Anaheim Gazette SATURDAY...DECEMBER 12, 1874. Monday last was a day long to be remembered. Seventy-nine scientific expeditions watched with anxious interest the passage of Venus across the Sun, and sixteen hundred citizens rescued the Queen City of the Angels from the clutches of its Water Company. About fifty persons met at Indiana last month for the purpose of starting another third party upon a Western basis. They passed a series of resolutions, advocating a paper currency, based on the credit of the Government alone, called a National Convention to assemble at Cleveland, Ohio, next March, and then adjourned. Statistical reports, received at the Headquarters of the National Grange in Washington City, show that the total number of subordinate Granges in the United States at the present time is 21,427, and that the increase for the month of November was 364 Granges. New York was one of the most backward States in taking hold of the movement, but notwithstanding the indifference exhibited there are now in that State nearly 300 Granges. Some time ago it was authoritatively stated that no attempt would be made by Col. Tom Scott to obtain Congressional aid unless he was well assured by a private count of noses that his request would be favorably acted upon. On Wednesday a memorial from the Texas Pacific and Atlantic Pacific Railroads, asking Congressional aid was presented; and, predicating our belief upon the above THE FINEST CLIMATE. The Santa Barbara Index claims that "in mildness and uniformity of temperature Santa Barbara has not a rival in any city in Southern California nor in the world." In support of this assertion it states that the mean temperature of Santa Barbara is 54° Fahrenheit in January and 71° in July, whilst in Los Angeles county the mean temperature for corresponding months of the year is given as 52° and 75°, and deduces from these figures that Southern California shows a less absolute range of the thermometer than elsewhere in the Atlantic States or Europe, and that Santa Barbara is the most favored locality in this respect in Southern California. All of which would be correct if the Santa Barbara man had his figures put up correctly. Let us assume that the mean temperature, given by him for Santa Barbara, is correct, and let us then refer to the record of the temperature, as kept in Anaheim by the late Francis S. Miles of New York. We find that in July 1872 the mean temperature for the month was 72°, and in July of the following year it was 73°, in January 1873 the mean temperature was 63° and in the month of December previous it was 62°. The difference between mid-winter and mid-summer at Anaheim, Los Angeles County, is only 9°, whilst at Santa Barbara the difference is 17°, or nearly twice as much. Still referring to Mr. Miles' observations, we find also that at Mentone the mean temperature for the month of January was 48° or only six degrees colder than at Santa Barbara, whilst at Alken it was one degree warmer in that month than in a corresponding one at Santa Barbara. To sum up and still quoting from Mr. Miles, we find that the average temperature of the three winter months (December, January and February) of the past year. The first considerate question of course President takes a favor of resumption as outlined, is neat that submitted, more Secretary of the Treasury able space is devoted as to the necessity isolation to secure matter of good faith creditors and as a prosperity to the free banking as anthem resumption point he argues, would give currency, and end decide how much for the transaction the country. Correct regulations may exist, but banking a monopoly amount of currency thorized. In our foreign renaming questions past year.

In presentatives of foreign governmen called upon to lea protection of th Some time ago it was authoritatively stated that no attempt would be made by Col. Tom Scott to obtain Congressional aid unless he was well assured by a private count of noses that his request would be favorably acted upon. On Wednesday a memorial from the Texas Pacific and Atlantic Pacific Railroads, asking Congressional aid was presented; and, predicating our belief upon the above statement, made by a prominent Pennsylvanian, we doubt not that there is every probability of success. On the first day of January the law compelling the education of all children at schools, either public or private, will go into force in New York State. Owing to the recent transfer of authority to the Democracy this law must be enforced by an Executive, whose constituency is made up of a class of the population, avowedly hostile to liberal education. Whether this hostility will exercise a benevolent influence over the practical workings of the act in question remains to be seen. The past record of the Democratic party, especially in New York City, suggests grave fears that the problem, thus presented, will be solved affirmatively... A criminal case, transpiring a short time ago in Washington Territory, and in which the defence made by the prisoner was sustained by the Court and the defendant in consequence acquitted, recalls the good old days when Cotton Mather burned witches. An Indian had killed a medicine man of his tribe for bowitching his wife almost to the death. The defence took the ground that a belief in witchcraft was sanctioned by the Bible, and was common the world over. The Judge charged the jury that it might have been possible for the woman to have been placed under a malign enchantment, and as the defendant believed it to be his duty to save his wife by killing the medicine man it was proper to find a verdict of not guilty. Some of the administration journals in the Eastern States are seriously advocating the absorption by the Government not only of the telegraph system of the United States, but also of the great through railroads, projected by private corporations, and designed to connect the Eastern and Western limits of its territory. And A critical examination of Mr. Ott's report of the outgoing freights, forwarded by the Anaheim Lighter Company during the past year, offers a most convincing evidence of the steady and continually increasing progress, which is being made by the section of which Anaheim is the centre. Previous to the present year Anaheim Landing was the outlet, not alone for the Anaheim settlement, but also for the country around Los Nietos, Santa Ana, and San Jose. Since the completion of the railroad to Downey City and to Spadra the trade of Los Nietos and San Jose has been diverted to Wilmington; and through the efforts of certain citizens of Santa Ana large shipments of the present grain crop have been made by schooner from Newport on the San Joaquin rancho. Besides this, a very profitable home market for barley has been created by the activity which has arisen in the interior mining camps of Panamint and Cerro Gordo; a fact which is the more readily discernable, when it is noticed that the only large decrease in the grain shipments from those of last year is in the one item of barley. It must be remembered also that the falling off in our wine shipments was occasioned by the damage done to the grape crop by the frost of last year, and that in consequence the quantity exported must not be estimated at even one-half the average yield. Notwithstanding all these causes, which have arisen to decrease the amount of exports shipped through Anaheim Landing, we find upon comparison that the business has steadily increased, and that the amount of tonnage received and forwarded, is nearly fifteen hundred tons in excess of that of the fiscal year 1872—73. OUR INDUSTRIAL CONDITION. A critical examination of Mr. Ott's report of the outgoing freights, forwarded by the Anaheim Lighter Company during the past year, offers a most convincing evidence of the steady and continually increasing progress, which is being made by the section of which Anaheim is the centre. Previous to the present year Anaheim Landing was the outlet, not alone for the Anaheim settlement, but also for the country around Los Nietos, Santa Ana, and San Jose. Since the completion of the railroad to Downey City and to Spadra the trade of Los Nietos and San Jose has been diverted to Wilmington; and through the efforts of certain citizens of Santa Ana large shipments of the present grain crop have been made by schooner from Newport on the San Joaquin rancho.

A recital is given of the government which he defends mandering the surrender to this previously recorded authority.

Some of the administration journals in the Eastern States are seriously advocating the absorption by the Government not only of the telegraph system of the United States, but also of the great through railroads, projected by private corporations, and designed to connect the Eastern and Western limits of its territory. And besides this, they recommend the institution of immense public works in order to afford relief to the destitution, which is making its appearance so extensively among the laboring classes of the Eastern States. When it is considered what great power for evil would thus be placed in the hands of the Executive, it may well be deemed a question of grave doubt whether this temporary relief would justify the employment of a means so inimical in its tendencies to Republican principles. A GENERAL mass meeting of the citizens of Los Angeles has been called for today to take under consideration the proposition to build the Los Angeles and Independence Railroad. The preliminary work has been completed under the direction of Col. Crawford, and it is now only necessary that capital should take hold of the enterprise to insure its successful conclusion. By this route, extended to Salt Lake City, Los Angeles is 200 miles nearer Omaha than San Francisco, and after leaving the summit of the Cajon Pass there are no physical difficulties to encounter on the entire line. These facts, in connection with the growing importance of the Southern Coast Counties of California in the Eastern States, stamps the enterprise as a safe one, and should induce the immediate inauguration of active measures for construction. THE CENTINELA LAND COMPANY Until now Los Angeles City has been peculiarly and unfortunately situated in that it was completely surrounded by large ranchos, whose owners preferred to keep their possessions intact, and thus prevented the ingress into its immediate vicinity of a most valuable and desirable class of population. This cordon, however, has at length been broken by the purchase by the Centinela Land Company of the Centinela and Sausal Redondo ranches, lying to the South and South-west of the pueblo lands. This tract is now being subdivided into parcels, ranging in size from five to forty acres. On the 18th day of next month these subdivisions will be offered for sale at public auction, and will be sold without reservation to the highest bidders. As a guarantee that the purposes of the association are to offer facilities for the immediate settlement of a large tract of uncultivated, though valuable agricultural lands, it is sufficient to mention that F. P. F. Temple of Los Angeles is its presiding officer and that the Board of Directors number among others several of the most enterprising and public-spirited citizens of that city. This company has made a move in the right direction, one that, by creating a necessity for additional facilities for the transportation of freight and passengers, will bring with it railroads from every direction and will increase the commercial importance of our ocean ports; and we trust that this association is but the fore-runner of similar movements on the part of capitalists, which will place in the market every foot of the many thousand acres of valuable unimproved lands, which at the present time are withheld from sale. Synopsis of the President's Message. The first consideration is given to the question of currency, on which the President takes decided ground in favor of resumption. His plan as far as outlined, is nearly identical with that submitted, more in detail, by the Secretary of the Treasury. Considerable space is devoted to an argument as to the necessity of immediate legislation to secure this end, both as a matter of good faith to the national creditors and as a means of restoring prosperity to the country. He regards free banking as an essential feature of the resumption policy. Free banks, he argues, would give elasticity to the currency, and enable the people to decide how much currency is required for the transaction of the business of the country. Congress should make the regulations under which a bank may exist, but should not make banking a monopoly by limiting the amount of currency that shall be authorized. In our foreign relations, no threatening questions have arisen in the past year. Few points of difference remain to be adjusted. He refers to the vexed question of Chinese immigration, recognizes the worthless character of a large portion of the men, and particularly of the women, and recommends the subject to Congress, without suggesting any legislation by which the evils complained of can be remedied. In regard to Cuba, the President is not explicit, but intimates that the continuance of the strife without decided success on either side may make some positive steps on the part of other powers a matter of self-necessity. Pending questions with the Government of Spain remain unsettled in consequence of the disturbed condition of her internal affairs. Attention is called to the unsatisfactory condition of our laws with reference to expatriation and election of nationality. Congress has asserted the abstract right of expatriation as a fundamental principle of this Government, but no legislation has been had to define what acts shall work expatriation, or when a citizen shall be decided to have renounced or lost his citizenship. In consequence, the representatives of the United States in foreign governments are frequently called upon to lend their aid and the protection of the United States to per- Clarke, the boy accused of setting fire to a church at Chien, is a son of the District Attorney, who has sent for Mr. Handley, of Oroville, to conduct the prosecution in his stead. Richard B. Irwin has arrived in New York from Europe, to answer to the suit of the Pacific Mail S. S. Co., for appropriation of $750,000 while agent of the company in San Francisco. T. W. Cushing, a Paymaster's clerk at Mare Island, has been arrested on a charge of forging a name to a pay roll and drawing the money on the forged name, and taken to San Francisco for examination. Bismarck, in the recent debate in the German Parliament, charged as a fact of which he had positive knowledge that the Jesuitical influence from the Vatican drove Louis Napoleon (against his will) into the war which cost him his throne. Among the passengers on the last trip of the steamer Senator was David Felsenheld, a prominent citizen of San Diego, en route for Washington to urge measures in the interest of Southern California during the session of Congress. Five mounted and armed men flagged, stopped and robbed an express train on the Kansas Pacific Railroad near Muncie, on Tuesday afternoon. Wells, Fargo & Co's safe was robbed of $27,000. The passengers were unmolested. Judge Durell, of the Federal Court in Louisiana, has resigned, and a lawyer named Walker, has been appointed to fill the vacancy. As Walker is McEnery's attorney against Kellogg, his appointment is regarded somewhat as vindicating the President's desire to recognize the McEnery government. On Monday morning last Edward Madden, editor of the Merced Tribune, was shot dead on the street by Harry Granlee, step-son of R. J. Stale of the San Joaquin Argus. A contest going on between the two papers had been carried to the extent of bitter personalities, which provoked the murder. Granice shot Madden from behind without warning.

J.B.BAINE,Screary. Anaheim, December 11th, 1874. LOUIS LEWIN, Successor to Bradrick & Co. Spring Street, opposite "Star" office, Los Angeles,Cul. Dealer in... Attention is called to the unsatisfactory condition of our laws with reference to expatriation and election of nationality. Congress has asserted the abstract right of expatriation as a fundamental principle of this Government, but no legislation has been had to define what acts shall work expatriation, or when a citizen shall be decided to have renounced or lost his citizenship. In consequence, the representatives of the United States in foreign governments are frequently called upon to lend their aid and the protection of the United States to persons whose right to such protection is doubtful. The attention of Congress is also called to the difficulties arising from fraudulent naturalization laws. While citizenship is freely offered to all who may come in good faith to reside in this country, care should be taken that a right conveying such support from the Government should not be fraudulently obtained, and should be bestowed only upon proof of compliance with law. The President refers briefly to the report of the Secretary of War and endorses its suggestions. The officers he particularly recommends to the attention of Congress. No class of Government employees are harder workers than they, and legislation is desirable to render this branch of public service more efficient. He recommends the establishment of a Professorship of Rhetoric and Literature at West Point. The Navy has been largely increased in the last year, under the impulse of foreign complications which threatened at the commencement of the last session of Congress. A recital is given of the legal status of the government of Louisiana, in which he defends his action in demanding the Penn government to surrender to the officials whom he had previously recognized as rightfully in authority. Considerable space is given to accounts of intimidation of colored voters at the recent election, and a purpose is strongly expressed to enforce the laws made in pursuance of the Fifteenth Amendment while he remains in the Executive Chair. As statement of the difficulties surrounding the Arkansas question is made and the whole matter remanded to Congress. The necessity of Federal interference in the affairs of a State is deplored, and a hope expressed that wise legislation and the subsidence of party spirit may make such interference unnecessary in the future. An increase of Federal Judicial Districts is recommended and the suggestion made that such addition may render desirable the addition of two Judges to the Supreme Bench. In Indian affairs, an adherence to the peace policy is advised. He endorses the recommendations of the Secretary of the Interior in regard to legislation looking to the bestowal of the rights of citizenship upon certain classes of Indians. The restoration of Southerners entitled to pensions, as soldiers of the war of 1812, to their status previous to the rebellion, is recommended. On Monday morning last Edward Madden, editor of the Merced Tribune, was shot dead on the street by Harry Granice, step-son of R. J. Stale of the San Joaquin Argus. A contest going on between the two papers had been carried to the extent of bitter personalities, which provoked the murder. Granice shot Madden from behind without warning. Dispatches from Vicksburg report fighting between the whites and negroes. The origin of the trouble is a dispute between the citizens and the county officials. The Sheriff, a negro named Crosby, is acting without giving bonds. The Board of Supervisors refused to order a new election, and several county officials are under indictment. The citizens went to the Court House to demand their resignation. They all fled except the Sheriff, who resigned. This created an excitement amongst the negros, who, in order to reinstate the Sheriff, marched on the town, to the number of about 750. The citizens assembled and drove them back with a loss of 20 killed, 20 wounded and 40 prisoners. One white man was killed. The negroes are now raiding in the country, burning dwellings and gin houses. AROUND THE COUNTY. Sister Helena, of the Los Angeles Catholic Orphan Asylum, died on Monday. The Allso Mills of Los Angeles, destroyed by fire last Summer, are being rebuilt. The Silver Wedding of Col. Kewen and wife was celebrated at El Molino on Thursday night. S. P.

The restoration of Southerners entitled to pensions, as soldiers of the war of 1812, to their status previous to the rebellion, is recommended. Civil Service Reform has been as closely adhered to as possible, in view of the opposition to it; but legislation is needed to carry the system into full effect. Unless such legislation is given the President will regard the policy as abandoned. A revival of ship building is urgently desired, but it is recommended that Government aid should be extended in the direction of liberal compensation for carrying mails. Mail service from Pacific ports to China, Japan and Australia, is especially alluded to. The affairs of the District of Columbia are discussed at length and a liberal policy to the District recommended. NEWS IN BRIEF. Representative Stowell is charged with having sold a naval cadetship.

"Centinela," with the addition of the "Bansal Reslonda," contains 25,000 acres. The boundary of the Rancho commences three and a half miles from the city limits of Los Angeles, and extends to the Pacific Ocean. Topography. "Centinela" is made up of one broad, level fertile valley of over twenty thousand acres and beautiful, fertile rolling hills near the Ocean. Soil. The soil is an exceedingly fertile loam, and is, without exception, the richest and most productive in Southern California. Its viability to the ocean insurance a crop without irrigation. Excellent wha at has been raised for the last two years upon the hills adjoining the ocean. This wha at hold contains 1,000 acres and covers the lightest soil upon the Rancho. There is no alkali or barr. land. Semi-Tropical Fruits. There are a few bearing orange and lime trees upon the Centinela, and the fruit they produce is of the largest and finest quality. There is an orchard containing 6,000 orange trees three years old, and 1,700 almond, lime and lemon trees. The almond, lime and lemon trees will bear fruit in 1855. The orange trees will be in five years. There are 7,000 three year old orange trees in the nursery near the orchard. Fig pepper and gum trees grow without irrigation. The entire orchard can be taken care of by three men with six horses. The orchard will be kept undivided by the Company, to save the expense of each shareholder having a few trees to take care of. Each share will entitle the owner to about 15 trees in the orchard and about the same number in the nursery. The almond, lime and lemon trees will yield an immediate return. In five years each orange tree will produce $20 per annum, or $30 per share for those new planted. There are flowers in the garden in bloom every day in the year. Sheep. A flock of about 14,000 sheep will be kept undivided, to save expense to the shareholders. This will give about 30 sheep to each share.
