SAN FRANCISCO, April 27th.-In the
Executive Committee of the Demo-
cratic State Central Committee, in
conference last night with the Confer
ence Committee of the County Com
mittee, an election proclamation was
adopted providing for the election at
the primary, next Saturday, of seven
delegates for each Senatorial District,
to constitute Legislative Commit
tee, and at the same election will be
chosen a County Central Committee
of forty, to hold office for two years,
to arrange for calling Convention
for nominating county and munich
pal officers, and to determine the
manner of selecting delegates to any
State Convention which may be called
during their term of Office s
In the Board of Supervisors last
night, proposals were received from
A. w. Won Schmidt, on behalf of the
Lake Tahoe Water Company, and
from Mr.. Clark, owner Of the Blue
Lakes water privilege, offering to con-
struct and turn over to the city, on
the completion, of system of water
supply, the former demanding $13,-
589, $50 and the latter, $12, ,OOO, 900. A
resolution was s,lso offered for the pur-
chase of the Spring Valley Water
Works, which was laid on the table
without debate. The two former
propositions were referred to the Com
mittee on Water Supply. A resolu-
was adopted requesting all persons
owning water rights to lay before the
Board proposals and estimates.

murder was the work of McW0rthy.
He denies all completely in the mat

posing his action before.

of our vast resources-the little-great
journals of San Francsco-the self.
styled metropolitan press is begin
ming to discourage immigration by
sending forth editorials expressing
fear that we already have too many
people here. Such articles are libel
on our State and an insult to those
whose labor and industry have made
California what she is. There are
millions of acres of rich soil in this
State yet untouched by the husband
mans plowshare.. The agricultural
products of our valleys are as yetno
ing to what they will be when our
population is three or five times greater
than 1t now is., We want thousands,
millions of people with strong arms
and steady hands and determined
minds-people who believe that labor
is honorable and are willing to labor
for the reward which labor always
bestows upou its votaries. Whe,. the
San Francisco press asserts that there
is no room for such people here, il
manifests degree of ignorance of
which the weakest interior journal
would feel ashamed.

Marine Disaster.

New ORLEANS, April 23d.-The
steamboats,, John Kyle and Charles
Bodman, were burned to-day at the
foot of Poydras street. The fire origin
ated in the blacksmith shop of the
Kyle, and spread with such rapidity
that the cabin was in flames in less
than five minutes after the alarm.
She was cut loose and drifted up
stream, there being an eddy at the
place where she was lying. The Ex-
porter and Bodman were also cut
loose, and the burning vessel drifted
against the Exporter, sitting her OIL
fire. The people on board seeing no
other refuge, jumped on board the
Bodman, which moment later also
caught fire, and was soon enveloped
in flames, and the three burning boats
drifted into the current. The people
on board the last two jumped over
board, and though some were saved,
the larger part it is believed, were
lost. The number is variously esti-
mated at from 20 to 100. On one of
the boats was an excursion party from
Cincinnati or Pittsburgh, and it is
feared that many of them are lost.

immigration.

1t is the opinion of gentlemen fa-
miliar with the topography of our
State-with its valleys, plains, glades
and foothills-that California-to
and country-is capable of supporting
ten millions of people; that her agri-
cultural, commercial and mineral in
terests will afford employment for a
population at least fifteen times greater
than we now possess. A correct CEN
sus of the State would show that our
entire population does not exceed
three-quarters of one million. Yet
now that the interior press, after years
of patien and untiring industry, has
turned the tide of immigration toward
the Pacific Coast-now that the faces
Of thousands of laboring men and
women are turned toward the State of
rich valleys, golden sands and sunny
climes, and the prospect is favorable
for that accession to our population SO

The Kern county Courier of April
Oath savS:

The Kern county Courier of April
oath says:
1t is gratifying to see that so influential and
leading u journal as the Record Union is ex-
posing the fraudulent colonization schemes
that are gotten up in the Southern part of the
State. Nospecial instance is alluded to. but
the Lompoc and Centineia schemes are clear
ly indicated. We are acquainted with both
these tracts, and when such lands are sold at
high prices to Immigrants on the representa-
ton that they are productive II must in time
create reaction not only against Southern
California but the entire state. II is exasper-
ating and sad as exasperating to see the immi-
grant swindled not only of his purchase
money but all that he subsequently invests in
cultivation and improvement. 1t is the duty
OF the leading papers of the State to ex pose all
schemes of this kind gotten up in localities
where 1t Is known that neither the advantage
OF irrigation. nor the arabic land to apply 1t
exists, ifit did.
We publish this merely to show our
people who their friend are. Nothing
could have astonished us more than
finding this paragraph in that paper;
and we blushed with very shame for
the editor when we read, ave are
acquainted with these tracts, etc."
and the statement that followed. We
are satisfied the editor never put foot
on the Centinela Rancho i'm his life,
and therefore knows nothing under
heavens about it, and is, of course,
guilty of willful Misrepresentation.
This is the most charitable construc-
tion we can put ON the matter. For if
he had ever visited that ranch and
looked over it, he would have known
that his statement in regard to the
quality of the land was false in the
extreme. A more beautiful and fertile
body of land cannot be found on the
Pacific Coast. The purchasers too
have every guarantee that men can
have, that they will receive a perfect
and undisputed title the moment the
land is paid for. If they wish to pay
for their land tomorrow they can get
guaranteed title backed by millions
of dollars. But for the comfort of both
the Courier editor and Sacramento
Union, We will just state that not one
foot of the Centinela was purchased by
the "poor emigrants," but by men
who were well acquainted with the
ranch, having lived here many years.
They knew it was selling below its
real value, and bought it either to sell
again or keep, as they please. We are
informed that the same was the case
at the Lompoc sale. Will this fact
compose those benevolent gentlemen
at Bakersfield and Sacramento? We
may as well state that such slanderous
statements in regard to people and
country as have repeatedly been made
by these journals about tSouthern Cali
fornia and the people, indicates ma
licious treachery that ought to fright
en- not only emigrants but old citizens
out of any country.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1875-04-28

One of the finest improve ments in
the city will be the rebuilding OF the
Lafayette Hotel. The whole of the
back of the house is already being
torn down, and the front will shortly
be built up. The stores will be just
half as large as they are now, and, as
the Important has very large stock
on hand, they will not have half room
enough for their goods and in order to
prevent them from being damaged by
dirt and dust, they have decided to
sell all their Spring goods at less than
cost, and others, such as cottons, table
linen, ETC., at exact cost. We advise
all to call at the Important and con-
vince themselves Of the great bar
gains. Such bargains they can never
get again, and in order to prevent a
great rush, we advise all to call early
and take advantage of the building of
the Lafayette Hotel. a16
