kellogg has more right than McEnery to be Governor of the State, they are not willing, upon the evidence, to say so. Pinchback's Prospects Waning. Washington, February Ist. —It seems altogether unlikely that Pinch back will obtain a seat in the .Senate in any event. He has not in any of the caucuses received a majority of the Republicans in the Senate, though he did obtain a majority of those present. It is known that some of those who voted for Pinchback in the caucus did so very reluctantly, and he would prob ably not get in the full Senate more than twenty or twenty-five votes, at the extreme limit. The talk in the caucus was very plain, and it was made clear that many Senators re garded him as a very unfit person to be a member of the Senate, aud if he was admitted immediate action would be taken looking to his expulsion. Tbe Committee on Privileges and Elections may make a favorable report on his credentials, but action is not likely to be pressed at present, if at all this ses sion. Tom Scott's Railroad Scheme. Washington, February Ist.—The Senate Railroad Committee held an other meeting on Tom Scott's railroad bill this morning, but came to no final action on any of its features or pro posed amendments. It is understood tliat no action will be taken till after the arrival of Senator JDooley. The Bill Making Railroad Companies Liable for Damage to Stock. Carson, February Ist.—Petitions and letters are pouring in from all the stock-raising sections of the State along the line of the Central Pacific Railroad praying members of the Sen ate to pass J. P. Smith's bill, making railroad companies responsible for damage to stock, unless they fence their tracks. In one letter from a prominent stock - raiser he tells the Elko delegation—"That unless you support and pass the bill with the amendments, we will see in future that men are elected who will." —«-« Congressional News Washington, February 2d.—lt was a field day in the House. There was a long contest over the rule for the prevention of iillibustering and par liamentary delays. The rule was ado ji ted. A bill, reported favorably from the Senate Committee on Civil Service provides that for two years after the Ist of July next, all salaries exceeding $1,200 a year, in all branches of the Government service, civil aad mili tary, shall be reduced ten per cent. Tilton on the Stand. New York, February 2d.—ln the Beecher-Tilton trial, the testimony of Tilton was continued, relating to the circumstances of the interview at Moulton's liouse between himself, Moulton, Woodruff and Tracy, mak ing a great difference from the story before testified to by Moulton ami Woodruff. He testified concerning several other interviews and to tbe agreement between liimself, wife and Beecher to deny the scandal. Efforts to Effect a Compromise in New Orleans New Orleans, January 31st.—Gov. Kellogg and Marshall Packard, repre senting the Republican party, aud Messrs. Leonard and Jeffries on behalf of the Democrats, met to-night to ar range the terms of a proposed compro mise. Mr. Fry, of tlie Congressional Committee, was present during the consultation. One proposition was that Kellogg be recognized as Gover nor and Perm as Lieutenant-Governor; such recognition, however, would in volve au investigation into the elec tion of 1872, and the Committee re fuses to touch upon that point. In addition to this, it may be mentioned that the negro element in tlie Repub lican party will not agree to any set tlement by which Antoine, the mu lotto Lieutenant-Governor, loses his seat. The consultation was continued until a late hour to-night and then ad journed till to-morrow evening. Tlio leading men of both parties are very sanguine that a compromise will bo entered into. The Louisiana Investigation. New Orleans, February aa.—me Congressional Committee to-day ex amined General Badger, Chief of Po lice, who gave the history of the 4th of September troubles, and Prosecuting Attorney Beckwith, who related the story of the Coushatta massacre No new features were elecited in either case. Sheridan Goes to Vicksburg. New Orlkans, February 2d.—Gen. Sheridan ami staff left to-day for Vieksburg. It is understood tliat he will not return here, but that the headquarters of the department of Missouri will be re-established at Chi cago. The China Emperor Dies and the China Empress Suicides. London, February 2d.—A private telegram from China confirms the re ported death ofthe Emperor, nnd says that the Kmpress, overcome with grief, killed herself. A son of the seventh Prince, three years old, was proclaimed Kmperor and the Kmpress' mother was declared Regent. The Union and Central Pacific Rail road Junction. Salt Lake, January 30th. — Suits have been commenced in the District Opart by the Union and Central Paci ni Railroad Companies for the •00 --demnation of 200 acres of land owned by settlers nt Ogden for use in building tlie grand junction and shop of the works.
