The late Republican Municipal
Convention, though 1t failed ia
nominate Mr.. Liohtenberger, paid
that gentleman q very well deserv-
ed compliment. In that body II
was stated, on authority, that Mr..
Lichtenberger did not desire a
nomination for Treasurer; that, In
fact, he had Withdrawn in favor Of
Mr.. Caswell. Notwithstanding
this fact, Mr.. Lichtenbsrger 70.

treasurers the city Of Los Angeles
ever had.

grape, in the vicinity of Orange, is
evidently . great success, judging
from the following letter, lately
addressed by Spear, Meade & Co.
to Mr.. r. L. Crowder, Of that place:
1--WE received by steamer Newport
to-day your first shipment of 80
boxes Of raisins. You will oblige
us by presenting our compliments
to the Messrs. Mcpherson Brothers
and say to them that the raisins
they send. If all equal to the few
bOxes we have opened, are by ell
odds the finest lot of California
raisins we have ever seen in this
market, aud we have been con.
nected with the California raisih
trade from its infancy. Ii Orange
can produce raisins of this quality
in sufficient quantities to supply
the demand that is now being cre-
ated for California raisins, then,
indeed, great will be the heritage
