Southern California SATURDAY...JULY 12,1873 Stanford's Proposition At the meeting of the Railroad Committee of Thirty, held at Los Angeles last Saturday, the following proposition, as obtained by Gov. Downey from the Southern Pac. R., R. Co., was submitted to the consideration of the Committee. The Southern Pacific Company will build fifty miles in fifteen months from the time that the county of Los Angeles has had a favorable vote on the subdivide, commencing at Los Angeles, provided that favorable arrangements can be made with the L. A. & S, P. R. R. Co., which latter will be ascertained before the time of submitting the question to vote. The bonds will only be required as the road is being built. Whenever five miles are built, bonds will be issued for that amount as the five miles will be in proportion to the number of miles built through the County of Los Angeles. They will have nothing to do with any lateral roads outside of the main trunk, and will not be willing to give any portion of the subsidy granted towards the building of the road to Anaheim. This subsidy shall be an absolute donation, and the subsidy is understood to be five per cent on the assessed value of the real and personal property in the County of Los Angeles for the year 1872 which is supposed to be $15,000,000, less the bonds which have been already given to the Los Angeles & San Pedro Railroad Co., and the stock in which road held by the county will also be donated to the Southern Pacific Company. Our members, W. R. Olden Esq., and Maj Strobel (who appeared as proxy for Joo P. Zeyn) very properly opposed the proposition, as exorbitant in its demands and calculated to favor one portion of the country only. The proposition being considered too vague, Messrs Wilson, Olden Reading of the Declaration The Master of Ceremonies informed us due to the assemblage Mr. who, in an able manner read the mortal words of the Declaration Independence, and made a few propriate remarks. Mr. Ellis warmly applauded and three ringing, hearty cheers were given; with music by the band, the party betook themselves to the blues prepared by the patriotic band of San Juan Capistrano. THE DINNER There was an abundance of things, and nothing seemed for ten to please the palate. The tent with the weight of cold milk sandwiches, custards, cakes, pie confectionery, and near the great fine steer and sheep were killed roasted in the savory manner dear to the Californians. Near tables were the liquids; wine, and lemonade in abundance, and invitation was "Come one, come At intervals the band furnished music appropriate to the occasion. AFTER THE DINNER The company divided into numerous groups and amused them as their various tastes and fictitated. There were a number horse-races and some of the horses of San Juan were to be on the grounds. The festivities continued, unmarred by acci until nearly sundown, when all parted, in the best of humor, to pare for the fun in store for thening. NO DRUNKS Strange as it may seem, not Our members, W. R. Olden Esq., and Maj Strobel (who appeared as proxy for Jno P. Zeyn) very properly opposed the proposition, as orbitant in its demands and calculated to favor one portion of the county only. The proposition being considered too vague, Messrs Wilson, Olden and Rose were appointed to confer with the various railroad people and obtain from them definite propositions, and obtain a full explanation from Stanford. The committee were instructed, in compliance with a suggestion made by the chairman, to have personal conference rather than confer by letter. NOMINATION OF GREELEY, The news was telegraphed to us on Wednesday last of the nomination of Horace Greeley for President of the United States, by the National Democratic Convention at Baltimore. Following is the Star's dispatch: BALTIMORE, July 10.—Noon. Horace Greeley was nominated on the first ballot. Hon. James R. Doolittle, of Wisconsin, was appointed permanent President. 736 Delegates, were present in the Convention, being a full delegation from each State and every Territory in the Union. A few turbulent spirits have bolted the Democratic party under violent leaders. Brick Pomeroy is one of the chief instigators of the bolt. The bolters do not number over 100. Bolters have decided to meet after adjournment of the regular Convention. The "Fourth" at Capistrano: SAN JUAN, July 5, 1872. Ed. Southern Californian.—Our usually quiet little town of San Juan Capistrano was yesterday the scene of livelier times than were ever before known in its history.

The festivities continued, unmarred by acci until nearly sundown, when all parted, in the best of humor, to pare for the fun in store for the ening. NO DRUNKS.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIAN.—Our usually quiet little town of San Juan Capistrano was yesterday the scene of livelier times than were ever before known in its history. A number of its most prominent citizens, having determined upon celebrating the anniversary of our national independence in an appropriate manner, formed a committee and placed the management of the affair in the hands of our worthy townsmen, Messrs J. E. Bacon, Frank Escanilla, Vidal Arcía and Joan Sharp, gentlemen whose patriotism and well known good management of such affairs were sure guarantee that all would go off in good shape. THE CEREMONIES OF THE DAY Were commenced at sunrise by the firing of a salute from the big guns on the plaza. At nine a.m. GRAND PROCESSION Was formed, consisting of a large cavalcade, accompanied by numerous footmen. The wagons were filled with ladies and the horses decorated with flags and ribbons, presenting an imposing and pleasing appearance. The procession marched through the principal streets of the town to the sound of martial music by the San Juan band; halted and fired a salute before the hotel of Mr. Iler, who was unremitting in his eneavors to render things agreeable, and then proceeded, in splendid order, to a beautiful grove near the residence of Mr. Pryor, on his ranch, the Boca de la Playa, where everything had been prepared for the festivities of the day. OF THE DECLARATION. Matter of Ceremonies introduced assembles Mr. Ellis to read the introspection of the declaration of peace, and made a few appearances. Mr. Ellis was implanted (and three rousers) cheers were given; and, by the band, the whole took themselves to the tavern by the patriotic ladies in Capistrano. THE MINER.

Near the liquids; wine, lager made in abundance, and the was "Come one, come all." Is the band furnished muriate to the occasion. BETTER THE DINNER. Many divided into numerals and amused themselves various tastes and fancies. There were a number of us and some of the best San Juan were to be seen bounds. The festivities were unmarred by accidents, only sundown, when all deserved the best of humor, to preme fun in store for the ev- NO DRUNKS. RAILROAD. Mr. Ebornt: In reading an editorial in the "Evening Express" of July 8th, I find the following: "A member from Anaheim was naturally disappointed that no part of the proposed aid would be used in the construction of a branch road to that place, and seemed inclined to oppose the proposition in toto." Now Mr. Express I will inform you that not only Mr. Olden, but all the voters in this part of the county, will never consent to tax themselves to build a road that no one (except the ring) knows where it is to be located and the sooner this delusion is made known to Stanford & Co. the better. One would suppose by the terms of the Express article, that Los Angeles was going en masse for this absurd proposition to build 50 miles of R. R. not knowing where the money was to be used but such is not the fact. Los Angeles city will never "go it blind," and perhaps have a R. R. some ten miles North-east of her, there to build a rival city as in the case of Visalia. The people of Los Angeles and Anaheim will demand that the location of the R. R. that receives our subsidy that they locate certain points on the road before they ever get a vote for one dollar. It Stanford & Co are so green as to suppose they can dictate terms to Anaheim and Los Nietos, telling us they "will not be willing to give any portion of the subsidy granted toward the building of the road to Anaheim" that being the decision of them something of interest for our particular action. "Honace Greeley's Miner—We are indicted to the publishers, Homce Walters, New York for a piece of music with the above title, having a beautiful lithographed portrait of the "Sage of Chappaqua" on the title page. Do Witt C. Lawrence, in the Havilah Miner, is "keeping up his licks," getting out a good paper every week. He writes up Havilah well, and the people of that town should be well satisfied with their good fortune in securing so able a representative. The paper is neat, typographically, both in its "make up," and press work, and is a credit to its foreman, whoever he is. It has a fine showing of advertisements and rejoices in well-deserved prosperity. SANTA BARBARA TIMES.—This paper of July 10 comes to us as a semi-weekly. This is a good sign for the Times and the beautiful town it represents, and we congratulate, all concerned upon the improvement. We desire to compliment our neighbor, the San Bernardino Guardian, upon its neat appearance laterly. It is a vast improvement upon the old regime, and indicates a healthy spirit of reformation in that office. Best wishes. THE CALIFORNIA AGRICULTURIST—This neat publication is at hand for July.

THIRD DAY. cation of the R.R. that receives our subsidy that they locate certain points on the road before they ever get a vote for one dollar. It Stanford & Co are so green as to suppose they can dictate terms to Anaheim and Los Nietos, telling us they "will not be willing to give any portion of the subsidy granted toward the building of the road to Anaheim" that being the decision of the company. I will tell them, they will never get a subsidy from this county, we cast two-fifths of the votes and there is enough anti subsidy in other parts of the county to defeat any vote for subsidy on such terms. Again if Los Angeles does not want a connection with us by rail we know where we can get help—Wilmington will give us the right hand of fellowship and we will make a bee line for her. It will be but a short time until her harbor will be finished (comparatively speaking) and I say if Los Angeles does not think our part of the county of sufficient importance to assist us in making a connection we will try to help ourselves as we can. It is not impossible but our Landing may be so improved soon that the facilities for shipping, there will justify the building of a R.R. direct to it (only 12 miles) and be independent of Stanford & Co or any other Co. We have rights, which we shall not surrender, and Mr. Olden's course in the committee is fully endorsed here,and recieves our thanks for his just and able defense of our rights. OBSERVER.
