Anaheim Gazette SATURDAY. APRIL 15, 1876. VINDICATOR, in a communication published on the first page of to-day's Gazette, pays some left-handed compliments to our ex-Representatives, and metaphorically kicks with the heavy boot of sarcasm those few, to whose efforts we are indebted for the defeat of the incorporation bill. The communication is a very interesting one, and the reader will no doubt find in it some information of which he has been hitherto ignorant. Our town incorporators being avenged upon the city charterists, and the city charterists having successfully spoiled the town incorporation scheme, a little common sense and unity would now be very acceptable, and we venture to say, profitable. Hand accumulates day by day in our streets, and, of a truth, there is no greater drawback to our town. Cannot our property owners and business men, on Centre and Los Angeles streets, at least, come to some understanding to remedy the evil? Let them set the ball rolling, and we predict hearty cooperation on the part of the rank and file. Let them never forget the truth of the saying, "A house divided against itself cannot stand." Dr. J. G. HOLLAND, editor of Scribner's Magazine, says: We are not alarmed or discouraged by the exposures of rascality in high places and low, which greet our eyes in almost every morning's newspaper. These exposures are the natural product of healthy reaction, the preliminary steps toward the national cure. So long as fraud, peculation and defection exist, POLITICAL CORRUPTION. If there ever was a crisis in the affairs of any nation, demanding from the people coolness and unswerving and unalterable integrity, such a one is now upon the people of the United States. It is a fact that the Union which battled so gloriously one hundred years ago for liberty—that the nation which displayed in its heroic struggle for independence a patriotism and purity of principle rarely equalled and never excelled—has sunk into an abyss of moral degradation revolting to contemplate. It is usual for politicians to pander to the people by assuming that the voters are pure, and that corruption only exists in high places. We assert that, with an incorruptible body of voters, corrupt office-holders are almost impossible. We say the bribed are as bad as the briber. The greed for gain has grown so inordinate that everything honorable is lost sight of in the frantic struggle to put some favorite into office; not because such favorite is the right man in the right place, but because he is the means to an end whereby the nefarious projects of his supporters may be carried out. Bluntly speaking, then, because he has his price. And so it has come to pass that from the petty city and county officer up to the President, every man has his price—every man is selected or appointed for some specific object—and that object personal gain at the expense of the nation. Should any of our readers doubt our statement or think we are too severe, let them examine the reports of our committees at Washington and judge for themselves. And let them also observe that Republican and Democrat vie with each other in deeds of infamy, and that neither party possesses a monopoly in this degrading business. THE TITLE As all inform culture is sought ity, we take place our readers this founded on ex-known gentleman gard to the best and other trees which the plant Dr. Wm. N. B Chas. A. Gard Helena Star said: "I have some trees, (orange), transplant this commence before ground here early in the Spring April and May planting the o Mr. Heimann gentleman, say: "Most of these May, June and seem to do best Though they much if taken recover a groat ground is well takes a little ning." Concerning itself, Mr. Heimann: "In planting would warn you too deep. Be trunk of the tree was originally the growth at ant to look out them in the gut Concerning budded and Heimann also: "As to those lemon trees, it is only an old been practiced Our oldest or orchard men anything of the Wilson, nor Bthe most pro raise the buds." Dr. J. G. Holland, editor of Scribner's Magazine, says: We are not alarmed or discouraged by the exposures of rascality in high places and low, which greet our eyes in almost every morning's newspaper. These exposures are the natural product of healthy reaction, the preliminary steps toward the national cure. So long as fraud, speculation and defection exist, the faster these exposures come the better. Every exposure is a preacher of righteousness, an evangel of reform. The more dangerous all rascality and infidelity to trust can be made to appear, the better for society. In any cutaneous disease the more we see of it the better. It is before it appears, or when it is sunk from the surface, that it is most dangerous to the sources of life and springs of cure. A rather startling communication, signed Beatrice, appears in one of the New York journals. The writer not only declares that a woman can keep a secret better than a man, but that "there are women in Washington at this moment who know enough of hidden evil to convulse the country, who can convince any man that they are more occupied with a pretty glove than with the discussions which rage around them." "For years," says Beatrice, "we who have known Washington have been aware that investigation has been foiled time and again by the tact, audacity and genius of women! The wives of Cabinet ministers, whose names are in the public mouth, are not the only ones who have been playing the high stakes. They have had their assistants and limitators." We believe General Sheridan to be a staunch upholder of the doctrine that the only good kind of Indian is dead Indian. We also believe that the people of the United States are opposed to the extermination of the Indians for the sake of benefiting a few unscrupulous land grabbers by the acquisition of their reservations. Yet it is deliberately proposed to transfer the Indian Bureau to the War Department. The army can only regard Indians as enemies, and as enemies to be destroyed as soon as possible in order to secure for our soldiers peace and quiet. We would suggest that instead of transferring the Indian from the swindler to the butcher, the National Government should try for once a little man has his price—every man is selected or appointed for some specific object—and that object personal gain at the expense of the nation. Should any of our readers doubt our statement or think we are too severe, let them examine the reports of our committees at Washington and judge for themselves. And let them also observe that Republican and Democrat vie with each other in deeds of infamy, and that neither party possess a monopoly in this degrading business. Voters are bought and sold like sheep. Office-holders in high places barter the choice gifts entrusted to them by the nation to citizens as corrupt as themselves. From the policeman who buys his appointment—from a ward politician to the Cabinet Minister or foreign embassador, all are alike; and the President smilingly endorses the villainy by shielding the guilty when, through a quarrel among the rogues, a peep is had at the inside of the magic circle. Nothing but the immense natural resources of the land could have kept the nation from bankruptcy long ago; and it is because national bankruptcy stares us in the face; because in this Centennial year we stand before the world disgraced; because something must be done and done speedily, that we undertake the loathsome task of puncturing the ulcer of political corruption. We are on the eve of a Presidential campaign, and the selection of delegates to the various conventions is to be entered upon in a few days. The action of the delegates chosen will decide the nomination for President, and the choice for President will decide the fate of the Nation. Let the American people remember that they are responsible not only for good government at home, but for the fate of freedom and Republicanism the world over. Let them remember that the eyes of millions yet held in thraldom, are earnestly straining to catch some ray of hope. Let them remember the high and holy trust reposed in them, and do their duty—fearing not and doubting not. There are yet honest, patriotic men in the country. Let them be sought out, not from among politicians, but like Cincinnatus of old from among the ranks of private citizens. Let them be placed in power with a clear understanding of their responsibility, and all will be well. Should the present ruinous course be continued, another decade will find our proud Republic ground into the dust, morally and financially bankrupt, torn into numberless fragments, a mark for derision, an objec of scorn. This and all this will be the man has his price—every man is selected or appointed for some specific object—and that object personal gain at the expense of the nation. Should any of our readers doubt our statement or think we are too severe, let them examine the reports of our committees at Washington and judge for themselves. And let them also observe that Republican and Democrat vie with each other in deeds of infamy, and that neither party possess a monopoly in this degrading business.

This and all this will be A strong agitation is going on with a view to settling the vexed question of Chinese immigration: Committees are being appointed, mass meetings held, ward leagues organized and a great deal of sense and nonsense written and spoken, with a view to convincing the National Government that the Heathen Chinee's continued pouring in upon us, means ruin. The object in view is a worthy one of vital importance. The action of the people of the Pacific coast is in the main commendable; but the means adopted are inevitably doomed to prove fatal, and the energy applied is entirely misdirected. Have the people of California so far forgotten themselves as to overlook King Stanford? They should remember, that without his consent nothing can be done. They should remember that his conscience is regulated by his Bank account, and lend their whole energy to endeavoring to convince him that he can make more money by the suppression of the coolie traffic than by its continuance. Never let our people forget that this is a Republic and that all legislation is by the will of the people, represented in this State by Citizen King Stanford. Frank Wilcox, of Enterprise, Butte county, found in some old tailings, the other day, a gold nugget worth $110. A horse owned by J. J. Dorsey & Co., of Grass Valley, fell into a well thirty feet deep, the other day, but was got out uninjured. A S. Rhodes (and John Day), who have been hunting on Kern island for the past three months, have killed and shipped to San Francisco in that time 13,000 quail and 46,000 rabbits. It is a singular fact that, in the whole route of the Southern Pacific railway to the desert, though it crosses an altitude of four or five thousand feet, there is not a cut six feet deep, nor an embankment eight feet high. Conrad Hoffman, of Bay St. Louis, has the largest orange tree on the coast. It measures three feet in diameter, and the circle which compasses its boughs is sixty feet in diameter. The yield of the tree is said to be 3000 annually. A ploughing match took place at Solano last Wednesday, at which all of the leading plow manufacturers of the State contested for a reward of $1,000 which had been offered for a plow that would scour in 'the peculiar saline adobe land of the slope of the coast range. The award has not yet been made. An Indian witness in court at Sacramento, was asked his age, but could not tell, only knowing that he had been taught when a boy, by the Jesuit fathers of San Jose. As they have been dead nearly one hundred years, he must have been nearly if not quite a centennarian. THE TIME TO PLAN. As all information relating to fruit culture is sought after with great avidity, we take pleasure in laying before our readers this morning the opinion, founded on experience, of two well-known gentlemen of Anaheim, in regard to the best time to plant orange and other trees, and the manner in which the planting ought to be done. Dr. Wm. N. Hardin, in a letter to Chas. A. Gardner, editor of the St. Helena Star says: "I have some 4,000 of the above trees, (orange, lemon and lime) to transplant this spring, but will not commence before the 1st of May. The ground here is entirely too cold so early in the Spring. April and May is the best time for planting the orange, lemon and lime." Mr. Heimann, in a letter to the same gentleman, says: "Most of the planting here is done in May, June and July, and the trees seem to do better in warm weather. Though they apparently droop very much if taken up in hot weather, they recover a great deal faster if the ground is well warmed up. It only takes a little more water in the beginning." Concerning the setting of the tree itself, Mr. Heimann writes: "In planting the orange trees we would warn you against planting them too deep. Be careful not to bury the trunk of the tree any deeper than it was originally growing, as it will stunt the growth at once. It is very important to look out for this when you set them in the ground." Concerning the difference between budded and seedling trees, Mr. Heimann also writes: "As to those 'budded' orange and lemon trees, we would say to you that it is only an advertising dodge that has been practiced very extensively late Our oldest and most experienced orchard men, though, do not think anything of the budded trees. Neither Wilson, nor Rose, White or others of the most prominent orange growers, raise the budded trees. They say that BY TELEGRAPH. SAN FRANCISCO, April 10. The Centennial Committee have published an address to the people of the State, urging every city and village to immediately organize Centennial Committees of the best men and women to be found, to make a thorough canvass for cash subscriptions, which will be forwarded by Wells, Fargo & Co., free of charge. It also recommended that balls, parties, theatrical benefits and concerts be given in aid of the fund. All communications should be sent to the following named persons, who have been appointed as a sub-committee for the State at large: J. A. Johnson, A.W. Thompson and J. Earl, Room 14, Nevada Block, San Francisco. BOSTON, April 10. California wool dull. Sales are lower than at any time for years past. The transactions include 195,000 lb at 19@31 for Spring; 16@23 for Fall. Pulled wools are dull, and can only be forced off at low figures. Large sales of the week are 150,000 pounds at 25@47 cents for superfine and X, principally from 40@45for good lines of superfine; 38@40 for X; some 13,500 pounds combings have been sold at 48@53. BOSTON, April 9. The Herald's Washington says that the full inner history of the safe burglary is likely to come to light in the race between Whitely and his chief confederate to tell what they know of the affair, and thus secure immunity for their part of the crime. It is expected the President will go before the Committee early this week to deny ever sending an order directing the Attorney General to discontinue the suits in the safe burglary, notwithstanding that the order came through Babcock, purporting to be from the President. ROCK ISLAND, Ill., April 10. Friday afternoon, David J. Van Meter, city editor of the Rock Island Argus, had a fight in a saloon with John Stanback, about whom he had written an offensive article. Stanback was knocked down and cut by Van Meter in the temple with a pocket knife. He died last night from the effects of the stabbing. It was found that the blade of the knife had broken in the left temporal bone. Van Meter was ar- SAN FRANCISCO, April 11. PLOUG—Extra family in jobbing lots at $6@6 62%.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 10. The recent action of the Mayor in proposing to hold officers responsible for the Chinese gambling dens and houses of prostitution on their respective beats is already beginning to bear fruit. Such of the "tan" games as remain in operation are trebly guarded and but thinly attended. The inmates of houses of ill-fame are closely watched and are compelled to remain in doors. The impediments in the way of carrying on the nefarious business are of such a nature as to virtually suppress it. It is believed that if the regulations are enforced with proper vigor for a few months we will see a grand exodus of Chinese courtesans and a measurably complete eradication of the evil. The Chinese merchants have made up a subscription of $500 to the Centennial Fund, and accompany the donation with a letter which, in regard to its reference to the action of the Legislature in the matter, is open to the charge of unconsciously dealing in a strong vein of sarcasm. WASHINGTON, April 10. The Supreme Court decided to-day, in the case of the Leavenworth Lawrence and Galveston Railroad, to vacate the patents issued to the road for what are known as the Osage Cedar Lands. They must be cancelled. BERLIN, April 10. Arrangements are in progress looking to increase of the artillery in the German army, and a bill to that effect will be submitted at the next session of the Reichstag. CHICAGO, April 11. Concerning the difference between budded and seedling trees, Mr. Heimann also writes: "As to those 'budded' orange and lemon trees, we would say to you that it is only an advertising dodge that has been practiced very extensively late. Our oldest and most experienced orchard men, though, do not think anything of the budded trees. Neither Wilson, nor Rose, White or others of the most prominent orange growers, raise the budded trees. They say that the budded tree will probably produce a dozen or two oranges a year or two sooner than the seedling, but that the seedling will outgrow, outlive and out bear the budded tree by far, and make ninety-nine trees out of one hundred, just as good fruit. They say it will not pay, and even in the course of years injure the orchard for the above given reasons, and the experience we have had thus far confirms their theory." The Anti-Whisky Imbreglio. ORANGE, CAL., April 10th, 1876. EDS. GAZETTE.—The following remonstrance was submitted to me last Saturday by Mr. Anderson, Sr., Mrs. Beach and Miss Katie Harris, members of the committee signed to the printed communication of Sunday, April 9th: "We, the undersigned citizens of Orange and surrounding neighborhood, having learned with regret that you have established a saloon in our midst for the purpose of selling intoxicating liquors as a beverage; and, "WHEREAS, We feel that the morals of our community would be corrupted and our fair name tarnished, and that the influences growing out of the sale of liquors would be greatly injurious to us as a people, we therefore, respectfully and earnestly solicit you to abandon the said traffic, and to use your building for a more laudable purpose." There were a number of signatures to the above document, but as the Committee, who did me the honor of waiting upon me, would not leave their names, although I recognize the names of some of my best customers who formerly patronized me in Anaheim, on the petition, I will say nothing in regard to them. I received them as politely as I knew how, and invited them in; they accepted the invitation and seated themselves in the card room. I informed them that under the laws of this State and the United States I had as a perfect legal right to sell intoxicating liquors to the citizens of Orange in Orange, as I had to sell intoxicating drinks to them in Anaheim or Santa Ana, both of which I had done. I further told them that the difference in selling them liquors in Orange than in those places was this: that it stopped a continual drain of specie from this community which might as well circulate here. This view of the case seemed to strike the committee favorably, and they allowed if I would keep closed on Sunday that I would do no great harm after all. After coming to Rock Island, Ill., April 10. Friday afternoon, David J. Van Meter, city editor of the Rock Island Argus, had a fight in a saloon with John Stanback, about whom he had written an offensive article. Stanback was knocked down and cut by Van Meter in the temple with a pocket knife. He died last night from the effects of the stabbing. It was found that the blade of the knife had broken in the left temporal bone. Van Meter was arrested and locked up on a charge of murder. VICTORIA, B. C., April 8. The announcement that Beaver Rock would be blasted at 4 o'clock caused crowds of people to gather in every available spot to witness it. Promptly at the time the man in charge applied his battery, which was instantly followed by a dull, heavy report and a large body of water thrown forty or fifty feet in the air. The blast is said to be a perfect success and that where there was formerly twelve feet of water at high tide, there will now be thirty. WASHINGTON, April 8. Blaine's forces are beyond doubt best organized, and are most confident that to-day he would lead all others, and his position promises to improve materially before the Convention meets. His record is generally acceptable to Republicans, and is not offensive to the Independents. Shrewd men, criticising the situation, say that while Conkling cannot carry New York, if nominated, and Morton would be weak in New England, because of his financial uncertainty, Blaine's hard money utterances leave the Democrat's ground to make points against Blaine, when asked by Jerry Black, denied that he feared Morton, Conkling or Bristow, in the Cincinnati Convention. "Are you afraid of anybody?" said Black. "Yes," replied Blaine. "Well, who is it? To which Blaine responded, 'The great, great Unknown.'" NEW YORK, April 9. The Sun's Providence, R. I. special gives what it calls startling disclosures of corruption and bribery in the late election in Rhode Island, and intimates that Senator Anthony and his friends bought votes at ten dollars a head to secure the Senatorship. It also intimates that a candidate for Governor was nominated who could not be elected, expressly to make the contest in the Legislature. The Times' Washington special says that the manner of conducting the thirty-six or forty investigations in progress by the House is disgraceful beyond comparison. The Republicans are equally to blame because they don't look after things, but leave the Democrats to run things in their own way and at their own whimsical pleasure. The Republican members of these Committees don't know what testimony has been taken, and are compelled to inquire. The witnesses tell their volunteer stories to the Democratic members. If the testimony reveals Demo- WASHINGTON, April 12. The story accredited to the Indianapolis Sentinel, of yesterday, has been in circulation for some time past in private political circles. Blaine was made acquainted with it and promptly denied it, stating it was entirely a sensational, unfounded story. SAN FRANCISCO, April 13. FLOUR—Extra Jobbing at $90 (6 62).

This view of the case seemed to strike the committee favorably, and they allowed if I would keep closed on Sunday that I would do no great harm after all. After coming to this amicable understanding, I offered to "treat," a proposition which was favourable received, and we drank a bottle of soda water apiece, and the committee adjourned with a request that I would give them a written answer to their remonstrance. The above is all the answer I have to offer, as I was not aware, by any act of the people of Orange, that they were opposed to anything of the kind, as the announcement was made through the Gazette over a week previous to the commencement of my building, that a saloon was to be started here. I must confess great surprise at receiving this visit from the committee over a week after my building was completed and my stock of goods received. I am, with great respect to the committee and the people they represent, Respectfully yours, FRED. SHAFER. The Orange Whisky Mill. A GAZETTE reporter picked up a paper on the street yesterday which contained the following: Waxzaa. We, the citizens of Anaheim, hearing that one Fred Shafer has opened a liquor mason in Orange; and Waxzaa. It has been the custom from time immemorial for the citizens of Orange to buy their whisky [Heaven save the mark] from the merchants and saloon-keeper of Anaheim; and Waxzaa. Such trade is both profitable to Anaheim and the undertakers; and Waxzaa.

An animated discussion occurred on the question of calling the primary elections. A substitute was offered that the Committee of Twenty-five, consisting of Republicans and Independents, select seventy-five delegates to the State Convention was lost, and the motion to call the primaries for the 20th of April prevailed.

The British steamer Lotos, which left yesterday for China, carried away $600,000 in treasure, principally silver, which accounts in part for the recent rise in its value. At the meeting of the anti-Chinese Committee of the Board of Supervisors, held Tuesday evening, it was decided to send three instead of five Commissioners to Washington. Advices from various portions of the State indicate a lively interest in the anti-Chinese movement. LONDON, April 12. The Times, in its financial article says that the foreign stock market has become almost utterly demoralized. It looks as if it may become unprofitable to deal in Turkish, Egyptian Persian, Mexican and such like stocks. The stock exchange is again in a state of collapse. The continental bourses are also uneasy. Heavy selling orders have been received from Paris, but it is almost impossible to make sales. The bourses of Paris, Berlin, and Vienna have been very flat lately and the decline in piles is severe. CONDENSED TELEGRAMS. The citizen's anti-Chinese committee of 12 met on Wednesday evening in San Francisco in the Mayor's office to discuss the matter of sending a delegation to Washington. It was decided that but three instead of five should be sent. San Francisco speculators have been buying silver coin of late, and the result is that the price has gone up to four per cent. discount. Trade dollars have sympathized slightly and 92% is offered for them, but no sellers of large amounts are in the markets. At a meeting of produce and fruit commission merchants in San Francisco it was resolved to do business on a silver basis. Before the Senate Committee on Chinese in San Francisco, Rev. O. Gibson was first examined. He testified that he was for ten years a missionary of the Methodist Episcopal Church in China. The emigration of Chinese is principally from Hong Kong.

Before the Senate Committee on Chinese in San Francisco, Rev. O. Gibson was first examined. He testified that he was for ten years a missionary of the Methodist Episcopal Church in China. The emigration of Chinese is principally from Hong Kong. The emigration is conducted, he thought, on the same principle as in Germany and other principle European countries. The Chinese companies, as far as he knew, have no criminal power, and were it not for the contract with the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, would have no power over the mass of Chinese in San Francisco without the consent of six companies or the sanction of Cox or some missionary, in the case of converted Chinese. No Chinamen can return in the Pacific Mail company's vessels. Many of the Chinese who come here have no knowledge of the existence of these companies, or honggs, until they arrive. At the wharf they are met by the agents of the companies, and asked what portion of China they come from, and the answer determines the company to which they will be assigned. An anti-Chinese association has been organized in the 1st ward of Oakland. A similar organization will be formed in the 2d ward. The various railroad companies have decided not to receive trade dollars hereafter for more than 90 cents either for freight or passage. A squad of officers made a raid on some Chinese fishermen in San Francisco who were arranging their nets in the water near Harter's Point in violation of the new law. Twenty-two arrests were made. A special from Nashville states that when Jas. G. Blaine was Professor in the Military Institute in Georgetown, Kentucky, he seduced a young lady belonging to a Female Seminary. A brother of the young lady set upon Blaine at the muzzle of a pistol and made him promise to marry her, which he did soon after. His conduct in this affair is represented as cowardly and disgraceful. The cause of Dana's rejection was not the charge of literary piracy or resentment of his Boutwell letter.
