Southern Californian GEO. C. KNOX... EDITOR. SATURDAY, MARCH 28, 1874. COUNTY DIVISION. Special telegrams to the Los Angeles papers announce that the question of dividing Los Angeles county has again been deferred, and that the Senate, by an indefinite postponement of the bill, have added another disappointment to the hopes and wishes of the citizens of the southeastern part of Los Angeles county. We differ, however, from the Express in its belief that the "division ghost is down this time never to rise again," and that "the people of the southern portion of the county will soon realize that it is well that their hasty conclusions have not been ratified." A conclusion, that has been reached after five years' deliberation, can not be well-termed "hasty;" but, be that as it may, we are too old a campaigner to fight over a battle, already fought. Whilst taking profitable heed to the lessons, taught by past experience, we acquiesce in a truce until the subject properly comes up again before the Legislature of 1875–76. Before dismissing the subject, however, we can not refrain from giving a few words of advice to our friends in the northern part of the county. If they really desire to effectually quiet the spirit of division, which is now and has been for the past five years so general in this section, they can best do so by paying some little attention to our wants. Spend some of the money, which yearly finds its way from the pockets of our citizens into the coffers of the county treasury, for much-needed improvements. Avoid the appearance of evil which exists in the total neglect of THE ROAD TO THE PANNE MINES. By request we publish the resolutions, offered by M. J. Newell the last meeting of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, and adopt unanimous vote. Whereas, From information before this Chamber, it appears new mines of Pannamint are of great wealth, and that they are client extent to sustain a large p and Whereas, It is believed that communication with Los Angeles would to this city and county, great advantages with that mining district to complete which compel it is necessary to open and co wagon road a distance or about and which could be completed paratively small cost and in a short it is therefore Resolved, That the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce endorses the appeal R. C. Jacobs, Esq., and hereby to the citizens of this city and county describe such funds as may be reconstruct said road. Resolved, That a committee from the Directors of this Chamber appointed to assist Mr. Jacobs in such subscriptions. Resolved, That the newspaper city and county be requested these resolutions. Sometime since, two gentlemen the Pannamint district, Messrs. and Rains, applied to the Commerce for aid in constructing from their district to the outer which was actually necessary in the Pannaminters might go either to Los Angeles, Santa Before dismissing the subject, however, we can not refrain from giving a few words of advice to our friends in the northern part of the county. If they really desire to effectually quiet the spirit of division, which is now and has been for the past five years so general in this section, they can best do so by paying some little attention to our wants. Spend some of the money, which yearly finds its way from the pockets of our citizens into the coffers of the county treasury, for much-needed improvements. Avoid the appearance of evil, which exists in the total neglect of any improvement on our main thoroughfare to the sea—the Anaheim Landing road. In a word, cease the seeming discrimination of which complaint has heretofore been made, and if the desire should still exist with some, still the unanimity of sentiment would be destroyed. Commencing at a very late date, with nothing but bare facts to aid us and despite a strong, active and influential opposition, we have almost succeeded in persuading the present Legislature that it was right that Orange county should be created. However, we have found it true, as several times before, that "The justice and the truth o' th' question carries The due o' th' verdict with it." We, of this end of the county, are willing to remain, if under a new order of things our complaints, now many years old, are rendered groundless in the future. We promise, if such is not the case, a more determined effort before the next Legislature. It is said that continual dripping will wear away the hardest stone; in persistency and in constancy of purpose we base our hopes of success, believing that, though "In the corrupted currents of this world Oppression's gilded hand may shove by justice," still with continued effort Right will finally prevail. IN REVIEW. As the day draws near, on which will end the regular session of the present Legislature, it is not ill advised to pass briefly in review the public life of those to whom has been committed the important duty of caring for the interests of their constituency. The most apt illustration of the comparative merit of the three gentlemen, who represent our county at Sacramento, can be-found in the parable of the servants, to whom were entrusted three talents. "Local Option" Higby has so far as laid within his power, frittered away time and opportunity in advocating temperance, as viewed from an ismatic standpoint, and the mental miscogenation of the black and white races, both of which measures will undoubtedly endear him to the viniculturists of the county,and to those of his constituency of Los Nietos and Los Angeles, around whose memories still cling the evil and the disaster which followed in the wake of the fanatical in- A CASE IN POINT In our last issue we referred regard, which has always our legislative bodies to any one may arise between their end the Constitution of the State publish a decision, recently State Supreme Court in the city vs. Austin,which illustrably the pertinence of our Political Code, which has been favorably to the Codes of Judicial Commission, appointed to and which has just submitted declared to be at variance when tution in regard to the power to the State Board of Equity as a natural consequence revenue machinery of the State gear.

"Local Option" Higby has so far as laid within his power, frittered away time and opportunity in advocating temperance, as viewed from an ismatic standpoint, and the mental miscegenation of the black and white races, both of which measures will undoubtedly endear him to the viniculturists of the county, and to those of his constituency of Los Nietos and Los Angeles, around whose memories still cling the evil and the disaster which followed in the wake of the fanatical influences of "Old John Brown" and others of that ilk; Bush represents him, who buried his talent, and as he has not yet unearthed it, we are not prepared to report upon its condition; Venable alone deserves from his people the well merited enconlum "Well done, thou good and faithful servant." From the first day of the session up to the present time he has been conscientiously endeavoring to represent his constituency, and to relieve their wants. In speaking thus favorably of a gentleman, with whom our political preferences are at variance, and who solicited his seat as an avowed opponent of county division, we are impelled, not only by our sense of justice, but as well by a feeling of gratitude for the kindly and gentlemanly manner in which he opposed our favorite measure, contrasted as it was with the broken promises of others. On his return Mr. Venable, with the proud consciousness of work well and faithfully performed, need feel no sense of shame in meeting either friend or enemy; he has been a good public servant, and we commend him to the favor of his constituency. The CALIFORNIAN has marked carefully the line of conduct, pursued by our Senator and Assemblymen during the present session. Should their aspirations tend publicwards in the future, it may prove unfortunate for some of them that their deeds and pledges were lines, drawn from two distinct centres. In this age of immorality to break a promise has become an hourly practice, but we opine with the old poet that the performance had best be left to churchmen, who wisely stretch the crafty bill to a long payment, and draw upon faturity. BROAD TO THE PANNAMINT MINES. Request we publish the following news, offered by M. J. Newmark, at a meeting of the Los Angeles Board of Commerce, and adopted by a public vote. Areas, From information brought this Chamber, it appears that the cities of Pannamint are developing wealth, and that they are of sufficient extent to sustain a large population; Areas, It is believed that direct connection with Los Angeles would secure city and county, great commercialages with that mining district, and, or to complete which communication necessary to open and construct a road a distance of about six miles, which could be completed at a convenient small cost and in a short time; therefore solved, That the Los Angeles Chamber commerce, endorses the application of Jacobs, Esq., and hereby appeals to citizens of this city and county to sub-such funds as may be required to act said road. Solved, That a committee of three the Directors of this Chamber be led to assist Mr. Jacobs in soliciting subscriptions. Solved, That the newspapers of this county be requested to publish resolutions. Hetime since, two gentlemen from Pannamint district, Messrs. Vanderslip Rains, applied to the Chamber of Justice for aid in constructing a road their district to the outer world, and was actually necessary in order that Pannaminters might go any where. To Los Angeles, Santa Barbara or CLEANINGS. Lewis Dent, brother of Mrs. Grant, died in Washington on last Saturday. The Massachusetts Legislature has not succeeded in electing a successor to Sumner. The extradition Treaty between the United States and Equador to continue ten years, is officially proclaimed. The Santa Clara Farmer's Club have memorialized the Legislature on the question of removing the duty on jute. The bill prohibiting the collection of accounts over five dollars for liquors sold at retail has received the signature of the Governor. Last Monday was the twenty-fifth anniversary of the accession to the throne of the Sardinia King, Victor Emanuel. The German Parliament has a second time rejected the Government's bill to establish the peace footing of the Army at 400,000 men.

Y. have sued Sheriff Walter for $24,000 and four years interest, for an alleged overcharge for feeding prisoners. Congressman Clayton is urging the imposition of a tax of ten cents per pint upon all imitation effervescent wines for the protection of natural sparkling wine producers. Senator Bush has introduced a bill to fix the fees and compensation of the Justices of the Peace in the NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. A CARD. To Whom It May Concern. Certain charges against me—based upon unfounded rumors—have been widely circulated in this community. The principal of these, as near as I can learn, are "That I have published letters in the 'Chronicle' and other papers against county division; "That I have written letters to our delegation at Sacramento urging them to oppose a division of the county;" and that I have been "paid by the people of Los Angeles and the northern portion of the county for so doing." I pronounce these charges one and all false and slanderous. J. M. GUINN.

FOWLER, OF NEW YORK AND BOSTON, Will Lecture in..... Enterprise Hall, Anaheim, At 7:30 on..... Friday Evening March 27th. The Board of Supervisors of Brooklyn, N.Y., have sued Sheriff Walter for $24,000 and four years interest, for an alleged overcharge for feeding prisoners. Congressman Clayton is urging the imposition of a tax of ten cents per pint upon all imitation effervescent wines for the protection of natural sparkling wine producers. Senator Bush has introduced a bill to fix the fees and compensation of the Justices of the Peace in the county of Los Angeles for services in criminal cases. The First Presbyterian Church of Baltimore has had its Pastors in the order named, the Rev. Messrs. Furniss, Bellows, Sparks, Blazup, and Burnup. Mayor Otis, of Cleveland, Ohio, has issued a proclamation ordering the women liquor crusaders to cease their praying gatherings on the streets. The Jersey City Steel works suspended work on Tuesday morning want of coal to keep up the furnaces. The suspension throws nearly one hundred men out of employment. At the request of Prof. Edward Powers, Farwell of Illinois introduced a memorial asking Congress to test the subject of irrigation by artillery. Refered to the Committee on Agriculture. The Army and Navy Club of New York city is going to give a banquet to Commander Lorraine of the British war steamer Niobe for his interference in favor of the Virginia prisoners at Santiago de Cuba. The Railroad Company have sent out scales to El Monte, San Gabriel and Spadra depots; and telegraph instruments have been forwarded to those points so that they will be in operation by the time regular trains have commenced to run. Dr. R.T. Hays of Los Angeles says that a tablespoonful of common commercial oil or spirits of turpentine, two or three times per month, will remove all offensive and deleterious odors from vaults or sick rooms. The bill passed the Senate allowing the people of Siskiyou and Humboldt counties to vote whether portions of Klamath county shall be annexed to them, and if they vote in the affirmative Klamath county is to be dismembered. The Indian appropriation bill has been completed. The committee have decided to abolish all the superintendencies except that for the tribes in the Indian territory, believing that these officers can be IMPORTANT DECISION. The Supreme court has delivered the following opinion in the case of Houghton and Austin, relating to delinquent taxes in San Francisco: "In view of the urgent necessity for an early decision of this cause, we deem it proper to announce the conclusions to which a majority of the Court has arrived, reserving to each of the Justices the privilege of filing an opinion hereafter, if he shall elect to do so. The Chief Justice and Justices Niles and McKinstry are of opinion, First—That section 3,696 of the Political Code is unconstitutional, so far as it delegates to the State Board of Equalization on the right to fix the rate of taxation after allowing for delinquency in the collection of taxes. They consider this to be delegation of legislation in derogation of the Constitution. 2.—That section 3,693 of the same Code, in effect, constitutes the State Board of Equalization Assessors, and is therefore in conflict with section 13, Article 1, of the Constitution." Justices Rhodes and Crockett do not concur in these views, but on the contrary hold that these sections are not unconstitutional for either of the reasons alleged; moreover, they consider it is no longer an open question on this Court. The Chief Justice, and Justices Rhodes and Crockett, and Niles, are however, of opinion that the remedy by conjunction is not the proper remedy in this action. Justice McKinstry holds the contrary opinion as to the remedy. The effect of this decision is stated to be that the delinquent taxes for 1872 and 1873 are not collectable, because they are not assessed in accordance with the Constitution, having been equalized by the State Board of Equalization. The question is whether raised it will not necessitate a change in the entire revenue law of the State—S. F. Call. The bill passed the Senate allowing the people of Siskiyou and Humboldt counties to vote whether portions of Klamath county shall be annexed to them, and if they vote in the affirmative Klamath county is to be dismembered. The Indian appropriation bill has been completed. The committee have decided to abolish all the superintendencies except that for the tribes in the Indian territory, believing that these officers can be dispensed with without any detriment to the service. Lord Northbrook, Viceory and Governor-General of India, telegraphs to the Indian Office that it is expected the Government will be obliged to maintain 3,000,000 persons for three months. The expenditures on account of the famine to the end of February last are estimated at $7,500,000. The tug-boat "Crescent City" from New Orleans for St. Louis blew up last Tuesday and sunk in three minutes. Sixteen persons were lost and five injured. Barges containing fifty tons of coal, six hundred tons of sugar and two hundred tons of queensware were lost. A despatch from Washington says that Tom Scott has not abandoned the idea of asking aid from Congress for the Texas-Pacific Railroad. The despatch also represents that persons are reported there as trying to negotiate for the purchase of all rights of the company, and purpose hastening the road to completion. The House Committee on Appropriations have instructed Gen. Garfield to prepare a bill to be introduced in the House as early as practicable making an appropriation of money to provide for the payment of bounties to colored soldiers, the appropriation for which services is now nearly expended. It costs the government about $5,500 monthly to meet this class of claims. SEMENTS. RD.
