£0$ iMtgettti Scrald. WEDNESDAY... MARCH 16,1882. It ia scarcely six weeks since tbe i editor of tbe Herald had a con. vernation with Mr. H. M. New hall. He eeemed then to be in at least a fair state of health, and spoke moat hopefully of the flue cop of wheat ha waa about to bar vt-st on bia thirty tbouaaud acre ranch in tbe neighborhood of New ball atatlou. He pooh-poehed tbe idea of a bad season, aud had evi dently little idea that the great harvester, Death, was about to gather him in. He was a man of marked individuality and 'great force of oharaeter, and had accuna alated a fortune in the auction bus iness, a large portion of which he invested in this county. His death will he generally regretted. Men of bis hopeful, self-helping spirit aud enterprise can ill be spared in a region which, like Los Angeles oounty, is but in the initial of its development. Los Angeles couuty, through out her length and breadth, has taken on vernal robes. The lush grasses, tbe luxuriant malva, the vigorous and healthy looking grain fields, all show that the sea son, though late, will be a special ly abundant one. Mr. D. Free- Ban Informs us tbat the lauds dowu towards the ocean are cover ed with grain in eplendid condi tion. Wo hear tbe same story from all sections. The prospects for a fair yield of graiu were never better than now, and the chances point largely towards an unusual crop. There are uot wanting ■umbers of old lime residents of this county wbo say tbat the prob abilities are great tbat the yield of the cereals will this year be of a remarkably gratifying character, both in quantity and quality. This io a most exhilarating state of things, and contrasts very pleas antly with the mood of despond ency and gloom which hovered over cur grangers a montn ago. We claim, at all times, tbe rigbt te comment upon official proceed ings. We bad long been aware that there were allegations of crookednesses in tbe office of tbe County Recorder; but, until tbe Grand Jury bad put tbem in tbe shape of au official accusation, we made no allusion to the rumored Charges. We decline to allow our youthful contemporary, the Times, to restrict the legitimate field of journalism. The Herald is epe* eially careful to exclude from its columns anything like personal malevolence. At a time when tbe oity fuuds were disappearing like oaew beneath the sun at its high noon intensity, we dealt very lightly, indeed, in personalities. Mr. Lamb's trial has been fixed for tbe 25th of March. Whatever ■ball be its outoome, he will re ceive tbe full benefit of it in these columns. We are luclined to think tbat the circumstances of his case are such tbat a conviction is very unlikely to follow his trial. Yet a public official should not only be pure but above suspicion, and he should never commend his official vindication, by unauthor ized or equivocal aols, to the un certain caprices of a jury. Mr. Lamb's career will always remain tainted by tbe formal accusation of a Grand Jury notable for tbo per sonal worth and character of its members, from its foreman down. The Herald, a 9 a Democratlo journal, has a rigbt te point to tbe faot that tbe l%uocrat io officials of this oounty have bsen character ised by au exceptional integrity and efficiency. There is a whole some stimulus to official* of all grades in the knowledge of tbe fact that the community keepa track of tbeir conduct, and will reward or punieb, as tbe facts of tbeir official careers shall call for tho one or the other. Tbe Herald does not wish to be understood as taking the absurd position that a given Democrat, taken at random, le bet ter than a given Republican, se lected by the same chance process. Nor do we assume that the average Democratic official throughout tho State is very much better than his Republican brother. But we have tbe right, botb as a jour nalist and the conductor of a party newspaper, when our own officials have been signalized by special efficiency and integrity, to accentuate that fact as broadly as ere oan. We are compelled, be sides, to recognize tbe fact that tbe Democratic idea is apt to enforoa a greater degree of responsibility te the people than Republicans ordi narily acknowledge. Tbe leaders •f that party have so long been ac customed to disbursing enormous •ami In a lavish manner, they have so habituated themselves to the idea that tbey rule by a sort of right divine, that tbe vicious im pulse of plunder reacbee all tbe way down from tbe national capi tal to tbe most remote tewnahip. Los Angelee is and has beeu bappy In tbo possession of Democratlo of ficials who recognise a strict ac countability to their masters. Waiving all inquiry as to who ■aay have originally enacted the Sunday law, we think it will be ••needed that there is no organized odeanent la the Democratic party Which seeks to enforce ito ex ecu- { Mm Probably any sporting man la California weald bo willing to bat dollars to canta that, of those wbo will make themselves promi nent iv try lug to enforce tbis ob solete statute, there will be fifty men who have not voted for a Democratic candidate for Presi dent, in the lest tweuty years, to one wbo bas so voted. If, as our esteemed contemporary, the Com mercial, suggests, tbis law was en acted by a Democratic Legislature of California, it must bave been sprung upon tbat body, by some vigilant Republican teetotaler, at a time when a special range and brilliancy of festivities bad, fer the nouce, obfuscated tbe Demo cratic Legislative intellect. It probably passed by default, aud tbe fact that no ssrious attempt te make it operative bae been made until tbe sumptuary law element had become strong in California shows tbat the Democrats repu diated tbe measure. As for the Supreme Cour-, which happens to be partially Democratic, a judge can be excused for allowing his in dividual conscience to be his mon itor, just as the voters can be ex oused for only electing thoee judges whose habitudes and known opinions give conclusive evidence tbat tbey will lean to the letter aud spirit ef tbe present con etitutien in adjudicating on tbis question. It is too late for our con temporary, after quoting Petro leum V. Nasby, year iv and year out, te attempt to array tbe Dem ocratic party against free whisky and free lager. The Heralb, lv saying tbat the Demooratio party haa alwaye been against sumptu ary lawe, epeaks perfectly by tbe card. No unverified allegation of our contemporary that tbe Sunday law was enacted into life by a Democratic Legislature can he al lowed to ceuatervail tbe whole history of the party, from Its ori gin to the present day. We doubt very ruuoh the truth of tbis aver meut that Democrats enacted tbis law. Should it prove to be tbe fact, however, we wish to be un derstood, in sympathy with De mocracy throughout tbe whole United States, as repudiating tbat Legislature. We hope that, under no circumstances, will a sin gle one of the offenders be elected to the Legislature this year. Nay, mere, we are willing to bave the test made broadly and explicitly, that no Democrat ought to be elected tbis year who will not pledge himself agaiust sumptuary legislation of any kind, und who will not agroo to vote for tho repeal of this particular sumptuary law. Now let our opponents toe the mark. LAST NIGHT'S NEWS. [Special to the Hkbau> by tho Western Union Telegraph Company. | PACIFIC COAST. r«Mtiii|«ri MuuiU und E«ai.

He said that tbe enterprise tbey bad in view wasef great public interest, as, if thsy should succsod in establisbiag a market hers similar to tbat exist ing in Chicago it could not fail to ' benefit in many ways tbe city and State. He hoped for tbe assist ance of farmers and for tho support of the publio and exhorted tbe members to be active and ener- ( getlc ia promoting the interests of I the new Exchange.

The ohair stated that as tbe success ef tbe undertaking would depend largely upon the good will of the farmers he would prepare and issue imme diatsly to farmers aud producers of the State an address showing the advantage tbe new exchange would be to tbem and asking for tbeir assistance and co-operation.
