Objections to Southern California.
From the Enterprise of June 25th.

FROM the Enterprise of June 25th.
The most unreasonable people we
meet are the tourists and immigrants
who pass back and forth over this
valley. One wants a home where he
can look out upon the broad ocean
and enjoy the delightful sea-breeze;
but it must be spot where the strong
winds never blow. Another likes the
healthy climate, but it's too dry. It's
not too dry for the next man, but it's
too dusty. And here comes man
who has run away from heavy taxes
and carpet-bag rule of the South,
where he has been working hard for
the last nine years and lost money,
but is impatient because he can't at
once jump on the down-grade track to
fortune. And there's that New Eng
lander, who has been shivering with
cold for thirty long, dreary winters
back at hOme and he's growing be-
cause a little fire is occasionally ne
cessary in this country. Some want
timber, some want Highlands with
the fatness of the low-lands others
must have the perpetual verdure of
bluegrass, although they don't have
it at home. But the last man is mod
est in his objections. He finds fault
cSSHuoC ~ uOCSI COlIOllc Will llS
own eXcellencies the most charming
features of a half-dozen widely differ
ent localities in the East. This last
individual reminds US Of an ugly, half
witted old bachelor, who used to say
that he never intended to marry un-
less he could get "the poortiest, the
smartest and the richest gal in the
country"
To us the chief attraction of Los An
geles Valley is its genial, healthful
climate. This more than counterbal-
;ances the defects. But this is by no
means the only attraction. The soil
is very rich and productive, as the
fine harvest now being gathered, the
luXuriant orchards, vineyards and
gardens will testify. Nor does the
soil exhaust, as it does in the East.
Besides greater results can be pro-
t|uced with less labor than in any
other section with which we are ac-
tluainted.
The trouble now is, this is a new
country, and in many localities thinly
settled. We are also in the midst of
the dry season, and the general ap-
pearance Of things, we admit, is unin-
N1ting to the stranger. He has
made rapid transit across the con-
tinent, leaving fresh spring-like
beauty behind him, and the sharp
contrast is unpleasant. But little
patience and thought will set the mat
ter all right. A few nights of refresh
ing sleep, and tour of observation to
those localities where the wonderful
capacity of the soil has already been
demonstrated, and the mutterings of
fault-findj e will gradually shape
themse' into words of admiration.
We ha> climate and the soil, and
a reasona1. amount of labor, patience
and capital will work wonders. OF
this we have no doubt, and we look to
a bright future for Southern California
with perfect confidence.

In answer to your reply to our
counter proposition, We have to
only state that there is nothing
in the following resolution OF the Demo
cratic Conservative Central Committee,
which conflicts with the action taken by
the Conservative members of the Confer
ence Committee, rs appears BY its abusive
tenor:
Resolved, That the Conservative men,
bers of the Conference Committee, are
hereby authorized and empowered to re-
new the conference in relation to filling
the vacancy of Mr.. +. Banzaro, and
other matters suggested by the resolution
of the Republican State Central Com
mittee.

publican State Central Committee met
yesterday to consider the communication
from the Conservatives for reopening the

Republicans had faithfully carried out
the provisions of the compact while
their opponents had failed or evsded
requirements of the first article of the
agreement, and refusing to reopen the
conference unless the Conservatives gave
u guarantee of good faith regarding the
first article, and that the same line OF &C
ton be agreed on compelling adherence
thereto.
In response TO the above the Demo-
cratic and Conservative State Central
Committee adopted the following:
Resolred, That the Conservative mem
bers of the Conference Committee are
hereby authorized and empowered to re-
new the conference in relation 10 filling

Prc.byterIan synod Of Northern

CUICAGo. October 20.-In the Presby-
terisn Svnod,of Northern Illinois to-day
Mr.. Moves proceeded with h:s argument
against the reception Of minority re-
port. a. gwen Yesterday. He contrnded
that it j. contrary to the law Of the
church: that there i. no precedent in
favor Of Professor Patton that there are
precedent. against him, and that justice
10 the accrIser and the accused party for
bids that he .hould longer claim
the part Of prosecutor. He held that
n. by the law Of the church, only the
aggrieved party could complain. Patton
cannot by right appeal. II the prosecu-
tor had been censured by the Pre.bytery
then he would have been an aggrieysd
party and could have appealed from any
defnitiye ntence. bat could not sgsin
involve the defendant who had been ac-
quilted. In support Of his point be cited
many cases from the digest and from
ecclcsiastical law Of the Latin, English
and Scottish cburches. In conclusion
Mr.. Moves asked that the report Of the
judicial committee he laid on the table
and that ..he prosecutor withdraw his az
peal.
Prof Patton then took the floor, and
spoke at length and in detail. He aid
he appealed because that was the only
way Of preventing Mr. Swing from re-
entering the pulpit. He held that an
aggrieved party could appeal, and that
be wss the aggrieved party, bseanse IN
less he sustained his case he was, by the
law Of the church, an offender and SIAN
derer.
Subsequently 3 vote vAs taken, when
the Synod agreed, by q respectable
majority, TO allow sn appeal 10 cone b.
fore that body.
The first order for tO-norrOws session
Is the discussion Of the appeal By the
