WEEKLY GAZETTE. County Official Paper. SATURDAY...OCTOBER 8, 1881 The Tombstone Nugget has been informed that the late President Garfield, about two years since, invested in Arizona mines, and at the time of his death was the possessor of 1,000 shares of Silver King stock. This, of course, will revert to Mrs. Garfield, and, at its present price, together with its monthly dividends, is in itself quite a snug fortune. Louis J. Jennings, who was leading editor of the New York "Times" at the time when that paper undertook the exposure of the Tweed frauds, and who is now the London correspondent of the New York "World," writes to the latter paper some very favorable comments upon President Arthur's past course. He says: When I began an attack upon the Tammany ring, the first man to come forward with encouragement and friendly counsel was General Arthur. Throughout that contest he was far more active in helping to destroy the ring than some others upon whom I had a right to depend for support. They often wavered and were disheartened, but in General Arthur I found to the last a staunch and unshaken ally. He incurred many personal animosities in endeavoring to serve the journal and the cause which I was conducting, but nothing could turn him from what he regarded as his duty. In many subsequent political complications I always found him actuated by the highest sense of honor, free from the slightest taint or suspicion of political jobbery. He never once asked the smallest favor for himself, whether in or out of office. The San Francisco Board of Trade held a meeting a few days ago to hear the report of their Committee on Imprisonment. SUGAR—AND MONEY. Mr. F. A. Gates of Garden Grove has brought us a sample of sorghum syrup made by him this year, which, we think, is an improvement over last year's product. The tendency of the syrup this season is to granulate quickly, thus giving additional proof if any were needed, that with proper appliances the syrup could be converted into sugar. There is a plethora of money in the country just now. The bank vaults are filled with coin, some banking institutions in this county have within a few weeks refused to receive further deposits, numerous private individuals are trying to loan sums ranging from $250 to $5,000, and can find no takers even at a very low rate of interest. Nor is there any immediate prospect that money-lenders will be able to loan their money. The country is in the main prosperous, its products are in demand at good prices, and people have had their eyes opened to the danger of borrowing money in the reckless fashion which was in vogue some years ago, and they prefer to go ahead slowly rather than to imperil their all by becoming borrowers. But the money cannot long remain idle. The temper of the American people is in a great degree speculative, and the most cautious among them will not hoard their money in vaults when a legitimate enterprise, which promises well, is brought before them. The present state of the monetary market will result in great good to the State—especially this portion of it, where manufacturing interests are shamefully neglected. Failing to loan this money, the owners must perforce employ their gold in establishing manufactories and developing the interests of the country. And the industry which promises the quickest returns for the money invested is the manufacture of sugar, GARDEN Mr. Con Howell week, but am much better.

THE DEVOTION SACRAMENTO Supervisors to constructing the county to institute steps to enjoin Sacramento City using the bed place for the digging debris. MARYSVILLE The San Francisco Board of Trade held a meeting a few days ago to hear the report of their Committee on Immigration. The committee reported that it had tried to get the S. P. Railroad Company to reduce the fares for immigrants, but were unsuccessful, the company alleging that "their partner, Levi,"—otherwise the Union Pacific—would not co-operate with them. When, however, the Southern Pacific is in amicable arrangement with some through line, a proper reduction would doubtless be made. The committee suggested various schemes to induce immigration to this State, and suggested among other things that a series of photographic views be taken and exhibited in the East, such as an Anaheim orchard in January, with the farmer in his shirt sleeves eating oranges, at a time when the thermometer is below zero in the place where the views are exhibited. The committee said: "You might lecture to an audience for a week, and not impress them as one view of such a picture would." Through the columns of the New York "Sun" parties there are proposing to organize a colony to go to California or some Southern State. A writer says: "I send my address, with a view of organizing a colony to go out next spring and take up a good location either in Northern Georgia or Southern California, or elsewhere, as shall be voted. The Anaheim Colony from San Francisco has been conspicuously a success, and there is an unbounded field for many such colonies. In my own business, a staple one, dealing in a prime necessity, competition has so reduced profits that I can but just live with severe economy, a self-denial which I should not grudge if any improvement could be made by it, but no such result follows. In the organization there must be a certain community of interests, such as would naturally develop itself among a number of resolute men of integrity, aspiring views and some capital virtue, no wholly peniless fore them. The present state of the monetary market will result in great good to the State—especially this portion of it, where manufacturing interests are shamefully neglected. Failing to loan this money, the owners must perforce employ their gold in establishing manufactories and developing the interests of the country. And the industry which promises the quickest returns for the money invested is the manufacture of sugar, from beets or sorghum. Because the beet sugar project proved a miserable failure in this county a couple of years ago, is no reason why the industry should be condemned. It failed because new methods were tried, and old, well-proven methods were discarded. The beet sugar factory at Alvarado, in this State, is a success—is, in the language of the day, coining money. The manufacture of sugar from beets is one of the most important industries in Germany and France, enriching the manufacturers and affording a livelihood to an immense population. Why could not the same thing be done here, if backed by brains and money? Sugar can be made from sorghum in such large percentage that there is no doubt of its being a paying investment to the grower and manufacturer. So much has been admitted by the refiners in San Francisco. The syrup itself proves it. If the "bank president who lies awake at nights thinking how to invest his money"—if the hundred people in Los Angeles county who have money and don't know how to employ it profitably, will investigate this matter of sugar factories, it might lead them to develop an industry which would enrich the whole county, attract thousands of people hither, and add largely to their own wealth. The New York "Sun" stood alone and unrivalled in its abuse of Garfield during the election campaign. It then, and since, denounced him, as a thief and perjurer, but now that he is dead it permits to be said in its columns, referring to the Star Route frauds— "The result of Postmaster-General James's preliminary examination was laid before Attorney-General MacVeagh. It astonished him. The two Cabinet officers immediately went to the White House. They found the President in the library, and laid the result of their researches before him. He carefully examined it, going over every detail. The interview lasted several hours. The President finally once more." The writer says truly that there is plenty of room for numerous editions of the Anaheim Colony. The more one ponders upon the subject, the more he marvels that the conspicuous success of Anaheim has not encouraged a dozen similar ventures in this part of the State. There are sites Stearns Ranchos which, for colony purposes, are unequalled in any State in the Union. There are within a few miles of Anaheim thousands of acres of vineyard and orchard land of unsurpassable fertility; and if these lands were settled upon by the proper kind of men, they would be as conspicuously successful as the Germans who over twenty years ago came here poor, unacquainted with the country, unused to the industries they proposed to follow, and environed by obstacles which would have conquered people less resolute, but who have succeeded in acquiring homes in the fairest land under the sun and reaping princely returns for their expenditure of toil. "The result of Postmaster-General James's preliminary examination was laid before Attorney-General MacVeagh. It astonished him. The two Cabinet officers immediately went to the White House. They found the President in the library, and laid the result of their researches before him. He carefully examined it, going over every detail. The interview lasted several hours. The President finally said: 'I direct you to probe this ulcer to the bottom and to cut it out.'" "From that day to this work has gone on without interruption. No leniency has been shown to anyone. It has been a work of great magnitude. Many experts have been employed in gathering evidence from the records and elsewhere." Men were paid to make affidavits against the character of the men engaged in the investigation. A plot was formed to encompass the removal of the Attorney-General and the Postmaster-General, and false statements were manufactured to influence the mind of the President against them. Gen. Garfield stood firm, and the spiritors showered him with the vilest abuse. The reports that any member of the Cabinet made any attempt to control the investigation are false." GARDEN GROVE ITEMS. Mr. Con Howe has been very sick the past week, but am happy to state he is now much better. Mr. Hough has recently purchased twenty acres of land near his other place. The carpenters have also been at work on his house getting it ready for the plasterer and painter. Messrs. Ward and Parker are boring a well for Milton Teal. Mr. Mills has returned from his trip to New Mexico. He says there is plenty of good land in that country, but the weather is too warm for white folks. Mr. and Mrs. James Sturgess, formerly of this place but recently from Arizona, are visiting friends here. Since Mr. Handsaker commenced teaching, the school has increased so much that it has been necessary for the trustees to order more seats for the school-house, and they are talking seriously of enlarging the building. For nearly two weeks Rev. W. Nixon has been holding evening meetings at the church. While the attendance is not all one could desire, there is much interest, and good is being done. WESTMINSTER ITEMS. The Rev. Robt. Strong left here for San Francisco on Tuesday last, to be away about two weeks. Mr. Armstrong and family now occupy the Danskin house, lately vacated by Rev. Washburn. Miss Carrie McCoy has gone to Carbon-dale to take charge of the new school opened there. Mr. Anderson has commenced syrup making. He works on a new principle and from a sample of the syrup we saw, it promises to be a success. The Rev. F. A. Field preached in the Congregational Church here, last Sunday. The large attendance to hear him testified that his old friends were glad to see him once more. THE DEBRIS PROBLEM. SACRAMENTO, October 4th.—The Board of Supervisors today adopted a resolution instructing the special legal counsel for the county to institute and take the necessary steps to enjoin and restrain the Amador and Sacramento County Canal Company from using the bed of the Cosomnes River as a place for the deposits of its tailings or mining debris. MARYSVILLE, October 4th.—To-day, in James Hickey was shot and killed at Charleston, A.T., by Wm. Clayborn, in a saloon brawl. P. S. Courtwright, a horsebreaker, was thrown from a wagon at Sacramento and killed almost instantly. A child while standing near a molasses evaporator, near Dandridge, Tenn., a few nights ago, lost its foothold, fell into the seething mass, and was killed. Franklin J. Moses, formerly Governor of South Carolina, was locked up Monday in New York on a charge of swindling Wm. L. Hall, a retired hotel-keeper, out of $25. The funeral drapings in New York are nearly all down, and carts will visit all parts of the city and collect all that may be useful to sufferers by the forest fires in Michigan. At San Bernardino on Monday a young boy named George Wallin was accidentally shot with a pistol by a companion, the bullet passing through the breast near the surface. The injury is not considered fatal. The tenth annual session of the State Grange of Patrons of Husbandry opened in the Masonic Hall at Santa Rosa on Tuesday, with an unusually full attendance for the first day. Master Spilman delivered the annual address. A singular religious frenzy has broken out in Nicaragua. The people believe themselves the receivers of Divine communication, and whenever a person feels the inspiration he rushes to the church and rings the bell, when the whole population assembles to hear the message. The Grand Lodge-I. O. G. T. met in annual session at Vallejo on Tuesday. Three hundred delegates were present. The G. W. S. reported a gain of members during the year of 4262; present total membership, 17,241. There were expelled from the order during the year, 798; withdrawn, 2000; suspended, 3232. One hundred and twenty lodges were organized during the past year, making the present number 341. The Treasurer reports the receipts of the order at $35,701 67, and a cash balance in the treasury of $4456 25. The Orphans' Home of the Order has 145 orphans. Thurlow Weed, in the New York Post, suggests as a token of national friendly feeling towards Queen Victoria and an acknowledgment of the sympathy shown by England towards the late President, that the British flag be saluted with extraordinary honors at the Yorktown celebration. Let it be saluted by all the assembled artillery of that... THE DEBRIS PROBLEM. SACRAMENTO, October 4th.—The Board of Supervisors to-day adopted a resolution instructing the special legal counsel for the county to institute and take the necessary steps to enjoin and restrain the Amador and Sacramento County Canal Company from using the bed of the Cosomnes River as a place for the deposits of its tailings or mining debris. MARYSVILLE, October 4th.—To-day, in the Superior Court, the case of the Excelsior Hydraulic Mining Company for contempt of Court in violating the injunction issued in the suit of the City of Marysville vs. North Bloomfieldet al., which had been set for hearing to-morrow, has been continued till Wednesday, the 12th instant. The indisposition of Judge Wallace of counsel for defendants, was the cause of continuance. District Attorney Horsner to-day advised the Board of Supervisors that the Board had a legal right to bring suits in the name of the county against the Hydraulic Mining Company's operating on Yuba River or tributaries. No action has been taken. The Sutter county Supervisors to-day continued the hearing of the proposal to bring suits against the Bear River hydraulic mines to Tuesday, October 18th. NEVADA CITY, October 4th.—The leading hydraulic miners in the county are rapidly completing their preparations to begin washing, and will all be in full operation, with white labor exclusively, before many more days have elapsed. The hundreds of employees who have been idle ever since Judge Keyser's injunctions were served say that while they are willing to obey any mandate of any Court which seems to them reasonable, they cannot longer sit with their hands folded and see their families suffer for want of the necessaries of life, as has recently been the case in numerous instances, owing to the peculiar situation of affairs. The determination of the working miners, who assume the entire responsibility of the act, is indorsed by the citizens here. ROCHESTER, October 3d.—About 20,000 people at the Western New York Fair on Friday witnessed a twenty-mile running race between Belle Cook of California and Emma Jewett of Minnesota for a purse of $200. The contest was most exciting. Each rider had eight horses. Jewett won in 45m. 5s., the fastest time ever made. As Cook changed horses at the beginning of the eighth mile she missed her grasp upon the reins, and the horse, bolting, jumped a fence, close to the judges' stand. As he went over he caught one of his hind feet on a picket, falling to the ground. Cook was rendered unconscious, but her injuries are not regarded as serious. WASHINGTON, October 4th.—The Grand Jury concluded the examination of Guiteau's lodges were organized during the past year, making the present number 341. The Treasurer reports the receipts of the order at $35,701 67, and a cash balance in the treasury of $4456 25. The Orphans' Home of the Order has 145 orphans. Thurlow Weed, in the New York Post, suggests as a token of national friendly feeling towards Queen Victoria and an acknowledgment of the sympathy shown by England towards the late President, that the British flag be saluted with extraordinary honors at the Yorktown celebration. Let it be saluted by all the assembled artillery of that field; let the Queen be honored likewise, and in the same royal manner as if she were present in person; let all the bands unite in "God Save Victoria," and let the whole army, the whole multitude, unite in cheers at the mention of her name, and everywhere over the length and breadth of the land, wherever our flag is raised, let the national colors of old England be twined with it in joy that the mother and daughter nations are as one; let every orchestra on that night render the national airs of England, and let every organ on the Sunday which follows peal with the anthem which invokes a blessing on its Queen.
