Don Louis Martinez has discovered a rich bed of mineral, supposed to be silver ore. Mr. Morton, editor of the new Santa Ana paper, made us a call yesterday. He has already a formidable list of subscribers. The main pipe, which supplied water to Mr. Kroeger's building, on Centre street, burst yesterday. The Town Trustees met yesterday and sat as a Board of Equalization. No other business was transacted. Mr.G.D.Plato returned from San Francisco last night. He has purchased a large stock of new goods which will soon be opened out. The following freight was shipped from the depot this morning: One car brea, 11 bbls tallow, 4 sheep, 8 beer kegs, 6 boxes trees, 86 sacks corn, 13 boxes trees, 5 barrels, 1 keg, 1 bdle pelts, 5 hides, 1 lot well tools. Nothing transpired in the Justice's Court yesterday. The Deputy Sheriff took advantage of the leisure hours to collect bills. He returned with one dollar as the result of his By request of the Los Angeles City Council, the Sisters of Charity have assumed charge of the pest house. Mr.John Wagner captured a coyote in a trap and brought him to town yesterday. If there is an animal that the sheep raiser is particularly fond of it is a coyote. Two Mexicans were arrested yesterday on a charge of having stolen harness from Mr.M.C.Bailey's house on Friday night. No evidence being found against them, they were discharged. Horse-thieves were at work again on Friday night. Two horses were stolen from Mr.Siddon, two from Mr.Medlin and a saddle and set of harness from Mr.M.C.Bailey. At a special meeting of the Board of Supervisors, held yesterday, bids for building the Los Angeles river bridge were opened, and the contract was awarded to T.W.Ferguson for $5,144 80. Surveyor Hansen gave all a chance yesterday to judge of the correctness of the street lines established. The corners are plainly marked, and the most ignorant can easily find, by the use of a rule, the correct location for buildings and sidewalks. To-night will be the commencement of the Chinese new year. The managers of the various wash-houses were busy yesterday paying and collecting debts. It is a custom rigorously adhered to by them to square all their accounts for a fresh start on the New Year. L'Union, in commenting upon our statement that Mr.Reiser had gathered 8,000 oranges from one of his trees, says that "Mr.Moerenhaut, the French Consul, assures us that when he was a resident of Tahiti, he had in front of his house an orange tree which was one hundred years old, and bore from ten to twelve thousand oranges each year." Freight for the following persons was received at the depot last night: Ah Sam 6 pkgs mdse; D Griswold 16 sacks flour; D C Hayward, 1 box trees; T P Hinde, 1 sack alfalfa; L A Casey & Son, 2 pkgs mdse; Mr.Koenig, 1 box; Wong Yong, 1 mat seed; J H Fruit & Co, 60 joints well pipe; P Davis & Bros, 1 pkgs mdse; P, 1 crate crockery; L G, 2 bdls iron; F & J Backs, 7 pkgs mdse; J B 1 bale trees; H W Lake, 20 pkgs mdse; D M Harwood, 11 pkgs household goods. Mr.Spees found his horses at Hedebrink's place yesterday. It would be well to know that horses were tied securely before raising the alarm of horse thieves. At this season of the year horses become almost crazy for green feed, and will stray more than at any other time. If a horse is lost he can generally be found somewhere in the direction of the place at which he was raised, as horses in the spring generally start for their old feeding grounds when let loose.

Nothing transpired in the Justice's Court yesterday. The Deputy Sheriff took advantage of the laisure hours to collect bills. He returned with one dollar as the result of his labors. He remarked that he had very little standing out now. The Weekly Gazette, issued this morning, is for sale at A. G. Beebe's Stationery Store, Woodruff's news depot and Cohen's Stationery and cigar store. The Gazette is put up in stamped wrappers, ready for mailing; three for twenty-five cents. A party of men are making excavations in Trabuco Canon in search of treasure: It is reported that many years ago a large sum of money was buried near that place by the Spanish padros. As yet their search has been unsuccessful. Capt. Geo. C. Knox had his hand badly bruised yesterday. He was engaged in regulating some part of the machinery of his new printing press when his hand was caught by a spring. No bones were broken but it will require some time for the wounds to heal. A Downey correspondent of the Herald say: that farmers of that section are dissatisfied with their experience in castor bean culture, and that no one will attempt to raise any this year. The same correspondent says that some parties have rented land for the purpose of raising poppies. Horse thieves are on the rampage. On Thursday evening the horse of C. M. Woodruff was taken from in front of his News Depot, on Centre St. He offers a reward for him. On the same night three horses were stolen from Mr. Hinde, of the brewery, and two from Spees, the blacksmith. And in Santa Ana on the same night, Hickey, the stable man, had three of his horses stolen. There are several townships yet to hear from. Mr. Spees found his horses at Hedebrink's place, yesterday. It would be well to know that horses were tied securely before raising the alarm of horse thieves. At this season of the year horses become almost crazy for green feed, and will stray more than at any other time. If a horse is lost he can generally be found somewhere in the direction of the place at which he was raised, as horses in the spring generally start for their old feeding grounds when let loose. We have known of horses coming one and two hundred miles to the ranch on which they were raised. The following items are from the Los-Nietos Valley Courier:—The Daily Anaheim Gazette comes to us a pleasant and welcome visitor. It is a paper the people of Anaheim should appreciate and liberally patronize....The railroad company have had a force of men at work this week extending and strengthening the bridge over New River. The piles are now driven and the carpenters are putting on caps and stringers.

It was largely attended, and judging from the noise when we passed, there was a general good time. —We were witness last evening to the beautiful and imposing ceremonies which, from time immemorial, have taken place at the inauguration of a canine apprehender. A crowd of other matter compels us to defer a detailed description until to-morrow. —The new paper—the Weekly Review, which was to have made its first appearance on Saturday, was not issued until Sunday, the inevitable hurry and worry connected with all new enterprises having caused the delay.

He told us he had credited every farmer in that section for the past year, and did not think he had lost a single dollar. There is neither hotel or restaurant in Santa Ana, and whoever visits that town must carry his provender or "go hungry." J. M. Taylor is about to start a chop house and will no doubt be able to supply the traveling community with the necessaries of life, but it seems to us that there is room for a good hotel. A new furniture establishment is just opening out its goods, and we should judge from appearances that it will be a success. Mr. James D. Otz had his horse stolen (as he supposed) on Sunday evening. He found him yesterday in the possession of a Methodist minister. James made the remark, "I pass, pard." We do not know what he meant. The material for the new newspaper will arrive to-day. The proprietors are sanguine of success. BY TELEGRAPH. Belknap's Case Dismissed—Breach of Promise Suit. WASHINGTON, Feb. 8. Prominent Democrats say the Commission has adopted a line of procedure that must throw out the vote of Watts, of Oregon. The postmaster case of the United States against General Belknap, was to-day dismissed on motion of the District Attorney General, for the reason that the evidence would not sustain the prosecution. The published statement that Mrs. Mary S Oliver, a widow employed in the Treasury Department, has entered a $50,000 breach of promise suit against Simon Cameron, is disbelieved by Mr. Cameron's friends, he being 78, and she 35 or 40. A later dispatch says: Mrs. Oliver, in her complaint against Simon Cameron, states that the latter solicited her hand on December 5th. Cameron's friends say the suit is brought for the purpose of levying blackmail. Ingalls' Opinion of Sargent. WASHINGTON, Feb. 8. In the Senate to-day, during a debate upon an unimportant amendment relating to the Osage Indians, Ingalls spoke of them as being capable of self-government, and an intelligent body. Ingant denied that these Indians were civilized, and said it was all nonsense to talk about them being capable of self-government. Ingalls said: Indians were as capable of representing a State upon this nation that Hayes was not elected President, and that the President of the Senate ought not to declare him elected. This would leave the title of the office open to be contested before the courts. The only trouble about that is that we have no Supreme Court. The fury of an honest and indignant popular opinion, however, rising [as it assuredly will], is like a whirlwind, and the storm may safely be trusted to drive the present nominal judges from their place upon the Bench, substituting a Juilliard for that political body. The World's New Orleans special says the people here believe the Democratic members of the Commission should refuse to serve longer, if the rule be adopted excluding the merits of the Louisiana case from consideration. Earl Russel Says That Turkey is a Barbarous Nation. LONDON, Feb. 12. Earl Russel has given notice to the House of Lords that he will move that England shall cease all diplomatic intercourse with Turkey on the ground that that nation is still barbarous and unworthy of rank among the enlightened people of Europe. Powder Explosion. LONDON, Feb. 12. A dispatch to the Times from Calcutta reports that a gunpowder explosion occurred at Adhemahad by which fifty persons were killed and one hundred wounded. A Batch of European News. BERLIN, Feb. 12. Prince Bismarck gave a grand parliamentary dinner on Thursday. After the cloth was removed, he chatted on the Eastern question. In alluding to the Russia-Turkish quarrel, the Prince expressed the opinion that it was strongly probable that Russia would commence the struggle by a direct attack upon Turkey. The Government Press denies that Russia has requested the cooperation of Germany in an intervention in Turkish affairs. Bismarck is much irritated against certain Deputies who indiscretely disclosed his confidential after-dinner remarks. He contractions having said that Russia was demanding subsidies from the Powers in aid of warlike A crowd of other matter compels us to defer a detailed description until to-morrow. —The new paper—the Weekly Review,—which was to have made its first appearance on Saturday, was not issued until Sunday, the inevitable hurry and worry connected with all new enterprises having caused the delay. It is a very large, neat paper. —We were shown yesterday an elegant cabinet for the Orangethorpe school, made at the mill of A. Guy Smith & Co. It is an elegant piece of workmanship and is manufactured entirely from the wood of Oregon and California. —We visited the Dog-pound yesterday, and found that our efficient dog-catcher had made a collection of curs not to be surpassed by any city in the county. He can certainly boast of having as large a collection of mangy, hungry-looking dogs as can be scared up anywhere. —It is now proposed that the leaves of the encalyptus tree be used as a substitute for tobacco. It is said that they produce all the exhilarating and none of the narcotic influences of the weed. Every few weeks a new virtue is discovered to be possessed by this tree, but as a general thing the test of experiment demolishes the truth of the story. —We would announce to the public that we are prepared to do any and all kinds of printing, from new type, on new presses and on new paper. Those favoring us with their orders can rely upon being satisfied with the quality of the work as well as with the price charged. We pride ourselves upon the skill displayed on all printing done in this office, and our rates are necessarily as cheap as at any office in the county. —Mr. Juren Dilatores intended giving it acrobatic performance Sunday evening, but being dilatory in paying his license the Marshal locked him up in jail. He appeared before Justice Bailey yesterday morning, and was informed that the town exchequer was in need of about fifteen dollars besides five dollars license, and learned also that in case he did not furnish the required sum he would have to work it out upon the streets. —The St. Helena Star hath these words:—The Anaheim Gazette, which was lifted higher than a kite—cremated, so to speak—by a two-story conflagration, on January 17, has phoe [beg pardon, another fellow got ahead of us on that word] has lit on its feet, in a bran new dress of store clothes, hair parted in the middle, smiling and happy as ever. A very healthy looking ghost... The Anaheim Gazette is urging upon its people the planting of some better varieties to replace the Mission vines which fill most of the vineyards there.

Cameron's friends say the suit is brought for the purpose of levying blackmail. Ingalls' Opinion of Sargent. WASHINGTON, Feb. 8. In the Senate to-day, during a debate upon an unimportant amendment relating to the Osage Indians, Ingalls spoke of them as being capable of self-government, and an intelligent body. Sargent denied that these Indians were civilized, and said it was all nonsense to talk about them being capable of self-government. Ingalls said Indians were as capable of representing a State upon this floor as the Senator from California. Sargent said he had not intended to use the remark he did as discoureous to the wards of the Senator from Kansas, but since that Senator had followed up the remark by one which was exceedingly discoureous, he disdained to make any reply. Ingalls said, "Very well, then, it then stands as it is; I am satisfied." What the President Said. NEW YORK, Feb. 9. The Herald's Washington special says a report from North Carolina of something the President is asserted to have said to Judge Settle, has attracted more attention here than it deserved. The report was the President told Settle that Tilden would undoubtedly be the next President by the action of the Electoral Commission. What he did say, was with the passage of the Electoral Bill, whether Hayes or Tilden became President, the country would in either case have peace. About That Bribe. NEW YORK, Feb. 9. The Herald's Cincinnati special says: Kenner, whom the Wells Louisiana Returning Board charges with having attempted to bribe them to cast the Electoral Vote of Louisiana for Tilden, passed through the city-to-day on his way from New Orleans for Washington. He says the reason Wells did not take the alleged $200,000 bribe was because it was not offered to him, and one of the reasons it was not offered was because the Democrats thought they had the State, sure, without Wells's aid. The Contested Controllership. SACRAMENTO, Feb. 10. In the Kenfield-Irwin case, involving the right to the office of State Controller, Judge Denson to-day sustained the demurrer of respondent.' The petitioner declined to amend his petition and took exception to the ruling of the Court. It is understood that Kenfield will take the case to the Supreme Court at once. The Electoral Commission. WASHINGTON, Feb. 9. The points of the decision reached by the Commission may be thus briefly stated: First—The Commission is exercising the powers of both Houses, under the law, and having examined all the certificates and papers referred to them, find they have no authority to hear evidence altitude, or in other words, to hear evidence outside of the certificates of the government of Florida, founded upon a determination of the Canvassing Board of the State for its vote. Second—The Commission could not consider evidence coming out of the Legislature or courts in determining whom the State had appointed electors after the day that said electors gave their vote in. Third—In regard to the alleged inelegibility of Humphreys, there is not sufficient evidence that he held office on Nov. 7th. Freight for the following persons was received at the depot last night: A J Stanley, 1 bbl trees; R G McGibbon, 7 pkgs fruit; J C Edwards, 6 pkgs mdse; A Spees, 3 sks coal; Alward Bros, 4 pkgs mdse; D C Hayward, 1 pkge trees; Webber. 1 pkge trees; Cobler and Morton, 27 pkgs printers material; J Benner-scheidt, 1 tank gasoline; C and W, 60 sks flour, 41 pkgs mdse; N Bundy, 8 pkgs mdse; H W Lake, 21 pkgs mdse. Look & Leonard, 1 bale paper; J C Steles, 1 chest; H Evaxs, 1 box clothing. Under the head of new advertisements will be found the card of Mr. McDermott. We wish to direct attention to the fact that not only does he do a blacksmithing business but he has on hand an assortment of new and second-hand carriages and buggies, any of which can be had at a decided bargain. In conversation yesterday, Mr. McDermott informed us that he had just received a large supply of all kinds of material used in the blacksmithing business—iron, coal, etc., and that he would hereafter make a specialty of supplying country shops at Los Angeles prices. This move is a shrewd one, and will doubtless be profitable to Mr. McDermott. And this leads us to remark that it would be a good thing all around if our merchants would make a specialty of selling to the various small stores throughout the country the stock they need. To judge from appearances; there is not a store in town but what carries a large enough stock to do a wholesale business, and we think it would pay to send drummers out throughout the country and let it be known that their wholesale rates are as reasonable as can be had in Los Angeles—which we suppose is a fact. A visit to Santa Ana yesterday assured us that business is in a flourishing condition at that place. Messrs. Humphreys & Lington were busily employed in making out deeds for land and leases for tenants. It is said that the San Josquin Rancho has been disposed of to a stock company, who will sell it to settlers. We found Mr. J. W. Lowe at powers of both Houses, under the law, and having examined all the certificates and papers referred to them, find they have no authority to hear evidence allude, or in other words, to linear evidence outside of the certificates of the government of Florida, founded upon a determination of the Canvassing Board of the State for its vote. Second—The Commission could not consider evidence coming out of the Legislature or courts in determining whom the State had appointed electors after the day that said electors gave their vote in. Third—In regard to the alleged ineligibility of Humphreys, there is not sufficient evidence that he held office on Nov. 7th. Joint Session. WASHINGTON, Feb. 10. At one o'clock the Senate took its seat in joint session with the House, and President Ferry took the chair. The decision of the Electoral Commission having been read, written objections were made by Representative Field, on the part of five Senators and twelve Representatives, and then the two houses separated. Sections of Railroad Finished. WASHINGTON, Feb. 12. The Interior Department has received the certificate of the completion of a fifty mile section of the Southern Pacific Railroad on Yuma Division, and two sections of twenty miles of the Tulare Division. The Commissioners report that the road will probably cross the Colorado river into Arizona about the middle of March. The New York Press on the Commission. NEW YORK, Feb. 12. The World thinks it undeniable that the events of the past week have jeopardized public confidence in the Supreme Court, which is a more serious calamity than putting at risk any claims of any possible Presidential candidate.
