Southern California. SATURDAY, APRIL 6, 1872. CHAS. A. GARDNER...Ed'r & Prop'r DEATH OF PROF MORSE. The telegraph brings the sad news of the death of one of the most distinguished men of modern times; of a man to whom America owes much of her greatness, and civilization is indebted for a large share of its progress in the 19th century. Professor Samuel F. B. Morse died in the city of New York on the 3d or 4th inst., (the date is not given) and was buried yesterday. He was near 82 years old, and lived to see his wonderful invention fully appreciated and used by all the world. Following is a telegram received at the telegraph office here: NEW YORK, May 4, 1872 To all Offices, all Telegraph Superintendents and Managers in the U. S. and Canada:—All that is mortal of the venerable and venerated father of the American telegraphic system, Prof. Saml F. B. Morse, will be consigned to the grave on Friday, April 5th. No expression or outward exhibition can give fitting evidence of the sorrow which his death has occasioned among those connected with the telegraph or within reach of its influence, not only in America, but throughout the world, but in token of respect to his memory some symbol of mourning should be exhibited in all telegraph offices on the day of A CHURCH BUILDING Every well regulated town have a church and a school There should be public place for the education of youth worship of God.

A simple rose or bit of crape will suffice. Wm. Orton, President. The office has been placed in mourning. The following sketch of the great Professor is interesting now. It is clipped from the San Diego Union: Professor Samuel F. B. Morse, the inventor of the electric telegraph, was lying at the point of death in New York city yesterday, and has probably passed away ere this. He was born in Charlestown, Massachusetts, in 1791, and graduated in Yale College in 1810. In early life he achieved a decided reputation as a painter, commencing his studies in England with Washington Allston, under whose charge he sailed from the United States in 1811. In 1822 he painted at New York a full length portrait of Lafayette, who was at that time visiting this country. In 1832 he began the experiments which led to the invention of the telegraph. In 1837 he filed the caveat for his invention at Washington, and in 1840 perfected his patent. In 1844 the first line of telegraph in the United States was constructed between Baltimore and Washington. Since that time Professor Morse has seen the system established in every part of the world. A few months since, in his 81st year, on the occasion of the erection of a statue in his honor in New York, he transmitted with his own hand a greeting to the fraternity of telegraphers throughout the United States.

Several important changes are made in the assessment of property by the provisions of the new "Political Code" approved on the 16th ult. All property must be assessed at its "cash value," and this is defined to mean "the amount at which the property would be appraised if taken in payment of a just debt due from solvent debtor." No more assessments are to be made in gross but everything must be set out in detail. The assessments must be completed on or before the first Monday of July in each year, instead of running to the month of October, as before. And on said first Monday in July in each year the assessor of each county is also required, under a thousand dollars penalty, to transmit to the State Board of Equalization a statement showing, 1st the several kinds of personal property, 2d the average and total value of each kind, 3d the number of live stock, number of bushels of grain, number of gallons of wine or liquors, number of pounds or tons of any article sold by the pound or ton, 4th when practicable to separate the value of each class of land, specifying the classes and the number of acres in each. The assessment having to be made so much sooner than heretofore, a large additional force is required to do it, and in conformity to the provisions of the act, the Board of Supervisors of this county appointed on Thursday last eight new deputies to assist the Assessor in his work. At Visalia, a second report on the morning of The San Diego Union stated that several new springs have their appearance in the hood of Oak Springs. The extent of the earthquake very great; reaching from go to the northern part of and from the sea to the range that backs the state East. The centre of its foot to have been in the Cerr country.
