Southern Californian GOO. C. KNOX... EDITOR. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1873. OURSELVE. With the present issue our journalistic labors for the year 1873 have closed. As we linger in the editorial chair for the last time during the present year, we trust that it will not be deemed egotistical if, whilst retrospectively looking upon our work, we speak a few words concerning the California. But a little more than a year ago the paper passed under the control of the present management, and during the time which has since elapsed, has steadily improved its mechanical facilities for performing its work. Although our pathway has not been entirely divested of the thorns, which beset the journalist, although at times the line of duty has been obscure and not readily discernible, although errors of judgment may have been unwittingly committed, still we must acknowledge that our faults have been leniently considered, and that our labors have been rendered peculiarly agreeable through the kind indulgence of our readers and the solid encouragement of our patrons. The year now closing, has not been marked with many notable events, occurring in our quiet little village by the sea. Our community, bucolic in its favocations, has pursued the even tenor of its way, growing steadily, though imperceptibly, in wealth and commercial importance. The Grange movement, originated in the growing evils, arising in consequence of the unjust operations of capital and monopoly, has found its way to the Southern Pacific coast during the present year, and has been eagerly hailed by our farmers as a means of self protection. The California itself an offspring of the people, early A petition has been in circulation some weeks past, asking that an action be ordered by the present to build a road bridge across Ana river. This petition was amongst those most directly involved in the people, living east of the city though quite a number of Ana fact, every one to whom the presented have given a warm and co-operation. The necessity appropriation should be ordered bridge be constructed, is so appaquainted with the country that cacy of the measure is like "carry to Newcastle," nevertheless as southern portion of the county, been allowed even one represent shall urge upon our members diate passage of the bill. Up to the present time, all provinces have tended directly for the benefit of the Angeles. As this town is the center and as in consequence business required that the first outlay made in that locality, we do not intimate that a selfish partial shown, but rather approve the area fathers thus far. However the last two or three years, the portion of the county has settled up, so that a large of the residents of the county, ing the citizens of Los Angeles of the San Gabriel river. Of nearly one half reside south of the Santa Ana river. For the disof these people it is necessary terrupted communication with seat should be afforded, and it obtain this communication that bridge is demanded. Ignoring that tax-payers undoubtedly receive a direct benefit from which they pay into the public construction of this bridge in order that they may not surpass THE UNITED STATES SENATORS ELECT. The hard fought contest, which has since the commencement of the session, occupied the two houses of the Legislature, is at length ended. Governor Newton Booth, the Independent candidate, has secured the long term, and Judge Hager of San Francisco, the Democratic aspirant, has been elected to fill the unexpired term of Senator Casserly. As usual in all American political fights of the present day, many hard words and much foul language has been employed to work out the result. That result is claimed to be a victory for the people and for political integrity, although it must be acknowledged that the reasonings, which lead to the above deductions, are slightly mixed. Viewed from our standpoint, we have succeeded in tempting a gentleman, who has heretofore presented an unblemished public record, and we have accomplished this success by bribing with the short term the Democratic minority. The most cogent objection, that was urged against the election of Newton Booth to the Governorship, was that he wished the office merely as a stepping stone to the acquisition of the Senatorial toga, and that in that event Pacheco, a railroad man; would become Governor of the State. Mr. Booth and his friends repeatedly and emphatically asserted that it was his intention to serve, if elected, the full Gubernatorial term, and that under no consideration would he allow his name to be used as an aspirant for Senatorial honors. Mr. Booth was elected by the anti-railroad party ing the citizens of Los Angeles of the San Gabriel river. Of nearly one half reside south of the Santa Ana river. For the disruption communication with seat should be afforded, and it obtain this communication that bridge is demanded. Ignoring at tax-payers undoubtedly receive a direct benefit from which they pay into the public construction of this bridge in order that they may not sustain loss through its absence. Instance a firm, whose interest the southern end of the county, among our largest tax-payers of the San Joaquin rancho. It the agent in charge of their affairs to the business, entrusted to a constant personal supervision necessary that at times be shown Angeles in the interests of him. If there is an uninterrupted relation between the two sections country, these distinct duties formed by one person. Should from either place be necessitate causes at any time, and especially the rainy season, the inconvenient attendant upon this absence is To each and every one, living or Santa Ana, the same inconvenience result, and in order that these features in our existing road faction be removed, this petition has been to the Legislature now in session. THE WOOL GROWERS' TION. At the risk of being accused of we would again call theAttorney sheep men to the importance of the convention to be held in on the 15th day of January are so many difficulties known sheep raiser, which at present retard the progress of this which can not be overcome by effort, that it is barely possible that it would be necessary to the fact more than a passing notice a full attendance. In conversation one or two stock raisers, however that they are not impressed with in the good which results from action. An ignorance of the events us from entering into and one minute' of the business is possible to improve, and we can only referrate what we said. Go to Los Angeles, hear those who are thoroughly poorest requirements of sheep-raising their propositions, and do not unheard an idea, which in industry has resulted in great went good. the election of Newton Booth to the Governorship, was that he wished the office merely as a stepping stone to the acquisition of the Senatorial toga, and that in that event Pacheco, a railroad man; would become Governor of the State. Mr. Booth and his friends repeatedly and emphatically asserted that it was his intention to serve, if elected, the full Gubernatorial term, and that under no consideration would he allow his name to be used as an aspirant for Senatorial honors. Mr. Booth was elected by the anti-railroad party. The value of his pledged word is now presented to the people. We thus present our view of the case, not that it will do either good or harm, but in order that a few of the people who have won this signal victory and gratified the personal ambition of our honored Governor, may feel less disappointment, when that gentleman falls from a still higher mountain of temptation. SATAN REBUKING SIN. Senator Carpenter, the hero of the Long Branch scandal, has been selected by a Republican Senatorial caucus to preside over the deliberations of the U.S. Senate during the temporary absence of the Vice President. To this august and honorable body has been recently presented the name of Attorney-General Williams, for confirmation to the position of Chief Justice of the United States. The Senate objects, however, on account of a $600 carriage with which the family of Mr. Williams were presented by the Department of Justice, and on account of several minor clouds, such as bribery of a State Legislature and other legitimate political actions. "White man is mighty onsartin" was said to have been the ejaculation of one of our colored citizens, who had spent many long years of labor and nights devoid of ease, in arriving at the result, as above enunciated. We incline to the belief that this sapient conclusion was reached after a close and critical examination of the acts of our honorable and worthy law-makers. MORE ABOUT THE “VIEW” It appears from recent disclosures Spain has not yet adjusted all ties, arising from the seizure of ginius," Advices from Havers West state that serious co-growing out of the wholesale Santiago de Cuba, have arisen British and Spanish government states that the British Consul Havana, has been ordered to naval commanders in the West rendezvous at once in Cuban that the punishment of Burk imperatively demanded. This part of England is because the captives murdered by Burk number of British subjects between the manner of action and the United States is most great. The one quietly, though edily, protects the life of its citizen; the other, with a guss and fury, submits to insult and renders itself a lax to every nation by its bombardment. AT LAST. After nearly eight years of old and patient waiting, it has been by one house of Congress differences and restore to the privileges the ex-Confederate is taken into consideration the givenness has been extended to partners of the Credit Mobil like schemes, the action has in far surpassance. We wonder if we would not also extend to right hand of fellowship. THE SANTA ANA BRIDGE. Petition has been in circulation for weeks past, asking that an appropriation be ordered by the present Legislature hold a road bridge across the Santa River. This petition was circulated among those most directly interested—people, living east of the river, all quite a number of Anaheimers, in every one to whom the paper was sent, have given a warm and interest-operation. The necessity, that the variation should be ordered and the construction is constructed, is so apparent to all, consented with the country that the advance of the measure is like "carrying coals newcastle," nevertheless as we, of the turn portion of the county, have not allowed even one representative, we urge upon our members the immediate passage of the bill. To the present time, all public im-ments have tended directly or indirectly for the benefit of the city of Los Angeles. As this town is the county seat, in consequence business necessities need that the first outlays should be made that locality, we do not desire to state that a selfish partiality has been put rather approve the action of our fathers thus far. However, within last two or three years, the agricultural man of the county has been rapidly up, so that a large majority of residents of the county, not include citizens of Los Angeles, live south of San Gabriel river. Of this number one half reside south and east of Santa Ana river. For the direct benefit these people it is necessary that uninformed communication with the county should be afforded, and it is in order to this communication that the present issue is demanded. Ignoring the right tax-payers undoubtedly possess to take a direct benefit from the money they pay into the public treasury, construction of this bridge is required that they may not忍痛 individually. CLEANINGS. Pennsylvania has adopted a new Constitution. Polish exiles propose to erect a statue to Kosiusko in Central Park. C. P. Huntington has been re-elected President of the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad. The Sprague manufacturing company have secured the mills from their creditors, and will run again on full time. Gen. Crook's confirmation to the rank of Brigadier General is delayed on account of a question of law, whether a vacancy exists. The Government has contracted for the transportation of a thousand tons of cannon and ball from St. Louis to Pensacola. In a tree top in South Africa, has been discovered the remnant of one of the balloons sent up from be-lagured Paris, three years ago. In the joint convention held on Tuesday afternoon, Judge Hager was elected Senator for the short term, by a majority of 17 votes. Dennis Maloney, the second mate of the ship Sunrise, convicted of cruelty to seamen, died in the San Francisco County Hospital on Tuesday. He had a few days longer to serve in the county jail. The wife of Alex. Agassiz, son of the late professor, died on Tuesday night of pneumonia, superinduced by fatigue attending upon her father-in-law. The Philadelphia longshoremen, who are on a strike, have organized an association. One of their resolutions declares that white and colored men may become members. The investigation of the character of the Virginius is to be commenced in New York. The Government is GRANGE CORNER. A Grange is being organized in San Diego County. A Grange Warehouse is proposed at Fremont, Neb. The Grangers in Watseca county, Mino., are considering the erection of a flouring mill. The Patrons of Husbandry at Philo, Ill., have their elevator now ready to receive and ship grain. The Pawnee county (Neb.) Grangers have commenced shipping their hogs to Eastern markets direct. Hon. J. W. Nesmith, Representative elect from Oregon, is a Granger—the only one in Congress. Sheridan Grange, of Scott county, Iowa, have done one sensible thing—resolved to patronize home manufactures. The "Granges and Farmers' Clubs in America" have got into the Cornhill Magazine in a well written and carefully considered article. The Oregon Granger gives a list of one State Grange, one Central Association and forty-two subordinate Granges in Oregon, and four in Washington Territory. The Grangers of Winneshiek, Fayette, Clayton, Allamakee counties, Iowa, have commenced preparations for a grand celebration on the Fourth of July next. It is well to be in ample time. John H. Hegeler, Master of Bodega Grange, has been appointed General Deputy, and is also appointed an agent to reside in San Francisco and handle the dairy produce for members of the Order, under $20,000 bonds. Henry J. Kampman, Secretary of West Egypt Grange, and G. D. Chamberlin, of Minonk, Ill., purchasing agent of the Farmers' Club The citizens of Los Angeles live south of San Gabriel river. Of this number, one half reside south and east of Santa Ana river. For the direct benefit these people it is necessary that uninformed communication with the county should be afforded, and it is in order to obtain this communication that the present issue is demanded. Ignoring the right tax-payers undoubtedly possess to take a direct benefit from the money they pay into the public treasury, construction of this bridge is required, and that they may not sustain individual through its absence. Take for an instance a firm, whose interests are all in southern end of the county, and who are among our largest tax-payers—the owners of San Joaquin rancho. It is necessary agent in charge of their affairs should do the business, entrusted to his care, constant personal supervision. It is also necessary that at times he should visit Los Angeles in the interests of his employers; there is an uninterrupted communication between the two sections of the city, these distinct duties may be performed by one person. Should his absence neither place be necessitated by natural disasters at any time, and especially during summer season, the inconvenience and lossendant upon this absence is most patent, such and every one, living in Richland Santa Ana, the same inconveniences may stand in order that these objectionable acres in our existing road facilities may removed, this petition has been addressed by Legislature now in session. WOOL GROWERS' CONVENTION. The risk of being accused of repetition, would again call the attention of our men to the importance of attending convention to be held in Los Angeles on the 15th day of January next. There are many difficulties, known best to the raiser, which at present conspire to aid the progress of this industry and can not be overcome by individual effort, that it is barely possible to suppose that would be necessary to accord to detect more than a passing notice to insure attendance. In conversation with her two stock raises, however, we find they are not impressed with a belief good which results from co-operative action. An ignorance of the subject, prevailed reputable lawyers scout Williams' opinion, that notwithstanding the Virginius was fraudulently registered, that fact does not affect her right to be protected from molestation on the high seas. They hold that a fraudulent register gives to those obtaining her no rights not possessed before, therefore, if the register was fraudulent, the Virginius had no right to the protection of the American flag. Secretary Belknap is disposed to out the estimate of the War department down to the lowest possible limit. Those who are in the military service proper received his personal attention and were calculatedations for a grand celebration on the Fourth of July next. It is well to be in ample time. John H. Hegeler, Master of Bodega Grange, has been appointed General Deputy, and is also appointed an agent to reside in San Francisco and handle the dairy produce for members of the Order, under $20,000 bonds. Henry J. Kampman, Secretary of West Egypt Grange, and G. D. Chamberlin, of Minonk, Ill., purchasing agent of the Farmers' Club at Moweaqua, Ill., report a great saving—15 to 40 per cent—in the purchase of groceries. In the Iowa State Grange, Grand Master Smedley reviewed the growth of the Order in that State, showing that the number of subordinate Granges has increased during the past year from 708 to 1,838. He warned the members that the success of the Order in the great work it hoped to achieve depends upon the total exclusion or politics. At the recent session of Massachusetts State Grange, at Greenfield, a resolution was unanimously passed with reference to the Boston Grange, as follows: "Resolved That we endorse the action of Deputy J. C. Abbott in the formation of the Boston Grange, and we believe that a Grange in that city is a necessity to the full success of our cause in Massachusetts." The resolution was strongly endorsed by the lecturer of the National Grange, T. A. Thompson, in an eloquent speech, and he, with Deputy J. C. Abbott and several State Deputies, will be present with the Boston Grange at its next meeting. Mr. Saunders, the founder of the Order of the Patrons of Husbandry, is described as a genial, unostentatious Scotchman. He is upward of 60 years of age, a man of large frame, something about medium height, with gray hair, a beard almost white, and, although his complexion is rather dark, he has the lightest blue eyes I ever saw—eyes which would delight the transcendental Alcott, who believes that the blue-eyed will inherit the earth. He has a high and somewhat retreating forehead, a nose which evinces strength of character, and a rather sober expression of countenance, as a man of thought rather than of a man who is controlled by his feelings. His bearing is such that he elicits good will from others, those who are associated with him holding him in profound and even tender regard. An ignorance of the subject, preus from entering into the thousand one minul' of the business, which it possible to improve, and therefore we only reiterate what we have already Go to Los Angeles, hear the views of who are thoroughly posted in the regments of sheep-raising, weigh well propositions, and do not condemn an idea, which in every other entry has resulted in great and permagood. BE ABOUT THE "VIRGINIUS." Appears from recent dispatches that has not yet adjusted all the difficulrising from the seizure of the "Virginius," Advices from Havana to Key state that serious complications ing out of the wholesale butchery at Mago de Cuba, have arisen between the French and Spanish governments. Rumor is that the British Consul-General, at Ana, has been ordered to instruct all commanders in the West Indies to avous at once in Cuban ports, and the punishment of Burriel will be eratively demanded. This action on part of England is because amongst captives murdered by Burriel, were a number of British subjects. The contrast seen the manner of action of England the United States is most strikingly not. The one quietly, though determinates the life of its most humble men; the other, with a great deal of and fury, submits to the grossest treats and renders itself a laughing-stock every nation by its bombastic braggad. AT LAST. After nearly eight years of humiliation patient waiting it has been determined one house of Congress to ignore past arrances and restore to their rights and leges the ex-Confederate. When it knew into consideration that this forness has been extended by the silent minors of the Credit Mobilier and other schemes, the action has in it something arcasim. We wonder if "Boss" Tweed would not also extend to the rebel the hand of fellowship. COMMISSION MERCHANT. FRANK R. LAFAUCHERIE COMMISSION MERCHANT. CENTER STREET, ANAHEIM.
