Southern California. Published Every Saturday. CHAS. A GARDNER. EDITOR and PROPRIETOR. OFFICE AT CORNER OF CENTER AND LOS ANGELES STREETS. TERMS: For One Year (In advance.)... 5 00 " Six Months," " " ... 3 00 " Three " " " ... 2 00 Are We Represented? It seems, from the following, that at least one member of the Los Angeles delegation, Asa Ellis, does not regard Anaheim as a part of his constituency. Several weeks ago a petition was sent from this city to the Legislature, praying for the re-peal of the city charter. A remonstrance or protest against the repeal and devising our people with false promises, he coolly says "I write at once to save you the trouble of getting up another remonstance." This transaction has passed into history, and made a portion of the record of Asa Ellis. The following petition explains itself: STATE OF CALIFORNIA, COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES. Personally appeared before me, A. Kohler, a Justice of the Peace of and for Los Angeles County, Henry Kroeger, John P. Zayn, John Fischer, S. J. Davis, Oscar George and Henry Bremermann, who each for himself, and not one for the other, deposes and says: That it has come to their positive knowledge, through a certain letter addressed to their fellow citizen Max Strobel, by Hon. Asa Ellis, a member of the Los Angeles delegation to the State Legislature. Are We Represented? It seems, from the following, that at least one member of the Los Angeles delegation, Asa Ellis, does not regard Anaheim as a part of his constituency. Several weeks ago a petition was sent from this city to the Legislature, praying for the repeal of the city charter. A remonstrance or protest against the repeal was soon gotten up—signed, we believe, by a majority of our citizens—and forwarded to Asa Ellis. When Major Strobel was at Sacramento recently, he conferred with Mr. Ellis upon the subject, representing to him the wishes of a large majority of the voters and tax-payers of this city that the charter should not be repealed. Mr. Ellis informed the major that the remonstrance had been lost or stolen from his desk, but advised him to get up another remonstrance and forward to him, and assured him that no action should be taken in the matter until the second remonstrance should be recieved and the wishes of the people ascertained. The Major returned, satisfied with this assurance; but what was his astonishment, on Thursday last, at the receipt of the following letter from Mr. Ellis: SACRAMENTO, Feb. 8th, 1872. MAJ. MAX STROBEL, Anaheim. Dear Sir: This will inform you that after a careful and impartial examination of both the petition and remonstrance in relation to the disincorporation of the city of Anaheim, I have concluded to pass the bill, dissolving the corporation or charter. I write at once to save you the trouble of getting up another remonstrance. Yours truly, Asa Ellis. Now vexed questions arise, chief of which are, Did Mr. Ellis have our original remonstrance in his breeches pocket at the time when, "with a smile that was childlike and bland" he calmly assured Maj. Strobel that it had mysteriously disappeared? Had he sold it to a Chinaman for wrapping paper? Had he laid it under the table? And how was it miraculously resurrected so soon after Mr. Strobel left? as Mr. Ellis immediately writes that he has carefully and for Los Angeles County, Henry Kroeger, John P. Zeyn, John Fischer, S. J. Davis, Oscar George and Henry Bremermann, who, each for himself, and not one for the other, deposes and says: That it has come to their positive knowledge, through a certain letter addressed to their fellow citizen Max Strobel, by Hon. Asa Ellis, a member of the Los Angeles delegation to the State Legislature at present in session at the city of Sacramento, that a bill for the abolishment of the charter of this city of Anaheim has been brought before the House and Senate and is likely to be acted upon by those bodies adversely to the desire of a large majority of the citizens of this city and only through the purloining of a protest signed by at least a two third majority of the taxpaying citizens of this city in favor of the retaining of the City Charter which protest has been renewed and sent on the 13th day of February A. D. 1872, by regular mail to the Seat of the State Government properly verified and attested and directed to the care of Hon. Asa Ellis. Now, we, the undersigned, respectfully ask the exercise of the vetoing power vested in your Excellency in order to have this suicidal scheme of a few designing individuals nipped in the bud.

Value of the Local Paper. We have just received one of the numberless proofs that are constant... of which are, Did Mr. Ellis have our original remonstrance in his breeches pocket at the time when, "with a smile that was childlike and bland" he calmly assured Maj. Strobel that it had mysteriously disappeared? Had he sold it to a Chinaman for wrapping paper? Had he laid it under the table? And how was it miraculously resurrected so soon after Mr. Strobel left? as Mr. Ellis immediately writes that he has carefully examined both the petition and remonstrance. And then again he says "I have concluded to pass the bill." Ah, this is indeed a great man who passes legislative bills, all by him self. He is the champion great man. Neither Mud Springs nor Oakland, nor New Jersey can produce a man like unto him. The President of the United States hath not such powers, he passes no bill without congressional votes. Newton Booth, Governor of California, must respectfully request legislative intervention before he passes a bill. Without the aid of their parliamenta Victoria of England can make no law, nor Frederick William add a new gesetz to the code of the Empire. Asa Ellis is a greater man than all those, He asks nobody's assistance, he is the Legislature, he passes the bill, he abolishes Anaheim. And he would charitably save us the trouble of making any remonstrance. Anything we could say would be of no account now. We were somewhat respected in September last, when our votes elected him and gave him the little brief authority he now enjoys. He has made up his mind to pass the bill, and after making way with our first remonstrance. Value of the Local Paper. We have just received one of the numberless proofs that arp constantly occurring, of the great value of a local paper to the country in which it is published. Mr. John Whalin, of Napa City, Cal., writes us that has seen in a San Francisco paper an extract from the Anaheim Gazette (the predecessor of the Southern California) in reference to the town of Richland. He is pleased with what he has learned and desires to know more, with a view of coming here to settle. Now this a result which this paper is every day accomplishing. It advertises the country abroad. It shows up the advantages of our soil and climate and the variety of our productions. It shows that people here are healthy, that our towns grow, and that the community is generally prosperous. We induce people to come here by showing them these facts. In this way we make our land more valuable, we increase the trade of our merchants, the number of visitors to our hotels, the business of every man in the community, and the value of all property. The public can afford to patronize us for this reason, if no other. Whoever owns an acre of land here ought to subscribe for the paper, whether he can read it or not, for its laborers are APPLEMEN TO THE Southern California ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1872. making him richer every day. Whoever follows any business present could afford to pay for an advertisement even if that advertisement in itself did him no good, because our efforts are bringing people here who become the patrons of those who advertise with us. Litigant Law Repealed. We learn from a special dispatch to the Star that the obnoxious Litigant Law has been repealed. Legal advertising pertaining to this portion of the country should now be given to the Southern California in support of our own local interests. CORRESPONDENCE. ANAHEIM, Feb. 16th, 1872. Ed.

Southern California:—In prosecuting a work committed to my trust, an opportunity was offered to me of looking a little into the moral status of Anaheim, and with your permission, Mr. Editor, a few thoughts will be thrown out touching on the subject. An effort is now being made to secure the division of the county of Los Angeles, and the formation of a new county to be called Orange county, it is the confident expectations if this effort shall be successful that it will be attended with a rapid influx of population and business to Anaheim. Now, while it is true that Anaheim possesses many natural advantages, in climate and soil and its adaptation to the culture of semi-tropical fruits and the facilities which are afforded for their successful cultivation, this of itself would attract many persons to the place and most persons, on visiting Anaheim, would be delighted in looking in upon the evidences of industry and thrift of the people, and with the taste with which their homes are ornamented. And yet there are some other things (which we could name) that will stand out like the "double flaming sword" that was placed at the entrance of the Garden of Paradise, and will be as successful in preventing the settlement of the better class of people in Anaheim if they are not obviated. It is the practice of almost all travelers, especially of those who have enjoyed the sanctity of the Sabbath and the ministrations of the gospel, to judge the moral status of any people by the character of their schools and churches. The entire absence of church spires and the sounding of church bells, always omens badly for the morals of any A Jordan, Geo F Kirsen, Los Angeles; Mr and Mrs Niles, Capistrano; Robert N White, Lew E Smith, Gilbert Huntington, Anaheim Landing; Jas E Bryan, Saratoga A Rowland, G A Gray, Rowland Ranch; J Forster, San Diego; F W Gibson.

It is the practice of almost all travelers, especially of those who have enjoyed the sanctity of the Sabbath and the ministrations of the gospel, to judge the moral status of any people by the character of their schools and churches. The entire absence of church spires and the sounding of church bells, always omens badly for the morals of any community. We rejoice to know, and take pleasure in saying, that the public school in Anaheim compares favorably with schools in other places. But the school building, the only one in the place, contrasts strangely with the dwellings of her citizens. As a general thing, we believe it is a custom in all cities and towns to have their church buildings compare favorably in taste and capacity with the private residences of the people. But we trust better things are in the near future for this nascent city; and we would here take the liberty of suggesting the propriety of having a public discourse delivered at some suitable time and place upon the subject of the influence of Christian churches upon the material, social and moral interests of any people. Tustin City—Mr. T. M. Rikert has sold his 14-acre lot adjoining Tustin City to Andrew Mills. Mr. Rikert has gone to Sonoma county, with his family, to remain a few months. C. C. Breyfogle has gone to Death Valley Mining District, to hunt up risk diggings from which he was formerly driven by Indians. Mr. C. Tustin has sold three more blocks to new corners. New Store—It gives us pleasure to announce the opening of a fine new store in the Anaheim Hotel Building, by two of our most popular and reliable young men Messrs Al. & Morris Steinhart. They are both well and favorably known in the community as gentlemen of the most prompt and honorable business character and have been prominently identified with some of our leading business houses for many years past. The former was once Agent of the Anaheim Lighter Co., then a partner in the firm of Heimann Steinhart & George, and more recently book keeper for Messrs P. Davis & Bro. The latter has been for several years a favorite clerk of Heimann, Steinhart & George and Heimann & George. Both are intimately acquainted with the wants of our people, and have already built up a business reputation that cannot fail to ensure them success in their new enterprise. Still Missing—John Ryan, who disappeared several weeks ago, when a horse belonging to Pollittus team was killed, near the Akamitos hatch, has never been heard from since. Various conjectures are entertained as to his disappearance, but as yet his fate is a sealed mystery. It is said that the dead body of his dog was found on the bank of the river, from which some infer that Ryan was swept away by the current and the faithful brass washed for his return until he died at his post. The Benefit Day next show everybody. We deal of pleasure the band and the reciprocation where the present is to turn out and enjoy moreover music and have oster and encourage. Gallatin—We thriving too last, and found ing as usual. We the public school owing to a want the present pop S. M. Geis, will be a drug store will Dr. Reaves, and whose name we selected.

If through before he pulled to record report or a chap for outside matters THE CARNIVAL.—It was our good fortune to be present at this magnificent entertainment at the Skating Hink, Los Angeles, Tuesday evening last. About 500 spectators were present (the Rink was perfectly filled and from 200 to 300 people refused admittance for want of room) and between 80 and 90 masked skaters appeared upon the floor. It was by far the most brilliant assemblage we have seen in Southern California. Messrs. Bent & Ralph have achieved a well deserved success in the conduct and management of the Rink, and no gentlemen could be more worthy of the golden harvest their enterprise has secured. PREACHING AT ENTERPRISE HALL —The Presbyterian congregation have secured the use of Enterprise Hall for religious services every Sabbath morning, and here- A MIDDLE.—To suppose that beautiful sign of Goodman & Rimpan’s was painted at San Francisco. It is hard to believe, we must admit, that a young city like ours can turn out such work, but you can see how it is yourself any day at the busy shop of Payne Bros. house and ornamental painters on Centre Street. SHOPMAKERS.—Bay stock as near home as possible, where the money paid will improve our own county. J. H. Wright & Co., of Los Angeles, keep the best varieties of leather and deal honorably with their customers.

PREACHING AT ENTERPRISE HALL—The Presbyterian congregation have secured the use of Enterprise Hall for religious services every Sabbath morning, and hereafter preaching may be expected regularly at 11 A.M., on each Sabbath.

L. P. Webber may be expected to preach. Subject next Sabbath. True manliness. What is it? MUSIC—The great leading music dealer of the Pacific Coast is M. Gray San Francisco.

Crawford, music by Prof Evana. "My mistress is dead, and I cannot sing! She has left me, we've parted forever, She's gone to abide with her heavenly king Shall I never again see her? No, never." STRAYED OR STOLEN—Our assistant editor has been lost for several days. We miss him very much for he was an able assistant, disriminating in his selections and sharp and cutting in his remarks. Although possessing a remarkably smooth and polished exterior he could be severe at times, and would make personal reflections if looked at too closely. He cost us two dollars and was of Westenholmes best manufacture. Whoever returns him shall receive our bless- paid will improve our own county. J. H. Wright & Co., of Los Angeles, keep the best varieties of leather and deal honorably with their customers. You will find them gentlemen in every respect, and they will make it to your advantage to trade with them. BUILDING—Messrs Hille & Menzel have commenced the erection of their new bakery building.

We all derive a great deal of pleasure from the music of the band and they deserve our hearty reciprocation when an occasion like the present is offered. Let us all turn out and enjoy ourselves, and show moreover that we appreciate music and have the good taste to oster and encourage it in our midst. Gallatin—We passed through this thriving town on Wednesday last, and found every thing flourishing as usual. We understand that the public school is about to close, owing to a want of funds, and that the present popular principal, Mr. S. M. Geis, will remove to El Monte. A drug store will soon be built by Dr. Renves, and another gentleman whose name we have forgotten.
