WEEKLY GAZETTE. County Official Paper. SATURDAY... FEBRUARY 13, 1882 CARRYING WEAPONS. There is no subject upon which so many homilies have been written than the criminal and foolish practice of carrying deadly weapons—a practice which seems to flourish more generally on the Pacific coast than anywhere else. There is no more need to carry a pistol on the plains of Southern California than on the streets of Boston; and there is more necessity for a weapon of defense on Broadway, New York, than there is in any town in this State. But in the outfit of the cultured young men of Boston and the sharp young men of New York who conceive the idea of immigrating to California, the revolver and bowle knife are among the most important parts, under the mistaken idea that it is en regle to be accounted with those weapons in this State. And while old Californians, who have been unable to divorce themselves from their weapons and who carry them as they did in '49 and the spring of '50, make some attempt to conceal their weapons, the young men referred to display them so ostentatiously as to render themselves contemptible. All the details of the deplorable affair at Orange has not reached us as we write, but enough is known to deduce the proposition that it Hulse had not habitually carried a pistol to would not have been a murderer and his victim would not have been dead. It is a serious thing to take the life of a human being. It is followed by arrest, trials in court, imprisonment and sometimes hanging; it entails expense and business ruin; and worse than all, entails remorse and awakens into activity that mysterious thing called conscience. It is better to endure an insult than so avenge it by killing the insult; it is better to bear the pain and ignominy of an insult than to imbue one hands in human blood; it is better to bear the reputation of a coward than to avenge a coward by forming a murderer. It is no THE ANTI-MONOPOLY LEAGUE. In the political battles which must be fought in this State before the close of the year, is the anti-monopoly league going to make itself felt? The question is one which is often asked and it is time it should be answered. In New York State, where the league had its inception, it is already a power in the political field. With rare good fortune, its management has been entrusted to men who honestly believe in its platform, who have no political ambition themselves, and are above the reach of flattery and bribery. The same sort of men have control of the organization in other States, and the result is that only the best men of the Republican and Democratic parties are mentioned in connection with important elective offices. For it must be remembered that it is not the purpose of the anti-monopoly league to enter into political contests as a separate political organization. Their platform of principles distinctly disclaim any such intention, and explicitly state that the purposes of the league can be best subserved by holding no conventions until the other parties have made their nominations, and then to meet and endorse such of the candidates as will be most likely to push the reforms advocated by the league. It is to be feared, however, that this wise programme will not be adhered to in California. It is a matter of common rumor that some of the managers of the league in San Francisco are in favor of transforming the league into a party, holding conventions, making nominations, and putting in force all the machinery of party organization—in short, to make the admirable principles of the league a stepping-stone to assist certain men into office. The enactment of the laws demanded by the league is but of secondary importance; it is place and power which they are striving for. This course is the one most likely to render the organization contemptible. It degrades it to the level of the other parties; may it sinks it below their level, because it adds the crime of hypocrisy. To use the admirable platform of the anti-monopoly league as a lever with which to resurrect the political cadiver of ex-Senator Booth is WESTMINSTER The rain of last week was The amount is variously estimated been from one-half to three-inch, not enough to do much plowed land, but on ground too very much; and we live in more to follow. Mr. Sampson Edwards is at stantial fence around the 160-acre recently purchased known place. Mr. Jacobus is moving into house, and Mr. A. J. Barrythe Fisher place. Some people never get distressed in a dry year. Mr. John Keen with an eye to the future, has supply his own help for the growing, and is raising two fine bills quite young yet, and only pounds each. But then "Stiff little fellows grow, and may work, you know." It is quite appropriate to put healthful beverages direct "death notices" in a newspaper heim Gazette of last week. J. J. McCoy has finished near Wilmington, and is born Cummings at the same place. Mr. Jotham Bixby had seen some time since in the Ciener high hills on the Meas, between Wilmington. Parties are now water from these wells out of Will, we are informed, be nearly all of it that is tillage water enough. We report sales of real estate; trustee, to E. P. Justice section 13. Wm. Ball to Dacres. Other sales are in complete, and inquiry is active. Mr. Geo. McFadden and down from the mountains that port feed further advanced prospect good for a fair supervisee. Mr. Josiah McCoy is preparing his vineyard of Muscat grape. During recent snow cattle belonging to Mr. Cox An important installment of "women's rights" has been conceded in Switzerland, where the law making both sexes of full legal age at twenty-one came into force with the new year. In many contests the age of majority for men has bitherto be as high as twenty-six; and, as women were altogether denied majority, no matter how old they were, the number of "awards" was very great. The duty of guardianhip in most cases devolved on the communities, which have now been relieved of much thankless labor; and for the future, Swies women, at home and abroad, whether unmarried, married, or widows, will be civilly emancipated on their twenty-first birthdays. In the town of Saint Gall alone fortunes to the amount of upward of ten millions of francs were transferred to women, formerly in wardship, under the new law, on New Year's Day. The House Commerce Committee agreed to report favorably on Pacheco's bill making Wilmington a port of entry, thus making three collection districts in California, viz: San Diego, Wilmington and San Francisco. Wilmington district will comprise the waters and shores of the counties of Santa Barbara, Ventura, Los Angeles and San Bernardino. Wilmington will be a port of entry and Santa Barbara a port of delivery. This will necessitate the appointment of a Collector, Deputy Collector and one Inspector. The Collector will receive $3,000 a year and the Deputy Collector $1,500. The arrival in the Thames of the Meifon, the first of a line of Chinese trading steamships, followed by arrests, trials in court, imprisonment and sometimes hanging; it entails expense and business ruin; and worse than all, entails remorse and awakens into activity that mysterious thing called conscience. It is better to endure an insult than so avenge it by killing the insulter; it is better to bear the pain and ignominy of an insult than to imbue one hands in human blood; it is better to hear the reputation of a coward than to avenge a wrong by becoming a murderer. It is no test of bravery to take revenge on an enemy by shooting him down; it is merely pre-evidence that the slayer has a suitit of bad and ungovernable passions. Time and time again has it been proven that the most noted so-called desperades of the West were at heart arant cowards. The anti-monopoly league, as a distinct political organization, can accomplish nothing but its own ruin by erecting itself into a third party in this State this year; but if it will follow the wise course of the leaders in New York, and select the best men put forward by the Democratic and Republican conventions, it will accomplish much of the good which its promoters desire. The unwise and unpopular action of the leaders in San Francisco has put an effectual quietus on the movement in the interior counties. As long as they persist in their purpose of making the league a third party, just so long will the movement be a failure throughout the State. The gentleman to whom was delegated the power to organize the league in this county, Mr. B. Dreyfus, accepted the trust believing that the movement was strictly non-partisan and that the league would take the course best calculated to reform the abuses which called it into existence. But, in common with many other organizing deputies, he waits until the officers and manipulators of the league abandon their political maneuvers before beginning the work of organization in Los Angeles county. The Pension Arrears Act, which came up for discussion in the United States Senate last week, received the warm advocacy of several Southern Senators, among them Senator Vest of Missouri who, in the course of his remarks, said: "I have been a member of the Confederate Senate, and if in the providence of God that cause had succeeded, I would have voted to the survivors of those gallant brigades whose tattered gray was hurled by Lee and Jackson against the Union lines, every dollar of money, every acre of land, until their just demands had been satisfied. Standing here today in the presence of victors and vanquished, I declare that the Confederates accept cheerfully the result which leaves to them only the consciousness of honest motives, only a history of unqualified heroism, and they accept at the same time the further result which gives to the soldiers of the Union what has been awarded to them by a grateful country." The priests of various Catholic churches throughout San Francisco on Sunday last offered up prayers in conformity short to make the admirable principles of the league a stepping-stone to assist certain men into office. The enactment of the laws demanded by the league is but of secondary importance; it is place and power which they are striving for. This course is the one most likely to render the organization contemptible. It degrades it to the level of the other parties; nay it sinks it below their level because it adds the crime of hypocrisy. To use the admirable platform of the anti-monopoly league as a lever with which to resurrect the political cadaver of ex-Senator Booth is enough to cause honest men to turn from the party with loathing.

The arrival in the Thames of the Meiloo, the first of a line of Chinese trading steamers intended to run between Shanghai and London, has caused great consternation in England. "If this line succeeds," say the English newspapers, "we shall have Chinese immigrants by the thousand entering London." They prophesy that certain trades will inevitably pass into their hands, and gloomily exclaim: "If the Chinese come, questions will arise to which strikes are triding." Congressman Berry, of the upper California District, has introduced a bill in Congress which makes it unlawful for any railroad company to charge fare for the transportation of passengers in excess of the following rates per mile: Under 100 miles, 4½ cents; over 100 and under 300 miles, 4 cents; over 300 miles, 3 cents. The town of Mansfield, Ohio, has only a population of 9,000, yet it has a free delivery postal system. Los Angeles, with double the population, hasn't. But Mansfield is the home of "Honest" John Sherman. The stalwart 306, who stood for Grant "first, last and all the time" at the Presidential convention, has been temporarily reduced to 305. The other one has been sent to the penitentiary for stealing. Guiteau the murderer, Oscar Wilde the ass, Ryan and Sullivan the bruisers, are the most prominent men in the nation to-day. There are eight Irishmen in Congress, five Englishmen, four Scotchmen and three Germans. The priests of the various Catholic churches throughout San Francisco on Sunday last offered up prayers in conformity with the following recommendation of the Archbishop: As the want of rain is severely felt in many parts of the diocese, especially in the southern counties, I would recommend that you exhort the faithful to unite in earnest and fervent prayer to Almighty God, the giver of every good gift, beseeching Him to grant a supply of rain. And to this end all the priests shall add to all the masses the prayer "Ad Petendam Pluriam" until further notice, and on Sundays at the end of mass or of vespers the pastors shall recite the Litany of the Blessed Virgin, with the same prayer, "Ad Petendam Pluriam." J. H. Shropshire of Lexington, Ky., has been appointed agent in that city for the American Colonization Company of H. F. Shearman & Co., London. The object of this company is to place the sons of English gentry with first-class American farmers and stock-raisers as pupils for a term of twelve months, in order that they may acquire the necessary knowledge to purchase and conduct farms of their own according to the American system. These young men are being placed by Mr. Shropshire with only the best Kentucky farmers, with a bonus to the farmer, which saves him any cost for the time except board and washing. Mr. S. has applications for fifteen young men, and five have already arrived. Mr. Easterday of Niles, while out hunting in Alameda canyon, received a very serious if not fatal wound. The gun was accidentally discharged, tearing the flesh and scalp off the right side of his head.

The amount is variously estimated to have been from one-half to three-fourths of an inch, not enough to do much good on unplowed land, but on ground that was sowed and where the grain was up it will help it very much; and we live in hopes there is more to follow. Mr. Sampson Edwards is putting a substantial fence around the 160 acres which he recently purchased known as the Gibson place. Mr. Jacobus is moving into the Steinart house, and Mr. A. J. Barnes has rented the Fisher place. Some people never get discouraged, even in a dry year. Mr. John Kearney, probably with an eye to the future, has undertaken to supply his own help for the good year coming, and is raising two fine boys. They are quite young yet, and only weigh seven pounds each. But then "Strong men from little fellows grow, and men can do the work, you know." It is quite appropriate to place "ads." of healthful beverages directly under the "death notices" in a newspaper. See Anaheim Gazette of last week. J. J. McCoy has finished Mr. Sams well near Wilmington, and is boring one for Mr. Cummings at the same place. Mr. Jotham Bixby had several wells bored some time since in the Cienega, North of the high hills on the Mesa, between here and Wilmington. Parties are now taking the water from these wells out on the Mesa and will, we are informed, be able to irrigate nearly all of it that is tillable if there is water enough.

SAN JOSE LETTER. The capriciousness of California weather has been well exemplified; clear, cloudless skies, with a harsh, cutting north wind that retarded vegetation here. Clouds which gave promise of rain at the last of January ending in a rare spectacle—rain, snow and hail—ending in a true Eastern thunder storm in the west while the moon smiled through a rainbow in the east. Farmers everywhere complain of the light rainfall and predict short crops, asserting that the short rains of the season have not wet down into the earth more than a couple of inches. The Normal School opened with an excess of attendance over the opening last August. Teachers and pupils entered into the advanced work of the session with an earnestness of purpose that promises well for the future percentage. There are present from Los Angeles county, Missie Gowes and Weinahank, from Los Angeles, and Sheats, of Tustin. Mossrs. Chapin, of Norwalk, and Bailey, of Wilmington, are in the Senior Class. Another member in all respects worthy has been added to the Faculty—Prof. Klaberger, who has been in San Diego county and who may not be unknown in Los Angeles county. February 13th—The storm predicted by the Signal Service followed closely upon the prediction. A delightful rain has gladdened the hearts of the people. Considerable snow fell upon both sides of the valley in the mountains, but is now fast melting away. Almond trees are in bloom; the grass has taken a start, and early grain looks better. There has been thorough teating of the electric light and every one seems pleased with its effect (the gas company’s pleasure not vouched for). Upon the night when it was to be tested people were in town from all the country around until the city was one vast throng. The effect is like subdued full moon light and lights up so as to make shadows a couple of miles out, where it strikes objects full. We are glad to hear of the enterprise which impels new brick blocks and have no doubt that Anaheim, too, will soon boast its electric light. of M. M. Drew, who will resign as soon as confirmed as United States Marshal. Johnston is a citizen of Sacramento county, a leading farmer and prominent in the Grange organization. On Monday afternoon about 3 o'clock Louise Mary, daughter of Jacob Wagner of You Bet, Nevada county, accidently fell backward into a pail of boiling hot water that stood on the floor. The child was fearfully scalded, her flesh being literally cooked where in came in contact with the water. She lingered until Tuesday morning and then died. Her age was 2 years and 19 months. Andrew Anderson, better known as "Big Andy," was arrested in Woodland on the 11th inst., on a charge of assault on H. Maynard. The latter, about ten days ago, was deporting himself in a manner disagreeable to a Miss Mable of the town, and she called in the assistance of her muscular friend, "Big Andy," who inflicted wounds upon Maynard from which it is thought improbable that he will recover. The Southern Pacific Railroad Company brought suit in the Supreme Court on Wednesday against the Tax Collectors and Sheriffs of all the counties of the State through which the road and its branches run, asking that the defendants be required to accept the amounts tendered by the plaintiff in satisfaction of tax liens; that the liens be removed and defendants enjoined pending further proceedings under general orders of the State Board of Equalization. In the Superior Court of San Francisco on Thursday the Central Pacific Railroad Company commenced suits against the Sheriffs and Tax Collectors of the following counties, viz: Sutter, Shasta, Merced, Tulare, Nevada, Sacramento, Butte, Alameda, Place, Stanislaus, Yuba, San Joaquin, Sierra, Santa Clara and Tehama, to compel them to accept the amounts offered for taxes by the plaintiff, and asking injunctions pending further proceedings. The vineyardists of Napa county recommend the following method of disinfecting grape cuttings: Use sulphide-carbonate of potassium dissolved in cold water. Prepare a tank of redwood three feet wide and about twenty feet long. This would be filled with liquid deep enough to immerse a bunch of 250 cuttings. The banches would be put in at one end and pushed gradually to the other, where they would be taken out upon a table inclined enough to drain the liquid back again into the tank. Quite a sensation was caused in the courthouse at Oakland on Tuesday by the summary chastisement of John D. Whaley, a San Francisco lawyer, by a lady upon whose reputation it was alleged he had cast a slur in Court. Judge Hamilton of Department No.3 was hearing the arguments for alimony in the divorce suit of Emily L. Whaley against John D. Whaley. The defendant conducted his own case. When the alleged remark was made the lady with a quick movement placed her hand under morning what purports to be a copy of a registered letter sent by Mrs. Scoville to Mrs. Garfield last Tuesday, pleading for forgiveness for the assassin. It concluded: "Never can I rest satisfied until I be allowed on my bended knees, under the weight of this humiliation and despair, a few brief moments in which to pour forth to your merciful heart the pleadings of one who must ever feel a sister's love for an insane, motherless boy, even though by the whole world condemned and despised." ASHERVILLE, N.C., Feb. 15.-Information from Bald mountain states that yesterday a fearful crash was heard in the neighborhood of Bakerville. A rumbling noise preceding the crash was heard for miles. Investigation developed the fact that a large portion of the park had disappeared and fallen into the fertile and beautiful valley below. A slice of half a mile square has melted away. NEW YORK, Feb. 13.-The citizens of Greenwood, Steuben county, having resisted the sale of town property, levied on under judgment for interest on the town bonds, issued in aid of a railroad never built, the Governor has issued a proclamation declaring Greenwood in a state of insurrection, and warning the people to desist from opposition to the execution of the law. MONTREAL, Feb. 14th.-An eight-year-old boy has died at Point St. Charles from the excessive use of liquor. The Coroner's jury brought in a verdict of wilful murder against the persons who gave him the liquor. Mark Stuart, while trimming a fir tree on his place near Portland, died on one of the branches. His friends searching for him found him lying across a himb dead. INSURE AGAINST FIRE By taking out a policy in one of the companies of which Richard Melrose is Agent.

WASHINGTON, February 13.—The bill introduced to-day by Representative Carlisle of Kentucky, to amend the law relating to the internal revenue, was framed in accordance with the wishes of distillers and after consultation with internal revenue officials. It reduces the tax on distilled spirits produced after August, 1882, to 50 cents on each proof gallon, or wine gallon when below proof, to be paid by the distillery owner, or person having possession thereof, before removal from the distillery bonded warehouse. It provides that the tax on all distilled spirits hereafter entered for deposit in the distillery warehouse, or in special warehouses, or remaining in such warehouse at the time of the passage of this Act, shall be due and payable before and at the time the same are withdrawn therefrom, except in cases of withdrawal without payment of tax, as authorized by law. The bill further provides that the tax on foreign brandy, and on other spirits manufactured or distilled from grain or other materials, and imported into this country, shall be $1.50 per gallon on cordial liquors, arrack, absinthe, kirschwasser, raitais and other similar spirituous beverages or bitters containing spirits, imported into this country. This latter provision is not to take effect, however, till the President shall receive satisfactory evidence that American distilled spirits may be imported into France, paying no greater duty than distilled spirits imported from that country from the most favored nations. The new invention by which printing ink is made luminous in the dark, so that printing becomes legible by its own light, is widely extending. A paper in which this material is used is to be published at Turin. Quite a sensation was caused in the court-house at Oakland on Tuesday by the summary chastisement of John D. Whaley, a San Francisco lawyer, by a lady upon whose reputation it was alleged he had cast a slur in Court. Judge Hamilton of Department No.3 was hearing the arguments for alimony in the divorce suit of Emily L. Whaley against John D. Whaley. The defendant conducted his own case. When the alleged remark was made the lady with a quick, nervous movement placed her hand under her cloak, and then withdrawing it left the courtroom. She waited outside until Whaley came out, and drawing a riding whip, she commenced to draw some artistic lines upon his face, remarking at the time that no man could cast reflections upon her character and go unpunished. Whaley sought safety in the sanctuary of the court, and the lady departed. The sermon with which the Rev. George C. Miln astonished his Unitarian congregation, in Chicago, by a renunciation of belief in God or a future life, was a bitter attack on Christianity. Speaking of a general disbelief in a literal hell, he said: "Yet defenders of conservative theology would do well to guard strongly the gates of hell, for when they fall the chief scourge in the hands of the Church has lost its lash. Nay! the system then already totters to its fall; for the foundations of orthodoxy are laid in the bed of hell." As to the doctrine of eternal existence, he admitted its comforting influence, but added: "If I could believe there was a future life, how gladly would I let loose my imagination to picture its possible glories. Not the gentle John himself should beat the air with more eager pinion to reach the gate which I would fain believe opens upon the fields of paradise. But, friends, I cannot afford to deceive you, and so I say that however beautiful the dream may be, the chance of its fulfilment seems to me remote and improbable." He thinks that the churches of a century hence will teach morality for its own sake, and leave the question of a future life to speculation. Mr. Miln was until lately a Congregationalist. The Chicago church which he now gives up was formerly the Rev. Dr. Collyer's. REDUCTION IN PRICES At The DRY GOODS PALACE, OUR NEW STOCK ARRIVED ON THURSDAY. AND IS Now Ready for Inspection.

Although some of nearly every other manuature was destroyed, so far as known every one of the California Mills put up by the undersigned deceased injury. These Mills are so strongly made and so perfectly self regulating that, when properly put up, it is almost impossible for a storm to injure them. It is also superior to other Mills in having ADJUSTABLE STROKE, (4 different lengths) in its ease and noiselessness of its work, in the beauty of its design and finish and in the marvelously low price at which it is sold.
