INAHEIM GAZETTE SATURDAY...FEB. 5, 1876. A SUBJECT FOR LEGISLATION. Every new and then we hear of aliens wherein innocent men have been convicted of crimes and sentenced to imprisonment, but after a few years the real offender turns up, and the poor sufferer is congratulated that he has escaped, as in the case of the guillotine man who were sentenced for life for robbing the Caifon City, Oregon, stage. New, after three years, it turns out that these men are innocent, and Milton Shepardson, Dr. Phelps and others are the real criminals. Now, it cannot be but in the weakness of human powers and law the innocent will sometimes be made to bear the punishment of the guilty; and happy it is for all concerned if the life of the falsely accused be not taken. There is but little opportunity for redress in a suit against some officers of the law for false imprisonment. This is costly and unsatisfactory, and throws a burden upon the shoulders of an official, which he hardly ought to be asked to bear. A public officer is obliged to act for the people, and is supposed to do the very best he can. Sometimes it is imperative to arrest man on a bare suspicion. To neglect to do this would be often to let the golden oppugnunity to take the real culprit ally forever. Now, in this work of government the burdens of all such mistakes should fall upon the people, who are benefited. For example: If an innocent man is convicted, and after working out three or four years of the term of sentence it is discovered that some one else had committed the crime, the innocent sufferer should in such case be well paid for the time he has lost. If a man has been wrongfully put to death his family should THE SULKAN ANNUAL ARX. The Turkish question is coming to the front. The chances are that events will push to the dismemberment of that Empire. Who will get the piece remains to be seen. As a description of the Sultan of Turkey may be interesting, we condemn the following from one of Dr. Field's letters to the New York Encyclopedia: "The Sultan is not only the head of the Empire, but is to Islamism what the Pope is to the Roman Catholic Church. Once a week he appears in public. On Friday he attends worship at one of the Mosques. The Sultan is a man of very small capacity. Though occupying one of the most important positions in the world, he has no corresponding greatness of mind, no large ideas of things. He is not capable of forming any wise scheme of public policy, or any plan of government, or of persuading it with determination. He likes the pomp of royalty (and is very exacting in its etiquette) without having the cares of government. So ride in State, to be surrounded with awe and reverence, suits his royal taste; but to be bored with the details of administration, to concern himself with the oppressions of this or that Pasha, in this or that province, is quite beneath his dignity. The only thing in which he seems to be truly great is in spending money. For this his capacity is boundless. The amount taken for his personal expenses, and for his household, is something enormous. His father, Mahmoud II, managed to keep house on one hundred thousand pounds a year. But this man cannot be satisfied with less than two millions sterling. He builds magnificent palaces, yet many of them are never occupied." Of one palace Dr. Fields says: "We passed through apartment after apartment each more splendid than the last. The eye almost wearies with the succession of great halls with columns of..." opportunity to take the real culprit ally forever. Now, in this work of government the burdens of all such mistakes should fall upon the people, who are benefited. For example: If an innocent man is convicted, and after working out three or four years of the term of sentence it is discovered that some one else had committed the crime, the innocent sufferer should in such case be well paid for the time he has lost. If a man has been wrongfully put to death his family should be amply indemnified. On the other hand, if any man should seek by conspiracy to get work and high pay by a put-up trial, then his original term of service should be doubled; and all aiding and abetting should be compelled to join him in a more or less extended imprisonment. We cannot avoid the burdens coming from the impartial administration of justice. We must act as jurors, and when called, serve as witnesses; but if one is detained as a witness, he should also be well paid. The public and not the individual should bear the burden. If justice has made a mistake, certainly those for whom the balances are adjusted should be just enough to correct the fault as far as may be. This is a point our Legislature ought to take up; and this State should be placed on record as foremost in matters of strict justice as she is in so many other important interests. The Republican gives the following picture of Los Angeles in winter: No ice, no snow, no frost, no hall, but sunny days and bracing nights. No leafless trees, no cloudy skies, beautiful foliage everywhere, the skies radiant overhead. Hills grassy green, the orange groves bright with golden fruit, the luscious strawberry ripening on the ground. The gardens fragrant with blooming roses and the frugal housekeeper rejoiced with green peas, green corn, radishes, new potatoes and lettuce. This is an every day winter picture in Los Angeles, and yet many of our friends are dragging out a miserable existence in the East, where blank winter reigns, where vegetation is dead, where humanity struggles for existence. Ours is heaven's favored land, where man can rest, where nature does it all. Tell your friends of nature's beauty of beds of roses, of our tropic islands and have them share the country with us. We received yesterday several commissions in response to the statement of Mr. Wicks, regarding the inefficiency to take the real culprit ally forever. Now, in this work of government the burdens of all such mistakes should fall upon the people, who are benefited. For example: If an innocent man is convicted, and after working out three or four years of the term of sentence it is discovered that some one else had committed the crime, the innocent sufferer should in such case be well paid for the time he has lost. If a man has been wrong-fully put to death his family should be amply indemnified. On the other hand, if any man should seek by conspiracy to get work and high pay by a put-up trial, then his original term of service should be doubled; and all aiding and abetting should be compelled to join him in a more or less extended imprisonment.

We do not publish them, because 1st, they advance no new argument, and 2d., because of their extreme length. As the people unanimously desire a town government, would it not be well for them to indorse the bill as presented (if it meets with their approbation) in order to make certain of its passage? An exchange contains a conspicuous advertisement of a new plano instruction of such wonderful construction that "all who read it can play in a few months." This reminds us of a patent medicine advertisement in which it was stated that a certain afflicted person "read the advertisement and was sured." This is reducing homeopathy to a very attenuated point. The National House of Representatives have passed a bill making the passage on third-class matter, which includes transient newspapers, one cent for every two ounces—the same as previous to the last session, when a provision was unapplied into the ministry of civil appropriation bill making the passage to one cent an ounce. GEN. PRINCESS RANKING, having been appointed Brigadier-General of the first brigade January 19th, 1872, his term has expired, and is devolved to the Governor in appoint a minister, Colonel E. N. Sandford, of Los Angeles county, and Major B. J. Sagrista, of San Bernardino, are mentioned for the position. Now that it is proposed to extend the franchise to the moon-eyed race, it would be well if the great American pot-house politicians should learn something of the manners and customs of the people, whose votes they will, in a few years, be soliciting. Some of their customs are well worthy of imitation, as, for instance, their habit of religiously paying their debts at the commencement of the new year. And now from the classical region of Red Bluffs the telegraph brings the following tale of a beautiful Chinese custom: "Ah Gin's brother states that he lost his opium pipe on Monday, and when he ascertained that his most valued household god had gone, he went to his brother's apartments last evening and assaulted Ah Chin, an occupant, with the pipe, inflicting several frightful gashes. He assigned as his reason for the assault upon an unoffending party that Chinese customs forbade an assault upon his brother; but that the theft had to be punished in some way; so he pounded his brother's roommate. He was convicted of assault and battery. We give place to-day to a statement by Mr. Wicks, in regard to the incorporation bill. It seems that the petition accompanying the bill was signed by seven property owners, that the bill read was by only two persons; and that "the opposition chiefly is not from a desire to know what is proposed, but to propose." This statement is entirely satisfactory; and we hope that no one will be found English enough to insist that the manners appealed to the position were insufficient or that the tax-payers have any right to propose suggestions in regard to the law by which it is proposed they shall be governed. Town Oakland Treasurer says it is reported that Mr. Barrier, of the South Tropical Free of that city, has sold his paper to Dr.Witt C. Lawrence, late of the Saint Helena Star, for $1,500. "The SAME OLD STORY." The horrors of a Fortress and Mill-destroyed Houses. Says the Deloitte Free Press: "When the Captain at the Ninth Avenue Station returned from dinner yesterday, he found a lady waiting him. She had a half-fashion, half-narrow look, and, as the Captain hung up his evening, he said to himself that some one had been killing that woman's only ear, or the boys had been clobbing her bone goat. "You wanted to see me?" he asked, as he sat down. She handed forward until her sharp nose touched his cheek, and whispered: "I did." "Has your husband been abusing you?" he inquired. "No; I haven't any husband—it's the same old story!" "What old story?" "Breach of promise." "Let's me," mused the Captain, "didn't you have a similar complaint about three months ago?" "I did," she answered. "And a similar one about 3 months before that?" "I told you it was the same old story. Now, let me begin at the beginning and tell you the whole story right through, and then see if you don't think I ought to have help from the police." "Well, be brief." "Don't tell a heart-broken woman to be brief," she said, and then, wiping her eyes, she began: "A year ago I was in love. I was a promised bride. I was happy. In the midst of my happiness, the base rascal married a girl in Winsor." "That's No. 1," said the Captain. "Yes, that's No. 1. I was broken-hearted, but I loved again. He seemed like a nice man, and we were to go to Port Huron, and live in grand style, and keep six servants, and all that. He turned out to be a liar and a wretch. He borrowed $15 of me, and ran away!" "That's number two," said the Captain, as he stopped to adjust his false teeth. "I loved again," she sighed. "It's curious how often people can love. I didn't let him know that I loved him until I found he was worthy, and he said that he didn't know what love there seems to be much suffering among the genteel poverty stricken women at Washington, this winter."

They have taken rooms at the Palace Hotel, and will remain in this city several days. The steamer Congsville in coming up the harbor last evening, struck on a rock. She floated off on the flood without serious damage. Dr. Gibbon's report to the Board of Health on the water supply stated that on the land of the Spring Valley Company, on the San Mateo creek, he found several dairies, the refuse from which ran into the creek, polluting the water. To counteract the effects of this filthy water the San Francisco people drink, a man named Shaddock who has a ranch on the same creek... "Yes, that's No. 1. I was broken-hearted, but I loved again. He seemed like a nice man, and we were to go to Port Huron, and live in grand style, and keep six servants, and all that. He turned out to be a liar and a wretch. He borrowed $15 of me, and ran away." "That’s number two," said the Captain, as he stopped to adjust his false teeth. "I loved again," she sighed. "It’s curious how often people can love. I didn’t let him know that I loved him until I found he was worthy, and he said that he didn’t know what love was until he saw me. He went down to Toledo to see his dying uncle, and he never came back. He wrote to me, though — wrote me that he could never marry a woman with a cork foot. Some one had deceived him. I haven’t a cork foot at all. I was going to take poison, but I did’t. I was going to find him and shoot him, but I concluded that a man who would find fault about a cork foot would be a mean husband, and so I let him go!" "And now for No. 4," said the Captain. "Turned out like all the rest," she replied with quivering chin. "I loved him and he loved me, and all was bliss until yesterday. Then I found out that he hadn’t money enough to board him a week, and when I began to question him, he grew mad and started for Chicago." "What do you want me to do?" asked the officer, as she bent her head and sobbed. "Oh, I don’t know! It seems hard that I should have to bear all this, while other women don’t have any trouble at all! How long—how long. Captain, can a woman stand such conduct before the grave will hide her?" "It's hard," she sighed. "It wears on me, Captain. I can't be loving all the time. I'm getting old, and I want to settle down and know where I am. It disturbs my peace of mind to love a fat man, then a tall man, and then a short man, and to be wondering whether we shall have a cook and an upstairs girl, or whether we'll make the cook do all the work." "It's very wrong," he said. "If they want to marry me, why don't they marry?" she sobbed drawing on her gloves. The echoes had a mournful sound as they answered: "Why don’t they?" Boucignat and Disraeli. Dion Boucleault signalized the late New Year's Day by a letter to Disraeli, Premier of Great Britain, in favor of the granting of a pardon to the few Fenian prisoners yet remaining "in durance vile." The letter is full to overflowing with patriotism, as well as a generous humanity. It is eloquent, calm, dignified, feeling. All of those condemned for the Fenian attempt at revolution, except twelve or fourteen, have been pardoned, and Mr. Boucleault asks whether it would not be an advisable step on the part of Her Majesty's Government to pardon these men, especially since all the leaders in the insurrection have already been pardoned. He says that during the A Western lady gives the following advice to girls engaged in looking up husbands: "Look out for physical health and beauty for the sake of the race. Do not bestow a glance on the lean, dyspeptic, cadaverous biped; shinn him as you would a pestilence." The Western Pennsylvania Butter Convention has just concluded its session at Meadville. The deliberations of this Society related to dairies, and not, as might be supposed, to the breeding of rams. There seems to be much suffering among the genteel poverty stricken women at Washington, this winter. A few days ago two ladies, descendants of three of the most distinguished men whose names are interwoven with the history of this country, were turned out of their home in that city for the non-payment of rent. New Jersey is a fortunate State. She has no debt, except the war debt, and that amounts to only $2,396,000. It is the harmless diversion of some papers to make fun of this State, which has her peculiarities, but has developed a remarkable faculty of thriving out of the mistakes of her big and foolish sisters. But a State that keeps out of debt in these days deserves both eulogy and limitation. Paisley, near Glasgow, is probably the greatest thread manufacturing centre in the world, its exports for sewing cotton for last year amounting to near $8,000,000. The United States is the best customer, taking last year 2,314 pounds, valued at $2,450,000. The exportation to this country, however, is decreasing, the Coatsies and Clarks, two of the largest firms, having established mills in this country, and American enterprise also having successfully gone into the business. It is reported, says the Sacramento Record-Union that a woman attired as a man has been working in this city as a barber for the last six months without her sex being known except by members of her own family, but recently there was a family trouble, and she, learning that her secret had been betrayed, left town a few days since. She is now about 40 years of age, and it is said, has worn the garb of a man for more than half her life. This well, which is over four thousand feet in depth, is in the village of Sperenberg, about twenty miles from Berlin. It was begun about five years ago by the government authorities, to ascertain the existence of rock salt beneath the strata of gypsum occurring in that locality. At a depth of two hundred and eighty feet the salt was reached. The boring was prosecuted by steam until the final depth was attained. At the lowest point the salt deposits still continue. Mary Murdock Mason divides her sex into three classes—the giddy butterflies, the busy bees and the woman's righters. The first are pretty and silly, the second plain and useful, the third mannish and odious. The first wear long, trailing dresses and smile at you while waltzing: the second wear aprons and give you apple dumplings; and the third want your manly prerogatives, your dress coat, your money and your vote. Dr. Gibbon's report to the Board of Health on the water supply stated that on the land of the Spring Valley Company, on the San Mateo creek, he found several dairies; the refuse from which ran into the creek, polluting the water. To counteract the effects of this filthy water the San Francisco people drink, a man named Shaddock who has a ranch on the same creek, threw dead hog's offal and other things of the same nature into the stream, and yet his report winds up with the assertion that the city is supplied with far purer water than most towns in the country. In fact the water is purer than wells. A drunken woman living on Valpariso street, on Saturday afternoon beat her son nine years old, so severely that in his terror he climbed out of a second story window and dropped in the space between two houses. He was jammed so tightly between the walls that to save him from suffocation carpenters had to cut away the walls to extricate him. Resolutions were adopted by the Board of Supervisors last night authorizing the appointment of a committee of three to make arrangements for the proper celebration of the Centennial. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 61. The steamer Belgiec from Japan today brings news that war is anticipated between Japan and Corea; that a Japanese special envoy to Corea had sailed on the 6th inst. for Corea; also an iron-clad, accompanied by transports with a number of troops; and it was expected that early in February a large force would sail from Japan to invade Corea. The Japanese budget for 1876 gives an estimated increase of the revenue of nine million dollars. WASHINGTON, Jan. 81. The Senate after the expiration of the morning hour, took into consideration the House Joint resolution to pay interest on the three sixty-five District of Columbia bonds. The debate was continued till adjournment. HOUSE—Under the call of States for bills, over two hundred new ones were introduced; also several resolutions under suspension of rules; ordering new investigations among which was one by Luttrell; investigating the several Pacific railroads; one by Backner; investigating the affairs of the District of Columbia; in Comma New Year's Day by a letter to Dirksen, Premier of Great Britain, in favor of the granting of a pardon to the few Fenian prisoners yet remaining "in durance vile." The letter is full to overflowing with patriotism, as well as a generous humanity. It is eloquent, calm, dignified, feeling. All of those condemned for the Fenian attempt at revolution, except twelve or fourteen, have been pardoned, and Mr. Boucicault asks whether it would not be an advisable step on the part of Her Majesty's Government to pardon these men, especially since all the leaders in the insurrection have already been pardoned. He says that during the one hundred representations of the "Shaughrann" in London, which two hundred thousand persons have witneased, the play which is founded upon the idea of an Irishman condemned to transportation, escaping, returning to his native country, arrested and finally pardoned by Her Majesty; not one person, from the Prince of Wales to the poorest spectator, has ever uttered one word of condemnation. Yet, lost his motives should be doubled, and the public and Government think that his appeal to the Premier is a mere stage trick to aid his personal aims, he announces that he has withdrawn forever from the Lemlon stage this play, while in full favor with the public, thus voluntarily sacrificing two thousand dollars per night, in order that his motives may not be misconstrued. He says that "Twenty millions of people with English hearts in American breasts, sympathise with these twelve or fourteen prisoners, and that they respect the mother country, and would love her dearly if she would let them. One crowning act of humanity would be worth a dozen master-strokes of policy; and the great treaty to be established with the United States is neither the Canadian Fisheries nor the border line of the Pacific Ocean—it is the hearty collection of the English people." It is an eloquent, sensible letter, and we are interested to see what answer the author of "Lothals" will return to the writer of "Shaughrann." The women want to use about two-thirds of the space covered by the Conduential buildings for the exhibition of specimens of female clothing worn during the last century; but the Commissioners are obliterate, and the Indie declare that the whole Conduential scheme is bound to fail. Mary Murdock Mason divides her sex into three classes—the giddy butterflies, the busy bees and the woman's righters. The first are pretty and silly, the second plain and useful, the third mannish and odious. The first wear long, trailing dresses and smile at you while walking: the second wear aprons and give you apple dumplings; and the third want your manly prerogatives, your dress-coat, your money and your vote. Mrs. Sieger writes to the Woman's Journal to say that, having made the subject her study, she is forced to the conclusion that the feeling exists among wives that husbands, as a rule, do, in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred, desire the physical rather than the mental, and that this consciousness is most humiliating. The fact, she adds, becomes no painfully palpable, if the wife is for a long time an invalid, that but few can doubt it. The cultivation of the white poppy far for the production of opium, is said to be meeting with marked success in Tennessee. A small quantity of the imported seed was planted last year by Dr. Pitts and the seed obtained from this was exclusively employed for planting this year. The plants are larger and more vigorous, and the capsules from two to ten times as large as those from the imported seeds. The opium obtained from these plants has the characterless narcotic order and bitter taste of the ordinary drug, and presents a smooth, tenuous mass of a dark brown color. California comes to the front with a couple of remarkable girls, and the country is challenged to produce their equals. They are the Misses Purdy of Long Valley. Besides being posted in all that pertains to dress they can and so often harrow home of their own breaking; and in cases of emergency can mount the ranger and draw on cloudy a line over a pair of coins as the best among the so called loads of creation. This year they are in the point business on a small scale. Last Spring they discussed six pounds of potatoes of choice variation. They planted this seed, hand it thunnulves and dig $17] pounds of spudlike potatoes as the result. The debate was continued till adjournment. House.—Under the call of States for bills, over two hundred new ones were introduced; also several resolutions, under; suspension of rules, ordering new investigations, among which was one by Lattrell, investigating the several Pacific railroads; one by Backner, investigating the affairs of the District of Columbia, in Committee of the Whole House. Passed—the West Point appropriation bill. Among the new bills introduced is the tariff bill by Morrison. The principle of the bill is, in the first place, to abolish all combined duties, simplifying tariffs by fixing specific rate of duty and making that specific rate the fixed rate of twenty-five or thirty per cent.' ad valorem; and secondly to reduce in general duties on these articles of importation which are now prohibited by the large duties that were imposed on them. The new bill lowers the duties on wool more than one-half, and reducing the duty correspondingly on woolen fabrics. It places on the free list every article with the exception of raw wool, including dyne, etc., which is used in the manufacturing. It imposes a duty of three cents a pound on coffee, almost on tea, five dollars per ton on pig iron. The free list is a large one. The Senate Committee on Railroad this morning heard A. K. Owens in advocacy of a bill providing for a government survey from Austin, Texas, to the harbor of Tapaleampa, on the Gulf of California, with a view to determine its advantages of this route for an inter-county railroad. Brockley, N.Y., Jan 21. The trial of Eubankstein for the murder of Stain Alexander begins today.

Raguy, S.F., machine for treating rawhide; A.Ryder, Oakland, Cal., coupling for train telegraphs; G.A.Delta, Chico, Cal., fruit driers. JAPANESE PENHOLM—When the attempt was made to establish a Japanese colony and the cultivation of the tea plant in California, we heard much of the Japanese penholm; but several of these trees fortunately fell into the possession of W.W.Hollister of Santa Barbara, and they have now commenced to bear producing a fruit shaped like a tomato, three inches in diameter and two inches deep, with five faintly marked loads, brilliant orange in color, with a skin as smooth and glossy as glass. The appearance and flavor are so fine that when numerous enough to be sold in the market—and they may not be for years—many will be bought for curiously and ornamental. The Virginia penholm; about which there has been some talk of late, cannot compete with the Japanese species.——The three-year-old almond trees at Santa Barbara have this year borne about $3 pounds each of almonds, while the two-year-old yielded about a quarter of a pound. The crop on Col. Hollister's place amounted to 17,000 pounds.——Alta. THE CAJON WHAT CROP—We are indebted to Mr O.N.

Mose Robinson was shot here about 10 o'clock last night by Stephen Baker. It seems that Baker suspected an intimidation between his wife and Robinson, and returning home unexpectedly last night, and finding him at his house, attacked him, beating him about the head with a pistol, and as Robinson ran from the house Baker shot him with a Henry rifle, the ball passing through his heart and killing him instantly. Baker immediately surrendered himself to the authorities. Both parties were of good standing in the community. Robinson has been in the employ of the Blue Ridge Flume and Lumber Company, of this place; as foreman at their mill for two seasons. He leaves a wife and several children. WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.

SAN JOSE; Feb. 2. This forenoon word was brought into town to the effect that a young lady named Martha Tillison, aged 19 years, daughter of Harian Tillison, a farmer residing between Milpitas and Berry-ons, had shot herself, and was dying. The ball was extracted about 1 o'clock and from that time till 3 she was perfectly conscious, and spoke very clearly of her death. The cause of the act is according to her statement before death briefly as follows: For some time past she has been keeping company with a young man named Norman Avery, of San Joaquin county, at present a student of the University of the Pacific, between this city and Santa Clara. For some time past they have been keeping up a correspondence, and of late as soon as a letter was received she would deny it. Last evening a letter came to hand from him, which is supposed to have contained very unpleasant news, he telling her that his affection for her had waned, and their correspondence should harm her formal life. She destroyed the letter as she had all that were received latterly, and immediately determined upon ending her life. She wrote this morning and helped her mother in attending household duties, and then went to her room, after procuring her father's pistol, and committed the fatal act. She appeared glad when the doctors told her she could not survive, and said she did not want to live. Examination after death did not indicate positively that anything had gone wrong with her. She was a highly accomplished and extremely hardworking young lady. Her presence are in affluent circumstances.
