WEEKLY GAZETTE. SATURDAY...SEPT. 23, 1862 For two weeks past the Postoffice Department at Washington has been receiving complaints from Western Postmasters that farmers have been victimized by a man advertising new amber wheat for planting. The advertiser disappeared before the department could give any order. Various Postmasters have been directed to return to the senders registered letters for him. The Governoratorial campaign in our own State is not peculiarly dull and uninteresting, but in comparison with what the campaign promises to be in Massachusetts it will be found to be inexpressibly dull. For the Democrats of that State have nominated Ben Butler for Governor—he of the strabismic eye and the gentleman who was erstwhile alluded to by those same Democrats as the spoon thief. Butler would give his other eye, if by so doing he could assure his election, and his campaign will not be conducted on milk and water lines. It will be aggressive in the extreme, and woe be unto him who falls afoul of Butler's trenchant tongue. The bloomin' Englishmen across the water are crowing loudly over a series of victories by sea and land which the representatives of that tight little island have wrested from their adversaries. "Tug." Wilson didn't get knocked out; the Oscar Wilde circus scooped an amount of American dollars; Arabi Tasha got well larruped; the American Hillsdale rowing crew were beaten; the international rifle match at Creedmoor was won by the English team; and the English Eleven beat the Americans at cricket at Manchester—the last three victories occurring on the same day. It is no wonder that our cousins are elated over these events. The Supreme Court of San Francisco has rendered a decision which several readers of the Gazette will be very much pleased with. Fruit-Growing. "Will fruit-growing in California be overdone" is a frequently asked question, and among others who have answered it is Mr. La Kue, the President of the State Agricultural Society. In his recent address at the opening of the State Fair he said: "The solicitude upon this question arises out of the fact that the vineyards of the State are rapidly extending. That within a very few years orchards now being planted will come into bearing, from which will be gathered perhaps even twenty times greater yield of fruit than is at present obtained. I beg leave to devote a brief space in this address to some considerations bearing upon this question. The cost of transportation is gradually declining. One of the most marked tendencies of modern times is to abandon the cultivation of all products to the localities where they may be most profitably grown. This tendency is the result of intimate communication between different points of the earth. With the increase of fruit supply from California, there will be a corresponding decrease in the planting of orchards in all the region lying north of the thirtyeth degree of latitude. With the cheapening of supply from this source there will be a decline in the number of orchards planted in that vast and populous region. In the United States alone there are 35,000,000 of people residing in latitudes where the apricot cannot be profitably cultivated. But the fruits of California are not confined to the United States for a market. Europe and even Asia are becoming consumers of our fruits. A like principle is applicable to our vineyards. There is no reason why in the near future California may not be the chief source of wine supply for the world. In addition to this the market for raisins is practically unlimited. The populations of the earth are divided into two general classes known as the rice-eating and the wheat-eating people. The latter class is a large consumer of fruits because a complex and varied civilization demands a variety of human food. I have taken pains to estimate the populations of the earth who reside within the limits of distance for profitable ship- GAR DEN GROUND The election for delegate Commission passed off no votes, and no one would consent to go, but ed.

The Supreme Court of San Francisco has rendered a decision which several readers of the Gazette will be very much pleased with. At the time when the Grange was in the highest favor, an Insurance Company was organized from among the members of the various Granges. They paid some cash and gave an assessable note for the remainder. In due course of time the bubble bursted, and those who had given notes were called upon to pay. Those who did not respond to the call were sued, but the decision of Judge Wilson is in their favor. It was shown that the corporation had only a capital of $5,000 when under the law an insurance company in this State must have a capital of $100,000, of which at least 25 per cent. must be paid up. It follows that the company in question never had a legal right to do business, and therefore it cannot collect on the notes which it holds. A considerable part of one far-off corner of the civilized world—Iceland—is suffering from an appalling famine. The worst of it seems to be that there is no means of getting relief to the starving people from more fortunate regions. The winter of 1880-81 was the severest which the oldest inhabitant remembers, it was followed by a summer in which the usual scanty crops only half matured, and then again by another terrible winter. The consequence of this long continued adversity was the loss of most of the live stock on the island, and, as if to utterly destroy the border population, the dreaded Greenland pack-ice has filled all the western bays and caused the failure of this year's harvest also. The Danish mother country does nothing to aid its suffering children, and the season is now so far advanced that it will be difficult to get supplies to the island from any quarter before destination will have brought many to the grave. Mr. Gibson, the Republican candidate for Railroad Commissioner, having stated in a speech that "he could not imagine a reason why barley should be carried East for $160 per car, and fruit taken over the same road," at the same rate of speed, at $400 per car," the Record-Union soundly berates him for his ignorance. It says that "his education must have been strangely neglected, and it is equally clear that he knows so little about the science of transportation as to be utterly unfit to discuss it." Despite a diffidence to being classed upon the same plane of intellectuality with Mr. Gibson, the Gazette is constrained to say that it can imagine no reason why the railroad company should fruits. A like principle is applicable to our vineyards. There is no reason why in the near future California may not be the chief source of wine supply for the world. In addition to this the market for raisins is practically unlimited. The populations of the earth are divided into two general classes known as the rice-eating and the wheat-eating people. The latter class is a large consumer of fruits because a complex and varied civilization demands a variety of human food. I have taken pains to estimate the populations of the earth who reside within the limits of distance for profitable shipment of fruit, and I find that there are 200,000,000 of people who reside in latitudes where grapes, pears, peaches, plums and apricots cannot be profitably grown. With increased facilities of transportation, with more intimate commercial relations soon to supervene, this vast population will become consumers of these fruits grown in this State. For this and many other reasons I desire to pronounce a deliberate judgment in answer to the question, 'Can fruit-growing be overdone in this State,' and that answer is most decidedly in the negative." Republican Politics. Ed. Gazette: -The question has been asked, "Is the Republican party of Los Angeles controlled by a 'boss'?" From the way it has been run during the present season it seems that it is. The first suspicious action was the manner in which the county was divided for the purpose of electing delegates to the State Convention. The precincts were in some instances widely separated. Members of the party in the different precincts were not acquainted and had no time to consult and learn the wishes of the people, while the city delegation could unite. They did unite and forced the county delegation into a caucus or some kind of an arrangement by which the whole vote of the county was cast for Blake for Governor, while if there had been a county convention the vote of the delegation would have been cast for Estee. But even those who went to the State Convention agreeing to vote for Estee were either cheated out of their votes or bulldozed into voting against him. It is asserted that the delegation was controlled by one man, and it is intimated that the same party controls the action of the County Central Committee, and it is said that he is more anxious for the election of a Democrat for County Recorder than he is for the success of the Republican ticket. It seems to me that it would have been better to have a County Convention and elect delegates to the State Convention, and nominate a county ticket, but the "boss" thought differently. The arrangement regarding our County Convention is not fair or just to the country delegation. Only four days intervene between the election and the convention. The city delegation will meet together and make up their slate, while the country members will have no opportunity for consultation. The delegation from Los Angeles is a visitor returned to Los day. They seemed much pleased at the growth and place since they last ago. About forty people Chico landing on Wednesay joyable time. There will be a sociability of Mr. Dorr B.

Arabi Pasha's troops were defeated in a pitched battle and the arch rebel himself is a prisoner and confined in a British guardhouse. Already the white dove of peace has settled upon the land. Advices from Zagazig, say: The entire population of this part of the country have returned to their homes, and are working in the fields. Every house and hovel floats the white flag. The forbearance of the conquering army has produced a most wholesome effect. All the native property is left untouched. There have been illuminations every night since the arrival of the English troops in honor of the Khedive and England. Arabi Pasha having been declared a rebel, it was thought that his capture would be followed by his instant execution, and that in his final exit he would be accompanied by his chief aidors and abettors. The London Times says, however, that the British Consul-General at Alexandria has been directed to inform the Khedive that no capital sentence passed on the Egyptian leaders must be carried out without the consent of Great Britain. Steps have been taken to obtain the services of a competent English barrister to defend Arabi Pasha and other leaders in the revolt. Lancolx, Neb., Sept. 20.—A vast prairie fire is raging in the western part of the State on the table land between the Platte and Republican rivers, with disastrous effects to the bay and grass. Two men were fatally burned. It burned the heavy cattle ranges in that section, and unless rain comes soon great loss will ensue. Augusta (Me.), Sept. 18th.—Official returns have been received from all the State except six small plantations. The total vote is, 138,175; Robie. (Republican) 72,554; Plaisted, (Fusion) 63,756; Chase, 1,298; Vinton, 262; Eustia, 305. The Republican candidates for Congress are elected by pluralities little in excess of that of the Governor. The Republicans carry 14 of the 16 counties. Of the Senators, 24 are Republicans, and 3 fusion; of Members of the House, 108 are Republicans, 41 Fusionists. Pittsburgh, Pa., September 19th.—The following is the result of the Amalgamated Iron and Steel Association district meetings to-day at Pittaburgh, Wheeling and Youngstown, on the question of rescinding the demand for an advance and accepting the old rate: Pittaburgh, 81 for, 27 against; Youngstown, 48 for, 8 against; Wheeling, 17 for, 13 against. Total, 113 for, 48 against. This virtually ends the strike, which has lasted 116 days. The estimated loss to the men in wages is between $8,000,000 and $10,000,000, that to the manufacturers only contracts. Chicago, Seph. 20.—Sarah Elstone built a fire and deliberately stood over it until she was horribly and fatally burned. A steerage passage from Antwerp to New York, now costs only $20.

The election for delegates to the County Commission passed off quietly. There was no contest and no one could be found who would consent to go, but C. Howe was elected. The voters hoped that the Convention would elect a County Central Committee who would represent the whole people and look after the interest of the party as a whole, and not such a committee as would be controlled by one or two men for their own private ends. Mr. Josh McKelvey has bought forty acres (north of Mr. Ware's place) from the Land Company. He intends to build on it immediately. The contract for building the new school house was awarded to Mr. Roper of Santa Ana, who agrees to complete the building for $2,575. The Johnson place has been sold to a brother of J. D. Chaffee, who will be here in November. Mr. Fernando Chaffee is coming in the spring and his brothers are trying to find a place for him. We will then have five brothers named Chaffee and several more to hear from. A ditch company has been organized and they intend to commence work on Monday next to build a ditch from the Anaheim and Fairview ditch to Garden Grove. It will terminate at the base line three miles south of the Fairview school house. It will be large enough to carry three heads of water. Mr. A. N. McBurney and family from Los Angeles made us a visit this week. The visitors returned to Los Angeles on Thursday. They seemed much surprised and pleased at the growth and improvement in the place since they left here two years ago. About forty people went to the Bolsa Chico landing on Wednesday and had an enjoyable time. There will be a sociable at the residence of Mr. Dorr B. Chaffee on next Tuesday evening, under the direction of the M. E. Church society. Our church has lately been papered and the outside painted. The desk tastefully PACIFIC COAST NEWS. Judge Lindley, formerly of Los Angeles, died at Tombstone on Monday. Wallace Leach, the San Diego lawyer, was recently fined $100 by Judge McNealy for contempt of court. At Santa Maria on Sunday, Patrick Roach was stabbed and killed by Willis Samsell, a gambler. Willie Grigaley, a brakeman, was killed by falling under the cars near Merced on Tuesday. The Democrats have nominated John Wolfskill as their candidate for joint Senator of San Diego and San Bernardino counties. In Trinity county the Republicans have nominated for County Treasurer the Democratic nominee, M. T. Griffin, on account of his official popularity. The Board of Supervisors of San Luis Obispo county offer bounties for the scalps of wild beasts as follows: For California lions, $5; coyotes, $2; wild cats, $1.50. There is an alarming prevalence of fires among the interior towns of this State lately. On Wednesday at Lemoore, Yreka and Gridley, there were disastrous fires. Assistant Chief Engineer Brady, of the San Francisco fire department, was killed while going to a fire on Wednesday by his horse running away. W. F. Williams was caught in the machinery of the flour mill, of which he is superintendent, at San Diego on Thursday morning, and received injuries which are considered fatal by his physicians. Among the San Luis products exhibited at a San Francisco store, is a mammoth cabbage weighing eighty-four pounds and an onion that turns the scale at two-and-a-half pounds. Richard Guthrie of Guadalupe, in attempting to correct a fractious mule, used a board, which the mule kicked. The board struck Guthrie in the bowels, rupturing the descending colon from which he died. LOS ANGELES MARKETS. Corrected weekly for the Gazette by E.

The Tehama County Board of Supervisors has fixed the premium on coyote scalps at $5 each. The farmers and sheep raisers on the east side of the Sacramento River in Tehama county, have agreed to pay $3 additional to the sum offered by the Supervisors. The Mormons have recently purchased a large tract of land at Gila Bend, A. T., on the north side of the river, and a water right which is capable of irrigating from 20,000 to 50,000 acres of farming land. The tract will be arranged to accommodate two settlements, a few miles apart. An explosion occurred at the California Powder Works near Santa Cruz on Tuesday. Rufus W. Tufts was killed. An hour's search failed to find any single member of the body save the head, which, shorn of hair and scalp, was discovered about fifty yards distant from where he stood. A Hanford telegram says: A clear atmosphere shows that our Sierras are almost as white with snow as in winter. Between one and two feet of snow is reported from Mineral King flat, about 800 feet above the sea level. A slight frost nipped our tenderest vegetation in low places last night. Mrs. Boat, wife of ex-Surveyor-General Bost, while attending services at the camp-meeting, at Merced, received a dispatch from Arizona, informing her that her eldest brother, Thomas Fitzhugh, had just been shot dead. She fell in a swoo, and for several hours her life was despaired of, but she is now in a fair way of recovery. The Pacific railways are doing well this year. The earnings of the Central for August and for the eight months ending with that month compare as follows: New York, Sept. 15th.—The British won the International Military rifle match at Creelmoer to-day by the following score: British 1975, Americans 1805. General Hancock was on the ground during the shooting. The people present, when they saw the defeat of the Americans inevitable, turned gallantly to the British and cheered every good shot. READING, Pa., Sept. 18th.—While three boys were rowing on the river last night some one threw a lighted cigar into the water, which was thickly covered with benzine refuse from the gas works. The boat was quickly enveloped by the flames, and the boys jumped overboard. William Speirs had his face and neck badly burned, and may lose his eyesight. The others named Matthew Buckley and Francis Cullen, were seriously burned. Mr. Morse, who has been employed during the past year in visiting vineyards and reporting upon their condition in regard to pests and diseases, has found the phylloxera insect in eleven counties of the State, as follows: Santa Clara, Sonoma, Napa, Solano Yolo Sacramento, San Joaquin, Placer, Amador, Enolumne and Alameda. South of San Jose none of these insects have yet been found. LONDON, Sept. 21.—A meeting convened by the Democratic faction was held here last evening to discuss the proposed introduction of Chinese labor in Great Britain. The meeting called upon the Government to frame a measure to prevent the importation of Chinese labor. Mr. Parr of San Francisco said that if the Chinese came to Great Britain the English workingmen might as well go and die. MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 20.—There was a sharp frost throughout the State last night. The corn was half in shock and almost beyond the reach of harm. The vines were cut down, but the loss from this source was not serious. Sparkling Eyes, Rosy cheeks and clear complexion only accompany good health.

Twenty-seven new cases were bulletined by the Board of Health, but only one death. The number of deaths in proportion to the number of cases is very small. In many instances the disease has been of a mild type. Many colored people are being stricken with fever, and their Association has appealed to their race elsewhere for assistance. The Board of Health has ordered the closing of the rooms occupied by the Southern Express Company, on account of the number of cases of fever that have occurred among the employees there. MEMPHIS (Tenn.), Sept. 19th.—At a meeting of the Convention of the Cotton Exchange, held yesterday afternoon, a committee was appointed to solicit subscriptions for the relief of the sufferers by the yellow fever at Pensacola, Fla. BROWNSVILLE (Texas), Sept. 19th.—Physicians pronounce the quarantine restrictions between here and Matamora as unnecessary. There were twenty-seven new cases yesterday and one death, a Mexican. No Mexicans at Fort-Brown are sick. Those there are doing well. There are a few new cases at Point Isabel, but no deaths there. Matamoraa is now pronounced a healthy city by its eminent physicians, Dra. Chase and McManus. No new cases are reported there, but two deaths since yesterday. Reports of the fever in Mexico are said to be exaggerated. A fatal disease has afflicted the chickens in and about Austin, and many are dying from it. It affects the throat and the muscles of the legs and feet, causing the toes to contract and double up so that the chicken cannot walk. It gasps and mopes for a day or two and dies.

The mantlepiece is entirely of human bones taken from some medical college, and each corner being ornamented with the skulls of men who died in Pioche with their boots on. A San Rafael dispatch says: The vicinity of the patent brick yard located about five miles from here is considerably excited over the finding of treasure by a Chinaman while digging in a clay bank. The amount is variously estimated as between six hundred and a thousand dollars; but as the Celestial has lit out for pastures new, and those who were working with him at the time are reticent, it is impossible to get at the exact amount. It is supposed that the money was buried by a Portuguese sailor who was living in that locality about twelve years ago. J. B. Campbell, the Republican nominee for Sheriff of Sierra county, was shot and instantly killed by a man named Stubba, at Randolph, in Sierra Valley last Friday. The particulars of the murder are, that on account of the excited political canvass, a friend of Campbell, named Cody, had an altercation with Stubba a day or two ago. Campbell sought Stubba to effect a reconciliation. He apparently failed in the effort and turned to walk away, when Stubbs ran behind him and fired without notice, the ball taking effect in his stomach. During the excitement that followed Stubbs escaped. Grange Store, SEYMOUR & JOHNSON, Prop's. Wholesale and retail dealers in STAPLE AND FANCY GROCERIES. BUTTER, CHEESE, TEA AND COFFEE SPECIALTIES.

THE GREAT STORM Of January 12th, 1882, which injured or destroyed scores of Windmills in Los Angeles County proved conclusively that the CALIFORNIA WINDMILL The only one that can stand, uninjured, a heavy life. Although some of nearly every other manufacture was destroyed, so far as known, 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 ADJUSTABLE STROKE (4 different lengths) in the ease and noblesseasness of its work, in the beauty of its design and finish and in the marvelously low price at which it is sold.
