WEERLY GAZETTE SATURDAY...FEB.14,1835 SUBSCRIPTION. per year, $2. The man who discovered one of the richest alley scenes in Leadville received $40,000 for his find, and the two purchasers made a million dollars each within a year. The discoverer applied recently for a night's lodging on a Leadville station house. Such are the mutations of fortune. Some of the Republican leaders in the legislature believe that the State needs no legislation this session, and they are gradually molding the blossom of their party followers in this view. They say good party policy requires that a dozen schemes to establish Inspectors and Commissions now be laid both House should be beaten. Loud Charles Beresford is a fighter from the headwaters of Bitter creek. He is always looking for a row and generally succeeds in finding one. The war in Soudan has again given him an opportunity to distinguish himself, and the rescue of the belegnured troops under Col. Wilson, in the face of a galling fire from the enemy, able to his lair. The low distrusts which Beresford's pagacious qualities sometimes lead him to engage in are condoned by the heroism he has often displayed when occasion required. The Internal Revenue system is unpopular in every country, and always has been. Even in the days of Bobby Barnes, that bard was frowned upon because of his connection with the tax gatherer. At Jahco, Mexico, last week, the people testified their dislike of the system in a very vigorous way. A secret agent of the Revenue Stamp Department attempted to act the spy. He bought a package of cigarettes without a stamp from a poor tradesman. Upon attempting to seize the man's goods the agent was seized by the populace, doused in the public fountain, and afterward tarred and feathered and paraded through the streets, accompanied by a brass band. There is an ass by the name of McMurray who has introduced in the Legislature a bill requiring that the annual recurrence of Shrove Tuesday shall be celebrated by a Mardi Gras festival according to the method. THE COUNTY INVISION HELD. Through the courtesy of Representative Flamel we are enabled to print today the bill to create the county of Orange, which was introduced in the Legislature by Mr. Glashan of Nevada at the request of Edward of Santa Ana. To them who favor county division there is nothing in the bill specially objectionable except the very important section which defines the boundaries of the proposed new county. In fixing upon these boundaries, valuing ambition has been allowed to overreach itself, and the whole scheme of county division endangered by the conscience selfishness so plainly evident. A rich, fertile and populous section of country has been discarded for no other apparent reason than to make assurance doubly sure that Santa Ana would secure the county seat. If no better reason can be added for county division than that some particular town will be benefited by securing the location of the county seat, the whole project ought to fail. If the good of the majority of the people of the proposed new county is the object aimed at, the boundary lines should be placed according to the dictates of reason and common sense. And to prevent any misconstruction of our position in this matter we desire to say that we can conceive no combination of circumstances which would result in Anaheim securing the county seat. The boundaries we would like to see established would certainly have no effect in determining the location. We object to the boundaries as proposed because the territory embraced is too small, and because it leaves out, without reason, a population and a section of country which ought of right to be included, and which would assist very materially in keeping the tax rate within reasonable limits. If the boundary of the proposed new county was the New San Gabriel river, thence northeast to about the center of Township 2 South and thence east to the boundary line between Los Angeles and San Bernardino counties, we would without a murmur join the procession of those who want county division. As it is, we think we voice the opinions of the people of this vicinity in expressing opposition to the bill. AN ACT TO CREATE THE COUNTY OF ORANGE, TO ESTABLISH THE BOUNDARIES THEREOF, AND TO PROVIDE FOR ITS ORGANIZATION. The People of the State of California, represented in Senate and Assembly, do enact as follows: There shall be chosen at said election one Justice of the Peace and one Councillor for such township; provided that all Justices of the Peace and Councillors acting as such at the time of the passage of this Act, residents of Orange county shall hold their office for this time provided by law, upon having daily qualified as Justices of the Peace and Councillors of Orange county, for the respective townships in which they normally reside as said townships are organized by the action of the Board of Commissioners provided for in this Act. All the officers elected as said election, or who qualify under the provisions of this Act, shall enter immediately after their qualification, upon the discharge of their respective offices, and shall hold such office until the time provided by general law for the election and qualification of county officers in this State and until their successors are elected and qualified. At said election shall also be submitted to the qualified electors the location of the county seat of said Orange county, and that place receiving the highest number of votes therefor shall be declared by the Commissioners the county seat of said county. SEC. 6. All qualified electors of this State, who have been residents and electors of said territory for ninety days preceding 'the election provided for in section five of this Act,' shall be qualified to vote at said election. The Register of Los Angeles county used at the general election held in the year eighteen hundred and eighty-four in the territory of the new created county of Orange shall be prima facie evidence for the qualification of electors. The county Clerk of Los Angeles county is hereby directed to furnish the Commissioners of Orange county with additional names of voters on the Great Register of Los Angeles county, registered to reside in the territory forming the county of Orange, since the last Great Register of Los Angeles county was printed. SEC. 7. It shall be the duty of the Board of Supervisors of Orange county, whose election is by this Act provided for, to meet at the county seat on the first Monday of the month subsequent to their election and qualification, the member representing District Number One being Chairman. They shall then allow such remuneration to the Commissioners and officers of election as they may think just and proper; and such allowance shall be paid by a warrant drawn in favor of each by the proper officers. Said Board, or a majority of them, shall then appoint two freeholders, residents of Orange county, to There is an ass by the name of MoMurray who has introduced in the Legislature a bill requiring that the annual recurrence of Shrove Tuesday shall be celebrated by a Mardi Gras festival according to the methods governing similar celebrations held elsewhere and that the Governor shall select some competent and judicious person to act as Rax, the King of the Carnival, in all cities of over 100,000 inhabitants, to serve for one year. The Mardi Gras Association and the King are to take charge of the keys of the city gates, and the State is to appropriate $50,000 for the annual expense of the carnival. Are we not justified in dubbing MoMurray an ass for introducing such a bill as that? The question of closing drinking saloons on Sunday in England is a subject of much discussion at the present time. That eminently respectable, very influential and perpendicularly staid journal, the Edinburgh Scotman, is not in favor of Sunday closing, although public houses (as saloons are there called) are closed on the Sabbath. It publishes statistics to show that there are more arrests for drunkenness on Sunday in Scotland than in England, although the saloons are (supposed to be) closed in Scotland and are open in England. It says: The arrests for drunkenness on Sundays in the Metropolitan Police District, which does not include the city, but includes all the rest of London, and has a population of 4,716,000, were 3816, or 0745 per cent. In the Scottish burgars, with a population of 1,609,598, the arrests were 2301, or 1429 per cent. The comparison is not favorable to total Sunday closing. There are, of course, some points to be kept in mind in judging of the importance of the figures in the return. There may, for instance, be more laxity on the part of the police in regard to drunkenness in some parts of the country than in others. That is to say, the test of arrests is rather uncertain one, seeing that it depends upon magistrial orders and police discretion. But there is no reason to suppose that this uncertainty is greater as between England and Scotland than it is between one part of England and other, and one part of Scotland and other. On the average the same conditions will prevail in both countries. Then it may be said that the liquor consumed in Scotland is stronger than the liquor consumed in England. That is unobtrudely the case. Scotamen, as a rule, drink whisky; Englishmen, as a rule, drink beer. But the test applied is the drunkenness. If the Englishman drinks a quart of beer and is not drunk, there is less to complain of in every way—on the ground of public order, and on the ground of his health—than there is in the case of the Scoteman who drinks a pint of whisky and rolls in the gutter. At this point, however, the real objection to restrictive legislation is approached. Half a pint of bad whisky will have an infinitely more deleterious effect upon the individual, and through him upon the community, than a pint of good whisky would have. Yet the advocates of restriction do their best to drive those who want whisky to the consumption of that which is bad. They do not stop consumption; they only induce the score agent of the Revenue Stamp Department attempted to act the spy. He bought a package of cigarettes without a stamp from a poor tradesman. Upon attempting to seize the man's goods the agent was seized by the populace, doused in the public fountain, and afterward tarred and feathered and paraded through the streets, accompanied by a brass band. AN ACT TO CREATE THE COUNTY OF ORANGE, TO ESTABLISH THE BOUNDARIES THEREFORE, AND TO PROVIDE FOR ITS ORGANIZATION. The People of the State of California, represented in Senate and Assembly, do enact as follows: SECTION 1. There shall be formed out of the southeast part of Los Angeles county, a new county, to be called Orange. SEC. 2. The boundaries of Orange county shall be as follows: Beginning at a point in the Pacific ocean three miles southwest of the center of the mouth of Coyote creek, proceeding up said creek in a northeasterly direction to the northeast corner of section four, township three south, range ten west; thence in an easterly direction along the township line between townships two and three, south of San Bernardino base line until it intercepts the boundary line between San Bernardino and Los Angeles counties; thence along said boundary southeastern until it intersects the boundary line of San Diego county; thence along said boundary line southwesterly until it reaches the Pacific coast; thence in the same direction to a point three miles in said Pacific ocean; thence in northwesterly line parallel to saad coast to the point of beginning. SEC. 3. The county seat of the county of Orange shall be chosen as hereinafter provided. SEC. 4. The Governor shall, when this Act takes effect, appoint five persons, residents and electors of the county of Orange, who shall be and constitute a Board of Commissioners to perfect the organization of the said county, a majority of whom shall constitute a quorum. Said Commissioners shall meet in the town of Santa Ana, within twenty days after their appointment, and, after being duly sworn to faithfully discharge their duties, as prescribed in this Act, shall organize by electing from their number a President and Secretary. They shall then divide the county into six judicial townships, define their boundaries, and designate the name of each. They shall also divide said county into five Supervisor's districts, to contain as nearly as practicable an equal number of inhabitants, and number said districts. They shall also establish election precints in said county. They shall give thirty days' notice by publication in one or more newspapers published in the county, of the precinct established, and shall designate the name and boundaries of each precinct, and number and boundaries of each Supervisor's district. Said Commissioners, their President and Secretary, are hereby authorized and required to discharge the same duties as are now required by law of Boards of Supervisors and County Clerks in the counties of this State, so far as the same applies to holding elections, canvass returns, and issuing certificates of election. They shall have power to compel the attendance of such persons and the production of such books and papers before them as they may require in the duties imposed by this Act; and it shall be the duty of the Sheriffs of Los Angeles and Orange counties to execute all lawful orders of said Commissioners in their respective counties; and for any services performed the Sheriffs shall be allowed the same fees as allowed for like services in civil cases; and all witnesses attending before these Commissioners, by their order, shall be entitled to the same compensation and mileage as is allowed to witnesses in civil cases; provided no witnesses shall be excused from attendance at the time and place mentioned in said order or subpoena by reason of the failure of the officer making service thereof to tender his fees in advance. Should any vacancy occur in said Commissioners by death, resignation, or otherwise, the Board of Supervisors of the county in which such vacancy shall occur shall have power to fill the vacancy by appointment. Should the Commissioners before designated be unable to agree in the discharge of duties imposed by the provisions of this Act, they are hereby required and empowered to appoint a fifth Commissioner, which Commissioner so appointed shall be a member of said Board of Commissioners from and after his appointment. The full number of Commissioners shall be necessary to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business; and if said Commissioners should fail, neglect or refuse to appoint the fifth Commissioner, as provided in this section, it shall be the duty of the Governor of the State of California to appoint the fifth Commissioner. After ascertainting the total amount of indebtedness they shall ascertain the total market value of the assets, including real estate buildings, bridges and other property belonging to Los Angeles county. They shall also ascertain the assessed value under the assessment of eighteen hundred and eighty-four, of all property in the territory hereby set apart to form Orange County. Then, after deducting the total value of assets from the total amount of indebtedness, so as to ascertain the actual indebtedness, the proportion due Englishmen, as a rule, drink beer. But the test applied is the drunkenness. If the Englishman drinks a quart of beer and is not drunk, there is less to complain of in every way—on the ground of public order, and on the ground of his health—than there is in the case of the Scotman who drinks a pint of whisky and rolls in the gutter. At this point, however, the real objection to restrictive legislation is approached. Half a pint of bad whisky will have an infinitely more deleterious effect upon the individual, and through him upon the community, than a pint of good whisky would have. Yet the advocates of restriction do their best to drive those who want whisky to the consumption of that which is bad. They do not stop consumption; they only induce the man who wishes to drink liquor to take more than he would otherwise take, and worse. Sunday closing and like restrictions are the cause of sheebens. Men who have got access to liquor unrepetitiously, drink more than those who have it at their command, or who can get it as part of the ordinary course of their life. Probably this will account for the bad appearance which Scotland makes in the returns of Sunday arrests. Shebeoning tells us, men drink in secret who would acrolyst drink at all if they could do so openly. They drink bad liquor, and they become more quarrelsome, and thus they find their way into the hands of the police. There is not, perhaps, much hope that such facts as are taught by the returne that have been described will have great effect on those who insist that men shall be bound whether they like it or not. The last thing they desire is to have temperance in all things. What they either cannot do without excess or cannot do at all, they insist that others shall not be allowed to do. But there is the great public, which, in the last resort, has to decide what shall and what shall not be done, and it may think that it is better to have moderation than intemperance either in drinking or in restraints on drink. It has the fast before it that in this country of Scotland, filled in an especial degree with a reverence for the sacredness of Sunday, and having all the restraint which a closing of public houses through the whole of Sunday can afford, there is more drankuness proportionately on that day than there is in England, where Sunday is, according to some Scottish ideas, by no means observed with revidence, and where public houses are open for many hours. The lesson ought to be taken to heart by a public that submits far too readily to the assurances of a small minority that it is a powerful majority. Excessive restriction goes far to destroy the effects of education, and of the conviction that temporaries is hurt. If the great mass of the people are to be brought to that conviction, it will not be by restraints, not by declarations that they shall have no liquor, but by persuasion that moderation in better than drunkenness, and, for many of them, that abstinence is better than anything else. They shall give thirty days notice by publication in one or more newspapers published in the county, of the precincts established, and shall designate the name and boundaries of each precinct, and number and boundaries of each Supervisor's district. Said Commissioners, their President and Secretary, are hereby authorized and required to discharge the same duties as are now required by law of Boards of Supervisors and County Clerks in the counties of this State, so far as the same applies to holding elections, canvassing returns, and issuing certificates of election. They shall keep a full record of all their proceedings, transmitting to the Secretary of State a certified copy thereof, filing the originals with the original election returns in the County Clerk's office as soon as he shall have been qualified, and thereupon the powers and duties of said Commissioners shall cease and terminate. Sec 5.—Within sixty days from the time of the first meeting of the Commissioners heretofore provided for, said Commissioners shall order an election to be held in arid county of Orange, which shall be held in the manner, so far as practicable, as required by the Political Code, sections one thousand and forty-one to one thousand two hundred and ninety-seven inclusive; provided, that said Board of Commissioners shall continue to hold their meetings in the town of Santa Ana until they have completed the canvas of the returns of the election, and issued the certificates of election required by this Act. There shall be chosen at said election, by the qualified electors of said county, one Superior Judge, one District Attorney, one County Clerk who shall be ex-officio Clerk of the Superior Court and Clerk of the Board of Supervisors, one Recorder who shall be ex-officio Auditor, one Sheriff who shall be ex-officio Tax Collector, one County Treasurer, one County Assessor, one County Superintendent of Public Schools, one County Surveyor, one County Coroner who shall be ex-officio Public Administrator.

Chinese Gordon's Death. At the day on which Khartoum was captured, which is variously stated at the 28th and 27th of January, General Gordon's attention was attracted by a tremendous tumult in the street. He left the so-called palace or government building, in which he had made his headquarters, to ascertain the cause of the disturbance. Just as he reached the street he was stabbed in the back, and fell dead. The tumult was caused by the Mahdi's troops, who had gained access to the interior of the town through treachery and who were soon in complete possession of the place, including the citadel. A fearful maassacre of the garrison followed. The scenes of slaughter are described as surpassing the Bulgarian atrocities, and rivalling the worst horrors of the Sapoy mutiny. The panic stricken Egyptians were captured in flight and put to death with most fiendish tortures. Some were transmitted with spears and left to bleed to death. Most of the victims were mutilated in the most horrible manner. The Mahdi is repairing the fortifications of Khartoum and he made them well nigh impregnable. He has abundance of arms, large and small. All the London morning papers are bordered with black as a token of the grief which is universally felt over Gordon's fate. The Rescue of Wilson. London, Feb. 10.-Wolsley telegraphs further particulars of Beresford's rescue.of Col. Wilson: "When the steamer had gone down river about three miles, a battery of enemy on the left bank opened fire upon it. The steamer returned the fire which was kept up while the steamer anchored for repairs. Meanwhile Col. Wilson, with a small party, took four guns and landed on the right bank. The party marched down the river till directly opposite the battery, put their guns in position, and opened fire. Much assistance was then rendered Lord Charles in keeping fire of the enemy down, and at sunset Wilson and cart marched on three miles further down the city has not since been found. Several prominent clergymen are interning themselves without ten as at present; also too all working holidays a half holiday day. It is claimed that the latter properly provision for his recreation—the chief causes which lead to no nism between capital and labor. News of the Week.
