Southern Californian GEO. C. KNOX... EDITOR. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1873. L. P. FISHER, 20 and 21 New Merchants' Exchange, is our authorized Agent in San Francisco FOR U.S. SENATOR. One of the most important matters, that will come before the next Assembly, is the choice of a United States Senator, a position more sought after and carrying greater political weight than even the possession of the gubernatorial chair, a position in fact, which ranks second only to the chief executive of the nation. In these times of political corruption, when all are for themselves and none are for the State, there is no trouble in bringing forward aspirants for the office. Their name is legion, and they voluntarily offer themselves on the altar of public duty. The great difficulty which presents itself always, is in selecting from the host one, who possesses those qualifications of character, of education and of experience, necessary to worthily and efficiently accomplish the duties of the position. Of the many gentlemen, whose names have been mentioned in connection with the office, only one, Gov. Booth, presents a public reputation, unsullied by political vices. He, however, is ineligible because, if we mistake not, when during the last Gubernatorial canvass, the charge was preferred against him that he sought the executive chair as a stepping-stone to Senatorial honors, he avowed his determination to serve as Governor, if elected, for the full term. The word of a gentleman, once given, should be irrevocable. Gov. Booth can not, therefore, under such circumstances. The insult recently offered to the American flag, by the murder of the officer crew of the "Virginius" by the Spanish authorities of Cuba, has arroused an unreal feeling of indignation among citizens of the United States. The President country, both North and South, in condemning the outrage, and demanding the Government, in the name of the people, prompt and energetic measure avenge the wounded honor of the man. That the administration fully approves the necessity of decisive action, is evident by the active preparations which are made to place the navy upon a war footing. A commission has been issued for a commission to proceed forthwith to the India waters. Some vessels have sailed thither, and every available ship on the Atlantic coast is being made resound. The facts in the case are these: Sloop "Virginius" sailed from an Amberport with laborers for Colon. While the coast of Cuba, it was overhauled boarded by a Spanish vessel. Its crew were en regle, and it claimed the prowess of the Stars and Stripes, which came from its mast-head. Regardless of the vessel was made a prize, and with its officers and crew as prisoners Santiago de Cuba. Thus far though gross, admitted of explanation apology, Naval officers are proven zealous, and stupidly literal in their instruction of instructions. A supposed bustering expedition having been up by the capture, a few diplomatic apologies from the mother government surging the hasty action of its servant have settled the affair. But "those who Gods wish to destroy," they first drive To insult, an outrage was added Of the many gentlemen, whose names have been mentioned in connection with the office, only one, Gov. Booth, presents a public reputation, unsullied by political views. He, however, is ineligible because, if we mistake not, when during the last Gubernatorial canvass, the charge was preferred against him that he sought the executive chair as a stepping-stone to Senatorial honors, he avowed his determination to serve as Governor, if elected, for the full term. The word of a gentleman, once given, should be irrevocable. Gov. Booth can not, therefore, under such circumstances, accept the Senatorship, without loss of personal honor. We read a few days ago an extract from an article, appearing in the San Francisco Post, in which the name of ex-Governor John G. Downey was mentioned in connection with the position. We were pleased to see that the eminent services, rendered to the State, and more especially to San Francisco, by that gentleman during his occupancy of the Executive chair, were still fresh in the memory of the few. We believe that, if he can be induced to reenter public life, there can be found in the State no one, who will prove his equal. Gov. Downey is not a representative man of the present; he is more a representative of the contemporaries of Clay, Webster and Benton, of that time when the position sought the man, and not the man the position. His conscientious sense of his duty has forced him to accept office, when called upon by the people; his quiet, unobtrusive merit prefers the routine of social duties, in which it has been his pleasure to engage since his retirement from office. The exigencies of the times, however, require such a man; one, whose political record is without a stain, and whose private life has been devoted to the improvement of his home-surroundings, and to the advancement of his friends and neighbors. We heartily endorse, therefore, the mention of his name. We trust that the representatives of Los Angeles and our sister counties may use their most endeavor to elect as the coming Senator, a gentleman, so eminently qualified both morally and intellectually, to do honor to that position. WE REPEAT OURSELVES. Since writing an article in regard to the impossibility of establishing any starting point in the limits of Anaheim, from which a survey could be made, so as not to conflict with the different property interests, we have been informed that several individuals contemplate erecting brick buildings on Los Angeles and Center streets. In fact we have been spoken to on the subject of establishing the corners of a lot situated on Center street, between Los Angeles and Palm streets, so that the owner might commence at once the excavation for the foundation of a large business house. We wish with its officers and crew as prisoners Santiago de Cuta. Thus far they though gross, admitted of explanation apology, Naval officers are proven zealous, and stupidly literal in their striction of instructions. A supposed bustering expedition having been up by the capture, a few diplomatic apology from the mother government suring the hasty action of its servants have settled the affair. But "those who Gods wish to destroy, they first drive To insult, an outrage was added prisoners, both master and men, were dered in cold blood, and with scant pretence of trial. The first act might been construed into a mistake. This is unmistakably an insult offered flag by an inebecile and tyrannicalism, and as such will be avenged. AN AMENDE HONORABLE We regret that a press of privacy caused us to inadvertently address the address of County Superintendent Fadden, delivered at the close Teachers' Institute. We consider apology is due on our part, not estimable gentleman, but to ours for our seeming negligence. The contained many statistics in regard public schools of the county, value future reference, and particularly in trying to those whom parental response attract to the cause of education. When Mr. McFadden first assures Superintendency of the Public School Los Angeles county, now four years there were on the school census by names of 16,000 children. Since number has been increased to 84 course the large immigration, we poured into the county during their accounts for a greater portion increase. Still we deem that much can be attached to the efforts of our intendant, in having an accurate taken from time to time, and in keeping interest, felt in education has been produced mainly by his workings in its behalf. During ministration, twenty-five new houses have been erected; new in accordance with the wants of current communities have been established in a word, a thorough and organization of the school system county has been effected. In real will transfer to his successor an charge, which in its present work compare favorably with that of on the Pacific coast,and which has present efficient organization his instrumentality and under jurisdiction. We take pleasure in utterance to the popular appreciation gentleman's official record that the children of our country still remain under his super direction. Since writing an article in regard to the impossibility of establishing any starting point in the limits of Anaheim, from which a survey could be made so as not to conflict with the different property interests, we have been informed that several individuals contemplate erecting brick buildings on Los Angeles and Center streets. In fact we have been spoken to on the subject of establishing the corners of a lot situated on Center street, between Los Angeles and Palm streets, so that the owner might commence at once the excavation for the foundation of a large business house. We were compelled to confess our inability to do so, for the reason above stated. These facts show the immediate necessity of some united action on the part of our property owners. The confusion, at present existing, retards our growth, and almost entirely stops the erection of costly structures. If it is deemed inadvisable at the present time, to make a survey of the entire town as we suggested a few weeks ago, why not make a commencement? Have the two principal streets, Los Angeles and Center, surveyed, let permanent corners be established at the intersection of other streets, let this survey be placed on paper, and petition the proper authorities, either the Board of Supervisors or the Legislature, to declare the plat to be the official map of the portion of Anaheim, represented. In this manner, future confusion will be prevented in the business portion of the town, and a datum will be given, from which all subsequent surveys will start, and upon which all future corrections will be based. All American places of any note have experienced the evils, arising from carelessness and inattention to land marks in their early existence, and have acknowledged, when too late, the important necessity of starting correctly. At the present time we can remedy this defect, without inconvenience or pecuniary loss to our landed proprietors, without litigation, and at a cost comparatively nominal. We feel it, therefore, to be our duty to urge again and again the necessity, which exists for inaugurating active measures to prevent the bad blood and ill feeling, invariably attendant upon the discussion of questions of property lines, A WARNING. A resolution was recently passed by Board of Trustees of the Semi-Company of Southern California ing their agents in this county measures were not at once to Land Company to furnish them gating water, to accept the off Captain Glassell, of Richland move their orchards and improve that locality. R. H. Gilman, the Superintendent company, commenced about months ago planting attractor miles north of Anaheim, with trees. The land had been put under the impression that a shortly be constructed. Near have elapsed, however, without mention of the implied promise of the enormous expense, after watering and keeping alive trees of their orchard by me water, the company have deconomy to lose the result labor, and to transplant their locality, under an irrigation Learning, however, of the state has recently been made by the pany, they have agreed to away of that Association. If work is at once, they will remain; if crustination is the result of tion, the Southern California Fruit Company will at one Their departure will be for others, and will retard the immediate vicinity to an able degree. The matter serious. The purchasers of Anaheim are not financially struct the ditch. It is imperative, therefore, that the Los Association should build it, lanthropic considerations, but save themselves from a marrow loss. RECENTLY Offered to the American murder of the officers and "Virginius" by the Spanish of Cuba, has aroused an university of indignation amongst the United States. The Press of both North and South, unite ing the outrage, and demand of eminent, in the name of the potent and energetic measures to wounded honor of the nation, administration fully appreciates y of decisive action, is evinced the preparations, which are being the navy upon a war footing. On has been issued for a squadceed forthwith to the West. Some vessels have already and every available ship on coast is being made ready for IN THE CASE ARE THE "Virginius" SALLED FROM AN AMERICAN LABORERS FOR COLON. WHilst off Cuba, it was overhauled and a Spanish vessel. Its papers are, and it claimed the protection arms and Stripes, which floated east-head. Regardless of this, was made a prize, and taken, officers and crew as prisoners, into the Cuba. Thus far the insult, admitted of explanation and Naval officers are proverbially stupidly literal in their confructions. A supposed illiexpedition having been broken capture, a few diplomatic notes of from the mother government, cenhasty action of its servant, would aid the affair. But "those whom the to destroy, they first drive mad." An outrage was added. The both master and men were mur- CLEANINGS.
