tentionally overlooked the claims of
the Landing, but rather that the over
sight was made inadvertently, the main
object being to call attention to the
commerce of Wilmington and not to
accurately set forth the business of
other ports.
Notwithstanding its adverse criti-
cism it pays the Chamber the follow
ing handsome compliment:
"In the record of a late meeting of
the Los Angeles Chamber of Com
merce is embodied in memorial adj
dressed by them to the California del
egation at Washington, and asking
for legislative action, regarding the
construction which has been placed
upon that portion of an Act of Con-
gress, approved June 9Th, 1872, and re-
lating to the revenue, which exempts
from duty semi-trOpical fruits and
plants. The clause referred to, ex-
empts all fruits and plants, tropical or
semi-tropical, introduced for propaga-
ton or cultivation. The effect of a re-
cent decision of Attorney-General
Williams, however, is to allow all ar
tlcles of that kind to be imported for
consumption as we'll. On this account
the Chamber asks that duty be inn
posed in order to prot ect and foster the
most importank industy of Southern
California.
Although at times the Los Angeles
Chamber apparently allows itselfto be
influenced by sectional motives, it is
undeniable that its workings generally
tend to the benefit of the whole coun-
ty. Though yet in its infancy, it has
already demonstrated itself to be a
tower of strength in making known
the capabilities of this section, and
through it. energetic action has rene
pied many evils, which our citizens

Anahelm Exports

The Southern Californian complains
Of our Chamber Of Commerce, that In
its memorial to Congress on the har-
Dor improvement, Anaheim Landing,
and its heavy business is entirely ig-
nored. 1t says:
1.-THE paragraph referred to, states
that two-thirds of the maratime trade,
transacted south of Point Conception,
passes through Wilmington, and that
the remaining one-third is divided be-
tween San Diego, Santa Barbara and
Hueneme. The last error in this
statement admits of two interpreta-
lions; either the Chamber has by de-
cided stretch of Imagination inclu-
ded In the generic name Of Will
mington harbor the two landings of
Ban Pedro and Anaheim Landing, to-
gether with Wilmington, or else 1t
has accepted as truth, the desire pos
sessed by them to make Wilmington
the great entrepot of Southern Cali
fornia, and published an assertion not
founded upon strict fact.
BY reference to the report of the
agent Of the Anaheim Lighter Com
pany, published In the Californian OF
December, 18th, 1873, 1t will be seen
that the receipts, both inward and out
ward, ct Anaheim Landing, are suffi-
GENTLY large to entitle 1t to slight
recognition as q shipping point. In
point of fact, we believe that its ship
ments Of Grain and wool are largely
IN excess Of those from Wilmington,
and we know that its wine shipments
exceed In quantity those Of all the
ports combined, lying south Of San
Francisco"
We do not think the Chamber in

Quite right, the Aldine is a magnifi-

being able yet to be around.
A petition to the State Legislature
against the repeal of the No-Fence
Law, was prepared and numerously

The Changers held a grand harvest
dinner at their hall on Saturday last.
A table reaching the entire length Of
the hall was spread and filled with the
many good things of the season. If
such things are of often occurrence
applications for membership will be-
gin to pour in.
On Thursday night the residence of
Mr.. Joseph Sawyer, on Warm Creek,
was entirely consumed by fire, to-
gether with all the household furni-
ture. Mr.. S. was absent from home.
The fire, when discovered, had burned
the house down, and Mrs. Sawyer and
children barely had time to escape.
The survey of the ditch has been
cUtnpleted. The ditch will be about
three and q half miles long, over
fine ground for ditch, such as this
one is expected to be. 1t will enter
the Company's land half mile north

track. 1t will bring about 1,40O acres
of snlendid land under cultivation.

RAILROAD MATTERS.
Important Decision by the Illinois
Courts, Involving the Assessments
on Capit stock Of kail-
road COnapan les.

CHICAGO, June 20. "A Springfield
special says the supreme court Of Illi-
nois has rendered decision in the case
of Porter ct al. against the Rockford,
Rock Island and st. Louis railroad COM
pany, which Involves the question of
assessment by the board of equalization
of the capital stock. The decision sus-
tains the board of equalization and is Of
great interest, as it virtually decides all
similar cases brought before the supreme
court. The decision concludes as fOl-
lows: Even from the appellants own
showing it is difficult to conceive that
this assessment does it injustice. The
capital stock paid in is presumed TO have
been used in the corporate business, and
this Indebtedness could have been law
fully created for no other than corporate
purposes. But be this as it may, we are
convinced from the allegation in the bill,
taken in connection with the accompa-
Dying exhibition, that the valuation Of
the appellee's property, as made by the
board Of equalization, is so UNJUST and
oppressive as TO be sufficient evidence
on the part OF the board to justify US in
restraining the collection of the tax inn
posed upon it. Some further objections
are figured on the ground that the cor
poratiOns were not notified of the meet
ing of the board of equalization. The
constitution does not provide that the
legislature shall require that persons or
corporations whose property shall be as
sessed for taxation shall be notified Of
the assessment. But in the case Of the
Western Union telegraph company
against Loeb, where the board
Of equalization assessed the capi-
tai stock, the court held that the
board of equalization is empowered TO
assess for taxation the capital stock Of
such corporations as are created by or
under the laws Of Illinois, and that
shares Of stock in such corporations are
not liable to be assessed for taxation, but
that persons residing in this State, and
owning shares of stock in corporations
created by the laws of other States, must
be taxed only the value Of such shares;
that the assessment for taxation OF the
capital stock OF the Western Union tele-
graph company, foreign corporation
is Unauthorized by law, and void, aud
thst the collection Of the tax levied on
it must be eDjoined in the various coun-
ties in the State

The Eject Of the Coffee Trade on Gold
and Foreign Exehange-PuFpureaI
FeVer-Bank statement.

NEW YORK, June 20.-GOld and for
eign exchange have risen from seven to
eight per cent. within one month, chiefly
caused from the almost com plete stop
page of shipment of coffee, owing to the
great falls which have occurred in prices
abroad. The enormous fall in the price
of coffee caused very severe losses among
shippers, the fall amounting to five dol
lars per bag in many shipments. The
association Of planters, gotten up to pro-
tect themselves from the middle men,
they being unwilling to pay the lattef's
prices, shipped very largely just before
the news, and fOur-fifths of their eight
hundred thousand dollars is lost, greatly
to the delight of sacsers and exporters.
The sugar interest can hardly struggle
along. Slaves in Brazil have decreased
fifty per cent since 1850, when the slave
trade was completely stopped. The reg
istration of slaves last year gave the
number at OBe million sixteen thousand
two hundred and siXty-tWO.
Owing to the alarming speed Of pur-
pureal fever in Bellevue hospital, per-
sons exposed to the disease have been
removed from the infected wards, and

ease ten nave died. Floors and ceilings
of rooms formerly occupied by patients

LIBEL AND CROSS LIBEL.
H0bbs's ChOice-EttheF the Banner OF
Burch TO be observation-disclosures
Isffc Jeaioustes.

NASHVILLE, June -1.-COlonel John
C. Burch, comptroller Of the State treas
ury, instituted suit against the Banner
yesterday for libel, laying his damages
at fifty thousand dollars. The Union
and american says e5itOrially: "It will
be remembered that when the libelous
charges relative to the sale of the comp
trollership by Mr.. Hobbs, and the pur-
chase thereof by Mr.. Burch, appeared
in a Radical paper lest summer, these
charges we're promptly and explicitly
denied by Colonel 8urch, Governor
Brown, and Mr.. Hobbs, in cards over
their own signatures. Colonel Burch
has taken no further notice of the
charges until they have recently been
revived, in a mo t offensive manner, by
the Banner. The Bdaner yesterday
also instituted suit against Colonel John
c. Burch, Ira P. Jones, and Travis Win
ham, prOprietOrs and part owners of the
Union and ABlericGH, for libel, laying
their damages at sixty thousand dollars.
The declarations and specificatlOns have
not been filed in either case,
and will not be Until the Septem-
Der term OF the circuit court.
The Banner, in commenting editOrislly
on the suit brought by Colonel Burch,
uses the following language, which is
supposed to allude to the Womack
Hobbs suit here, which is a declaration
fled in the law court of Davidson
cOunty,in which Ex-COmptrollerH Hobbs,
in consideration of large sums of money,
bills and land paid and agreed to be paid,
is accused of having scld and transfer
red his interest in said Office and in pur-
suance of an agreement entered into
and transferred the same by formal
resignation. What Goes this mean? On
this hinges a great scandal, which the
Banner mildly limited should be cleared
up. Is it for this suggestion that we are
sued for libel? Is there anything wrong
in the request? In view of the almost
universal Indignation aroused of the
great mystery, as we.will have this thing
properly ventilated in court, and if the
rumOrs and accusations are unfounded,
the Banner will be FIST to proclaim that
