Southern Californian. SATURDAY...JUNE 1, 1872 CHAS. A. GARDNER...Edr & Prop'r RAILROAD MATTERS. EDITOR CALIFORNIAN: — The papers have given full accounts of the two Railroad Meetings held in Los Angeles on the 18th and 25th insts, but there is also much in the history of these proceedings that does not appear in the published reports. The proceedings and results of the first meeting were decidedly satisfactory to me. The Committee appointed to negotiate with the railway companies, was, so far as I know of them, composed of good men, most of whom were not prominently identified with any railroad company. Their duties were to confer with the officers and managers of the companies, and ascertain which company would make an agreement to build a road, or roads, which would do the most to advance the interests and prosperity of the whole county, for the amount which was to be voted them by the people of the county, provided always that the people voted to donate or subscribe said subsidy. On the 25th inst. the Committee was called together, and from the very commencement of the proceedings, I became satisfied that at least two-thirds of those present were far the other part of the county to allocate and drive away them the best part of the city they are taking exactly the measures to effect it. Possibly think we are going in any and they design to steal as much possible from us before we go of their clatches. This "little of theirs is very good as it is but it is a saying among ap- men that "a game is never played out," and I pre- to ventilate the subject thoroughly before election day that the people can fairly understand who are trying to benefit, and are trying to rob this county. I, therefore, propose to the people of this county that the mand with out qualification or promise, for and in considerat- the five per cent. subsidy, a trunk line from San Francisco through the San Fernando and Cahuenga pass to Los An- thence by the way of Gallatin Anaheim up the Santa Ana r- San Bernardino; to be ext- to the Colorado river within years, also a branch from An- south to the county line o-way to San Diego, and another Los Angeles through the Mon- the town of San Jose. This honest and equitable, and I think, commend itself to favorable opinion of all whose ments are not warped by jealousies, and who do not their own private interests. advance the interests and prosperity of the whole county, for the amount which was to be voted them by the people of the county, provided always that the people voted to donate or subscribe said subsidy. On the 25th inst., the Committee was called together, and from the very commencement of the proceedings, I became satisfied that at least two-thirds of those present were far more anxious to make a good bargain for Stanford than for the county, and that we had the same one-sided, unjust and unfair scheme to fight that was squelched so promptly last fall at Anaheim. The Monte and San Gabriel had already five members these they increased to eight, adding to their number B. D. Wilson, who is well known to be the head center of Stanfordism in this county; thus they had as many as the country south of the San Gabriel river, which polls double the number of votes, and contains ten times the assessable property. Afterwards a sub-committee of seven was appointed; four from Los Angeles, three from San Gabriel and El Monta and none from our section. I at once, rather indignantly, demanded if this business was to be conducted on the old style—everything for Los Angeles and vicinity and nothing for the balance of the county. This caused considerable flutter in their camp, and they immediately added my name, but for fear they might not have a majority, also added Mr. Alexander, of Wilmington. It will be observed that Gallatin, Los Nietos, and Santa Ana were treated with the most sovereign contempt. I happen to know that this was intentional, because my name was mentioned to the Chairman as a proper person, before the meeting convened; and as, with the exception of Gov. Downey and Mr. Temple, I personally represented more taxable property than the whole remaining thirty members, the injustice and premeditated insult was glaringly evident. Of course I could do nothing with San Bernardino; to be exited to the Colorado river within years, also a branch from Antoine south to the county line one way to San Diego, and another Los Angeles through the Monterey town of San Jose. This honest and equitable, and I think, commend itself to favorable opinion of all whose mentions are not warped by jealousies, and who do not their own private interests general good. Wm. R. OLDANAHEIM, May 29th, 1872. Woman Suffrage Convention A call is issued (which we publish in full if space allows) a Pacific Slope Woman Suffrage Convention, to be held at Mile Library Hall, San Francisco Tuesday, June 18th, 1872, coming at 10 AM; to remain in three days, or longer if the should require. Distinguished cates of Woman Suffrage, by the Pacific and in the Atlantic have been invited to be presidents in its deliberations. Thevention is called for the purpure consultation, mutual understaffing and organization, and for the tion of a plan for future open with a view of securing such and national legislation as she deemed necessary to secure the suit desired. Woman Suffrageeties all over the coast are fully requested to send delegates individuals favorable to the convention is designed promote, residing in localities no working organization exists fails to commission a sentation, are earnestly invited present and participate in proceedings. "The Land to Live in" Under this head, our friend, the Fulton (N. Y.) thus notices an item of our published some time since, cone certain new potatoes: Such items as the following ped from the Southern Caucasian of April 13tn, read in the attitude at this season, make or for an abode in the climate such things are possible. New Music.-M. Gray, publisher, of San Francisco agent for the celebrated St. Pianos has favored na intentional, because my name was mentioned to the Chairman as a proper person, before the meeting convened; and as, with the exception of Gov. Downey and Mr. Temple, I personally represented more taxable property than the whole remaining thirty members, the injustice and premeditated insult was glaringly evident. Of course I could do nothing with a committee so constituted, but I was on a tour of observation and wanted to know what they proposed to do. Mr. Newmark, who had not been properly drilled, "let the cat out of the bag" at once, by proposing to give Mr. Stanford the preference. He was quickly hushed up, and the sub-committee adjourned after authorizing Gov. Downey and any other member of the Committee who was going to San Francisco to confer with the different railroad companies and report at a future meeting. As near as I could ascertain from the best sources, the Stanford party propose to build precisely the same road that Banning offered us last Fall, but possibly might do a little better for us than they offered then. But I told them distinctly that my section would accept nothing less than a main trunk line through Los Angeles, Gallatin and Anaheim, and thence up the Santa Ana to San Bernardino, and a branch from Anaheim to San Diego; and of course a branch from Los Angeles through the Monte to San Jose valley. This was fair, equal, and equally beneficial to all parts of the county. In ten year's time our section will contain four-fifths of the population of this valley, and if the people of NEWSITEMS. Sol. Warner of Los Angeles, has been appointed a Newary District. San Diego has spring. The waters of which resemble water. Sodom was destroyed because it was So-dam wicked. Los Angeles is afflicted with the measles. The National Democratic Convention is to convene at Baltimore July 16. It is thought that H. K. W. Bent of Los Angeles, will succeed Clarke as Postmaster. B-njamin Corey, of San Jose, appointed Trustee of the State Normal School, vice Waller, term expired. Two young ladies, Miss Robbins and Miss Welch, were accidentally drowned at Chico, 18th ult. The Grease supporters are called Democratic-Republicans. The Star favors the new party. The railroad company charge $21 per ton freight from Stockton to Millerton. Mule teams haul it for $30. Mr. Jonathan Bixby presented to the Congregational Church of Los Angeles an organ valued at $320. A consolidation of Eastern railroads is anticipated by which the Central Pacific will pass into the hands of Eastern managers. Messra, Sneath and Hopkins, the San Francisco Railroad Delegation, to St. Louis are in the latter city looking after the interests in which they were sent. The San Francisco Call recommends a Humanitarian Association for the suppression of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. The "Oregon Steamship Company" San Francisco & Atlantic R.R. The Bulletin of May and gives full text of the late action in this matter of the Committee of One Hundred; At a meeting of the Executive Committee of the Committee of One Hundred, held yesterday afternoon, the Committee on New Railroads presented a plan of organization of a railroad from San Francisco to the Colorado to be named the San Francisco and Atlantic Railroad Company, under the laws of the State of California and the details pane described and described upon. The plan entitled to corporation having a capital stock of $25,000,000, with a board of thirteen directors. The capital stock to be apportioned for subscription among the counties which have the right to aid in its construction, under the set of April 5th, 1870, in proportion to the amount of assessment rolls of the respective counties. Every tax payer in such counties to have the right to subscribe for an amount of stock bearing the same proportion to the whole number of shares set apart for the county as taxes paid by him for the fiscal year 1872-3 bear to the whole county tax for that year. All contracts for construction for materials to let to the host and lowest bidder, the road to be free for the use of trains of other companies on payment of tolls fixed by the Board of Directors. All aid or subsidies granted to the company under act of April 4th, 1870, shall be credited to the body contributing the same; no dividends exceeding ten per cent per annum on capital stock to be paid until such credit is extinguished. The proposed plan was adopted and the subject referred back to the Committee on Railroads to select the board of thirteen directors and organize them on Municipal Legislature and report at the next meeting. DIED On Friday, the 24th ult., at the residence Suffrage Convention. This issued (which we would not full if space allowed) for the Slope Woman Suffrage convention, to be held at Mercanary Hall, San Francisco, on June 18th, 1872, commencing Monday; to remain in session or longer if the occasion requires. Distinguished advocate Woman Suffrage, both in civic and in the Atlantic states, is invited to be present to its deliberations. The concludes called for the purpose of motion, mutual understanding organization, and for the adoption plan for future operations, view of securing such local national legislation as shall be necessary to secure the revered. Woman Suffrage society over the coast are respected to send delegates; and calls favorable to the objects this convention is designed to residing in localities where organization exists, or fails to commission a represe-nt, are earnestly invited to be and participate in its prolege Land to Live in." In this head, our valued Fulton (N.Y.) Times poses an item of ours, pub-time since, concerning new potatoes: items as the following, clip-in April 13tn, read in this lat-this season, make one sigh code in the climate where bugs are possible. Music—M. Gray, music of San Francisco, and the celebrated Steinway has favored us with the anticipated by which the Central Pacific will pass into the hands of Eastern managers. Messrs. Sneath and Hopkins, the San Francisco Railroad Delegation to St. Louis are in the latter city looking after the interests in which they were sent. The San Francisco Call recommends a Humanitarian Association for the suppression of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. The "Oregon Steamship Company" has been incorporated at Portland, to run a line between Portland and San Francisco and on the Columbia and Wallamet rivers. The Oakland News publishes a rumor to the effect that the Central Pacific R.R.C., the Bank of California and Milton S.Latham's Bank have combined to break up Alvinza Hayward, to prevent him from aiding the Atlantic & Pacific R.R.C. San Francisco papers are justly indignant because the Supervisors of that city accept passes from the C.P.R.R.C. and are therefore not supposed to be very zealous in guarding the city's interests against the encroachments of the monopoly. A BEAUTIFUL ALLEGORY. — Crittenden. of Kentucky, was once engaged in defending a man who had been indicted for a capital offense. After a powerful and elaborate defense, he closed his effort with the following striking and beautiful allegory; "When God in his eternal council conceived the thought of man's creation, he called to him the three ministers who wait constantly upon the throne—Justice, Truth and Mercy—and thus addressed them: 'Shall we make man?' Then said justice, 'Oh, God, make him not; for he will trample upon thy laws. Truth made answer also, 'Oh, God, make him not; for he will pollute thy sanctuaries.' But Mercy dropping upon her knees, looking up through her tears, exclaimed, 'Oh, God, make him—I will watch over him with my care through all the dark paths which he may have to tread.' Then God made man, and said to him, 'Oh, man, thou art the child of Mercy; go and deal with thy brother."

Mitchell tells us of Norway oats on his ranch which have already grown higher than his head, and are still going up—up haven't begun to head out yet, and there's no telling where they'll go before they stop. And now Mitchell feels bad because he don't know how he is going to climb up there to harvest them. A CORRECTION—A trivial typographical mistake in Supt. McFadden's communication, in our issue of the 18th ult., caused the erroneous use of the verb "to be" in the plural instead of the singular number, as it should have been to correspond with its subject. VIOLENT BLEEDING—We are informed that a little daughter of Mr. Boyle, living near town, was taken with a severe bleeding at the nose, last Thursday, and came near bleeding to death before the hemorrhage could be checked.
