ANAHEIM VOL. VI. Anaheim Gazette SATURDAY...JAN. 22, 1875. THE LOS ANGELES PRESS AND COUNTY DIVISION. The Los Angeles Press fails to get a true idea of the status of the question of County Division. The Star quotes from an Anaheim correspondent, and lays the whole movement at the door of one of our citizens. If it were true that there were only one public spirited man at the bottom of this movement, he certainly is worthy of honor for his courage and patriotism. The Star says it is in receipt of letters indicating a unanimous opposition to the movement. There is opposition, but unfortunately for the force of the Star's conclusion, it only appears because of a fear that the new county seat will not be put in the place desired by the opposition. The entire people are for division, but some within old their votes or signatures from the petition to the Legislature, solely on the ground that some other town than their own may get the county seat. The opinion is unanimous that division must come some time, that it ought to come at once, but like dogs in a manhole. EVILS OF THE TIMES. Ex-Governor Dix, of New York, has, as we see by the New York Tribune, in a late address, given expression to certain warnings, which, coming from one of so long and so varied experience, are worthy of special note by all American citizens. In his speech he refers to things which have been noticed before by others, but which come with special emphasis from the lips of one so ripe in knowledge of public affairs and of the tendencies of our times. He refers to the fearful demoralization of the public service by the abuse of patronage. It has now come to be the regular thing for men to go into politics as a profession. The keen manager of men will make large sums by ways entirely incomprehensible to innocent persons. The service of the Nation is looked upon by many as merely the getting more or less near to the National Treasury and pulling therefrom all one can for himself and his friends. The payment of political debts by Governmental positions; the base idea that to the victor belongs the spoils; the false assumption that there are or ought to be spoils at all; and the repetition of these views in succeeding generations, will destroy us as a people just as certainly as Babylon. Per Jan. 1st, 1875, in morning, the pass ship Salvador went lighter, from which tuious windings, tha dled like sheep l amid much grumble disburse the modes fore being set at lit to go their several Wilmington.

The entire people are for division, but some withhold their votes or signatures from the petition to the Legislature, solely on the ground that some other town than their own may get the county seat. The opinion is unanimous that division must come some time, that it ought to come at once, but like dogs in a manager, many will not work for it simply because of an insane fear that they cannot have the Court House and Jail at their back door. If anything kills this movement it will be miserable local petty jealousies. In regard to remarks made by the Express on Tuesday, it may be said that whether the matter of a new Court House enters into this question will be easily determined when it is considered that no appraising of the assets of the county will secure to the part set off the amount it would necessarily contribute to the new office. If, instead of putting $50,000 or $100,000 into a new Court House and Jail at Los Angeles, and at a division of property five or ten years hence, getting $20,000 or $30,000 back as our share of the assets, why not keep the whole, and save especially that part of our share which would sink into that abyss where so much of public money goes nowadays when public buildings are erected. The amount we would be forced to contribute to put up county buildings at Los Angeles would be quite sufficient to complete suitable structures for the new county, if expended with the economy and honesty, which we propose using in the new enterprise. Now, will the Los Angeles Press please tell us truly and frankly why they are so much exercised about our future? Why do they fear we are to become burdened by heavy taxation? What has developed such sudden interest in our pecuniary welfare? If the people of this end of the county want a new county, and that they do there can be no question, why need Los Angeles oppose it? On the abstract question of a new county, the vote would be unanimous. This everyone concedes, but with the opposition of the eastern end of the county, for purposes we can only surmise, and which we wish the Los Angeles Press would explain, joined to the opposition of those few here, who only lend their influence to this side of the question because of local jealousies. Nation is looked upon by many as merely the getting more or less near to the National Treasury and pulling therefrom all one can for himself and his friends. The payment of political debts by Governmental positions; the base idea that to the victor belongs the spoils; the false assumption that there are or ought to be spoils at all; and the repetition of these views in succeeding generations, will destroy us as a people just as certainly as Babylon, Persia, Greece or Rome were destroyed. And in close connection with this evil the Governor refers to the debasement of our Judiciary. This cannot fail to follow the debasement of politics and the suicidal practice of filling the offices of the judges by election. Then on another side of human interest is found a terrible cancer in the weakening of the tone of public morals, in the loosening of family ties, in which the marriage relation is debased into a limited partnership, and the home becomes only a place of business. Home government is omitted, and children come to maturity without any knowledge of self-control. Besides these, the speaker referred to the prevalence of dishonesty in business circles in regard to actual trade and also in the quality of articles manufactured; and as a last step in the descending climax, he refers to the indifference of the better class of citizens to the exercise of their privilege as voters. If good men stay away from political meetings, refuse to take office, and neglect to vote, there will be horries of bad men, schemers and ambitious people to take up the reins and drive the team. To check the terrible system of giving offices to the adherents of a political party, Governor Dix proposes that the President be elected for six years and that he be ineligible for a second term. He holds that Judges should be appointed by the Governor. He believes that every voter who neglects to vote for two years should lose his privilege to vote; and to improve morals in families and business, he urges the diffusion of education and religion. These suggestions are of very great importance, for they come from a high source, and are designed to cure great evils. It won't do for the American people in this centennial year to close its eyes and fondly dream that all is well. The greater we are, the more rapid our growth, the vaster our opportunities as a nation, the more we should search out every source of Nation is looked upon by many as merely the getting more or less near to the National Treasury and pulling therefrom all one can for himself and his friends.

On the abstract question of a new county, the vote would be unanimous. This everyone concedes, but with the opposition of the eastern end of the county, for purposes we can only surmise, and which we wish the Los Angeles Press would explain, joined to the opposition of those few here, who only lend their influence to this side of the question because of local jealousies and not because opposed to division, the matter may go hard. By a new county we do not support two sets of public officers, as the Express states will be the case, but for a set which now draws large sums in fees and in interest for the use of public money, which fees and interest permit the expenditure of thousands of dollars for an election, we propose to substitute a set of officers who shall do the county work at small salaries, and then keep all fees and interest to accrue to county benefit. Now, let the Los Angeles Press tell us just the true and honest reason why they exhibit so much zeal in the matter, and why they misrepresent the state of the question by quoting opposition without giving the true reason for that opposition, which is not against division as a matter of public good, but simply because of local jealousy? HOP CULTURE.—One of the most paying crops that can be raised in California is hops. There is, and most likely always will be, a good demand for them. Parties who have lived in hop growing sections and knowing whereof they speak, say that Sisklyou is well adapted both in climate and soil for raising superior crops of this article and that there is no doubt but they would yield immensely. It is articles like these, that will bear the expense of transportation, to which our farmers ought to give their attention, and we have often wondered why some of them did not plant hops, at least to give them a trial. We are satisfied that any person who would engage in their culture would not regret it, but on the contrary would find it a source of much profit.—Freka Union. The Grape Cure. Among the most agreeable hygienic processes extant must be reckoned the grape cure. There are on the continent of Europe numerous establishments devoted to the use of the remedy. The juice of the grape, containing according to a medical authority, 25 per cent. of its weight in active agents—glucose, tartaric acid, chalk, soda, oxides of iron, and manganese in combination with sulphuric acid, biosphoric acid, etc. There is some reason for comparing this "organic mineral water," as it has been called, with the inorganic, the curative powers of which are so universally recognized, and for expecting the same results from it. The treatment is very simple. It consists in eating an immense quantity of grapes, the thin-skinned sweet white varieties being best for the purpose. The patient takes but little ordinary food, and is required to eat three or four pounds of the fruit a day just at first, the quantity being gradually increased to eight, ten, and even twelve pounds of grapes. They are, if possible, to be eaten in the open air, in the vineyard whence the supply is derived—an arrangement which no doubt greatly conduces to the efficiency of the cure. It is frequently undertaken in their practice by French physicians, who possess the material for it, in the Incomparable Changelaa.—Weekly Examiner.

Jan. 1st, 1875, in the gray of the morning, the passengers of the good ship Salvador were huddled upon a lighter, from which after various toppous windings, they were again huddled like sheep into a corral, and amid much grumbling, were made to disburse the modest sum of $1.50 before being set at liberty, and allowed to go their several ways in peace at Wilmington. The traveler for Anaheim could proceed by cars as far as Downey, and then come leisurely by stage the rest of the way, making the astonishing time of 22 miles in 36 hours! This seemed the popular route, as only one passenger came by the coach direct from Wilmington, and was obliged to admire in solitude the varied and picturesque natural objects on the way; which consisted mainly of sheep on the one hand, and alkali and wild geese on the other. No rain had fallen for some time, and the evidence that this was indeed semi-tropical California, was not on the whole, very convincing; and a dustier, hungrier mortal never entered Anaheim Hotel than this same somewhat disgusted passenger.

Mr. Edwards adds to his business of stationer, glass, doors, blinds and paint. Clam soup, we recently found out, is not bad to take. The Union Sabbath School moves its base of operations to the school house. The M. E. Church talk of accompanying the same. We now rack our brain over the subject of County Division. It may be and it may not be a good thing; these are our sentiments. A ride to Tustin the other day surprised us. Quite a number of new buildings have been erected; some very good ones. The principal item of excitement was the runaway team belonging to Jim Rust. They brought up on each side of a sycamore tree, and dissolved partnership; wagon badly damaged. The nurserymen hereabouts are getting rid of their trees at a rapid rate. Now is the time to purchase town lots. Seventy-three are offered for sale by M. F. Parker, agent. The smiling countenance of Blon shone on us for a few moments yesterday. "Short favors thankfully received;" long ones in the same proportion. Edward Milas called, and should we be converted on the County Division question it is all owing to his conversion... as near rolling and varied and picturesque natural objects on the way; which consisted mainly of sheep on the one hand, and alkali and wild geese on the other. No rain had fallen for some time, and the evidence that this was indeed semi-tropical California, was not on the whole, very convincing; and a dustier, hungrier mortal never entered Anaheim Hotel than this same somewhat disgusted passenger. My first object (it is needless to keep up the third person longer), after dinner, was to seek conveyance to some point in the country, the exact location of which was shrouded in mystery, and my absurdity in asking the stable keeper for a team to go to "Stearns' Ranch," (supposing it to be a tolerably large farm and my friend's forty acres quite a slice of it) was only equalled by my dismay upon being told, "It was all around us —Anaheim itself was a part of it." To think or looking for one old bachelor, a stranger too, in such a waste as this! The Postmaster being a Government official, was disqualified accordingly, and "couldn't be supposed to know the whereabouts of every stranger in the community." It finally occurred to me that I might as well apply at headquarters, the office of the land agent. Here all difficulties ceased; and soon I was passing over as uninteresting a tract as I had seen, except the road from Wilmington. A sea of mustard stalks as high as the horses heads, before, behind, to the right and left. Not a tree or shrub, or an acre of cultivated land. If the ride was desolate, the arrival was more so.

He will find all along the route tokens of substantial improvement in new buildings, better cultivation and a general thriftiness everywhere. The new settlement of a year ago has multiplied to eight families instead of two; comfortable dwellings for the most part have taken the place of the settlers' shanty. The land has been thoroughly cultivated and yielded nothing like the visions of a year ago, but a moderate increase; trees have been planted, flowers cultivated, and a home look given to the hitherto useless and waste country. This is only the result of variegated and picturesque natural objects on the way; which consisted mainly of sheep on the one hand, and alkali and wild geese on the other.

Grand Jury Report CELERY.—The habitual use of colery is more beneficial to us than is commonly supposed. A writer who is familiar with its virtues says: "I have known many men, and women too, who from various causes had become so much affected by nervousness that when they stretched out their hands they shook like aspen leaves on windy days, and by a moderate daily use of the blanched foot-stalks of celery as a salad, they became as strong and steady in limb as other people. I have known others so nervous that the least annoyance put them in a state of agitation, and they were in constant perplexity and fear, who were also effectually cured by a moderate daily use of blanched celery as a salad at meal time. I have known others cured of palpitation of the heart. Everybody engaged in labor weakening to the nerves should use celery daily in the season, and quail in its stead when not in season." Grand Jury Report. The following is the report made by the Grand Jury Thursday: To the Hon. J. K. S. Q'Melveny, Judge of the County Court of Los Angeles County, State of California; Herewith annexed, we respectfully submit our report as Grand Jurors for Los Angeles, State of California, for the January term, 1876. Twenty-two cases have been submitted for our consideration. We have found true bills of indictment in fourteen cases. We have also ignored bills in three cases presented and have dismissed three cases. Two cases have been recommended to the next Grand Jury. Mary Brown, subpoenaed as a witness before this Grand Jury did not make her appearance. We have duly inspected the County Hospital and Jail. At the Hospital we find fifty-seven patients, who are comfortably provided for. The wards are well ventilated and cleanly kept. Twenty-five beds have been added since the last report. There is now ample accommodation for seventy-five patients. We find the County Jail unsuitable for the purpose for which it is used, but it is kept in as good condition as the character and capacity of the building will allow. Conspicuous was made by the prisoners of lack of food and insufficient bedding. We would respectfully recommend the erection of a new jail building as soon as practicable. Our thanks are due to the Sheriff and Deputy District Attorney for the courtesy and facilities extended to us during our session. J. S. MALLARD, Foreman. THE MISSION OF THE HEBREW RACE.—The Hebrew race are supposed to number from 6,000,000 to 7,000,000, and the Hebrew Leader tells us that: The Jews were ever a great race from the time they first became a nation, and it is as impossible to compute or approximate their numbers, looking back into Israel's antiquity, when Terah and Abraham journeyed southward from Mesopotamia, as it is now. If however, we bear in mind the old prophecy that the descendants of Abraham shall become as numerous as the stars of Heaven and the sands of the sea, we opine the dimensions of Palestine would be found rather too limited, and hardly answering all requirements, but we doubt whether that land will ever become the home of Israel, despite tradition, for the very reason that they have strengthened in dispersion, and grown under the favorable auspices of civilization to become one of the most important and formidable people on the face of the globe, preserving a distinctive individuality, held together under the most trying and adverse circumstances by a faith former than Sinai's Mount, from which it was promulgated. ON THE WAR PATH.—Two members of the Legislature had an altercation in a Front street saloon yesterday morning, and gave indications of going for their pistols, but the hartender sprang around the counter and directed them if they wished to indulge in arguments of such force; to step out upon the sidewalk. They quieted down without shooting, though one threw out a suggestion that he was ready whenever the other felt like "turning loos." Item gatherers begin to have hopes of this Legislature—See Record.

At a meeting held at the school house on Friday evening to discuss County Division, A. Johnson of Orange was, without opposition, chosen, Chairman and Dr. Burtnett of Santa Ana, Secretary. Mr. Guinn first addressed the meeting, his speech consisting chiefly of statistic showing that Los Angeles was the heaviest taxed agricultural county in the State, and has a debt that is exceeded by only two counties in the State; that twenty odd of the present counties of the State had a smaller population and less wealth than the county as proposed. Mr. Wicks was then called upon and read the bill creating the new county. He was followed by Mr. Dimmock, who said he recognized the necessity for county division, but had no confidence in the politicians of Anaheim, as politicians were the same world over. He stated that he saw many things objectionable in the bill for the creation of the county, among other things the Coroner’s bond should be increased to $50,000, and the number of Supervisors be increased to six. Mr. Wicks next spoke at some length, urging the usual reasons assigned for county division. Messrs. Spurgeon, McFadden, Jones, Burtnett and one other gentleman also of Santa Ana. MISCELLANY. The oldest Odd Fellow in the world died in Newport, R. L., last Friday evening. He has been an Odd Fellow ever since 1812. When a boy he used to go to school to Susan B. Anthony.

And how mortarfled the plaintiff Brick will feel if the costs are plastered on him. The Macomber Brothers, of Sausa, on 13 acres of orchard land, produced and shipped last year 100,000 pounds of apples, 95,000 pounds of pickles, 220 barrels of vinegar and 50 barrels and 15,000 cases of older, and with increased freighting facilities, expect to find a market for five times that amount. A Virginia man who was locked up for maudlin drunkenness, Saturday night, had the following pledge in his pocket: "Rules for New Years." I, do solumlee aware that during the cummin year of 1876 I wont chew, aware, or smoak. I do solumlee aware that during the cummin year of 1876 I wont drink no licker of Enny kind what-soever. Sohelp my god amen." A Circassian girl in Reading, Pa., shows a pair of stockings that she says she made entirely out of her own hair. They are thick, heavy and soft, and seem to be of pure hair. The upper edges are secured with scarlet worsted work. She says her hair grows to a great length, and that she is obliged to have it cut. The stockings were knitted while she was on exhibition at Barnum's museum. This in the politicians of Anaheim, as politicians were the same the world over. He stated that he saw many things objectionable in the bill for the creation of the county, among other things the Coroner's bond should be increased to $50,000, and the number of Supervisors be increased to six. Mr. Wicks next spoke at some length, urging the usual reasons assigned for county division. Messrs. Spurgeon, McFadden, Jones, Burtnett and one other gentleman also of Santa Ana, severally addressed the meeting. The chief reason urged against the division at the present time was that the present center of population is not the geographical center of the county and that if the county-seat were located at Anaheim, even temporarily, the two points might never approach each other. Judge Anderson of Orange urged forebly many reasons why county division should take place at once. A. Johnson, Chairman of the meeting being repeatedly called upon, and being relieved from the Chair by a vote, temporarily placing Judge Anderson therein, arose and said that he was convinced of the advisability of the move and the necessity of county division, but that he could use no more convincing arguments than had already been adduced. After much scattering debate, Mr. Johnson having resumed the chair, Dr. Burtnett moved the adoption of resolutions to the effect that in the opinion of this meeting County Division is at present unadvisable; that when the county is divided, the county seat should be located on the south side of the Santa Ana River. Motion seconded. Mr. Wicks moved as a substitute that "County Division is unadvisable until such a time as after an exact count of all the noses in this end of the county, it is determined beyond a reasonable doubt that the county seat will be located at Santa Anna." Substitute decided not allowable, and a vote was taken on the resolution of Dr. Burtnett, of Santa Ana, Ayes, six or seven, including the Santa Ana votes; floss, ulne, including four votes of Anaheim. On motion of Dr. Burtnett, the meeting was adjourned to meet at Santa Ana on Tuesday evening January 18, 1876. Daily, Jan. 16. The Future of California. The future of California, for instance, is pleasing to dwell upon. Turn this subject as we may, it has no dark, repelling side. Brightness beams from every point, and Hope, that sheet anchor of humanity, smiles from every prominent landmark. A new world with a new ocean at its feet is ours!

A gentleman on board a steamboat with his family was asked by his children, "what made the boat go," when he gave them a very minute description of the machinery and its principles in the following word: "You see, my dears, this thingumboh here goes down through that hole and fastens the jigmarse, and that connects with the crinkum-crankum; and then that man—he's the engineer, you know—kind o' stirs up the what-do-you-call-it with a long poker, and they all shove along, and the boat goes ahead." In San Francisco, Michael Shannon, ten years old, was drowned by falling into a barrel of water, which had been sunk in his father's lot for grass to drink from. The Last Chance quicksilver mine, in Colusa county, is turning out to be one of the richest in the State, and two and a half flasks per day are being turned out from two small retorta. The narrow guage railway bridge over the Salinas river, between Salinas and Monterey, was carried away by the flood Saturday, together with 160 feet of trestle work on the south side of the river. A grand railroad mass meeting will be held at San Luis Otispo next Monday, to consider the project of building a coast narrow-gauge railway, in conjunction with the people of Santa Barbara and Ventura counties. A gentleman from the Pennsylvania oil regions has purchased 200 acres of oil land at San Fernando, and ordered extensive machinery from the East to work it. The friends of J.

A Berlin paper, the Fremdenblatt, says that the Bremerhaven dynamite affair is "psychologically explosive as a corollary of the mercantile spirit of unscrupulous smartness fostered by American civilization." Now you know all about it. The Senate Committee to investigate the affairs of the State University say that everything was found all right in the management of the University affairs except the sale of lands which were, in the opinion of the committee, sold as too low a figure.

A commerce greater than that which now traverses the Atlantic will, before many decades pass, float upon the Pacific, and then California, through her principal port of San Francisco, will become the center of the world's monetary system. A new London will be raised on this western side of the New World, which will one day compete with and finally eclipse in its commercial importance, the metropolis of Her Britannia Majesty's domains. We are growing gradually, but surely and solidly, up to that point of commercial greatness, mainly because of our favorable location. Napoleon said that Constantinople is so located as to become the seat of Empire for the world; but he knew nothing of steamboats, railroads or photography, and with these concomitants to aid us Constantinople is already cast in the shade as such sent, while San Francisco is rising up to take the place in the world's commerce that Napoleon predicted would one day belong to the great city on the Bosphorus—San. Bee. Sunflowers. They are rich in honey, and consequently good neighbors for bees. Oil, hardly to be distinguished from olive oil by any but an expert, may be extracted from the seeds in the proportion of one gallon to one bushel. One acre will produce something like fifty bushels of seeds. The seeds, too, make food not unpalatable for human beings, and very good food for animals and poultry. The Portuguese and the American Indians make a kind of bread from them and use them as a substitute for coffee. The stalks may be used as bean poles while growing. Dry, they make passable roots for sheds and the like, and burn readily on the hearth. The ashes are rich in potash. Allogether it is a very useful plant; and to crown all, it has a reputation, which the scientists have never disproved, for absorbing malaria and acting as an effective screen against that sporege of low-lying districts—fever.

The National Grangers are to hold a grand encampment near Philadelphia to attend the Centennial Exposition this year. Sixty acres of ground have been leased, and an immense building is to be erected, in which rooms and accommodations are to be provided at a cost of not more than $2 a head each day. This is done, the Grangers say, to avoid the extravagance and impatience of hotels and boarding houses. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company has consented to lay a double track to the exhibition grounds, to be used exclusively by the Grangers. The run will not be more than twenty minutes. The new building is to be lighted with gas, and supplied with hot and cold water. Shares of $50 each are to be issued to the amount of $200,000; no member being permitted to take more than one share. This sum is thought to be sufficient to cover the cost of the enterprise. Soon after Chief Justice Chase assumed the gubernatorial chair in Ohio, he issued a proclamation appointing as Thanksgiving Day. To make sure of being orthodox, the Governor composed his proclamation almost entirely of passages from the Bible, which he did not designate as quotations; presuming that every one would recognize them, and admire the fitness of the words as well as his taste of selection. The proclamation meeting the eye of a democratic editor, he pounced at once upon it, and declared that he had read it before—couldn't exactly say where—but he would take his oath that it was a downright plausibility from beginning to end. That would have been a pretty good fair joke; but the next day the Republican editor caged out valiantly in defense of the Governor; pronounced the charge libellous, and challenged any man living to proclaim one single line of the proclamation that had appeared in print before.
