Land swlaaElns EzsrasEd.nary !

Theland swindles brought to light in CAL
ifornia are perfectly astounding, and involve
a hundred millions of dollars It appears by
the report of Attorney General Black on the
subject, that after the acquisition Of the ter
ritOry Of California by the United States
eight hundred and three claims, covering
l,14ss square miles of country, were made
by private individuals, under Mexican grants.
What first raised suspicious of their genuine
ness was that they included all the best min
eral and agricultural regions Of California
and all the places, best suited for Lighthouses
fortifcations, ports, military stations, and in
fact, every spot in the State which was likely
to prove indispensable either to the State or
Federal Government. There was not place
70 be found for public building which was
not held by some private individual, SSunder
giant from the Mexican Government, or con-
Eeyance from the original grantee, at an en-
ormous price. When the parties were finally
put to their proofs before the United States
District Court, documents were produced
DcdLLLlE every hppcaLhHCb Ol huLuG4tACAtJ }
they were sworn to by hosts of witnesses; and
even Medcans in a high political and social
position, members of the Government and
others, came on to San Francisco to vouch
for them under oath.
The result was, that the larger portion Of
them passed muster before the District Court,
and were duly confirmed. The conviction of
their falsity was, however, so strong at Wash
imgton, that the President sent special counsel
out to California in February, 1868, to give
the proofs thorough oYerhauling. The ar
chieves Of the former Government were then
for the first time carefully collected and ex-
smined and classified, and they furnish am
pie evidence that the vast majority Of the
deeds and grants presented to the Land Com
missioners and the United States District
Court were barefaced but ingenious forgeries
Il was ascertained that claims to the value Of
$4,000, 900 were supported BY the most
deliberate and systematic fraud and perjury,
and they were all carried up to the Supreme
Court, where twJ-thirds Of them have been
already annulled, and the others win share
the same fate in due course. The.eost of the

The State Journal Of the 18th says that Col.
Hsrris, Of the Ohio CultiYatOr, one Of the
Commissioners appointed by Gov. DenniSOn,
has just returned from the East, and reports
considerable anxiety among the people in
consequence Of the continued spread and
further development Of the Cattle Disease in
Massachusetts, Connecticut and New Jersey.
Col. h. thinks that many reports Of the
breaking out ofthis disease in distant quar-
ters is much exaggerated BY the fears Of the
people, as it seems hardly possible that the
malady can be propagated except by direct
contact, like small -pox, 80 that complete $50
lation Of healthy herd from contact with
other animals Is a pretty sure safeguard
from infection. To secure this, the most
prompt and thorough measures must be a
dopted, and the importation Of ell neat cattle
from the East, among our Western herds,
should be entirely stopped, for the season OF
least. both by purchase or for exhibition at
our Agricult6ral Fairs. The Report Of the
Ohio Commission will be looked for with in
terest, and the substance Of their inYestiga-
tons viii very soon be madepublic.
