"Anaheim Gazette SATURDAY... MARCH 11, 1876. "LET THE PEOPLE ARRIVE IN THEIR MIGHT." The Greek term from which we get the word idio, means a man who does not vote at elections; and the phrase "he does not know beans" has a somewhat similar origin, though by us merely used to designate a man of bewildered and smoky mind, who has not clearness of mental vision about anything. A word or a phrase is the crystalization of a thought and the meaning conveyed to the reflective mind by these two derivations is a very speaking one. To the Greeks it was paradoxical for a man to be other than foolish if he took no interest in the affairs of public life, and he who had not enough manhood and individuality about him to entertain decided opinions in politics was thought to be incapable by nature. Homer calls words "winged." This simple one idiot is full of interest and suggestiveness—it is as full of significance as an egg is of meat—it is like a Brodignagian soul in a Lilliputian body. It is the duty of every good citizen and conscientious man to do all that lies with reasonable exertion in his power to counteract that which is evil in the public concerns and to auxiliate that which is worthy. It was the custom in Rome, in the days of its national integrity, to decree intimes of great peril, plenipotentiary powers upon the consul during its continuance, and this decree was always made with the injunction that he exert himself, "ne respublica aliquid detrimenti caparet,"—lest the State should suffer some sort of harm. A citizen of a government like ours, A CENTENNIAL REPRESENTATION. The people of California should not hide their light under a bushel. Here is an opportunity for some of our farmers to advertise the magnificent resources of this locality without expense on their part of a dollar. The following explains itself and we recommend that it be given special attention: LAND OFFICE SOUTHERN PACIFIC RAILROAD COMPANY, SAN FRANCISCO. The Land Department of the Southern and Central Pacific Railroad companies are preparing to place on exhibition at the Philadelphia Centennial specimens that will illustrate the products of the railroad land and other lands on this coast. Agents of the company are requested to forward such specimens as they can conveniently obtain. Contributions from farmers, mine superintendents and others will be gladly received, and due credit will be given for all articles so furnished which are placed on exhibition. Samples of articles enumerated below will be of special interest. Grains of all kinds, both the kernel and the sheaf, with stalks of full length, including roots. Fruits of all kinds, fresh, preserved in alcohol or dried. All kinds of vegetables will be required in due time, of the crop of 1876. Almonds, walnuts, etc., giving the age of the tree and kind of soil. Castor beans and olives, with specimens of the oils, hemp, cotton, ramie, soap root and jute. Tobacco and hops. Wool, goats' hair, furs and skins. Specimens of soil, with a description of the locality from which they were taken, and remarks on their adaptability to different products. Minerals, ores, coal, peat, clay, borax, salt, etc. Building stone, brick, cement, etc. Wines, brandies, etc. Shells, fossils and antiquities. All specimens should be marked with the name of the locality and full address of the owner, and should be accompanied, if possible, by a short description. It would be of especial interest if with specimens of grain or power to counteract that which is evil in the public concerns and to auxiliate that which is worthy. It was the custom in Rome, in the days of its national integrity, to decree intimes of great peril, plenipotentiary powers upon the consul during its continuance, and this decree was always made with the injunction that he exert himself, "no republica aliquid detrimenti eaparet,"—lest the State should suffer some sort of harm. A citizen of a government like ours, every institution of which is subject inherently to abuse, and the more especially because of the money-worshiping tendencies of the times—a citizen of a republic, the finest theories of which are based upon an impossible Utopia—should feel this same injunction pressing upon him, and should recognize it as a constant obligation to see that so far as he can prevent, no detriment befall the land. If all worthy men would break from political lethargy and zealously bestir themselves in the cause of the right—carnestly apply themselves to the task of winnowing the wheat from the chaff of professional politicians—the flush times of these flies upon-the-chariot-wheel would cease as they would retire before deserving men, as quickly as the Indian sinks into obscurity and oblivion before the advancing wave of the superior white race. Then merit and not greg-house popularity and and money, would win the day. The fable of the fly and the chariot-wheel says that once a fly perchel himself upon the hub of the wheel, and as he sat there, going onward rapidly he exclaimed in the prince of his heart, "O! what an admirable creature I am! What a dust I raise and how fast I go?" The wheel overheard the soliloquy and replied, "Know, insignificant little creature, you are but a trivial and a useless thing, and have no part in the deeds you arrogate to yourself!" Let the mass of the people in elections and in the influence they daily exert, strive continually for good men and true, and the changes will soon be felt. The black sheep that creep in will be awed into good behavior and the people, asserting their manhood, will show the world that corrupt officials are not fair representatives of our public sentiment, and our countrymen in Europe will no longer feel the national shame which English newspapers say now causes the Americans there to hang their heads. We publish to-day the fact of the Legislature having granted to Jas. Marshal and Gen. J.A. Sutter for every month of their lives the respective Tobacco and hops. Wool, goats' hair, furts and skins. Specimens of soil, with a description of the locality from which they were taken, and remarks on their adaptability to different products. Minerals, ores, coal, peat, clay, borax, salt, etc. Bubbling stone, brick, cement, etc. Shells, fossils and antiquities. All specimens should be marked with the name of the locality and full address of the owner, and should be accompanied if possible, by a short description. It would be of especial interest if with specimens of grain or other agricultural products there be sent a description of the kind of soil where the same were grown, the mode of cultivation, the time of planting and harvesting, the yield per acre, etc. The co-operation of all who feel interested in making a successful exhibition of this kind is respectfully requested. B. B. REEDING, Land Agent. NOTICE. The attention of agents on the Los Angeles division is called to the above circular, and their co-operation in the objects set forth is expected. They are hereby authorized to forward free such articles or samples as they may collect, consigning the same to S. P. R. R. Co., care of B. B. Redling, Land Agent, San Francisco, via Wilmington, per Goodall, Nelson & Perkin S. S. line. E. E. HEWITT, Sup't. On the 10th, in the course of the debate in the State Senate, upon the Signature bill, Mr. O'Connor having the floor, Mr. Lewis, of Tehama, said: "I wish to propound a question to the Senator from Nevada." O'Conner—"Propound ahead." Lewis—"Did the Senator ever know such a rascally set of newspapers as we have in California?" O'Conner—"I will answer the Senator. I consider the press of California as able and as honorable as that of any other state in the Union. This insulting language on the part of Lewis with regard to the newspapers of the State, is a strong reminder of the old English couplet, "No thief did ever the halter draw. Without abusing of the law." This man lewis (with a little l) has been notoriously exposed by the newspapers of the State as being shamefully destitute of moral principle; and has been shown to have, in two cases, been guilty of attempting rape. No wonder then that he feels bitter towards those who have caused the finger of scorn and contempt to be pointed at him. The press is the expression of the public voice. While there are individual cases of unscrupulous and dishonest abuse of its powers, those instances are the rare exceptions, not the rule. In uprightness like the sword or his life what Shakeen en sorrow." Mentions gift of nature, and man's own will; but far more admirable able by all. A stincts and impulsive man when he concludes just as a shapeless given to the sculpture must produce the great life-work—the ties are of but secured as the pedestal, up presenting statue—placed, and while it tal, the more attentive both, the real quality in no way depends. A Background The Act relative Angeles Co., passes is statute and now it has several very odd in it. The first section that "Each Superior county shall be exerfice of Highways for and shall have them perform the same pertained to the order of Highways for Section second ppt said Supervisor same compensation dered under this act for the performance tie of his office." What advantages by having five counties in this county insterely may be applied of the bill, but it is clear to ordinary man is or ought to office of Supervisor ability to legislate the county. Here that office must not legislate upon must also be skill Nor is the requisite duties from most objectionable This law opens and corruption to is willing to develop visor district is a itself with hundred in it. The bill pt pervisor shall receive services as Road is now paid him off his duties as Suit of a Supervisor is mileage one way WE publish to-day the fact of the Legislature having granted to Jas. Marshal and Gen. J.A. Sutter for every month of their lives the respective sums of one hundred and fifty and $250. The giving of these large pensions is an unjustifiable piece of Don Quixotism. It is easy to make Fourth of July speeches and pass Buncombe resolutions about such men but the offering of opportunity for school-boy declamation, is no reason why the people should be heavily taxed to support the subjects of it. The question resembles that which arose when long ago the Greeks and the South American republics supplicated the armed intervention of the United States authorities in their favor against the governments whose sway they were striving to shake off. This occasion called forth a great deal of flowery rhetoric and many a studied gesture and fanciful quotation; but John Randolph of Roanoke, together with others, declared that however appealing the circumstances were to them as individuals, they had no right, as representatives of the great body of the people, to embark in such utter knight-errantry, and the assistance was refused. So far as these two gentlemen are concerned, they may be men of a thousand virtues, without the legal and logical aspect of the affair being altered in the least. We are glad to see in the San Bernardino papers the announcement that the woolen mill there is nearly completed, the material being all on the ground. It will be operated under the superintendence of Mr. Sacriste, papers of the State as being shamefully destitute of moral principle; and has been shown to have, in two cases, been guilty of attempting rape. No wonder then that he feels bitter towards those who have caused the finger of scorn and contempt to be pointed at him. The press is the expression of the public voice. While there are individual cases of unscrupulous and dishonest abuse of its powers, those instances are the rare exceptions, not the rule. In uprightness and propriety of action, lies not only its duty, but the essential to all permanent success. The prosperity of a newspaper cardinally corrupt, can never be more than transient, spasmodic and unnatural, and bears the same relation to a newspaper in moral health, as the writhing, contorted action of a corpse under the influence of galvanism, does to the steady, composed existence of a living body. It has been said that the civilization of a household can be correctly estimated from the quantity of soap which is used in it. The advancement of a community can certainly in this way be measured by the excellence of its schools, and the importance which the public mind attaches to them. To be niggardly and saving in that, is like giving your children mouldy flour to make their bread, because it costs less than the good—is like poisoning the fountain from which they drink. The minds of even grown-up persons are much wrought upon and influenced by their surrounding. No money will be wasted in erecting large and spacious buildings, and in furnishing them with all the scientific and literary appurtenances which will contribute to making attractive the studies in which the children are engaged. With the proper apparatus, a competent teacher can make chemistry and natural philosophy more absorbing than any romance, and more wonderful than any fairy tale. Nor is the requisite site duties from the most objectionable law open to his duties as Supervisor is mileage one way Commissioner visits district to superior collect mileage. Fixed to the amount is to do, he can be traveling, if he chooses mileage for it.

The Road this, and pay its Treasurer. For o is to receive 15 pts of the two dollar law, the person could work it out the new law that pay it in money. Of our farmers we roads can put it much better than money, and as therested in keeping good repair, the would be better than contract system The man who drives THE INTELLECTUAL AND THE MORAL. The utter downfall of Belknap through his dishonesty of administration and the well-known fact that the majority of the officials at Washington are quaking, lost the scapegoat of investigation next lay bare their rottenness, should increase in the minds of the people at large the apprehension of the dignity of virtue and the transient character of that gratification which is bought at the price of one's rectitude. Anything which invests villainy with merited contempt, and elevates the people's appreciation of the beauty of moral excellence, is a thing of public good;—the thousands that have been wring from the tax payers by these peculiations, will have been well spent if they have gone to purchase that valuable lesson. The people should awake to the fact that "all that glitters is not gold," and that nothing is so grand as not to pale its brilliancy when brought in contrast with the superior dignity of simple, upright manhood. Well indeed would it be if all could realize that there is no satisfaction, no happiness, so great as that which springs from a self approving conscience. In the midst of his integrity-bought splendor the possibility of these revelations must have hung over Belknap's head like the sword of Damocles, and made his life what Shakespeare calls "golden sorrow." Mental brilliancy is the gift of nature, and not the product of a man's own will; but mo' a' worth, the far more admirable quality, is attainable by all. A chaotic mass of instincts and impulses are inherited by a man when he comes into the world, just as a shapeless block of marble is given to the sculptor—from these each must produce the statue. This is the great life-work—the intellectual qualities are of but secondary importance. Better have employed his time in discussing States Rights, concurrent resolutions, press gag laws, or some of the many important measures of like nature, that have engaged the attention, and consumed the time of the present Legislature. Take this law, all-in-all, it is a bad one, and the sooner it is removed from the statute books, the better for the people of the county. J. M. GUINX. Apportionment of State School Fund.

SACRAMENTO, March '12. On Saturday afternoon, Lindsey introduced in the Senate a bill to amend the Act separating the office of Auditor from that of County Recorder, and to regulate official salaries in the counties of Fresno, Tulare and Kern. Passed. The motion to reconsider the passage of the detective bill was defeated. The county of San Diego was struck out of the bill to prevent the trespassing of animals on private property in San Bernardino and San Diego counties, and it then passed. WASHINGTON, March '13. Postal changes have been made in the following offices: Discontinued—Montserrate, San Diego county, California; Wambat, Tulare county, California. Postmasters appointed—K. D. French, at Poway, San Diego county, Cal. WASHINGTON, Mar. '14. Timothy G. Phelps has arrived here to oppose Wigginton's bill, which provides for judicial proceedings on the question of the correctness of the Pulgos rancho survey. Francis L. Cooley was to-day appointed Gauger for the First District of California. SACRAMENTO, March '14. In the Senate, the Archer bill and other bills on the same subject were made the special order for Thursday at 11 A.M. Pierson's bill for limiting the grounds for divorce was amended by striking out section 6, and was passed by a vote of 25 to 11. The concurrent resolution asking Congress to prevent discrimination on fares and freights was, on motion, referred to the San Francisco delegation. Shirley's bill appropriating $200,000 for the erection of workshops and prison buildings at San Quentin, passed under a suspension of the rules. Metzvey, from the Committee on irrigation, reported Satterwhite's bill providing for the irrigation of the Colorado Desert, recommending its passage; also several other bills concerning irrigation. The bills reported together with Lindsey's bill providing for a system of irrigation for the counties of Fresno, Tulare and Kern were made the special order for Fri- A Bad Law. The Act relative to highways in Los Angeles Co., passed by the present Legislature and now in force in this county has several very objectionable features in it. The first section of the act provides that "Each Supervisor of Los Angeles county shall be ex-officio Commissioner of Highways for his own district, and shall have the same power and perform the same duties as heretofore pertained to the office of Commissioner of Highways for said county." Section second provides that "Each said Supervisors shall receive the same compensation for services rendered under this act, as is now paid him for the performance of the other duty of his office." What advantage there is to be gained by having five road commissioners in this county instead of one, as formerly, may be apparent to the author of the bill, but it is certainly not very clear to ordinary comprehension. A man is (or ought to be) chosen to the office of Supervisor on account of his ability to legislate upon the affairs of the county. Hereafter candidates for that office must not only be competent to legislate upon county affairs, but must also be skilled in road making. Nor is the requiring of two such opposite duties from the same officers the most objectional feature of the bill. This law opens a bonanza for fraud and corruption to any Supervisor who is willing to develop it. Each Supervisor district is a small principality in itself, with hundreds of miles of road in it. The bill provides that the Supervisor shall receive the same pay for services as Road Commissioner, that is now paid him for the performance of his duties as Supervisor. The pay of a Supervisor is $5 per day and 20 cents mileage one way. Every time the bill provides that the Supervisor shall receive the same pay for services as Road Commissioner, that is now paid him for the performance of his duties as Supervisor.

A bail introduced by McConnell, authorizing the Mayor and Common Council of the city of Los Angeles to issue bonds for the purpose of providing funds for the erection of public houses. Referred to the delegation. Swan, from the Committee on Federal Relations, reported against Mr. Young's concurrent resolution relative to an amendment to the constitution prohibiting any State from approving money raised by taxation for educational purposes to support setarian schools, Swan, McConnell, Archer, Hayne, Jenkins, and Crutch, signing the majority report. McKenna dissented from the majority, and recommended the passage of the resolution. Satterwhite's bill fixing the terms of the District Court in San Bernardino county was passed. SAN FRANCISCO, March 15. Flood & O'Brien have sold to the Government $20,000,000 of bullion, to be delivered at the rate of about a million and a half a month. The Government returns the gold taken from the bullion, and for the silver it pays in £4 and 5 per cent bonds. The market price in London minus cost of transportation will be paid for the silver. A.A.Cohen in an interview has denied into all the charges made by Central Pacific Railroad against him. He also said that he is not in eahoot with Tom Scott or any other man, but he is running the Archer bill on his own hook. The stockholders of the Commercial Bank held a meeting last evening. The purported to die discussion was to effect that failure of the bank was caused in a great measure by the neglect of E.J.Baldwin to pay up his subscription of 500 shares.

have sold totheGovernment$20,000,000of bullion,tobe Nor is the requiring of two such opposite duties from the same officers the most objectional feature of the bill. This law opens a bonanza for fraud and corruption to any Supervisor who is willing to develop it. Each Supervisor district is a small principality in itself, with hundreds of miles of road in it. The bill provides that the Supervisor shall receive the same pay for services as Road Commissioner, that is now paid him for the performance of his duties as Supervisor. The pay of a Supervisor is $5 per day and 20 cents mileage one way. Every time the Commissioner visits any part of his district to superintend work, he can collect mileage. As there is no limit fixed to the amount of travelling he is to do, he can put in all his time traveling, if he chooses to, and collect mileage for it. It is the duty of the Board of Supervisors to pass upon all bills and accounts for road work, bridge building, etc. In the discharge of their duties as Supervisors, they must pass on their own bills presented for services rendered while acting as Road Commissioners. It is more than likely that all of their bills will be allowed. A Supervisor will hardly dare question the bills of another if he wants his own allowed. Boss Tweed himself could not have drafted a better law for plekings and stealing. There is, perhaps, no one in our present Board of Supervisors, who would take advantage of this crude, if not dishonest, legislation to enrich himself, but we have had, and may have again, men in the Board who would have developed such a lead to its fullest extent. Another section of this law provides that every male between the ages of 21 and 50 shall pay a road poll tax of $2. The Road Overseer is to collect this, and pay it over to the County Treasurer. For collecting this tax, he is to receive 15 per cent., or 30 cents of the two dollars. Under the old law, the persons subject to this tax could work it out on the roads; under the new law they are compelled to pay it in money. This is unjust; many of our farmers who live on county roads can put in their tax in work much better than they can pay it in money, and as they are especially interested in keeping the highways in good repair, the work they would do would be better done than under the contract system that will prevail now. The man who drafted this law might type, and with proper medical skill it is hoped that he may be fully restored to reason. Our exports for the present week have consisted of 1,331 sks corn, 192-50 lbs; 50 sks spuds, 5,263 lbs; 140 sks barley, 13,444 lbs; 36 sks beans, 4,394 lbs; merchandise, 535 lbs. Total, 185-,886 lbs. It is reported that the Southern Pacific pay train will start on its pleasant mission on or about the 15th instant, and pay employees two months wages. A spelling match took place last Thursday night, at the Gallatin school house. It will happen every two weeks. We suggest Ekatarniburg, Michilimackinac, Machynlleth. The numerous friends of Mr. Perkins the enterprising tobacco grower, will be glad to know that he is still improving, and we hope to see him about in a few days. It is estimated that California produced in the past season, 20,000 boxes of raisins. The United States import about 900,000 boxes annually, so it will be seen that there is no likelihood of overdoing the business. California ought to produce all the raisins consumed in the United States. Mr. Benjamin Ginning some time since presented the poor of the city of Liverpool with $200, upon which a wag wrote, "A good B. Ginning." The Baltimore man's flying machine is not an overwhelming success; Virginia has refused to take part in the Centennial; Keely's motor is as quiet as the grave; but a German chemist has obtained ferryocyanide of tethrathy lemomium by saturating feryrocyanic acid with tetramylenium hydrate—and that is some consolation anyhow. A profane young man describing the looks of a newly-arrived M.C.from the Far West, as he appeared at Washington depot, says: "He looked as if he had come all the way across the continent on the hurricane deck of a mule." A Memphis prisoner, who hated to see two lawyers disgrace the courtroom by fighting, walked out, and was unfortunate enough to get lost. He has not been heard of since. In speaking of a clerical friend who possesses a very rubicund countenance, some one said, the other day: "I don't think he drinks; in fact, I know he does not, for he has told me so; but he probably sleeps in a bed with very red curtains."

CHICAGO, Mar. 15. The Tribune's Washington special says that the Massachusetts people are terribly exercised over the failure to confirm the President's nomination of Richard Henry Dana as Minister to Great Britian. Some years ago Dana was employed to edit the International Law which for some years had been edited by Gov. William Beach Lawrence, of Rhode Island, and when the work appeared, it contained some of Lawrence's notes verbatim. Lawrence commenced suit for piracy of copyright in the United States Court, and obtained a verdict in his favor. He now comes here and has obtained a pledge from every Democratic Senator not to vote in favor of Dana's confirmation. MARKET REPORT. SAN FRANCISCO, March 16.

The following is stated as the contract between Flood & O'Brien, of the Consolidated Virginia and California Mining Companies. They propose to sell twenty million dollars worth of silver bars to be supplied at the Carson Mint, and to take in payment the amount of gold contained therein and five or four and a half per cent. bonds at market rates. Deliveries to be commenced immediately and to be completed by the 4th of July. The suit brought by Cohen and Lake attorneys for Robinson, against the Central Pacific and the Contract and Finance Companies, excites much comment. Opinion is freely express- MISCELLANY. A young man in the East, whose particular about his washing, the other day wrote a note to his washerwoman and one to his girl, and by a strange fatality put the wrong address on each envelope, and sent them off. The washerwoman was well pleased at an invitation to take a ride the next day, but when the young lady read: "If you muss up my shirt bosom, and rub the buttons off the collar, as you did the last time, I will go somewhere else," she cried all the evening, and declares that she will never speak to him again. A very distinguished lawyer of Richmond, who has passed the meridian of life and has won renown as an orator and a jurist, was addressing a court recently, and was in the midst of a brilliant argument when he saw his wife—the idol of his heart—enter the room. He at once became confused and concluded with some abruptness. It was the first time that his wife had heard him speak. Fearful that he would not make a decidedly favorable impression upon her, he who had triumphantly faced Judges, juries, legislative assemblages, mass meetings, political conventions and the best of the literati, succumbed,and before one who in her love for him would have seen only the gems in his speech, and whose criticism would have boen the fullest praise.—Petersburg, Va., Inter. A popular hash artist on Clay street has betheought himself of a novel and ingenious method of advertising and attracting attention to his house. He has a coin, ranging in value from a cent to a gold dollar, put in one dish of each square meal that he serves up; neatly insituated into the interior of a "porterhouse steak cooked to order-15 cents," or entombed in a tumulus of corned-beef hash, or concealed within the recesses of a fish ball. This infuses with the meal an element of romance, uncertainty, and possible gain, that is peculiarly grateful to the customer. One epilure, who is unusually lucky, drew on Friday last $3—one at breakfast, in some fried liver; another at dinner, in some corned beef and cabbage; and a third at tea, in a plate of cold tripe. Justin McCarty says in English publile life a man fifty years old is considered a mere political stripling.

The President has signed the bill to provide for the purchase of material and for the continuation of work on the buildings for the Custom House and Postoffice at St. Louis; also, the act authorizing the purchase of additional grounds for the erection of a Custom House at Nashville. Previous to taking final action on the nomination of Richard Dana Jr., to be Minister to England, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee will hear him in reply to the charges made against him by Gen. Butler, of literary piracy, etc. Next Tuesday has been assigned for the purpose, and Dana has information from one of its members to authorize a denial of the report that the Committee had requested the President to withdraw his nomination. RICHMOND, Va., Mar. 15. In the House to-day competing reports in relation to the Texas Pacific railroad, one favoring the adoption of the Senate resolution against the scheme, and the other deferring action on the subject, came up and resulted in the rejection of the Senate resolutions known as the Daniel resolutions. The other report was tabled. Not a safe investment—The money spent by cracksmen purchasing tools to open a fire-proof. Oh, law! Mark Twain is among the persons who are to lecture before the Yale Law School the present term. Beecher likens himself to St. Paul, and jealous Minneapolis is mad about it. It is said that the Temple of Solomon never had a mortgage upon it. A child who has been educated on the moral-persuasion plan, refused to get out of bed and be washed one cold morning. Her nunt argued the matter with her, but she finally succumbed, when the infant logician said: "Aunt Mary, you do as you like and let me do as I like. You like to be clean and gold; I like to be warm and dirty." It is a pitiable sight to see a woman, who but one short year ago possessed an angel's sweetness of disposition and a child's artlessness of character, watching at the head of the stairs at 2 o'clock in the morning, with a towel roller in her hand. A curious fact in the history of the New York Gas-light Company is that the fire in the retorts has never been extinguished since it was lighted, some fifty-one years ago. When the works were moved up town, some years ago, a portion of the fire was carefully removed to the new location.
