THE ENORMOUS WHEAT CROP OF
CALIFoRNIA.-A correspondent of the
Chicago Tribune says: Count Califor-
mia in your next estimates as the first
wheat growing State in the Union.
| The California wheat crop of 1867 did
not fall much short of 10000 bushels,
if, indeed, it die not exceed that a.
mount, and, as it realized fully $3.50
in gold per bushel, it follows that we
are to-day 50,000,0 900 better off for it.
Add to that the value of four million
gallons of wine and brandy, and an al
most incalculable fruit crop, and you
have some idea Of the money realized
by the farmers of California this year.
According to the report of the asses
sor Los Angeles country last year pro-
duced 100000 gallons of wine and
100000 of brandy and this year $780,
900 bushels of corn, 100000 of barley,
and $4,000 Of wheat. The annual crop
of oranges is worth 1927 900; of walnuts,
$102, 900, and of lemons, $85, 900. The
average value of production per acre
cultivated is given at S127. The Les
Angeles News says: 'By the passage
of law abolishing the fence system,
and the building of arailroad from this
city to some point on the bay of San
Pedro, the present figures will be more
than quadrupled." And Los Angeles
is but third-rate county in population
and comparative development of her
recource5. The figures, it must be re-
membered, ARE to be understood as coin,
not greenbacks. Stimulated by this
great success, our farmers are taking
hold with renewed energy, since this
present rainy season has set in, and it
is now certain in 1868 we shall have
| | ,O0O, 900 acres in wheat alone. Give
the average of thirty bushels per acre
the estimate is a low one for Califor-
nia-and we shall have 30,000,0OO BUSH
els of wheat. This beats Wisconsin,
and places California in the front rank
of fwheat-producing States.
Our corn crop is of small account, and
the barley and oats crops will, perhaps,
be less than in 1867, but the aggregate,
you can see, will be enormous. And
yet California is but in her teens, not
half nor quarter developed. What a
future she has before her! With all
her drawbacks they are many
she is the the State to live in after
all.

SHOCKING OUTRAGE BY NEGROES
IN SOUTH CAROLINA.-About eleven
o'clock on Friday night, five negroes
came to the store of Mr.. NJ. A. Muld-
row, in Darlington district, and rap
ping up the clerk, Mr.. r. Sugs, asked
admittance. Mr.. Sugs enquired who
they were, and receiving the response
that they were friends come to trade
with him, opened the door of thestore.
-Four negroes, armed with double-bar-
relied shot guns, entered, and placing
their weapons in the corner of the
room, commenced examining goods,
remarking that they were in the en-
ploy ofthe railroad, had just been paid
off, and desired to make purchases to
the extent of ten dollars each. About
fifty dollars worth of goods were selec-
ted, when one of the number asked Mr..
Sugs if he could change treasury note
of the denomination of one hundred
dollars. The wife-of Mr.. Sugs, who
was in an adjoining room, heard the
remark, and her suspicious being eX-
cited by it, she went out of the back
door to the house of gentleman NAM
ed Wyndham, and requested him to
come to the store and in caseany troub-
lie should occur to render Mr.. Sugs
what assistance he could. Mr.. Wynd-
ham complied taking gun with him,
and as he reached the store he heard
the report of a shot. He threw open
the door and was Immediately fired
upon five times by the negroes. He
returned thefire, when they rushed up
ON him and seized his gun, and scuf-
fie ensued, during which he managed
to effect his escape, and, repairing to
Mr.. Muldrow's house, reported the
condition of affairs. AS soon as
the latter could dress and arm himself,
he ran to the store, accompanied by
Mr.. Wyndham. Thereall was quiet,
and entering they found the shelves OF
the store completely stripped, the mon
ey desk robbed, and the clerk, Mr..
Sugs, lying dead on the floor, load OF
buck-shot having passed through his
head. From this melancholy scene
Messrs. Muldrow and Wyndham went
to the house of the latter, where they
found Mr.. Wyndham's father-in-law
had been dangerously shot twice in
the head, and his wife in three differ
ent places on the person by the same
party of negroes Charleston Courier.

lightful. u Az .tI' ..
Far be 1t from us to question the sincerity
OF these expressions. OF course the Demo-
cratic journalists always mean exactly what

realized their hopes and fulfilled their high

or this parade of pleasne becomes arrant
hypocrisy. ..
But really there are few points on which
explanation would be satisfactory. For
months past the same presses have poured
forth lamentations ever the condition of the
country, and the necessity of Democratic
success as a means of averting ab 'Olute ruin.
They declared that everything is in a bad
way, and that the election of Seym Jur was
required to put things right. They asserted
that Democratic defeat on the 81 of November
would be- equivalent to national disaster. TO
avert go great a calamity they have fought
with the energy of des psratiOn in every State
in the Union. They have sanctioned riot aud
assassination, perjury and fraud, simply aud
solely because they were anxious TO make
Seymour President. A long record of crimes
pei petrated in his behalf forbids the supposi-
tion that the Democrats did not desire his
election. The only decentralization they then
dreaded was the Generalization incident to
defeat.

The Party Of Fraud.

From the ". Y. World
Horace Greeley's 'blockheads" were to
have held jury of inquest on the dead body
of New York radicalism Thursday night at the
Union League. Whether they were TO do this
out a genuine desire to ascertain "who
killed Cock Robin" in spite OF his monitor
mail OF brass, or merely as an excuse for eat
ing certain number of small birds and i'm
bibiDg reasonable quantity of champagne,
We know not, neither do We greatly care. But
if they ''meant business" We hope they paid
proper attention to the Tribune of Thursday.
In that veTacious journal it stands recorded
that on Tuesday last 'one w. H. B."-possi-
bly, member OF the great chronometrical
family of Blunt--cane ''at one of the polls
upon ga gang of about twenty roughs."
These 'rOughs'' w. Ii. b. saw vote, aud, as
he says, 'irnmediately proceeded to the next
polling district and voted again ~
Obviously, a strict construction of this
statement would require US to understand
that W. II. B., surprising the "roughs" to be
Democrats, and anxious to neutralze their
votes, went off, broke the law, and voted him
self ''in the next polling district"
But w. II. b. is probably an importation
from one of those rural and radical districts in
which the school teachers are as destitute of
grammar as the school-houses are of the most
ordinary cOnveniences for securing decency.
He, doubtless, does not mean that he voted
twice himself, and is only trying, in his
clumsy, ignorant way, to make us understand
that he saw the twenty roughs'' aforesaid
vote twice. If his time had allowed, he adds,
he has no doubt he could have seen them vote
again and again.
We have no doubt of It, for as w. H. B.
goes on to show, these "rOughs" were an Or
ganzed gang of radical "repeaters, who had
perfectly good understanding with the radi-
Cal inspectors and the radical police. When
w. Ii. B. "asked police oticer'' il he could
be assisted in challenging" these 'rough5, -
the oomplacent minion of Kennedy and Acton
replied, you'll run chance of having your
head bloke."
AID so W. H. B., valuing his head more
than liberty and the rights of man and the
purity of the ballot, and all the rest of it,
ignobly went his way. The radical "roughs'
voted all day, very possibly electing by theil
votes the one radical Assembyman, Mr.. Rich
mond, who has slipped into the city delega
tiop, and ofsetting one knows not how many
honest votes of honest Democratic citizens.
Will the ''blockheads' look into this bus
ness If they do not, we trust the Demo
cratic authorities will do so. Let W. Ii. b
be put into one of General Meade's "sweating
boxes" until he exudes the truth and shame:

From the N. T. Evening POa
In war, it is said, blunder is worse than a
crime; and the blunders of the Tammany
conspirators on Tuesday night threaten to bs
more damaging TO their reputation, and more
dangerous to their success, than even the enor-
nous crimes they had committed in forging
votes during the day.
The reports from the State received at Tam
many Hall by William M. Tweed, immedi-
ately after the election, seem TO have been,
like those received by others, very favorable
to the Republicans. He doubtless had, at 8
o'clock, in answer to the secret circular to
which the signature of Samuel j. Tilden was
forged, substantially the same returns which
reached the public about IL O'Clock, and
which satisfied the best judges that the State
had gone for Grant aud Griswod by sma all
majority in spite of this enormous majority of

The GrowI of the Gamblers.

From the NJ Y. World.
1t appears that Mr.. Joshua A. Griswold, who
has been fairly beaten as candi late on false
pretepse for the high ofioe of Governor of the
State OF New York, is not yet satisfied that
honesty is the best policy" One of the
journals, at least, which have been loudest in
trumpetipg Mr.. Griswold's 'false pretenses"
of service to his country in the matter of the
monitor which he failed to build in time,
thereby causing the loss to the naval service
of two noble ships, and of many noble lives of
seamep, announces that Mr.. Griswold, in con-
junction with that pure body Of patriots the
''Union League Club" dreams that he can
still get possession of Mr.. Fenton's Guberna-
torial mattress at Albany by putting forward
the "false pretense" that he has not been re-
jeoted by the vote of the people of New York.
1t is not possible to imagine a more hagrant
insult to the intelligence and the character Of
the Empire State.
Who are these people that dare to impute
fraud to the recognized and authentic majority
of their fellow citizens Their leading organ
is the New York Evening Post, journal whose
publisher, Mr.. Henderson, is still under in
dctment for the crime of malversation of the
public funds while filing responsible office
in this port under the Secretary OF the Navy |
They speak for a political organization of
which it is we'll known that not once nor
twice, but thrice, like the old woman who
sought to sell the slby lime 0raoles 10 the King
of Rome, they came to the chairman of the
legislative Committee on Cities and Villages,
himself a conspicuous but an honorable Re-
publican, asking him to give them new pro-
visions in the registry law such as might as
sure them the necessary means for breaking
down the Democratic majority in this city aud
in Brooklyn. All that they asked in the way
of preventive and of obstructive legislation
they secured. Now, with 1t all, they are
beaten, swamped, drowned out OF sight by
the overwhelming popular wave. Aud in
their despair they turn around upon the oom-
munity which repudiates them and ask that
Il hs indicted for fraud
Uttering themselves through such an organ,
