A BAILBOAD TO ANAHEIM LANDING. It was one of the projects of the lamented Major Strobel, to build a narrow-gauge railway from Anaheim Landing to Anaheim, with the subsequent extension of said road to San Bernardino. The company, as many of our readers know, was organized and chartered, and the preliminary work necessary to estimate the cost of construction, performed. From several causes, needless to mention in this connection, the plan, as proposed by him, was not carried out. An undertaking of this kind, in connection with a lighterage or wharfage business at our shipping point, would undoubtedly pay a remunerative interest upon the capital invested. The cost of construction and running material of such a road—say three feet guage with eighteen pound rails, would be not over $5,000 per mile. The amount required, therefore, for the fourteen miles between Anaheim and the Landing would be $70,000. The amount of freight passing through the warehouse of the Lighter Company during the past year—a most unfavorable season—as shown by the report of the agent, was 12,000 tons. Estimating this amount at $2 per ton, the gross profits would be $24,000. Assuming that of this amount, one-third or $8,000, must be paid for current expenses, and allowing in addition a deduction of ten percent of the capital invested for repairs, etc., there remains a nett profit on the investment of thirteen per cent. per annum. An extension of the road to San Bernardino could be made at a very slight increase per mile over the estimated civil service report. The developments of the last years have demonstrated the greater or less corruption in our government, both Federal records of the times stated been replete with instances of officials; moneys collected or defray public expenses, have diverted from their legitimacy and used primarily to enrich them subsequently to shield himishment; merit and ability and political influence, or services are the only grounds upon civil appointments are awarded to the administrators of the body seemingly united to prostitute private ends the machinery ment and present to the world tyrannical and oppressive com- whom the loathsome and man corax and his unworthy associates inapt prototypes.

Through its of the Lighter Company during the past year—a most unfavorable season—as shown by the report of the agent, was 12,000 tons. Estimating this amount at $2 per ton, the gross profits would be $24,000. Assuming that of this amount, one-third or $8,000 must be paid for current expenses, and allowing in addition a deduction of ten percent of the capital invested for repairs, etc., there remains a nett profit on the investment of thirteen per cent. per annum. An extension of the road to San Bernardino could be made at a very alight increase per mile over the estimated cost of the Anaheim road, an increase in first cost of construction more than counterbalanced by the large trade, already existing in San Bernardino, and eagerly awaiting a cheap outlet. Our attention has been called to this matter by seeing in the local columns of the Californian a communication in regard to the recent action of Michael Reese. Mr. Reese has the capital, which this undertaking requires, and should he really mean business it would be much better that he should unite with himself all possibly conflicting interests, not only on purely disinterested grounds, but for the benefit of his own pocket. THE ANNUAL REPORT OF THE ANAHEIM LIGHTER COMPANY. We present in our local columns the yearly report of the imports and exports of the Anaheim Lighter Company. The fiscal year, through which the company has just passed, has been one unusually dull in the shipping business, owing to the cramped condition of the public generally. The grain crops were extremely light, and the wine shipments were not up to the usual standard. The wool interest, which is in the hands of comparatively few men, was the only industry not affected by dull times. Notwithstanding the difficulties, attendance upon hard times and unfavorable seasons, the business of the company steadily increases. The imports, as will be seen by reference to the report, consisted of 2,365 tons of general merchandise, and over one-quarter of one million feet of lumber. (The decrease in lumber from last year is owing to the fact that most of the stuff sold by the dealers at the Landing has been rafted ashore, more than 300,000 feet having been landed during the month of November, just passed.) The exports have been over one million pounds of wool eight million pounds of small grain, two hundred thousand gallons of wine, besides sundry amounts of general articles, particularized in the report. The outward lighterage amounted to $10,269 55-100, and the inward lighterage to $7,819 35-100, making a total of $17,588 90-100, and showing an increase over the receipts of the previous year of $2,814 50. Taking into consideration the partial failure of crops of all kinds, we can account for this increase in receipts to do so effectually requires that forts of the people. Their knowledge of this evil, their relief from it, and their belief in themselves exists the only remedy by the organization of the Path bandry and its magical growth to resist the growing end of speculators and monsters. Order, although carefully avoids what seems to attempt to place in charge affairs men. Individually honestly pure. Through its November elections resulted in change in several of the State shadow political purification institutions. When this first step has fully accomplished, when these departments, high and low-purged of their corrupt material law enacting power has been good men and true. further take place, in order to prevent other evils at present exist modus operandi of the civil service. Burke, on economical reform, enunciates that "all jurisdictions, more matter of expense, more to oppression, or more means of corrupt influence than justice or political administration to be abolished." Take for an Customs Service. In a list sixty-eight of the smaller Companies on the Atlantic coast, the eleven of the number were no zero, the cost of collections eight thousand dollars, and collections amounted to scarce hundreds of dollars. These companies under the present system are for; were they not in existence of the collecting ports of Boston, of New Orleans, and the larger ports of our East would show at once a man. Besides the political influence the Customs Service is too require comment. A large part its receipts are used, not to acting the expenses of the Gov't as an engine, by which the party may retain the power. This expensive and cumbersome has been created to protect it have always proven themselves grinding task-masters to their oppressive to the people at last. In the workings of our city the adoption of the method English Service would result. We allude, not to what knows as the Civil Service East India Company, but to its government clerks, in every service, receive their appraisal in the lowest grades, and life or good behavior, unaffected of November, just passed.) The exports have been over one million pounds of wool, eight million pounds of small grain, two hundred thousand gallons of wine, besides sundry amounts of general articles, particularized in the report. The outward lighterage amounted to $10,269 55-100, and the inward lighterage to $7,819 35-100, making a total of $17,588 90-100, and showing an increase over the receipts of the previous year of $2,814 50. Taking into consideration the partial failure of crops of all kinds, we can account for this increase in receipts only by the fact that there has been a steady and constant influx of population into the country during the past two or three years, and that, in consequence, a much larger area of territory has been placed under cultivation. With the present prospect for a favorable season, there is every reason to anticipate that the shipments through the Landing, both outward and inward, will during the coming year double the figures, shown in the present annual report. THE WATER QUESTION. We learn from the Sacramento Record that J. W. Venable has presented a resolution to the House, appointing a special committee of seven to prepare some feasible method of improving and thoroughly developing irrigating facilities in California. We have seen the original of a bill prepared by W. B. Olden, and embodying the views of himself and Gov. Downey, which has been forwarded to our delegation at Sacramento, with a view to legislative action. It has been almost demonstrated that the Land Company will neither help themselves nor others, and that all their talk about building large canals and reservoirs is nothing but talk. It is necessary, therefore, that force of some kind must be used to compel them, either to develop the country, to which hitherto they have been a curse, or to sell to men of enterprise and common sense. We trust, therefore, that our delegation will not weary in the matter, and will obtain legislation upon a matter so vital to the interests of the country. In the workings of our city the adoption of the method English Service would result. We allude, not to what already knows as the Civil Service East India Company, but to its government clerks, in effect the service, receive their appraisal in the lowest grades, and live or good behavior, unaffected changes, and unincumbersed matters for party purposes. Heads of departments, through every grade, are directly familiar with all department offices, and are thus competent a watchful supervision over national machinery of their design. Our Service, appointments charged, either with money. With salaries barely sufficient maintenance, clerks are commonly liberally towards the superparty. It should not, then, surprise that the department with men, anxious only to selves, or who becoming deficient in the demands of necessity, unholy greed. The desire for these reforms, now outspaking length and breadth of the thing of to-day. During the rule, characteristic latterly of organizations, during the exignoble schemes planned by the nation, during the attendant upon civil war, and reconstructive tyrannies of officials, the people have seen at the family fireside, the eruption. Agitations of those so deep and long continued in nothing. The time is an action, and in peace or in law, or in spite of the law balls of Legislation or even must be carried. CIVIL SERVICE REFORM. developments of the last two or three have demonstrated the existence of water or less corruption in all branches of government, both Federal and State; records of the times at, and have replete with instances of defaulting bills; moneys, collected ostensibly to public expenses, have been openly used from their legitimate channels, and primarily to enrich the individual subsequently to shield him from punishment; merit and ability are ignored, political influence, or political service the only grounds upon which all appointments are awarded; in a word, administrators of the body politic have largely united to prostitute to their own ends the machinery of governance and present to the world a corrupt, criminal and oppressive combination, to the loathsome and malignant Syriac and his unworthy associates were no prototypes. Occasionally, through accident, or through ignorance of his act, an honest man, as Gov. Dix of York is placed in a position of trust. His efforts to promote the public good to punish the evil-doer, only render glaring the existing immorality and powerless to stem the tide of evil. Individual or set of individuals can use the civil service of the filthy mass; so effectually requires the united effort of the people. Their knowledge of existence of this evil, the necessity of it from it, and their belief that in them exists the only remedy, is proven by organization of the Patrons of Husry and its magical growth. Origin to resist the growing encroachments speculators and monopolists, the arithough carefully avoiding politics, deemed it compatible with its principle to attempt to place in charge of public men, individually honest and politically pure. Through its influence the GLEARINGS. Six feet of snow has fallen at Ogden. Navigation on the Columbia river has been almost entirely suspended. The appointment of Williams as Chief Justice hangs fire in the Senate Judiciary Committee. Katow, editor of the Moscow Gazette admits an income of two millions. The Spanish Government claims it is not bound to surrender the Virginius till December 19. Eight miles of railroad from Los Angeles towards San Bernardino have been completed. A "Royalist" advertises in the Paris papers for a loan of 3,000 francs, and offers the security of "his word of honor." The San Diego river, dry for five years, is running again. Five and one-half inches of rain had fallen in San Diego up to Dec. 9th. The President has nominated E.P.Marcellus as United States Marshal, and Walter Van Dyke as United States Attorney for California. A National Convention of colored men met in New York on Monday. The object is to ask Congress to amend the civil rights bill. The Senate Committee on Irrigation and Water Rights is composed of Hopkins, Lindsay, McCune, Fraser, Farley, Keyes and Evans. J.T.Irving. the self-acused Nathan murderer, has been sentenced to seven years in Sing Sing prison on a charge of burglary. London has been recently enveloped in a fog so thick, as to require the constant use of lights and link boys in the streets. GRANGE GOSSIP. T.R.Allen, Worthy Master of Missouri State Grange, objects to being called "Grand Master," as such a title is not to be found in the entire vocabulary of the Order. An Ohio paper says: California Patrons of Husbandry propose to be true to their creed, by importing handsome girls. If a few thousand of the industrious and beautiful girls who are out of employment in this neighborhood, could become the wives of respectable Patrons in California, it would be both a blessing to them and the unmarried Californians. There are twenty-five or thirty thousand women in the eighteen hundred and eighteen Granges of Iowa, each woman having her vote equal to a man in the managerial transactions of the Order, and Iowa men are thus learning the ballot force there is in women, while the women are becoming educated in parliamentary practice and in business generally. The Iowa women are about one-third of the whole number of women in all the Granges of the United States, there being seven thousand Granges, in which are seventy-five to one hundred thousand women members. This is what the Secretary of the National Grange of Patrons of Husbandry proposes to do with the politicians who may get into the Order for political purposes. He says: "The Order has strength enough to run without the aid of any Congressional or other Government nurses, and we don't solicit either of them, or coalitions of any kind. The Order started out with the idea that the farmers can maintain an organization of their own. We have done well for six years with- When this first step has been successfully accomplished, when the executive departments, high and low, have been agreed of their corrupt material, when the enacting power has been entrusted to all men and true, further changes must be placed in order to prevent a recurrence of evils at present existing in the us operandi of the different branches of the civil service. Burke, in his speech economical reform, enunciated the principle that "all jurisdictions, which furnish the matter of expense, more temptation oppression, or more means and instructions of corrupt influence than advantage justice or political administration, ought be abolished." Take for an instance our customs Service. In a list comprising eight of the smaller Custom Houses on the Atlantic coast, the collections from seven of the number were represented by zero, the cost of collections was twenty-thousand dollars, and the total collections amounted to scarce so many hundreds of dollars. These Custom Houses under the present system, are a necessity; were they not in existence, the receipts of the collecting ports of New York, of Boston, of New Orleans, and in fact, of all larger ports of our Eastern sea-board, would show at once a marked decreaseides the political influence, exerted by Customs Service, is too well known to require comment. A large proportion of receipts are used, not to assist in defraying the expenses of the Government, but an engine, by which the administration may retain the power and the spoils, is expensive and cumbersome machinery been created to protect those few who are always proven themselves, not alone handling task-masters to the operative, but impressive to the people at large. In the workings of our civil machinery, adoption of the method used in the English Service would result in much good. We allude, not to what an Englishmanows as the Civil Service—that of the best India Company, but to its home offices, government clerks, in every branch of service, receive their appointments only at the lowest grades, and hold them for or good behavior, unaffected by politic- The Senate Committee on Irrigation and Water Rights is composed of Hopkins, Lindsay, McCune, Fraser, Farley, Keyes and Evans.

An agreement has been made between Germany and the United States, providing for an exchange of postal cards between the two countries, the arrangement to go into effect on the 1st. of December. The postage on postal cards sent from the United States to Germany, including Austria, Hungary and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, has been fixed at two cents, prepayment to be made by affixing to the postal card an ordinary one-cent United States postage stamp in addition to the stamp printed upon the card. Windom's bill to incorporate the Southern Trans-Continental Railroad, proposes to build and maintain a Railroad and Telegraph from the mouth of the Arkansas river, via Lime Rock, Arkansas Valley and the San Juan mountains to the Colorado river in Utah; thence by the most direct and practicable route to San Francisco, with a branch from Sedgwick, Arkansas, to the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad at the boundary line between Texas and the Indian Territory. Right of way is granted without other land grants. The capital stock is to be $50,000,000. Congress is to reserve power to regulate rates for travel and transportation, and the road is to be completed in 19 years. COMMISSION MERCHANT. FRANK R. LAFAUCHERIE COMMISSION MERCHANT.
