REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. Pressing and ganging business has prevented us from sending our usual gossip. "Dick" Eagan, from San Juan, passed through here last Thursday on his return to San Francisco, accompanied by Messrs. Foster and Brenton. The latter is from Brazil. Walter Robinson's fine colt "Odd Yellow" knocked out some of his front teeth and fractured his upper jaw last Thursday. Walter has on hand, for sale, Wm. Shakespeare, Lord Byron, Charles Dickens, the Duke of Wellington; Lord Bacon, Anne Boleyn, Queen Victoria, and other illustrious personalities, all of the porcine aristocracy. Dr. Bailey informs us that he has succeeded Dr. Mason in the both business. His and Watson's bath houses are the only ones in town. Dr. Jones has rented his office to Mr. Schirm for a bakery and confectionery business. Lem Robinson says he can swim on office chairs, the News to the contrary notwithstanding. There is a good deal of comment and talk about the various methods resorted to, to obtain votes at the last election. The Straw man want to know if it is legal to run wagons after voters on election day? The Humphrey men want to know if it is legal for the Straw men to send wine and women from Anaheim to Upper Santa Ana "after voters on election day?" And so it goes. Mr. Salisbury is here from Santa Clara county with a view of entering into business. The town is full of strangers, in fact, looking out for elegible locations. The excitement in regard to the railroad and the location of the depot, has subsided somewhat. A very erroneous impression has gone forth from the Gazette and various other quarters in regard to the purpose for which the people paid the R. R. Co., $10,110 for. They assumed that it was paid for bringing the road over here, when in fact not one cent was paid for that purpose. It was paid for the purpose of deflecting the line of survey so as to locate the depot within one-half mile of the present business centre of the town, and to make this place the terminus, until the company should conclude to push on to San Diego, which they do not wish to do and will not unless they are forced to do so in order to head off the Texas Pacific. The people here are in favor of the latter road, and all other roads that will benefit them. X Y Z has the presumption to lecture the people here for their live effort to bring the road to this town. If Orange had have had enough live men with energy and means, they would have done precisely what west of John Beckett's bay 50 acres north of Glenn Bay. G. C. Mack exhibits at a 123 pound sweet potato is still ahead in this line. F. H. Kieffhaber has just stalk rake, to be fastened at a wagon.

Cowan has rented an office in Santa Ana, and that he will visit that burg on Mondays and Tuesdays of each week. We can assure our neighbors that Dr. Cowan is a thorough master of his profession and a pleasant gentleman. Point Arena News: We were informed at a recent visit to Mr. Joseph Gilbertson's ranch, twelve miles up the coast, that he had cleared the value of his ranch this year in potatoes ($12,000.) Mr. G. has sold his place for another $12,000, and his family left for their new home near Westminster, Los Angeles county, on Tuesday. The Herald says that a number of leading merchants of Los Angeles have made arrangements for the purchase of a good-sized schooner, by which they intend to do their own transportation business. Freight so conveyed will cost $4 per ton from San Francisco to the wharf and $250 a ton additional will pay for wagging it to Los Angeles, making $650 per ton, gross. The average run of freight charges on the Southern Pacific Railroad varies from $10 to $12 per ton. The new arrangement will admit of a considerable saving to the houses concerned. A non-suit was entered in the District Court in the suit of the Anaheim Water Company vs. Amos Wright, et al. The grounds upon which Judge McNealy decided are as follows: The last Legislature enacted a law requiring all existing corporations to file their articles of incorporation with the Clerk of the counties in which the corporation transacted business. The Anaheim Water Company having filed their articles with the County Clerk in 1860, took no further action. Judge McNealy holds that they ought to have re-filed their articles, after the enactment of the law mentioned, and that by the omission they have incurred the penalty attached to non-compliance—inability to maintain an action. The case will be appealed to the Supreme Court. As we have stated in a previous issue, a Committee of the Horticultural Society will visit Anaheim on Monday, and in the evening a meeting will be held at Kroeger's Hall, at which every fruit grower of this section should be present. It should be distinctly remembered that this Committee are not upon a begging tour—they do not ask for subscriptions to stock of any kind. They simply desire to meet with our fruit growers, and discuss with them matters of interest. The irrigation question will be brought up; the merits and demerits of budding will be discussed; and remedies and precautions for They assumed that it was paid for bringing the road over here, when in fact not one cent was paid for that purpose.

If Orange had have had enough live man with energy and means, they would have done precisely what the people here have done. Why not quit this snapping and snarling and do as the Gazette did in its leading editorial in regard to the Santa Ana extension, rejoice in your neighbor's prosperity and success and prepare to reap all the advantage that is found to accrue to all the settlements around us. The prosperity of Santa Ana means prosperity to all of her suburbs. It is rumored that Mr. Ferguson, formerly of Anaheim, will soon engage in a newspaper enterprise here. Mr. Linington proposes starting to Napa as soon as he can arrange his business. He has found out all about the "Albany Regency." A visit to San Juan last week satisfied us that it is the most desirable place on this part of the coast to recreate. You can have plenty of fine bathing, fishing, clam-bakes, quanhang soup and hunting, from quail and rabbit to deer and grizzlies. The "Hot Springs" are situated about twelve miles from San Juan, Mission Viejo (Old Mission) about five miles, which is occupied by our kind friend Don Louis D'Artigas, the leading Frenchman of this part of the valley. Space forthids an extended notice of the many points of interest in and around "The Mission." Every courtesy was extended us by Dr. Crane, and Messrs. Congdon and Bacon. Mr. Congdon presented us with some apples grown on his place, the largest of which measured 16½ inches in circumference, San Juan possesses resources that are unknown to the general public. We had a heavy hail storm on the 30th inst., accompanied with thunder and lightning. The road commissioners started from Santa Ana Tuesday morning to view the proposed road between Newport and San Bernardino. It is said that about $5000 more will be required to make a good road. As this road is of quite as much importance to this place as the railroad, the people should not suffer the project to fail on account of the comparatively small sum required. There are more ways than one of doing things that are satisfactory, perhaps, to those interested. If you can't get the one you want for Constable, "lay low" and wait for the judicial election and defeat the candidate for Justice of the Peace. That will gratify your malice and revenge most regardless of your previous promises and obligations. Getting defeated in that, hire a bully to pound the man who thwarted you. That's the way for a Christian (?) to "get even." Dr. Cummins has returned from his studies in San Francisco, and resumed the practice of his profession. Also Dr. Rowan. Oct. 30th, 1877. Westminster Items. Parties who visited Anaheim and other neighboring towns on last Saturday told of their binding on this article Buddha, which are—1, not creature; 2, not steal; 3, vow of chastity; 4, not drink intoxicating liquors; 5, not to wear perfumery and unguents; 6, high or large bed; 10, not silver. Of these, some are being founded on the families of ethics; others are address in orders.

It is a meeting at which much can be learned, and we hope to be able to chronicle a large attendance. Our vineyardists are about to take steps to bring conspicuously before Congress the difficulties under which our young and tender interests are oppressed. The production of the ordinary wine from our Mission grapes is so unprofitable that many of our oldest and best vineyards will be rooted up unless Congress should lesson the tax on grape brandy and the Internal Revenue Department establishes more liberal regulations with reference to the bonded warehousing than the ones in existence. There is so much red tape about these regulations—they are so replete with requirements that almost render the law inoperative, as far as our small vineeons are concerned, that we believe a fair and lucid representation of the facts to Congress will secure relief. We hope that our vine-growers will take hold of this subject earnestly. On its early solution depends, in a great measure, the success of one of our most important industries—Express.

It rained here on Monday, and on Tuesday we had more with a heavy hailstorm. After the storm was over hail-stones covered the ground over an inch in depth. We had a slight frost, but no damage was done to crops. There was a largelwater spout between the Landing and Dead Man's Island on Tuesday. It was seen by a number of our citizens. Have you signed that road petition yet? You can find it at the Co-operative Store. The road between the ranchos of W. Mitchell and J. M. Clark has been closed. Complaints are made that different parties here—some of whom have caps for their wells—make no effort to check the flow, but when no water is needed for irrigation allow it to run off on to unoccupied lands or into the roads, which is in direct violation of the Act passed by the last Legislature. In some cases this has been done for over a year, decreasing the flow of wells on higher lands, and unless it is stopped complaint will be made and action commenced to abate the nuisance. Corn husking is still going on and will not be over for a month: Persons intending to take part in the Coyote hunt on Saturday are requested to meet at the Co-operative Store at 12 o'clock sharp. It is hoped that parties will also start from Fairview and Garden Grove. Three parties working toward each other out on the plains would thin out these animals so that fewer chickens would be killed about here o'nights. There is a misunderstanding as to who compose the Committee of Arrangements for the next annual reunion. The persons appointed were S. Lyman, Chairman; A. T. Taylor, Mrs. J. H. Goldsworthy, Mrs. Samson Edwards and Mrs. John Y. Anderson. The W. C. Co. are having a small stable built near the store. Mr. Williams is building on his land west of Gates. F. Porter is enlarging and finishing his house. Henry Rogera is fencing his 160 acres. Caldwell & Chase are boring for Mr. Williams. W. A.

Gazette:—Allow me to answer a few pertinent questions given in your last issue from the Ventura Free Press. First—Why do they want to do so? Answer—Because of the necessity. To what do they object? It is a sad thing that the Constitution of the United States has been manipulated in such a way that the working men in this free republic are taxed on the necessaries of life indirectly, while Churches, that are empty six days out of seven, are exempted. President Grant advised that they be taxed in his Message. Again, the Protestants have managed to get laws passed for Chaplains. By an Act of Congress in 1862 their pay was fixed at $100 per month and two rations per day. During the Civil War they got one Chaplain for every regiment, and in the Navy. They had their pay raised to $1800 per annum. By turning to the statistics of the army you can find how many regiments are in existence, amounting to a fine little sum. Now, the unbelievers are taxed equally with believers; that is what we object to. We object to the assumption that the tenets of all religions, as laid down in the Bible or Ten Commandments, are any more binding on this age than those of Buddha, which are—1, not to kill any living creature; 2, not to steal; 3, not to break the vow of chastity; 4, not to lie; 5, not to drink intoxicating liquors; 6, not to take a meal except at the appointed time; 7 not to visit dances; 8, not to wear garlands or use perfumery and unguents; 9, not to sleep on a high or large bed; 10, not to accept gold or silver. Of these, some are evidently general, being founded on the fundamental principles of ethics; others are addressed only to those in orders. Just so with those that are reported to have been given to Moes by Jehovah in person on Mount Sinai, in the midst of considerable noise and smoke, evidently meant to be impressive. By these executions in Rountella. A correspondent of the Polishche Correspondens, writing from Philippopolis, says: "I left Adrianople in order to escape from the fearful spectacle of the executions on mass which take place every day there except Friday and Sundays. Whatever I went during my short journey, I encountered the same leguhrs spectacle. Certain of the unfortunate men who have been condemned to death by the court-martial at Adrianople are dispatched to the villages surrounding that town, where they are hanged. The Council of War of Philippopolis has recourse to a similar proceeding. On every side, wherever I went, I encountered the bodies of Bulgarians hanging wherever it was possible for them to hang. The transport of these unfortunate men is in itself a fearful spectacle. Each condemned man had an iron ring round his neck, attached to which was a chain, which was rolled round his body, whilst his hands were tied behind his back. Four or five of these men are fastened to each other in such a manner that they must walk in a row. At Adrianople moveable gibbets are being made, so that they may be easily transported to different parts of the town. The greater portion of the men condemned belong to the country people, but there are also others belonging to different classes of society. The day before yesterday a doctor of medicine of Yeni Zagra, who had studied at the University of Prague, was executed at Adrianople. At Philippopolis less ceremony attends the executions. Men are hanged in front of the houses. The people living in the neighborhood have become quite accustomed to this spectacle. You may be walking along a street when all at once you find yourself in the presence of a hanging corpse, which causes an undefinable sensation. Amongst the 19 Bulgarians who were hung yesterday, two of them were ecclesiastics and another schoolmaster. Of the eight which have been hanged to-day, two who were executed together were also ecclesiastics. The Party's Mistake. Holyoke, Mass., Oct. 19.—At the Hayes ratification meeting to-night, President J. H. Seelye of Amherst College spoke approvingly of Hayes's treatment of the Southern question, and said: "On this question the Republican party has made a prodigious mistake from the end of the war. We carried on the war on the ground that the Southern States were an integral part of the Union. When the war closed we abandoned this high plane for exactly the opposite ground. We said these States had committed suicide—the States whose citizens we had been fighting to prove the Union indivisible. If we were right in treating the Southern rebellion as a more binding on this age than those of Buddha, which—1, not to kill any living creature; 2, not to steal; 3, not to break the vow of chastity; 4, not to lie; 5, not to drink intoxicating liquors; 6, not to take a meal except at the appointed time; 7, not to visit dances; 8, not to wear garlands or use perfumery and unguents; 9, not to sleep on a high or large bed; 10, not to accept gold or silver. Of these, some are evidently general, being founded on the fundamental principles of ethics; others are addressed only to those in orders. Just so with those that are reported to have been given to Moses by Jehovah in person on Mount Sinai, in the midst of considerable noise and smoke, evidently meant to be impressive. By these laws the Israelites were ordered—1, to have no other God but Jehovah; 2, to make no images for purposes of worship; 3, not to take Jehovah’s name in vain; 4, not to work on the Sabbath day; 5, to honor their parents; 6, not to kill; 7, not to commit adultery; 8, not to steal; 9, not to bear false witness against neighbors; 10, not to covet. The first four commandments presuppose a nation believing in Jehovah as their God; and even with that proviso the 4th, requiring the observance of a day of rest, is purely arbitrary, belonging to ritual not to morals. To place it along with prohibitions of murder and theft is simply to confuse in the minds of hearers the all-important distinction between special observances and universal duties. To illustrate these remarks in detail: The four commandments against killing, stealing, adultery and calumny are of universal obligation, and although they are far from exhausting the list of actions which a moral code should prohibit, yet properly belong to it and are among its most important constituents. We make no objection to universal obligations, but do claim that nominal Christians have called certain passages, taken from the Bible and printed in a small paper called the Train-League, obscenity, and imprisoned G. F. Train in the Tombs and tried him for insanity. Why did they do it? Was it because they read the sacred Word of God and found passages they had rather not have had ventilated? I really can not blame them, as there are very few believers that would willingly read before their sons and daughters passages that can be selected from its pages. A Mormon priest once said, "the great trouble was that the people claimed to believe the Bible, but they believed it shut." Perhaps it is better so, but it makes hypocrites. Sabbath school children have verses handed to them that go to build up theology. They soon learn to feel "I am holier than thou." If inevitably engenders a spirit of persecution; and we object to giving Christians the power to persecute in the name of their God, as has been done in the past. I will ask the Free Press can a man honor his father and mother if he knows them to be dishonorable, even if he desires that his days be long in the land?

Oct. 31, 1877. A Russian Boxing Match. Mr. Ralston, it may be remembered recently gave, in a magazine article, several tales of the apathy with which the Russian peasant meets death, but nothing perhaps more strikingly exemplifies their physical fortitude than one of their natural sports—a strange mixture of British boxing and Japanese harikari-kari. The nature of this sport, which surpasses in brutality even the famous combat between "Brunny" and the dog in the Potteries, will appear from the following description by a traveler in Russia of what he witnessed: "A stalwart Russ, some six feet high, was being punished by an adversary fully six inches shorter than himself, in a most atrocious fashion. The blows fell upon his head and face one after the other, being dealt with a slow swinging deliberation and received with such apparent thankfulness that for some moments our astonishment was too great to inquire of the admiring spectators around what it all meant. We were told, to our no less surprise, that this was a Russian boxing match—the object being not for the adversaries to inflict the greatest amount of punishment upon each other, but to see which one received the greater number of blows before calling for quarter.” On another occasion, we learn from the same authority, the actors were a stalwart Boyard and a still more stalwart serf. The contest took place in the village inn, on a challenge from the Boyard. The trial was to be proceeded with by turns of three blows each, the Boyard commencing. He dealt the serf a tremendous blow full in the mouth, cutting his lips, and bursting them almost to a pulp; the second blow was dealt on the nose, which forthwith disappeared; the third closed up one of his eyes, but not a sound did the victim utter, nor did a muscle twitch in his mangled face. The Boyard now put himself in position to pass his examination; but whether he was simply acting as one of those choice dessert fruits that are put on the table on the tacit understanding that they are not to be touched, or whether the serf was too conscious of his power could not be satisfactorily determined. Anyhow,the serf having raised his fist with an ominous swing brought it with a trumpet swan against the sake of life. The Party's Mistake. Holyoke, Mass., Oct. 19.-At the Hayes ratification meeting to-night, President J.H. Seelye of Amherst College spoke approvingly of Hayes's treatment of the Southern question,and said: "On this question the Republican party has made a prodigious mistake from the end of the war. We carried on the war on the ground that the Southern States were an integral part of the Union. When the war closed we abandoned this high plane for exactly the opposite ground. We said these States had committed suicide—the States whose citizens we had been fighting to prove the Union indivisible. If we were right in treating the Southern rebellion as a rebellion then when the rebels were conquered their States had as much right to representation in the National Congress and all the privileges of Government as ever. Had this policy been then taken we should have escaped the blunders and crimes which have made reconstruction painful and porious. We remanded these States to a quasi-territorial condition,and sent them military Governors.Were could hardly have devised a better way to keep up hatred and increase hostility."

A Philadelphia girl has one eye that is right blue and one that is deep black. The Lucknow paper relates the following extraordinary circumstances: As agrarian distress is followed by agrarian outrage, so during the present hard times thefts, burglaries, and dacoities are becoming rife in dwellings, highways, and byways. From out of these distresses there sprang a singular case the other day. A young native bride, while going home, was attacked by three armed men close to Sandiler, Zilla Hardui. Her husband had gone a mile or so in advance, and when her bearers threw down her dooleie and ran away, she was left alone to face the robbers. They demanded her jewelry and trinkets at once, and she made them over. They then desired her to descend and denude herself of her silken upper and nether garments. She seemed to acquiesce, but after a time told them she had inextricably knotted the waistband, but if they turned away their faces, so as not to shock her modesty, and lend her a sword, she would soon cut away the Gordian knot of her difficulties. To this the three knaves agreed and on her turned their backs, when she sprang out of the dooleie, cut off one robber's head, cut down the second with a neat chop along the face and neck, and so furiously attacked the third, that he ran away with such trinkets as he had in his hand. All this was done by a young girl barely 15 years of age! After the slaughter she remained in her dooleie until her husband, who had been sent for, arrived, when the "happy pair" brought the dead and dying to the teahil, whence they were sent on to Hardui. The most singular thing is that the dead man and the dangerously wounded one are both Passio chokidara of the village from whence she started, and it would seem her marriage dowry was the bait.
