Southern Californian GEO. C. KNOX... EDITOR. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1873. THE ANAHEIM VINTAGE OF 1873 The vintage season of 1873 has at length drawn to a close, and the crop of the most disastrous season, ever experienced by Anaheim vineyardists, has been reduced to figures. These figures at present can only be estimated by us, as we have not yet had an opportunity of preparing such a table as we presented to our readers about one year ago. Taking, however, the eight vineyards owned by the wine firm of B. Dreyfus & Co., as a correct average of the amount of wine made, we can state that a little more than 300,000 gallons of wine have been produced during the past year. B. Dreyfus & Co. alone, have made over 200,000 gallons of wine, but five-eighths of this amount was expressed from grapes purchased from the Los Angeles and San Jose vineyards. In this connection we would refer to an article appearing in the Wine-Dealers' Gazette, of San Francisco, in which the amount of wine shipped from Anaheim Landing, from January last to a recent date is placed at 14,000 gallons. This is incorrect, as the shipping books will show during almost every month of the time, a larger quantity than the above figures. We intend in presenting in a future article showing the correct figures of this year's vintage, to obtain the number of gallons actually shipped from our Landing, not only for the information of the public, but in order that it may be preserved for future reference in comparing the annual growth of the wine interests in this section. THE PROSPECTS FOR A LARGE The second clause of the protocol agreed upon between Secretary the Spanish Minister at Water provides that "If it shall be shown Virginia had no right to carry its flag and papers the United States institute proceedings against the surviving parties who violated of the United States, and Spain go to institute proceedings against authorities who may have violated law or treaty stipulations." This is the part of the administration for a very lame and impotent great amount of fuss and fury. At a time when the United States allow even a semblance of an insane Stars and Stripes to remain unseen there was a time when the slain American citizen required as much a national humiliation upon the State committing the Times and customs, however, are The Government, in admitting to the legal right of the "Virginius" the U.S. flag, allows indirectly nations the right of examination and all American vessels, and a precedent most dangerous to perity of our merchant marine. Irish code of honor, which admits apology until bloody satisfaction rendered, is in our opinion the co- to be practised by nations who preserve intact the integrity of th- THE GROWTH OF THE GRANGE On the 4th day of December, first Grange of the Patrons of H was organized in the City of W In the official report of the ordered to the National Grange at t ing, held last October,the number dinate Granges was stated at 7,550 that time and up to the last day. THE PROSPECTS FOR A LARGE CROP. The present rain has occurred at a most opportune time for the farming community. A great many had profited by the experience of the past three years, and after the rain of two weeks ago, plowed and seeded their grain lands. In consequence, a large amount of grain is already in the ground, and ready to receive the benefit of the rainy season. The unusual rain fall of Wednesday and Thursday, nearly two inches, will afford the opportunity to increase largely the number of acres to be seeded. Thus it will be at once seen that with average seasons from this time forward, the prospects for a most plentiful harvest are exceedingly flattering. The arrangements for holding grain, being now perfected by the Patrons of Husbandry will enable them to command remunerative prices for their produce, and prevent speculators from taking advantage of their necessities, and thus rendering futile their labors. A NEW PHASE IN AFFAIRS. The resignation of Senator Caserly, recently tendered to the Governor of California, has placed a new phase upon the Senatorial subject, and one but rarely witnessed. Besides a Senator to be elected to serve from March 4th, 1875, one must be elected to fill the unexpired term of Mr. Casserly. Both of these positions can be held by one man, but as it is possible that by mutual concession, rival interests, at present conflicting, can be united, two different men will probably be selected Gov. Booth, from present appearances, is the favorite for the full term. To obtain the support of the Democracy for him, the election of a Democrat to fill the vacancy will undoubtedly be conceded. In that event and inasmuch as Gov. Haight has positively declined to allow his name to be used, the only eligible person in the Democratic ranks is the choice of Southern California—Gov. Downey. We see that one by one, the papers of the lower counties are endorsing our mention of that gentleman's name in connection with the position. He is the unanimous choice of the people, amongst whom he lives; he is eminently qualified in every respect to do honor to his constituents; our deputation should therefore see to it that his claims—for we believe that merit intrinsically no rendered, is in our opinion the co- to be practised by nations who preserve intact the integrity of th THE GROWTH OF THE GRANDE On the 4th day of December, first Grange of the Patrons of New was organized in the City of Winterset.

A SUBJECT FOR THOUGHT Last Sunday morning Sheriff left here with over $3,000, the taxes collected by him during Saturday, from property owners and around Anaheim. It must bered that this amount was collected from the small tax-payers, men to avoid the expense of a Angeles, and to whom no ad presented by keeping back their taxes until the last moment ting the amount collected in Santa Ana and San Juan Capistrane same figures, it will be seen that been taken from this end of during the past week $6,000, of a very small amount, if any, e This sum is about one-fourth annually paid by actual resident portion of the county lying so San Gabriel, and less than one whole tax collected from th question.

In all of the Western States, in which elections were held during last month, the result has been a victory for the people against political chicanery and intrigue. In Illinois, the Farmers' ticket has carried fifty-three out of the one hundred and two counties with three counties to hear from. In Wisconsin, the Anti-Monopolists have elected the entire State ticket by a handsome majority, and will control the action of the next Legislature. In Minnesota, the State Treasurer and probably the Secretary of State on the Farmers' ticket have been elected, and the Republican majority has been reduced from 20,000 in the Presidential election to 4,000. In the East, Massachusetts and New Jersey are still controlled by the Republican party, although with largely reduced majorities, and in New York, the stronghold of Democracy, the county vote exhibits a strong popular opposition, and foreshadows the downfall of the rule of political trickstery. Altogether, the result has been most favorable to the cause of the people, and proves most satisfactory to all opposed to the state of corruption existing in both political parties. In the Western States, a real victory has been won; in the East, political organizations, although still retaining the power, have been virtually placed here du combat. GROWTH OF THE GRANGES.

An earthquake shook up Gilroy last Wednesday. The resignation of Surveyor-General J.R. Hardenberg, has been accepted by the President. Gov. Booth's chances for election to the Senatorship are constantly improving. Tuesday night ice formed in Bakersfield Valley an inch thick. The frost was followed by snow, which turned into rain, and was falling copiously when last heard from. A dispatch says that Sam Bowles, of the Springfield Republican, has been sued for libel by Willis Phelps, a well-known railroad builder whom the Republican spoke of as the Bos Tweed of Springfield; damages laid at $200,000. The Republican office has been attached. The California Legislature met at noon on Tuesday. M.M. Estee was elected Speaker of the Assembly, and Longborough, Clerk. The Senate failed to elect permanent officers. Dispatches from San Francisco, Sacramento, Stockton, Petaluma and Vallejo of December 3d. state that it was snowing at those places and other points in the interior at that date. The position of Chief Justice of the Supreme Court has been formally tendered to Attorney General Williams. Colonel Briston of Kentucky is spoken of as his successor in the Attorney Generalship.

SUBJECT FOR THOUGHT. Sunday morning Sheriff Rowland were with over $3,000, the amount of collected by him during Friday and may, from property owners living in round Anaheim. It must be remem- that this amount was collected solely the small tax-payers, men who wish hold the expense of a trip to Los Angeles, and to whom no advantage is added by keeping back the amount of taxes until the last moment. Estima- the amount collected in Richland, Ana and San Juan Capistrano, at the figures, it will be seen that there has taken from this end of the county the past week $6,000, of which but by small amount, if any, ever returns. Sum is about one-fourth the amount really paid by actual residents of that area of the county lying south of the Gabriel, and less than one-tenth the tax collected from the section in Tom. If this money were deposited in cash, it would gradually be restored toation in our midst; as it is, our taxes become an annual drain upon the acts of the community, without any notice benefit arising therefrom.

Colonel Briston of Kentucky is spoken of as his successor in the Attorney Generalship. A dispatch from London, Dec. 1st, says: The ship Trimountain arrived at Cardiff from New York early this morning. She brought intelligence of a fearful disaster. It appears that the Steamer Ville de Havre, which left New York on the 15th of November, for Havre, under command of Captain Surmount, came into collision at 2 o'clock on the 23d of November with the British ship Lachine from London, bound to New York, and sank her. Two hundred and seventy six passengers of the Ville de Havre were lost. The Trimountain saved eight persons and brought them to Cardiff. After being taken to Blackwell's Island, Tweed was asked the usual questions by the recording Clerk, to which he answered that he was aged 62; occupation; Statesman; no religion; but as his family are protestants, he was entered as a protestant. He was taken to a bath and his head shaved and beard taken off, and was then arrayed in a full striped uniform. He had two letters from New York physicians recommending that he be placed in the hospital, but after examination by the penitentiary physicians, he was committed to the common cell, like other felons. The jacket given him to wear is known as the larceny jacket. It is not strange in these critical times that mercantile establishments conducted on purely worldly principles, should be harrassed with financial difficulties, but that a heavenly institution should come to grief is startling. Nevertheless, Zion's Cooperative Association of Salt Lake is in trouble, with liabilities of a million, and all Brigham's special revelations do not seem to make up for a lack of funds. President Grant's message was presented to Congress on Tuesday. In it he refers at great length to affairs in Cuba, and says the proslavery party there, is arraying itself more and more against the home government, and committing acts at variance with principles of justice and right. He gives the history of the Virginius affair and denounces the acts of the Spanish authorities, and appeals to the judgment and President Grant's message was presented to Congress on Tuesday.

He gives the history of the Virginius affair and denounces the acts of the Spanish authorities, and appeals to the judgment and patriotism of the people to support his policy of placing the Navy on a war footing, and recommends two amendments to the Constitution to permit executive approval of so much of any measure passing Congress as he may deem proper, without approving all, and that Congress shall not legislate during the last twenty-four hours of the session, and further to provide that in case of an extra session, Congress shall confine itself to measures for which the session may have been called, or to such as the executive may submit to it during the session. He recommends strict economy, and says it may as well commence with appropriations for public buildings, in appropriations for river and harbor improvements in those localities where they are of but little benefit to general commerce, and in fortifications and claims for losses suffered during the rebellion. He says the proper circulating medium is specie, and still says the panic has proved that the currency is based on the credit of the country and is the best ever devised. He dwells at length on the panic and its lessons, and directs attention to several remedies, which he says can be secured by proper legislation, relative to National Banks. The matter of cheap transportation requires attention, and measures toward that end will receive his approval; also recommends legislation for the protection of our shipping interests.
