Southern Californian GEO. C. KNOX... EDITOR. SATURDAY ... MAY 3 1873 L. P. PISHER, 20 and 21 New Merchants' Exchange, is our authorized Agent in San Francisco COUNTY DIVISION CENTRAL COMMITTEE: GEO. C. KNOX, Chairman; A. L. BUSH, W. H. BPURGEON, E. W. CHAMPLIN. FOR MEMBER OF THE LEGISLATURE A. L. BUSH, OF SANTA ANA. Thermometrical and Hygrometrical Record for April. We present below to our readers, our usual record of the wet and dry bulbs of the hygrometer, prepared by Mr. Francis S. Miles of this place. APRIL, 1873. Taken at 8 a.m., 1 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. The publication every month of this record of the temperature of Anaheim has done more to correct certain misstatements that from time to time have been made concerning the sanitary advantages possessed by this section than could any in a clear and dignified manner the illegality of the returns made by the Negroes and carpet-baggers, further complained that this bogus state Government "recognized by President Grant, the executive of this great nation; and our people are commanded by you, his principal legal officer, to submit If they were an uncivilized people, accustomed to the shackle of dispotism, the submission which your command might be an easy matter; but they are Americans, like yourself, born and raised under the free institutions of this great country. They are suffering the most grievous wrong that can be done to them, and feel they have a right to expect the sympathy of the Federal Executive, the head of which has lately received from the people such distinguished evidence of their confidence." This appeal was disregarded by the President. Without investigation, without requesting action by Congress and entirely upon hear-say evidence, he arbitrarily adhered to his recognition of the Kellogg Government and has sustained it, since that time, by armed force in its oppression of the intelligent and free-born citizens of Louisiana. The result of his action is now before the people. A proper appreciation of the danger to Republican institutions, arising from an arbitrary exercise of authority by the Executive, will no doubt induce them to instruct him through their Representative that he is their servant and not their Owner and to publicly administer to him a severe rebuke for his obstinate and despot views. It has been proved conclusively time again, that regular troops were incompetent to affect any good in Indian warfare. A handful of Seminoles held Gen Seal and his whole force at bay in Florida, and it was not until the hardy frontiersmen Tennessee and Kentucky volunteered the services that the insurrection was quieted In Texas the United States troops were successfully defied by the Comanches and on The publication every month of this record of the temperature of Anaheim has done more to correct certain misstatements that from time to time have been made concerning the sanitary advantages possessed by this section than could any other method of refutation, supported alone by individual assertion. It is a record kept by a confirmed invalid, for his own especial benefit, and by him subjected to the most critical tests. He has kept a similar record of the temperature in the south of France, in Italy, in the Southern States and at Santa Barbara, San Diego and San Bernardino on this coast—in a word, at all the health resorts both of the Old World and the New. That he believes in the health-restoring qualities of our climate is evinced by the fact that, after many years passed in seeking the most beautiful locality, he has finally selected Anaheim as the point which most nearly approaches perfection as a home for the invalid. At the commencement of our connection with the CALIFORNIAN, Anaheim was almost entirely unknown, even on the Pacific Coast, except for its vineyards. It has been our endeavor, since taking charge of the editorial department, to give publicity to the manifold advantages, both of soil and climate, possessed by this locality, either for the capitalist seeking a profitable investment, or the invalid searching for a general climate. In writing concerning the climate, we have preferred to simply present to our readers this record and to allow them to judge for themselves concerning our climatic qualifications. The result so far has been favorable. Other journals on the coast and in the East have made note of our record; Anaheim has been brought into notice as a candidate for public favor and has already taken a prominent place in the catalogue of health-resorts. Probable Route of the Texas Pacific. It is now considered as settled that the route, which was surveyed directly East from San Diego, has been pronounced not practicable by the powers that be of the Texas Pacific, on account of its cost and on account of its location with reference to San Francisco. The question now is, which route shall be adopted to San Gorgonio Pass, the one passing up the Santa Margarita canyon and over the Temecula mesa lands or the one through the canyon of the Santa Ana river. We understand that it is the intention of the Crawford A project to establish wool sourcing works at some point on the Los Angeles water ditch has been agitated for several weeks past in Los Angeles. It is claimed by the advocates of the measure that, though wool after being washed by no chinery losses in weight, its increased value compensates the grower for this loss, creates for the section, adopting a method of preparing the staple for market, a reputation, which is highly beneficial to the pockets of the producer. Such is the case and we do not doubt the theory is correct, on the foot-North of Anaheim is the proper place locate the establishment. The Santa River has ten times the amount of wool contained in the Los Angeles river can be raised by conducting along hillsides to any height desirable. Anaheim is located in the centre of the producing section and through AnaLanding passes a much larger amount of wool than at Wilmington. If the wools should be established at Los Angeles, matter of course, Wilmington would ceive and ship the bulk of the yield. Anaheim Landing would proportionate be injured. It behooves the Lighter Company, therefore, to acquire into the mills and to interest themselves in obtaining the establishment of the machinery this point. However, no capitalist or mill-owner will give any attention to water-power, which is at the present time unable until we have devised... It is now considered as settled that the route, which was surveyed directly East from San Diego, has been pronounced not practicable by the powers that be of the Texas Pacific, on account of its cost and on account of its location with reference to San Francisco. The question now is, which route shall be adopted to San Gorgonio Pass, the one passing up the Santa Margarita canyon and over the Temecula mesa lands, or the one through the canyon of the Santa Ana river. We understand that it is the intention of the Crawford party, now at work near San Luis Rey, to continue their survey up the coast to the Santa Ana river and to make a thorough and complete examination of the last route. Assuming that San Francisco is one of the objective points of the Texas Pacific on this coast, and assuming that the company will eventually own the Southern Pacific railway, we are inclined to believe that the Santa Ana canyon route will be finally adopted. The same number of miles will connect the San Diego branch with the trunk line, either over the Temecula route or the one through the canyon. The Santa Ana route possesses the advantage of having less ascents and descents to overcome, and consequently can be built with easier grades at a much smaller outlay for construction. The only advantage which the other route can possibly claim is, that it is two or three hours nearer San Diego. EDITORIAL NOTES Affairs in Louisiana are becoming more and more serious every day. Latest accounts state that fighting still continues and that the Kellogg usurpation is still aided by the Federal authorities, in its attempt to place the white population of that State under the domination of a servile race of people, illiterate and uncivilized to the highest degree and totally destitute of any knowledge of either justice or humanity.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 29, Lava Bed, April 26. A reconnoissance composed of Batteries A and K, Fourth Artillery, and Companies C and E, Infantry, left camp this morning and proceeded in the direction of the present Modoc stronghold, Captain E. Thomas in command. The troops formed in line as skirmishers, and advanced without molestation until they arrived at the foot of the bluff south of the Lava Bed. On reaching the bluff the Modocs opened a severe fire, causing the troops to seek for such shelter as they could find in the crevices and chamms. As usual, the foe was unseen. The first position becoming untenable, owing to the fact that the Indians obtained both a cross and an enfilading fire, it was deemed expedient to retire to better cover. On the first fire and that received during the retreat, many tell, killed or wounded, so severe was the fire and so exposed the position. Up to 7 p.m., only one of the wounded could be got into camp. Later—Col. Green, who went to the aid of Thomas' command, shows the surprise to have been more complete that was at first supposed His dispatch states that Captain Thomas and Lieut. Howe [Howard?] were killed. Lieut. Harris was mortally wounded, Lieut. SPECIAL NOTICES. THE PEOPLES' CANDIDATE.

Lieut. Harris was mortally wounded, Lieut. Cranson is missing. Still Later. — There are now collected, awaiting conveyance to camp, sixteen men killed, including Lieuts. Howard and Wright, and eight wounded, including Lieut. Harris. The Molloys are known to be armed with Spencer carbines and with breech-loading muskets. A portion of Batteries A and K, Fourth Artillery, and Company E, Seventeenth Infantry, finding themselves in danger of being outflanked, took shelter in a hollow spot, affording partial cover. No sooner had they done so than the Indians, who knew every egress, and who at that point numbered twenty-one warriors, detached seven of their number to one side, fourteen remaining on the other, and opened a cross fire on the troops, who could not show head or hand without being struck. Very few escaped uninjured. It is impossible to give the Modoc loss. Meikay's Indians report having taken four scalps. The Indians attacked a freight train on the 20th. They were repulsed. San Francisco, April 29. — Dispatches of the 28th say that the reconnoitering force numbered seventy, and fourteen Warm Spring Indiana. The command had advanced about four miles and halted for rest, when the attack was made. The names of twenty killed, nineteen wounded, and four missing, and supposed to be killed, are telegraphed. A portion of the killed have been brought in. They are so horribly mutilated that it is difficult to recognize them. Dr. Semig was badly wounded while discharging his duties on the field. The Bulletin compares the slaughter to the Seminole war in Florida, and says that gross mismanagement was shown.

Dr. Semig was badly wounded while discharging his duties on the field. The Bulletin compares the slaughter to the Seminole war in Florida, and says that gross mismanagement was shown. Toronto, April 28. — A special from Fort Garry, Manitoba, reports fighting between the Blackfeet Indians and American troops. A large number of the troops were killed. The Indians are those who crossed the line to the number of seven thousand and are threatening the interior settlements and Manitoba. The Blackfeet Indians, located at the foot of the Rocky Mountains and between the Yellowstone river and the Missouri, is one of the most powerful and formidable in the western territory, and has been heretofore very troublesome. The Blackfeet number about 10,000 warriors, and are warlike and aggressive. No annuities have been given them by the Government, and they live mainly by hunting, furnishing large quantities of furs to the American traders, who have a station on the Yellowstone, at the falls. They have been heretofor great robbers and depredators. It would seem that the entire tribe has broken out into war, and that the troops no doubt but few in numbers, were very severely handled in the recent engagement. Washington, April 29. — The Indian Commissioners fear a rising of the Black River and Powder Hill Indians, should an expedition seek to open that country. Spotted Bill's band of Sioux are restless, because of the recent murder of some chiefs. No trouble is anticipated with the Nez Perces, Klamaths, Snakes or other Indians in the Modoo country.
