lnE LABOR QUEsTION.-In the Calavcras
(Cai.) Chronicle We find n well considered ar
ucle on the labor question, in which there is
much food for reflection. II concludes:
We are Of the opinion, however. that there
~ no necessity FOR the apparent want and
distress existing in San Francisco. No State
IN tine lmon offers so wide and diversified n
hcId Tor the employment of labor as Cali
lorna. In the agricultural and mineral dis
tricts, the demand for labor is i'll excess Of the
supply. Plenty uf employment can be had
Tor the seeking. There are railroads being
built bitches being dug quartz mines worked
aud lands titled. The bono and sincw Of the
State need not remain inactive unless il,
chooses. 1t is nothing but an iufatuution for
CITY life that chains the starving masses of
san Francisco. They prefer city wrcched-
hess to country happiness. Willing hands
can find plenty Of work anywhere outside OF
San franc!sco, at prices that will not necessi-
tate appeals to the public authorities for
bread.

The London Times of October Is says of M.
de Lhuys:-"This eminent gentleman, formerly
ambassador from France at the English Court,
was on Wednesday evening guest at the annual
dinner of the Royal Jersey Agricultural aud
Horticultural Society. In replying to the toast
drunk to him as President of the Societe
d'Agriculture de France, he was very deeply
affected, and apologized that the state of his
feelings would not permit him to dwell at such
length as he could wish on O subject which en-
gagged SO much of his attention as that of agri-
culture. He said, You cannot expect from me,
In the melancholy circumstances to which my
presence among you is attributable, any very
extended or f1owery speech. / may well adopt
the language of the Hebrew children OF old, and
say "How can / sing a song in a strange land?"

CROWN DIAMONDS.
The Diamond District of South Africa-GIOrIes
of GOieOnda OuIdone.


DIAMOND FIELDS, Vaal River, Aug IA, 1870.
Our party have succeeded in obtaining per-
mission from Mr.. Kallenburg, missionary at
Pniel Mission Station, to work on the - farm
on the " Free State side of the Vaal river. On
the first day we took out two diamonds, perfect
beauties, that Will do to set without cutting or
polishing. 1t is astonishing what great pro-
portion of the diamonds are of first water, per-
feet shape, and free from specks and flaws and
another astonishing thing 10 the great proper
tion of large ones found. In Brazil only one in
10000 reaches eighteen karats here about one
in 200. You constantly hear of and see five,
six, and eight karat diamonds, that have been
found mostly on the other side of the river,
scattered, on this side, they are mostly small
but you can depend upon finding
SEVERAL DIAMONDS ON EACH CLAIM
of thirty feet square. When say small mean
an average of one carat each. These are con-
home diamonds that take sixty TO make one
carat Mr. Kallenburg demands one-fourth of
the productions of each claim kind of
royalty for the privilege of working the claim.
Mr. Babbest obtained q concession of the
estate some two months ago for the purpose
of mining; he went away and did not return
until few days back, when he found that at least
two hundred miners were working II, and that
Mr.. X. had pocketed the one-fourth royalty
amounting to some thousands of pounds ster-
ling. He demanded this from Mr.. X, who re-
fused TO give il up, alleging that Mr.. Is. had de-
serted the estate and left all the labor TO him.
Mr.. Is. Immediately posted off TO Bloemfontlen,
the capital, to demand that the estate should be
handed over 10 him. All the miners a'e anxious

Murder of Mary Mohrman-TriaI of HanIon.
Court Of Oyer and Terniner-Judges LIIdLoio and
Peirce.
This was the day fixed for the trial of the young
man John Hanlon, alias Char es Hanlon, alias
Charles K. Harris, who was indicted last June for
the murder OF the child Mary MOhrman, at Sixth
and Dauphin streets, the 9Th OF September, 1S6S
Our readers doubtless remember this murder
from the fendsh brutality that distinguished 1t from
all other murders committed in this community
within the memory of any man living, the victim
being sweet, innocent little girl, and her person
having been shamefully violated before the fatal
blow was given; and also from the deep and SEEM
inRly impenetrable mystery in which it was for a
long time enyeloped The accused has been in pri-
son about year, and was there when this charge
was preferred against him. His face, which is
cleanly shaved has now the pallid appearance that
always follows a long confinement In close CELL
where the rays OF the sun are seldom seen. He is
below the medium height, but is we'll built, and ap-
pears to be about twenty-five years OF age. He has
brown hair and blue eyes, is not a repusiveoOking
person, and is dressed genteelly.
He is represented by John 7. O'Neiu and Benja-
min ii. Brewster, Esqs., who at the time OF our
going 10 press were engaged In selecting jury.
Many juroIs were disqualified by conscientious
scTuples on the subject OF capital punishment, and
by having formed or expressed an opinion as 10 the
guilt or innoceece OF the prisoner.

down the royalty to ten per cent. OF the produc-
tion, instead of twenty-five, as now enforced.
DIAMONDS ARE STILL BEING FOUND
on this estate in regular proportion to the in
crease of miners. There are about two hun
dred claims taken, worked by men, women, and
children, of all kinds and colors. The average
yield is about thirty diamonds day, averaging
in value about f7 each. Whenever q large one
is found, which is about once week, it brings
the average up to G10 each.
RUMoR
is out that 100 carat diamond has been found,
worth 940, 600, but no one has seen 1t at head
quarters and 1t is not believed. The diamonds
on the other side are not so plentiful or pure as
those found on this side, but they average .
carats each with value of els each; the ave-
rage yield is about thirty day from three hum
dred claims. No very large ones have been
known to be found since Proctors 29l5 carat
one, valued at e2500; perhaps a dozen have
been found since weighing g. 10, and IL carats.
The 63 carat one found near it is supposed
to be sell, as parties at headquarters say
it was found long ago, and that it is brought
into the field again To find verdant
purchaser. 1t is miserable-lookiug stone,
about the thickness of your finger and half an
inch long, fit for nothing but boast, and worth
about G150, they say. The claims on this side
are deeper than on the other. We have gone
down eleven feet, and have not got to the bot
tom of the gravel yet, whereas on the other
side the gravel is only from six inches to three
feet deep. Diamonds have been found on this
sue at u UepUu OI SIX I66I, 30 IaTs we luJenQ TO
90 to the bottom of our claim if there is any.
Most of the miners, however, believe in most
diamonds being found near the surface and
they do not go deeper than three feet generally.
There is steady
INCREASE OF MINERS
every day-about twenty-five wagons q day
arriving. Each company consists of from two
to six white men, and from two to six Kafirs.
There are about one thousand miners and their
families on the other side.
AN ELECTION
took place last night by which twelve commit
teemen and q president thereof were elected.
They invited the President of the Transaval Re-
public end Orange Free State to conference
On the 18th of this month, tomorrow, to settle
the question of ownership of the diamond fields
on that side of the river. They also invited the
Kaffir Chiefs Waterboer, John Blaem and Jantje,
who all claim the country.
AN IRON STORE
arrived here few days ago, and is up, and full
of all kinds of goods, provision, clothing, hard
ware, etc, at very reasonable prices. Coffee,
one shilling per pound. Sugar, nine pence per
pound. Sheep, ten shillings each. Beef, four
pence per pound. Cord meal, fourteen shil-
lings bushel A large tent was erected here
with an iron roof, and billiard table put in it..
Sixty pounds day is taken in from pool aud
whisky. There are at least ten whisky mills
going now, but the miners are not much given
to drunkenness, and altogether they are very
orderly set.

JEFF. DAVIS.

Fav0rlto.

What the virsininns Think of Him-Lee their
Favorlte.
A correspondent of the Washington Star
writes:-
jeff Davis, who has been on q visit to Europe
for the past year, arrived in Alexandria yester-
day morning, en- route to his home in Mississippi,
via Memphis. He reached the city on the mail
diately to the Mansion House, where he regis
tered his name, Jefferson Davis" without
giving his residence, and was assigned to room
No. "a. He remained at the hotel about an
hour during which time he was visited by
number of persons, but no very fervid demon
stration was made, owing to the fact that the
admirers of the head of the defunct Confederacy
in the ancient town of Alexandria
are not numerous. General Lee was their
favorite and whenever he visited that city was
the recipient of every attention. Davis has his
friends here, however, yet many of the citizens
of the place who were in sympathy with the lost
cause and served in the Southern army openly
denounce him. After remaining at the Mansion
House a short time he (Davis) took carriage
and, in company with General NJ. ID. Corse, late
of the Confederate army, drove out to the resi-
dence of James M. Mason, formerly United
States Senator from Virginia, on Seminary Hill
about three miles from the city, where he dined
and then proceeded to the residence of General
Samuel Cooper, in the same locality, where he
remained all night He returns to Alexandria
this evening" in time to take the boat for Aqua
creek and thence to Richmond by the Frede-
ricksburg and Potomac Railroad. He looks
much the same as he did three years ago, ex-
cept that he is grayer. His health is very good
since his European visit, and he appeared quite
cheerful yesterday.
