Publication Of the Laws In Spanish.

E. F. De Cells ESQ.,, the editor of
La Cronica, the ably conducted Span
ish newspaper published in this city,
has presented a memorial to the Leg
islature of this State urging the i'm
portance of continuing the publica-
ton in the Spanish language of the
laws of California, it having been
recommended by Governor Booth that
this publication should cease, on the
score of economy. Mr.. De Cells pro-
ceeds to show the necessity of their
publication, and argues that the ma
tive Californians are really entitled to
this much consideration. The memo
rial makes the point that while it is
true that the new generation reads,
speaks and therefore understands the
English language, but it is also true
that there is considerable portion of
our population, among them some Of
the distinguished persons who voted
for and signed that Constitution, who
do not and never can understand that
language. They are entirely blame
less, too, for what might appear a
want of proper ambition in not learn
ing English, for there has been no
provision made for schools where they
could learn it, (the State has no school
provided with teacher knowing both
English and Spanish.) In this man.
ner has learning been kept from them.
1t also states that:
1t is an undeniable fact that we have
not really enjoyed that privilege,
which Is due US, since November 13,
l849. Very few persons read the laws
in Spanish when they are published
In book form, and that, two or three
years after they are already in force;
some of them are repealed before they
are published in Spanish. This pub
licatiOn Is costing the State 500 per
term. This Is very insignificant
amount when we consider the number
of our Spanish-American fellow citi-
zens, the amount of property they
own and the amount paid by them in
taxes. There are more than 5000
Spanish votes from Monterey to Ari-
IONA, of which 1900 are in the county
Of Los Angeles.
Mr.. De Cells advises that instead of
publishing the laws in the bulky and
inconvenient volume, which is only

Los ANGELES, Jan. 18th, 1874.
EDS. HERALD: As there are gentle
men of high order of commercial
and financial integrity and of long ex-
perience in this county, connected
with the Southern California Cooper
alive Warehouse and Shipping Asso-
citation, and who were SO generous as
to invite me to become one of their
body, and entrust to me the prepare
ton of the necessary organization pa
pers, l deem it due to them that l
should state for the information of the
public that 1 alone am responsible for
the temporary error so sagaciOusly
discanted upon by Lex in your publ
cation of January l4th. I here state
for the information of that person,
that a certificate of incorporation of
the Southern California Cooperative
Warehouse and Shipping Association
has been prepared by Messrs. Glassell,
Chapman & Smith, attorneys at law,
and duly filed as prescribed by the
Civil Code of the State of California.
| will further state for his information
that l am one of the "New-Comers,"
.and am not thoroughly posted in the
laws and customs of California, but in
justice to myself beg leave to say that
1 was unintentionally mislead in COM
hitting this blunder by lawyer in
good standing, which was regarded
by all interested as being of minor i'm
portance. Very respectfully,

G.. Brown: Dear Sir: The State of

election. The crisis is of great i'm
portance to the people of the State. as
the Radicals have in this canvass gem
orally espoused the civil rights bill, !"
which we deem destructive of the
most sacred principles of the constitu-
ton, violative of all justice and de-
cency. and the Inauguration of social
equality and amalgamation.
The people of Tennessee are also
deeply concerned on the subject of the
States finances and taxation. Believ-
ing that these questions have aroused
your liveliest attention as citizen,
lover of your country, and the Cover
nor of the State, we, as your personal
and political friends, desire to have
public expression of your views upon
these grave and all-absorbing ques-
tions, by addressing the people Of Mem
phis and Shelby county, at such time
as may suit your convenience. a.zad.

ed that the bonds and coupons, due,

onor before the first of January, 1874,
should be redeemed by the issuance to
the holders of new six per cent. ten

due should be presented to and exam

should be registered and stamped. 1t
further provides that the payment of
interest be resumed on the first day of
July, 1874, but that no interest shall
be paid except the coupons of the new
bonds and of the registered bonds,
falling due on or after the first day of
July, 1874. These are the leading pro-
visions of that act. Under its pro-
visions, the officers charged with the
duty of its execution have registered

The culture Of oranges in Florida
is beginning to attract considerable
attention. A correspondent writes
from there that he has just visited
one orchard of fifteen acres for which
the owner had refused $4,000, and
another of eighteen acres for which
there is a standing offer of 100000
in gold. The latter produced last
year a gross in ONE 10000. There
is. however this to be considerable
takes six years for a grove to begin
to bear, and eight or ten more before
it becames profitable. An Grange
tree ten years old is expected to pro-
duce from one to three thousand
oranges, and these are sold on the
trees from one to three cents each.
There are usually 100 trees to the
acre, and counting 1000 oranges to
the tree, this yield, at n cent each,
would give $1,000 per acre.
