THE CAUSE GOES MARCHING ON! The Meeting Saturday Evening. The meeting of the Grant & Wilson Club on Saturday last was a success which must have been gratifying to the friends of the Republican cause. The attendance was large, the speaking far better than could reasonably have been expected of men not professed orators, and the general good feeling which he trailed, not the least grievous, felt in the meeting. The deliberation was so satisfactory that it was credited with saving the nation which needed cultivation to raise its prosperity among political species. The minutes of his address were sketched with art the administration. Thanks the Democratic charges of corruption are only to work upon the prejudices of the ignorant. Eastern elections prove that the people have no faith in the Liberal movement. H. T. PAYNE. Mr. Payne started with the proposition that the defection for Grant with Liberal Republicans was from two reasons: First, the fact that he had never possessed any political ambition, andiring of a soldier's life in times of peace had sought an honest livelihood in the occupation of a tanner, but says the speaker. "There was a noble patriotism lurking behind this veil of obscurity which only awaited an insult to his country's flag to kindle, and when he heard the tocsin of war he leaped from his obscurity and laid his life upon the altar of his country. The speaker described the rapidity with which he ascended the ladder of fame and possessed public capacity anything in the councils of he has not been honored by being sent to Congress catering for the Government New York, he could never nomination, because so erratic Horace White, cago Tribune, said of him "Horace Greeley is not never has been, a man who to be trusted with an office requiring practical wisdom statesmanship, or firm action. For twenty-five has been a Marplot in unreliable commander in misanthrope in victory and disorganizer in defeat." tion which has been formed mote his election was un That which we most Grant, Greeley either p endorsed. He urged the legislation, the suppress habeas corpus, the central dancies which constitute Mr. Davis began by saying that the Democrats by an avowed endorsement of a Republican platform had placed the contest wholly on personal grounds. Republicans would have perferred to have made the issue on the principles of liberty, union and justice, regarding these principles as trophies of the Republican party and a part of its history that can never be blotted out. To whose keeping should those principle now be committed? Who is most likely to preserve and carry them out? Speaker argued that Mr. Greeley could not control his party if it had a majority in Congress; the party would rather control the President. The Baltimore convention had only accepted Mr. Greeley and his platform as a dire necessity. Have really no veneration for the principles announced therein, and will not be likely to carry them out if they come into have been expected of men not professed orators, and the general good feeling which he caused, not the least grievous in this meeting. The address was brief and short and barely mentions the gallantry of orators which need not cultivation to raise success among political speakers. The manner of his address were sketchy with an art worthy the reputation of a veteran orator. Sage prologue to paraphrase the maintenance of a collection of articles and command of the message world has been admirable, even in an older expounder of political faith. There are faults, however, which as a public crime we feel free to remark. One is what we regard as an affected and faulty pronunciation in some instances—a sort of interpolation of French accent upon words that sound better with a clear Anglo-Saxon ring. The other is a super attendance of adjectives, a good idea sometimes dropped in a sas of words. These faults are easily removed and a sufficient sub-structure remains. The meeting was called to order by President Guinn. Mr. Davis took up the various accusations against the President. He denied emphatically the charge of gift-taking, challenging the opposition party to furnish the slightest proofs of any gifts received by Grant during his administration; claimed that the financial policy of a President had been wise in reducing the public debt at the rate of nearly $300,000 per day, that the interest had been reduced $22,000,-000 and the taxes $108,000,000 per year. Said that the charge of fraud in the management of the revenue was the greatest gun of the Democratic campaign, and he proposed to spike it, by giving a few figures from the published statements of Secretaries McCullough and Bentwell. In the administration of Andy Johnson the tax on liquor wa $2.00 per gallon and Johnson's collectors only paid into the Treasury from that source $13,000,000 per year, while Grant's collectors with a tax of only has been a marplot in unreliable commander in misanthrope in victory and disorganizer in defeat. tion which has been formed mote his election was un That which we most con-Grant, Greeley either p-endorsed. He urged the legislation, the suppress-habeas corpus, the central dencies which constitute item in the indictment of istration. Capital is timid; some already been noted in first cles upon the prospect oiion of Mr. Greeley. To sum up, the ship oi been guided by General credit. The currency hable; the foreign policy, of the "54° 40" or fight" been conducted with reour best interests and wi th the revenues have been and the national debt is idly wiped out. It is be cept a certainty than to t an uncertainty. A Jubilee for the M A California court just that no marriage perform miles from shore is legal decision is said to have "bombshell" among scores in this State. People no California naturally ask decision was made, and a should fall like a bombs any families whatever. The reason for the deal for its startling effect be found in the fact that and romantic couples in have been in the habit oi to sea to get married. A difficulty involving property having arisen in the counsel for one oi raised the point of law, a diction of the State e three miles from the powers of clergymen a becomes vacated when t xond that line: and co that all couples whose remonies were performed the jurisdictional line, are not married at all. The tained this point, and consternation in so man It is stated that there w them out? Speaker argued that Mr. Greeley could not control his party if it had a majority in Congress; the party would rather control the President. The Baltimore convention had only accepted Mr. Greeley and his platform as a dire necessity. Have really no veneration for the principles enunciated therein, and will not be likely to carry them out if they come into power—would pension rebel as well as union soldiers. The 9th Resolution of Cincinnati platform reads: "We remember with gratitude the devotion and sacrifices of the soldiers and sailors of the republic, and no act of ours shall ever detract from their justly earned fame or the full reward of their patriotism." Speaker thought: Democrats did not really endorse that sentiment. Thought Greeley's election would impair the national credit and prove a national calamity. Grant is charged with being corrupt and appropriating the national funds to partisan purposes. Look at the facts after an annual reduction in taxiff of $30,000,000. Grant's first two years showed a gain of $55,000,000 over last two years of Johnson. Aggregate annual reduction of taxes under Grant has been $125,000,000 yet. Grant's admin last year paid into his Treasury $35,000,000 more than the last year of Johnson. Johnson's administration paid $13,000,000 of the public debt. Greece had paid in 81 years (In La, April 1871, 1865, 1841, 289, or at the rate of $3,319,423 per month). The actual interest charge has been decreased $23,101,265. These facts prove the honesty and because of Democratic campaign, and he proposed to spike it, by giving a few figures from the published statements of Secretaries McCullough and Bentwell. In the administration of Andy Johnson the tax on liquor was $2.00 per gallon and Johnson's collectors only paid into the Treasury from that source $13,000,000 per year, while Grant's collectors with a tax of only 50 cts. per gallon paid into the treasury $48,000,000 per year. DR. HIGGINS. Remarks from Dr. W. M. Higgins being next in order, that gentleman was called upon and came forward. He stated that he had begun the preparation of a train of argument which he had not had time to fully carry out, but would present the subject as far as he had considered it and trust to some future occasion for an opportunity to complete his remarks. What he had to say was substantially as follows: Reform is the battle-cry: whence comes it, from the people or the politicians? From those on the one side who have not been able to shape Mr. Grant's administration to suit themselves, and from those on the other side who desire to get control of the Government. Reform is called for regards revenue, finance, civil service, and foreign policy. And Dr. Greeley is the man to bring about this consummation devoutly to be wished. Is he the man? Because he has done before the public many years, long enough surely to have been needed by the country if he they will desire to contend another five years, while were entering unhappy a chance of escape, and sink five years of their lives instead of their life now if they happen ed to take in those days in hearts and heads were gone. Queen Victoria has Nellie Grant her portraitous stones, Organization of a Tax-Payers' Union. In consequence of the strong spirit of aggrandizement manifested by the Stanford Co., and the multiplicity of the schemes and measures devised and adopted by it, to rob this city and county of one-twentieth of the taxable property, a number of our most influential citizens, whose just indignation has been fully aroused, met together last evening, organized a Tax-payers' Union, and adopted the following resolutions: Resolutions and articles of union adopted at a meeting of the citizens and taxpayers of the city and county of Los Angeles, on the 13th day of September, 1872. Whereas, Certain schemes have been conceived and are intended to be put into operation, which, in the opinion of this meeting, will result in increasing the burdens of the already overburdened people of the city and county of Los Angeles, and which, without producing any commensurate benefits, will necessarily impair our resources and diminish the value of our property, and Whereas, In order to defeat all California court just decided no marriage performed three miles from shore is legal, and this decision is said to have "fallen like a bombshell" among scores of families in this State. People not living in California naturally ask why such a decision was made, and also why it would fall like a bombshell among families whatever. The reason for the decision, and for its startling effects, are found in the fact that eloping romantic couples in California have been in the habit of going out sea to get married. A domestic family involving questions of property having arisen in the courts, counsel for one of the parties cited the point of law, as the jurisdiction of the State extends but few miles from the shore, the powers of clergymen and justices comes vacated when they go behead that line; and consequently, all couples whose marriage co-ocies were performed beyond jurisdictional line, are in fact married at all. The court sustained this point, and hence the sternation in so many families. Whereas, certain schemes have been conceived and are intended to be put into operation, which, in the opinion of this meeting, will result in increasing the burdens of the already overburdened people of the city and county of Los Angeles, and without producing any commensurate benefits, will necessarily impair our resources and diminish the value of our property, and. Whereas, In order to defeat all such measures and schemes, it is necessary, in the opinion of this meeting, that the property holders of said city and county should combine and act together in resisting the same. Therefore, be it resolved: 1. That we unite and associate ourselves together by the name and style of the "Los Angeles Tax-payers' Union," and invite all citizens and tax-payers of the county and city of Los Angeles to unite with us in promoting the objects of our association. 2. That there should be chosen, as officers of this association, a President, Vice-President, Treasurer and Secretary, who shall hold their respective offices for the space of one year from the date of their election, and who shall possess such powers and perform such duties as shall be assigned to them by vote of the association. 3. That we mutually pledge ourselves that we shall individually and collectively resort to all legitimate means and zealously co-operate with each other to defeat any and all schemes which tend to increase tagation without producing corresponding benefits to the people of the city and county, all schemes which look to the aggregation of a few wealthy persons, at the expense of the entire population, and all such as have a tendency to build up particular localities by dwarfing the present business centers of the county. 4. That we are heartily opposed to all donations or subsidies to promote the construction of roads which shall not benefit the city and county at large, but advances only the interests of particular persons or localities. 5. That we are specially opposed to and shall do all in our power to defeat gratuitous transfer of the stock held by the city and county in the Los Angeles and San Pedro railroad to any corporation or body of men whatsoever. 6. That we will do all in our power to promote immigration to and the development at the riot na counsel for one of the parties led the point of law, as the jurisdiction of the State extends but three miles from the shore, the waters of clergymen and justices homes vacated when they go behead that line; and consequently, all couples whose marriage co-monies were performed beyond the jurisdictional line, are in fact married at all. The court sustained this point, and hence the esternation in so many families. It stated that there was a good deal of re-marrying, as soon as this vision became known. But the greatest dismay is said exist among those who felt themselves secure in situations which the other party, in light of experience, will not only seek to renew now that they have declared null. Many women of many husbands have suddenly grown very tender and loving towed partners of whom they have been rather selectful for years. And the sudden awakening of old slumbering loves by the dancers of losing their objects, has suggested to observers the query whether it would not be advantageous and advisable to have, at certain regular intervals, a grand year tubilee for married people at which the "bond could go free". The great German poet and philosopher, thought that marrying superiors of five years would be bad for the reason that it would be the effect to make each part into a marriage contract more soious to front the other so that they will desire to continue it for either five years, while those who are entering unhappy could have chance of escape, and would only five years of their lives, in nurseries instead of their whole lives, if they happened to make a misdeed in those days in which their hearts and heads were green.
