The report was received and placed
on file.
Communications were received from
Hon. j. X. Luttrell in reference to
duty on tropical fruits, and the port
of Wilmington, promising his Iavora-
BILE attention.
On motion the Secretary was in
structed to acknowledge receipt and
return thanks of the Chamber.
Judge Widney asked how many new
members had been received. The Sec
rotary replied that six had been Sc
cured.
Governor Downey, on behalf Of the
Committee appointed to solicit funds
to assist in paying for circulation of
documents, reported that but little had
been received.
Governor Downey made II few re-
marks in reference to the two Agri-
cultural Societies. He said the gen
tlemen connected with the Southern
District Society had acted from disin-
terested motives, with no hope of gain.
Their object was to benefit the county.
A new society had been organized, and
asked them to sell their grounds, The
old society did not intend to sell out.
He thought two societies could not
flourish, and asked all members of the
Chamber who had any influence
with the parties organizing the new
Society, to dissuade them from going
on.
Mr.. Lord stated that q meeting of
the Directors of the New Association
had been held to-day, and that there
was to be a general movement among
the farmers to make it success; that
grounds had been offered them at
favorable rates, and that more than
thousand people We're behind it, eX-
pressing IL determination to win.
Thought two detrimental to the inter
ests of the country and hoped the in
fluence of all parties would be exerted
to heal the differences between the
two associations. The men moving
in the new society were confident
they could wipe out the old one. Sug-
gested that the stockholders of the
old society might let the farmers have
all the stock, and they could soon buy
it back.
Governor Downey could see no OBJ
ject in organizing anew society unless
it was to steal the State appropriation
from the old one; that with this fund
they might get a few hundred people
to their fair, but it would be an abor-
ton and iizzle; "punkin" and
squash or two would be all they would
have to show, while the old society
would call out five thousand people.
They would rob the older institution
of the State appropriation, but when
it came to paying their own money,
they wouldn't be there.
Judge Widney thought nothing the
Chamber of Commerce could do
would have any good effect, and dis
liked to have it throw any influence
in favor of either Association.
Mr.. Ayres foresaw clash between
the societies, and injury to both. He
offered the following:
Resolved, That it is the sense of the
Chamber of Commerce, that two Agri-
cultural Associations in this District,
with headquarters in this county
would be injurious; therefore recon-
mend that each association appoint Il
Committee Of Conference to discuss
the subject and adjust differences.
The resolution was passed and the
Secretary instructed to furnish copies
to the Presidents Of both associations.
The Chamber then adjourned.

Some Lemons.

Mr.. Furry, of the firm of H. D. Bar
rows & Co., brought into our office yes
terday, twig of u Sicily lemon tree,
with seven as fine and perfect lemons
attached to it, as we have ever, seen.
The tree from which this branch was
taken, is in the orchard of l.. n. Titus,
at the Mission of San Gabriel, and is
one of $50 trees planted on his place
two years ago, the trees being then
but three years of age, and now some
thing under six, and all of which are
now bearing more or less fruit. Mr..
Titus purchased his land unimproved,
and with but limited facilities for irri-
CATION two years ago. Since then he
lemon trees, and SO far economised the
water, as to now be able to irrigate
nearly twice the amount calculated
upon, when he located. A few more
such enterprising men would greatly
enrich our county.

The books of this company have
only been open few days, and yet an

discretion and liberality.

SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 2

Saturday the San published per-
sonal article relative to the De Young
brothers, of the Chronicle. Gus De
Young whipped one of the editors,
Fitzgerald, and yesterday the other
editor, Napthaly, and all the printers
in the office were arrested for libel.
The printers and editors of the San
are still in jail. The case will be
called to-day. 1t is reported that Gus
De YOU will be arrested to-day for
assault d battery on Fitzgerald, and
for malicious mischief in breaking the
forms sid ehopping up the type with

The War ia Rnging-Tfe Chronicle"
and .'Sun" Firing at each other.
The war between the Chronicle and
Sun assumed q more serious aspect to-
day, about half-past two O'Clock.
Napthaly, editor of the San, left the
City Prison in custody of officer Nc
Mahon, for the purpose of procuring
bail. The two were crossing Sansome
street on California, when Gus De
Young approached from behind, and
when within few yards he drew
Il revolver and commenced firing at
Napthaly The prisoner broke and
ran from the officer, De Young con-
tinuing to fire four or five shots. He
was finally knocked down by citizen
and then secured by the officer, who
conducted him to the City Prison.
The affair attracted a great crowd,
causing an intense excitement. Gus
De Young having been taken to pris-
on, Charles and Mike of the Chronicle
were. admitted to prison. Shortly
after Napthaly returned in custody
of an officer. He was standing
on corner when Mike De Young
suddenly approached him with a
revolver cooked, and was on the point
of firing, when Napthaly started to-
ward the other end of the prison, and
before De Young could correct his aim,
he was throttled by bystanders and
his pistol taken from him. He was
also placed under arrest. Charles de
Young was then questioned concern
ing his designs and denied having any
arms upon his person, but on being
searched a loaded pistol was found on
him. Napthaly and Fitzgerald were
placed in the new part of the city
prison, as a precaution against any
further attempts at assassination of
either. The DeYoung brothers have
been arrested and held to bail in the
amount of 81, 600 each, for attempt to
murder and for libel.
Mr.. Folsom, who was injured by a
boiler explosion this morning, was
alive at last accounts, but little hope
is entertained of his recovery.

taking of some palatable refreshments
and then dancing little longer, the
company separated, some of the MEM

The Senate Committee on Public
Buildings, other than the State Pris-
on, have returned from Napa, and ex-
press themselves satisfied with the
work as it is progressing on the Branch
Insane Asylum. The original specifi-
cations called for six hundred
thousand dollars, the State to fur
nish stone at site, which would add
ten thousand dollars to the cost of the
building. It can be completed for six
hundred thousand dollars, the archi-
tect estimates under the present plans,
but the proposed alteration of oak in
stead of pine floors, heating apparatus,
etc., would raise the total cost to eight
hundred thousand dollars.
