WEEKLY GAZETTE. SATURDAY...AUGUST 17, 1878. AGENTS OF THE GAZETTE. The following gentlemen are appointed agents of the Gazette at the places designated. They are authorized to receive money in payment for subscriptions or advertisements: WENTMINSTER.....ROBERT STRONG GARDEN GROVE.....CON HOWE SANTA ANA.....DR. J. N. BURNETT ORANGE.....N. D. HARWOOD TUSTIN.....C. TUSTIN SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO.....R. EGAN NORWALK.....J. E. CALDWELL FIAT JUSTITIA, ETC. Complaint has been made of the law's delay in the Anaheim Water Company's case. We understand that Judge McNealy, who tried the case, has been repeatedly here to pass upon the question, but counsel has not been ready. This morning the case was called, and counsel for the Anaheim Water Company asked for time. The Judge (McNealy) ordered peremptorily that the case be heard definitely to-morrow, as counsel have delayed the matter too long. FIAT JUSTITIA, RUAT COLUM. The above came to us from Los Angeles, in an envelope, through the mail, signed only with the Latin inscription. A defective education stands in the way of our knowing exactly what is meant by fiat justitia ruat colum, but suppose that it is to the effect that if we don't do justice in this matter we shall rue it through these columns. Since the article appeared in the Gazette, complaining of the delay in settling the case in which the Anaheim Water Company is plaintiff and Amos Wright and others defendants, and which appears to have provoked the ire of the legal fraternity, we have had the causes of delay explained to us, and at the proper time we shall give a history of the case and place the blame where it justly belongs. At the present, it would perhaps be well enough to say that the blame rests with neither Judge McNealy nor with the plaintiff's attorneys. And we here protest against our former article being construed into an attack upon Judge McNealy. We complained of a judicial system which compelled important cases, like the one under review, to remain in statu quo for a year, which was the information we then had of the case. We knew that $20,000 TO THE TON. SOME FACTS ABOUT THE SILVER MINES. What John Smith saw at Silverado—What is being done at the various Mines—Discovery of a Tin Mine. THURSDAY, August 8. EDITOR GAZETTE:—I improved an excellent opportunity of visiting the new mining region to-day, and find myself this evening, after a hot ride up the canyon, enjoying the hospitality of Mr. P. A Clark, District Recorder. It is evening now. We have just taken a miners' supper and are smoking cigars around the lantern that constitutes the gasworks of Silverado. Of course I can say nothing yet of the mines from personal observation, but will improve this evening by a compilation of such information as is to be obtained from the Recorder's books and the camp generally. The locations now recorded number 129, and many others are made, not recorded, and are added to daily. Prospecting to some extent is being made in most of them, and on half a dozen or more ore is being taken out as follows: The Blue Light mine (Dunlap & Co.), a little over a mile from town, on the Grayback lode, has taken out 150 to 200 tons, which will assay, from careful working tests, made in San Francisco, $200 a ton. It can be delivered in San Francisco at $5 50 a ton, from the dump. The most of it is here yet, awaiting shipment. The Southern Slope, (Huntington & Co.) is just commencing to take out ore. The first extracted assayed $4,233.90 silver per ton, and it grows richer as they go down. They make a shipment on the 19th. Their first class ore they calculate will go $15,000 to $20,000 a ton. It is worth $600 a sack, of 125 to 150 pounds. Next in importance is the Southern Belle (Henry Caissiday and others). They have several tons of ore on the dump and are finding it in new places, prospecting the ledge around. Working tests on this ore have given over $50 a ton. The Mammoth shows some fine looking ore, though it has not taken out much. It is the second claim located. A Chat with an Ancient Grower. (From the Los Angeles) During our late visit to took occasion to interview leading manufacturers of and brandies. Our first Benjamin Dreyfus, who trade, and who has extended Anaheim. Mr. Dreyfus is known in Los Angeles, having sagacious man, and his opinion received with deference by all in the trade and in one of dustries of this county. To the remark that we had been lately over the Angeles vineyards, and their probable yield, Mr. that the grape crop would The grapes had not filled know whether to ascribe drought of last year or to of the present. The one that the two seasons take ceptional and the result wv We asked Mr. Dreyfus of the California wine and encouraging. He replied that it was staples were coming large the East, and large quan wines and brandies were and in California with himself received large ores wines so labeled, both from private patrons, their guests relished it he posed it was manufactured. We asked Mr. Dreyfus maker whether we could formia up to the standard of the Rhine. Mr. Dreyfus replied could if we planted the p Many of the light wines nia were quite as good as and many of them were the average grades of fair Reisling, for instance, w many Rhine wines were by admixture with thi wires. We here said that man BUTLER, KEARNEY, AND THE CHINAMEN. Dennis Kearney, of California, propounded to Benj. F. Butler, of Massachusetts, the following questions, which the last named statesman was asked to answer: First—What power has a State, by provision in its Constitution, to prevent Chinese immigration? Second—What discrimination can it make by amendments to its Constitution against aliens and those not capable of admission to citizenship, without conflicting with the 14th amendment to the Constitution of the United States? Third—Can we debar them by constitutional inhibition from fishing in our inland waters, from receiving license to engage in business, and from using our State courts and from other privileges enjoyed by citizens? Fourth—Can a State levy a capitation tax on such aliens? Fifth—Can a State confer on municipalities the right to exclude them from the city limits? Sixth and generally—What can a State do to protect itself from this curse? Gen. Butler's reply is just published, and it is a very lengthy one. To the first question he says that, under the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States and under the treaty, a State cannot by its organic law or legislative action prevent or hinder the immigration of the subjects of the empire of China. To the second question he answers that any action taken by a State against aliens, and especially against the Chinese, who can never become citizens, will not conflict with the Fourteenth amendment to the Constitution, which guards the rights of citizens only. In answer to the third question, he thinks that the State, through its Legislature, can control the rights of fisheries, and that aliens may be made incapable of suing or being sued in the State Courts, and be deprived of other privileges enjoyed by citizens. Gen. Butler thinks that a State has the power to levy any taxation upon those who reside within its limits; to make such discriminations against them as it chooses; how much and in what manner it may tax its own citizens, may be regulated by the State; but, for a stronger reason, it may protect itself against the pauperism of any alien residing thereat who may so become, by levying a tax, however onerous, to protect itself from such pauperism; nor does the "most favored nations" clause oppose any hindrance per ton, and it grows richer as they go down. They make a shipment on the 19th. Their first class ore they calculate will go $15,000 to $20,000 a ton. It is worth $600 a sack, of 125 to 150 pounds. Next in importance is the Southern Belle (Henry Cassiday and others). They have several tons of ore on the dump and are finding it in new places, prospecting the ledge around. Working tests on this ore have given over $50 a ton. The Mammoth shows some fine looking ore, though it has not taken out much. It is the second claim located. The Grayback mine, on the Grayback lode, (owned by Taylor & Co.) has just opened up a body of ore near the surface. It looks rich, though I hear no assays. The Mountain View (Sears & Lake) are taking out a good, low grade, free milling ore. The Alpha and Fairview Companies (Ophir lode) are taking out low grade milling ore. The Marion (Cash Harvey & Co) are getting out some very rich galena ore. The Mooreland (1st extension north of Southern Slope) owned by Woodruff, Evarts & Co. has run a tunnel in 20 feet and has good prospects. Mr. Huntington says the prospects are better than he had to start on. The Thanksgiving, a continuation of the Southern Slope, has a fine surface prospect. Several tons of very rich ore have been taken out. Work is being prosecuted on the Emma and others, with encouraging prospects. A tin mine, named the George Washington, has been located by Henry S. Knapp, P. A. Clark and others. It is 200 to 400 feet wide and is a continuation of the same ledge as the famous Temescal mine. The quality of ore is not yet tested; but if found to be of an average quality, or even below that, it will prove to be the greatest discovery of tin in the world. FRIDAY, August 9. The necessity of a speedy return precludes the possibility of visiting more than one mine—the Southern Slope. It is near camp, and reached by an excellent trail. It takes its name from the southern exposure of the hill on which it is located. We found the two Huntington Brothers, with an assistant, busily at work. They have started an incline, got it down a few feet and were rigging a car to haul up ore. Several tons of it are piled alongside the trail, ready for shipment. Your correspondent is no expert, but the ore is what every body calls very rich, and I have no doubt the Messrs. H. have a fortune in their mine; I hope so. They are well liked and it is the universal verdict of the camp that they deserve their good luck. It is estimated that about a hundred men are engaged in and about camp. Great confidence is felt in the mines and that by men who ought to know. Mr. Huntington, for instance, has had 17 years experience; others doubtless equally as great. In fact a large proportion are old miners. Silverado contains 8 or 10 tents and shanties. It has a store, hotel, saloon, blacksmith shop on shops a bakery, butter shop, etc. Mr. Dreyfus replied could if we planted the pennsylvania were quite as good as many of them were; the average grades of fair Reisling, for instance, were many Rhine wines were by admixture with these wines. We here said that man or a headache as a constellation California wines. Mr. Dreyfus rejoined would undoubtedly follow improperly made wines tured in Europe or America be fully fermented before if it was not it would feel of the drinker, or in wine into which it should be headache was the natural eruption. Universally saturation not been accomplished of California wines; similarly norrance of the maker and enlance of the "Mission" to the large quantity of contained, was too heartless results had; however the manufacture of porous Mission grape, and as a result it was unrivaled. We asked if we could brandy in California as usual. The reply was, every good as was made in that condition being that should be followed in that our brands should quire the proper age, non to its marketable w SAN FRANCISCO, August 14. of the United States C ruled the demurrer in vs. Sheriff Nunan to cutting off his queue.

Butler thinks that a State has the power to levy any taxation upon those who reside within its limits; to make such discriminations against them as it chooses; how much and in what manner it may tax its own citizens, may be regulated by the State; but, for a stronger reason, it may protect itself against the pauperism of any alien residing thereat who may so become, by levying a tax, however onerous, to protect itself from such pauperism; nor does the "most favored nations" clause oppose any hindrance to this power. The fifth question he answers by saying that the State may exclude aliens, by laws duly enacted, from occupying any portion of its territory, or restricting the manner of their occupation, or require them to occupy a given portion only of its territory. A familiar example of the exercise of this power may be found in sanitary laws. These have always been exercised through the municipal authorities. If a State can say where, for reasons of public health, any portion of its citizens shall reside, and not otherwise, it is difficult to see why, for any other reason of public policy, a State may not exercise a like power. His answer to the last question is quite lengthy and discursive. He thinks that a State has the power to rid itself of any person or thing obnoxious, or a curse. "No State can against its will, so long as it is independent and sovereign, be made the lazar-house of the world." He knows of no civilized nation which has not exercised the power of deporting aliens, and cites the case of England, which ordered Aaron Burr out of that country, and of the Alien Law, passed during the administration of John Adams. Gen. Butler, as an expounder of law, has won a national fame; and if his judgment be not warped or distorted by his present position, his conclusion may be accepted as final. But he is the candidate of the Massachusetts workingmen for Governor of that great commonwealth, and is said to have an eye (the straight one) on the Presidential nomination of the National Labor Party. There will be some who will see in these expressions of opinion more of a desire to propitiate the Workingmen's party than to truthfully and honestly expound the law. It is estimated that about a hundred men are engaged in and about camp. Great confidence is felt in the mines and that by men who ought to know. Mr. Huntington, for instance, has had 17 years experience; others doubtless equally as great. In fact a large proportion are old miners. Silverado contains 8 or 10 tents and shanties. It has a store, hotel, saloon, blacksmith shop or shops, a bakery, butcher shop, etc. Most of the people are camped without either house or tent. There are several families, differing from most mining camps in having a good proportion of women in its population. There are also a dozen to twenty schoolable children, and a private school, preliminary to a public one, is in the near prospect. A post office is applied for, and will doubtless soon be established, with supply from Anaheim or Santa Ana. The roads are good up to within 3 miles, whence they are narrow, crooked, hilly and rocky, and badly need improvement. This latter want is rapidly being supplied by the people of Silverado, who show a commendable public spirit in these matters. Silverado will soon have all the modern improvements. John Smith. We wonder whether the editor of the San Francisco Chronicle had, at the time of writing the following paragraph, any knowledge of a certain case in which Anaheim is somewhat interested: The Constitutional Convention has an important duty to perform in reconstructing the Judiciary system, that it may serve the public good as well as the special interests of the lawyers. A personal altercation between two Wisconsin Democrats, Mr. George H. Reed and Congressman "Gabe" Boruck, is reported to have ended with the remark by the former, "If you had not had the bullhead luck to be born son of Governor William C. Boruck, instead of being a member of Congress you would be going home Saturday night with a buck-saw in one hand and a codfish in the other." A Chat with an Anaheim Wine-Grower. [From the Los Angeles Herald.] During our late visit to San Francisco we took occasion to interview a number of the leading manufacturers of California wines and brandies. Our first visit was to Mr. Benjamin Dreyfus, who is largely in the trade, and who has extensive vineyards near Anaheim. Mr. Dreyfus is almost universally known in Los Angeles, he is a practical and sagacious man, and his opinions will be received with deference by all persons interested in the trade and in one of the principal industries of this county. To the remark that we understood that he had been lately over the Anaheim and Los Angeles vineyards, and to an inquiry as to their probable yield, Mr. Dreyfus replied that the grape crop would be light this year. The grapes had not filled out. He did not know whether to ascribe this fact to the drought of last year or to the excessive rains of the present. The one patent fact was that the two seasons taken together were exceptional and the result was as he said. We asked Mr. Dreyfus whether the status of the California wine and brandy trade was encouraging. He replied that it was highly so. Our staples were coming largely into demand in the East, and large quantities of California wines and brandies were being sold there and in California with foreign labels. He himself received large orders for California wines so labeled, both from the trade and from private patrons, the latter saying that their guests relished it highly if they supposed it was manufactured in Europe. We asked Mr. Dreyfus's opinion as a wine maker whether we could make wines in California up to the standard of the light wines of the Rhine. Mr. Dreyfus replied that we certainly could if we planted the proper kind of grapes. Many of the light wines now made in California were quite as good as good Rhine wine, and many of them were much better than the average grades of fair Rhine wines. The Reisling, for instance, was such a wine, and many Rhine wines were amazingly improved by admixture with the native California wines. We here said that many persons complain at the headache as a consequence of drinking Dissolution of Coppartnership. ANAHEIM, July 31st, 1878. The coppartnership heretofore existing between the undersigned is this day dissolved by mutual consent. All debts due the late firm of Melrose & Athearn must be paid to Richard Melrose, and all debts due by said firm will be paid by him. RICHARD MELROSE, FRED. W. ATHEARN, Anaheim Literary Society. This society held its usual weekly meeting in Magnolia Hall on Thursday evening, August 15. Otto Des Granges was appointed critic on the exercises of the evening. Mr. G. B. Shaffer read a criticism on the performances of the last meeting. The question Resoleed, That the chief executive of a State or nation should be deprived of the power of granting pardon to convicts, was discussed affirmatively by Messra. Henderson and Fish, negatively by Messra. Guinn and Shaffer. The committee to decide on the merits of the debate gave their decision in favor of the affirmative. The following members were elected officers for the ensuing term of eight weeks: President, C. E. Leonard; Vice-President, Fred. McKinnie; Secretary, G. B. Shaffer; Treasurer, J. M. Guinn; Sergeant-at-Arms, Otto Des Granges, Jr. The treasurer reported a balance of $19.35 in the treasury. The following programme was adopted for the next meeting: For declarations, Messra. Des Granges, Payne and McKinnie. Question for discussion, Resolved, That unprincipled journalism is a greater evil to the country than bad legislation. Affirmative, Guinn, Leonard, Mendelson; negative, McFadden, Athearn, Boebe. The Society adjourned to meet Thursday eve., Aug. 22. A new clerk in a drug store was discharged the other day because he didn't know how to look wise, roll his eyes and say "seventy-five cents" without turning red in the face as he handed out a little powder that had cost the concern about two cents and a fraction. Emotion and business dont jingle. The laws of Mississippi forbid the marriage of a widow and her father-in-law. Therefore Mr. Dreyfus replied that we certainly could if we planted the proper kind of grapes. Many of the light wines now made in California were quite as good as good Rhine wine and many of them were much better than the average grades of fair Rhine wines. The Reisling, for instance, was such a wine, and many Rhine wines were amazingly improved by admixture with the native California wines. We here said that many persons complain of a headache as a consequence of drinking California wines. Mr. Dreyfus rejoined that a headache would undoubtedly follow the drinking of improperly made wines, whether manufactured in Europe or America. Wine should be fully fermented before being drank, and if it was not it would ferment in the stomach of the drinker, or in whatever warm place into which it should be introduced, and a headache was the natural result to thedrinker of such misplaced and ill-timed fermentation. Universally satisfactory results had not been accomplished in the manipulation of California wines, simply through the ignorance of the maker and the general prevalence of the "Mission" grape, which, owing to the large quantity of saccharine matter it contained, was too heavily alcoholic. Excellent results had, however, been obtained in the manufacture of port wine by using the Mission grape, and as a brandy making staple it was unrivaled. We asked if we could make as good a brandy in California as they do in France. The reply was, every whit as good, or as good as was made in the world, the single condition being that the correct process should be followed in the manufacture, and that our brands should be allowed to acquire the proper age, which last is a sine qua non to its marketable value. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 13.—Judge Sawyer, of the United States Circuit Court, has overruled the demurrer in the case of Ah Kow va Sheriff Nunan to recover damages for cutting off his queue. The Court ruled that there was no ordinance to authorize the barbarous proceeding on the Sheriff's part and that he had no general authority to do so. CONCORD (N. H.), August 9.—The bill allowing women to vote in school meetings passed the House of Representatives yesterday. It had previously passed the Senate by a vote of 9 to 3. This is the first substantial legislative victory won by the women suffragists of New England. MALAGA, August 14.—Thirty-one hectares of vineyard have been attacked by the phylloxera, the ravages of which are increasing alarmingly. SAN JOSE, August 14.—Francis Thurman, an insane man, who almost disemboweled himself about ten days ago, escaped from the house about 4 o'clock this morning, and has not since been heard from. Thurman has three brothers residing at El Monte, Los Angeles county. A new clerk in a drug store was discharged the other day because he didn't know how to look wise, roll his eyes and say "seventy-five cents" without turning red in the face as he handed out a little powder that had cost the concern about two cents and a fraction. Emotion and business dont jingle. The laws of Mississippi forbid the marriage of a widow and her father-in-law. Therefore Alfred Boyce, aged 60, and Mary Boyce, aged 19, were compelled to go to Illinois to have the ceremony performed. He is sickly and may die soon. His father is alive, at the age of 81, and Mary says she would as lief marry him, she likes the family so well.

The Augusta Chronicle says that Alexander H. Stephens was speaking at Lexington, when becoming slightly exhausted, he drew from his pocket a little phial of whiskey, from which he took the faintest sip, and resuming his speech, said, "Yes, fellow citizens, this is the true Democracy." One of Boston's large brewers has recently brought on a man from Cincinnati to superintend his brewery, at an annual salary of more than twice that of the President of Harvard University.

Thurman has three brothers residing at El Monte, Los Angeles county. SACRAMENTO, August 15.—In the Tullis murder matter, new facts continually come to light which fix the crime on Dye and Anderson without a shadow of a doubt. No other motive, it is now certain, existed for the killing of Tullis except to enable Dye, who is the public administrator of this county, to administer on his estate, which, it is now ascertained, is worth fully $80,000. The excitement here, instead of abating, is hourly growing more intense as facts develop fastening the crime on Dye and Anderson. This morning Clark, Dye's partner in the saloon, was re-arrested, the officers believing it best to lock him up until the case is fully worked out, as it is beginning to be believed that Clark knew the murder was to take place, and even if that shall not be established, they wish to prevent him from communicating at present with outsiders. WASHINGTON, August 12.—The Treasury Department proposes to try the experiment of shipping coin by mail in order to save the cost of transportation, and will send seven millions in gold from San Francisco to New York in four-pound packages, which is the heaviest package that can be carried by mail. This will make about $1000 to the package. The whole quantity will weigh about 14 tons and require 2 ears to transport it. —Teodoro Righette, a native of Switzerland, aged 31 years, was killed in San Diego on Saturday.

ON THE TWENTY-THIRD OF LAST APRIL I had the misfortune to fall from the roof of the Episcopal Church, where I was at work, and I was injured quite severely. For several long weeks I was confined to my house, and upon my first attempt to pursue my trade—that of Carpenter—I overtaxed my strength and suffered a relapse. My physician now informs me that it is impossible for me, because of my injuries, ever to resume the occupation which I have followed nearly all my life. Accordingly, I must resume the trade I first learned, and which I followed for four years, viz., that of Barber, Hairdresser, and Wig-maker. I have leased for a term the establishment of Prof. Dean, and have succeeded to his business. I respectfully ask the patronage of my friends in my new business, and in doing so I take the opportunity to add that I feel deeply grateful for the extreme liberality and patronage accorded me when pursuing the calling I am now forced to abandon. In addition to the barber business I will continue that of sexton and undertaker. In the latter capacity I will keep on hand as fine a stock as heretofore. I desire to call special attention to the fact that I have been appointed sole agent for the White Bronze Monuments, the best and cheapest graveyard ornament now made. I have a brok showing designs and prices, and have also a sample of the material, which I will take pleasure in showing to all who may desire.
