Anaheim Gazette SATURDAY...APRIL 1, 1876. THE OLIVE We are informed that the variety of olive which we have in California is one of the most inferior of the many kinds. We think this probably the case, and the explanation why the crop of many of the trees does not pay for the gathering. The manufacture of the oil in Southern Europe is an important industry, and the raising of the fruit itself is said to be there highly remunerative. The number of gallons of the oil made in Italy is given as 33,000,000, and the number in France as 7,000,000. It is said that there are three grades: the first product, the almost spontaneous exudation from the fruit and used in Europe for medicinal purposes; and for oiling delicate machinery; the second, a somewhat less choice article, chiefly consumed in the countries of its production, while that last produced from the pulp, is styled by the French makers Château de Cofer, and is the olive oil of commerce. If this name, "oil of hell," be appropriate to the genuine though third-class product, much more is it so to the cotton seed oil, doctored and sold extensively as the oil of the olive. If it be true that the trees of the kind we have are inferior to other varieties, cuttings from Europe should be procured. It was very extensively raised in the old days of Greece, and the law forbade that any be imported from foreign countries, lest the home cultivation of them should be neglected. The estimation in which this tree was held is shown by the tradition among the Greeks that when Athens was founded, a contention arose between Neptune and Minerva on account of THE UNQUITIOUS JOHN. The San Francisco census gives the following as the number of Chinese doing business there a year ago. It is said that at the present time there are double as many: Cigar manufactures, 75; slippers, 22; tailoring and shirt making, 11; merchandise, 120; jewelers, 3; tinsmithing and plumbing, 5; boots and shoes, 10; employment offices, 10; physicians, 8; newspaper and job office, 1; theatres, 2; while restaurants, butcher shops, vegetable gardens and fisheries are numerous. During the last five years their immigration and emigration has been as follows: Arrival. Departed. Gain 1873 ... 17,978 6,831 11,097 1874 ... 17,002 7,613 9,289 1875 ... 18,260 6,594 11,772 Totals ... 53,316 21,038 22,258 These figures speak for themselves. It is a noticeable thing that opposition to the Chinese and apprehensions of evil results from them are strongest in the minds of those best acquainted with them, invariably increasing on the same ratio with their information upon the subject. The people of San Francisco seem now thoroughly awakened to the emergency, and fully in earnest in their determination to accomplish something in the direction of freeing themselves from the infliction which threatens so direly their moral and national welfare. This question involves none of the old exploded doctrines of know-nothing-ism, for the cases are in no way analogous. The healthy intlux of foreigners of kindred races are welcomed additions to our people. Its encouragement in a young and undeveloped country meets the approval of every statesmanlike mind. The students of Roman history will remember how powerful a factor in the degeneracy and convulsions of the empire, were the myriads of Asiatics who had mingled with the people.

It was very extensively raised in the old days of Greece, and the law forbade that any be imported from foreign countries, lost the home cultivation of them should be neglected. The estimation in which this tree was held is shown by the tradition among the Greeks that when Athens was founded, a contention arose between Neptune and Minerva on account of each claiming the privilege of being the patron deity of the new city. It was declared by Jupiter that the one who would produce the most useful thing should have the honor contended for. Then, says the legend, Minerva created the olive tree, and Neptune, the horse. The Gods, weighing the benefits to be derived from each, concluded that the olive was preferable, and so Minerva became the protecting goddess of the place, and it was called Athena, that being the Greek name of Minerva. The quantities of wool now being shipped in its raw shape from this section, and the disadvantages necessarily consequent upon its going a great distance away in that form and being manufactured and coming back at a heavy price as woolen goods, having passed through the hands of many men, every one of whom demands something out of it, to pay him for his trouble; and the un doubted fact that a quarter or a third of the weight of each bale that is shipped away is dirt, presenting the fare of men annually paying enormous freight on thousands of pounds of earth—all these facts prompt the question, Can we not have a woolen factory here at home and save the immense sums lost under the present policy? There is here in Anahitim every facility for the well-doing of such an enterprise—an abundance of water, plenty of competent labor, and neighborhood to a great wool-raising country, and a large local demand for much of the product and quick accessibility to outside markets for the surplus. Are not some men of energy and of means disposed to do themselves and the section a great benefit by such an establishment? An exchange recommends the abolition of various of the most expensive foreign Ministries, on the plea that the telegraph and steam communications between nations now so greatly facilitate intercourse, that business negotiations can be transacted without the intervention of resident representatives of the other powers, and that as a mat- The bill recently introduced into the Legislature providing that in cases where criminals plead insanity, it shall not receive attention unless unequivocally proven, is a well aimed and deserved shaft at a most pernicious custom; for the practice of alleging insanity after the commission of capital crime has become so habitual as to be properly called a custom. It would be well if all so cleared were obliged in consequence to enter a lunatic asylum for the cure of the alleged insanity or to prevent its doing further damage. It was not long ago that a Chinaman upon the commission of a murder, cried out to the officer who took him in custody "Me heap crazy—all same Melican man." Human life cannot be too carefully guarded by the laws. A man may have his property taken from him and gather more. His reputation may be lost to him by hostile misrepresentations, but, if he be worthy, he will regain it; but if any blood-thirsty ruffian puts a well aimed bullet through him, it is, to use the forcible language of slang, "Good-bye John." THE reports from Mexico as to its political disturbances, present a dark prospect for its future. It is sad to see so magnificently resourceful a country retarded in the march of advancement by civil dissensions and political instability. It makes an American grasping to think of it, and he feels like filibustering himself into possession of a liberal slice of the country, its present owners so fail to utilize. While, however, unimproved millions of acres of the present United States territory lie unproductive, they have no right to try to get the beam out of their brother's eye, since they have one in their own, and as a national policy, the acquisition of new territory with a turbulent population of millions of Spanish-Americans and Indians would be utterly undesirable at a time when the political authorities at Washington do not seem competent to rule the present comparatively unanimous people. An exchange recommends the abolition of various of the most expensive foreign Ministries, on the plea that the telegraph and steam communications between nations now so greatly facilitate intercourse, that business negotiations can be transacted without the intervention of resident representatives of the other powers, and that as a matter of fact, this is done so extensively as to leave the positions of Ministers as little more than a complimentary and costly sinecure. While so wealthy a country as the United States Government represents should abate none of its national dignity for the saving of even a large annual expenditure, it would seem that if the foreign appointments of the administration cannot be made more judiciously, the practice should be discontinued from very shame. Deriving their estimation of us from our representatives abroad, Europeans must deem us the most money-adoring, petty and unscrupulous people under the sun. The Havana tobacco reports say that the drought there has been so severe as to nearly ruin the crop. It will yield but few wrappers, and what there will be of fillers, will be heavy, gummy and unsuitable. On the whole, it is called the worst season in the memory of the oldest tobacco growers. Such being the case, it is probable that the California product will bring a somewhat better price this year. Even, however, if the foreign product were as abundant as ever, our farmers should never fear competition with them, when the California article can, by judicious treatment, be made so superior. It is hard to believe in the boast about modern gallantry when we hear every quill-driver in the land howling abuse and ridicule at Belknap's wife. She has had more than her share. She may have become less fashionable now than formerly; but if fashion lies in conformity with the customs and actions of those by whom one is surrounded, we think Mrs. Belknap more eminently entitled to be fashionable than ever before. It is not generally known that all the silver coin issued by the government prior to 1854 is legal tender to any amount. The silver dollar of any date (not trade dollar) is a legal tender to any amount. No foreign coins are legal tender. Treasury notes are good for all debts, public and private, save import duties and interest on public debt. Postage stamps are receivable for all dues to the United States in sums less than five dollars, but are not legal tender for private debts. An exchange calls attention to the fact that the addition of iron filings to the soil augments the brilliancy of hue of the flowers growing in the near neighborhood. Soon becoming dissolved, the flakes of iron will permeate the soil and show themselves in giving vivid tints to the flowers absorbing the lincture of it with their nutriments.

Carwill and Buntin, of this place, have lost four valuable horses within a short time. Eleven were taken from the drove, but all were recovered, except the saddle horses, which leaves us to infer that they were stolen. They were taken from the Santiago Caion. The people here regard Secretary Belknap as nearly as great a rascal as Buchanan's War Secretary, Floyd; the difference being in degree, not in kind, as Floyd stole millions, while Belknap was satisfied with a few paltry thousands. You see, he hadn't got stealing down to as fine a point as Floyd and Tweed and other prominent Democratic statesmen. County Surveyor Ellis was in town on Saturday, and reported everything lively in Los Angeles. The "Latter Day Saints" held forth last Sabbath at the Newport School House under the supervision of Bishop Moesser and Mills. The former has made some extensive building improvements on his farm in the "Swamp." Dr. Brooke, the County Physician, visited Santa Ana last week on professional business. Messrs. Castyle and Gould also gave us a pleasant call. The Master of the Anaheim Masonic Lodge, Mr. F. W. Athearn, and several of the members, visited the Santa Ana Lodge, U.

Don't we need some investigating committee in this Democratic county? Is there no way to rectify this transparent fraud before the money is paid? Would it not be well to look around and see if this is an isolated case? Whose duty is it to watch this part of the public crib? We wonder if the election expenses have been paid yet? Isn't it about time for a new deal? Isn't there a defect in the law somewhere that makes such frauds possible? Can't Gen. McConnell drop irrigation schemes awhile and inquire into this matter? Hey?

We were sorry to learn of the disgraceful proceedings of some of the hoodlums at the ball in Santa Ana. They even treated the proprietor of the hotel with disrespect, and shamefully egged guests from Tustin City, staining their clothes and blacking their eyes, and even their own citizens did not entirely escape from the mob. We are beginning to get tired of the phrase, "Here is your gooter helt, unt your family's put may day all leave long unt proper." The livery stable had every rig out on Sunday, and could have let several more teams. Mr. T. E. Luther bought ten acres, instead of one hundred, as stated last week. J. W.

An election will be held in Richland (this) school district to decide concerning the erection of a new school house, on April 22d. The amount to be raised is $700. The polls will be open from 1 to 6 p.m. A party of seven visiting Rip Van Winkle from this point, on Friday evening last, peacefully stopped in the raging river. Two of the party blushingly excavated their feet from their boots and anglings. mentsions should be behind Upper Santa Ana in the amount of money received; and he seems to think there is something wrong. We would advise him to examine Sen. 1868 of the California school law, which will satisfy him that the apportionment is made upon the number of children reported in the last census, and not on the average daily attendance. We think his arithmetics a little bad in censuring this little out-of-the-world district, as he calls it. We have been visited by quite a number of our old acquaintances from Sonoma and other northern counties, who, after seeing various parts of the county, have centered on Tustin as the garden spot of Southern California. Judge J. J. Johnson, formerly Justice of the Peace of San Joaquin township, contemplates moving from Santa Ana to our section shortly. Great improvement is being made in the way of new buildings, in this place, and large numbers of fruit trees are being set out. March 29th, 1876.

SACRAMENTO, March 27. The Senate met at 10 A.M., the Lieutenant Governor in the chair. Turner, a member of the Committee on Education, submitted a report in favor of the passage of the Carpenter Education bill. The O'Connor commissioner bill coming up in the Assembly messages, the Senate concurred in all the amendments made in the Assembly except the McKenna amendment, setting the rate to be charged at 85 per cent., which, as was predicted, was rejected by 18 ayes and 22 noes. The bill was then sent to the Assembly with a notification of the action of the Senate. If the Assembly do not recode from their amendment a committee of free conference will be appointed to adjust this intricate matter. The Assembly met at 10 A.M., the Speaker in the chair. The bill appropriating $419,000 to pay claims against the State incurred in building the Napa Insane Asylum, was passed by a vote of 37 ayes to 29 noes. A message from the Governor announced that he had approved the bill providing for the building of a main public sewer in the city of Los Angeles. Also the trespass law for San Diego county. McConnell, from the Los Angeles delegation, reported back the amended charter for the city of Los Angeles, recommending its passage. The bill stands in the same condition as it was when it left the Senate. The amendments made in the Senate were concurred in. Upon a motion of McConnell the rules were suspended and the bill read a third time and passed. Whether the bill will become a law is a question that now remains for the Governor to decide. The bill appropriating $200,000 for the construction of workshops and prison buildings at San Quentin was passed. Tuttle's bill, relating to insurance policies and the Senate bill appropriating $5000 to pay the traveling expenses of a delegation of citizens from San Francisco to Washington for the purpose of urging upon Congress the necessity of immediate action upon the matter of Chinese immigration, were passed. SAN FRANCISCO, March 28, the bill, as follows: "An act to squander the public monies of the State." The entire afternoon was passed in this unprofitable battle of the books. The general file, containing upwards of 200 bills, was untouched, and if not taken up before the end of the present week, the chances of many useful and worthy measures becoming laws are decreased beyond any hope of improvement. It is to be regretted that so much valuable time has been wasted in desultory and comparatively unimportant measures. The Assembly messenger on coming into the Assembly was notified that the Assembly had refused to recede from the five per cent. amendment to the O'Connor Commissioner bill, and that the Speaker had appointed Archer, McKenna and Serivener a committee of conference on the part of the Assembly. The President appointed Farley, Edgerton and Pleasant a committee on the part of the Senate. This is the last legislative action upon the Commissioner bill, except the adoption or rejection by each House of the report of the Conference Committees upon the amendment. The committee of the Assembly, McKenna, Archer and Serivener, were the warmest supporters of the Archer bill and of the obnoxious five per cent. clause. The result of the Conference is not even to be guessed at. The General Appropriation bill was then considered. Considerable reduction was made in the appropriation for the contingent expenses of State officers. They were cut down on an average of 35 per cent. An appropriation of $8,000 was made to pay for the present and future indebtedness for listing bonds from the United States to the State. Pierce's bill incorporating the city of San Diego was passed. McConnell introduced a bill to prescribe the fees of the District Attorney of Los Angeles county in case of conviction. The bill appropriating money for the benefit of the agricultural societies within the State is indefinitely postponed. Speaker Carpenter then took the floor, and gave notice that he would on to-morrow move a reconsideration of the vote by which the House on this day refused to recede from its amendment to the O'Connor bill. The intention of Mr. Carpenter is evidently to bridge the difficulty occasioned by the far between the Senate.

Tuttle's bill, relating to insurance policies and the Senate bill appropriating $5000 to pay the traveling expenses of a delegation of citizens from San Francisco to Washington for the purpose of urging upon Congress the necessity of immediate action upon the matter of Chinese immigration, were passed. SAN FRANCISCO, March 28, In furtherance of the present Ap-ti-Chinese movement, the Board of Supervisors this evening adopted a resolution requesting the legislative delegation to secure the passage of the Anti-Chinese bill now before the Legislature; also a resolution to the effect that no member of the Board nor other public official should employ any Chinese coolie in any capacity, or knowingly make use of any article or commodity of Chinese manufacture, or in any way encourage Chinese labor by assisting any Chinaman to obtain employment. The ordinance accepting the training ship Jamestown, and providing for her maintenance, was finally adopted. MIDDLETON, (N. Y.) March 27. Rysdick's famous stallion, Hambletonianded at Chester last night, aged about 28 years. He was the size of the most noted and valuable trotting stock in the country. VIENNA, Mar. 27. The Political Correspondence, newspaper reports that the Servian Minister of Foreign Affairs had just made the following official declaration to Prince Wrede, diplomatic agent of Austria at Belgrade: The Servian government has no intention whatever of attacking Turkey, or impeding the work of pacification undertaken by the Great Powers, a course which might subject Servia to collective proceedings on the part of the Great Powers. Servia's military preparations are merely due to the completion of her military organization. WASHINGTON, March 27. The Supreme Court to-pay decided that the Federal Election Law, under which certain white parties were indicted for interfering with the exercise of the suffrages of the colored voters, is unconstitutional and void. It is understood that the Court, in the Grant Parish case, will decide the Enforcement Act unconstitutional, thus affirming the opinion of Judge Bradley in the Court below. WASHINGTON, March 27. The Senate, in executive session today, considered the report of the Committee on Foreign Relations, adverse to the confirmation of Dana. No action was taken, but it is thought that the adverse agreement will be agreed to. SACRAMENTO, March 27. The Assembly met at ten o'clock, A.M. Carson presented a petition from San Francisco bearing 6,000 names and another from Alameda county. McConnell introduced a bill to prescribe the fees of the District Attorney of Los Angeles county in case of conviction. The bill appropriating money for the benefit of the agricultural societies within the State was indefinitely postponed. Speaker Carpenter then took the floor, and gave notice that he would on to-morrow move a reconsideration of the vote by which the House on this day refused to recede from its amendment to the O'Connell bill. The intention of Mr. Carpenter is evidently to bridge the difficulty occasioned by the far between the Senate and Assembly, and to obviate all action by the conference committees, which in any case is likely to have result of killing the bill. The vote by which the Assembly refused to recede from its amendment was so close that a single vote would have made a difference in favor of receding. Noble but most radical now speak of not receding. The vote to-morrow may show a result in favor of the bill. SACHAMENTO, Mar. 20. Senate—met at 10 A.M., Lieutenant Governor Johnson presiding. Shirley, from the State Prison Committee, reported back without recommendation, Gibbon's Assembly bill regarding the management of the State Prison and adversely against the bill for the completion of the branch prison at Polem. A report was presented from the Committee recommending a long list of persons for immediate pardon. Among these were: J. J. Marks, ex-Harbor Commissioner, and C. J. Kuchel, a youth completed in San Francisco, in September of last year, of embezzling money from Fox; the broker Communications were recommended for both of the Rothertons to seven years from the state of imprisonment; on condition that they leave the State upon the expiration of their term. Also to Jos Casey, poll-tax torger; to four years from the time of conviction. Upon the motion to adopt the report, O'Connor rejected to this wholesome system, an opinion in which he was joined by Timlin, McCarthy and Laine. On call of the roll the motion was adopted by 20 ayes to 7 nays. JACKSON, Miss., March 30. In consequence of a letter of resignation from Gov. Ames, which was read during the session of the House of Representatives, the House adopted a resolution by a vote of 78 ayes to 10 nays instructing the manager of the Ames impeachment case to discontinue the proceedings and withdraw the articles. Gov. Ames, in his letter says that he had resolved to resign last November when he found it impossible to carry out his plains for the welfare of the State; but that in face of articles of impeachment involving his personal integrity, he could not do so. He would now however, resign if the articles were dismissed. At the meeting of High Court of Impeachment, Mr. Featherstone presented the resolution to the House, and asked that the impeachment articles against Gov. Ames be dismissed, which was done WASHINGTON, March 27. The Senate, in executive session today, considered the report of the Committee on Foreign Relations, adverse to the confirmation of Dana.

Carson presented a petition from San Francisco bearing 6,000 names, and another from Alameda county with 1,200 names, protesting against the passage of Senator Gibbon's bill, now in the Assembly, prohibiting the teaching of foreign languages and music in the public schools. NEW YORK, March 27. G. S. Harris, of California, arrived at Baltimore a few days since with twelve Angora goats, which he brought from Asia Minor, after a difficult journey lasting a year. They have already cost him over $525 apiece. Harris hopes to make them profitable in the Sierras of California. This is the first importation of the kind. SACRAMENTO, Mar. 28. Senate met at 10 A.M., the Lieutenant Governor in the chair. The Centennial appropriation bill coming upon the file for final passage, after an extended debate, was passed on a call of the ayes and noes—ayes, 19, noes, 18. Laine gave notice of reconsideration. The bills concerning the text book question and those in reference to other educational matters were considered as the special order for the hour. Tuttle's bill prescribing the manner of furnishing text books for the public schools by having the State own the copyright of the text books to be used was first taken up. After a warm contest the bill was indefinitely postponed. Hopkin's bill, allowing county Boards of Examination and city Boards of Examination to furnish text books for their respective districts was then taken up, and on a call for the ayes and noes the bill was passed. Tinnen, a bitter opponent of the bill, offered an amendment to the title of the proceedings and withdraw the articles. Gov. Ames, in his letter says that he had resolved to resign last November when he found it impossible to carry out his plans for the welfare of the State; but that in the face of articles of impeachment, involving lilies personal integrity, he could not do so. He would now, however, resign if the articles were dismissed. At the meeting of the High Court of Impeachment, Mr. Featherstone presented the resolution to the House, and asked that the impeachment articles against Gov. Ames be dismissed, which was done. Mr. Durant, of Gov. Ames' counsel, then read us follows: EXECUTIVE OFFICE, JACKSON, March 29th, 1870: To the people of the State of Mississippi: I hereby resign my office of Governor of the State of Mississippi. (Signed) ADELBERT AMES. Col. J. Stone, President pro temp. of the Senate, was installed as Governor. The resignation of the Governor was a complete surprise to all except to the few who had agreed to this plan last night. The Republicans are indignant. SAN BUENAVENTURA, Mar. 29 The brig Crimes parted her moorings from the end of the wharf and went ashore about four o'clock this afternoon. The sea is now breaking over her and she will probably be a total loss. None of the crew are ashore yet. A heavy wind and high sea have been prevailing all day. MEMPHIS, Mar. 29. A warehouse with 6000 sacks of flour was swept away by the river banks casking in at New Madrid, in consequence of the floods. The town of Clarendon, on White River, is undated. OAKLAND, Mar. 29. This afternoon, while an express wagon, with a trail wagon attached, driven by R. A. Peckinpah, was coming from the wharf heavily laden with goods, it ran over and instantly killed Johnny Green, a boy aged five years and four months, who was riding on the tongue of the trail wagon. Deceased was the son of a laboring man in poor circumstances. The coroner will hold an inquiry to-morrow.
