L., in his communication which appeared in your columns on Friday, asks "Was he crazy?" Who is the individual referred to? Was who crazy? If this question was pro-pounded to me, concerning the writer of the article, the veritable I. X. L., I should most unhesitatingly answer that he was. For no same man would give publicity to a statement as a fact, when so palpably absurd as that contained in I. X. L.'s letter. You never saw a drunken person who did not think everybody else was drunk, and he alone sober. And there is no one so sane, in his own estimation, as the lunatic himself. Applying these general rules to I. X. L.'s particular case, I arrive at the conclusion that he, and not we, are crazy. He has written a nice piece of fiction—short, it is true, but very romantic indeed. He says, "As the train approached Downey, I saw an old man throw a shot-bag of coin out of the car window." This statement is so plausible that it recommends itself to our favorable consideration at first view; it would certainly be accepted as a gospel truth by the most skeptical of skeptics. There is not a shadow of doubt resting upon my mind as to its correctness, for we all know there are hundreds and thousands of men travelling up and down the country on the cars in these hard times, who are daily engaged in the pastime of pitching shot-bags of gold out of the car windows. Now let us examine I. X. L.'s two theories; first, that the money was ill-gotten gains, that the old man was a stage robber, or an absconding cashier, and was afraid of being caught with the money in his possession at a telegraphic station." Would a stage robber or an absconding cashier, who was afraid of detection at a telegraphic station, throw a bag of coin out of the window in such a manner as to attract the attention of many and various" of his fellow passengers, and then walk leisurely and boldly out on the station platform? Second, he says, "some thought that the old man was as crazy as a March hare." Are insane men allowed to travel on the cars with bags of gold coin, without a keeper? Both theories fall to the ground simply upon inspection, and need no argument at my hands to refute them. They contain their own refutation. I don't know, nor do I care, how crazy a "March hare" is, —Star. The amount of total, as GAZETTE mathematician is, —Freight for the following ceived at the depot last night 1 butter box; C & W, 1 but Wan, 1 sack fish; H McDermott H Schwartz, 3 pkgs pump; pige pump; Yates & Sizer, sash; J G Bailey, 1 case hi 20 qr sacks flour, 7 pkgs mct candles.

Benbrook, of this place, met with a serious accident. While crossing the railroad track with his buggy, the horse became frightened, ran away, and Mr. Benbrook was thrown from the buggy, striking his side upon the iron rail. It was at first thought that he was injured internally, but we learn that he is getting along favorably now... Last year the total valuation of property of all kinds in the Los Nietos valley was considerably over one million dollars, and it is expected that this valuation will be equalled, if not exceeded, this year, notwithstanding the drouth. We believe that a careful census at this time would show a population of not less than three thousand souls, and probably much more than that number... Mr. Eli Taylor informs us that, from the first of October of last year, he has slaughtered five thousand hogs for Higgins, Spoedy & Co., of Los Angeles, the greater portion of which have been made into hams and bacon, this firm supplying a large amount to the railroad forge now operating on the Colorado desert. About 500 hogs will probably be slaughtered before the closing of the season.

The Star, of St. Helena, Napa county, says: "We were visited by quite a severe front last night (March 29th.) but are not yet informed as to whether it has done any damage." Mr. G. L Turner has purchased the City Bakery from Charles Hille. Mr. Turner is an old hand at this business, having conducted a large bakery in one of the upper counties. Success to him. During March the following freight was forwarded from Norwalk station; Grain, 778,160 pounds; lambs (112 cars) 240,000 pounds; wool, 9,525 pounds; merchandise, 1,046 pounds. Total, 1,028,733 pounds. We learn that the well on Mr. Andrews' place, spoken of by our Santa Ana correspondent, has diminished in flow from thirty-four to twenty-five inches, but seems to be steady at that. In our advertising columns this morning will be found the announcement of the re-opening of the Santa Ana Hotel by Mr. Beck. This gentleman is an experienced caterer as well as an estimable man, and we request those of our friends who visit Santa Ana to stop at his house. A warrant was issued by the City Judge yesterday for one A. Parris, who is charged by his own wife with the crime of arson, in setting fire to the cottage on the corner of Macy and Centre streets, which was entirely consumed on Friday night last.—Star. George H. Peck Esq., of El Monte, informs us that the rainfall there on the 20th and 30th instants was 70-100, and previous to that time 3 and 20-100 inches, making a total for the season of 4 and 20-100 inches.—Star.

Santa Ana Items. FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. Settled With his Creditors. New York, March 30. The well known sporting man, John F. Chamberlain, who recently went into bankruptcy, has obtained a settlement with his creditors on the basis of one cent on the dollar. There were 81 creditors and their claims aggregate $170,000. Recruits for Nichols. New Orleans, March 29. Three members who have occupied seats in the Packard House—Frank J. Day, of St. Landry, Barnard Davis of Point Coupee, and Ulger Romero of Iberia—were to-day sworn in and took their seats in the Nichols Legislature. Foreign News. London, March 29. A special from St. Petersburg says that on Monday Lord Loftus, the British Ambassador had a stormy interview with Prince Gortschakoff. The latter used very energetic language relative to England's refusal to make any advances toward a peaceable solution. This interview, it was thought, would destroy all hopes of peace. However, by Wednesday morning, other counsel seemed to have prevailed, for a telegram was sent to Count Schouvaloff to the effect that Russia had made another step toward concession. The telegram authorized Schouveloff to embody Russia's promise to disarm in the memorandum, which memorandum may, if necessary, be read in Parliament. Following are the conditions attached to the promise: That the Porte will make peace with Montenegro, accept the protocol and send an ambassador to St. Peterburg to arrange the matter of mobilization. Schouvaloff communicated the foregoing to Lord Derby on Wednesday. Florence, March 30. Prince Antoine Bonaparte, newphew of Napoleon I, is dead. A High old Court. San Francisco, March 31. About twenty minutes to eleven o'clock this morning an exciting scene occurred in the City Criminal Court. After the sentence had been pronounced, the question of hearing the argument on the right of the Court to order the Clek to correct his record in the Thistleton case as to whether George The amount of total, as reckoned by the Gazette mathematician, is 3.90 inches.

Santa Ana Items. FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. Mr. Newton of Los Angeles, late from Nebraska, is here with a view of locating and going into business. Also Mr. Lewis, from the same State, is about to engage in the drug business. Dr. Wall informs us that his son-in-law, also a physician, is about to start this section of California, from Mississippi, with a view of locating in Santa Ana. Dr. D'Assonville called some time ago; he is a very Don Quixote in his zeal to defend his peculiar tenets and with a clever gentleman. The "never sweats" have virtually disbanded, there being but two left; they are a big crowd by themselves, and are running for office on "Quincunx" principle. The Orange Literary Society held its weekly meeting at the residence of Mr. C. E. French, last Friday evening. We took a stroll up and down Fourth street a few days ago and strange to say we found more whiskey on the south, than on the north side of the way. Mr. J. H. Moesser has obtained a good three inch flow of water, at a depth of 213 feet. Since the rain, a broad grin is fastened on the face of this community and you can find no one that ever cared anything about the "Semi-tropic Water Company." The following list of exports and imports from the Newport Landing, for the year 1876, was kindly furnished us by the gentlemanly Agent, C. B. McHarry: Exports: corn, 36,-183 sacks; barley, 29,984 sacks; wheat, 5,441 sacks; beans, 1,095 sacks; castor beans, 890 sacks; potatoes, 814 sacks; buckwheat, 124 sacks; rye, 49 sacks; mustard seed, 4 sacks; wool, 1,139 bales; hops, 132 bales; honey, 376 cases and 14 casks; hides, 285; sheep, 2-973; cattle, 89; eggs, 10 cases; lard, 9 cases; bacon, 34 cases; tallow, 2 cases; beeswax, 12 cases; tallow, 8 casks; pelts, 13 bundles; lard, 177 cans; loose bacon and hams, 5 tons; merchandise and sumdries, 138 packages. Imports—Lumber, 2,239,834 feet; merchandise, 715 tons. Mr. Moye Wicks says that "he knows it is a great crime to be a young man, but he is getting over it as fast as time and his mensache will permit." Mr. R. E. Hewitt, principal of our public schools, and Mrs. Hall, his first assistant, are giving universal satisfaction to pupils and parents. "Sanscrit" in the Times, was one week ahead of time with his article on the "The Festivals." The writer must be ahead of the "times," or has "time(s)" by the forelock. Capt. West has taken up a portion of the remaining tide land near Newport harbor. There is considerable more to be taken up by those wishing to take the necessary steps to obtain it. The sympathies of this community are enlisted in behalf of the McFadden Bros. in the unequal fight that is being waged against them. It is might against right, with a tolerable show for the latter to win. We are pained to learn that Jubal is not to return to us immediately. Mr. L. J. Lockhart is around testing the Mr. Stamps, of Orange, informs us that he used to live in Sonoma county. One day, when he was in Petaluma, the county-seat, a cinnamon bear came meandering along the main street. He says that all the men, women, children and dogs took after the brute and frightened him into the nearest tree, where he was shot to death. We asked him if his bearship showed any fight. "Why, no," said he. "What could one poor bear do against fifty dogs and a hundred women?" Mr. Supervisor Allen arrived here last Thursday night on his way from San Diego, wet and hungry. He reports heavier rain southeast of here than here. He expresses a very unfavorable opinion of Lower California as a stock country. He says they have a political revolution there every few days, but that Americans remain unmolested, so long as they take sides with neither party. About one inch of rain fell here up to noon the 30th inst. Dr. Yocum has been in town several times this week on professional business. Dr. Loewen, of Riverside, writes us that he will be here in about ten days or two weeks for the purpose of practicing his profession. He says that he can give a bolus or a sugar pellet—"you pays your money and you takes your choice." Mr. John Lowe, a former townsman of yours, is erecting a fine residence in the western part of town. We expect that he is building it to rent—"I dunno." A late decision, promulgated by the "powers that be," lays down the principle that it is a teacher's duty to show more consideration to a School Trustee's children than to those of the common herd, especially if you wish to retain your position as teacher. We are informed that the official head of a teacher came off, some time ago, for disregarding this wholesome law. That’s a decision as is a decision. BY TELEGRAPH. The Congressional Fight. SAN FRANCISCO, March 30. Yesterday, in the Supreme Court, in the matter of the application of R. Pacheco for a writ of mandate directed to Thomas Beck, Secretary of State, Attorney General Jo. Hamilton filed an answer to the application verified by the respondent, Beck, making a general denial to the prayer of the application, and alleging that Wigginton had a majority of one vote in the Fourth Congressional District over Pacheco. By order of the Court, it was ordered that counsel have until the first day of the April term to settle the issues of fact in the case. Rain In San Joaquin Valley. RIPON, San Joaquin County, March 30. We have been having a splendid rain here which gives everything a better and brighter appearance. We had given up all hopes of raising any grain in this portion of the country but after a heavy wind of forty-eight hours duration it commenced raining yesterday at 3 P.M., and rained copiously for six hours. This morning the wind is in the south-east, and there is every prospect of more. The rain already fallen will secure some grain and should we have a little more will undoubtedly secure at least a half a crop on the north side of the Stanislaus. FLORENCE, March 30. Prince Antoine Bonaparte, newphew of Napoleon I, is dead. A High old Court. SAN FRANCISCO, March 31. About twenty minutes to eleven o'clock this morning an exciting scene occurred in the City Criminal Court. After the sentence had been pronounced,the question of hearing the argument on the right of the Court to order the Clerk to correct his record in the Thistleton case as to whether George Thistleton has ever pleaded to the indictment for libel upon the family of Hirain Tubbs upon which he was convicted last Monday evening,came up. Judge Ferral was under the impression that he had set the case for 10 o'clock to-day,但the record of the Court showed that the argument was set for one o'clock p.m.to-day.George W. Tyler,counsel for Thistleton,says that he told the Court to wait a few minutes until he went to his office;that he had a reference case set for 1 P.M.当he returned,Tyler says that the Court had taken a recess until o'clock。他 says that Ferral was standing in the court room,near the clerk's desk.Tyler asked him why he had set the case for o'clock,and Ferral replied that the record showed that that was the hour originally set.Tyler replied that he had a reference case set for that hour and wouldn't be able to attend,and asked that the case be continued.Ferral retorted that Tyler would have to be present.Tyler replied that he wouldn't be talked to in that way;that when the Judge was upon the bench he had the right to address such language to an attorney,但as he was off the bench (Tyler) would not allow it.Ferral replied that he would talk to him as he pleased inside the court or out.Tyler replied,"very well,sir,我 regard you as the king of the hoodlums."Ferral replied,"you are a liar."Tyler says,"then I hit him."As Judge Ferral relates the circumstances,the statements both are very nearly the same except that Ferral says Tyler's language was,"sir,你 are the king of the hoodlums."Ferral says that the blow was aimed at his face,但 he ducked his head and received the blow on his right ear.他 then made a claw for Tyler's hair,但 it was so short on top of his head that he could not get a good hold.The court room was pretty well filled with attorneys and others who immediately "piled on us,"to employ Ferral's language,and separated the belligerents.Tyler was placed under arrest charged with battery and vulgar language. Another Judge Assaulted. SAN FRANCISCO，April·1. Yesterday afternoon Judge James G.Pennie,and some friends were in the Parker House.on Montgomery street and were about to partake of some refreshments，when the Judge perceived a gentleman named Gough,and asked him to join the party.Mr Gough said that he had a friend with him,and the Judge said,"Ask him up,too."When the drinks were being prepared，there was some "Sanscrit" in the Times, was one week ahead of time with his article on the "The Festivals." The writer must be ahead of the "times," or has "time(s)" by the Forelock. Capt. West has taken up a portion of the remaining tide land near Newport harbor. There is considerable more to be taken up by those wishing to take the necessary steps to obtain it. The sympathies of this community are enlisted in behalf of the McFadden Bros. in the unequal fight that is being waged against them. It is might against right, with a tolerable show for the latter to win. We are pained to learn that Jubal is not to return to us immediately. Mr. L. J. Lockhart is around testing the elasticity of the consciences of that miserable portion of the community that pay taxes. Mr. Theo. Walton (no relation of Isaac) thinks that he has done very well for his first attempt in the well boring line. Darwin's "missing link" has been discovered. As soon as he is able to add Vici to his nom de plume, the chain will be complete. Dr. Mason states that he was only joking when he stated to us that he thought of going to Arizona; therefore, Dr. Mason is not going to Arizona. None of the rest of the doctors have collared us for the friendly notices we gave them; therefore we are not compelled to make any more retractions at this time. Moral: If you can make people believe you are a martyr, you have got a good stock in trade. Another moral: Never confer an undeserved favor on a person, unless you wish to make an implacable enemy. We have thought of a better way for the Democratic State Central Committee to do than to assess office holders. Do as the Democratic Club did in this place—repudiate their debts. P. S.—We don't charge anything for this suggestion. It is a matter of congratulation to the people on this side of the river that we have two papers here, as neither one of them would be worth a — without the other. The "blue glass" experiment, that we mentioned last week, disclosed the fact that the brain was petrified, consequently "blue glass" cannot change it. The hollow tree breaks but never bends. The first installment of furniture from Downey City, arrived here last Saturday night, for the Santa Ana Hotel. A hot discussion was had on the street the other day between two fanatics—one professing to be a Protestant, of the Methodist denomination, and the other belonging to the "Church of the Latter-Day Saints." The former charged all Mormons as siders and abettors of the Mountain Meadow massacre. This was worthy of the days when religious fanaticism caused the burning of so-called "witches" at the stake. This same fanaticism caused the murder of the emigrants at Mountain Meadow. It is no better and no Rifon, San Joaquin County, March 30. We have been having a splendid rain here, which gives everything a better and brighter appearance. We had given up all hopes of raising any grain in this portion of the country, but after a heavy wind of forty-eight hours duration, it commenced raining yesterday at 3 p.m., and rained copiously for six hours. This morning the wind is in the south-east, and there is every prospect of more. The rain already fallen will secure some grain, and, should we have a little more will undoubtedly secure at least a half a crop on the north side of the Stanislaus. Further Arrests in Chico. Chico, March 30. Our citizens were more surprised than ever when they found yesterday that the Council of Nine was really arrested, for many of them have heretofore been considered good citizens. S. Henry Shuffleton, a native of New York, aged 38, has lived here for years and has been a respected and reliable man. The scene when he left his family, is described as affecting. J. M. Swain, from Ohio, was elected policeman last month. He has been here two years, is a man with family and is of good connection. W. L. Roberts is from New Hampshire. His family live just outside the town and adjacent to the ruins of the soap factory. John St. Claire, one of the nine, and Benjamin Smith, were arrested last night. Norton White, alias Williams, one of Captain Jones' Lieutenants, was brought from Red Bluff to-day. Mike Clinton, when arrested, left the dead body of his child to go to prison and returned to the funeral to-day, in charge of an officer. Ames was re-arrested to-day, making eight now here and eleven in Oroville. These will be taken to Oroville having mostly waived examination here. There may be several more important arrests soon. Ames has made several statements, which the officers requested not to be published yet. A Double Murder. Cheyenne, Wyoming, March 30. Yesterday morning Norman McQuag shot and killed James D. Jackson, aged 50, and his son, aged 21, at a ranch on Horse Creek, 30 miles north of his city. The cause of the shooting was about a woman, a cousin of McQuag. The murderer is not yet arrested. Another Judge Assaulted. San Francisco, April 1. Yesterday afternoon Judge James G. Pennie, and some friends were in the Parker House, on Montgomery street and were about to partake of some refreshments, when the Judge perceived a gentleman named Gough, and asked him to join the party. Mr. Gough said that he had a friend with him, and the Judge said, "Ask him up, too." When the drinks were being prepared, there was something said about the Ferral-Tyler row in the City Court.' Mr. Gough's friend, whose name is Mott, felt offended at something Judge Pennie had said, and struck at the Judge. Thereupon someone struck at Mott, and another party struck at Judge Pennie with a cane. The force of the blow fell on the Judge's hat, crushing it. The next moment Mott received a blow on the forehead which caused him to fall to the floor. The force of the blow was such as to render him senseless. Mutual friends interfered, and further trouble was prevented. The Situation in Louisiana. Chicago, April 2. The Tribune's Washington special says that one theory of the Louisiana Commission appears to be that, if sufficient time is allowed, the difficulties in Louisiana will adjust themselves, and the question of a reorganization of the Legislature be much less complicated. It is based on the belief that the colored members of the Packard Legislature, seeing the drift of things, will desert in such numbers as to give the Nicholls Legislature an undisputed quorum. The Inter-Ocean's Washington special says; The Republicans of Packard's Government insist that they will listen to no proposition of compromise—nothing less than the absolute recognition of Packard and the Legislature. A telegrain was received from Packard to-day in which he says he will be glad to see the Commission as visitors, but will not listen to any other terms save those of unconditional recognition.

Letter from Chamberlain. Chicago, April 2 The Tribune's Washington special says that Governor Chamberlain has prepared another letter, which has been sent to the President, but at his request its publication has been postponed for the present.

Lyonnaise potatoes are boiled before frying, and are put into a pan with butter and onion, and the minced parsley is thrown in before the potatoes are done. It clings to the potatoes. A railroad panic broke out at the beginning of the year in Switzerland, and the shares of the two principal lines fell about one-half.

We learn that a daughter, 3 years of age, of John Hennessey, who resides at Nineteenth and L streets, died about 11 o'clock Sunday night from the effect of a painful accident. Last Tuesday evening Mr. Hennessey was eating his supper, and a cup of tea had just been poured out for him, when the little girl, a bright and beautiful child, ran to him and playfully reached up to the cup, which immediately upset casting the almost boiling hot liquid upon the child's breast and stomach, scaling it so badly that notwithstanding everything was done for it that was possible death resulted as mentioned above.

The arrival of the Feld Jagers is announced at Berlin. It is a corps composed of 160 well-educated young men, who must have previously served two years as privates in the cavalry. Their vocation is that of couriers, charged both in time of peace and war with carrying messages to commanders of armies or of detachments. For this purpose a complete knowledge of the topography of the districts in which they may operate is required, and a close study is consequently given to forests, hills, streams, and roads down to the smallest and least frequented. Each year a portion of these young men travel abroad in order to study both the languages and the topography of the land they visit. Many mishaps have occurred to armies through the ignorance and mistakes of orderlies or officers charged with the delivery of important messages.
