Southern California SATURDAY ... AUGUST 30, 1873 Kleinigheiten, The polls will be held at the office of the Anaheim Water Company. Episcopal services will be held at Enterprise Hall on to-morrow by the Rev. Mr. Luke of San Gabriel. There is a message at the Telegraph office for Wm. Leaman, care of Mr. Mansal. A political meeting, school festival and ball will be held at Los Nietos today. If our friends, the candidates, want any tickets printed, they would do well to send in their orders to-day. There was a delightful picnic at the Santiago Cañon last Sunday. A small party will invade the quiet of the same place, to-morrow. Reiser has sold his windmill and Polhemus has rented his butcher shop. Such are the melancholy results of advertising. The Catalano Concert will positively take place this evening. From what we can learn, we judge that "ye first wh come, will gette ye beste seate." We are constantly adding new styles of type to our already large assortment. Every description of job printing can now be neatly and cheaply executed. A New Feature—On Wednesday evening, a large crowd assembled at Enterprise Hall to witness the "Tableaux Vivants" given by the Ladies' Social Club of Anaheim. The little folks were out in strong numbers, and by their evident enjoyment of what was to them a novel amusement, added largely to the pleasure of the "grown-up" people. The tableaux were "The wounded soldier," "The bashful lover," "Mrs. Jarley's Wax-works," "Othello and Desdemona," "The Godess of Liberty" and "Mary, Queen of Scots, with her maids of honor." The entertainment was varied by a recitation "Keeping his word" prettily rendered by little Miss L., and songs by Mrs. H. and Miss Minnie C. We regret that we can not notice at length the performance. Taking into consideration the short time allowed for preparation, every feature of the entertainment was a marked success, and we are actually at a loss to decide which scene was the best. The Club proposes to give tableaux once in every month. By so doing, they will undoubtedly add largely to the attractions of Anaheim and will increase greatly the sociability and good feeling, already existing to so eminent a degree.

Every description of job printing can now be neatly and cheaply executed. Chas. G Johnson was Secretary of a Greeley Club in Anaheim. Result—Republican majority in a Democratic precinct. Chas. G. Johnson is President of a Temple Club in Los Angeles. Result—Total annihilation of Temple. We have just filled an order for 1000 copies of the Thermometrical and Hygrometrical observations of Mr. F. S. Miles, which was published in this paper two weeks ago. Mr. Olden had them printed for distribution throughout the East. The Board of School Trustees, have decided to rent the store underneath the Masonic Hall, to use as a Primary school, the accommodations at the school house being greatly deficient. The rental, we believe, is $240 a year. The brig Curlew, which arrived at San Pedro last week with a cargo of crossties for the Southern Pacific Railroad, has been chartered by Frank Lafaucherie and is now at Anaheim Landing, loading with 5000 sacks of grain. We saw a bill of sale of a horse yesterday, which is a curiosity in its way. After giving the usual description, it wound up by guaranteeing that the horse was "put up in as good a form as the Horse-maker makes horses." Gen. Nathan Kimball and D. M. Berry, the gentlemen who are looking for a site for the Indianapolis colony, are in San Diego. They will be in Anaheim in a few days. Mr. J. H.

This however, is erro- ANAHEIM TURN VEREIN.—The members of this Society met on Monday evening. The meeting was called to order by R. Melrose Esq. The following gentlemen were elected to fill the different offices; S. J. Davis, President; A. G. Beebe, Vice President; M. Steinhart, Secretary; F. Langenberger, Treasurer; Arther Heimann, Leader, and Messrs R. Melrose, R. Heiman, and Geo F. Miles Board of Directors. Messrs Heiman, Steinhart and Langenberger were appointed a committee to draft a Constitution and By-laws. The Board of Directors were instructed to procure all the apparatus, which in their judgment was necessary. The meeting then adjourned to Thursday evening when a Constitution and By-laws were adopted. The Club has met with great success so far, it having a membership of twenty five. We have no doubt, that as soon as its object is known and understood, the membership will be doubled. Those desires of joining the club can leave their names with M. Steinhart. EPISCOPAL SERVICE.—On last Sunday, the few members of the Episcopal Church, living in and around Anaheim, were favored in being permitted for the first time to attend Divine worship under the direction of a minister of their Church. A mission, embracing the counties of Los Angeles and San Bernardino, has been established, and the Rev. Mr. Luke of San Gabriel has been selected to take charge. Services will be held in Anaheim on two Sundays in every month. This is the first step towards the established of a permanent house of worship under Episcopal direction in our midst, and it rests with those who approve the teachings of that best to decide which scene was the best. The Club proposes to give tableaux once in every month. By so doing, they will undoubtedly add largely to the attractions of Anaheim and will increase greatly the sociability and good feeling, already existing to so eminent a degree.

Baker, the Superintendent of the projected colony is in Los Angeles. An impression seems to prevail that a citizen may vote at any precinct where he may be at the time of election. This however, is erroneous. Section 1230 of the Political Code expressly states that the voter must have resided in the precinct for at least thirty days previous to the election. From a gentleman recently arrived from the Arlington mines, we learn that everything looks encouraging. A Los Angeles company are now erecting smelting works. A few days ago a miner named Shelly stumbled on a hundred dollar nugget. The necessity of having an honest Board of Supervisors is apparent to every one. We of the 4th Supervisor District are fortunate in having such good men to choose from. With either Evey, McFaddon or Taylor to represent us, we feel assured that our interests will be faithfully looked after. On Wednesday, we saw the most handsome bovine we ever laid our eyes on. The animal in question is the property of Mr. J. K. Tuffree, who received it as a present from his father-in-law, in San Francisco. The cow is a mixture of the celebrated Alderney and Durham breed, is of immense size, and only three years old. Her half sister sold for $300 a few weeks ago, although inferior in many respects to this one. Los Angeles and San Bernardino, has been established, and the Rev. Mr. Luke of San Gabriel has been selected to take charge. Services will be held in Anaheim on two Sundays in every month. This is the first step towards the established of a permanent house of worship under Episcopal direction in our midst, and it rests with those who approve the teachings of that denomination, to prevent the seed, thus sown, from being cast upon stony and unfruitful soil. We trust that "the laborer may be approved worthy of his hire" and that the Episcopalians of Anaheim may, in emulating the example of other Protestant denominations of this place, offer substantial encouragement to this attempt to administer to their spiritual necessities. SAN BERNARDINO TELEGRAPH. Mr. Coons of the Western Union Telegraph Company is busily engaged laying the wire of the telegraph line between this place and San Bernardino. On yesterday he completed the line from a point one and one half miles distant from town to the office here, and on Monday will commence the work in good earnest. SEE TO IT.—See to it that your own name and the name of your friend is on the Great Register. It don't look well for any man to be indifferent during an important campaign like our own. See to it that the names of all voters are on the Great Register, and that all whose names are on the Register vote for T. E. Rowan, S. H., Mott, and J. M. Guinn. All that we wish is to help us that has confiars for year representation county; give for public imminent individuals would be well worked for, as magnificent road communities that we that city will miles over a road, in the mud.

Editor Southern Californian: It is evident to me and to all fair-minded citizens of this county, that the Los Angeles Star and Evening Express are doing all they can to elect a State Senator and two Assemblymen that will be in favor of granting the Southern Pacific Railroad Company further time to complete the first fifty miles of road to be built in this county. The railroad company made us a proposition specifying a certain time in which to build fifty miles of road in this county, and upon that proposition, the people voted the company a subsidy of one twentieth of all the taxable property in the county, and it is the opinion of all good citizens that the company should be compelled to comply with the terms of the contract made with the people, or forfeit the subsidy. But if Asa Ellis, the nominee of the Democratic party for State Senator, should be elected, the railroad company could get an extension of all the time they would ask for, provided the Governor did not veto the bill. The record of Mr. Ellis in the last legislature, clearly proves his friendship for Stanford & Co., whereas Dr. Bush, his opponent, is a man of the people, and for the people, and is opposed to monopolies and exorbitant taxation. Captain Stanley (a very honorable person) for legitimate purposes and not transferred to the pockets of a favored few, in the shape of fat contracts or otherwise. Then we will be satisfied to remain in and as portion of Los Angeles county. In regard to A. L. Bush, the independent county division candidate for the Assembly. He pledged himself at a meeting of the citizens held here last April, that, if he did not receive the nomination of the Republican party, he would withdraw in favor of any person from this section, that should get the nomination and endorsement of the people; and a good many think that Mr. Bush is acting in very bad faith in forcing himself into the race for the purpose of dividing the vote and defeating Mr. Guinn. Mr. Bush is a very honest gentleman, incorruptible and unpurchasable as his past record will show, and a good citizen and faithful worker for political reform, yet I think he is standing in his own light in the present campaign. It is true that he has many friends that under any other circumstances would vote for him, but the most of these men will also vote for Mr. Guinn and the balance of them, I suppose, will vote for Gen. Jackson, as the other candidate. They seem to be men who cherish an idea, for ever, when once they get one in their possession. A MEMBER OF THE REFORM PARTY. "Citizens" Reply to "Tax-payer."

Had Mr. Stanley waited two years and the People's party succeeded in breaking up the king rule in this county, he could then receive the nomination for the office he now seeks. At this time he takes no votes from Ellis but all from Dr. Bush, but from present appearances here, his vote will be light. In fact I know of only three Stanley men here, and two of them are doubtful. For the Assembly, a few here favor Mr. Workman, but nearly all oppose Mr. Venable, believing that he is running in the interest of the Southern Pacific railroad. Mr. Higbie is very favorably spoken of and will get a good vote here. Mr. Guinn, who is almost the unanimous choice of the people here, was selected on account of his honesty and integrity and his faithful adherence to and advocacy of the rights of the people against rings and monopolies. Mr. Guinn did not seek the nomination, but was chosen on account of his many sterling qualities, without being asked for any pledge in the convention or since his nomination. The Los Angeles Star and many people in the northern and western portion of the county oppose Mr. Guinn, believing him to be a county division candidate. But such is not the case A. L. Bush was before the convention as a county division candidate and failed to receive the nomination. There is no doubt in my many friends that under any other circumstances would vote for him, but the most of these men will also vote for Mr. Guinn and the balance of them, I suppose, will vote for Gen. Jackson, as the other candidate. They seem to be men who cherish an idea, for ever, when once they get one in their possession. A MEMBER OF THE REFORM PARTY. "Citizens" Reply to "Tax-payer." Editor Southern California: It was with a great deal of surprise, that I read the communication of "Tax-payer" in the last issue of your paper. I was surprised that any one at all acquainted with the circumstances attending the repeal of the Charter of the city of Anaheim, would have the temerity to attempt to excuse the conduct of Mr. Asa Ellis in that transaction. That Mr. Ellis is a political trickster, and a man on whose word no reliance can be placed, is amply shown by the following facts, the truth of which can be attested by letters and records on file. A few citizens of Anaheim, conceiving it to be their interests to have the Charter of the city repealed, signed a petition praying for its repeal, and forwarded the same to Mr. Ellis. At nearly the same time a much more numerously signed petition was forwarded to the same gentleman, asking that the charter be not repeated. The late Major Strobel, was in Sacramento shortly after the petition and remonstrance had reached Mr. Ellis, and he was informed by that gentleman that he had lost the remonstrance, but gave his word of honor to take no action in the matter until the citizens of this place had forwarded him a duplicate of said remonstrance. Now mark the sequel: Major Strobel had only been in Anaheim but a few days, when he received the letter, re-published in the New Era, in which Ellis begged the Major "to save himself the trouble of getting up another remonstrance, as he had concluded to repeal the Charter of the city of Anaheim." Now, I leave it to the voters of Anaheim—yea, even to "Tax-payer." qualities, without being asked for any pledge in the convention or since his nomination. The Los Angeles Star and many people in the northern and western portion of the county oppose Mr. Guinn, believing him to be a county division candidate. But such is not the case A. L. Bush was before the convention as a county division candidate and failed to receive the nomination. There is no doubt in my mind but that the county will be divided in a few years, yet I believe, and a majority of the citizens here also believe, that it is too soon and that we are too poor to support the government of a new county. All that we ask at the present time is, to help us to break up the ring that has controlled the county affairs for years. Let us have some representation in the affairs of the county; give no more contracts for public improvements to favored individuals at double the price others would be willing to do the same work for, as in the item of the three magnificent bridges; give us railroad communication with Los Angeles that we may be able to reach that city without traveling thirty miles over an almost unimproved road, in the heat and dust, or rain and mud. In fact we would like to be treated as other portions of the county and be entitled to all of the rights and privileges guaranteed to all good citizens. Our portion of the county pays about one third of all the county taxes and we certainly are entitled to one officer out of thirteen to be elected. Help us to elect honest, capable men to office, that we may have some assurance that the taxes we pay will be used the sequel: Major Strobel had only been in Anaheim but a few days, when he received the letter, re-published in the New Era, in which Ellis begged the Major "to save himself the trouble of getting up another remonstrance, as he had concluded to repeal the Charter of the city of Anaheim." Now, I leave it to the voters of Anaheim—yea, even to "Tax-payer" himself—whether this was the line of conduct an honorable gentleman would pursue. If you, Mr. Editor, will permit me to indulge in a pun. I would say that Ellis is full of such gentlemen! However, I have the satisfaction of knowing that the men who were most active in procuring the repeal of the city Charter two years ago, are the same that were beaten so badly (135 to 25) at the primaries held two weeks since, by the well-wishers of Anaheim. CITIZEN. Mr. Cummings' Experience. Editor Southern California: Although I am well aware that you support Geo. H. Peck for School Superintendent, I ask you to give space to this communication. Mr Peck lays great stress on the fact of his being a teacher of long standing, and in the possession of testimonials as to his efficiency. Mr. Cummings, however, is also a man who has had much experience in his profession. He is the holder of a life diploma granted by the State Board of Education in 1866. He has been engaged in teaching in the public schools of this State, for fifteen years, and has held the office of Superintendent of Public Schools for three terms in Mendocino county commencing in 1865.
