WEEKLY GAZETTE. SATURDAY APRIL 2, 1881 A NEW SENATORIAL QUALIFICATION. It may be that a new element will hereafter enter into the struggles for the position of U. S. Senator. The principal qualifications required of aspirants heretofore have been—1st, the possession of a "sack" with a large bunghole; 2nd, a fair share of mental endowments. The second qualification might be dispensed with in the future, and as a substitute, Senatorial aspirants should be required to have the physique of an athlete and the endurance of a poker-player. At the present writing, a contest is going on in the United States Senate which is nothing more or less than a physical conflict between the two opposing parties. Statesmanship cuts no figure in the fight for the control of the Senate organization, but the party which numbers among its adherents the toughest and most robust men will likely carry off the prize. The position of affairs is thus stated: A contest of physical endurance is threatened in the Senate over the offices. That body is now complete, and is composed of thirty-nine Democrats and thirty-seven Republicans. When Mahone acts with the Republicans the Senate is tied, and the Republicans carry their point by the casting vote of Vice-President Arthur. It is reported that both parties are preparing for the curious contest by the selection of relays of Senators. The party which manages to outsit the other secures the prize, whatever it may be. TO THE RAILROAD COMPANY. For more than six months past the merchants, farmers and producers generally of this part of Los Angeles county have found a profitable market in Arizona for their productions. They have, in fact, come to look upon the Arizona market as their chief reliance, and the shipment of certain kinds of produce to San Francisco has almost ceased. But the growing commercial relations between the Territory and this section has received a severe check through the recently inaugurated changes in the time of running the trains on the S. P. R. R. The railroad opened the Arizona market—for which we give it praise; it has now practically shut it off from a large number of producers, and our people consider that they have a just grievance against it. Every shipment from Anaheim to Arizona has to lay over in Los Angeles twenty-three hours before being forwarded. The Arizona train leaves Los Angeles at 7 o'clock in the morning—one hour and twenty minutes before the Anaheim train reaches the Los Angeles depot, so that all fast freight for Arizona has to remain in Los Angeles from 8:20 A.M. to 7 A.M. on the succeeding day. This delay is almost an embargo on the shipment of perishable produce from this end of the county, and a profitable market for our eggs, butter, poultry, fruit, etc., is practically destroyed. If it is in the power of the railroad company to remedy this matter they should strain a point to do so. If it is not in their power to change the existing schedule they ought at least enough to admit de facto President de janeiro a turkey gobbled is made (Conkling) haunt about. He is over the nominee Collector at Necessity demanding withdraw them lie in the right spinal column stick to his no manhood.

It is reported that both parties are preparing for the curious contest by the selection of relays of Senators. The party which manages to outsit the other secures the prize, whatever it may be. This sort of thing appears very contemptible, but it is not confined to this country. The "obstructionists," as the minority are termed, created a rumpus in the English parliament not long ago. Gladstone found a way to quash them, but his method of procedure would scarcely find favor in this country. In the English parliament the majority can stop debate and order a vote whenever it chooses—a proceeding entirely too arbitrary to ever come into vogue in our Congress. A couple of months ago, in commenting upon the administration of justice, we stated that there was one law for the rich and influential and another law for the poor and friendless. That is such a very patent fact that it is needless to cite proofs in support of the assertion; but the Kalloch case is such a notorious instance in point that we must briefly allude to it. The money and influence of the elder Kalloch postponed the murderer's trial from time to time until the crime became only a memory; his money and influence secured witnesses from the slums, and his money and influence secured a jury which gave ear to the testimony of those witnesses, and discarded the testimony of respectable men. Had Kalloch not had influential friends, he would have been hanged many months ago. Take the case of Clemetshaw, who is now serving out a sentence of fourteen years imprisonment because he swore that De Young fired the first shot. He was poor and friendless, and the jury promptly convicted him of perjury; but the jury in the murder trial, in acquitting Kalloch, said in effect that Clemetshaw was an innocent man and that his statement in regard to the shooting was true. If the Kallochs have the least sense of threatened in the Senate over the offices. That body is now complete, and is composed of thirty-nine Democrats and thirty-seven Republicans.

Take the case of Clemetshaw, who is now serving out a sentence of fourteen years imprisonment because he swore that De Young fired the first shot. He was poor and friendless, and the jury promptly convicted him of perjury; but the jury in the murder trial, in acquitting Kalloch, said in effect that Clemetshaw was an innocent man and that his statement in regard to the shooting was true. If the Kallochs have the least sense of gratitude, they should secure the pardon of their convict witness; but as any effort in that direction would reopen the six-shot question, and perhaps bring to light some facts hitherto suppressed, it is probable that Clemetshaw will languish in his dungeon for some time yet. Considerable ado has been made about the demonstration in favor of Kalloch when he left the court room after acquittal, and an endeavor has been made to show that the lunatics who took the horses from his carriage and dragged the vehicle was composed of "the most respectable people in the city." As Denis Kearney acted as Grand Marshal for the occasion, there must be some mistake as to who constituted the procession. If rumor is not wrong, the respectable people of San Francisco long ago ceased to mass themselves under the leadership of Kearney. The Railroad Commissioners are now in session in San Francisco preparing a schedule of freight rates. It is rumored that it is the purpose of the various railroad companies to test the authority and power of the Commission, and will apply to the Courts for an injunction to restrain them from interfering with the established rates. The prospect for a prolonged and expensive lawsuit is good, and the prospect for a speedy reduction of freights and fares is not particularly bright. It seems that the question of who is President of these United States was not settled at the November election. A contest is now going on in Washington to decide the point. Mr. Conkling of New York, while willing enough to admit that Garfield is President de facto, regards himself as President de jure, and gets as mad as a turkey gobbler whenever a nomination is made by Garfield which he (Conkling) has not been consulted about. He is making a great fuss over the nomination of Robertson for Collector at New York, and imperiously demands of Garfield that he withdraw the nomination. We believe in the rigidity of the President's spinal column, and expect to see him stick to his nomination and assert his manhood. TO SAN DIEGO AND BACK. The Improved "Orizaba"—A Complete Transformation—San Diego and National City—Various Notices. A Board of Naval Experts convened in Los Angeles on Saturday. It consisted of Mr. Spaulding of the Express, Mr. Gould of the Commercial and the retired mariner of the Gazette, with two or three Normal School Trustees as an Advisory Board. They took passage on the Orizaba for San Diego and made a minute inspection of the vessel. They found that her "innards" had been completely transformed, and that the transformation had resulted in making her by far the most comfortable coast-going steamer plying in these waters. Those who have in times past traveled on this vessel will remember the long, cheerless saloon for which nobody seemed to have any use; this saloon has had its dimensions curtailed to a reasonable size, and the space thus gained has been used in making the staterooms larger. The rooms might be termed "luxuriant" in comparison with the close, ill-smelling apartments characteristic of passenger vessels, and the berths are wide and comfortable. The rooms are tastefully carpeted and furnished, and he is indeed hard to please who can find aught to growl at in any landlady that the usual commission was passed to his credit. AN EXCURSION. The driver's ruse to get a free beer involved the going out of the way about three-quarter of a mile, and we arrived at the wharf just in time to take part in an excursion down the bay, to which all of San Diego had been invited. Fully three hundred persons availed themselves of the invitation, and the trip down the smooth, glassy bay was greatly enjoyed by every one on board; and the Captain, who planned the affair, was cordially thanked for the pleasure which he had afforded. FOG WHISTLE WANTED. The return trip to Wilmington was accomplished through a dense fog which prevented the anchorage being found until nearly noon. During these fogs, the master of the vessel is literally "at sea" in his reckoning, there being no log whistle to guids him. The coast trade is of sufficient importance to warrant the establishment of a fog whistle upon shore, and the proper authorities should be petitioned in the matter. RAILROAD EXTENSION. Coming up Wilmington harbor we saw two parties of surveyors at work locating the line for an extension of the railroad to deep water. This is a project fraught with deep import to this county. Lighterage is an oppressive and onerous tax on the people, and as soon as it can be done away with every business man and producer in the county will be benefited. We have some information concerning this project which we are not at liberty to divulge, but a short time will develop the plans of the company and they will be found to be of a magnitude such as few people dream of. PERSONAL. In concluding these hasty jottings of a pleasant trip, it is proper that we speak a word concerning the officers of the steamer, upon whom so much of the passengers comfort and safety depend. Captain Johnson of the Orizaba is a winning man, whose appearance commands confidence and gains respect. He has a frank, open, decisive way about him that everybody likes, and it is Beautifying the School Grounds. Edror GAZETTE:—E. W. Squires, D. J. Watson and M. T. Jenfer, the Trustees of Olive School District, are improving their school-house grounds. They have placed a substantial board fence around the lot, and inside of that a cypress hedge, together with rows of shade and ornamental trees, principally cypress, pepper and blue gum. During vacation they intend to finish the school house, surmounting it with a turret for a bell, to be procured at some future time. When the designed improvements are all carried out, Olive District will possess one of the nearest and most complete school houses in the county. The County Recorder of Merced county has been indicted for not attending to the duties of his office. On Monday Barney Snorden stabbed Edmond Harliby while the latter was putting him out of his (Harliby's) blacksmith shop on Battery Street, San Francisco Harliby died almost instantly. At Walla Walla on Sunday Dick Osborne stabbed and killed Alonzo Babb. He was arrested and put in jail, and the same evening he was taken from the prison and lynch-ed by masked men. A dispatch from Ferndale, Humboldt county, says: Lighthouse Inspector Captain McDougall, with two others, were drowned off the Mendocino light, while attempting to go ashore from the steamer Manzanita on Monday morning. The body of Captain McDougall was recovered, but the other have not been found. Some two weeks ago, Mr. and Mrs. Weighl of Paradise Valley were poisoned by eating wild parsnips. The whole family, including a hired man who worked on the ranch, were poisoned, and antidotes were administered which relieved them all except Mrs. Weighl, who died the next day. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. FOR SALE OR RENT This delay in shipment has been so. If it change the railroad matter they so. If it change the market entry, fruit, the railroad matter they so. If it change the market entry, fruit, the railroad matter they so. If it change the market entry, fruit, the railroad matter they so. The addition of a promenade deck is not the least of the improvements made. The advantage of a long clear space to walk in, removed from the odors which are inseparable from all vessels, cannot fail to be appreciated by travelers. In brief, the Orizaba may be called a new boat, and the improved boiler with which she is supplied has increased her speed very materially. The Board of Experts agreed upon all these points, but when it came to signing the report required by Section 830 of the Naval Code, Gould demurred. He thought that somebody ought to be censured for the way in which the port binnacles were stowed in the mizzen top. It didnt comport with his idea on the subject at all, he said, although he could, by straining a point, overlook the fact that the aft marlinspike was not attached to the jibboom, as it ought to have been. The Advisory Board overcame his scruples by intimating that the nigh fender had got afoul of the off stern sheet, which proved to be a satisfactory explanation and the report was sealed, signed and delivered. SAN DIEGO. The city was reached about 7 o'clock on Sunday morning, notwithstanding a dense fog which enveloped the bay and made our progress slow. Traversing a long wharf, we found ourselves at the foot of Fifth Street—the principal business street of the town. The first objects seen were a disgusting lot of drunken Indians of both sexes, all singing, quarreling and howling. From a daily reading of the San Diego papers we knew that the Indians were an offensive, undesirable element, but had no idea that the authorities permitted such open debauchery on the principal thoroughfare. We passed the spot a dozen times during the day, and each time found no diminution of the beastly crowd. The sound of the church bells a few blocks away mingled in the air with the howls of the drunken squaws; and while the good people were dropping their offerings into the mission box to send moral pocket handkerchiefs to the poor negroes in Borrioboola—Gha, they doubtless never gave a thought to the sodden wretches whose drunken howling they could not help but hear. It is a very disgraceful condition of affairs. There is a great deal of difference in the appearance of the town now and its appearance during our visit in 1876. Although no additional buildings appear to have been liberty to divulge, but a short time will develop the plans of the company and they will be found to be of a magnitude such as few people dream of. PERSONAL. In concluding these hasty jottings of a pleasant trip, it is proper that we speak a word concerning the officers of the steamer, upon whom so much of the passengers comfort and safety depend. Captain Johnson of the Orizaba is a winning man, whose appearance commands confidence and gains respect. He has a frank, open, decisive way about him that everybody likes, and it is likely that the popular commander and the handsome steamer will draw more than their share of the patronage of the traveling public. The purser, Mr. Byrnes, is extremely pleasant in his intercourse with passengers, and does what he can to make them comfortable. The mates can swear more energetically and good-naturedly than the majority of that ilk, and Bro. Gould is authority for the statement that the steward can charge two bits for a very weak quality of whisky and do it with better grace than any other extortionist he ever met in his whole career. WESTMINSTER ITEMS. We recently made a visit to the pork-packing establishment of Mr. Eccles, and were surprised to find to what proportions it has grown. One thousand head of hogs had already been slaughtered since October 1st, and fifty more have yet to be killed. He has paid out $5,000 already for hogs, not including those he has killed on shares nor those he raised. He informs us that he has been quite unable to fill even half his orders, although up over 50 tons of bacon. Next year he hopes to kill as many per day as he now kills per week. This season the business has given constant employment to four men, besides Mr. Eccles. We were also unaware until a few days ago that we had in our neighborhood a broom factory so large as that which Mr. McMillan is the proprietor of. He tells us he is able to turn out 25 dozen brooms per week, and has a ready sale for them at the stores in the neighborhood. A cypress fence has been set out around the Congregational church, which will add greatly to its appearance. Mr. A. Kell has left us for San Jacinto, and has turned his attention to stock raising and dairying. "Our boys" are unhappy this week, as horse trading is at a standstill, the "boss" being otherwise engaged. We congratulate him on the arrival of another daughter. Preparations are already in hand for the usual May-day celebration. Our Good Templars Lodge now numbers over 60 members. A concert is being arranged, we hear. Mr. Thomas Edwards and family leave us this week for Los Angeles, where they intend to reside. Some two weeks ago, Mr. Weighl of Paradise Valley were poisoned by eating wild parsnips. The whole family, including a hired man who worked on the ranch, were poisoned, and antidotes were administered which relieved them all except Mrs. Weighl, who died the next day. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.

The stockmen of this company know that these bucks rank with the finest in Southern California, and therefore any special mention their good polls would be superfluous.

Apply to EDWARD NEWHAM. At Wagner's ranch, 5 miles northeast of Anas The sound of the church bells a few blocks away mingled in the air with the howls of the drunken squaws; and while the good people were dropping their offerings into the mission box to send moral pocket handkerchiefs to the poor negroes in Borrioboola—Gha, they doubtless never gave a thought to the sodden wretches whose drunken howling they could not help but hear. It is a very disgraceful condition of affairs. There is a great deal of difference in the appearance of the town now and its appearance during our visit in 1876. Although no additional buildings appear to have been erected, nearly all the business houses are occupied, which was certainly not the case five years ago. It being Sunday, business was almost suspended, but from the number of people met, it was evident that on week days there must be considerable stir and activity. NATIONAL CITY. Four miles from San Diego is National City, the future terminus of the California Southern road. We were at Yuma City in 1868, and there was then only a saloon, restaurant and feed stable within the corporate limits. It has grown since then, as we understand that another saloon has been started. The census of 1880 will place National City ahead of Yuma City, by about twenty majority. But there is lots of room in which to build a city. We saw from a distance the railroad bed and the preparations for the construction of a wharf. No iron has been received yet and none is expected until July. AN INGENIUS DRIVER. Bro. Spalding and "We" went over to National City in a Carriage. The envious might call it an express wagon, but we prefer to designate it as a Carriage. On the return trip the driver asked us if we didn't want to go round by the Brewery road. He said he would like to show us every thing to be seen. Bro. S. concurred with the driver, notwithstanding our remonstrance. As we neared a cool-booking retreat, the driver said they made very good bear; also that they dispensed it at 15 cents a bottle; also that a bottle held three glasses. We were proof against his blandishments, but Bro. S. again overcame our scruples and the ingenious John got two glasses of beer (ourn and his'nand we knew from the expensive wine which passed between him and the Testimony and has turned his attention to stock raising and dairying. "Our boys" are unhappy this week, as horse trading is at a standstill, the "boss" being otherwise engaged. We congratulate him on the arrival of another daughter. Preparations are already in hand for the usual May-day celebration. Our Good Templars Lodge now numbers over 60 members. A concert is being arranged, we hear. Mr. Thomas Edwards and family leave us this week for Los Angeles, where they intend to reside. Mr. J. F. Marquis is again a father—this time a fine boy. Mr. Neal, we regret to hear, is no better. P. THE R. B. Co's Coal Mine. MUSTANG BEE RANCH, March 29th, 1881. EDITOR GAZETTE: "Santa Ana Coal Mine" is the new name given by the railroad company to what has heretofore been known as the Santa Clara Coal Mine. A marked change in and about this mine has taken place since the new hands have taken hold of it—new improvements and fresh activity on every side. The wooden tramways have given way to iron rails, switches and turntables. Already four hundred and fifty feet of iron track has been laid. Of buildings put up there is one blacksmith shop, 18 by 20 feet, one lodging house, to accommodate thirty men; and one store, put up by private enterprise. There are sixteen men employed in and about the mine. Pursuing the main object of thoroughly opening up the mine, the force of men, under the direction of an energetic superintendent, are at present engaged driving the "headings" and "airways," and constructing an underground room designed for engine and hoisting works. Heavy timbers, 8 by 12 inches thick, are now lying on the ground, to be used in the subterranean engine house. The excellent quality of coal from this mine is well known. Yours, BRAINARD SMITH. Mr. Walter Mallard, lately of the Los Angeles postoffice, has gone to Mare Island, where he will take a position in the navy yard. GOODMAN & RIMPAU, DRY GOODS PALACE, Center Street, ANAHEIM.
