WEEKLY GAZETTE. SATURDAY...OCT. 14, 1852 NOTHING TO FEAR. In his report to the Board of Viticultural Commissioners, Mr. L. J. Rose expresses a fear that in a few years the wine business will be overdone and then "some one will be hurt and disguised, and we will again see vineyards neglected and uprooted, as was the case a few years past in this section." Grapes will become low in price, which will make cheap wines. Cheap wines will open up new markets and create new demands, and in the end the demand will come up to the production." There is no gainsaying these views. If anyone has gone into viticulture with the supposition that the present high prices and brisk demand will continue without fluctuation, he has himself to blame if his estimate is not fully realized. All industries, all pursuits are liable to vicissitudes; and it can be regarded as almost certain that the grape-growing business will, as at periods in the past, be depressed. And it is equally certain that it will rise again, just as we have seen it do in the past few years. Admitting all this, what is there to fear? In what way can the soil be made to produce a greater profit, one year with another, than in grape growing? The present prices of grapes and its products could suffer a savage reduction, and yet viticulture would be as profitable a pursuit as a tiller of the soil could pursue. We beg to add that in our estimation there is less danger to the profits of viticulture from the increasing acreage of vineyards than there is from the action of Congress. That body has late shown a disposition to tamper with the tariff. Among the free trade advocates are men of position, influence and wealth—a powerful trinity of attributes. If these men controlled legislation (and for that power they are striving with "might and main") they would admit the wines and rains of the old world into the markets of America duty free. This would mean the instant and overwhelming Politics in New York. It seems to be "good bye, John" with the Republican party in New York. The eve of a Gubernatorial election sees that party split up and divided into hostile factions, and the Democracy united and aggressive. This is a complete revolution of affairs political in the Empire State, for of late years it was the Republicans who were harmonious and the Democrats who were disunited. For the first time in years Tammany Hall is actively co-operating with the Democracy, and as Republican successes in that State have always been attributed to the Tammany attitude, it is evident that its day of power is over when it meets a harmonious foe, with its own ranks torn by dissensions. The most curious phase of the situation is that Judge Folger, the Republican candidate for Governor, is personally unobjectionable, and his most bitter opponents do not pretend to question his fitness for the office. It is not the man they object to, but the methods by which his nomination was secured. He was the Administration or Stalwart candidate. Opposed to him was the present Governor, Cornell, a Half Breed; but an undeniably able and uncorruptible officer. His adherents were won over by threats, intimidation, promises of reward, by forged proxies and in a hundred other disgusting and questionable ways. Following the adjournment of the Convention, the most influential Republican papers in the State refused to recognize the work of the Convention and called upon Judge Folger to refuse a nomination brought about by means so glaringly corrupt. Not only the press, but individuals preferred the same request. In his letter of acceptance, Judge Folger says: "Persons, some of them holding official relations with the Republican party, and all in good standing in the community, have asked me to decline the nomination. They express confidence in me, and fully acquit me of participation in or a knowledge of that which they hold will justify the action they desire. The acts conceded or alleged to have been done, upon which they base their request, they also concede were wholly the acts of others than me." Judge Folger, however, accepted the nomination, chiefly because his declination would leave the party without a candidate at a time when it would be too late to contest Statistics of Sovereign Grand Ivy which convened at we take the following found of general interest. Columbus, Oct. 14 are coming in slowly everything but a few mates this morning priority in the State at Congressional delegation to 6 Republicans. They lay in the eighteenth in the ninth are in good publicans must carry gressmen. The peculiar test is that while championing temperate vote has greatly increased Chicago, Oct. 14 We beg to add that in our estimation there is less danger to the profits of viticulture from the increasing acreage of vineyards than there is from the action of Congress. That body has or late shown a disposition to temper with the tariff. Among the free trade advocates are men of position, influence and wealth—a powerful trinity of attributes. If these men controlled legislation (and for that power they are striving with "might and man") they would admit the wines and raisons of the old world into the markets of America duty free. This would mean the instant and overwhelming destruction of those industries in this country. The scale being a savior and the codlin moth a blessing in comparison with the ogre of free trade. John Cox, a fruit grower and shipper, has had a trial in the Sacramento Police Court for a violation of the Act of the Legislature of March 4th, 1881, providing for the protection of horticulture and viticulture. Cox had violated the law in not disinfecting his fruit boxes before using them a second time. The testimony of the prosecution showed that the boxes had contained fruit affected by the cooling moth. Professor Dwinielle in his testimony said that the first appearance of this pest occurred near Sacramento in 1874, through some fruit shipped there the year before, for exhibition at the State fair, in which fruit was the cooling moth and larvae. That from this the contagion took root, and is now present in thirty-one counties of this State, making great ravages upon the fruit. That it is to check this that these stringent laws and quarantine regulations have been passed and adopted. It was shown by the evidence that this pest which infects the fruit has a very injurious effect upon the health of those who consume the fruit, either in its natural state, or in the form of cider or wine. That some classes of these pests attack the trees and vines, and have destroyed entire orchards and vineyards. That unless there could be some general action to abate this nuisance, and which could be enforced on all alike, the result would be very destructive to the fruit and vine-growing interests of this State. The defendant was found guilty as charged, and the case has been carried to the Supreme Court which will be called upon to pass upon the constitutionality of the Act under which defendant was convicted. The State Board of Equalization, which was designed by the makers of the State Constitution to be a powerful and automatic body, has been so shorn of its pretensions by the Courts that it is now of comparatively little consequence. Originally, the Bulletin aptly says, it claimed the power to raise or lower individual assessments. With this object in view a large number of citations were issued to prominent taxpayers in various parts of the State. The Supreme Court, however, decided that it could only raise or lower assessments by "Persons, some of them holding official relations with the Republican party, and all in good standing in the community, have asked me to decline the nomination. They express confidence in me, and fully acquit me of participation in or knowledge of that which they hold will justify the action they desire. The acts conceded or alleged to have been done, upon which they base their request, they also concede were wholly the acts of others than me." Judge Folger, however, accepted the nomination chiefly because his declination would leave the party without a candidate at a time when it would be too late to center upon some one else. As it appears at this distance that his election is almost impossible, there is something chivalric in his willingness to go down with his party—more especially as his high position as Secretary of the Treasury must of necessity be given up. One of the humorous phases of the situation is the correspondence between the noted politician, Amos F. Larned, and Rev. Henry Ward Beecher. Last week we quoted the divine's remarks on the situation. They appear to have been displeasing to Larned for he wrote to his reverence: "Dr. Beecher, you made an ass of yourself yesterday. Amos F. Larned." Beecher forthwith replied to this candid statement in no less direct words: "Dear Sir. The Lord saved you the trouble of making an ass of yourself, by making you an ass at the beginning, and His work stands sure." A MISTAKE. Messrs. Tully and Woods, the Democratic and Republican nominee, respectively, for Congress from this District, are remarkably profuse in their promises of what they will do for their constituents if elected to Congress. They both promise to vote in favor of regulating inter-State railroad traffic; and they both charge themselves with the special duty of watching the wily Frenchman and prevent him from getting his wine and brandy into this country duty free, to detriment of the viticultural industries of this county. They both agree that subsidies to corporations must cease, and that the lands granted to such corporations and which have been forfeited by reason of non-compliance with the conditions of the grant, shall be returned to the Government for distribution to actual settlers. In fact, they promise about equally, though candor compels us to confess that Tully is promising not only to see that the Chinese restriction bill is enforced but that the Chinamen already here shall be sent out of the country, got a little ahead of his antagonist in the matter of promises. All these matters are perhaps well enough, but when the gentlemen promise to secure Government appropriations for fortifications for harbors along the southern coast they make a serious mistake. It is becoming altogether too common for Congressmen to devote all their energies to securing appropriations of public moneys for the districts they represent, without regard to the merits preferred same request. In his letter of acceptance, Judge Folger says: "Persons, some of them holding official relations with the Republican party, and all in good standing in the community, have asked me to decline the nomination.

Originally, the Bulletin aptly says, it claimed the power to raise or lower individual assessments. With this object in view a large number of citations were issued to prominent taxpayers in various parts of the State. The Supreme Court, however, decided that it could only raise or lower assessments by counties. This clipped the wings of a Board which aspired to secure control over every individual who paid taxes in the State. If its own ideas had been carried out, it could order a man from San Diego to come before it at Sacramento or be assessed out of all he had. It retained power, however, to assess the railroads without appeal. The Legislature provided a method for reviewing what it did in this respect, but there were some doubts as to the constitutionality of its enactment. The Circuit Court of the United States has recently decided that the railroads have a right to be heard under the Fourteenth Amendment. But the whole case will have to be transferred to the Supreme Court at Washington for final adjudication. Meanwhile there is little left for the Board but to figure out the rate of taxation and draw its per diem. Mr. P. B. Tully makes a very great splurge on a very small capital. From his conversation and speeches one would infer that he had "slathers" of money and things, but the assessment roll of Santa Clara county (his home) shows that he was assessed for a paltry $3070. Gov. Woods, his carpet-bag opponent, so-called, is assessed for $5,265. Verily, politics make demagogues of us all. Buffalo, October 9th.—The officers of the Irish National Land League of America have issued a circular. It says: "The statement which has been made that the Land League no longer exists calls for an emphatic protest. With Farnell and his co-laborers at its head, it will continue till its mission is accomplished. If we are united and hopeful, its final triumph is assured." RALEIGH, N. C., Oct. 9.—The feeling against the Mormons now working in different parts of this State and South Carolina, is daily increasing in bitterness, and the probabilities are that if the request of the people of the afflicted counties be not soon complied with, violence and bloodshed will be the result. A protest is now being freely circulated among the people of York county, South Carolina, and Cleveland county, in this State, denouncing the missionaries from Utah for making disturbances among them and expressing a determination to protect both society and morals at all hazards. The history of Mormonism is briefly told in the protest and the people who have been influenced by the Mormon smissaries are called upon to turn back before ruining themselves and their families.

From the report of the proceedings of the Sovereign Grand Lodge of I. O. O. F., which convened at Baltimore on Sept. 18th, we take the following table, which will be found of general interest: PACIFIC COAST NEWS. The grapes in Sonoma county have been injured by the late rains. Roy Palmer, five years old, son of C. M. Palmer, of San Francisco, was run over by the Geary street cars and instantly killed. J. Hansen, a sailor, shot and killed C. P. Sanders, a boarding-house keeper at San Francisco. It appears to have been a deliberate murder. Martin Johnson and John Russell attempted to board a train near Berkeley on Tuesday and missed their footing, and the result was fatal to one, and nearly so to the other. Both men were intoxicated at the time. Hoene's winery at Windsor, Sonoma county, was destroyed by fire, the total loss being thirty thousand dollars. Mr. Hoene had refused last Saturday to insure the property. It was a clean sweep of his earnings for years. Leland Stanford has hired a palatial residence on Fifth avenue, New York, to which he and his family will remove about the last of the month. While he will remain a registered voter of San Francisco, it is the capitalist's intention to pass the greater portion of his time in Gotham, the metropolis of millionaires. The "boss" advertiser lives in Prescott, A. T., where he keeps a feed yard. He announces in the local paper that at his premises may be found "monolith hay stacks," "celosal grain bins," and "elephantine stables," with other attractions too numerous to mention. He closes his card with the following expressive invitation: "Ho, ye bullwhackers and muleskinners! Come in out of the wet!" Near Alviso (Santa Clara Co.) Sunday morning, as James Dougherty and James Thorpe of San Jose and Frank Tilden of Alviso were hunting ducks, Tilden was killed by the accidental discharge of Dougherty's gun. Dougherty had turned his gun (a breechloader) away from his companions, knowing it was defective, to insert a shell, but as he recoupled it Tilden stepped direct- The Ohio Election. Columbus, Oct. 11.—Additional returns are coming in slowly, as the Republicans are getting no more advice, and concealing everything but a few Congressmen. Estimates this morning put the Democratic majority in the State at 25,000 and make the Congressional delegation stand 15 Democrats to 6 Republicans. The election of McKinley in the eighteenth district and Robinson in the ninth are in great doubt, and the Republicans must carry both to get six Congressmen. The peculiar nature of the contest is that while the Republicans were championing temperance, the prohibition vote has greatly increased. Chicago, Oct. 11.—A Times' Dayton are getting no more advices and conceding everything but a few Congressmen. Estimates this morning put the Democratic majority in the State at 25,000 and make the Congressional delegation stand 15 Democrats to 6 Republicans. The election of McKinley in the eighteenth district and Robinson in the ninth are in great doubt, and the Republicans must carry both to get six Congressmen. The peculiar nature of the contest is that while the Republicans were championing temperance, the prohibition vote has greatly increased. Chicago, Oct. 11.—A Times' Dayton special says: The Republicans in this part of the State and the Third Congressional District have experienced an unprecedented Waterloo. The Democrats have elected everything from the top to the bottom of the ticket. This county (Montgomery) which gave a Democratic majority of 90 in the Foster campaign last fall runs up the figures to 1,900, a net gain of 1,700. Miami county shows up with a small Republican gain, not exceeding fifteen. Preble county reports the same state of affairs. R. M. Murray's majority, the Democratic candidate for Congress, will be not less than 200. The Democratic gain for this county over the election for Secretary of State in 1881 is 922. The latest advice from Miami county indicate a Democratic gain of 300, which will make Murray's majority, 500. This is from Democratic sources. Chicago, Oct. 12.—A Columbus special to the Journal says: The official returns that have come in indicate that the Democratic majority in the State will not exceed 20,000. For Congressmen the outlook is depending upon the vote in the Seventh and Twelfth Districts, both of which are probably Democratic. Without these two districts the delegation stands 14 Democrats and 5 Republicans. Cincinnati, Oct. 12.—The Times-Star's special report says that Hart (Republican) is elected by twenty-seven majority, and in the 18th, McKinley (Republican) is elected by seven majority. The End of the World. New York, October 9th.—The World's London cable says: The comet is all the talk in scientific circles at present, and it is being regarded with considerable apprehension. Richard A. Proctor, who denied that it was the comet of 1843 and 1880, now finds that he made a mistake in his calculations, and so has withdrawn his statement. More cautious astronomers than he have no doubt of the identity of the comet, and believe that it will return, at the latest, in October, 1883, and will then fall into the sun, with results which will enable us to dispense with the future publication of the newspapers of the world. I am assured that this is the opinion of the most eminent scientists of the day, C. Piazzi Smythe, the clever Astronomer Royal for Scotland, in particular, having made no secret of his belief that the end of the world is at hand. Columbus, Ga., Oct. 11.—Information has reached here of a contemplated rising of the negroes in Lee county, Alabama. A number blues," with other attractions too numerous to mention.

Sunday morning, as James Dougherty and James Thorpe of San Jose and Frank Tilden of Alviso were hunting ducks, Tilden was killed by the accidental discharge of Dougherty's gun. Dougherty had turned his gun (a breechloader) away from his companions, knowing it was defective, to insert a shell, but as he recoupled it Tilden stepped directly in front, and at that instant the gun was discharged. The load entered his left side and he died without speaking. Political Chaff. When Stoneman was nominated, the Democracy were boasting that he would carry every county of Southern California. But it is now conceded that he has not the remotest chance of carrying his own county Los Angeles—and it is doubtful whether he will not lose every county in the San Joaquin valley, except Stanislaus.-S. F. Post. Stoneman's election by a large majority is assured. The pop-gun warfare made against him has helped rather than hurt him. It has been made manifest that the opposition has no serious charges to urge against him. His life has been honest and honorable, and the people believe in him. We might as well begin calling him Governor at once.-S. F. Examiner. The Prohibitionists have nominated Dr. R. H. McDonald, for Governor. The Doctor is the proprietor of the well known "Vinegar Bitters," and we have the word of those who have used it, that its effects on them was more deleterious than whisky. The secret of the nomination is supposed to lie in the fact that the prohibition of the sale of alcoholic stimulants would help the sale of "Vinegar Bitters." Isn't it funny?—Commercial. The so-called Farmers' Convention which met at Stockton last week offered a curious illustration of inconsistency. It professed to be "anti-monopoly," and yet when a resolution denouncing land monopoly was introduced, it utterly refused even to give it a respectful hearing. General Stoneman once proposed that second class fare be fixed at 60 per cent. of first-class rates. Upon being informed that existing rates were already less than 60 per cent., Stoneman immediately proposed 50 per cent. Recently Cone offered a resolution fixing the maximum for fares at 4 cents per mile; Stoneman at once proposed 3 cents. Stoneman evidently thinks that the highest anti-railroad reputation will be knocked down to the lowest bidder.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 11th. — The Smithsonian Institute has received from the Academy of Vienna the announcement of the discovery of a comet by Schmidt, at Athens, on the 5th of October. Lewis Swift of Dr. Warner's New York observatory, says that the new comet discovered by Dr. Schmidt, at Athens, is unquestionably a fragment of the great comet broken off at its perihelion passage. This proves that the great comet must have grazed the sun, and hence passed through a terrible erisis. This is the second instance on record where a comet has been disrupted, the first one being Biela's comet of 1846. LONDON, Ont., Oct. 9th. — Thirty persons have been poisoned here from eating head cheese manufactured by the local butchers. The physicians attribute the trouble to bristles being chopped up with the skin of the pork, causing irritation of the stomach's inner coating, and producing spasms and vomiting. Some of the sufferers are very low, but it is supposed that all will recover. PINE BLUFF, Ark., Oct. 11th. — Daniel Camp, a well known planter, died from the effects of carelessly eating a watermelon which he had poisoned for the benefit of others, who made invasions on his patch. Three of his children also partook and are likely to die. PANAMA, Oct. 11. — An Indian from San Blas district, on the Atlantic, brings a report that on Sept. 17th, the day the earthquake occurred here, there were four tidal waves which overwhelmed six or seven little villages on the island and mainland and drowned about seventy persons. Columbus, Ga., Oct. 11. — Information has reached here of a contemplated rising of the negroes in Lee county, Alabama. A number of families have fled to this city and points near here for protection. A trustworthy negro gave the information. The intention of the negroes is to burn houses and massacre the whites on Friday or Saturday. The trouble is said to have grown out of a disturbance caused by a negro shooting a white man some weeks since. The wildest excitement is said to prevail all over Lee county. NEW YORK, Oct. 11. — On Fourteenth street this afternoon, when the street was the most crowded with shoppera, a demented Frenchman ran a muck through the thoroughfare and with a pair of sharp-pointed carpenter's compasses stabbed right and left, the victims all being women. Several were seriously, perhaps mortally, wounded. LYNCHBURO (Virginia), Oct. 12. — Reports from Pittsburgh county state that the ravages of diphtheria in certain localities have reached an alarming extent. Nearly 200 deaths occurred within 60 days, and not a family escaped. WHEELING, W. Va., Oct. 11. — Returns show increased gains for the Republicans in this Congressional District. General Goff's majority for Congress is estimated as high as 1,000 by sanguine reports. Democrats concede his election. A Varied Performance. Many wonder how Parker's Ginger Tonic can perform such varied cures, thinking it essence of ginger, when in fact it is made from many valuable medicines which act beneficially on every diseased organ.

GOODMAN & RIMPAU 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 manufature 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 storm to injure them. It is also superior to other Mills in having an ADJUSTABLE STROKE (a different length) 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. I will furnish these Mills with Pumps and Tanks, and set them up in complete running order at the lowest possible rates. For further particulars call upon or address S. H.
