WEEKLY GAZETTE SATURDAY...FEBRUARY 16, 1878. THE FACTS We have received the gratifying intelligence that the settlers on the disputed territory of the Las Bolsas Rancho have succeeded in securing a half interest in that Kanoch, which will stop all litigation and secure to them the peaceable possession of their homes. They have passed through a long and bitter fight against the land monopoly and have shown a determination worthy the cause in which they were engaged—the cause of home and fireside. The section of country occupied by them, and to which, according to our information, they are now the rightful owners, is one of the richest in the county, and we congratulate them on the successful termination of the tedious, expensive and vexatious litigation in which they have been engaged. The above is from the Santa Ana Times. There can be no question that the settlement of the title to the Las Bolsas would be of great benefit to this section, and, therefore, a cause for congratulation. But we are sorry to believe that the Times is hasty at arriving at the conclusion that all litigation about the title is at an end. Ex-Mayor Sam Brannan, of San Francisco, was at one time an owner of the Las Bolsas to the extent of a one-eighth interest. This interest he sold to Ben Holliday, whoin turn sold it to E. F. Northam. In the early part of this week there was filed in the Recorder's office in Los Angeles a deed from Sam Brannan to D. S. Mills and P. H. Brown, conveying the grantor's interest in the Las Bolsas for a consideration of $500. Messrs. Mills and Brown undoubtedly represent the settlers; and if Mr. Brannan had any real ownership in the Las Bolsas, the fact of the settlers purchasing his interest would of course make them "secure in the possession of their homes." A one-eighth interest in such a magnificent rancho as the Las Bolsas is very cheap for $500; and were the attendant circumstances other than they are, we should be led to scout the commonly accepted belief in Mr. Brannan's business threwness. The settlers have probably made a good point in getting this deed from Brannan; but we do not agree with our contemporary in believing that all litigation is ended thereby. It is passing strange that our friend is verdant enough to believe that the Land Company will cease their legal warfare because of such a rebuff. POINTS IN ORANGE CULTURE The Mosted Question again—Some Valuable Information om Florida. In the two articles on orange culture which we published some time ago, we presented the views of the opponents of the budding system. We knew before writing the articles that the great majority of fruit growers here were believers in budding, and that but a very small minority were opposed to it. In fact, this was one of the main reasons which induced the writer to gather the facts on which he based his arguments. Another reason was that inquiry developed the fact that some of the largest and most eminent fruit growers in this and adjoining counties discountenanced budding. Now, when any number of intelligent men hold similar views on a certain question, it is very good evidence that substantial reasons exist for the holding of these views. And in giving currency to these opinions we doubt not that we have awakened a desire for investigation and discussion which will result in throwing much light upon this sooted question. To the assertion that budded trees are short-lived there can be no authoritative answer. In this county, budding has been practised but a few years, and therefore there are no old budded trees. While visiting Mr. Korn the other day, we were shown some trees which were budded on China lemon nine years ago. These are probably as old as any in the county. There can be no getting over the fact that the trees are large, healthy ones, and not only has the fruit not deteriorated, but on the contrary the fruit this year surpasses in size and sweetness that of any former year. But whether the succeeding crops will do as well is a matter of speculation. And this is where the great objection comes in. Not until another decade has passed away can the question of the effect of budding on the longevity of the orange tree be determined. Mr. Byron O. Clark, of Fairview, some time ago wrote a letter of inquiry to P. J. Borchmans, a nurseryman of Augusta, Georgia, regarding some points in orange culture on which he desired information. He received in reply the following letter: AUGUSTA, Ga., Jan. 17, 1878. DEAR SIR—I enclose a letter from Mr. Hart, of Florida, in reply to your former favor, which I asked him to reply to. You will see that Mr. Hart is well posted practically, and I rely upon his judgment more than anyone I know in Florida. The only thing in which I differ with him is in regard to the hardihood of oranges on our sea coast islands. I have this past fall The seedlings of these ranges are usually very cally decrease as the age.

We observe tha has introduced a co After an inexplicable and protracted silence, "Bion" once more makes his bow to the public in the capacity of a correspondent of the Gazette. We had long mourned for him as one dead—as one cut off in the early bloom of his youth—a victim of a misplaced confidence in the purity of Santa Ana whisky. Believing thus in his untimely demise, it was with no small degree of satisfaction that we heard it demonstrated that hell was a myth, a delusion and a snare; because we have ever entertained towards "Bion" a feeling of warm friendship, and the conviction that occasionally forced itself upon us that he was—suffering, so to speak,—filled us with melancholy. But now that we know he is still of the earth, earthy, we rejoice with an exceeding joy; and we hope he will pardon us for expressing the wish that his esteemed letters to this paper will hereafter exceed his libations in frequency and regularity. SACRAMENTO. Proceedings of the Legislature. The following bills have been introduced: By Mr. Ellis—An Act to amend section 4,747 of the Political Code in relation to the collection of taxes in the county of Los Angeles. Referred to the delegation. Also, an Act to create a Board of Wharf and Harbor Commissioners in the county of Los Angeles. Referred to the Committee on Commerce and Navigation. Also, an Act to authorize the Board of Supervisors of Los Angeles county to locate and build a bridge across Los Angeles river in the city of Los Angeles, and to levy a tax for the payment of the same. Referred to the delegation. By Holloway—Adding the County School Superintendent of Los Angeles, to the State Board of Education. Referred to the Committee on Education. By Mr. Smith (by request)—An Act to authorize the incorporation of the city of Los Angeles to issue bonds for improving the water supply of said city, and to provide for their payment. To the delegation. Also (by request)—An Act legalizing the assessment book and delinquent tax list in Los Angeles county. To the delegation. Mr. Note, from the Committee on Ways and Means, recommended that Assembly bill No. 245—an act to authorize the Board of Supervisors of Los Angeles county to pay the claim of a certain party for services rendered by Mr. Byron O. Clark, of Fairview, some time ago wrote a letter of inquiry to P. J. Berchmans, a nurseryman of Augusta, Georgia, regarding some points in orange culture on which he desired information. He received in reply the following letter: AUGUSTA, Ga., Jan. 17, 1878. DEAR SIR: I enclose a letter from Mr. Hart, of Florida, in reply to your former favor, which I asked him to reply to. You will see that Mr. Hart is well posted practically, and I rely upon his judgment more than anyone I know in Florida. The only thing in which I differ with him is in regard to the hardihood of oranges on our sea coast islands. I have this past fall seen as fine oranges grown on James Island, within a few miles of Charleston, S. C., as I have ever seen anywhere. A remarkable feature of these oranges were the enormous clusters in which the fruit grew. Some of these clusters contained 15 oranges, and were as close together as a bunch of grapes. Very truly yours, P. J. Berchmans. The most indifferent reader cannot fail to get the impression, on perusing Mr. Hart's letter, that he is a gentleman who thoroughly understands what he is writing about, and has the ability to state his views concisely and clearly. We had heard of Mr. Hart before as a writer of ability, and a very scholarly, educated man. Here is his letter: FEDERAL POINT, St John's River, Fla., January 8th, 1878. MR. BYRON O. CLARK, Anaheim, Cal. Dear Sir: At the request of Mr. Berchman's, I will proceed to answer the inquiries in your letter to the best of my judgment; though I must premise that the business of orange growing in this country, being still in its infancy, much difference of opinion exists in matters relative thereto, and many experiments must be tried before these differences can be decisively settled. I am unable to give you any accurate information regarding the Valencia oranges that come to New York market. nor do I think the statements of any one concerning them could be relied on, unless he wore a practical fruit grower, and had critically examined them in their native country. As the orange almost invariably comes true to kind, an easy way to procure that variety would be to grow trees from the seed, and if spedy fruiting were desired to work larger stocks with buds from these seedlings. I have seen trees inoculated from young sweet seedlings, which produced fruit several years sooner than the trees from which the buds were taken. Sweet seedlings with good culture usually begin to bear in five or six years from planting, with us. Although some varieties of the orange naturally surpass others in quality, yet it would seem as if climate, soil and culture have more to do with making a superior fruit than kind. Good Valencias sold this season in New York at one cent each by the box ($5 per box of 500), while Florida fruit of the same size and color brought two cents or more. Now I have no doubt that if the seed of the former were sown here, its fruit would be rated the same as any other Florida oranges. There is something in the soil and climate of Florida, so eminently congenial to the orange, that from whatever source the seed comes, the fruit grown from it is invariably of a high degree of excellence, as regards abundance of juice and rich, pungent flavor. The oldest groves in this State consist of sweet seedling trees, planted from good Mediterranean or West India fruit, and their product is almost without exception very fine. The fruit of trees grown from the seed of common Sicily lemons, in particular, grows to such enormous size, as to be somewhat unsaleable on that account. Laterly, however, building has been resorted to as a means of obtaining fruit sooner, and Mr. Byron O. Clark, of Fairview, some time ago wrote a letter of inquiry to P. J. Berchmans, a nurseryman of Augusta, Georgia, regarding some points in orange culture on which he desired information. He received in reply the following letter: AUGUSTA, Ga., Jan. 17, 1878.

Gildes presented, by leave, the report of the Special Committee on Constitutional Convention. The bill reported was made the special order for 3 P.M., Feb. 20. It provides for an election to be held on the third Wednesday in June, 1878, for 150 delegates apportioned as follows: The first 120 are elected in the same manner as Senators and Assemblymen, except that each county forming a Senatorial District, sends a member from the District at large equal to the representation of the District in both Houses; second, 30 from the State at large, each voter voting for only 20 of the delegates at large. The Convention is to be held at Sacramento on the third Monday of September, 1878, and the Constitution framed by the Convention is to be submitted to the people for adoption or rejection at an election to be held the first Wednesday in May, 1879. Delegates are to receive $5 per diem, provided that, if the Convention continues its session longer than 100 days, delegates receive nothing for the excess of time. The bill also provides for the manner of holding elections, of organizing the Convention, and for making rules for the regulation of the same. The States Senators of Mississippi are feeling bad because one of their number got up in the Senate and said he did not believe there were three Senators there who understood the Silver bill. But that is no reason why they should not make speeches on the Silver question. A man must make a noise before he can go home to his constituents. I have never seen any kinds here that were absolutely thornless. There are several sorts of small oblong very sweet and early oranges that are nearly so, but they are hardly large enough to be profitable on an extensive scale. The Navel also has but few thorns seed of the former were sown here, its fruit would be rated the same as any other Florida oranges. There is something in the soil and climate of Florida, so eminently congenial to the orange, that from whatever source the seed comes, the fruit grown from it is invariably of a high degree of excellence, as regards abundance of juice and rich pungent flavor. The oldest groves in this State consist of sweet seedling trees, planted from good Mediterranean or West India fruit, and their product is almost without exception very fine. The fruit of trees grown from the seed of common Sicily lemons, in particular, grows to such enormous size, as to be somewhat unsaleable on that account. Laterly, however, budding has been resorted to as a means of obtaining fruit sooner, and attempts are being made in the way of importing the choicest foreign sorts, and establishing a correct nomenclature of the citrus family. Still, many cultivators prefer seedlings from the finest sweet oranges, knowing that the fruit will be of good quality and arguing that the trees are longer lived and healthier than if they had been budded. Theoretically this may be so, and practically it may not; however, time and experience will settle these questions. Some desirable varieties, classed as hybrids or monsters, may not be depended upon to reproduce themselves from the seed, and such must, of course, be propagated by budding. I think it is as yet undecided here whether the Maltese Blood or the Navel orange will come true to kind. The latter originated in Brazil and is distinguished by a singular marking or wrinkle at the apex, resembling the navel in the human subject. It is of large size, and of an excellence of flavor and tenderness of pulp that can hardly be surpassed, and I doubt whether anything equal to it has ever been produced on the other side of the Atlantic. Travelers say that at Rio Janeiro it always sells at a good price when other oranges are a drug in the market. Trees of this and other newly introduced varieties may be obtained of A. J. Bidwell, Arlington Nursery, Jacksonville, Florida. General Sanford also imported a large number of the best varieties of the citrus family, from the Mediterranean. Some of these have been propagated for sale, and may be had on applying to J. B. Stirling, Sanford, Florida. I have never seen any kinds here that were absolutely thornless.

Travelers say that at Rio Janeiro it always sells at a good price when other oranges are a drug in the market. Trees of this and other newly introduced varieties may be obtained of A. J. Bidwell, Arlington Nursery, Jacksonville, Florida. General Sanford also imported a large number of the best varieties of the citrus family, from the Mediterranean. Some of these have been propagated for sale, and may be had on applying to J. B. Stirling, Sanford, Florida. I have never seen any kinds here that were absolutely thornless. There are several sorts of small oblong very sweet and early oranges that are nearly so, but they are hardly large enough to be profitable on an extensive scale. The Navel also has but few thorns seed of the former were sown here, its fruit would be rated the same as any other Florida oranges. There is something in the soil and climate of Florida, so eminently congenial to the orange, that from whatever source the seed comes, the fruit grown from it is invariably of a high degree of excellence, as regards abundance of juice and rich pungent flavor. The oldest groves in this State consist of sweet seedling trees, planted from good Mediterranean or West India fruit, and their product is almost without exception very fine. The fruit of trees grown from the seed of common Sicily lemons, in particular, grows to such enormous size, as to be somewhat unsaleable on that account. Laterly, however, budding has been resorted to as a means of obtaining fruit sooner, and attempts are being made in the way of importing the choicest foreign sorts, and establishing a correct nomenclature of the citrus family. Still, many cultivators prefer seedlings from the finest sweet oranges, knowing that the fruit will be of good quality and arguing that the trees are longer lived and healthier than if they had been budded. Theoretically this may be so, and practically it may not; however, time and experience will settle these questions. Some desirable varieties，classed as hybrids or monsters，may not be depended upon to reproduce themselves from the seed，and such must，of course，be propagated by budding.I think it is as yet undecided

Budded trees usually have fewer thorns and some think a thornless bud will make a nearly thornless tree. I do know, however, that out of a lot of trees budded from the same source, some will prove much more thorny than others. When pruning we cut away the worst of the thorns, to prevent their scratching the fruit. Sweet oranges, previous to the great freeze of 1835, were grown to some extent on the sea islands of Georgia. At present there are few to be found north of this State, and even in the upper tier of counties they are considered somewhat uncertain, by reason of the danger arising from frost. Yours truly, EDMUND H. HART. We have not the space just now to review the above, even if we deemed it necessary. We desire, however, to note a few points. 1. Budding in Florida is only of comparatively recent date. All the old groves are seedlings. 2. The idea appears to be quite prevalent in Florida that the seedling tree is longer lived and healthier than the budded tree. 3. It will require time and experience to settle the question of the superiority of budded trees. Here in California, the editor of the Horticulturist, and the nurserymen, have already settled it—to their own satisfaction. 4. Oranges almost invariably come true to kind, and yet a contrary belief has been assidiously preached here. That there are always two sides to a question is a well known axiom; but until the GAZETTE had the temerity to open this discussion, there appeared to be only one side to this question of budding trees. And we are not through with this subject yet. There are several other phases of the matter which will be discussed in due time. A Washington dispatch of February 9th has the following item of local interest: "Serious complaints have been made by wine-dealers of New York to their representatives here against the changes in the tariff proposed by Wood's bill. B. Dreyfus & Co., in a letter recently received here, declared that the change from specific to ad valorem duties entirely annuls the advantages secured to native wines two years ago. These wines do not need protection against pure European wines, but adulterated liquids made of spirits and essences at Hamburg would, under the tariff, come in at twenty-five cents per gallon. Under the proposed tariff the duty on wine in cases is reduced nearly sixty per cent. while bottles, labels and cups come in free. Both these reductions would prove ruinous to domestic wine-growers." We observe that Senator Smith has introduced a concurrent resolution re- Interesting to Bee-Keepers. The following extracts are from the annual report of the President of the San Diego Beekeepers' Association, made on the 7th inst: The past year has been the most disastrous to the honey-producing interest ever known in this section of the country. In 1876 we produced and exported in San Diego county over one and a quarter million pounds of honey, while in 1877 we did not export any, but imported considerable honey and sugar to feed our bees, in spite of which the number of hives has probably been reduced from twenty-five thousand to less than fifteen thousand. Several causes have combined to bring about this result: First—the past winter, 1876-7, was one of the driest on record, and the small amount of rain that fell was all after the 20th of January, and was of little benefit to many of our honey producing plants, cutting off our early spring feed. Second—the spring was unusually cold, with frosts and drying winds, so that many of the flowers were blighted or did not contain any honey, injuring our late spring feed. Third—the phenominal hot spell of June, consisting of five consecutive days of such intense heat as has seldom occurred here, the thermometer ranging from 100° to 115°, and the relative humidity as low as 5 to 7 per cent., completed the mischief, and our most reliable summer feed was ruined. After this only a few summer and fall flowers remained, and comparatively few hives gathered enough for their own consumption. This unfortunate combination of events is not likely to occur again for many years, and we may feel reasonably sure for some time to come that our county will retain its old reputation as the best honey-producing place in the United States. The outlook for the coming season is unusually favorable. We have had abundant rains, coming frequently in soft, light showers; the ground is in splendid condition; the grain, of which an unusually large breadth has been sown, is looking finely; grass is very good, and the honey-producing plants are in a very thrifty and fine condition. Three years ago, when many of our apiarists were first established, honey sold readily at high prices, and we did not think we could overstock the market with an article so fine as our honey was acknowledged to be. But times have changed; there has been a great increase in production in the Eastern States, and the quality has been much improved; hard times and general economy have reduced prices, till we can with difficulty sell our comb honey at one-half former prices. Fashion has also changed. Eastern apiarists now generally put comb honey on the market in small packages protected with glass, so that they secure a more ready sale and higher prices than we can. Another great drawback against us is exorbitant railroad charges. With these difficulties to contend with, we cannot place our best comb honey on the Eastern markets in competition with the local supplies and realize enough to make producing a paying business. we could send honey much cheaper; which would leave us a fair price. Good strained honey is worth now ten to twelve cents per pound in Liverpool. From the above facts and arguments I draw the conclusion that our future prosperity as honey producers depends on our making only as much comb honey as will supply the Pacific Coast, and, by economizing in labor, materials and freights, ship direct to New York and Europe a fine pure article of strained honey, which will sell low enough to create a large demand, and at the same time afford us a good price for production. The former prejudice against candied honey has given way, as I foretold a year ago it would, in view of the fact that only perfectly pure honey will candy. Our sumac honey, which all experienced persons prefer to any other, and which forms a large proportion of our production, candies soon after being barreled, will I think, become the favorite in the market. I am corresponding with parties in the East and in Europe, and will give the information so the Association soon. Since writing the above, I have received a long and very interesting letter from Thurber & Co., of New York, in regard to the style of putting up comb honey for the Eastern market. We may be able before the commencement of the coming season to obtain such information and make such arrangements as to enable our apiarists to conform to the present demand, and in this way get as good a price for our comb honey in New York and other markets as Eastern producers, though we cannot avoid the exorbitant freights that make so heavy a discount on our profits as producers here. CHICO, Cal., Feb. 13—Last evening about ten o'clock the wind commenced to rise, and towards midnight it increased to a gale with heavy rain. Between two and three o'clock, when the wind was at its height, the steeple of the Congregational church came down with a crash, tearing away the west turret. It fell to the north across Fifth street and into the pavillion yard, and was completely demolished. It was 130 feet high. The church is not much injured, and steps are already taken to repair the damages. Nobody was hurt. A correspondent of the Rural Press says: Possibly some of your readers who, like myself, believe in taking time by the forelock, find their early sown grain making a very rank growth this moist, mild weather, and threatening to smother out. There are several ways to prevent so undesirable a catastrope. On sandy loans turning on sheep or cattle would be beneficial. Some clips with a mower and let the clippings remain on the ground, but this leaves patches smothered. Clippings should be raked and hauled off the land, to be thoroughly effective. Those who have no stock to feed and whose land is too Stephens' Speech. WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.—The following remarks were made by Alexander Stephens on the occasion of the presentation of Carpenter's picture of the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation: Every fountain of Lincoln's heart overflowed with the milk of human kindness and so much deeper was the pang of his (Stephens') heart at the horrible death of Lincoln, that the event came with unnumbered woes. As regards the events which this picture recalls, we may not judge correctly if emancipation was a boon to the colored race. Providence has yet to determine that, and it depends much on themselves if it is. I, representing Southern States here, may claim in their behalf that their freedom was never fully consummated till the Southern States sanctioned the thirteenth amendment, which they did, every one of them, and by their own constituencies. I can say for myself and for the immediate circle of my acquaintances, and for the whole southern people, that there is not one who would now change the condition of things, resubjugate the colored man, or put him in the same condition he was in before. If there is one in all the South who would desire such a change, I am not aware of it. Men of the North and of the South, of the East and of the West, I would to-day, on this commemorating occasion, say let us one and all within our sphere of duty, whether in public or in private life, see to it that we do not violate that divine trust committed to us. Down South we are doing the best we can for the colored people, hoping earnestly that they will fit themselves for a higher civilization. The flag no longer floats over provinces, but over States; no longer over subjects, but over citizens white and black. Why can we not look hopefully to the future? Let harmony and peace prevail; let sectional strife be done away with and then there is a grander and higher future for us. But if the embers of the last most lamentable war are left and like additional fuel comes to flame them up, and if a conflict of classes, a conflict of labor and capital, a conflict of race, that profound ethological question which we have all got to settle and the most difficult one ever committed to the consideration of statesmen and philanthropists, shall break out and these dangerous elements again be aroused; I greatly fear that the recent trouble and disasters through which we have just passed will prove to be but the shadow, the penumbra of a deeper and more dreadful eclipse, which will come upon this continent, blighting and blasting the brightest hopes of mankind. Should that be so, then some future bard may sing: The star of hope shone brightest in the West, The star of liberty the best, It has set upon her darkened shore. And life, hope and freedom light up earth no more! A correspondent of the Rural Press says: Possibly some of your readers who, like myself, believe in taking time by the forelock, find their early sown grain making a very rank growth this moist, mild weather, and threatening to smother out. There are several ways to prevent so undesirable a catarope. On sandy loan a turning on sheep or cattle would be beneficial. Some clip with a mower and let the clippings remain on the ground, but this leaves patches smothered. Clippings should be raked and hauled off the land, to be thoroughly effective. Those who have no stock to feed and whose land is too mucky to allow of clipping and raking, will probably find it the most profitable course for themselves and their land, to plow under the rank growth as manure and sow again. Another development of the repudiation mania: The Legislature of Mississippi is asked to abolish the corporation of Vicksburg to relieve a town of a big debt. A Wisconsin country editor sent King Altonso, as a wedding present, a receipt bill for one year's subscription to his paper, with a complimentary notice of His Majesty in the first number. Frank M. Brown, a man who killed another near Metz, Mo., has returned and given himself up, claiming the reward offered for his apprehension. To work hard all day picking cotton, and then be sent seven miles to drive cows, was considered an outrage by a Columbus, Tenn., boy, so he hanged himself. Local Market Report. ANAHEIM, Feb. 15.

Washington, Feb. 14.—Sargent's speech on the silver bill was delivered before rather a small audience, for Merriman and Saunders, who spoke previously, had been so tedious as to thin out both the floor and gallery. It was, however, attentively listened to by the remaining Senators and well received. Its argument showed a great deal of thought and research, and embodied several fresh points. He forebly presented the fact that, at the date of the demonetization of silver, the gold dollar was cheaper than the silver dollar, and therefore the Act of 1873, in effect, compelled the public creditor to take his pay for bonds in gold. He also epigramatically remarked that Mrs. Partington, facing the ocean with her broom, would aptly represent the United States standing against the world in trying to maintain the value of depreciated silver dollars. His opinion of the pending bill, briefly expressed, was that it embodied bad morals and bad policy. Complimentary. The Star prints the following extract from a private letter received lately from Sacramento: The Southern members have been snubbed and defeated on nearly every question in the interests of Southern California. Too many members that want to be Governor next year, and so must run in the interests of San Francisco, Sacramento and San Jose. All that the Southern members are fit for is to vote and pay taxes. In the present condition of the honey business, the low prices we can realize here, and the high price of labor, we must run our apiaries as cheaply as possible. If a man has only one hundred hives he can realize more honey, and make more money by extracting than by straining, or, in my opinion, than he can by reducing comb to honey. If, however, he has four hundred hives I believe he can make more money by simply straining and selling the honey and wax than in any other way, because he can do all the work himself, without hiring any help. It is well known that the cheaper an article is sold, the greater the demand. In a letter from a firm in Liverpool, they told me that if we could put our strained honey on the market at eight cents per pound, the demand would be unlimited. It costs about two cents per pound from here to Liverpool, including all expenses. If during the coming fall, ships should be loaded from here to Liverpool with wheat, for our grain crop promises to be large enough to justify this. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. Notice to Creditors.
