The May Day picnic at Santiago Canyon to-morrow will be attended by a large number of people from Anaheim, and we learn that the Anaheim Brass Band will be in attendance to enliven the occasion. The indications are that the weather will be delightful. Mr. Elwin Ferguson, of the Santa Ana Herald, was in town yesterday. He has just passed through a sickness which brought him nearly to death's door, and although he is as yet far from well, he is recovering quite rapidly. The wife of Dr. J. N. Burtnett, who for about two years has lived in Pennsylvania, arrived in Santa Ana a few days ago, bringing with her one of their children. She did not know of her husband's death until her arrival here, and her grief on learning of his sudden and melancholy death is easier imagined than described. The new steamship State of California is expected to arrive in San Francisco on Sunday next from New York via Valparaiso, after a passage of but forty-eight running days, an exceptionally quick trip. Mr. H. McLellan, the Los Angeles agent of the P. C. S. S. Co., is a passenger on the steamer. As will be seen by our advertising columns, there will be much "chin-music" in Anaheim on Friday night. Not only is Judge Brunson advertised to speak in Kroeger's Hall on that evening, but Judge O.' Melveny as well. We have no doubt that the enchanting eloquence of these legal lights will have the desired effect on the minds of the voters. The attendance will doubtless be large. At the meeting of the Anaheim Water Company on Saturday, bills to the amount of $1022 were paid. The flume was accepted from the contractor. An additional man was engaged to assist in guarding the ditch. There are now four men whose duty it is to patrol the ditch and to prevent accidents thereto. An assessment of $150 per share was levied, payable on or before May 31st. The Los Angeles Herald says: The new Constitution is a "dead duck." That is all there is to that proposition. The only thing remaining is to see that the majority which entombs it shall be so large as to admit of replacing the era of grumbling and "belly-aching" by that of jocund industry and adventurous enterprise.

The bar is supplied with the abundant native and imported wines, liquors and cigars. ADVERTISE IN THE SEMI-WEEKLY GAZETTE.

It is with regret that we chronicle the approaching departure of Mr. and Mrs., P. H. Look, who leave here for San Francisco on Monday. Mr. Look will go into business in that city, and we hope that his expectations in regard thereto will be more than realized. The business in Anaheim will be carried on as usual by Messrs. C. E. Leonard and D. Drowne. Mr. H. F. Steirn will accompany Mr. Look to San Francisco. May good luck and success attend him. The warehouse at the depot is running over with wool and other produce awaiting shipment. The exports and imports daily during the past two weeks have been as heavy as at any time since the railroad has been running here. Our merchants are importing heavily, Mr. Lawton informs us. This morning a shipment of fifteen carloads of sheep for the San Francisco market was made by Prudencio Yorba, and several carloads of barley and merchandise were also sent forward. The Santa Barbara Press says that the Messrs. Rogers Broa., of that city, with a Mr. Stanchfield of Lower California, have leased an extensive salt mine for a term of years, from the Mexican government. The mine is located near San Quentin Bay, in Lower California, and is simply a small mountain of solid salt. The several sacks now on exhibition at the Memr. Rogers' store are fine specimens of salt. It is claimed to be a fair sample of that obtained from the mine, and competent judges pronounce it a No. 1 article. Arrangements are now being made to put this salt on the San Francisco market. A schooner will soon sail for the mine and bring back several hundred tons of salt to San Francisco. In his address day, Mr. West wished logy of Hon.

P. Want. EDITOR GAZETTE—As Mr. West had the closing argument in the debate last Saturday evening, and in that argument made some assertions which I had not an opportunity to reply to, I ask the privilege of answering them through your columns. Mr. West stated that the object of the Convention in providing that the State School Fund and State School Tax should be used exclusively for the support of primary and grammar schools was inserted in the Constitution in order that no pretext should be afforded for the withdrawal of the aid which is now derived from the land grants made by Congress to the support of the common schools of the States. Said Mr. West, with great assumption of wisdom: "It is well known that grammar schools are common schools. Therefore the Convention inserted the term 'grammar schools' instead of common schools, the words used in the Act of Congress." It would have been well for Mr. West to have stuck to "Corporations," and let the school question alone. Mr. West was not aware, perhaps (nor does the Convention seem to have been), that the term "grammar school" in some of the Eastern States and in Europe is applied only to schools where the Latin and Greek languages are taught (this is Webster's definition of a grammar school);—schools where pupils are prepared for entrance to the colleges and universities. Now, I assert, and I defy Mr. West to prove my assertion false, that the blunder of the Convention in using the term "primary and grammar schools" instead of time such as we have in this State, each teachers would step down and out of the profession. Under the local system of the new Constitution, if such have political influence or influential friends, they need have no fear of passing an examination. The less Mr. West says about the educational article in the new Constitution, the better it will be for his hybrid organic law. That article is the worst of the many bad ones in it. If all the rest of this instrument were as perfect as the Decalogue, the educational article alone is enough to condemn it. J. M. Guinn. Some of the Absurdities of the New Confusion. ANAHEIM, April 26th. EDITOR GAZETTE:—Among the delegates elected to the Constitutional Convention, there were a large number of persons who from want of education, brains and other requisites for such work, were utterly unitted for the work of constructing a Constitution. No matter how useful or estimable such persons may have been at home in their proper sphere, they were not only of no use, but from their ignorance were a dangerous element in the Convention. For, as naturally be expected, they fell into the hands of and were controlled and managed by men who did not want to make a Constitution in the interests of the people. These latter are really responsible for the crudities, absurdities, and stupidities to be found in all parts of the remarkable and unique document, some of which I propose to notice. A Constitution should contain nothing but the principles of law and government, expressed plainly in few words, simple and to the point. There should be no words omitted, required to make plain the exact meaning who for the Penn new days children.

J. W. Winans, whom he described as one of the brightest lights in the Convention, and one of the best lawyers in the State. He, of course, desired his hearers to infer that Mr. Winans was a warm supporter of the new Confusion, but he knew, or might to have known, that it meets with business at Anaheim Landing. From Mr. George Hull, who was in town last evening, we learned some interesting facts in regard to matters at the sea side. Our readers know that the closing of the channel necessitated a suspension of business some months ago, and that for some time fears were entertained that the port would be permanently closed. But a few energetic men, who appreciated the necessity of having an ocean outlet of which the producers of this section could avail them selves, and believing that the people would second them in their efforts to cheapen transportation, have constructed a wharf about one thousand feet from the old one. The wharf is four hundred feet in length, and runs out to fourteen feet of water. The Company will be ready to receive and forward freight by the 5th of May, at which time they will be in a position to handle expeditiously all freights which the people may favor them with. Mr. Geo. Hull will be the agent, and it would be a work of supererogation for us to speak of his well-known qualifications for that position. His teams will run regularly between Anaheim and the Landing, and freight received by the steamers will be promptly delivered. At another time we will speak of the great importance of patronizing and sustaining this Company, as it is only in keeping open this ocean outlet that the people of this section can hope to curb in some degree the exactions of the Railroad Company. Mr. John Eberle, of the City Gardens, who is now in Arizona prospecting, had a narrow escape from a horrible death a short time ago. He had penetrated the wilderness, with his companions, and when about 130 miles from camp, was surrounded by Indians who set fire to the grass and woods to burn them out. The whole party succeeded in making their escape by riding through the flames, losing all their baggage, provisions, etc. Upon arrival in camp Mr. Eberle telegraphed the facts to his brother in this city, who at once sent relief.—Star.

He, of course, desired his hearers to infer that Mr. Winans was a warm supporter of the new Confusion, but he knew, or ought to have known, that it meets with that gentleman's unqualified condemnation. In fact, the number of ex-delegates who have pronounced against the adoption of the new Constitution is very large. Here is a list of them: Joseph P. Hoge, President of the Convention. Samuel M. Wilson, J. McM. Shafter, Eugene Casserly, Chas. F. Reed, John S. Hager, Charles V. Stuart, W. H. L. Barnes, Rufus Shoemaker, Joseph W. Winans, J. B. McFarland, John F. Miller, James M.

Murphy, J. B. Hall, Patrick Reddy, S. G. Hilborn, Byron Waters, Henry Edgerton, Wm. L. Dudley. New York, April 24th.-The movement noticed a few weeks ago for organizing a Cooperative Colony Aid Association, to assist worthy families of workingmen to homes in the West, was completed last night by the election of an Executive Committee, embracing the following: Charles F. Deema, R. Herbert Newton, Felix Adler, Joseph Seligman, Courtlandt Palmer, E. V. Smallay, C. F. Wingate, Dr. Rylance and George Saterlen. The plan is to put the plan of colonization before the people, to aid such as are willing to go, if possible, and that eventually, if deemed advisable, the Association should take the form of a joint stock concern. We solicit the patronage of those who require anything in the job printing line. We have hundreds of dollars invested in job printing material, and our facilities are such that we can afford to do every kind of printing at the shortest notice and at lowest prices. A system of examination by local 3oards, final in their decision, under no supervision from a higher Board or higher authority, authorized to formulate their own questions and fix their own standard of percentages, is the most unjust, the most corrupt and most imperfect method that can be devised. I have known local Boards which never rejected an applicant because each successful applicant paid fifty cents for a certificate. I have known a local Board to use the same list of questions for six months, when they were holding examinations twice each month. Applicants who knew they could not pass would go to an examination, fail, but while there surreptitiously copy the questions, get some one better qualified to answer them, return at the next examination and receive a first grade certificate. Some of the holders of these certificates could not solve an example in long division. Not one of that Board was a teacher or had ever taught. They were political dead-beats, and were appointed because their party had to give them something to make a living. While on the Board of Examination in this county, teachers holding first grade certificates from States where this local system was in force have applied to our Board and failed to receive even the lowest grade we were authorized to issue. They showed by their examination that they were grossly ignorant of the subjects they professed to teach. In looking over the last report of the Commissioner of Schools for Ohio, a State where this system of local Boards is in force, I find in Ashtabula county, a county remarkable for the intelligence of its people, that out of 852 applicants in one year 431 were rejected—over 50 per cent. In another county, a county as remarkable for the ignorance and degradation of its inhabitants as the other is for its intelligence and refinement, out of 210 applicants in one year only one was rejected. In the first-named county only educated and capable applicants passed: in the latter everything that applied. I have been in both counties. In the first schools are excellent—the teachers educated and refined indians and gentlemen. In the latter the schools are mobs of ill-bred and untrained younghoods,the teachers illiterate boons. Under a uniform State system of examina- In Article 9 Section 6 on education it says: "The public school system shall include Primary and Grammar schools and such high schools, evening schools, normal schools and technical schools as may be established by the Legislature or by municipal or district authority, but the entire revenue derived from the State school fund and State school tax shall be applied exclusively to the support of Primary and Grammar schools." Under the present Constitution the child of the poor man could commence in the Primary school and rise from one grade to another,and if he or she desired could enter and graduate at the university.The poor and the rich met on equal terms and the best ranked first;or if they wished to become teachers the normal schools were open to them.Under the new,the poor man's child can get only the rudiments of an education Only those who can afford to pay can be educated for teachers or prepare for the university, thus discriminating directly against the poor man.Besides,if the county Board of Supervisors have the examination and selection of the teachers,the is easy to imagine the kind of teachers they would select If the Convention had planned to destroy our public school system they would have done just what they did. Article 11 Section 5: "The Legalature by general and uniform laws shall provide for the election or appointment in the several counties of Boards of Supervisors,Sheriffs County Clerks,District Attorneys and such other county,township and municipal officers as public convenience may require,and shall prescribe their duties and fix their term,eTC." The wording of this section is plain and easily understood,and by its express terms the Legislatures have it in their power to appoint every county,township and municipal officer in the State and fix their pay and term of office They can decide whether they shall be elected or appointed If they decide to appoint them for ten years twenty years or for life,"what are the people going to do about it?" The Constitution permits either the election or appointment and they can do as they please;and after any political party has got an army of its adherents settled in influential positions all over the State,它 will be easy for them to maintain power It is easy to say that they won't do it.Experience teaches us better.We know that political parties rarely hostile to do anything to perpetrate their power.I do not think it wins for the people to grant this power to any Legislative body.

Once or more in every decade there is an outbreak of vegetarianism. This time it has formulated a soup diet made of lentils, potatoes and peas. This thin and watery diet, it is said, will not only sustain life very well, but it is cheap. It is of some importance to know the best methods of preparing cheap food. In some parts of the world there is a famine nearly every year. Two or three years ago the famine carried off a million or more of people in India. Last year it carried off more than seven millions in China. This year we have amounts of a severe famine in some parts of Brazil. If all people were carnivorous, there would not be flesh enough to supply the demand, unless a part of the human race became cannibals. No doubt the pre-historic man was a cannibal. And there has been no time since history has given any veracious account of human affairs, that there have not been cannibals in the world. The carnivorous man has reached greater physical perfection than the vegetable man. The former is one degree removed from cannibalism, with a strong tendency to slide back into that primitive condition. His teeth are carnivorous, with some tendency to drop out, it is true, but with excellent facilities for obtaining duplicates. The vegetable man, in the aggregate, occupies a subordinate position in the world. He is not a conqueror, is not aggressive, and has not the physical power nor the intellectual stamina of the meat eater. Great Britain, with a few thousand sturdy beef enters, has conquered the greater part of India, and is now holding millions of vegetarians in that country in subjection. Somehow, your The Latest Tragedy. A San Francisco boothblack named William Bulleon, a native of Manilla, went to the bakery of William Prey, Larkie street, on Friday and fired a pistol shot at Pauline Christian, a domestic servant displayed in the bakery, and also fired at Man. Prey. Offense Cook ran to arrest Bulleon when the latter fired at the officer, and when in the net of cooking his pistol for a second shot, he was struck in the eye by a ball from the officer's pistol. He fell to the floor, but quickly rising he fired two shots at Cook, one of which took effect in his right arm, and the other struck Mr. Frey in the abdomen as he was entering the door of the bakery to see what the trouble was. He died in an hour after being shot. The cause of the affair is stated to be that Bulleon had conceived a passion for Miss Christian, which she failed to reciprocate. Bulleon will probably survive. Paul Rieger, of the firm of Rieger & Co., San Francisco, went on Saturday morning, April 19, to fish in Paper Mill Creek, Marin county. Six days afterwards his dead body was found near the creek. He had been shot from behind, no less than five bullets having passed through and out of his body. All the valuables and even some of the clothing had been stripped from the body. No clue to the murderer. The Cause of It. Citizen Zach. Montgomery has become an earnest advocate of the new Constitution. It was some time before he discovered all its beauties.

Under the nibalism, with a strong tendency to slide back into that primitive condition. His teeth are carnivorous, with some tendency to drop out, it is true, but with excellent facilities for obtaining duplicates. The vegetable man, in the aggregate, occupies a subordinate position in the world. He is not a conqueror, is not aggressive, and has not the physical power nor the intellectual stamina of the meat eater. Great Britain, with a few thousand sturdy beef esters, has conquered the greater part of India, and is now holding millions of vegetarians in that country in subjection. Somehow, your watery vegetables don't make blood and brawn, nor do they make the right kind of muscle for conquering men. Human nature revolts from a vegetable diet. The South Sea Islander, after he has been Christianized, retains a toothsome liking for a captive roast. As to the tropical people, who live on rice and plantains, what have they accomplish in the world? The bamboo hut, the canoe dug out of a log, and a yard or two of grass cloth about the loins, indicate the sum of progress which they have made. The North American Indian is a far better specimen of man, physically. He has got fighting blood in him—is aggressive, predatory, conquering and militant everywhere. The best specimens of his race live on wild game, buffalo meat, deer, elk, wild goose, duck, prairie dogs, grasshoppers, and so on. His game is highly seasoned, and though his tastes in the matter of selection may sometimes be questioned, there is no doubt that he gets some of the best meat in the world for bone and muscle. If you send out a vegetarian to fight such a man, the carnivorous man makes it a mere pastime to take his scalp. As a matter of economy, the dish of lentils, split peas and potatoes is all well enough. But the conquering men of the world are heavy feeders—gross feeders, if you please. The mighty men of feudal times ate their filch of bacon or a boar's head, and swallowed their flagons of wine, or some stronger potations. Their lives were gross, the animal overlaid the intellectual man. But what a magnificent animal after all! If he was not much of a thinker, he was the progenitor of men who have been the best thinkers in the world. It is impossible to conceive how a nation of vegetarians could have produced a Shakespeare, Milton and Bacon. The Germans are heavy feeders. They have immense capacity for what maritime men call stowage. They eat like a conqueror race, not mincingly, but with a mighty relish, and they swallow their beer with wonderful facility. These broad-chested men are not only heavy feeders, but they are subtle thinkers. As a dietary expedient, a dish of lentils may be well enough. One might go further and fare worse than when rice, brown bread, baked apples, and oatmeal were set before him. It is not wise to speak lightly of such a diet. The gout does not come in at that door, neither does applexy. When the time comes that the lion may lie down with the lamb, perhaps there will be no carnivorous men. There will be no need for fighting blood in an era of unicounty. Six days afterwards his dead body was found near the creek. He had been shot from behind, no less than five bullets having passed through and out of his body. All the valuables and even some of the clothing had been stripped from the body. No close to the murderer. The Cause of It. Citizen Zach. Montgomery has become an earnest advocate of the new Constitution. It was some time before he discovered all its beauties. But the last discovery settled the business for him. Now Montgomery is one of the most virulent antagonists of the present system of public education in this State. He is open, bold and unscrutable in attack. He recently published a book in which he had compiled pretty much every scurrility which had been put in circulation about the public school system during the last twenty-five years. He wanted to go to the Convention in order to fix up educational matters to suit his peculiar notions. But after all, the Convention made pretty large concessions to his demands. He has discovered that it made provision for the breaking up of the unity of the public schools in this State, by making as many fragmentary parts as there are counties, and that by further disintegration, it allows each county management to select different text books, so that there can be no uniformity. Then it strikes out all provision for high schools, where so many young men and women are being educated for the University and colleges of the State. In short the Constitution deals a heavy blow at the integrity of the free school system by abridging it and destroying all its unity. While the Constitution does not go quite as far in this respect as Montgomery would like, it goes far enough to be very consoling to this bitter opponent of the public schools. He will therefore strive mightily for its adoption. Stealing $20,000. Smith, the nightwatchman of the San Francisco Mint, has been arrested for stealing bullion from that institution. His peculations have been going on for two years during which time he is supposed to have taken $20,000. His mode of operation was simple. In one of the Mint rooms were situated the strong iron tanks in which is kept what is known as the "mash." In separating the gold from the silver in the bullion, a large amount of acid is used. The bullion is placed in an iron receptacle and covered with acid, which dissolves the silver leaving the gold in the form of black granules resembling coffee grounds. After the acid is drawn off it is necessary to thoroughly wash the gold and for this purpose a hole about an inch in diameter is left in the top of the iron receptacle, which is locked; in order that the water may be introduced through a hose. It was the habit of Smith during the night to remove the hose and insert through the hole a long piece of zinc, bent at one end so that a kind of scoop was formed. In this scoop he would draw up a small quantity of gold, which he would take home and melt down The Legalature form laws shall provide appointment in the several Supervisors, Sheriffs, District Attorneys and suchship and municipal offence may require, and duties and fix theirording of this section isvested, and by itsexculiatures have it in their county,township and the State and fix theiroffice.

WASHINGTON, April 25.—Considerable excitement prevails here to-night from the fact Congressman Lowe of Alabama has senta challenge to Senator Logan. In an interview some time ago Lowe asserted that atthe beginning of the war Logan sympathizedwith the Southern cause and helped to raisetroops for the Confederate service. Logan,in a published card denied the story andcharacterized it as a malicious and vindictivelie. Lowe sent several letters to Logan requesting him to retract the statementthat he was a liar. Logan paid no attentionto these letters. To-day Lowe sent a friend(Colonel Pelham of Alabama) to Logan'sfriend, bearing a note, requesting Logan todeny, over his signature, the statement thatLowe was a liar or to name a place outsideof the District where a letter would reach him.Logan refused to receive the letter or to holdany communication with Lowe. It is said that Lowe will post Logan to-sterrow as a liar and a coward. Logan said to-night that if Lowe wanted to test his courage he coulddo it without making so much parade aboutit.

Horse thriveupon it. The yield upon pine landshas been as high as eight tons per acre,and fivepounds of root will make one pound of starch,ifthe manufacture is properly conducted.The yield increases greatly on richer lands.The plant is of easy culture, and will succeedin most parts of this State.
