Southern Californian 1. C. KNOX EDITOR. SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 27. 1873. OUR GROWTH. No better evidence of the steady growth of that portion of the county, lying between the San Gabriel river and the foot hills of the Santa Ana mountains, can be afforded than an inspection of the dilled warehouses of the Lighter Company at Anabeim Landing. The past season has been one of the worst ever experienced and the complaint has been that the crops of grain were, or would be, unusually light. As soon however, as the advance in price was generally known an amount of grain comes forward for shipment largely in excess of any past year. If it is true, as stated, that the soil has not yielded well, the conclusion is at once forced upon us that the number of producers has been materially increased. The Los Angeles press state that the exports from Wilmington are in excess of past years, consequently our landing has not diverted shipments from that point. A larger amount of wool is also being received at the Landing than in previous years. This, however, can be accounted for by the return of large flocks of sheep from Lower California and the Southern country, where they were driven in search of pasturage two years ago. Although it is too early to make a correct estimate of the vintage for the present year, still it is known that the yield is much larger than was anticipated. If, with all the drawbacks, both physical and financial, which have tended to retard our growth during the past, so flattering an exhibit is made, it will be impossible to conceive the impulse which will be given THE LATE MONEY TROUBLES. The telegraph announces that a reaction in money matters has taken place in New York, and that the panic, which at one time threatened to be so direful in its consequences, and to extend so generally throughout the country, has subsided to a great degree. Although at first much year was felt that the "tight times" of 1857 were to be again passed through, the affair has blown over without affecting seriously any mercantile house, excepting those who were engaged in illegitimate speculation. We copy from the Los Angeles Express of the 23d inst., the conclusion of an article, describing the causes which led to the troubles, and also embodying a few sensible remarks upon the bearing of the panic upon future railway construction. "The Northern Pacific Railroad Company, which has been the immediate cause of the present crash, has been flooding this country and Europe with interest-bearing bonds. The only source of revenue it had was from a section of a few hundred miles of finished road from Duluth on the Atlantic side and a scattering segment of finished road on this side. It is one of those roads which can only begin to pay expenses when completed for the country through which it passes is a wilderness in fact. JAY COOKE & Co., perhaps as powerful a house as there was in the country, tried to carry this road through. The Government subsidies and franchises are great but they are not available for adequate cash to meet the vast outlay. The bonds were forced, by a prodigious system of advertising, into the hands of people of small means—the habit of large interest, flamingly set forth in the advertisements proving an irresistible morsel. But this interest was paid by the sale of more bonds, and to a superficial observer it would seem that it was only a question of presses to keep up the money supply. Just as soon, however, as public THE GRANGES IN LOS ANGELES COUNTY. Since the advent of Mr. Baxter, Grand Deputy of the Patrons of Husbandry for California, gave an impetus to the progress of the order in this county, the farmers generally have taken great interest in uniting together and securing for themselves the benefits which are likely to accrue to them from an association, whose object is to crush monopoly of every character, either political or commercial. We learn that during the past week the twelfth Grange of Los Angeles county has been organized by Deputy Garey. This is a good showing for less than two months, and affords a fair exhibition of the importance accorded to the movement by our farming community. On next Wednesday the Masters and Matrons of the different Granges in the county will meet together in council at Gallatin. We have not learned the object of this meeting, but suppose it is to insure a greater harmony of action, and to inaugurate measures to advance still more the numerical growth of the different lodges. In this age of peculation and corruption when evidences of malfeasance in office, and illegitimate actions in the mercantile world are daily and hourly brought to light, it is not only necessary, but imperative, that the masses should take prompt and active steps to purify the body politic, and to remove from the hands of speculative and unprincipled men, the power to injure the financial condition of the country. To do this is the avowed aim of the Grange system. Los Angeles county has taken hold in earnest. It is to be hoped that the interest now felt and exhibited will not be allowed to grow tuke-warm, but will on the contrary increase, and in ever, can be accounted for by the return of large flocks of sheep from Lower California and the Southern country, where they were driven in search of pasturage two years ago. Although it is too early to make a correct estimate of the vintage for the present year, still it is known that the yield is much larger than was anticipated. If, with all the drawbacks, both physical and financial, which have tended to retard our growth during the past, so flattering an exhibit is made, it will be impossible to conceive the impulse which will be given to this section by the successful completion of railroad communication and irrigation facilities, now in their incursion: The only thing heretofore wanting, to make the country a paradise, has been water. Now that the Land Company have taken the matter in hand, and give every assurance that they will not turn back until the whole of their lands are placed under irrigation this want promises to be filled with the smallest practicable delay. This crash will have one good effect. It will, to be sure, for a time check the expansion of new railroads through portions of the country sparsely settled; but it will force railroad builders to come down to a common sense system in their projects and executions. The credit Mobilier tactics will have to be abandoned, and the actual cost of roads become a basis in the consideration of their construction, instead of the robbing way of letting out contracts within the company, charging over the profits of building against the stockholders, and the managers pocketing the difference between the actual cost and the amount claimed on the books. If the crash will serve to prevent capitalists from lending on this pernicious system, the system must fall and we shall then have roads built with all the guards of economy and administrative honesty." A NEW PARTY. From all parts of the country come evidences, that the minds of the great masses of the people incline to the formation of a new political party, composed of the elements of good from the old parties. Corruption has so permeated all of our political machinery that it is considered an August task to attempt a purification which cannot be accomplished except by the destruction of the old political land marks. In every State, in which elections are shortly to be held independent nominations have been made with strong probabilities of receiving the support of the people. As yet the affair has assumed no definite shape, but merely appears as an expression of dissatisfaction with the existing powers. As an Illinois politician expresses it, the feeling at present is simply "a fore-runner," a John the Baptist of a party that will drive money-changers from the temple, drown political swine, restore vitality to the blasted interests of the mechanic and farmer, and cure our body politic of the leprosy of corruption; in short, become the political savior of the nation." In California alone, where political wickedness has been more open and barefaced in its workings, have active steps been taken to rend asunder the snacks in which we have so long been THE SUPREME JUDGESHIP. The State Republican Convention, which met at Sacramento last week, has nominated Hon. S. H. DWINELLE of San Francisco, for the long term and Hon. ANSON BRUNSON of Los Angeles, for the short term. The Democracy have placed in the field against Judge DWINELLE, Hon. S. B. McKEE, but taking the ground that there will be but one vacancy, have nominated no opponent to Mr. BRUNSON. The reason for so doing is this: Judge CROCKETT who at present occupies the chair to which Mr. BRUNSON aspires, was in the first place appointed to fill an unexpired term, caused by the decease of one of the Supreme Judges, and subsequently, at the last Judicial election, was elected by vote of the people. The question is, therefore: Was he elected to fill an unexpired term or was he elected for the usual term of ten years? The Code says that a vacancy occurring among the Supreme Judges shall be filled by appointment, until the next succeeding Judicial election, when such vacancy shall be filled by the people, but whether for a new term or for the unexpired one is left in a pleasing state of uncertainty. The Democracy have evidently assumed that a new term is intended, and that Judge CROCKETT holds for ten years from date of election instead of until 1874. The Republicans, adopting the opposite view of the case, have given to Mr. BRUNSON the nomination. SAN DIEGO BECOMES UNEASY. At last San Diego commences to open its eyes to the fact that Col. SCOTT has more at heart the interests of the great railway, of which he is the chief than those of the town of San Diego. It appears that the San Diegans have granted the Texas Pacific the right of way through their town, to the width of one hundred feet. In locating the line of the road through the city two miles of the tide and swamp lands along the water front are gobbled up by the railway. All of which, viewed from a California standpoint, is correct. Without the Texas Pacific, the water front of San Diego would be valueless. The railroad should therefore receive the lion's share of the increase in valuation of this water front. The San Diegans, in their first enthusiasm were willing to devote the town to the Texas Pacific, which would do them so great benefit, but unfortunately the love of filthy incre has dampened their enthusiasm, and they now fear that Col SCOTT will acquire for his company something more valuable than their mea sand patches. This hundred feet of roadway belongs to the Texas Pacific by deed of gift, and it is right that the State should do all in its power to assist in placing the matter in such a shape that no cause for future litigation may exist.

The yellow fever is not abating at Shreveport. The destination is about as bad as the disease. The Commissioner General of the Land Office has notified the Central Pacific to surrender 5,300 acres of land in Yolo county. Five hundred and eighty men have been discharged from the Patterson locomotive works, on account of the depression in railroad securities. The State Grange will meet at San Jose, October 4th, to consolidate for business purposes—to purchase by wholesale, and sell to the best advantage. The San Francisco local bankers are pursuing a very cautious policy at the present time, drawing as little exchange as possible and no telegraphic transfers. The financial panic in New York causes great excitement. In Memphis several banks suspended on account of inability to realize on securities in New York. Secretary Richardson suggests that the purchase of bonds cease at $2,000,000, and says the treasury cannot furnish all the currency a frantic people may want. The bankers and brokers in Baltimore who are agents of the Ohio and Chesapeake Railroad suspended on Thursday. J. Politz clothing dealer, of Sacramento, was robbed on the cars. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.

The bankers and brokers in Baltimore who are agents of the Ohio and Chesapeake Railroad suspended on Thursday. J. Politz clothing dealer, of Sacramento, was robbed on the cars while coming from the East, of a diamond ring worth $500, and other property amounting to $800. A dispatch from Sacramento says that interior delegations to the Independent convention come in unanimously for independent nominations. McKinstry is the favorite with all and will probably be nominated by acclamation. Appearances indicate the formation of a new party. The stage between Winnemucca and Silver City, Nevada, was robbed on Monday by three disguised men. They got about $3,000 of Welis, Forgo & Co., and robbed Col. Woods, who was on his way to Camp McDermott, to pay troops. The amount is not stated. The Masonic fraternity have under way at least $4,000,000 worth of new halls. Most of which will be completed this year. The order in Philadelphia is the most magnificent structure of the kind in the country, and when finished and entirely completed, will be worth at least $1,000,000. At 1 p.m. on Thursday the Costa Rica was safely docked at Hunters Point. The damage to the ship's bottom is not as serious as at first supposed, and she will come out of the dock in a short time almost as good as new.

The fight was brief, fierce and bloody, Allen winning in seven rounds. Taught in nineteen minutes, and getting the first blood in the first round, and first knock down in the fourth.

A.W.POITT. Clerk ANNUNCEMENTS A prize fight between Tom Allen and Mike McCoole, took place on Tuesday, at a place in Illinois, 14 miles above St. Louis. It was witnessed by 2,000 persons. The fight was brief, fierce and bloody, Allen winning in seven rounds. Taught in nineteen minutes, and getting the first blood in the first round, and first knock down in the fourth. McCoole was terribly battered, his face at the end of the battle being a swollen, bloody mass of flesh with both eyes closed; while Allen escaped with scarcely a scratch, his antagonist never having succeeded in touching his face. McCoole presented a horrible appearance and seemed scarcely able to hold up its hands. The left eye is closed, and he has a terrible cut under the right eye. The right side of his upper lip was also cut and his nose broken. Before the last round Allen said, "It is a sin to put that man up to be punished." I you don't take him away, I'll disfigure him for life. He is the gamest man I ever met!" The crowd yelled "Take him away! Take him away!" The round was gone through with, but Allen refrained from striking his opponent. The fight had now lasted 19 minutes, when time was called for the eighth round. Tom Kelly then threw up the white hankerchief, in token of his principal's defeat. San Francisco, Sept. 25.
