Southern Californian GEO. C. KNOX EDITOR. SATURDAY MAY 17, 1873 L. P. FISHER 29 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. SPURGEON, E. W. CHAMPLIN FOR MEMBER OF THE LEGISLATURE A. L. BUSH, OF SANTA ANA. Inducements to Land Purchasers. In no portion of California are so many and such great inducements made to newcomers as are offered by the Los Angeles and San Bernardino Land Company. Ordinarily owners of property finding their lands coming into demand fix upon them a fictitious valuation which is constantly increased as the demand grows greater. The Land Company have adopted a uniform scale of prices based upon the real value of their lands, and unaffected by the activity of the inquiry. Their terms of payment are such as to enable every one—no matter how poor, provided he is hardworking and industrious, to provide himself with a homestead. One-fourth of the purchase money is required in cash and for the other payments, extending over a period of three years no other security is asked than the land itself. The interest demanded—10 per cent, per annum—is exceedingly moderate for California. The company exercise the utmost lenency towards their debtors, allowing them to secure passage, will make written application to me, deposit the amount of passage money with you, taking your receipt—an endorsement on the application as for example. "Paid $15, Langenberger & Co., and forward same to this office." On such application, I will send by return mail, enclosed to your address, a ticket for as near as possible, the berth desired. This is a small matter in itself, but it always in little things that true courtesy exhibits itself. It is at all times the duty of the journalist to give praise to whom it is due, and when, as in this instance, the words of commendation are so eminent deserved, it is a duty, the performance of which is most peculiarly grateful. The Best Plea Yet. Much has been recently written by the newspapers of the Pacific coast in favor of the introduction of currency into this State as a circulating medium. We have diligently "read up" on the subject, ever going so far as to walk through a two-column "gush" of our conferee of the World, but, either through personal observation or some other cause, remained unconverted to the new faith. The Chronicle has, however, at length succeeded in placing the matter in a nutshell. Opining that some of our readers may be gifted with the same obliquity of perception as ourselves, we quote for their especial benefit the reasoning, which causes us to join in the cry, "Let us have currency in our State." Of all the States in the Union, California alone maintains an exclusive gold currency. There are seven hundred million of money in circulation; California has something less than $30,000,000 and a gold. The foreign debts are payable in gold; interest upon bonds of government and of corporation held abroad is payable in gold; duties on imports are payable in gold; Americans traveling abroad must use gold exclusively. The result is natural. The End Justifies the Means. A resolution has been passed by the Farmers' Club of Sacramento, that a convention of the farmers of the State be called for the purpose of discussing the political situation, and to adopt some method of procedure, whereby the growing evils, attendant upon the control of the ballot box by capital and monopoly may be abated. The Los Angeles Star commenting editorially, upon the resolution, asks why the call is not made more general so as to include mechanics, merchants manufacturers, equally interested in the economical conduct of public affairs," and fearing that the Club is governed by a secret order, known as the "Patrons of Husbandry," opines that their action will not result in the good, which is desired. Although its remarks in regard to the bad influence exerted by the secret order of "Know-nothings," existing a few years ago, are in the main correct, may it not have been that the leaders of the party—men politically corrupt and unprincipled—and not its secrecy, caused the evil tendency of the order. It must be remembered that the spirit of liberty, now so extensively prevailing in Europe, was fostered and sustained in its infancy by secret societies. On the continent especially, the reins of government were held in the hands of the few, and, in order to successfully overthrow the equilibrium of despotism, it became necessary to strike in the dark and unexpectedly. In this countryside, possibly a common place for such activities, their terms of payment are such as to enable every one—no matter how poor, provided he is hard-working and industrious, to provide himself with a homestead. One-fourth of the purchase money is required in cash and for the other payments, extending over a period of three years no other security is asked than the land itself. The interest demanded—10 per cent, per annum—is exceedingly moderate for California. The company exercise the utmost lenency towards their debtors, allowing them to extend the time of payments at discretion whenever a failure to meet their engagements results from natural causes. Nature, too, presents with lavish hand inducements to the purchaser. With every quality of soil, adapted to the successful cultivation of all species of cereal or fruit, with one long summer, lasting from January to December, with the most superabundant supply of the great desideration of farmers—water, the wheat lands of La Habra, the fruit and vine lands immediately around Anaheim, and the corn lands of Westminster and Las Bolsas offer to the tide of immigration, now setting westward, unparalleled inducements to purchase and settle in the valley of the Santa Ana. The New Colony. Mr. Lockhart, one of the agents, sent on by the Indianapolis colony to examinj California and to select and buy suitable lands for settlement, has purchased the Rodriguez tract, lying about four miles from town and containing between seven and eight hundred acres. Mr L., before leaving San Francisco, purchased wagon and horses and came overland through the valley and plain of the Sao Joaquin, examining critically the country as he passed through. He found no land, worth of notice; until arriving in Los Angeles county and finally purchased the Rodriguez tract, as the best and most suitable land that had seen since arriving in the State Court. Furthermore, in the Express a few days since and a M Baker, now in San Jose, are in California on the same business and connected with the same association. They desire to build ten thousand acres of land, and as this purchase will undoubtedly be made in solid body, if practicable, we can safely say that Anaheim will number these new comers amongst its citizens. Editorial Notes. The jack-daw is divesting himself of the peacock's feathers and wishes to be again united to the society of jack daws. The editor of the San Francisco Chronicle writes the obituary of the Democracy What is the trouble? Will not the peacocks receive him? Or are there no longer any peacocks? Or is the gentleman, that inebriated individual who—Eustan says—fell out of the bus and finding nothing out of order, sought to excuse her erratic and serious conduct? All quiet in Louisiana! The man, who at Appomatax Court House pledged his honor and his word that a mistakepil, guided people should be again receive have been that the leaders of the party—men politically corrupt and unprincipled—and not its secrecy, caused the evil tendency of the order. It must be remembered that the spirit of liberty, now so extensively prevailing in Europe, was fostered and sustained in its infancy by secret societies. On the continent especially, the reins of government were held in the hands of the few, and, in order to successfully overthrow the equilibrium of despotism, it became necessary to strike in the dark and unexpectedly. In this country, power is rapidly becoming concentrated in monopolies and monopolists. Experience teaches that it is, not only possible, but extremely probable, that no material change, beneficial to the community can result from an open opposition of the masses. If the movement is headed by the loose and sinew of the country—the hard-working and honest-minded agriculturists of the different sections we see no reason to apprehend disorganization or other evils from secret action by them, believing, as we do, that to accomplish permanent good, the end will always justify the means. Commendable Attention. We have heard occasionally of complaints coming from other towns of a want of attention and courtesy to the traveling public, exhibited by the employees of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company; but we have never known, either personally or from hear-say, of such action on the part of the efficient agent at Los Angeles—H. McLellan. Judging from the zeal and genial affable manners, with which he performs the duties, incumbent upon his office, it seems to be his daily and hourly study to benefit the patrons of his employers, and to render agreeable their intercourse with each other. As an evidence of the spirit of accommodation which actuates him, we publish the arrangement effected with the firm of Langenberger & Co., to more thoroughly accommodate passengers by steamer to San Francisco from Anaheim and its vicinity. We quote from his letter of instructions to L. & Co. "The person desiring BY TELEGRAPH. (From the Express and Star.) San Francisco, May 14.—Evening.—The funeral obsequies of General Canby took place at 5 P.M., and were very solemn and imposing. The procession marched to the Oakland ferry landing, where the body was taken to Oakland, to remain there till to-morrow. John Devine was hanged this afternoon for the murder of Aug. Kamp. About 200 persons in the jail witnessed the execution. Devine made no statement. He appeared very weak as he ascended the scaffold. Father Speckles attended him to the last moment. About 4,000 assembled outside during the execution. Lieut. Harris died in camp, at the Lava Beds, on the 12th. His mother and brother were present. Surgeon Semig, wounded in the last fight, is rapidly recovering. The steamer Japan arrived to-day from China, and was sent to quarantine, as she had five cases of small-pox on board among the Chinese passengers. Her mail will be landed to-morrow. A Lava Beds dispatch this morning, says that firing was heard on Monday in the direction taken by the scouting party under Colonel Mason. Three hundred and seventy-five troops are scouring the area.
