Southern Californian GEO. C. KNOX, EDITOR. SATURDAY ... APRIL 19 1873 L. F. FISHER 20 and 21 New Merchants' Exchange is authorized Agent in San Francisco COUNTY DIVISION (ESTRAL COMMITTEE) GEO. C. KNOX, Chairman, A. L. BUSH, W. H. SPHIDDON, E. W. CHAMPLIN. FOR MEMBER OF THE LEGISLATURE A. L. BUSH, OF SANTA ANA. The Commencement of the Campaign. In our local colonies are fully reported the proceedings of the mass meeting held in Anaheim on last Saturday. It was thought advisable by a portion of the assembly to defer making a nomination for member of the legislature for several weeks in order to more thoroughly canvass the eligibility of the several candidates. This movement however, was overrated by the majorities and A. L. Bush of Santa Ana, having received a two-third vote by light, was upon motion unanimously declared to be the choice of the people of this section for their next Assemblyman. This gentleman, as the Supervisor from this end of the county during the past year has by his earnest advocacy at all times of the people's interests won the public confidence to a high degree and by his honest administration of county affairs has proved conclusively that as a public servant he is deservedly to be trusted. If elected, he will carry with him to Sacramento, not only a thorough knowledge of the wants of his constituents by their crime. Although the administration has been culpable in listening to advice from men, ignorant of what they were saying, still the blame should not have attached to it, so much as to the officiers Howard and Colyers of the Eastern States. Though we deem that the proverb De mortuis mil mihi bonum should be rigidly adhered to, we cannot refrain from expressing the belief that were ministers of religion to confine themselves more strictly to their own peculiar sphere, to cease meddling in politics and to leave affairs of State, to the proper officers, it would accrue to the benefit of the nation generally. General Edward R. S. Canby, one of the victims of the Peace Policy, was a graduate of West Point in the class of 1839 and served with distinction in the U.S. Army during the Mexican and Civil wars. He was at the time of his death a full Brigadier General in the regular army. The Sacramento Record in commenting upon his character, describes him as 'Brave in battle, gentle in manner, upright of purpose amiable in disposition, firm in discipline, considerate in command.' As a member of the army of the Trans-Mississippi, which surrendered to him in 1865, and as a paroled prisoner under his military governorship in Louisiana we can hear testimony to the high estimation in which he was held by his quondam opponents and reiterate most heartily the enology pronounced by the journal above quoted. In the carrying out of a sentiment of false humanity the life of "a Christian soldier and a most noble gentleman" has been uselessly sacrificed. He can be but poorly avenged by the exterimentation of a hundred such tribes as the Modoc devils. From the Los Angeles Express, we learn that Gen. Crook in a general order dated Prescott, April 7th, announces 'The surrender of large numbers of Indians late The campaign has thus opened under the most favorable auspices. Our standard bearer has been chosen, almost without any opposition, and preparations are now being made to enlist in support of the division movement, recruits from the house of aspirants for the different county offices. It is well known by them that in our hands is the balance of power, that with us rests the fate of either point on party, provided we remain true to our services; this knowledge and their private interests will compel them to seek friendship and aid from a coalition, so formidable as an adversary. It is necessary however in order to achieve success, that the same spirit of concession and harmony which prevailed at the meeting of Saturday should influence our action in the future conduct of the campaign. Individual preferences should be laid aside, personal prejudices should be for the time ignored and with one accord our united strength should be given to the support of the man who represents not himself but a movement, the accomplishment of which is visually necessary to our welfare either individually or collectively. In unity alone is strength. With united soils we are certain of success. Bear these axioms ever in mind, press forward to the end in one solid phalanx and the claims which have so long bound us to tyranny and corruption will be most assuredly broken. Telegraph Line Between Anaheim and San Bernardino. About four months ago the project was agitated of connecting San Bernardino. From the Los Angeles Express, we learn that Gen. Crook in a general order dated Prescott, April 7th, announces: "The surrender of large numbers of Indians later hostile against whom military operations have been prosecuted for the past four months" and that he is assured by "The Chiefs and head-men of these tribes of their desire and the desire of their people to conclude a permanent peace." Since the murder of Swain and McDonald near Wickenburg, the entire military force under Gen. Crook's command has been actively employed in reducing the Indians to subjection. The disastrous defeat of the Tonto Apache by the U.S. troops under Major Randall near West fork of the Verde, was the finishing blow and since that time all the different tribes of Apaches except the Indians under Cachise have given themselves up to military authorities. The result obtained from the stern and relentless policy pursued by General Crook contrasts favorably with the peace policy, so strongly advocated by the religious advisers of the Government. On the one hand, physical prosecutions effectively quieted a race of people, notably incorrigible; on the other hand, moral suasion has sacrificed the lives of valuable public men and rendered outlaws a tribe of Indians, naturally inclined to peace. The late outbreak in Louisiana evidences the existence of a deep rooted and numerically strong opposition to the capping "Kellogg government." Kellogg was installed Governor by the Fede al soldier, and has been sustained in his position since by their bayonesa. President Grant is deciding in his favor did so on the ground that he had been elected by a majority. The inherent weakness of this usurper has been clearly demonstrated since his installation and his inability to sustain himself without Federal intervention proves the injustice done to Louisiana by the Executive decision. The President is speaking of the south in his inaugural address, stated: "That no Executive control would be exercised in any one of them in the future that would not be exercised in any other State under like circumstances." The words have hardly been uttered before he violeta his promise. Judicious advisors have caused the administration to make a most wotul mistake in its Indian policy. Let the President beware best the influence of his brother's law, a carpet barger in Louisiana should involve him in a much more serious error in his management of affairs in the southern provinces. Telegraph Line Between Anaheim and San Bernardino. About four months ago the project was initiated of connecting San Bernardino by wire with either Los Angeles or Anaheim. San Diego hearing of the project made a strong effort to have the connection made without it. Since that time the matter has been quietly looked into by the Western Union Company and the result is that Anaheim has been selected as the proper point from which the branch line shall start. Mr. Gamble the Superintendent of the Pacific lines passed through here on Tuesday en route for San Bernardino to make the final arrangements before commencing construction. Anaheim Landing will be materially benefited by the building of the line. The trade of San Bernardino and that portion of Arizona lying immediately east, will naturally follow the telegraph. By diverting trade to this point the revenue of the Lighter Company will be largely increased. Anaheim will also derive an advantage from the connection, and should see to it that no outside influence is exerted to change the present intention of the Telegraph Company. EDITORIAL NOTES. The Modoc farce has at last culminated in a tragedy. Eight days ago General Canby and the Peace Commissioners rode to their death, offering up their lives as an additional argument in favor of the extermination of the Indian race. Since that time the action of the Government in retaliation has been prompt and decisive, and as we go to press, the telegraph announces that the Modocs are slowly and surely receiving the punishment deserved THE MODOC WAR. Further Particulars of the Fight in the Lava Bed. (From the Express and Star.) The members of the family of the late Dr. Thomas, who was murdered by the Modocs, will leave with Governor Blaisdell to receive the remains at Redding. Col. Gillem telegraphs to Gen. Schofield to night that Lieutenant Sherwood died at 1 A.M. to-day, from the effects of the wound which he received when he went out to meet the Modoc flag of truce. He also telegraphs that seventy-two Warm Spring Indians had arrived at the camp south of Tule Lake, and would be disposed with the rest of the troops so as to cut off all possibility of escape of the Modocs. YREKA, April 16. Via CAMP SOUTH TULE LAKE. April 15. Mason's force is to move from Hospital Rock at 1 o'clock this morning and take position as near the Modocs as possible. The Warm Spring Indians to deploy on Mason's left and form a junction with the right of Miller's troops. It is not expected that the junction can be made the first day. The object was to hold each point again Colonel Perry's cavalry is ordered to move at 2 A.M. and form an amphibian and await the infantry. The movement doubtless have been hastened on account of the escape of Long Jim from the guard house. Mason's skirmish line opened fire at 6 o'clock, the shells bursting apparently over the Modocs camp, doing good work. Firing was then heard in the locality of the Warm Spring Indians. At 7:30 smoke showed the position of the BY TELEGRAPH. SPECIAL TO THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIAN. [By country of the San Diego County] Terrible Snow Storm along the Central Pacific Railroad. SAN FRANCISCO April 18th.—Two snow bound trains arrived at North Platte, everything closed behind them. The snow sleet and ice are almost impenetrable. No trains leaving Ogden for lack of care.

Coronel Perry's cavalry is ordered to move at 2 A.M. and form an amu- bounce-cade and await the infantry. The movement's doubtless have been hastened on account of the escape of Long Jim from the guard house. Mason's skirmish line opened fire at 6 o'clock, the shells bursting apparently over the Modoc camp, doing good work. Firing was then heard in the locality at the Warm Spring Indians. At 7:30 smoke showed the position of the contestants. The artillery and infantry are marching so as to encircle from the south of the enemy and join the right of Mason's line. At 8:30 Mason's howitzers opened on the caves, causing great commotion. At this time the caves were alive with Modocs. Occasional flashes showed they were active. Two Modocs have been killed. At 9 A.M. Perry and Miller joined flanks, ready to lap with the Warm Spring Indians. The signal is said to be Canby's coat waving in Jack's camp. 11 A.M.—Heavy firing. The men are covered and drawing near the bluffs. Gradually the fire grows heavier. The troops are getting within easy range of the enemy, who tail back. The main body of the troops deployed and double quicked in front of the bluff, preparatory to storming it. The right hand side of the ravine was carried in fifteen minutes. The possession of this point is a great advantage, as from it the caves and tortifications can be shelled. 12:30—A desperate fight progresses in Mason's front between the Warm Spring Indians and Modocs. Their yeas are heard over the lava beds. The tight now extends along the north side for half a mile. There is a halt for dinner Now and then a stray shot breaks the painful silence. Gillem telegraphed at this time to stir up on that side. So eagerly did the troops press forward that the buglers were compelled to sound a recall. In this charge Capt. Eagan and five men were wounded. 4:30 P.M.—Mortars have arrived at the advanced position. The troops are now ready. 5 P.M.—There is a heavy firing on Mason's line. Ten minutes later.—A mortar opens opposite the cave at a thousand yards distant. The Modocs are well at the visitors. Miller's and Wright's men have possession of the first buff. There are two more hedges to scale. The enemy is well in check. arriving today from Kearney brings fearful reports of condition of railroad and telegraph lines.
