REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. Warm weather has come at last. Lovers of fruit are rejoiced to see the trees full of blossoms and young fruit, with a promise of a large crop of every kind. The new Constitution will be discussed Friday evening by Heathman, of Santa Ana, and West, and on next Friday evening, April 25, by Montgomery, of Anaheim. The people here have a good chance to hear one side, and we hope the other side, against the new Constitution, may yet have aearing. This is not a question to get mad about. Constitutional law ought to be gravely considered, and all sides heard, and sober votes cast. The Clerk of the Board of School Trustees has kindly furnished us with the following statement of accounts for the past year: Report of District Clerk of Westminster School District, from July 1, 1878, to April 15, 1879: DEBIT.

Clerk of Board Rev. A. J. Compton will preach in the Alamitos school house (D. V.) next Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock. A movement is being made to re-open the Landing. A petition has been prepared, to be presented to the next meeting of the Supervisors in May, for permission to build a wharf opposite the new inlet and to have sufficient land set apart for the necessary buildings and approaches. This is a most important move, not only for Westminster but also for all this end of the county. Section I on Revenue and Taxation reads as follows: "All property in the State not exempt under the laws of the United States shall be taxed in proportion to its value, to be ascertained according to law." The word "property," as used in this article and section, is hereby declared to include moneys, credits, bonds, stocks, dues, franchises, and all other matters and things, real, personal, and mixed, capable of private ownership; debts are due outside of the just system of taxation!

Rule, for Presidman who will pound for Vice President. The sign for candidates,and so many claimants that Constitution of the U.S.the number of Vice Presidents.. The Supreme Court, now in session in Los Angeles, has refused to grant a new trial to Dye and Anderson, the Sacramento murderers. They will have to "swing." An address was delivered in Los Angeles on Thursday night by A. A. Cohen Esq., opposing the new Constitution. Judge Terry spoke at the same place last night, advocating the adoption of the new law. A letter has been received from Mr. McLaughlin, the manager of the Buffalo Colony, stating that a committee will probably be sent out to examine the various tracts of land which have been offered to them. A son of Henry Ward Boecher, who accompanied his father in his lecturing tour to the Pacific Coast, remained in this State and is now ranching on the Tejon ranch. He is pronounced by those who know him to be a "chip off the old block."—Herald. As the agent of Fellow's Hypophosphites was about to paste a large bill, calling attention to the merits of that medicine on the wall of a building on Centre street, the owner of the building rushed out and insisted upon getting a couple of tickets to the "show" for the bill-sticking privilege. He thought the patent medicine man was a circus agent! A gentleman who was recently put in possession by the District Court of a piece of land near the city limits, attempted to begin the cultivation of the tract yesterday, but was met by the wife of the former occupant, who belabored him and his horses with a club until he was compelled to desist, and come to the city to have her again ousted by legal process. A lively spec of war was visible for a short time.—Star. On last Tuesday morning as Mr. W. J. Hill was dressing himself, he felt a stinging sensation in the leg, and knew that some insect had bit him. He paid no attention to the circumstance at the time, but he soon experienced sharp pains, which eventually extended all over his body. Physicians were summoned, and for some time Mr. Hill's condition was such as to excite serious apprehensions. We learn, however, that he is how out of danger. It is supposed that he was stung either by a farantula or scorpion. The members of the Episcopal Church held a meeting on last Monday. Mr. Geo. H. Kellogg was re-elected Warden, and Mr. C. E. Leonard, Treasurer. Mr. Olden, the refitting Treasurer, made a report from which we gather the following statistics: Total receipts of the year... $896.95 Paid Pastor... $480.90 Sundry accounts... 61.30 Church debt... 354.75 $896.95 The debt on the church on April 8th was only $197.21. About a quarter past eight o'clock last Tuesday night, Dr. Hayward, of Orange, heard his dog barking furiously, and on going back to his office, he saw that a chain broke. Section 1 on Revenue and Taxation reads as follows: "All property in the State not exempt under the laws of the United States shall be taxed in proportion to its value, to be ascertained according to law." The word "property," as used in this article and section, is hereby declared to include money, credits, bonds, stocks, dues, franchises, and all other matters and things, real, personal, and mixed, capable of private ownership; provided that growing crops, property used exclusively for public schools, and such as may belong to the United States, this State, or to any county or municipal corporation within this State, shall be exempt from taxation. The Legislature may provide, except in case of credits secured by mortgage or trust deeds, for a deduction from credit of debts due to bona fide residents of this State." I have given the article in full, so that the reader can verify references made to it. Let us see how it will help the poor farmer. Smith of Westminster buys a thresher through Jones & Co. from Baker & Hamilton of San Francisco, and gives his note for six months for the present market price, say $600. Under this section the assessor in San Francisco taxes Baker & Hamilton for their credit of $600; say 2 percent, or $12. B. & H. have foreseen this, and raise the price of the thresher to $612. The assessor in Westminster finds Smith in possession of a $600 thresher and taxes him 2 per cent. on it, at a reduced valuation, say $500, making the tax $6. As Smith is only a poor landowner, not being rich enough to have credits, the law allows him no rebate. Particular attention is called to this, as it is wildly ununderstood. A man's debts are not allowed to be deducted from his property, but only from his credits. If the farmer is rich enough to have land, and money at interest also, then his debts may offset his credits. But if he have land only there is no offset for his debts. His land must pay in full less any mortgage on it. The result is that Smith pays $612 for his thresher, instead of $600, as under the present law, and the thresher is actually twice taxed, and Smith has to pay for it. Of course, Smith has to get the advanced cost to him out of the farmers for whom he threshes, and as is invariably the case, the consumer or last man has to pay the bill. This is a simple case and easily understood. Let it now be enlarged to cover every article imported from the East or Europe, for the law allows no deduction of debts due outside the State. The importers have to add two per cent on everything to cover the additional tax to them on their credits to retail dealers. Every article thus credited has to pay a double tax, first on the credit, then on the article itself, and the advanced price of everything imported is of course paid by the poor consumer. This will cover all articles of food and wear,machinery,farm implements，wagons,and in fact everything not made or raised in the State,and the price of State manufactures，being governed by Eastern competition，will naturally be raised accordingly.Well may the poor man then say,"Save me from my friends." The tax on credits，notes and mortgages operates in the same direction.High rates of interest in this State are caused by the demand，incidental to the opening of a new country，which is greater than the available supply.The savings banks which are struck at by the new Constitution,supply say,fifty millions;a few large capitalists hold the balance.The State needs more money,and has been pursuing the policy of inviting Eastern capital.Competition will reduce rates,just as it does in the East。它therefore for the interest of the State and of the The Buffalo Express watchword be "Denise and nominates our work T.W.Rule.for Presidents man who will pound for Vice President.Tegin for candidates,and so many claimants that Constitution of The U.S.comme necessary.Howthe political state some Bitter for Presidentand dent?

About a quarter past eight o'clock last Tuesday night, Dr. Hayward, of Orange, heard his dog barking furiously, and on going out of the house, heard the rattle of a chain and surmised that it was the same with which his mare was hitched. He returned to the house, got his rifle, and went towards the corral. He found that one of his mares had been taken out of the enclosure and hitched about twenty feet from the gate. In the dim light he saw a man in the corral trying to catch the other horse, and the Doctor took deliberate aim and fired. The man dropped the rope which he was holding and advanced toward the Doctor, and before the smoke from the latter's rifle had cleared away, the maresider fired, the powder from his weapon entering the Doctor's right eye. He then sprang over the fence, the Doctor again firing at him as he disappeared. The rope which the thief was holding when Dr. Hayward fired the first shot was found saturated with blood at the place where the marks of a hand indicated it had been held, but whether the Doctor's last shot took effect he is unable to say. From attendant circumstances, the Doctor inclines to the belief that the robber was not a Californian. Grand display of Pattern Hats and Bonnets at Mrs. Flora M. Brown's at the opening, April 21st and following days. Don't fail to be present. All cordially invited. The largest and finest assortment of trimmed hats ever brought to this part of the county.

Leave your ordars for your hats in season if you are going to the Odd Fellow's or May Day Piscic. New goods received almost daily at Mrs. Flora M. Brown's. The tax on credits, notes and mortgages operates in the same direction. High rates of interest in this State are caused by the demand, incidental to the opening of a new country, which is greater than the available supply. The savings banks which are struck at by the new Constitution, supply say, fifty millions; a few large capitalists hold the balance. The State needs more money, and has been pursuing the policy of inviting Eastern capital. Competition will reduce rates, just as it does in the East. It is therefore for the interest of the State and of the borrowers especially, to have Eastern capital come in freely as it has been doing. But this new tax will of necessity check the stream. It will as an impost duty of 2 and 3 per cent. on all capital brought in. Our trouble now is that we have not capital enough to develop the resources of the State, and what there is, is in too few hands, and the rates of interest are kept too high for the poor man. There is intrinsic justice in the demand for a tax on mortgages. A man ought to pay tax on just what he owns, counting in his lands, his personal property, his money at interest and on hand, and deducting his debts. This is fair and just for rich and poor. Many people think this is just what the new Constitution proposes. Here is a grand mistake. Smith owns 20 acres of land assessed at $15—$300. He buys a thresher and gives his note for it. It is assessed at $300. He says to the Assessor, "The value of my land is just equal to my debt for the thresher, and I have no property therefore to pay taxes on. Besides, the thresher has already been taxed once in taxing my note in Francisco, and I have had to pay it in the form of an increased price." "Ah, my friend," says the sympathetic Assessor, "you may have thought so when you voted for the new Constitution, but you did not understand it. You thought it was going to help the poor man, but you deceived yourself. You must pay on the land and on the thresher, and I have no alternative under the law you yourself made for me." The amount of it is that the debtor class are arguing for a system that is not in the new Constitution. They may think it is there and ought to be there, but if they will read and study for themselves they will see that the new Constitution is very much mixed, said that in the endeavor to hit capital it hits the poor farmer harder than ever. Take a case a little higher up in the scale: Jones borrows money in the East, buys land with part of it, puts part into stock, lends part to a friend. Under the new Constitution, he must pay tax on his land, on his stock, and on his credits, and has no rebate because his thing not made or raised in the State, and the price of State manufactures, being governed by Eastern competition, will naturally be raised accordingly. Well may the poor man then say, "Save me from my friends." The tax on credits, notes and mortgages operates in the same direction. High rates of interest in this State are caused by the demand, incidental to the opening of a new country, which is greater than the available supply.

Is this a just system of taxation? Now let us come to the real trouble. A man comes out from the East with $10,000, and he loans it here at 15 or 18 per cent. Under the present law he does not pay a cent of tax on his mortgages and notes. This is a hard case. The new law is intended to hit him and make him pay his just proportion of the expense of government. But he is as hard to hit as a flea. He can notify his debtors that they must pay him an increased rate of interest to most his taxes with, or he can foreclose his mortgages and make such excellent bargains in his land purchases that he can afford to pay taxes on them until he sells them again. In either case how much is the debtor helped, and how much is the capitalist hurt? Let debtors consider this, and they will find that the only same remedy is to accept the situation, get out of debt as quickly as possible, avoid wild speculations on credit, favor laws that will invite competition in capital, and so they will be able either to decline loans at unbearable rates of interest, or to borrow at reasonable rates. Money is cheap in Massachusetts, and there is no such inducement there as here to invite capital to come in, and to count every dollar brought in from abroad as a blessing to the State. But they have just repealed the tax on mortgages there as being unprofitable on the whole, making double taxation in spite of every safeguard and so oppressing the debtor class it was intended to protect. Our Westminster debtors cannot afford either the withdrawal of capital or increased rate of interest. Our stores cannot afford a tax on their credits, nor can the people afford higher prices for goods, nor can the industries of the place afford a check on all cooperative enterprises. The indirect increased cost of living and doing business will overbalance many times any possible reduction in present rates of taxation. Only those who are willing to take chances, or who think they can see clearer than the writer into this millstone, will vote for the new Constitution. When it begins operation, and the courts have had time to decide its various meanings, then by-and-by we shall know all about it. Orange Items. PEGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE.

REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. The Buffalo Express suggests that our watchword be "Denis Kearney must go," and nominates our worthy fellow citizen, Mr. T.W. Rule, for President in 1880, and the man who will pound him (Kearney) again, for Vice President. This leaves a wide margin for candidates, and I fear there would be so many claimants that an amendment to the Constitution of the United States, increasing the number of Vice Presidents, would become necessary. How would it do change the political state somewhat, and have Ben. Butter for President and Rule for Vice-President? You know Ben has wanted the office for a long time, and I think would be ready to adopt the motto "Denis Kearney must go" for the sake of attaining it; and as Rule has distinguished himself above all competitors in giving practical application to the motto, and gained thereby a most exalted and distinguished position, their election would be assured beyond question. The platform on which they would go before the country should be, Denis Kearney and the Chinese must go. Then again the sand lot orator says "muscle is capital," and as the duties of the Vice-President consist only in presiding over the Senate of the United States, what man in the country so capable as Rule, who possesses unbelied wealth in "muscle" with which to preserve order and decorum in that body of stormy and belligerent statesmen? "Denis Kearney must go!" Your "local" has a paragraph in last week's Gazette in reference to a break in our ditch, which contains only one truth, to wit: that a break occurred. Instead of being half a mile in length it was about thirty feet; instead of a large force of teams and laborers having been at work upon it for more than a week and yet not finished, the water was let out for the purpose of repairing the break just forty eight hours, then turned in again for a few hours to test the bank, then turned out again for forty-eight hours more to give the earth time to settle, then turned on full bank and has been running ever since. The ditch has been in full operation for nearly a year, and this is the first real break that has occurred to interrupt the dispensation of water, and from unmistakable indications this was caused by some fluent miscreant intent on mischief. We are proud of the work, and only wish that the ditch on the opposite side of the Santa Ana had given as little trouble to its stockholders as has that of the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Company to theirs. Discussion of the new Constitution is the order of the day, and the more it is examined the more apparent it is defects. Very many who on first reading were favorably disposed to it, have concluded that it is "better to bear the ills we have than fly to those we know not of," and will vote against its adoption. Mrs. Talkington, a lady 60 years of age or more, met with quite a serious accident on Sunday last in being thrown from a carriage while crossing an irrigating ditch. A full head of water was running at the time, and as the forward wheels struck the opposite bank she was precipitated with force to the ground, fracturing one of her ribs and otherwise injuring her. If there is any power to compel the bridging of these ditches it wore a boon to enforce them, and should not be delayed. Our fellow citizen, Mr. D. C. Hayward, has returned with his family from Sacramento where they have been spending the winter. Mr. H. is looking "fat, fair and thirty." Unfortunately, he has been seized while sojourning under the "dismounting" of the Constituency of Literature. A list of the celebrated authors whose lives and writings are represented in volume 3 of the new Acme edition of Chamber's Cyclopedia of English Literature, just received, is certainly very attractive to any person of fine literary taste. Fox Penh, Baxter, Bunyan, Locke, Newton, Browne, Hale, Walton, Dryden, Temple, Evelyn Pepys, Bulley, Addison, Swift, Pope, Ramsey, Cibber, Steele, Berkely, Defoe, and Bolingbroke, are a few of the brilliant stars which brighten the 416 pages. "It will bring gladness to many a scholar's heart," says The Times of Philadelphia, "to find that this truly admirable work has been brought within the range of shallow pockets." Eight such volumes, beautifully printed, and elegantly bound in cloth, for only $2.50, or by single volume for 43 cents, post-paid, is certainly a marvel of cheapness, and should establish an enviable reputation for the publishers; if it can not make their fortune: Already they report a sale of 60,000 volumes. It ought to be in every library and home in the land. Specimen pages and full particulars as to various styles of binding, terms to clubs, etc., will be sent free on request by the publishers, the American Book Exchange, 55 Beekman street, New York. The work is sold only to subscribers direct, and the present wonderfully low rates are offered only to early purchasers.

For fifty years it has been achieving unprecedented success, and it has to-day a reputation seldom paralleled by that of any remedy. Drugstores sell it. There is no time to be lost when a cough attacks one in adopting means of prevention against consumption and bronchitis. A cough may, with perfect truth, be termed the incipient stage of those destructive malades, and the height of folly to disregard it. If neglected, it will assuredly culminate in some dangerous plasmary affection, but if Dr. Wm. Hall's Balsam for The Lungs be used, the complaint is speedily vanquished and all danger averted.
