and Corruption carried nearly all the large
counties, by small majorities. Locofocosm
is 10 re'gn four years longer; by that time
they will have the State bankrupt is moi
far from it at this time. Bigler has pad
from the treasury $258, 900 to support diff.
ferent pet papers of his own selection
The stamp act of olden time is in full force
and virtue; no notice of any kind is legal I'm.
less inserted in certain Locofoco paper nam.
ed by the Legislature; no such thing a:
sticking up notices in public places, or in.
sorting in wing paper. lam G lad that The
wings are beaten, for ifthey were 10 take hole
now and right up things, they would get nc
credit for it. In few years more the opposite
party will be SO completely galded, they
will be glad to be relieved of the yoke which
bears SO heavily upon them; the people Oh
this State are taxed ten per cent: do yor
suppose they will stand it long? There i.
more corruption in the government of Cal
iforna than is recorded in any history
modern or ancient-it is this heavy tax thai
hires presses 10 throw sand in the people S
eyes.
There has been great excitement all over
the State in this election, and if the wings
could have had an equal chance, they would
have left the other party SO far behind that
they would never rally again.
You wings were very remiss in your du.
ty to lei that sly Fox. Jackson get 10 Con.
grcss,l hope Benton will crush HIM this time
He is not in Congress, but pretty we
crushed, already.
We have delightful weather; have new
er spent SO pleasant a summer; the night.
and mornings are so cool and fine: you cannot
imagine how we enjoy our nights-not mus
quote, nor nothing TO interrupt us,we lie snug
under blanket every night during the
summer; it is very unpleasant to be out as
the dust is so very deep in consequence OF
not having any rain during the summer; i
is like the dense fogs which you see upor
/ your river sometimes.
There has been great loss in stock If
crossing the plains this summer. suppose
not less than one third, great many dealers
have become discouraged and will never
try itagain. If a man makes money BY the
trade, he must become a permanent settle
here, as he cannot sell short of lively,
months, and it takes near that time TO fat
ten them; poor cattle will not sell for NOR,
than half price. would advise persons
before they engage in,so hazardous a trade
TO inform themselves. As am q perna
nent settler can make it pay, but it vii
take two or three years TO work them off
the price is going down and will continu,
10 do So. | believe farming 70 be the best. an,
most certain to pay; mining is different from
what had thought it vast is carried OF
by companies, and requires heavy capital
that has undergone greater change thar
anything else. 1t is almost useless for ;
man to come here without money, it is III,
hardest country 10 live in of any other; ne
man should come unless he had at least on,
thousand dollars; by the time he spends that
economically, he may see something tt
pitch into. | am fearful will weary your
| patience so stop. The Times" comes re.
gularly, and welcome visitor it is.
