LOCAL BREVITIES, Mr. Louis Rati elsewhere ortl-is a desirable residence to rent. The Teachers' Institute adjourn- ed line die yesterday evening. A uicoly furnished room is ou'ei- ed for rent ln our New To-Day. Under Sheriff Kays returned from a short visit to Sau Francisco by yesterday's overland train. The regular monthly meeting of the Horticultural Society will be held at Ihe Pavilion at 11 o'clock A. M. to-day. The Bsntlst Chuich, ou Spring street, will give a Sunday School Concert Sunday oveuing, begin- ning at 7 o'clock. A lady, in our New To-day, ad- vertises to give instructions in music as an equivalent for a pleas- ant room und board. We were mistaken in saying that Jailer Thompson receives seventy- flvecents aday for his boarders. He only gets forty-five cents and in \u25a0crip, at I hat, which generally sells for only ninety oeuts on the dollar. There is a dog lv Los Augeles who believes that the Chinese ought to go.

May, agent of tbe serial department of Bancroft's pub- lishing house. Mr. May lias a num- ber of new and interesting publica- tions which ha will exhibit to tho citizens of this \u25a0 ?etlou during bis visit. The new United Presbyterian Church at Santa Ana will be dedi- cated to-morrow. The Rev. M. M. Gibson, D. D. from Sau Francisco I* expected to be present us well as other able ministers from abroad. Services will bo held at 11 o'clock A. si. and 7 p. m. When we bear in mind the fact that there were only sixty-two members of the Los Angeles bar around to sign tliat memorial, we ?re forcibly impressed with the un- derorowded condition of the pro- fession of the law hereabouts. Lo* Angeles contributed the fol- lowing sums for the relief of the yellow fever sufferers: Subscrip- tions through Wells, Fargo & Co., $616 50; collected by Messrs. Work- man Uephard and Dunkelberger, $500; contributed by Western Union Telegraph employes, $303 20; two cltlzeos, $100. Total, $1519 70. We learn that the repairs to the machinery and the new derrick were completed at the Los Augeles Oil Company's well in the Sospe District two days ago. On resum- ing work it was found tliat there were 1,300 feet of oil in tho well. It I* confidently believed that as soon as the well is cleared of sediment oil will flowfreely, or that the well will be, in oil parlance, a "spouter." We oall attention to the trips* column advertisement of the Me- chauic's Store, No. 40 Main street, which appears elsewhere. This house receives every week fresh consignments of the latest styles of clothing, dry goods, etc., which, considering the extra quality of the goods, are sold cheaper than tbe cheapest. Intending purchasers should not fail to give this house a call aud, even ifthey should not buy, they will receive polite at- tention from the proprietors and at- tache*. And now comes along another critic, aud has his say about "Physician's" able article on cis- terns. As usual it is another envi- ous brother Esculaplus. He has the hardihood to say that bethinks he knows who "Physician" is, and that, if his judgment Is correct, this blasphemer of our mountain water is entitled to know very lit- tle about its properties because he always takes his'n straight. We are verily beginning to think that the medical profession, in discuss- ing each other, are giveu to all envy and uucbaritableuess. Seflor Anastasio Vargas, a Mexi- oan historical and portrait paluter of considerable eminence, has lately arrived in Lns Angeles. Ho bas already painted the portrait of Judge Carrlllo. Having inspected the "counterfeit presentment" of our old friend we are pleased to be able to pronounce it a faithful and mer- itorious portrait. When we add that the picture was painted ln nine hours those who will shortly have an opportunity of examining tbe work will agree witb vi in pro- nouncing Beflor Vargas an artist who is characterized by celerity as well as skill. Teachers' Institute?Fifth Day. CONCLUDING EXERCISES. The Institute was called to order at 9 A. il., Superintendent McDon- ald in the chair. The roll call an- nounced 82 present, 27 absent and 10 excused. The report of the Committeo ou Music was quite pleasing, as like- wise the report of tho critic. Miss Btarford, who, to say the least, was terse. Mr, Hayes' report ou queries was quite interesting and highly amus- ing. Prof. Lawlor resumed' the sub- ject of arithmetic with his usual zeal. ? The subject of history was then taken up by J. R. Brierly. His re- marks were quite happy aud de- cidedly to the point. He favored oral history; would teach moro from home topics and dwell more partic- ularly upon home features and im- press upon the pupils the general Idea* of the history of our own country. After tbe Superintendent's report of schools) and the condition of the mdm, Mr. Henderson addressed lome pointed remarks ou the sub- ject of "Morals and Manners," which were well received. By request of the Chair, Prof. Allen addressed tbe Institute on priviledged questions. He intro- duced his remarks by adding some bints on etiquette which were quite well received. Said tliat school discipline almost entirely embraced the elements of good breeding, and that there is no feature in the entire course of edu- cation of so much importance to their future welfare lv society. Great care should be taken in preparing questions; they should not be too hard nor 100 oasy. Tho average grade of an examination should be about 70 per cent., illm tratitig his reasons for the sune. He conoluded with a few valuable hints to teachers conducting exam- inations and on Bchool government generally. Tho Committee on Resolutions pre- sented their repnrl, which, on mo- tion, was accepted, and the resolu- tions set for tiie nl'tern >on session for consideration, as also such fur- ther resolutions as may be submit- ted. Adjourned until Ip. M. AFTERNOON. Re-assambled at 1 P. H , Super- intendent MoDonald in the chair. Noted 91 present, 21 absent and 7 excused. The following resolutions were adopted: Whereas, In. view of the loss we have sustained by tho death of our friend und associate N. J. Mor- gan,ami of the still heavier loss sus- tained by thoso who were nearest aud dearest to hltn; therefore be it Resolved, Tliat it is but a just tribute to the memory of the" de- ceased lo say that in regretting his removal from our midst, we mourn for oue who was in every way worthy our resnect aud regard. Resolved, That we sincerely con- dole with tho bereaved family un- der the severe affliction which Di- vine Providence has seen lit to send upon them. Resolved, That this heartfelt tes- timonial of our esteem and sympa- thy bespread upon the minutes of the Institute and a copy sent to tbe stricken family. Whereas, Section 1847 of the Political Code of California pro- vides that tho minimum amount of couuty funds that can be levied iv any one year shall be such a sum as will be equal to $3 to each census child iv the county, aud Whereas, The Hoard of Super- visors did, at their October meet- ing, deliberately refuse to comply with tbe law, when their attention had been called to It by the County Superintendent and the District Attorney, and did fix a tax levy which will not raise a sum more than sufficient to give $2 to the census child, thereby causing a de- ficit in the incoming county fund ?( Dot less than $12,000, aud through said deficit shortening the term of many of our school* from one to two mouths; therefore, be it - Rttolved, Tbat we, the teachers of Los Augeles county, in conven- tion assembled, do denounce said action of tho Board of Supervisors as illegal and an outrage upon our rights aud tbo rights of the chil- dren in our publio schools. Whereas, The State Agricultu- ral and Mechanioal College, as now located, is not fulfillingtbe evident intentions of the United States law creating such Colleges and confer- Ing grants of land on them; and Whereas, The people of South- ern California are left entirely out lv the oold, as far as any benefits from theso grants is concerned; therefore, be it Resolved, By the teachers of Los Angeles county, in Institute assem- bled, that in our opinion a branch agricultural aud mechanical school (or schools) of mechanical arts ought to be established in South- ern California, and wo recommend that tbe people of tho southern part of this State continue to agi- tate tbis subject until the demands ?re granted. Resolved, Tliat the thanks of the Institute be tendered to Superin- tendent McDonald for the able and Impartial manner In which he has presided over tbe deliberations of the same aud discharged the other duties of his office. Resolved, Tbat the sham attempts at economy made by our delegation in the last Legislature, by cutting down the salary of the Couuty Su- perintendent of Schools to such a small compensation tbat it will compel the bolder ef that office ln the future to virtually give up visiting the schools and confine himself to tbe clerical duties of the office, while at the same session of the Legislature these delegates did procure the passage of a law in- creasing the pay of county offi- cials already receiving large sala- ries, is a blow at the efficiency of our public schools and is deserving of the condemnation of every friend of. education. Resolved, Tbat the thanks of the Institute are tendered to Shotnluac Tribe, I. O. K. M., for the free use of their hall on Tuesday evening; to tbe Philharmonic Society for their pleasing entertainment Wed- nesday evening; tho Loi Angeles press tor full reports of the proceed- ings; to Professors Allen and Mann for their valuable services, and to Professor Carr aud Dr. Widney for their able lectures. Resolved, That the Institute re- spectfully request that the State Board of Education examine that part of the school Jaw which per- tains ta the powers, duties and emoluments of County School Su- perintendents, and that they sug- gest to the Legislature any amend- ments to the same they may deem necessary.

Mr. Thomas B, Jackson Found Dead at B a Room Door, Coroner Hannon yesterday held an inquest on the body of Mr. Thomas B. Jackson, brother of Mr. John E. Jackson, County Surveyor, whose remains were found at the door of his room, in Temple block, by Constable Rose, about 7 o'clock yesterday morning. Mr. Jackson was last seen alive between 5 and 6 o'clock tiie previous evening. The jury returned a verdict tbat death was caused by cerebral apoplexy. From the position of the body when found and the fact that tbe key of his room still remained in his band, it is supposed that death must have been instantaneous. Deceased, whom we first met about five years ago, was a survey- or by profession, and a gentleman of large and varied experience out- side of bis profession, with wliom intercourse was both pleasant und profitable. His funeral will take place from Masonic Hall at eleven o'clock this morning. Albert Sidney Johnston. Joo Hooker ?"fighting Joe"? I in-.' been talking about Federal and Confederate generals lately. Arter a very accurate analysis of Grant, Hooker says tbe following pleas- ant things about Gen. Albeit Sid- ney Johnston, the father of two Angelefios: "He died oarly?too early in tbe war, to let thutquestiou be answer- ed with full confidence. But as faras he went, Albert Sidney Johns- ton was the portentous man ofthe war, and, probably, had he lived, would have been Us acknowledged genius by North aud South. 1 was in California at the breaking out of the war, and feeling that I must take a part in It, walked down to the Panama steamer witli Albert Sidney Johnston. He stud to me, 'Hooker, you uro going into the Union army?' 'And you John- ston?' 'I shall not fight against the Union flag,' be said; 'they have been my colors. Nor do I want to oppose my State with arms. I think I shall go down to Los An- gele», out of the way, aud assist my brother-in-law, Dr. Griffin, on his ranch there.' When I arrived East, 1 found Johrston was coming over- land to ns-ist. the Confederacy. When I arrived at Washington, I met Mackall, also au old army chum. Said I, 'Mackall, what are you going to do? 1 'Oh, Hooker!' he answered, 'I can never fight against the American flag'?und that night he crossed tho lines to aid the South." "Well, General, of the surviving Confederates, which was the most capable?" "It lies between Lorjgstreet and Joe Johnston," returned General Hooker, thoughtfully. "I suppose you have met Longstreel; you can see that he is a man of internal strength. Ho was a better soldier than Lee at Gettysburg. Astojoe Johnston, I saw him in Mexico, and was greatly impressed with his fine bearing iv tho Held, aud when I came in front of him in Northern Georgia, where he embarrassed me so long, I was equally impressed. Both these men were gifted com- manders." COURT REPORTS. OUtnet He**, SEPULVEDA, J. Friday, Nov. 8, 1878. Rlnaldi & Co vs Campbell?De- murrer overruled; ten days tn an- swer.

Gra ham, of tho Toltec Syndicate, who hasjust returned from a trip to the Santa Rita mines, Arizona. The Colonel is latterly putting in heavy licks towards earning the title of the "Great American Trav- eler." His trips to and from Ari- zona are fast and furious. He In- forms us that a mining revival of formidable proportions is now un- der way ln tbe Territory. He en- countered the advance guard of the Southern Pacific Railway fifteen miles out of Yuma, clearing away brush for the graders. The latter have advanced a couple of miles from Yuma towards Maricopa Welle, and the rails are laid and tied for a distance of a mile or a mile and a half. The working gangs are expected daily from Mar- tinez. Upon their arrival rapid progress will be made with the road-bed. "Democrat" on the Situation. Editor Herald: Tho call for a mass meeting to-night to nominate a People's ticket, to be voted for at the coming city election, does not seem to meet with the attention that it deserves from the Democ- racy. Let me tell them tbe pro- gramme that some of the manipu- lators and candidates have laid out. The Intention is to open the meeting at sharp 7.30. Immedi- ately that rising young lawyer, H. T. Hazard, is to be nominated for Chairman, and elected unanimous- ly; than he will be prepared to name a committco of say twenty- one, whose duty it will be to nom- inate candidates. In tbe course of next week the committee will re- port the following names: J. K. Toberman for Mayor; J. J. Carrillo for Tax Collector; J, F. Godfrey for City Attorney; L. W. French for Treasurer; and some good Republi- can for City Assessor. What do you think of such a ticket for a Democratic city ? If this programme is carried out, the Democrats must nominate a straight ticket, and then we shall have a triangular fight, aud tbe result may prove disastrous. Let Democrats, therefore, and all fair- minded Republicans attend tbe mealing In-night at 7.3osharp, and let us have a square deal all round. Democrat. Officers McFadden and Asabeda yesterday arrested five trauip9 who had helped themselves to wine from the cellar of tbe Hotel di Ro- ma. They were examined before Judgo Peol and three of them found guilty. Sentence reserved till to- day. A gentleman in New Orleans was. ugreeubly surprised to find a plump turkey served up for his dinner, and Inquired of tlie servant how it was obtained. "Why, sab." replied Sambo, "dat turkey has been roosting on our fence free nights, so dis morniu' 1 siezed him for de rent ob de fense." Probably, at Iho last, dreadful day, when Gabriel sounds hisjtrump if he doesn't stop ouce or twice be- tween tlio blasts, and shout, "Gen- eral, General! Colonel, I say !" not moro than two-fifths of the men in Amerlcau cemetries will get up. Property Transfers. VP'**, JUOSON, GIM.Et-t't: AOl ICON'S THAN- SCmtVTOK llKOOltlis, NOV. tf. 1878.

A Row of PearlsUllateulng through ooral lips is certainly

a pleasing object; but a row of discol-ored, bespeokled teeth In auy mouth atall la a grievous drawback -. Add to tul»that such a set ofteeth Is usually accom-panied by Impure breath, and one oanscarcely imagine anything more objec-

LOCAL BREVITIES,

Mr. Louis Rati elsewhere ortl-is adesirable residence to rent.

The Teachers' Institute adjourn-ed line die yesterday evening.

A uicoly furnished room is ou'ei-ed for rent ln our New To-Day.

Under Sheriff Kays returnedfrom a short visit to Sau Franciscoby yesterday's overland train.

The regular monthly meeting ofthe Horticultural Society will beheld at Ihe Pavilion at 11 o'clockA. M. to-day.

The Bsntlst Chuich, ou Springstreet, will give a Sunday SchoolConcert Sunday oveuing, begin-ning at 7 o'clock.

A lady, in our New To-day, ad-vertises to give instructions inmusic as an equivalent for a pleas-ant room und board.

We were mistaken in saying thatJailer Thompson receives seventy-

flvecents aday for his boarders. Heonly gets forty-five cents and in\u25a0crip, at I hat, which generallysells for only ninety oeuts on thedollar.

There is a dog lv Los Augeleswho believes that the Chineseought to go. Woe be to the poorCelestial who passes tliat dog'sway. The canine bites not loudbut deep.

Wo were favored with v call yes-terday hy Mr. R. May, agent of tbeserial department of Bancroft's pub-lishing house. Mr. May lias a num-ber of new and interesting publica-tions which ha will exhibit to thocitizens of this \u25a0 ?etlou during bisvisit.

The new United PresbyterianChurch at Santa Ana will be dedi-cated to-morrow. The Rev. M. M.Gibson, D. D. from Sau FranciscoI*expected to be present us well asother able ministers from abroad.Services will bo held at 11 o'clockA. si. and 7 p. m.

When we bear in mind the factthat there were only sixty-twomembers of the Los Angeles bararound to sign tliat memorial, we?re forcibly impressed with the un-derorowded condition of the pro-fession of the law hereabouts.

Lo* Angeles contributed the fol-lowing sums for the relief of theyellow fever sufferers: Subscrip-tions through Wells, Fargo & Co.,$616 50; collected by Messrs. Work-man Uephard and Dunkelberger,$500; contributed by WesternUnion Telegraph employes, $30320; two cltlzeos, $100. Total, $151970.

We learn that the repairs to themachinery and the new derrickwere completed at the Los AugelesOil Company's well in the SospeDistrict two days ago. On resum-ing work it was found tliat therewere 1,300 feet of oil in tho well. ItI*confidently believed that as soonas the well is cleared of sedimentoil will flowfreely, or that the wellwill be, in oil parlance, a "spouter."

We oall attention to the trips*column advertisement of the Me-chauic's Store, No. 40 Main street,which appears elsewhere. Thishouse receives every week freshconsignments of the latest styles ofclothing, dry goods, etc., which,considering the extra quality of thegoods, are sold cheaper than tbecheapest. Intending purchasersshould not fail to give this housea call aud, even ifthey should notbuy, they will receive polite at-tention from the proprietors and at-tache*.

And now comes along anothercritic, aud has his say about"Physician's" able article on cis-terns. As usual it is another envi-ous brother Esculaplus. He hasthe hardihood to say that bethinkshe knows who "Physician" is, andthat, if his judgment Is correct,this blasphemer of our mountainwater is entitled to know very lit-tle about its properties because healways takes his'n straight. Weare verilybeginning to think thatthe medical profession, in discuss-ing each other, are giveu to allenvy and uucbaritableuess.

Seflor Anastasio Vargas, a Mexi-oan historical and portrait paluter

ofconsiderable eminence, has latelyarrived in Lns Angeles. Ho basalready painted the portrait ofJudge Carrlllo. Having inspectedthe "counterfeit presentment" ofourold friend we are pleased to be ableto pronounce it a faithful and mer-itorious portrait. When we addthat the picture was painted lnnine hours those who will shortlyhave an opportunity of examiningtbe work will agree witb viin pro-nouncing Beflor Vargas an artistwho is characterized by celerity aswell as skill.

Teachers' Institute?Fifth Day.

CONCLUDING EXERCISES.

The Institute was called to orderat 9 A. il., Superintendent McDon-ald in the chair. The roll call an-nounced 82 present, 27 absent and10 excused.

The report of the Committeo ou

Music was quite pleasing, as like-wise the report of tho critic. MissBtarford, who, to say the least, wasterse.

Mr, Hayes' report ou queries was

quite interesting and highly amus-ing.

Prof. Lawlor resumed' the sub-ject of arithmetic with his usualzeal. ?

The subject of history was thentaken up by J. R. Brierly. His re-marks were quite happy aud de-cidedly to the point. He favoredoral history; would teach moro fromhome topics and dwell more partic-ularly upon home features and im-press upon the pupils the generalIdea* of the history of our owncountry.

Aftertbe Superintendent's reportof schools) and the condition of themdm, Mr. Henderson addressedlome pointed remarks ou the sub-ject of "Morals and Manners,"which were well received.

By request of the Chair, Prof.Allen addressed tbe Institute onpriviledged questions. He intro-duced his remarks by adding somebints on etiquette which werequite well received. Said tliatschool discipline almost entirelyembraced the elements of goodbreeding, and that there is nofeature in the entire course of edu-cation of so much importance totheir future welfare lv society.

Great care should be taken inpreparing questions; they shouldnot be too hard nor 100 oasy. Thoaverage grade of an examinationshould be about 70 per cent., illmtratitig his reasons for the sune.He conoluded with a few valuablehints to teachers conducting exam-inations and on Bchool governmentgenerally.Tho Committee on Resolutions pre-

sented their repnrl, which, on mo-tion, was accepted, and the resolu-tions set for tiie nl'tern >on sessionforconsideration, as also such fur-ther resolutions as may be submit-ted. Adjourned until Ip. M.

AFTERNOON.

Re-assambled at 1 P. H , Super-intendent MoDonald in the chair.

Noted 91 present, 21 absent and 7excused.

The following resolutions wereadopted:

Whereas, In. view of the losswe have sustained by tho death ofour friend und associate N. J. Mor-gan,ami ofthe still heavier loss sus-tained by thoso who were nearestaud dearest to hltn; therefore beit

Resolved, Tliat it is but a justtribute to the memory of the" de-ceased lo say that in regretting hisremoval from our midst, we mournfor oue who was in every wayworthy our resnect aud regard.

Resolved, That we sincerely con-dole with tho bereaved family un-der the severe affliction which Di-vine Providence has seen lit to sendupon them.

Resolved, That this heartfelt tes-timonial ofour esteem and sympa-thy bespread upon the minutes ofthe Institute and a copy sent to tbestricken family.

Whereas, Section 1847 of thePolitical Code of California pro-vides that tho minimum amountof couuty funds that can be leviediv any one year shall be such asum as will be equal to $3 to eachcensus child iv the county, aud

Whereas, The Hoard of Super-visors did, at their October meet-ing, deliberately refuse to complywith tbe law, when their attentionhad been called to Itby the CountySuperintendent and the DistrictAttorney, and did fix a tax levywhich willnot raise a sum morethan sufficient to give $2 to thecensus child, thereby causing a de-ficit in the incoming county fund?( Dot less than $12,000, audthrough said deficit shortening theterm of many of our school* fromone to two mouths; therefore, be it- Rttolved, Tbat we, the teachersof Los Augeles county, in conven-tion assembled, do denounce saidaction of tho Board of Supervisorsas illegal and an outrage upon ourrights aud tbo rights of the chil-dren in our publio schools.

Whereas, The State Agricultu-ral and Mechanioal College, as nowlocated, is not fulfillingtbe evidentintentions of the United States lawcreating such Colleges and confer-Ing grants of land on them; and

Whereas, The people of South-ern California are left entirely outlv the oold, as far as any benefitsfrom theso grants is concerned;therefore, be it

Resolved, By the teachers of LosAngeles county, in Institute assem-bled, that in our opinion a branchagricultural aud mechanical school(or schools) of mechanical artsought to be established in South-ern California, and wo recommendthat tbe people of tho southernpart of this State continue to agi-tate tbis subject until the demands?re granted.

Resolved, Tliat the thanks of theInstitute be tendered to Superin-tendent McDonald for the able andImpartial manner In which he haspresided over tbe deliberations ofthe same aud discharged the otherduties of his office.

Resolved, Tbat the sham attemptsat economy made by our delegationin the last Legislature, by cuttingdown the salary of the Couuty Su-perintendent of Schools to such asmall compensation tbat it willcompel the bolder ef that office lnthe future to virtually give upvisiting the schools and confinehimself to tbe clerical duties of theoffice, while at the same session ofthe Legislature these delegates didprocure the passage of a law in-creasing the pay of county offi-cials already receiving large sala-ries, is a blow at the efficiency ofour public schools and is deservingof the condemnation ofevery friendof. education.

Resolved, Tbat the thanks of theInstitute are tendered to ShotnluacTribe, I. O. K. M., for the free useof their hall on Tuesday evening;to tbe Philharmonic Society fortheir pleasing entertainment Wed-nesday evening; tho Loi Angelespress tor full reports of the proceed-ings; to Professors Allen and Mannfor their valuable services, and toProfessor Carr aud Dr. Widney fortheir able lectures.

Resolved, That the Institute re-spectfully request that the StateBoard of Education examine thatpart of the school Jaw which per-

tains ta the powers, duties andemoluments of County School Su-perintendents, and that they sug-gest to the Legislature any amend-ments to the same they may deemnecessary. W. P. McDonald,

DEATH FROM APOPLEXY.

Mr. Thomas B, Jackson Found Dead at B aRoom Door,

Coroner Hannon yesterday heldan inquest on the body of Mr.Thomas B. Jackson, brother of Mr.John E. Jackson, County Surveyor,whose remains were found at thedoor of his room, in Temple block,by Constable Rose, about 7 o'clockyesterday morning. Mr. Jacksonwas last seen alive between 5 and 6o'clock tiie previous evening. Thejuryreturned a verdict tbat deathwas caused by cerebral apoplexy.From the position of the bodywhen found and the fact that tbekey of his room still remained inhis band, it is supposed that deathmust have been instantaneous.

Deceased, whom we first metabout five years ago, was a survey-or by profession, and a gentlemanof large and varied experience out-side of bis profession, with wliomintercourse was both pleasant undprofitable. His funeral will takeplace from Masonic Hall at eleveno'clock this morning.

Albert Sidney Johnston.

Joo Hooker?"fighting Joe"?Iin-.' been talking about Federal andConfederate generals lately. Artera very accurate analysis of Grant,Hooker says tbe following pleas-ant things about Gen. Albeit Sid-ney Johnston, the father of twoAngelefios:

"He died oarly?too early in tbewar, to let thutquestiou be answer-ed with full confidence. But asfaras he went,Albert Sidney Johns-ton was the portentous man ofthewar, and, probably, had he lived,would have been Us acknowledgedgenius by North aud South. 1 wasin California at the breaking out ofthe war, and feeling that I musttake a part in It, walked down tothe Panama steamer witli AlbertSidney Johnston. He stud to me,'Hooker, you uro going into theUnion army?' 'And you John-ston?' 'Ishall not fight against theUnion flag,' be said; 'they havebeen my colors. Nor do Iwant tooppose my State with arms. Ithink Ishall go down to Los An-gele», out of the way, aud assist mybrother-in-law, Dr. Griffin, on hisranch there.' When I arrived East,1 found Johrston was coming over-land to ns-ist. the Confederacy.When Iarrived at Washington, Imet Mackall, also au old armychum. Said I, 'Mackall, what areyou going to do? 1 'Oh, Hooker!'he answered, 'I can never fightagainst the American flag'?undthat night he crossed tho lines toaid the South."

"Well, General, of the survivingConfederates, which was the mostcapable?"

"It lies between Lorjgstreet andJoe Johnston," returned GeneralHooker, thoughtfully. "I supposeyou have met Longstreel; you cansee that he is a man of internalstrength. Ho was a better soldierthan Lee at Gettysburg. AstojoeJohnston, I saw him in Mexico,and was greatly impressed with hisfine bearing iv tho Held, aud whenI came in front of him in NorthernGeorgia, where he embarrassed meso long, I was equally impressed.Both these men were gifted com-manders."

We had tlio pleasure of a chatyesterday with Col. John D. Graham, of tho Toltec Syndicate, whohasjust returned from a trip to theSanta Rita mines, Arizona. TheColonel is latterly putting inheavy licks towards earning thetitle of the "Great American Trav-eler." His trips to and from Ari-zona are fast and furious. He In-forms us that a mining revival offormidable proportions is now un-der way ln tbe Territory. He en-countered the advance guard of theSouthern Pacific Railway fifteenmiles out of Yuma, clearing awaybrush for the graders. The latterhave advanced a couple of milesfrom Yuma towards MaricopaWelle, and the rails are laid andtied for a distance of a mile or amile and a half. The workinggangs are expected daily from Mar-tinez. Upon their arrival rapidprogress will be made with theroad-bed.

"Democrat" on the Situation.

Editor Herald: Tho call for amass meeting to-night to nominatea People's ticket, to be voted for atthe coming city election, does notseem to meet with the attentionthat it deserves from the Democ-racy. Let me tell them tbe pro-gramme that some of the manipu-lators and candidates have laidout. The Intention is to open themeeting at sharp 7.30. Immedi-ately that rising young lawyer, H.T. Hazard, is to be nominated forChairman, and elected unanimous-ly; than he will be prepared toname a committco of say twenty-one, whose duty it will be to nom-inate candidates. In tbe course ofnext week the committee will re-port the following names: J. K.Toberman for Mayor; J. J. Carrillofor Tax Collector; J, F. Godfrey forCity Attorney; L. W. French forTreasurer; and some good Republi-can for City Assessor. What doyou think of such a ticket for aDemocratic city ?

If this programme is carried out,the Democrats must nominate astraight ticket, and then we shallhave a triangular fight, aud tberesult may prove disastrous. LetDemocrats, therefore, and all fair-minded Republicans attend tbemealing In-night at 7.3osharp, andlet us have a square deal all round.

Democrat.

Officers McFadden and Asabedayesterday arrested five trauip9 whohad helped themselves to winefrom the cellar of tbe Hotel di Ro-ma. They were examined beforeJudgo Peol and three of them foundguilty. Sentence reserved till to-day.

A gentleman in New Orleanswas. ugreeubly surprised to find aplump turkey served up for hisdinner, and Inquired of tlie servanthow it was obtained. "Why, sab."replied Sambo, "dat turkey hasbeen roosting on our fence freenights, so dis morniu' 1 siezed himfor de rent ob de fense."

Probably, at Iho last, dreadfulday, when Gabriel sounds hisjtrumpif he doesn't stop ouce or twice be-tween tlio blasts, and shout, "Gen-eral, General! Colonel, Isay !" notmoro than two-fifths of the men inAmerlcau cemetries will get up.
