ANAHEIM GAZETTE. SATURDAY, JULY 8, 1871. NOTICE. Los Angeles candidates wishing to be announced in the Anaheim Gazette can arrange to do so by calling on Mr. W. J. Brodrick. For District Attorney: Cameron E. Thom, Esq., of Los Angeles, announces himself as a candidate for re-election to the office of District Attorney. Capt. Thom, scarcely needs a commendation, he being one who has shared the tedious labors of this county, both in and out of office for years. He is a young man and able lawyer, possessing the full use of his faculties, and his past experience in the complex duties of his office, will enable him to continue their fulfillment with greater satisfaction to the public than any other man in the county. In Town - We noticed upon our streets yesterday, Wm. R. Rowland, Esq., of San Jose valley, the popular candidate for sheriff of this county. Mr. Rowland has a host of friends in this vicinity, who will add material numbers to his majority at the primaries and at the general election. Stand From Under. The Los Angeles News announces its intention not to support any democratic candidate for election who is not a sub- San Jose valley, the popular candidate for sheriff of this county. Mr. Rowland has a host of friends in this vicinity, who will add material numbers to his majority at the primaries and at the general election. Stand From Under: The Los Angeles News announces its intention not to support any democratic candidate for election who is not a subscriber to that paper. The News people are impressed with the strange hallucination that editors require money and have to eat, and all that sort of nonsense. Their item on this subject also looks like advocating a compulsory education of the masses. The News has the grip this time, and its circulation will no doubt speedily increase. We adopt the same platform. Artesian Wells: Five artesian wells are now flowing in the vicinity of Santa Ana. Another one opposite the store of Mr. Spurgeon at that place, is down to a depth of 130 feet; and the augur is working in gravel which appears to be the bed of a dry river. Water will no doubt be struck there in a few days. If a success, it will demonstrate that artesian water can be obtained all over this valley. A new kind of boring machine for well digging has lately been brought into this county, and the Star says the owners intend entering into the business of boring artesian wells, on an extensive scale. In the vicinity of Comptonville and through the valley between Los Angeles and Wilmington, there are a number of flowing wells; and the indications are, that in a few years our agricultural interest throughout the County will be independent of rain, and that dry seasons will not affect our prosperity as they have done. Passengers: Among the passengers by the steamers of yesterday were the following named C. A. Gardner, and wife; Miss A. Bremmerman (daughter of H. Bremmerman of Anaheim) Gilbert Higginbottom, Rex Truman, Gus Dawley. At Anaheim the day by the firing of thirteen hold & Baldwin, and by tie and noises of preparation to our neighboring town houses were closed for were flung to the brink early hour, there was the symptoms and an old-time enthusiasm.

Bremmerman (daughter of H. Bremmerman of Anaheim) Gilbert Huntington; Ben Truman, Gov. Downey; A. Bronson; L. Wolfskill and Col. C. J. Couts. For Assessor Mr George L. Russell, of Santa Ana, announces himself as a candidate for the office of County Assessor. Mr. Russell makes the sixth candidate in the field for this office. He overthreats stards a pretty good show for the place. He has many friends and acquaintances in all parts of the county who will sustain him regardless of politics; and the people of this portion of the county should by all means sustain him as a home man His election would prevent much running to Los Angeles, to correct erroneous assessments. Let us all go in for him. RETURNING. The many friends of T W. Temple, Esq., of Los Angeles, will be glad to learn that he is about to return to California, from his tour in the Eastern States and Canada. We make the following extract from a letter just received from him and dated June 23rd at Reading Massachusetts: "I arrived here on the 16th of May after visiting the principal Eastern Citizen, as well as Quebec and Montreal. I take my departure for California to day, by way of New York, Philadelphia and Washington City—remaining at the latter place until after the 4th of July." AND CELEBRATION OF THE FOURTH, AT SANTA ANA. General turn-out of the People—The Thousand Persons Present—Anheim and Vicinity well Represented—Oration, Incidents and Incident. The celebration of the 4th of July at Ana, by the citizens of that place, Anheim, was the most general and esoteric of any ever held south of San Gabriel river. The entire celebration was organized by the publicized citizens of Santa Ana. The committee of arrangements had spared coins or expense to erect a pavilion, durable; to provide ample accommodations and a dinner; to procure music appropriate decorations, and perish the numerous details for such occasion. The place selected for the ceremonies was a grove of mahogany trees about one-fourth of a mile from the village; and at this point o'clock, there gathered upwards the thousand people, from Anheim, Williams' settlement, Tustin City, Ana, and the whole surrounding entry. Processions of carraiges and tons converged at that point; and this direction extended over the en-six miles of road to Anheim. Many of the vehicles had the Amer-icolors flying as they were passing the road; others were docked with greens; and the spirit of hollidays had to have perfect rule. AT ANHEIM. Anheim the day was ushered in the spring of thirteen years by Arnaheim. Kind a free and independent Republic. Nothing but integrity and capacity, and above all courage—could have brought them to the achievement of a condition in human affairs, that had never previously existed. And in a detached and distant situation which enables us to pursue an independent course as a nation—free from external complications and annoyances—free to combat all things inconsistent with reason—free from religious intolerance—equally free from a political intolerance—and treer in all respects than any other civilized nation. Thus having gained a point unknown to the throes and convulsions of the ancient world—and a nation which may well be called the world's best hope. It was left for America, the late born continent—a continent never dreamed of by Cicero and Seneca—this hemisphere, sleeping for ages beneath the unknown skies—veiled in enchanted slumber since she suddenly and silently rose from the mysterious solitude of the sea—to be the scene of the world's greatest progress in civilization, the arts, sciences and liberty. Upon this continent within ninety-five years, has the world's light of learning gained such a foot-hold, that no human circumstance can again plunge our race into ignorance and barbarism. A thousand years ago, the learning of the Roman empire was biotted out by the inundations of the northern hordes of goths and vandals. Continental Europe was laid waste and desolate. Children grew to manhood without learning, and their children followed in ignorance and war during the period known as the Dark Ages. Manuscript books were destroyed; arts were lost or forgotten, and the human family retapsed into a night from which day would never have dawned, had it not been for the discovery of America, and the discovery of the art of printing. But no deeds of man can now turn backward or blot out the progress of the whatever disadvantage pear to have from two countries to the fact that since the Americans California—yet in that have certainly accounted any other nation even upon the lower early in this valley,pect a distinct speech spring up With them will grow the fruits:the tea, opium, silk plants of the east, wine, wool, sugar, many other products:ere long be produced est abundance. The road, will pour into and industrious popl this takes place,a lower coast railroad who have settled these improvements reward. It is plain the unsettled coastroduments to the this valley. It is that has unbounded it in the face. Who have railroads;who will now have rail who can doubt but both population and is the destined homecendants of the weorty-loving Germanand of a race of gathered from all world. This valley has landscape is markedthe precipitous and tains the level and ocean,the islandsopy as ever shoneIsles of Greece Mountain tops with morn,and paints u At Anaheim the day was ushered in the firing of thirteen guns by Arsenal & Baldwin, and by the other busiest and noisest of preparation for the ride our neighboring town. The business houses were closed for the day, flags flung to the breeze, and at any hour, there were visible all symptoms and indications of cold-time enthusiasm day. At Santa Ana. At Santa Ana, the scene was equally lily, and a grand and glorious celebration was thus inaugurated. The seats which had been provided were found insufficient, and wagon loads chairs and benches were sent from School House and private residences. After the seating of the assemblage order direction of Chief Marshal A. L. Ash and assistant Marshal T. M. Rickle, the ceremonies were commenced by King Judge J. J. Johnson, President the day to the chair and the election the following Vice Presidents: Thos. Sad, Esq., Col Amos' Travis, Levi Kus, Esq., Robert English, Esq., Mr. C. Stimn, S. Cole, Esq., and C. Doty, Esq., Rev. Mr. Ellis was then introduced to read a chapter from the scriptures and offered prayer, after which G. Russell, Esq., read the Declaration of Independence in an impressive manner. At Anaheim Brass Band, which was attendance, then played a patriotic tune, after which G. W. Barter, Esq., theitor of the day was introduced, and delivered the following oration, which he publish by special request of the Santa Ana Celebration Committee: ORATION. Among all the vicissitudes incident to this world—among all the epochs that mark the course of time—among all the children grew to manhood without learning, and their children followed in ignorance and war during the period known as the Dark Ages. Manuscript books were destroyed; arts were lost or forgotten, and the human family relapsed into a night from which day would never have dawned, had it not been for the discovery of America, and the discovery of the art of printing. But no deeds of man can now turn backward or blot out the progress of the world. Nothing but some great convolution in nature that would destroy everything upon the surface of the earth, could again plunge our race into darkness and superstition; for we have printed civilization—the sunlight of God's wisdom, upon the broad page of the American Continent. Well may the national anniversary of independence be celebrated. A review of the past 95 years, the development of our resources, the improvements in steam, electricity and the mechanics (which would even astonish the original discoverers and inventors), the advance of the grand army of pioneers to the shores of the Pacific ocean—is well calculated to make us, as a nation, glory in commemorating the day on which this grandeur was inaugurated and ascitions to exclaim, I am an American; with a dignity even surpassing that which inspired the Roman when he meditated upon Magna verum Romae. We are in the midst of greatness—We fortunately live in an age of great events and gigantic enterprises. The glory of our greatness commenced to manifest itself when the declaration of our Independence was promulgated. From a small handful of heroic men, who in the gloomy days of seventeen hundred and seventy six composed the colonies of America, we have grown in less than a century to one of the greatest and most powerful nations of the earth—a nation of tree-holders, where every man owns a wedge of the earth, from its center to the stars, and where he tools self-respect, self-support and self-government. Mankind must now move onward and continue in this vein of progress. Deeds wrought in America compels civilization and invention to move forward forever. For the first time in world's history, a race of men have stamped upon mankind a decree of fate; and the eternal truth, the eternal justice, the eternal progress of wisdom, of science and of invention must move on through years, centuries and time itself. It is within the range of possibility that the 4th of July will yet be celebrated a thousand times. We cannot This valley has landscape is marked by precipitous tains the level and ocean, the islandsopy as ever shoneIsles of Greece mountain tops with morn, and paints us at evening a glorious broad and capacious magnificence, the long life—there is wealth—and it only selves as individual est boon, a placid part of this great action, the most unbeatable.

No upon the magnificent last until 4 p.m delegation took a started for home. As the team ot returning, laden about half a mile,the tongue of his neck yoke an Among all the vicissitudes incident to this world—among all the epochs that mark the course of time—among all the changes in governments since authenticity—no event has ever reached the importance of that which marked the establishment of this free and independent government. Occurring as it did in an undeveloped country with boundless resources, two hundred and eighty four years after its discovery by Columbus; it gave an impetus to civilization and improvement, that no future mutations of time can check or turn aside. It hastened civilization upon mankind, and delibly stamped the word "Liberty" upon all modern governments. The discovery of America, was indeed great event—great, because it occurred at about the time of the reformation, the revival of Roman literature, and the discovery of the art of printing—a great because it opened up the grand field of Commerce, invention and enterprise ever known—but of greater import to the human family, was the heroic action of an undaunted people, rising up in their utmost strength, and proving with their life blood—their decoration of independence, and their God directed victories, that all men are created with the inherent and natural rights of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." All honor to the noble few, who in the young years of America, won for man- ward and continue in this vein of progress. Deeds wrought in America, compels civilization and invention to move forward forever. For the first time in the world's history, a race of men have stamped upon mankind a decree of fate; and the eternal truth, the eternal justice, the eternal progress of wisdom, of science and of invention must move on through years, centuries and time itself. It is within the range of possibility that the 4th of July will yet be celebrated a thousand times. We cannot even approximately contemplate our future. Like eternity and infinity the subject is beyond our comprehension. Even the increasing increase of the next five centuries on this continent, is beyond the scope of our thoughts. We may predict a united government of North and South America, the united nations of the world, the perceptible lowering of our mountain tops; and in the arts, the flying machines, electrical engines, perpetual motions and telescopic intercourse with the inhabitants of the planets. All these may be—and if they are not, there will be things equally as astonishing in the next five hundred years. But we will turn to our immediate future, to the future of America in our day and generation—and the future of this coast and of this beautiful valley—the Italy of the west. Italy and California, bear a strong similarity to each other in form, area, latitude, topography, climate and general resources. California reaches from thirty-two to forty-two degrees, and Italy from thirty-seven to forty seven degrees. The width of each is about one fifth of its length, and the longitudinal axis of each runs southeast and northwest. Both have long coast line and are favorably suited for Commerce. Our State has one hundred and eighty-eight thousand square miles, and the Italian peninsular one hundred and eighteen thousand Each is renowned for the mildness and equability of its climate; but ours is the rarest of the two—and we can double-discount them on our mineral deposits, our northern forests, our grand scenery, and our more active progress. As the team oft returning, laden about half a mile, the tongue of his neck yoke and The horses were Mr. Horn though bringing them But this determine formed than the ground and broke and the passenger severely thrown Horn was bruised sustained some legs. Mrs Macy bruises; Mr. Pu the right arm; ed bruises. It is serious injury occur In the evening ball took place was largely attested upon the spur of previous notice. Of Santa Ana, wager, and the dailil the "we smal The day pass mony. No secret uttered. Politics forgotten, and union by patriot no North, South whole, prosper Country, seemed nent degree. Whatever disadvantages we may appear to have from the comparison between the two countries, may be attributed to the fact that it is only 25 years since the Americans got possession of California—yet in that brief time, we have certainly accomplished more than any other nation ever did in a century. Upon the lower Coast, and particularly in this valley, we may now expect a distinct species of agriculture to spring up. With the cereals of the north will grow the fruits of the tropics; with the tea, opium, silks, gums, spices and plants of the east, will grow the tobacco and potatoes of the west. Brandy, wine, wool, sugar, salt, together with many other products yet unknown, will here long be produced here in the greatest abundance. The Texas Pacific Railroad, will pour into our valley a dense and industrious population. And when this takes place, and the net work of lower coast railroads is completed, you who have settled here in advance of these improvements will reap a golden reward. It is plain that no section of the unsettled coast offers greater inducements to the immigrant than this valley. It is the only new country that has unbounded prosperity staring at the face. Who doubts but we will have railroads; who doubts but that we will now have rain—and with these who can doubt but that we will have both population and prosperity. Here is the destined home of the pioneer's descendants of the well-schooled and liberty-loving German, of the Irish exile, and of a race of God's free people gathered from all parts of the civilized world. This valley has its beauties. Its landscape is marked by bold features—the precipitous and sharp angled mountains the level and expansive plain, the ocean, the islands, and as clear a canopy as ever shone above the storied Isles of Greece. The sun tips our mountain tops with rainbow colors at morn, and paints upon our western sky. CLOTHING Free brought and offered for sale in this City or County.

As the team of Mr. George Horn was returning, laden with citizens; when about half a mile this side of Santa Ana, the tongue of his wagon slipped from the neck-yoke and fell to the ground. The horses were going at full speed, and Mr. Horn thought to avoid trouble by bringing them gradually to a halt. But this determination was no sooner formed than the tongue entered the ground and broke; the wagon crashed, and the passengers were suddenly and severely thrown to the ground. Mrs. Horn was bruised on the face, Mr. Horn sustained some slight injuries about the legs. Mrs Macy received several severe bruises; Mr. Purcell was badly hurt in the right arm; several others received bruises. It is fortunate that no serious injury occurred to any. THE BALL. In the evening at Anaheim, a grand ball took place at Richards' hall, and was largely attended although arranged upon the spur of the hour and without previous notice. T. M. Rickert, Esq. of Santa Ana, was appointed floor manager, and the dance was continued until the "we sma' hours." ALL SERENE. The day passed off in entire harmony. No sectional sentiments were uttered. Politics were for the time forgotten, and the old feelings of reunion by patriotic Americans that know no North, South, East or West; but one whole, prosperous and progressive Country, seemed to prevail to an eminent degree.
