Southern Californian GEO. C KNOX, EDITOR. SATURDAY ... FEB. 15, 1873 L. P. FISHER, 20 and 21 New Merchants' Exchange, is our authorized Agent in San Francisco The Water Question. Before the late rains, the best method of raising means to construct a ditch, by means of which the whole valley, lying west of the Santa Ana river, could be irrigated, was the sole topic of conversation upon the streets. All were seemingly o much in earnest that everal tracts of land situated near the foot-hills, were sold: the parties purchasing feeling assured that the ditch would certainly be built. Since that time however copious and seasonable rains have fallen, making the prospect of an unusually large crop of grain almost certainty, and now that there is no necessity for the immediate construction of an irrigating canal, the subject is completely ignored. The experience of the farmers during the past three years should have taught them that they must endeavor to render themselves independent of rain, that good seasons they must prepare for the dry years which will undoubtedly come, and that their future success depends in a great measure upon an artificial supply of water. This indirect advantages which would accrue to the community—the increase in wealth, in population and in commercial importance—by the construction of this canal, have been ably set forth in a series of articles upon the manufacturing resources of the valley, written by J. M. Guinn of this place, and published in the Southern California. All, both in town and country, are cognizant of the correctness of Mr. Guinn's views; all appreciate the importance to each one individually of having a reliable means of irrigation, but, though all are ready and willing to assist, no one will take anything seriously at a law firm suffering damage thereby. With the result therefore, to a youth if he has never been actually undoubtedly neglected to me either a useful or an armament of society? It is not intended, the prime mover in the action case to come to trial. "Old Geignorant," illiterate old Greek foreigners, is very much averaged into a Court, under any consider has already been approached object of a compromise. Knowing the fact, we unhesitatingly pre-affair to be an attempt at black do not censure, but pity the who influenced by evil counsel himself to be made a cat trust that the real culprit, who is powerless to punish, may mediate and contempt which his richly deserves.

The California Vine Groweration of Sacramento have appointed Dressel, of Sonoma, to represent interests of California in the West to commence at Vienna on the next April. In a circular ad vineyardists, they solicit control of different varieties of wine and manufactured. We quote from circular. "We call on you, as an interest to contribute, say four bottles, or ricety of wine you may have on hand you may deem of sufficient merits bottles of brandy, if you have make up such exhibition, and same to me, at Sacramento, by or before the 20th instant.

The tion will, in this manner, make show than if each one sent a separate. we deem it to be his bounden duty to cen. sure in no measured terms, not only the act itself, but the existing causes which render possible such an attempt. Champerty—or the maintenance of a lawsuit, with an agreement to divide the thing in suit, in case of success—was, and is now, held in abhorrence by the bar of England. An attorney, suspected of such deeds, is looked upon with scorn and contempt; an attorney, proved guilty of the practice, is stricken from the rolls and soon sinks to the level of the lowest classes. We believe that the same rule holds good in most of the Eastern States; but California: like all new countries, has still to eradicate many evil customs, of which this is one of the most pernicious in its effects. There are but few of the old residents of this State who do not remember some instance wherein a lawsuit, instigated by some shrewd, unscrupulous pettifogger, has involved in ruin innocent and unoffending parties. Only a few months ago a man of the vilest antecedents, whose only aspiration was to be a vampyre upon the dregs of society, brought suit against a citizen of this town for defamation of character. The allegations made in the complaint would have held equally good against any resident of the place, for there was but one opinion about his character. To save the trouble and expense of a lawsuit, however, the matter was compromised—which was all that the vampyre and his legal statellite desired. At present, there is another libel suit of the same kind in progress. Geo. Miller, the proprietor of the Star restaurant, was robbed, a few weeks ago, and, just after discovering his loss, accused young Calisher of stealing the money. For this, Calisher sues Miller for defamation of character, laying his damages at ten thousand dollars. This young man, who has assumed the name of Calisher, without a legal right to do so, has evidently been badly advised. No one, not even the most upright, can submit their character to the TELEGRAPHIC. (From the Evening Express.) San Francisco, Feb. 11.—Last night there was a fire in Sage's coal oil warehouse. Loss, $80,000. The annual report of Los Angeles and San Pedro Railroad, for the past year, has been received and filed in the Secretary of State's office.
