Anaheim Gazette SATURDAY JANUARY 2, 1875 SECRETARY BRISTOW, through an Assistant Solicitor of the Treasury Department, has made a demand upon the Central Pacific, the Union Pacific and the other smaller Pacific railroads for five per cent. of the gross earnings of each road since their completion, claimed as its due by the United States. This demand was made upon each road on the 31st of October last, and should have been paid during the past week. The total amount now sums up nearly three million dollars. During the past month has occurred the coldest weather ever known in this particular section of Los Angeles county—at least so says the oldest inhabitant. And notwithstanding this we saw yesterday a flower from a pumpkin vine, which had blossomed on the open plain, and were shown besides a ground cherry vine—one of the most delicate of wild plants, upon which was flower and green fruit and ripe; and all this in defiance of the attack upon our climatic perfections by the clerk of the weather. There has lately come to the surface in Massachusetts a new party who wish the Federal Constitution amended so as "to recognize the existence of the Supreme Being." One evening last month all of them assembled in Tremont Temple and passed a series of resolutions, instructing Congress in regard to their wishes. This will probably be made the subject-matter of the sixteenth amendment, and it will be peculiarly gratifying from the impossibility of getting either the Negro or the Mongolian mixed up with it. We have received the first number THE IRRIGATION QUESTION. We insert today a notice, calling for a mass meeting of real estate owners, living on the elevated lands north of Anaheim, in order to discuss and commence actual work upon the best means of placing these lands under some system of irrigation. Although the notice speaks for itself, still, deeming the question of general irrigation of such great importance to the entire community, we can not refrain from alluding to the subject at some length. In our official capacity as Superintendent of Irrigation for Los Angeles county, we have attempted to establish the system provided by the "Bush Act" of 1873, but on account of various causes, which it is needless to enumerate at the present time, all efforts towards that end have proved futile. One thing, however, has very clearly demonstrated itself; and that is that under the Act, alluded to, inviting litigation from the outset as it does on account of the vagueness and ambiguity of each and every section, nothing, even of the most preliminary nature, can be effected. We believe that the passage of the Act, with all its unconstitutionalities and contradictions, will be productive of a future good, and that this good will come from the fact that an investigation of the subject has been made the business of the individual. However, the benefits, thus resulting, are prospective and merely within the range of the possible; and what is wanted is immediate and active relief. A ditch, constructed over the line of survey made for the Los Angeles and San Bernardino Land Company, and similar in size to the Chapman ditch, watering the Orange and Santa Ana settlements, can be constructed at a cost of a sum, not exceeding $25,000. This ditch will answer all purposes for several years to come, or in other words it can irrigate all the lands, requiring water and lying West of the Santa Ana river, ex- WE have received the first number of the New Italy, a monthly paper published at Los Angeles by the Los Angeles Immigration and Land Cooperative Association, with a gratuitous circulation of 5,000 copies, and devoted to the dissemination of information regarding the climate, resources, etc., of Southern California. The association, in addition to this monthly publication, will answer all letters of inquiry from abroad regarding the same subjects. Letters must be directed to L. M. Holt, Secretary. REPRESENTATIVE LUTTRELL has recently introduced a bill in Congress which should atone in a great measure for his past Quixotism. The bill provides that those public lands, whose price has been doubled in consequence of their proximity to the territory donated to railroads, should be held in the future at the customary price of $1.25 per acre. What is wanted farthermore is that these lands should be sub-divided at as early a date as practicable, and that the appropriations for the public surveys should be made in such a manner as to no longer afford an opportunity for official speculation. LONDON advises from Madeira bring the information that an English emigrant ship, the Cospatrick, with four hundred and sixty passengers on board had been burned at sea. The fire was discovered on the 17th of November, and a scene of hopeless confusion and disorder commenced which ended only with the total destruction of the ship. But two boats were successfully launched, and of these one has not since been heard of. The other containing three living persons and two dead ones, was picked up by the British ship, Scepter, and it was through it that the news of the disaster was made public. THE NEW YEAR, just commencing, is heralded by cheering signs and numerous auguries of good omen, betokening a prosperous future for Southern California. Within the last The New Year, just commencing, is heralded by cheering signs and numerous auguries of good omen, be-tokening a prosperous future for Southern California. Within the last year the climatic perfections of this portion of the State have been indelibly impressed upon health-seekers from the East, and in consequence a tide of immigration has set in, which bids fair in a short time to place California among the leading States of the Union as regards population and wealth. But what is more especially a subject of gratulation for this particular section lies in the knowledge that the artesian system of irrigation, which was so largely developed during the past year, has placed our agricultural prosperity upon a firm and reliable basis. Next Tuesday the State Board of Education will hold its regular meeting. A strong outside influence has been exerted on the individual members of the Board to procure the passage of an order, making a complete change in the text books now in use in the public schools, and it is generally feared that this attempt to benefit a few speculative book-publishers at the expense of the entire State will be successful. In commenting editorially upon this subject the Sacramento Record briefly and cogently states the main objections, which can be urged against the proposed change: "The benefit accruing from such substitutions is problematical, incapable of definition or demonstration; the expense connected with them is on the contrary, a particularly matter-of-fact, tangible and burdensome reality." QUESTION. A notice, calling for real estate elevated lands under the these lands under on. Although self, still, deem general irrigation due to the entire refrain from that some length. As Superintendent for Los Angeles apted to establish by the "Bush account of various illess to enumeration, all efforts proved futile, every clearly denot is that under writing litigation does on account and am ever every section, most preliminary.

This ditch will several years to it can irrigate water and ly Ana river, ex- fact. Work upon it is progressing rapidly. The walls of the Sanitarium are up. The building when completed will make a fine appearance. Other buildings are being erected. Mr. Letapeich is about to build three houses for friends in the East whom he expects here the latter part of this winter. On Friday last the public school closed with appropriate exercises. The past year it has been under the tuition of Mr. Robert Furlong as principal and Miss Squires as assistant. A general interest has been manifested in the school throughout the District, and the exhibition was attended by the old as well as the young, so that the house was quite filled. The different exercises were agreeably arranged, the parts well rendered, and all present were pleased with the good success. Mr. Furlong is an earnest, energetic teacher, and, with the cooperation of his assistant, he seems not only to have infused in the school a zeal for study very commendable, but by suitably classifying and grading the scholars his efforts have been efficient in promoting their advancement. At the expressed wish of the District his services have been retained for another year. I have noticed of late that as December wears away that the farmers and sheep men go about with a peculiar cross-eyed look. One eye seems to be directed towards the heavens and the other glancing over the country. It seemed so common yet so queer to me that I concluded to ask a friend the cause of this ocular phenomenon. He informed me that it is the way people have in this country of looking for rain. I guess it is getting dry. Where is the Prophet? AROUND THE COUNTY.

A Herald Washington special says that it was decided last Saturday to send General Sheridan on a tour of inspection through Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama, with instructions to report as speedily as possible. The order reached Sheridan yesterday, and he is probably on his way South, and he will reach New Orleans on Wednesday. General Emory will continue to command the Department of the Gulf, and Colonel De Trobrian be in charge of the Federal forces at New Orleans. An amended petition in the matter of the California Pacific Railroad, in the attempt of the German bondholders to throw its affairs into bankruptcy, was filed in the Clerk's office of the United States District Court at San Francisco on Monday. The names of a large number of the creditors of the road are appended, and it is claimed that the petition now represents more than the necessary one-third of the indebtedness. A despatch dated New Orleans, December 29th, says: Some days ago Governor Warmoth published a letter in the Bulletin, advocating the Civil Rights bill. The Bulletin editorially attacked Warmoth bitterly in an article reflecting on his personal character. To this Warmoth replied in a card, published in the Picayune, in which he severely attacked Mr.Jewell editor of the Bulletin. Yesterday Jewell challenged Warmoth, and the latter accepted, with the conditions that pistols should be the weapons, and the distance ten paces. About noon to-day, while Warmoth was walking along Canal street, he met and was attacked by D.C.Byerly, chief editor of the Bulletin, who struck him three times over the head with a loaded cane. Warmoth then drew a knife and stabbed Byerly five times in the side and groin. Byerly died at 10:20 P.M. Warmoth who has a severe scalp wound, was arrested and is now in jail. There is great excitement in the city. Public sympathy is with Warmoth. Byerly was intoxicated at the time of the difficulty. A later telegram says that after undergoing an examination Warmoth was discharged. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
