Southern California GEO. C. KNOX EDITOR. SATURDAY ... AUGUST 2, 1872. L. P. FISHER, 20 and 21 New Merchants' Exchange, is our authorized Agent in San Francisco. OUR POSITION. In the present campaign, party lines have been so entirely ignored, local questions have been so completely hidden in personal and individual issues, and matters political have assumed generally so complicated a complexion that we find it necessary, in order to retain our position as an independent journal devoted solely to the interests of our community, to eschew politics and local questions altogether, and to devote ourselves as heretofore to the advancement of the general interests of this section. Of course individually we have formed opinions in regard to the qualifications of the rival candidates. Where those opinions do not conflict with the duty, which we owe to our patrons, we shall feel no hesitancy in giving them from time to time expression. In this end of the county preference is given to Dr. C. W. BUSH of Los Angeles for Senator, THOS E. ROWAN for Treasurer, A. W. PORTS for Clerk W.R. ROWLAND for Sheriff, S. H. MORT for Recorder and FRANK LECOUVREUR for County Surveyor. As we can conscientiously endorse these gentlemen, as worthy of public confidence, we shall not hesitate to present their claims to our friends and will cast in their favor what amount of influence we may possess. "TIS STRANGE. BUT TRUE." It is a singular thing—and at the same time a strong argument in his favor—that nothing has ever been so entirely ignored, local questions have been so completely hidden in personal and individual issues, and matters political have assumed generally so complicated a complexion that we find it necessary, in order to retain our position as an independent journal devoted solely to the interests of our community, to eschew politics and local questions altogether, and to devote ourselves as heretofore to the advancement of the general interests of this section.

As we can conscientiously endorse these gentlemen, as worthy of public confidence, we shall not hesitate to present their claims to our friends and will cast in their favor what amount of influence we may possess." IT IS A SINGULAR THING—and at the same time a strong argument in his favor—that nothing can be said against Mr Rowan, one of the candidates for the Treasurership, except that he is in the employ of the Farmer' and Merchants' Bank. He is admitted to be a gentleman of great personal popularity, of courteous and engaging manner, and of incorruptible integrity; he has served the county well and faithfully for four years, as the custodian of their moneys; no fault can be urged against him, either as a man or public officer; but all at once Handsome Ben, who came to California, no matter how or when" makes the discovery that Hellman and Downey intend to gobble up the Treasury, and starts out with his dark lantern to find—what, we are told, is rather difficult in California—a man, who had been honest for thirty-two years. We do not wish to be understood as desiring to detract in the slightest degree from the merits of Mr. Temple his antagonist. The latter is a gentleman, eminently worthy of all the respect and love, which his friends accord to him. We only desire to intimate in the most delicate manner possible, that in our opinion, and in the opinion of a majority of the voters of Los Angeles county, "H.B." has been suffering with an entirely unnecessary spasm of rituous fear. THE SAN BERNARDINO TELEGRAPH LINE. We are informed by Messrs. McGill and Wilson who have just returned from San Bernardino, that they have selected, and will report favorably upon a line of telegraph, extending from Anaheim through the Xcalahon to Shaughnessy, and thence on an air line to San Bernardino, passing a short distance to the north of the Jurupa hills. If this line is adopted Anaheim will be made a repeating office and will derive much benefit from the increased impetus always given to trade, at a terminus of either a railroad or telegraph line. Had it have been considered necessary or important to have made Los Angeles the terminal, a more direct route would have been adopted, as on an air line from Los Angeles to San Bernardino are situated the villages of El Monte and Spadia, which would have been materially benefited by being placed in connection with the outside world. The chief reason which induced the company to select Anaheim as their terminus, was on account of the economy which could be used in construction, the route, as mentioned above, being fifteen or mission of new and more atrocious crime Teaching thus by silence and indifference instruction, it is only when ingredient of the poisoned chalice is were, held to our own lips, that we shiver in abhorrence. It is only when some occurrence as the Chinese massacre at Angeles brings forcibly home the insect of life, that we indignantly protest against the freedom allowed to ruffianism. We must confess to a slight feeling surprise that no comment was made by press of Los Angeles upon the shame scene enacted in that city on last Tuesday. In broad open day-light upon the street, an officer of the law, whose worth and official efficiency have worked respect and love of the good and of what word of censure can justify be spoken was attacked by a man whose only oath notorious rests in his boast, that human lives await his presence at that of the Eternal to brand him as a murder and whose hand is yet reeking with blood of an officer of the city of Los Angeles. There appeared to be but one opinion in regard to the affair, but as yet public expression has been given to opinion. We believe it to be the pro- of the journalist, to express, in an fearless manner, the public sentiment regard to a criminal action. When action is one striking so directly as welfare of society, we co sider it to be only his province, but his bounden Believing such to be the case, we unified condemn the act. We grieve to laxity in administering justice and take leniency has brought upon our country generally such evils and that we not be classed amongst the lawless munities of the United States, we name of the people. call the attentive prosecuting officer of the county to existence or ruffianism in our midst. SANTA CATALINA ISLAND We learn from a gentleman, just turned from Santa Catalina, that the engineer present engaged in an examination of that island, will complete their labors to day and will reach Los Angeles on Monday or Tuesday. The result of their investigation its mineral deposits will make public immediately, as it requires little time to properly prepare report and forward it to Europe. A feature in regard to the island has developed however, and that is, that admirably adapted for the growth of grape. Its situation, its soil and its mate are remarkably similar to that Island of Madeira and it is beverage experts that a wine resembling Xeres or Madeira wines can be successfully produced in its future vineyards. California is truly a wonderful con- THE SANTA MARGARITA COLONY The colonization scheme of Don Juan Forster is in a fair way of approaching a successful conclusion. We undersand that upon the return of that gentleman from the island of Santa Catalina, he will have commenced the sub-division of the lands upon which he proposes to locate the colony. It is his intention to present to the head of each family a certain number of acres of land reserving for himself each alternate lot. He will also furnish them with farming utensils, live stock and all necessaries to place in cultivation their farms. Don Juan Forster is one of the few old residents of California, who has kept pace with the age, and who has by his enterprise and energy, assisted materially in enlarging the growth of Southern California and in developing its resources. The San Francisco Bulletin, a journal whose columns are especially partial to Southern California, in a taking of this colony, concludes its article as follows: "The success with which the colonies in the southern portion of Los Angeles county have been attended gives to this projected one an encouraging outlook. The prospects are that they will prove equally as remunerative to the present owner of the land as to the colonists, quadrupling the value of the land the former will retain and giving the latter comfortable homes. The large landed proprietors of the balance, of the State might imitate the example thus set by Don Forster, and profit by it." Don Juan has no doubt received already the reward for which he has labored in the encomiastic terms in which he is mentioned by the preamble of the State, and in being considered one of the representatives men of his day. We trust however, that the prophecy of the Bulletin may prove true and that he may receive a pecuniary reward as well for his practical philanthropic labor. CREDIT TO WHOM IT IS DONE No one has a greater admiration personl bravery, especially when tempered with coolness and presence than ourselves and although we approve, as a general thing, of praise. Nevertheless we can not from speaking of the man bearing worthy Sheriff, Mr. Rowland during assault upon him on last Tuesday Los Angeles. Courage coolness and bearance are three qualities which are essential to make an efficient officer of the law. That he possesses first two qualities, no one who with his unflinching deportment in what unquestionably a close place, can that he possesses the last in an degree, he demonstrated conclusively not killing his dastardly antagonist people of Los Angeles county have to congratulate themselves upon it as their Sheriff, so able and qualified for a gentleman. That they claim him, is conceded in the fact that has been selected to oppose him candidly for re-election. FROM THE EXPRESS AND STAR. San Francisco, July 30. — The police to-day unearth a secret society known as Hip Yee Tong, organized for the purpose of perpetrating the nefarious traffic in Chinese females, for purposes of prostitution. The discovery is causing great excitement, and there is renewed indignation against the Chinese generally. It seems that one Yat Sung, having married a Chinese girl whom he had known in China, and who had but a short time before made her escape from a brothel, was secretly arrested by one of the detectives of the Hip Yee Tong, and commanded, under penalty of instant death, to pay a fee of $350 for the girl above mentioned. This he agreed to do; but, on the contrary, he made his way to the police headquarters and gave information that secured the arrest of the Society, who are charged with conspiracy. The Society, it seems, is very strong; there being more than 350 members, and includes some of the leading Chinamen in the city. New York, July 30. — A report is current that Boss Tweed has escaped the new indictment. The grand jury indicated Tweed, Ingersoll and W. E. King, Tweed's secretary, but The Society, it seems, is very strong; there being more than 350 members, and includes some of the leading Chinamen in the city. New York, July 31—A report is current that Boss Tweed has escaped the new indictment. The grand jury indicted Tweed, Ingersoll and W. E. King, Tweed's secretary, but Tweeds' name was omitted. Ingersoll and King have fled. Payette, Mo., July 30—The cholera is still raging in this place. There are 14 deaths reported since Saturday principally among the negroes. Madrid, July 30—Almeria is still threatened with a bombardment; a large British squadron is expected to arrive off the Spanish coast. Paris, July 30—It is reported that MacMahon will retain the Presidency but six months longer when he will resign. It is reported that monarchy will succeed the Republic. Rome, July 30—The Pope laid aside his crutches and resumed his upright posture. Madrid, July 31—Correspondents of the papers here state that the massacre at Alcoy was the most revolting spectacle of modern times and dreadful to say, many of the women took conspicuous parts. Men were beheaded and thrown from the balconies of high buildings. A large number of captives were stripped naked, and then mutilated by musket balls, in the most shocking manner. Another crowd had their clothes saturated with coal oil, and were set on fire and shot at. The defenders of the town hall were all captured and beheaded. The insurgents have set fire to Seville, after having poured several barrels of petroleum into the finest buildings. The attack on Almeria was finally repulsed. Turkey, July 30—The Sultan orders a council to devise a scheme.
