THE GREEK CHURCH is much interested in
the troubles in the East; and the recent insur-
rection in Turkey has shown that it sympa-
thizcs with the Gar, looking to him as its
protector. The Christians of the Ottoman
Empirc, Greeks and Armeniaus although
greatly ,bigoted, are tho practical, active men,
and majority of the population. Tho Greek
merchants are not behind any in the world for
shrewdness and enterprise, and monopolizc all
the commerce, and by branch houses establish
ed in London, Paris and the principal cities OF
Europe, exercise much influence in mercantile
affairs. The shipping is entirely Greek, and
their vessels have the great corn trade with
the western countries.
In European Turkey the Mohammedan pop
ulation does not exceed three millions, while
there Is about o million Greeks In Turkey
proper, and not less than ten millions moro in
tho provinces of Bulgaria, Walachia, Albania,
Moldavia Bosnia, and Montenegro. They
generally believe in the rc-establishmcnt of the
Greek Empire, and will fight if circumstances
permit, with oil the zeal of the old crusaders
for the rescue of tho Holy shrncs from the
hands of the Infdels, und the triumph Of tho
cross over tho crescent. This Is weak'pont
for tho Turks.

Accounts OF MURDERS in the southern Sec
ton Of the State reach US with painful regu-
larity on every receipt of news from that di-
rection. On the 10Th instant, the house kept
by color6d man named James Anthony, ct
the crossing of the Silinas River, fourteen
miles from Monterey, was entered by party
consisting of four Americans and three MeXi-
cans, their object being to rob Anthony, for
Anton, as ho was generally called) of some
$4,000, which he was reported to have in his
possession. The party obtained about $4,000,
and other valuables and murdered the father,
wife, atld child Of Anthony, and also French
man living in the house, and concluding their
horrible work by setting fire to the house,
which was entirely consumed. Anthony es-
capped and fled to Monterey, where he arrived
on the Goth. The names of the murderers were
not known when the Sheriff started from Mou-
tercy in pursuit. Transcript

lG5~e A man, or rather thing IN tho shape
of q man, was arrested yesterday afternoon by
virtue of q warrant, issued upon an affidavit
accusing him of having perpctrated one of the
most revolving outrages known in the criminal
register. The particulars arc unfit for publi-
cation, but If they are ono half as bad as re-
presented (which there is scarcely any room to
doubt the guilty ole should be Immediately
and forever banished from even the sight of his
fellows No punishment could be too severe
for him.-S. +. NewS.
B@5~ The Herald says: "A man named
David Hughes was arrested yesterday, charged
with assault with intent to commit rape, on
the person of girl aged seven years )"
1t is worthy Of the attention of the Legis-
lature that our criminal code provides no pun
ishment for rape on women. Rape on child
is punished, and an assault with intent to com

AssULr WITH KNrFE-Two Mexicans at
Aqua Frio on Thursday last, had q misunder-
standing from some cause or other unknown
to us, when one of them attempted to strike
the other with crow-bar, which he lodged,
and returned by cutting the aggresor across the

The one who inflicted the wound immedi-

Scrap Of H,Story.--During the revolution
airy war, Gen. Lafayette being in Baltimore,
was invited to a ball. He went, as requested,
but instead of joining in the amusement as
might be expected of a young Frenchman of
twenty-five, he ADDRESSED the ladies thus =
Ladies, you are very handsome.you dance very
prcttilyl your ball is very fnc--tnt my soldiers
haze no Shirts" This appeal was Irresistible.
The ball ceased the ladies went home and went
to work, and the next day large number of
shirts were prepared by the fairest hands of
Baltimore for the gallant defenders of their
country.

Several attempts wero made by divers to
ascertain the location OF the treasure, but with
out success. A heavy sea was constantly break
ing over the wreck, which rendered it impOs-

will be impossible to recover the treasure
Two other bodies had drifted ashore, one of

boy about four years old, with fair skin and
light hair. Before tho Carolina left Santa
Barbara, another body, that of man appar-
emily 40 years of age, dri(ted on shore, and
from several deep cuts on the head, and the
fact that the pockets of his clothes werc turned
inside out and rifed, led to the belief that he
had been murdered and plundcrcd by the vii

Totals. .43,O2s 1924 26,744
The table shows ono good feature and one
bad one. The good ono is this: tho arrivals
of females, whose kindly influence has been
so much wanted in California, have been more
numerous than during any previous months.
1t is we'll worthy of note in this connection,
that o very considerable proportion of the emil
grafton by the Plains this year he's been COM
posed of females; indeed, we should judge, from
observations we have had an opportunity of
making, almost one half. These things bespeak
for us o more permanent population than VIC
have heretofore had, iUasmuch as ladies who
make the trip to California, and those who
accompany them seldom return to their old
homes.
The bad feature shown by this table Is that
very nearly one half Of that total increase OF
population by sea, 36,745, is composed of Chi
nese, 1925. Deduct the 4,979 of female
increase, and the 1925 Chinese, nearly all of
whom are males, largely outnumber the white
male increase. From these facts, it is legit-
innate deduction to conclude that when the
tide of emigration from China shall have COM
menced to carry with it equal numbers of
males and females, the population of California
will increase moro rapidly from this source
than oil Others combined. And the time ap-
pears not to be far distant when the sexes will
emigrate in equal numbers, or nearly SO, from
China Until quite recently, none but the
most degraded of the Chinese females came to
this country; now, however, those of charac-
ter about one grade higher are making their
appearances. A great majority of the Chinese
sent out to work in our mines, or to gather up
the money of the country in any other manner
they can, are coolies, or to use more express
i've term, slareS, to Asatic noblemen, merchants,
spectators, grandees, &c. Their owners for
the time being must, according to practice that
has prevailed, take care of their wives and
families while they ore absent; and it appears
that these gentry have conceived and are about
carrying out the notion, that they can do bet
ter by sending out to California the whole
batch and keeping them as "coolies" during
their natural lives! This as nearly as We car
Judge after pretty rigid examination of oil
the conflicting statements that are made con
cerning the Chinese, is about the existing
state of facts.
We would commend this subject to the mem
bers elect of the Legislature, who will convene
in Senate and Assembly on the first Monday II
January.

Ditch Combination,

An item in the Democrat stating that
combination of all the bitches in this neigh
borhood had been effected, is not entirely
accurate, and mas led to some unjust stric-
lures from various presses. A consolida-
ton ofDeer Creek and Cayote, the Snowy
Mountain and the Rock Creek bitches has
taken place, but nothing further. The
motive of this union il the fact that these
three bitches draw their water from
common source, and are continually in
volved with each other in lawsuits to as
certain their rights, and by these means
thousands of dollars have been expended
in useless litigation, absorbing the,reve-
nues of the companies to no practical ef-
feet. If one company raised its gate high
er than suited the others, law suit was
the consequence. Under their. present
plan they are enabled to run water higher
than before. The company having the
first right to the water has its ditch at the
lowest level. Now the water may be sent
through every ditch, to the great accom-.
modation of miners. There Is no monop-
oily or combination Of all the ditch comma .
nes-only union of three of them to
avoid unpleasant disputes in reference to
individual rights inseparable from separate

MExlCo-The latest accounts from

the factlonal spirit that has pressed that
country to the certain doom that awaits it..
The revolutionary leaders are again in
arms, and few months moro may see
another change in the government Even
the subsidy Of the Gadsden treaty does
not seem to render Santa Anna's despot-
ism impregnable. There is not more
miserable country in existence than Mex
leo. ltis held by IN ignorant, superstitious
and degraded people, mixed up and ANAL
gamated from Spaniards, Indians, and
Negroes, who neither perceive nor have
the capacity to develop the vast resources
of that sunny, beautiful and fertile land
1t Is without commerce, trade or manufac-
lures, though admirably situated and
adapted for them all. Law is not there of
binding force; religion is as corrupt as the
most depraved clergy can mako it,;
morality is little known ) and the venal
government is terror.to the people, tax
ing and expressing, without protecting or
defending them. The nation is in the
last stages of decomposition, and men are
now living who will see its name blotted
from the roll of nations, Great strides
towards such consummation have been
taken in the last eight years. The ex-
tlnction of the race as the lands pass to
ADLER hands is sure to follow. That coun.
try resembles the "sick man" described by
