Southern Californian GEO. C KNOX, EDITOR. SATURDAY ... MAR. 1, 1873 L. P. FISHER, 20 and 21 New Merchants' Exchange, is our authorized Agent in San Francisco The Probable Location of the Texas-Pacific Railway. During the past few months, pending the examination of the different railway routes between San Diego and Fort Yuma, many surmises have been made relative to the final location of the Texas-Pacific. The San Diego Press, wishing to be disconnected with San Francisco except by a coast road, have always asserted that the road directly East would be the one selected. As long as San Diego was the only objective point on the Pacific slope, there was a strong possibility that the line which they advocated would have been ultimately constructed. We have been shown, a few days ago, a letter, written by a prominent weal by citizen of San Francisco, and one who, from his intimate connection with the railroad men of California, knows of what he speaks in which it is stated that Col. Scott has nearly completed his negotiations for the purchase of the Southern Pacific railway, and will have in a short time for this coast in order to take possession of that road. Should this be true, the Texas Pacific will have on the Pacific Slope two terminal—one at San Diego and one at San Francisco connecting also at Los Angeles with the ocean via the Wilmington railroad. The distance from Fort Yuma to Anaheim through the San Gorgonio pass, is two hundred miles; from Fort Yuma to San Diego, one hundred and eighty miles; and from San Diego to Anaheim, one hundred miles—the route from Anaheim to Fort Yuma forming the hypothenuse of a triangle, which makes a right angle at San Diego. Eighty miles of railway would be moved on the line from Fort Yuma to San... have on the Pacific Slope two termini—one at San Diego and one at San Francisco connecting also at Los Angeles with the ocean via the Wilmington railroad. The distance from Fort Yuma to Anabeim through the San Gorgonio pass is two hundred miles; from Fort Yuma to San Diego, one hundred and eighty miles, and from San Diego to Anaheim, one hundred miles—the route from Anaheim to Fort Yuma forming the hypothenuse of a triangle, which makes a right angle at San Diego. Eighty miles of railway would be saved on the line from Fort Yuma to San Francisco and the valleys of the San Joaquin and Santa Ana, by adopting the route through San Gorgonio. Leaving this trunk-line at some point west of the pass, and following the route surveyed by the Fox party, the distance from Fort Yuma to San Diego would be lengthened about forty miles, without materially increasing the cost of construction. By the adoption of this route, the running time from San Francisco to the Eastern terminus would be reduced five hours, and eighty miles of distance would be saved in transporting the productions of the grain valleys of California into Arizona, whilst the time between San Diego and Fort Yuma would be increased but two hours. As it is evident from the purchase of Col. Scott, that San Frave sco is one of his objective points, we strongly incline to the belief that the Texas-Pacific will be constructed over the San Gorgonio route, making a small detour in reaching San Diego, whilst going directly to San Francisco. By reference to a map of California, it will be seen that a line of railway running from Fort Yuma through the San Gorgonio Pass into the valley of the Santa Ana, and thence through the Tebachapa Pass and the valley of the San Joaquin to San Francisco, effectually checkmates any attempt to be made in the future to construct another transcontinental road approaching San Francisco from the South. Should the Directors of the Thirty-fifth Parallel Railway make San Francisco their objective point, their line must connect with the Texas-Pacific, in the vicinity of Tebachapa Pass; should they decide upon San Diego as their terminus, they must intersect the Texas-Pacific at least one hundred miles from the ocean; in either case, giving the managers of the Texas road the control of their freight and passenger rates. Col. Scott is a thorough railroad economist, and these considerations will have as much influence in the final location of his road as will the prime cost of construction. He has now and will have for years to come but a slight interest in San Diego, and to compete successfully with his great rival—the Central Pacific—he must cut off its ocean connection, which they can only do by making one of his termini in the City of San Francisco. That San Diego, in the future will be a successful rival of San Francisco. New Advertisement Public Notice. To All Whom it May Cure YOU ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED that M.

All wares constantly in receipt of new goods. No Decline in Prices. The impression seems generally to prevail amongst the farmers of this section that grain will be held at a very low figure in the Fall. This is doubtless owing to their past experience during favorable seasons. They should bear in mind, however, that during the coming year there will be a large foreign demand. The terrible storms which have occurred during this Winter, in Great Britain, have completely destroyed its crops of grain, and, in consequence, England will be compelled to purchase its entire supply from the United States. The grain crops in other portions of Europe are short, and there is really no reason to anticipate a decline in prices. On the contrary, farmers may reasonably expect that the grain market will advance considerably above present quotations. EDITORIAL NOTES. TELEGRAPHIC. (From the Evening Express) Washington, Feb. 24—The Senate passed the Postal Appropriation bill on Saturday. The House passed the Sundry Civil Appropriation bill, and the River and Harbor Appropriation bill was taken up. It appropriates $150,000 for the Wilmington breakwater. An extra session of the Senate has been called by the President to commence on the 4th of March. It will probably last ten days. It is reported on reliable authority that Representative Bingham, of Ohio, will succeed ex-Governor Frederick F. Low, as Minister to China. The House has passed Coghlan's bill, fixing the third Wednesday in September, 1874, as the day for holding the next California Congressional election. It is rumored that the House Judiciary Committee will report articles of impeachment against Vice-President Colfax, though no trial before the Senate is probable before adjournment. No member of the House believes that the resolutions for the expulsion of Ames and Brooks, can secure even a majority vote, much less the required two-thirds. It is possible that a general resolution of consure will be passed, including all members implicated in the Credit Mobilier transactions. Juristics. ORANGE, LEMON, and LIME TREES.

GAREY'S SEMI-TROPICAL NURSERIES No member of the House believes that the resolutions for the expulsion of Ames and Brooks, can secure even a majority vote, much less the required two-thirds. It is possible that a general resolution of censure will be passed, including all members implicated in the Credit Mobilier transactions. The Webb Australian Steam Subsidy bill failed to get tacked on to the Postal Appropriation bill on Saturday. The friends of the scheme ascribe its failure to false reports that Webb had consolidated with the Pacific Mail Steamship Company. New York, Feb. 24.—The snowstorms throughout New England are the heaviest of the season. A false alarm of fire at Niblo's Theatre caused a great stampede on Saturday evening. It is proposed to raise a regiment of colored infantry in this district. London, Feb. 24.—It now transpires that Amadeus only abdicated the Spanish throne to hamilton's army, who he expected would recall him, when he would march triumphantly to Madrid at their head and be freed from constitutional trammels. The formation of a Republic surprised all. Washington, Feb. 26.—In the Senate, an effort to take up the report of the Committee on Caldwell's case was unsuccessful. The Military Committee reported adversely to House bill for relief to States and Territories for the issue of bonds in aid of the preservation of the Union. A special message was received from the President, reminding the House of that portion of the annual message referring to fisheries. The River and Harbor Appropriation bill passed; including all appropriations for Southern California previously telegraphed. Butler presented the report of the Judiciary Committee on Impeachment. The matter of the report criticises the view enunciated by the Poland Committee, and drawing House of that portion of the annual message referring to fisheries. The River and Harbor Appropriation bill passed; including all appropriations for Southern California previously telegraphed. Butler presented the report of the Judiciary Committee on Impeachment. The matter of the report criticises the view enunciated by the Poland Committee, and drawing an analogy between proceedings in impeachment and in expulsion, and asserts that no authority can be found for such doctrine. The power of expulsion for an act committed before the election of a member was not within the constitutional power of the House; less still could an officer be impeached for something done before he was in office. The Committee concluded that as far as receiving or holding interest in the Credit Mobilier, there's nothing in the testimony submitted to warrant the impeachment of Colfax. Butler offered an amendment to the legislative appropriation increasing the salaries of President and Congressman, and alter a heated debate it was passed. The Committee on Education and Labor made an unsuccessful attempt to report Geghlan's bill to prevent the immigration of coolie Chinese into California. Quebec, Feb. 26.—A bloody political riot occurred yesterday between Conservatives and Nationals. Two were killed and many wounded. General Merchandise.
