WEEKLY GAZETTE. County Official Paper. SATURDAY...MARCH 18, 1882 Senator Edmunds having declined to accept what Conkling wouldn't have, the President has nominated S. Blatchford of New York to be Associate Justice of the Supreme Court. There is no doubt as to the affection entertained by British subjects for their Queen, but that they are fond of their little joke, even at the expense of royalty itself, is evidenced by their calling Victoria "Mother Brown" in jocular reference to her Scotch gillie of that name, who is her body-guard whenever she appears in public, and for whom she entertains a great liking. The French Senate after discussing the Compulsory Primary Education bill on Tuesday, rejected it by 167 to 123. An amendment was offered by Jules Simon requiring schoolmasters to teach pupils their duty toward God and the country. This amendment was voted by the Senate before the last Senatorial election but was rejected by the Deputies. All points of the State have not been as fortunate as this section in the matter of wet weather. At Bakersfield, for instance, instead of rain they had five days during which heavy winds and sandstorms prevailed, doing great damage to property and crops. At San Mateo on Wednesday, a tornado proved very destructive, and high winds prevailed at many other points. In the Senate last week a bill was passed, by a vote of 34 to 14, creating a commission "to inquire into intemperance." The bill provides for the appointment of a Commission of seven persons, to hold office not exceeding two years, who shall investigate the alcoholic liquor traffic, its relation to revenue and taxation, and its general economic and criminal, moral and scientific aspects in con- THE GHOULS AT WORK. When Blaine prepared his tribute to Garfield, he little thought that a comparatively obscure and unimportant passage would be seized upon by the men who hated Garfield living, and who hate him dead, as a means of blackening his fame. In his eulogy he referred to Chicamauga and the parts taken in that battle by Rosecrans and Garfield. A few hours after the eulogy had been spoken, Rosecrans furnished the Associated Press with a card denying the truth of the facts as stated by Blaine. In a few days after, the Washington Post had a communication from Chauncey I. Filley who also took issue with Blaine, and endeavored to prove that Garfield was "a coward, hypocrite and sneak," and that at the very time when he was publicly proclaiming himself a personal and political friend of Rosecrans, he was secretly writing defamatory letters about him, and was the real cause of his removal from the command of the Army of the Cumberland. The next move was the publication in the New York Sun of a letter from Garfield to Governor Chase, dated July 27th, 1863. In this letter the writer complains of Rosecrans' dilatory movements, criticises his military ability, and points out serious blunders on the part of the General. During the last Presidential campaign the charge of treachery to Rosecrans upon the part of Garfield was made, and it was one of the few charges which Garfield replied to. He denied it emphatically. Then was the time to produce the above letter; and that it was not then produced. goes far to prove that it had not then been written—that it is a forgery. There is in this whole proceeding something ghoul-like. It is the most indecent manifestation of political degradation that has ever been witnessed. When Garfield was alive, he successfully withstood the attacks of his enemies and they were crushed, humiliated and beaten as often as they found courage to attack him. His conflicts with the stalwarts secured him their undying hate, and it is that element of the Republican party which has raised the brutal, beastly discussion which is now the topic of the hour. It is all nonsense to affirm that they bring this thing forward to vindicate Rosecrans. What do they care for him?

We give it his immediate impossible to go from without going considerate Where's Paty? In the Senate last week a bill was passed, by a vote of 34 to 14, creating a commission "to inquire into intemperance." The bill provides for the appointment of a Commission of seven persons, to hold office not exceeding two years, who shall investigate the alcoholic liquor traffic, its relation to revenue and taxation, and its general economic and criminal, moral and scientific aspects in connection with pauperism, crime, social vice, public health and the general welfare, and who shall inquire into the principal results of license and prohibitory legislation. The Commission are to serve without salary, and are to make their report within eighteen months. Patrick Barry has been sentenced to fourteen years imprisonment in the State prison. His crime was perjury in swearing that, in the affray between Charles De Young and Isaac M. Kalloch, the former fired the first shot. This, we believe, is the third person who has been convicted of perjury in making similar statements, and yet the murderer was cleared because of such testimony. And, by the way, we notice that I. M. Kalloch has been admitted to practice in the San Francisco Courts on producing a certificate from the Kansas Courts and giving evidence of good moral character! The Senate has passed two important bills—one to restrict Chinese immigration, and the other the anti-polygamy bill introduced by Edmunds, and which was published in full in the Gazette a few weeks ago. A telegram from Salt Lake thus describes the scene in that city on the receipt of the news of the passage of the bill: "There is great excitement in this city. The people who have waited twenty years for help from the Government, can hardly realize that action has been taken, and to-day men hugged each other on the streets for joy. The young Mormons are equally elated and favor the bill. They have been kept in the background for years by the old graybeards, and chafe under the restraint. They now talk openly in favor of a new deal and snap their fingers in the faces of the old heads of the church. None of the young people have ever favored polygamy. To-night there is a meeting of the High Council, and it is rumored that there will be a split in the church. On receipt of the news the Tribune office issued an extra and hoisted the American flag over the building. Three years ago the same office was barricaded and filled with armed men while the priests were preaching in the Tabernacle and advocating its demolition. The people of Utah feel to-day as did the negroes of the South when the emancipation proclamation was issued." The Supreme Court has declared the Sunthing ghoul-like. It is the most indecent manifestation of political degradation that has ever been witnessed. When Garfield was alive, he successfully withstood the attacks of his enemies and they were crushed, humiliated and beaten as often as they found courage to attack him. His conflicts with the stalwarts secured him their undying hate, and it is that element of the Republican party which has raised the brutal, beastly discussion which is now the topic of the hour. It is all nonsense to affirm that they bring this thing forward to vindicate Rosecrans. What do they care for him? He is a Democrat, they are (more's the pity) Republicans. Rosecrans is nothing to them. He is nothing to nobody. He proved a failure as a General, a politician and as a land-grabber, as witness his attempt to gobble up some of the public lands in this county. It is, however, fitting that his honor should be defended by broken-down politicians, star-ronte thieves and others of that ilk. THE ANTI-HORSE THIEF ASSOCIATION. Editor Gazette. — I wish to say a word or two in favor of forming immediately at Anaheim an anti-horse-thief association. Indeed it would be well to have branches of such a society in every village and settlement in the county. The copious rains of the last few days insure good feed in a couple of weeks, and then we may look to our horses, if some steps are not taken to guard them. The fact of such a society being organized and ready for immediate work will be of itself sufficient to deter most horse-thieves from their calling. Since the organization of the Riverside society, two years ago, I believe there has not been a horse stolen from the settlement, while before that such acts were quite common. I have myself for some time past been agitating the formation of such a society in my vicinity, and if Mr. Wartenberg only goes ahead with his design, I think he can succeed without much trouble. I have talked with several on the subject and all without exception favored it. Mr. Wartenberg may put down my name on his list and count on any assistance in my power. I would suggest that a meeting be called at once of those interested, that immediate steps be taken to guard our property from the thieves that are now only waiting for the grass to get a little higher before raiding on us. Not a day should be lost till such an organization is effected. Respectfully, Horseowner. A GOOD SUGGESTION. ANAHEIM, CAL., March 16, 1882.

Justice Thornton delivered the opinion, which was concurred in by Chief Justice Morrison and Justices Myrick and McKee. A dissenting opinion was given by Justices McKinstry, Ross and Sharpstein. The sections of the Penal Code held to be constitutional are as follows: Section 299. Every person who, on the Christian Sabbath, gets up, exhibits, opens, or maintains, or aids in getting up, exhibiting, opening, or maintaining any bull, bear, cock or prize sight, horse race, circus, gambling house, or saloon, or any barbarous and noisy amusement, or who keeps, conducts, or exhibits any theatre, melodeon, dancecellar, or other place of musical, theatrical, or dramatic performance, spectacle, or representation where any wines, liquors, or intoxicating drinks are bought, sold, used, drank, or given away, or who purchases any ticket of admission, or directly or indirectly pays any admission fee to or for the purpose of witnessing or attending any such place of amusement, spectacle, performance or representation, is guilty of a misdemeanor.

Sec. 301. The provisions of the preceding section do not apply to persons who, on Sunday, keep open hotels, boarding-houses, barber shops, baths, markets, restaurants, taverns, livery stables, or retail drug stores, for the legitimate business of each, or such manufacturing establishments as are usually kept in continued operation. A GOOD SUGGESTION. ANAHEIM, CAL., March 16, 1882. EDITOR GAZETTE:—The time for the commencement of the construction of the great reservoir is fast approaching and before actual steps are taken in the matter it seems to me that the stockholders of the Anaheim Water Company should have some definite data before them as to the cost of construction. Now, I would suggest—experience teaching us that estimates are not always reliable—that another survey be made of the site of the proposed reservoir by some competent engineer other than Mr. Miller, and that on such re-survey the engineer prepare an estimate of cost. By comparing his figures with Mr. Miller's, the stockholders of the Water Company will be able to get a true idea of what they are undertaking. The expense of what I suggest will be but trifling say $100, a sum insignificant when the magnitude of the enterprise and the necessity of having reliable data to work on are considered. Yours, &c., STOCKHOLDER. WASHINGTON, March 16th.—The House passed a bill appropriating $150,000 for the relief of the sufferers by the Mississippi floods and for strengthening the levees. Judge Blatchford has accepted the Supreme Justiceship. Rosecrans was chosen Chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee; also Chairman of the Executive Committee. Representative Flower was elected member of the Executive Committee, and he and General Rosecrans are empowered to designate the other five members. The Senate confirmed the nominations of John Russell Young, of New York, Minister to China, and C. A. Logan, of Illinois, Minister to Chile. One of the theatrical managers of San Francisco has closed a contract with Oscar Wilde, the apostle of estheticism and sunflowers, to visit California on a lecturing tour. Dates are not yet fixed, but Wilde is expected to start West soon. GARDEN GROVE ITEMS. We have had here since Sunday afternoon over two and a half inches of rain. This is a great addition to our prospects. Farmers, instead of teeling bine and despondent, are more than jubilant. Those who were going to let their soil lie idle are now confident that they can raise a corn crop. Alfalfa seed is in great demand. The acreage already planted to this crop is very large, but now hundreds of acres will be planted during this month and April. Those parties who were formerly squatters but who now own an interest in the Santa Ana grant are anxiously awaiting the decision of the Secretary of the Interior regarding the dividing line between the two ranchos. Until this question is finally settled, a large portion of Westminster township lies idle and unproductive. If the decision is made soon it will make large crops this season. It makes no difference which way it is decided. The land company are making no sales because parties are afraid of the title, and those who would improve the land cannot get possession of it. Our sociable on Tuesday evening was a complete success, and all who attended it seemed to enjoy it. It is hoped that they will occur oftener and on moonlight nights. M. A. Ward, the well-boring expert, obtained a three and a-half inch flowing well for Mr. J. S. Deming. He will commence one for Mr. J. Beatty on next Monday, weather permitting. Contractor Hannon will soon commence to build a house for Mr. Dorr B. Chaffee on the land he purchased from Mr. McCrindle. Mr. Harmon contemplates building several tanks for storing water raised from artesian wells by wind power. Those who are constructing the ditch from Fairview to Garden Grove are meeting with good success. In one place about three quarters of a mile below the Fairview school house they were compelled to raise the sides of the ditch two or three feet above the ground to cross a low place. This has made a dam across the swail, or water course. In the road the water is very deep and is almost impassable. We hope Mr. Paty will give it his immediate attention or it will be impossible to go from here to the depot without going considerably out of the way. Where's Paty? NEMO. CAN THESE THINGS BE? If Denis Kearney's reputation for truth and veracity was fairly good, the following speech, which he delivered at the sand lot on Sunday last, would give tea-drinkers unpleasant sensations: "In conversation with some Custom House night inspectors a short time since, they told me that the Chinese cooks employed on the steamers running out of and into this port, and I suppose, for that matter, every other port on this coast, saved all of the tea-leaves. These night inspectors have seen them pack off sackful after sackful at the end of every trip to Chinatown. When I lived out on Pine street I saw a Chinaman picking up the tea-leaves that my wife threw into the ash barrel. It never occurred to me at the time what he did with them. But when I heard the story of the night inspectors I grew somewhat inquisitive and went to investigating. After a thorough search I became convinced that the Chinese cooks and servants employed in hotels, hightoned families, steamships and restaurants are instructed by their "bosses," the Six Chinese Companies, to save all of the tea-leaves they can get hold of and ship them to Chinatown. I remember when I was mate on the steamer Senator we picked up along the southern coast ports on one trip some seven or eight sacks of tea-leaves consigned to a Chinese firm in this city. A little matter coming to my attention the other day, caused me to remember the foregoing, and now that another attempt is being made to "Boycott" the employers of Chinese, as well as those who patronize them, it would be well to call the attention of our people to the fact that for years these Chinese scavengers, full of small-pox, leprosy, greasy and dirty, have been gathering up the refuse teas. While those employed in heightened families, hotels, etc., have saved all they could lay their hands on and taken them to Chinatown, where they have been worked over and colored with Prussian-blue, copper and other poisonous matters to give them the beautiful green appearance which a great many people in this city think is the natural color of tea. This tea thus mixed is done up again and sold under the names of "Young Hyson," "Oolong," "Diamond L," and a number of names well known to the general tea-drinker public. CURIOUS CASE OF CREDULITY The most sentimental item published in the San Francisco papers lately is the account of the arrest of Mrs. Fannie Clark and her mother, Mrs. Julia Taylor, on a charge of conspiracy to defraud. The story is of more than usual interest to people here from the fact that the defendants lived here for many years. Briefly stated, the case is this: The defendants were arrested upon a charge of conspiracy to defraud Mrs. Erna Bennett out of certain personal property, and the story of the prosecuting witness is a remarkable one. According to her statement she made the acquaintance of the defendants in a boarding-house kitchen, where they met while preparing meals. After this acquaintance had ripened somewhat she was informed by Mrs. Clark that a gentleman of high rank and great wealth had seen and taken a great liking to her (Mrs. Bennett), and desired to form her acquaintance. She was informed that this gentleman bore the title of the Duke of Leicester, that he was of advanced age, and that he was residing in this country under the name of Dr. George Logan, as he had reasons for concealing his rank. Before a meeting could be arranged Mrs. Bennett was told that the Duke had gone to Vallejo, where he had contracted the mumps, measles and chicken-pox all at once; and when it became time for him to recover from this complication of diseases he was opportunely smitten with a plague of boils, which of course kept him indoors. In short Mrs. Bennett never did succeed in seeing the Duke, but he wrote her many letters, all of which, according to her own statement, "expressed love of the highest type," and these letters were delivered to her by Mrs. Clark, who acted as the go-between throughout. In this way it was finally arranged that she was to marry the Duke as soon as he was well. It seems that he was not only a Duke, but an Earl and a Lord too, and, what is somewhat singular, he had a seat in the House of Commons as well as in the House of Lorda. He was enormously rich, and a great number of boxes of clothing, silverware, jewelry, etc., were said to be on the way from England, whence also many members of the aristocracy were traveling, on their way to the wedding Mrs. Bennett came back had but one passing owl Those who are constructing the ditch from Fairview to Garden Grove are meeting with good success. In one place about three quarters of a mile below the Fairview school house they were compelled to raise the sides of the ditch two or three feet above the ground to cross a low place. This has made a dam across the swail, or water course. In the road the water is very deep and is almost impassable. We hope Mr. Paty will give it his immediate attention or it will be impossible to go from here to the depot without going considerably out of the way. Where's Paty? WESTMINSTER ITEMS. Owing to scarcity of items worth mentioning, our letter of last week was omitted. Everybody since the rain of two weeks ago has been very busy with spring work, trimming vines, setting out trees, and in different ways taking advantage of the fine condition of the soil. The rainfall from Sunday the 12th to date of writing, the 15th, evening, has been very near 2½ inches. The Congregational concert and entertainment was well rendered and satisfactory in every respect. The Band of Hope will hold an interesting meeting this afternoon. All friends of the society are invited. Admission free. The Ladies Social Society will hold their next social on May Day, at the Landing. Ice cream and other refreshments will be provided. Miss Birdie Leffler, who has been visiting at Los Angeles and Pasadena, has returned. Miss Mary King, who has been attending school in Los Angeles, is home for a few days visiting her family who in a short time are going to Lake County where Mr. King is at the present time preaching. Mr. Craig is moving his buildings from here to Orange, where he has purchased a place and will reside. OF INTEREST TO HUNTERS. The close season for game began on Wednesday. The Sections of the Code having reference to the matter are here given: Every person who, in any of the counties of this State, between the fifteenth day of March and the fifteenth day of September, in each year, hunts, pursues, takes, kills or destroys quail, partridges or grouse, or any kind of duck, or rail, or marsh hens, is guilty of a misdemeanor. Every person who, in the State of California, between the first day of January and the first day of July, in each year, hunts, pursues, takes, kills or destroys doves, is guilty of a misdemeanor. Every person who, at any time, gathers or destroys the eggs of any mallard, wood, or summer duck, redhead, teal, gadwell, or gray duck, or any other species of wild duck, is guilty of a misdemeanor. Every person who shall have any of the aforesaid game, or any male deer or buck, or any female deer or doe, or any antelope elk, or moun- Geo. F. Baker, State Senator from Santa Clara county, died in San Francisco last Saturday morning from blood poisoning. Chief Crowley of San Francisco has issued orders for police captains to enforce the Sunday law and arrest all who may violate the law. Thomas Phillips, a stevedore, fell from a vessel which he was loading at San Francisco and struck a fender lying alongside. His neck was broken. Mr. Buell, father of E. C. Buell of Little Lake, attempted to commit suicide last week by cutting his throat. He inflicted a serious but not dangerous wound. He is 79 years of age, helpless and nearly blind. In the Sacramento city election, on Wednesday, a light vote was cast, only about three thousand five hundred votes being polled. The Republicans elect Chief of Police Matt Karcher, City Attorney W. A. Anderson, the Fire Commissioners, J. T. In this way it was finally arranged that she was to marry the Duke as soon as he was well. It seems that he was not only a Duke, but an Earl and a Lord too, and what is somewhat singular, he had a seat in the House of Commons as well as in the House of Lords. He was enormously rich, and a great number of boxes of clothing, silverware, jewelry, etc., were said to be on the way from England, whence also many members of the aristocracy were traveling on their way to the wedding. Mrs. Bennett appears to have had but one passing qualm of doubt during all the time these things were being told her, and that was when she was informed that the Duke had had one of her photographs colored, and had sent it to Queen Victoria in the pride of his heart. When she was asked for various articles of clothing such as shawls, comforters, wristlets, etc., for the Duke's use, she supplied them cheerfully, and in all appears to have furnished some sixty dollars' worth of personal property in this way. The Duke continued to write letters expressing "love of the highest type," and poor Mrs. Bennett continued to read them over until, as she stated to the Court, she had "learned them by heart." And so profound was her faith in the existence of the invisible Duke that even after she had made her complaint against her false friend, she wrote a letter to Vallejo addressed to "the Duke of Leicester," and was very much surprised when the Postoffice authorities returned it with the indorsement that no such person resided there. An examination into the case by the Police Judge resulted in the discharge of both defendants on the ground that it was evident that Mrs. Taylor knew nothing about the matter, and it required more than one person to enter into a conspiracy. Mrs. Clark, however, was arrested immediately upon a charge of obtaining goods under false pretenses, and is in jail awaiting trial. The Bulletin of Tuesday furnishes the sequel: "In Police Court Number One this afternoon, Mrs. Fannie Clark, through whom 'Duke of Leicester' made love to Mrs. Etna Bennett, and who is alleged to have obtained by false pretenses some $60 worth of shawls, pebble eye glasses, woolen wristlets, etc., from Mrs. Bennett, appeared for trial. A jury was empanneled and aworn, and the Prosecuting Attorney read the complaint which alleged that the offense was committed 'on or about March 15, 1882.' This error having been noticed by the Prosecuting Attorney, the prosecution knew not what to do. But the attorney for the defense having previously seen the error, was prepared to take advantage of it, and had induced the prosecution to accept the first twelve men drawn on the jury. These having been sworn, the defendant was on her trial, and there was no chance to amend the defect in the complaint. The only thing for the Court to do was to dismiss the jury and discharge the defendant from custody. This, New York, March 10.—U. S. Commissioner Shields to-day gave a decision refusing to give naturalization papers to Hop Sing, a Chinaman who applied for them yesterday. Hop Sing said he owned part of a silver mine in Nevada and had been in this country for several years. The Commissioner based his refusal upon the decision of Judge Sawyer in a like case, who held that the applicant was not a free white person within the meaning of the statute. New York, March 7th.—Sergeant Mason was sentenced to a dishonorable discharge, loss of all his allowances, and imprisonment at hard labor in the Albany penitentiary for eight years. General Hancock approves of the sentence. Mr. Buell, father of E. C. Buell of Little Lake, attempted to commit suicide last week by cutting his throat. He inflicted a serious wound. He is 79 years of age, helpless and nearly blind. In the Sacramento city election, on Wednesday, a light vote was cast, only about three thousand five hundred votes being polled. The Republicans elect Chief of Police Matt Karcher, City Attorney W. A. Anderson, the Fire Commissioners, J. T. Griffiths and S. J. Jackson. The Democrats elect the third City Trustee, William Guttenberger. At Jacksonville, Ogn., on Sunday night, ten or twelve masked men rode into Linkville, where H. C. Laws, charged with murder, was in the custody of Deputy Sheriff J. F. Lewis and Justice Wright awaiting examination. The officers were in Greenman's Hotel with the prisoner when the lynchers entered and were ordered to halt. The lynchers refused, and Lewis fired his revolver, wounding one of the party slightly. The lynchers returned the fire, killing the Deputy Sheriff and wounding Justice Wright. They then left without taking Laws. The case absorbing most interest in the Circuit Court at Port Townsend is one in which—a young man named McDermott brought an action to recover $2000 damages for bodily injury. About two months ago McDermott endeavored to abduct the daughter of a minister, promising marriage. He succeeded in taking the young lady a short distance from her parents' residence, but was overtaken and severely thrashed by friends of the family. He placed his injuries at the amount named, but the jury gave a verdict for the defendant. The New York Tribune of Wednesday says: Congress may make laws not to let any more Chinamen come to this country, but everybody needs to understand plainly that those who are here must be well treated. One person who probably realizes this is Patrolman John Brady, who was dismissed from the police force yesterday for having beaten a Chinaman recently, and held him while two young ruffians cut off the inoffensive foreigner's queue. At the charter election in Salinas on Monday two tickets were voted for, and notwithstanding the storm quite a large vote was polled. The issue was between those favoring the enforcement of the Sunday law and those opposed to it. The temperance men elected but one man, J. P. Raymond, Councilman in the Second ward. At the Oakland city election on Monday all the Republican candidates were elected by majorities ranging from 383 for Mayor to 1,629 for Superintendent of schools. To the Public.

Hippolyte Cahen, Selling Out. Notice. As I anticipate making some changes in my business, I will from this day sell all my stock of Drygoods at Cost. Groceries at lowest market rates. Center Street, Anaheim, Cal. Being satisfied that the credit business is detrimental both to the merchant and consumer, I have positively resolved to stop it after the 1st day of September, 1881, and confine myself to a strictly cash basis. For this purpose I will sell goods at the lowest market rates possible, for Cash or Produce, and feel assured that it will be for the benefit of all parties. Thanking my customers for their liberal patronage in the past, I would respectfully solicit a continuance of the same in the future. All persons knowing themselves to be indebted to me will please come forward and make a settlement at their earliest convenience.

THE GREAT STORM Of January 12th, 1882, which injured or destroyed scores of Windmills in Los Angeles County proved conclusively that the California Windmill is the only one that can stand, uninjured, a heavy gale. Although some of nearly every other manufacture was destroyed, so far as known every one of the California Mills put up by the undersigned escaped 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 an ADJUSTABLE STROKE. (4 different lengths) in the 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.
