STATE DIVISION. The following is a copy of the Act of State Division passed by the Legislature April 18, 1859: AN ACT GRANTING THE CONSENT OF THE LEGISLATURE TO THE FORMATION OF A DIFFERENT GOVERNMENT FOR THE SOUTHERN COUNTRIES OF THIS STATE. (Approved April 18, 1859) The People of the State of California, represented in Senate and Assembly, do enact as follows: SECTION 1. That the consent of the Legislature of this State is hereby given to the effect that all of that part or portion of the present territory of this State lying south of a line drawn eastward from the west boundary of the State, along the sixth standard parallel south of the Mount Diablo meridian, east to the summit of the coast range; thence southerly, following said summit to the seventh standard parallel; thence due east on said standard parallel to its intersection with the northwest boundary of Los Angeles county; thence northeast along said boundary to the eastern boundary of the State, including the counties of San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, San Diego, San Bernardino, and a part of Buena Vista, be segregated from the remaining portion of the State, for the purpose of the formation by Congress, with the concurrent action of said portion—the consent for the segregation of GRAPES AND THEIR VALUE. The wholesale market for California wines and brandies may be said to be more or less demoralized. No offer that would be acceptable to the producer for the finer sorts of either, can be obtained from our large dealers. Our leading firms declare themselves largely overstocked. The crop of last year was not large compared with the possibilities of the wine trade, but comparatively a large proportion of it is yet in producers' hands, and cannot be sold in this market. The reason of this somewhat unlooked-for condition of affairs is by no means an overproduction, but the result of the high prices—we may say extravagant prices—that were paid last year, and seem again to be expected, for grapes. The wine cost many of our vintners more than they can realize for it. In our own home markets there is danger of California wine being shut out by the importation of the foreign article, though the former has a protection of 40 cents a gallon. Giving $25 a ton for ordinary grapes, and $35 to $40 for the better foreign kinds, must, in the end, bankrupt the wine-maker and retard the progress of viticulture in this State. Port wine made from Mission grapes at $25 a ton will cost the vintner 65 cents a gallon when newly made; add to this 7½ cents a gallon for cooperage, and 17½ cents for freight by rail to St. Louis or Chicago, and we have 90 cents a gallon first cost, without profit to producer, or broker, or A Candidate for Congress. At a Workingmen's Convention in San Francisco last week, Mayor Kalloch said: I will tell you why I withdrew, this time, from the municipal fight. The campaign was a local one. I concluded that it would cost me more money and trouble than I could well afford. But I do desire to run for office next year, if I live that long. I want to run on a State ticket, as a candidate at large. I nominate myself to-night, and I want you to ratify the nomination. I want the entire State to know why I desire to run. I want to run on general principles. My sphere has been limited while Mayor. I have been handicapped in the Board of Health and in the Board of Supervisors. I guess you know that. I have an idea that, if I could get a place on the floor of Congress next year, I could make the country hear what I have to say in the interest of California. I do not propose to ask anybody to nominate me except the Workingmen's Party. I am not going to ask for any nomination outside of the Workingmen's Party. I will take my chances on that. I want the party to stand by me next year. I am now going to give you my views, and I want you to put them in soak for awhile. I may be mistaken—you may all be trying to make something—but I think I am not. I believe there are 10,000 honest voters in this city, small householders, who stood by the W. P. C. two years ago, but never ap- east to the summit of the coast range; thence southerly, following said summit to the seventh standard parallel; thence due east on said standard parallel to its intersection with the northwest boundary of Los Angeles county; thence northeast along said boundary to the eastern boundary of the State, including the counties of San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, San Diego, San Bernardino, and a part of Buena Vista, be segregated from the remaining portion of the State, for the purpose of the formation by Congress, with the concurrent action of said portion—the consent for the segregation of which is hereby granted—of a Territorial or other Government, under the name of "The Territory of Colorado" or such other name as may be deemed meet and proper. SEC. 2. The Governor shall, in his proclamation for the next general election, direct the voters of the counties of San Diego, San Bernardino, Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, and a part of Buena Vista, to wit: such part as shall include all of the precincts south of the sixth standard parallel south of Mount Diablo meridian, at such general election to vote "For a Territory," or "Against a Territory;" and in case two-thirds of the whole number of voters voting thereon shall vote for a change of government, the consent hereby given shall be deemed consummated. SEC. 3. The respective County Clerks of the counties herein named shall make out a statement of the result of such vote, and transmit the same to the Secretary of State in the same manner as by law they are required to do concerning the election of State and County officers; and it is hereby made the duty of the Secretary of State, upon the receipt by him of the election returns of the said counties and precincts, to make out a correct statement of the whole number of votes cast, both for and against the change of government; and in case two-thirds, or more, of the votes relating to the change of government be found to be in favor of such change of government, he shall certify to the correctness of such statement, and transmit certified copies of the same, with copies of this Act annexed, to the Governor of the State, whose duty it shall be to cause a copy, with a copy of this Act annexed, to be sent to the President of the United States, and to each of our Senators and Representatives in Congress. SEC. 4. The connection now existing between this State and the said counties, and parts of counties—to the segregation of which the Legislature hereby consents, upon condition that two-thirds of the voters residing therein and voting thereon, shall vote for such change in the next ensuing general election—shall continue, to all intents and purposes, until the organization and establishment of a separate government therefor, under a law of Congress to that effect, no longer. SEC. 5. Should Congress so act on the consent hereby given as to organize a separate government for the southern counties, as herein specified, the Legislature of the tation of the foreign article, though the former has a protection of 40 cents a gallon. Giving $25 a ton for ordinary grapes, and $35 to $40 for the better foreign kinds, must, in the end, bankrupt the wine-maker and retard the progress of viticulture in this State. Port wine made from Mission grapes at $25 a ton will cost the vintner 65 cents a gallon when newly made; add to this 71 cents a gallon for cooperage, and 171 cents for freight by rail to St. Louis or Chicago, and we have 90 cents a gallon first cost, without profit to producer, or broker, or shipper. At 90 cents imported port, or what passes for port, can be had in these cities. It is true, as we claim, that the California wine is superior, being the pure juice of the grape, but the public generally are not expert at judging wines, especially as the doctored article from abroad is more palatable than our California production is when new. Our wine requires several years to mature and bring out its best properties; but who can afford to mature it when the first cost is so high? In the meantime the customs stamps on the foreign article are taken (or rather mistaken) for an indisputable evidence of the superiority of the latter. So much for prejudice and the snobbish tendency to value most what comes from a distance. If viticulture is to prosper on this coast and wine-making is to be fairly profitable to those who engage in it, grapes should be sold by the growers at a fair profit and not more. A fair profit on both sides could be had if grapes sold at $20 for ordinary and $25 for the finer kinda. Grape straws must not expect to realize three hundred per cent per annum, as such advertisements as a land-seller named Kearny talked of in last Sunday's Call. To obtain a firm hold on the wine trade of the United States, without even thinking of going across the Atlantic for customers, we must sell our wine at reasonable prices. Reasonable prices will invite consumption and be remunerative to all concerned. When we have to go to Europe for customers our grape growers will have to content themselves with $10 to $15 a ton for their product, according to quality. These remarks may be unpalatable to some of our best friends, but are dictated by an earnest and conscientious desire to see viticulture in all its branches grow and prosper.—S. F. Merchant. The Relative Value of Wine and Grapes. Editor S. F. Merchant: In your letter you speak of the price of grapes; I agree with you. A warning article on this subject is much needed, for the price asked is absurdly high, and is not justified by the price obtained for wine. How any one can give $30 per ton, and then sell wine for 25 cents a gallon, unless they have a pumphandle near, is a mystery to me. If, when you ship your wine, you have 130 gallons clear wine to the ton, you are doing well. (This is the St. Helena estimate, and a high hear what I have to say in the interest of California. I do not propose to ask anybody to nominate me except the Workingmen's Party. I am not going to ask for any nomination outside of the Workingmen's Party. I will take my chances on that. I want the party to stand by me next year. I am now going to give you my views, and I want you to put them in soak for awhile. I may be mistaken—you may all be trying to make something—but I think I am not. I believe there are 10,000 honest voters in this city, small householders, who stood by the W. P. C. two years ago, but never appeared at our meetings. I believe they have an honest representation in this Convention. I may be giving myself away-to-night, but I can't help it now. Political tricksters may pretend to control these votes, but I don't think they can deliver the goods. Now, then, a word of advice. I would not have told you what I have, unless I knew I was speaking to men who understood and would assist me, and receive it in a natural and honest way, and treasure it up in your hearts until next year. I would advise you to adjourn all nominations until the other Conventions get through. I would have you wait and act slowly and deliberately. Somebody may say I am in the interest of somebody, but I am not. I am no man's man. I am here for no man. Just wait until they are all done before you complete your w.r.k. Prepare a platform that you can stand on, no matter whether you elect a man or not, on a basis of a Workingmen's Party. When you get through, appoint a Committee on Reorganization. It is in the power of the Workingmen's Party to elect Congressmen and the Governor, and municipal officers next year, and join the grand army of anti-monopolists that will yet control the country. You can rule this city and State next year, and the United States the year after. I did not intend to say what I have for six months to come, but I feel that I am talking to an honest convention of Workingmen. You will hear from me again, next Spring, as sure as I am born. The French Vintage. A year ago all France was in alarm over the ravages of the phylloxera, and despent prophets predicted that the vineyards which they declared had already suffered irreparable injury would be totally ruined in the near future. All efforts to stay the pest seemed useless; prizes were offered in vain for some cure and preventive, hardy American vines were imported upon which to graft French stock, and still the ravages went on. In view of this discouraging outlook, it is interesting to read in Galignani that this year's vintage promises to be one of the best in fifteen years both in France and Italy, and fully up to the average in Spain. Superstitious persons, too, are deriving much satisfaction from the ancient belief that a comet always brings with it good wine, and thus the vineyardists are parts of counties — to the segregation of which the Legislature hereby consents, upon condition that two-thirds of the voters residing therein and voting thereon, shall vote for such change in the next ensuing general election—shall continue, to all intents and purposes, until the organization and establishment of a separate government therefor, under a law of Congress to that effect, and no longer. Sec. 5. Should Congress so act on the consent hereby given as to organize a separate government for the southern counties, as herein specified, the Legislature of the State of California, to be held next after such action, shall appoint two Commissioners; and the first Territory Assembly, or Legislature of the new Government, as the case may be, shall, during the first session, appoint two other Commissioners, all of whom shall meet at the capital of California proper, at such time as the Governor of the last named State shall signify to them, which said Commissioners shall constitute a Board who shall settle and adjust the property and financial affairs between the State of California and the new Government, and who shall, in the apportionment of the same, take as a basis the respective number of votes polled at the general election of one thousand eight hundred and fifty-eight in the counties and precincts embraced in the two respective Governments; and in case the four Commissioners thus to be appointed fail to agree, they shall nominate and appoint a fifth, and a majority of such five Commissioners shall determine the amount of the indebtedness of the new Government to the State of California, on account of the State debt at the time of her final segregation; and the expense of the said Commission shall be equivalent to that of the members of the State Legislature for a like or corresponding time, and be borne equally by the said State and Territorial, or other Government. The following is from a Clipper advertisement: "Wanted — A good understander; one that can catch somersaults from three high down and hold for three high spotter." That means a circus performer, to be one of three tumblers, and hold the two others in feats of posturing and somersaulting. The newest reproach cast upon Cincinnati by Chicago is that the Ohio city uses half its water supply in making beer and the other half in scalding the bristles off hega. Grapes. Editor S. F. Merchant: In your letter you speak of the price of grapes; I agree with you. A warning article on this subject is much needed, for the price asked is absurdly high, and is not justified by the price obtained for wine. How any one can give $30 per ton, and then sell wine for 25 cents a gallon, unless they have a pump-handle near, is a mystery to me. If, when you ship your wine, you have 130 gallons clear wine to the ton, you are doing well, (This is the St. Helena estimate, and a high one.) Many wine-makers claim 20 pounds of grapes to the gallon of clear wine, or only 100 gallons to the ton. Fifty tons at $30, equals $1,500, and 50 multiplied by 130 and by 25 gives $1,625. Twenty-five cents is an average price for a cellar of wine, and this leaves only $125 for making, handling and shipping the wine, for insurance and interest and wear and tear on cooperage, etc. The result is a loss. I heard from a Sonoma Valley man the other day that large quantities of grape sugar (glucose) and molasses were shipped there last year. So, perhaps, this accounts for people being able to pay the prices they do for grapes. It seems to me that when a few wholesale dealers, who are having wine made on their own account in the valley, have secured all the grapes they require, that there must be a sudden tumble in prices. Personally, I am anxious to buy, but cannot. Last year I paid $30 for Zinfandel, but did not make a cent. If I were selling grapes, I would sell immediately, but only to responsible parties. L. C. Sonoma County, August 14, 1881. Chicago, August 18.—A Times special says: Willie Cantwell, a lad residing near Pekin, Ill., while carrying some potatoes along the road was seized by a middle-aged man and tied to the railroad track with a rope. An Indianapolis train soon came around the curve and the boy was struck by the pilot, breaking his ribs and foot. The man then cut and threw away the rope and fled into the woods, being seen by the passengers. The train was backed up and the lad found meaning in the ditch. He died soon afterward, and the funeral was held yesterday afternoon. The perpetrator was caught at Bloomington and is identified by train hands. He may be lynched if the public feeling continues as strong against him as it now is. All enorts to stay the pest seemed useless; prizes were offered in vain for some cure and preventive, hardy American vines were imported upon which to graft French stock, and still the ravages went on. In view of this discouraging outlook, it is interesting to read in Galignani that this year's vintage promises to be one of the best in fifteen years both in France and Italy, and fully up to the average in Spain. Superstitious persons, too, are deriving much satisfaction from the ancient belief that a comet always brings with it good wine, and thus the vineyardists are smiling over the prospective quality as well as quantity of their coming harvest.

A remark by a prominent New Hampshire Democrat, "that it was a notorious fact that one-third of the voters of New Hampshire had become mercenary and venal," excites little comment in that State, because no well-informed person doubts that it is true. The Nashua Gazette has been doing a little signring, and allowing that each vote purchased cost $10, finds that $287,310 was spent last November in bribery. This may be an overestimate, but the fact remains that New Hampshire politically one of the most corrupt States on the face of the earth.—Boston Post. By the statistics of the Brewers' Congress recently held in France, the popular impression of the Teutonic capacity for beer being unrivalled is proved incorrect. The Briton tops the roll. One-third of all the beer brewed annually in Europe is produced in the English islands. Counting men, women and children, every native of Great Britain drinks nearly 143 quarts of beer in a year, whereas Germans drink only 94, and Austrians no more than 31. GAZETTE.

Andrew Phillips, one of the surveying Alkaline Deposits from Waters of Irrigation. Professor E. W. Hilgard, in his report as Professor of Agriculture in the University of California, observing that ordinary surface irrigation on alkaline lands tends to concentrate the alkali at the surface, proposes as a remedy underdraining, "which may so far lower the water-table from which the saline matters are derived, and may so far favor the washing out of the salts during the rainy season, that the latter will thereafter fail to reach the surface so as to accumulate to an injurious extent with reasonable tillage." The waters of Kern and Tulare Lakes contain an excess of solid matter, the quantity in the former lake being twenty-six times as much as in average river-water, and consisting mostly of carbonate of soda, common and Glauber's salta. The evaporation from such water when it is used in irrigation adds annually to the deposit of alkali in the soil, the effect of which must be counteracted by the cultivation of deep-rooted crops, the use of gypsum, sub-irrigation, and the leaching out of the alkali from time to time by long-continued flooding and underdrainage. Professor Hilgard concludes after an examination of the facts, that "there are, probably, few river waters in the world of such composition or natural purity that continued irrigation without correlative underdrainage can be practiced without in the end causing an injurious accumulation of soluble salts in the soil." The Indian Government, after having enormous sums to bring water in the interest of pose to ask anyexcept the Workingmen's goings to ask for any the Workingmen's enhances on that.

On Tuesday, the 16th, while a party were hunting in the foothills west of Covello, Mendocino county, Gus Redwine mistook James Stephens for a deer, while in the brush, and shot him through the breast. Stephens died before help came. They were warm friends, and are widely known in this section. William Green Phelps, a wood-chopper, has been held to answer on the charge of murder at Tulare. Phelps was a chronic drinker and imagined that a Mexican had put strychnine in his coffee. He walked out with a shotgun to where the Mexican was at work and emptied one barrel into his body, killing him instantly. James Contner, a Redding tailor, has a snake in his stomach. His story is, as reported to the Redding Independent, that two years ago he swallowed it at night while drinking water. He has suffered nameless tortures, and has found no relief. Selling his property, he has left for San Francisco to obtain medical treatment. The Gridley Herald reports the largest eel yet caught in the State. The eel was caught in the Sacramento, three miles below Princeton, on the 17th of July, by a sheep man named Beaudien. When taken from the water it measured six feet four inches in length and fourteen inches in circumference around the thickest portion of its body. Charges of a serious nature are made against A. W. Brodt, Principal of the Durant School, Oakland.

The effect of which must be counteracted by the cultivation of deep-rooted crops, the use of gypsum, sub-irrigation, and the leaching out of the alkali from time to time by long-continued flooding and underdrainage. Professor Hilgard concludes after an examination of the facts, that "there are, probably, few river waters in the world of such composition or natural purity that continued irrigation without correlative underdrainage can be practiced without in the end causing an injurious accumulation of soluble salts in the soil." The Indian Government, after having spent enormous sums to bring water upon the fields, now has to face the problem of its economical removal by drainage, so as to relieve the soil of the accumulated alkali which has rendered it unfit for cultivation, HAVANA, August 20.—Advices from San Domingo to the 2d instant, state that on July 29th an envisary of the Government discovered the hiding place of Generals Raman, Prez and Julius Fras, and three wounded officers belonging to the party of General Alvarez. On the afternoon of the same day all were shot in the Cemetery of San Domingo City, notwithstanding the intercession of the Diplomatic Corps and Ecclesiastic body.

On the 2d of August the Diplomatic Corps again asked in vain for the pardon of nine adherents of Alvarez, who had been condemned to be shot, and eight of that number were shot on that day.

"Our idea of loyalty," says the Montreal Star, for example, "is to be loyal to our own country first, and then to the rest of the world afterward." On the other hand, the commercial advantages of Canada's present relation to Great Britain are dwelt upon. The Toronto Globe puts it in this way: "It is a connection which redounds in a hundred ways to our honor and our advantage, and which costs us nothing. Any restriction involved in regard to our dealings with foreign nations is counterbalanced ten times over by the security, the influence, and the prestige we derive from our relations to the great empire as one of its integral parts."
