FISH CARRIAGE TRIMMING ANI— PAINTING. McDERMOTT'S BUILDING, Anaheim, Cal. NOT ALL THAT PANCY PAINTED IT. We would like to receive from some prominent supporter of the present Constitution an article reciting what benefits have accrued to this State by the adoption of that instrument. Or we would like some newspaper which fought for the adoption of the Constitution—the Express for instance—to tell us how it is that all the evils from which the public suffered prior to May, 1879, have rather been aggravated than decreased. Since the present Constitution has been in force we have failed to see or hear one word of commendation of the workings of that instrument. The truth is that its workings have been so at variance with the expectations of its supporters that they have not the heart to utter the feeblest croak in the defense of their handling. The San Francisco Bulletin, in discussing the new charter for that city, cites some of the indisputable changes which have been wrought by the new organic law. It says: The lessened capital of several of the banks establishes the soundness of one of the most serious objections urged against the new Constitution. The reduced dividends of the savings banks exhibit its operation in another direction. A very considerable part of it has been swept out of existence by the Courts in consequence of its lack of harmony with the fundamental law of the nation. The attempt made in it to cripple the functions of the Grand Jury has left criminal law for the highest offenses in a wrenched and ineffective condition. No street improvements are in progress anywhere, and building, as a consequence, has been checked. The double taxation imposed has been got over by a system of evasion that is not likely to or of paying up his indebtedness to A—something which he finds it impossible to do. It is true that the Constitution renders void any obligation on the part of the mortgage to pay the taxes on the mortgage, but there is no law compelling any man to loan his money at a rate of interest which to him appears to be insufficient. Not is the clause in the Constitution prohibiting special legislation an unmixed blessing. In the hands of an ignorant or dishonest body of law-makers the power to pass special laws may be greatly abused, but we question whether greater evils ever arose from the abuse of that power as will arise from the inability of the Legislature to pass special laws to suit the requirements of special localities. California is too big a State and is too diverse in climate, soil and general interests to be governed by general laws. There is much legislation needed for this part of the State which we will have to forego under the new order of things. But if this restriction will hasten the fruition of our hopes for the new State of Southern California, it will have served a good purpose. If the present Constitution has accomplished anything for the advancement of the interests of the State or of the people, we have failed to see any evidence of it. Agricultural and Horticultural Items. Mr. Geo. Hull of Anaheim Landing is a farmer as well as a mariner, and can plow the land as well as plow the deep. He raised a large crop of wheat and barley this year. Political Points. The Gazette has not space enough at its disposal to report political speeches in extension, but there are occasions when the rule of exclusion might well be waived to snatch from obscurity and perpetuate brief oratorical gems—such for instance as those which emanated from the Hon. A. W. Potts and the Hon. A. B. Moffitt at the Democratic meeting on Monday evening. Mr. Potts was introduced by the Chairman as a young man of soaring eloquence and profound statesmanship. Referring to this enlogy, Mr. Potts told the audience that as they were fully convinced of his oratorical ability there was no use of him speaking more than an hour and a half to establish his claim to the possession of that talent. There was still another reason why he would not speak longer than that. His friend Moffitt—whose name was held at Elizabeth Lake as the synonym of all that was eloquent, gifted and patriotic—had come to him (Potts) and begged him with tears in his eyes not to speak too long, as he wanted to address the people of Anaheim on this momentous occasion. With a graceful bow Mr. Potts subsided into a chair amid the frantic applause which an audience relieved of a great apprehension is wont to bestow. Mr. Moffitt on taking the platform said that when he found that afternoon that Potts was on the same train with him, his first impulse was to throw himself from the rear car, but that upon reflection he decided to grin and bear it. He denounced the pretended conversation with Mr. Potts as purely imaginary and a wicked one. The interruption tured it is to each in a very and frightening action for Co-operative village talking they wove Democracy movable equally will give votes.

The reduced dividends of the savings banks exhibit its operation in another direction. A very considerable part of it has been swept out of existence by the Courts in consequence of its lack of harmony with the fundamental law of the nation. The attempt made in it to cripple the functions of the Grand Jury has left criminal law for the highest offenses in a wrenched and ineffective condition. No street improvements are in progress anywhere, and building, as a consequence, has been checked. The double taxation imposed has been got over by a system of evasion that is not likely to stand a judicial test. The expenses of the State Government will be increased rather than diminished under it. Of this fact the tax-payers will in a few days be made sensible. Nor can it be said that we have by any means got to the end. The complications which are still ahead are believed to be more serious. It is the universal opinion that this new Constitution has retarded the growth and progress of the State. The above indictment is loosely drawn and does not wholly cover the case. It would require an octavo volume to do that. But we may be permitted to refer to a few instances wherein the new Constitution has lamentably failed to do what it was claimed it would accomplish, and thus intensify and fix the belief which is slowly dawning in the minds of the people of this commonwealth—that those who urged the rejection of the new law were not such great villains and ignoramuses as they were said to be during the bitter canvass which preceded the election of May, 1879. No one thing drew more support to the new Constitution in this part of the State than the clauses creating the Railroad Commission and "restricting" the railroad companies. It was said that the result of their adoption would be the lowering of rates and the end of many abuses which were undeniably perpetrated by the railroad managers. Have these results been accomplished? On the contrary, rates have been doubled and trebled during the past fifteen months; not one of the faults found in the railroad management have been corrected, and we are apparently as far from any adjustment of the trouble as we ever were. Not only that, but three highly ornamental Commissioners are drawing each $4000 a year from the public treasury, and thousands of dollars besides for the support of their attaches. How are they earning their money? One is on his sheep ranch in the northern part of the State looking after his Fall clip; another is practising his profession in the police Courts of San Francisco, and the third is in Oregon in pursuance of an appointment by President Hayes as Indian Commissioner. "Sing, hey the fine Commission that it is." Much was said during the canvass as to the rampant corruption of the lobby during the Legislative sessions, and of the clauses in the Constitution which would effectually put a stop to the demoralizing practice. But the lobby was never more conspicuously rampant and successful than during the sitting of the last Legislature. The Constitution had no terrors for the members of the third our hopes for the new State of Southern California, it will have served a good purpose. If the present Constitution has accomplished anything for the advancement of the interests of the State or of the people, we have failed to see any evidence of it. Agricultural and Horticultural Items. Mr. Geo. Hull of Anaheim Landing is a farmer as well as a mariner, and can plow the land as well as plow the deep. He raised a large crop of wheat and barley this year. From one particular 25 acres of early sown barley the average yield was 32 sacks to the acre, although ten acres of it gave 40 sacks to the acre. In the course of a brief conversation with Mr. Strong of Westminster, we learned that he and his neighbors have met with great success in growing prunes. Two year old trees are growing a good crop, and there is every reason to believe that this particular fruit will bring in a steady and increasing yearly revenue. Prof. Rivers of the State University has made the important discovery that the cask-boring insect (Sinoxylon declive) can be kept out of wine casks by soaking the outside of the cask with a strong solution of alum, and after it has dried in, putting on a coat of linseed oil, which dries and keeps the alum in place. The Riverside Press says that one of the worst pests which afflict Riverside orchards is the white ant. It operates almost exclusively on soil which was plowed up last winter for the first time. The ants first establish themselves in the root of the tree two or three inches below the surface of the ground; they then work up the tree, covering the body with a coating of mud. This coating is very thin and is raised from the surface of the bark sufficiently to allow the ants to work on the tree under the mud covering unobserved. Sometimes in a single night a strong colony of ants will erect their mud house around a tree, completely covering the trunk for a distance of a foot above the ground. In a few days' time the bark of the tree under this mud covering has been badly eaten off, the wood has been punctured thousands of times, the sap has been poisoned, or its flow interfered with in such a manner that gum begins to ooze out, and in a few days more the tree is on the sick list and is liable to die. Soap-suds, mixed with lye and cayenne pepper, have a discouraging effect on the ants. "The nude in art" has achieved a victory in San Francisco. In The Art Gallery at the Mechanics' Fair is a picture entitled "Awakening,"the subject being a nude woman awakening after a debauch. The management was strongly criticised for permitting such a picture to be exhibited, and in deference to public sentiment a large cloth was thrown over it. This served to inflame the curiosity of visitors, as sundry rents in our hopes for the new State of Southern California, it will have served a good purpose. If the present Constitution has accomplished anything for the advancement of the interests of the State or of the people, we have failed to see any evidence of it.

Sepulveda, whose candidature for County Andorist will result in his being placed in the office by as decisive a vote as even Wilse Potts will get, has been in this vicinity during the week. If he is seeking votes it is only a waste of time to stay here, as she votes are already his; if he is seeking recreation and social companionship he shows good sense and taste in coming to Anaheim to seek it. Col. Godfrey,the Greenback candidate for Congressman, addressed a fair-sized meeting at Kroeger's Hall on Saturday evening. At same place on Monday evening Wallace Leach and Hon. R.F.Del Valle delivered very eloquent addresses to a large and appreciative audience. Mr. George E.Gard of Los Angeles will take the stump shortly and lift up his voice in favor of the Republican party. He is an energetic, influential campaigner and hasthe gift of talking downright good sense. We are told that Stephen M. White Esq.is booked for a speech at Anaheim in near future.

But the lobby was never more conspicuously rampant and successful than during the sitting of the last Legislature. The Constitution had no terrors for the members of the third house. They plied their nefarious vocation openly. The most prominent example of their power was in the passage of the Debris Bill, under which we of Anaheim, in common with our fellow citizens all over the State, are taxed to reclaim the farms on the Sacramento river. It was openly charged, and never denied, that the scheme was carried through by putting money where it would do the most good. One of the Senators who voted for the Debris Bill was that rampant New Constitution man—Senator West of Los Angeles. If we reject the argument advanced by some extremists—that it is not double taxation where the same property is taxed twice but to different individuals—there is double taxation in the revenue laws. The Assessor goes to A's farm and assesses a mowing machine which A has bought on credit from a merchant. A is allowed no deduction for what he owes on the machine—his unsecured debts are only deducted from his unsecured credits. The Assessor then goes to the merchant from whom A purchased the machine and assesses him for the amount which A owes him. A pays taxes on the machine, valued say at $100, and the merchant pays taxes on the $100 which A owes on the machine. Is not that double taxation? And yet this is but a sample of other instances which could be cited. In some instances the mortgage tax relieves the opressed creditor, but in others instances it does the reverse. Here is one case of which we know personally, and we have heard of many similar ones. A loaned A sum of money, at a low rate of interest, taking a mortgage on B's farm. Now B has the alternative of paying an increased rate of interest, sufficient to cover the taxation. "The nude in art" has achieved a victory in San Francisco. In the Art Gallery at the Mechanics' Fair is a picture entitled "Awakening," the subject being a nude woman awakening after a debauch. The management was strongly criticised for permitting such a picture to be exhibited, and in deference to public sentiment a large cloth was thrown over it. This served to inflame the curiosity of visitors, as sundry rents in the cloth proved. It was finally agreed to take a vote upon the question whether the picture should remain or be taken away. On Saturday afternoon and evening the visitors to the Pavilion were requested to announce their desires by casting a ballot, and the result was that the "not to move" ballots were overwhelmingly in the majority. Sufferers from neuralgia may find relief by using some of the following remedies, which were sent to a New York paper by correspondents in answer to a request for a cure for that disease: I have long used for neuralgia and can recommend the fluid extract of yellow jasmine, five to ten drop doses, in a little water. The relief is almost instantaneous. Take three drachms of hydrate of potassium, and mix with one pint of Holland gin. Dose—a dessert spoonful three times a day when severely attacked, or a spoonful if needed. Stop taking when the pain ceases. A physician has found upon investigation that much neuralgia of the face arose from malposition of the eyes, by which the nerves of the eyes were strained and neuralgia produced and communicated to other sympathetic nerves. His cure for the disease, said to be uniformly successful, was simply a pair of glasses with their lenses adjusted to the badly-placed eyes. San Francisco, Sept. 1st.—On account of the doubt arising respecting the eligibility of Claus Spreckels to be a Presidential Elector, because of his having received a decoration of honor from the King of the Sandwich Islands, Spreckels has withdrawn from the candidacy. The vacancy has not yet been filled. Frank Monaghan, whithom conductor of the Anaheim branch railroad, has been promoted to a similar position on the San Francisco train. We are told that Stephen M. White Esq. is booked for a speech at Anaheim in the near future. When he does come, we advise the critical "Ceres," whose communication is given elsewhere, to go and listen, as Mr. White combines in his addresses all the graces of oratory and good, sound argument. Gen. James A. Garfield is said to be an eloquent speaker and Republicans allege that he is a highly respectable man. What does he mean, then, by uttering such sentiments as this at a meeting in Cleveland: "They [the soldiers] went out to maintain this "Union and make it immoral." So the sentence was printed in a staunch Republican paper; but we venture to say that some Democratic printer, with malice aforethought, left out a "t," and the word which should have been immortal became by this treatment immoral. The organ-in-chief of Col. Godfrey says of that gentleman: "Wherever he speaks he convinces the multitude, and as he has ample time to address meetings in every important precinct in the district, his chance of election is better by far than that of either of his competitors." The doughy Colonel himself is not so sanguine. He admits—off the stamp—that he has no chance to win, but as he expresses it, "they have kicked me out of the Democratic party and now I am going to make it as hot for them as I can." In pursuance of which high and noble resolve, he is running on the Greenback ticket for Congress. The Prohibitionists' Convention, held in Los Angeles on Saturday, selected the following: For Assemblymen, Isaac Kinley and J.C. Rushing; for Sheriff, John Dolland; for County Clerk, D.M. Graham; for Recorder, C.C. Lamb; for Auditor, J.W. Potts; for District Attorney, J.G. Howard; for Treasurer, Edward Evey; for Tax Collector, Rev. Mr. Reese; for Surveyor, Geo.Wright. On the question of Congressional nominee, it was stated as probable that an independent temperance candidate will soon be put into the field. Sacramento, Sept. 1st.—The Working-men's Convention of the Second district nominated J.R. Glassecki, of Oakland, for Congress, and appointed a Committee to act with the Democrats in conducting the campaign. GAZETTE. R 4, 1880. NO. 47 Correspondence Garden Grove Items. The quietness of our lives here is seldom interrupted and items have to be manufactured. Every itemizer knows how difficult it is to find something new to introduce in each issue of the paper. Some suppose it is a very easy matter to write something new and fresh each week. We only wish that some one of them would undertake to do so for a few weeks. Politics are very quiet here. Few candidates have been around yet, but we suppose times will be liveller in this respect as soon as the Supervisors, Justices and Constables are nominated. And it is possible that when election day comes, partisans will be trading off candidates for President to secure a vote for Constable, as was done in a neighboring village four years ago. The Democrats are talking of forming a club here. We hope they will form a strong, active club, as such action may induce the Republicans to make a move. This precinct has always been a Democratic stronghold, but since the removal of the squatters the vote will be equally divided, and Westminster Township will give a Republican majority of over fifty votes. Only one crop of Anaheim wheat has been thrashed. The product was very good. When the whole harvest has been sacked we will try and give a complete statement of the number of pounds sowed, number of acres and yield per acre. Farmers are already making arrangements to rent land for wheat. Some are going to Wilmington, some to the Alamitos, and some to the mea land south of Westminster. After this year, we anticipate that no more money will be sent out of this county to pay for flour. What is Space? The Rev. R. L. Gear, in a communication to the Cincinnati Baptist Review, said were the above conundrum in the following lucid manner. He so clearly expresses our own ideas on the subject that we cordially endorse what he says: "Space is a real, objective, immaterial, extended, continuous, infinite, immutable, eternal, and absolute whole of capacity to receive extended substance, existing in trine extension of infinite length, infinite breadth, and infinite depth, which is ideally divisible in each dimension, into finite wholes of locality, all of possible forms and sizes, possessing the relations of similarity, difference, ratio, direction, distance, contiguity, and conjunctibility; and comprising units of trine extension, surfaces, lines, and points, each of which is infinitely divisible; trine extension into surfaces, surface into lines, lines into points, and points into infinitesimal fractions of position, which compose the infinitude of space, in a number which is formed by the involution of relatively infinite number to the seventh power."

Democratic stronghold, but since the removal of the squatters the vote will be equally divided, and Westminster Township will give a Republican majority of over fifty votes. Only one crop of Anaheim wheat has been thrashed. The product was very good. When the whole harvest has been sucked we will try and give a complete statement of the number of pounds sowed, number of acres and yield per acre. Farmers are already making arrangements to rent land for wheat. Some are going to Wilmington, some to the Alamitos, and some to the mesa land south of Westminster. After this year, we anticipate that no more money will be sent out of this county to pay for flour. Great interest is felt in fruit raising, particularly apricot trees. A large number has been secured for planting in this place—enough to make it necessary to have a canery here when they come into bearing. If every farmer in this vicinity would plant only two acres to fruit trees, we would see two new industries here within three years—a cannery and a fruit dryer. Our school has been opened three weeks, but owing to the delay in getting the new books is only now fairly organized. Under the efficient labors of the present teacher, Mrs. A. S. Averill, it is in a very prosperous condition. All the pupils seem anxious to come all the time. The school is now more than full, and the school trustees have decided to call a school meeting for the purpose of deciding whether to vote a tax to build an addition to the school house or not. As the present room will only seat forty-six pupils and as there are eighty-four consuls children in the district, it seems absolutely necessary to make some provision for the education of those who are not now enrolled on the school register. The camp meeting at this place adjourned on the 30th ult., after a session of seventeen days. The attendance was very large and great interest was felt in the proceedings. Over seventy persons were converted. The Garden Grove M. E. church is paid for and dedicated. The wife of Milton G. Teel presented him with a son on August 30th. They now have four boys and four girls, which makes quite an interesting family. R. P. Johnson and wife are still in the mountains. Mr. J's health is improving since his return from the East. The ladies of the Sunday school intend holding a sociable about the 17th inst. to raise means for the school. A Criticism of Political Speakers. EDITOR GAZETTE:—Can you account for it in any possible way, that the gentlemen who invite us to come and hear them discuss the political issues of the day so egregiously miss their mark? Aspiring to office and influence among us, it is fair to expect that they are ripe on all the grave questions that touch the heart of patriotism and affect the destinies of Nations, Finance, free trade, immigration, protection at the ballot box, and such topics ask for the fullest utterance of the wisdom that detects principles, estimates tendencies, sees the future in the present, and relies on the certain issue of all truth. And if for these we are put off with sickly laudations of party, waspish thrusts at opponents, and quipse and hits of stumpory, I say thanks gentleman, and I wish you well—at home. Surely this great Nation is not so poor in great men that we must trust our grand commonwealth to hands that cannot take the helm and ensure the safety of our craft. And so let us watch and wait until another Washington shall arrive and guide us to the haven of peace and prosperity. No matter in what quarter of the political arena he appears only let us hail San Francisco Market. Corrected weekly by Spear, Meade & Co., No. 316 and 318 Washington St. S. F.

A Fragrant Breath and Pearty Teeth Are easily obtained by cleansing your teeth daily with that justly popular dentifrice, SOZODONT. Composed of rare antiseptic herbs, it imparts whiteness to the teeth, a delicious aroma to the breath, and preserves intact from youth to old age, the teeth. Acidity of the stomach will destroy the strongest teeth unless its effects are counteracted with SOZODONT, and this pure toothwash protects the dental surfaces by removing every impurity that adheres to them. Ask your druggist for SOZODONT. Destrable Information. In the general diffusion of useful knowledge, a correct and comprehensive Map of all parts of the World is an indispensable adjunct. Such a map has been published by A. L. Banrolt & Co., under the title of "The Double United States and World Map," being a beautiful, correct, full and complete map, with one side devoted to the United States, with its counties, towns, stations and railroads from the Atlantic to the Pacific fully delineated, and upon the reverse side the various countries and cities of the world. There is also given statistics and a variety of other useful general information. It is sold only through the agents of the Subscription Department of the house. The Supreme Court of the State of New York has decided that J. C. Ayer & Co., of Lowell, have the sole right to use the words Cherry Pectoral for a medicine, and has issued an injunction against F. V. Rushton, of New York City, for selling Rushton's Cherry Pectoral or Cherry Pectoral Lossenges or any other use of the name to deceive the public. This decision of the high Court includes all dealers who sell any similar articles.-Port Jefferson (L. J.) Leader. Do you Believe it?

EDITOR GAZETTE:—I suppose you would like to be informed occasionally how matters political are surging over here, and I will endeavor to send you a screed once in a while. This is a Republican precinct and will give the Garfield and Arthur electors a handsome majority. But the Republicans are lukewarm when it comes to the minor offices. They have not yet come to be enthusiased over Pacheco; they don't want to vote for a Democrat like Leach, and still less do they want to support Godfrey, who combines all the heroes of the Greenbackers with all the fallacies of the Democracy. They are in a dilemma, but I suppose they will have to "go for" Pacheco, perforce. Coming down to local candidates, I find the opinion prevailing generally that the Democracy have put by far the best ticket in the field, and it will get a strong support. Lamb, for Recorder, is especially unpopular here, and thereby hangs a tale which I will regale your readers with some day. Johnston, his opponent, will certainly profit greatly by Lamb's unpopularity. Everybody is for Dick Barham—Republican, Greenbacker, Democrata, Workingmen and Prohibitionists. When the vote comes to be counted, it will show that nobody ever received such a unanimous support as Sheriff Barham.
