The Mohave Plains.

Charles Nordhoff thus writes to the New York Tribune of portion of California:
 The Tehatchapie pass, by which the South. ern Pacific Railroad is to pass from Bakers field into the Mohave Plain, is part of the Tejon Rancho; and when came to drive in- to that great plain, which is just now the home of thousands of aDtelopes, saw an- other region fertile, only awaiting the rail road to be 'prospected' by settlers. The Mo- have Plains have the name of being unin- habitable; but they furnish abundant pastur- age for antelopes and deer. They lack run ming streams of water; but German, who is the first settler, has dug we'll and found good water without going far down; and saw on the plaln fine field of barley, al- most ready for harvesting, which showed the quality of the soil. Stretching far into the great uninhabited plain is singular and pie turesque mountain range, called the Lost Mountain,' which relieves the dreary desola- ton of great level, and promises, in it's canons, springs and streams, pleasant homes Tor the future settlers when the railroad opens this great uninhabited tract.

Under the above head, the San Diego Union of August Is, mentions receiving call from pr. H. Bendell, Superintendent of Indian Affairs for this Territory, and his belief is that the trip East taken by the Indians from Arizona, will result in good for both red and white men.
 Most of the Indians who went with Dr. Ben1ell and General Howard to Washington cio New Mexico, returned by railroad to San Francisco, and the Union says the steamer Ne~ 'ern had quite pile of baggage consist ing of presents given the Indians on their travels.

Paving and Grading.

II is our opinion that the city authorities
are decidedly in error in uacadamizing and
having certain streets which, if the public adj
miuistration of our affairs is at all wise, will
in short time be gradcd--and that tho
roughly. In some instances we observe that
the old gravel and clay crust was SO firm AID
thoroughly impacted that twaSa sort OF her,
culeap labor to break it up. Such a
crust could be little inferior. if at all. to
macadamized surface. And when we re-
member how heavily it costs the city to make
the change from the one to the other, we
should certainly think it better to put up
with things as they are for time. We
should do this in view of the poverty OF the
treasury, whether we intended to grade or
not but when VIC see, rs every practical
gentleman must. that there is to be consld-
cradle grading done ut day not far of, in
yolying latcrally the very streets now under
going costly improvements, we can hardly
see room for two opinions.
We must continue to press upon the at
tcntion of reople and rulers the Importance
of this grading. That most Immediately I'M
portant is the grade from Fourth to Eighth
on Main street. That done, the street rail-
wav would be admirably accommodated,
while the property on that street wesS OF
Eighth would be enhanced in value. and the
business and comfort of the citizens be llll-
mensely promoted. That grading would IN
yolvc some alterations in the grades OF the
streets now being improved, and it would
therefore turn out that money now expended
would better have been saved.
The street cars are Il necessity. NO city OF
any prctcnsion, and Of any trade TO speak OF,
can now do without that medium of travel.
Grade Main street, and the line may be built
out to Hollywood with but one single angle.
That would he II great advantage. Let all
concernctl-and who is notebook at the
question and examine the ground, and there
can be but one opinion. The work will not
be expensive. and will be productive of
vastly more good than the exchanging of the
solid and compact gravel crust of some
streets for the new pavement.

General Dix.

The announcement that General JOIN A.
DIX Is with the Liberal movement in the Re
publican party against the present Admin
stration, and was vice-president of the i'm
portant public meeting in New York on Fri
day night, attracts great deal of attention.
The General is unquestionably leader. He
and the late D. S. DICKINSON, of New York,
were the CASTOR and PoLLux lof the Demo
cratic party. DICKINSON was the gentler and
more sentimental Of the two. DIX is posi-
tive and arbitrary. He became u good Re-
publican ut the beginning Of the war. He
adopted the whole of the Republican creed,
which was simply opposition to the southern
resistance and determination to preserve
"the life Of the nation" That was all real
and fanciful that there was of republican
ism. After the war there was nothing left of
their platform. The South was conquered
and the "life Of the nation saved" (God
save us all y So what was to be done to keep
republicanism alive! Why only to !" save
the life Of the party and this last object has
been the beginning and the end of republican
ism since the war. TO continue to live and
to hold possession of the public treasury
that and nothing more-constitutes the prin-
ciple and purpose of the republicanism of this
day. This is more than General DIX bar
gained for, We suppose and having gone
through the war principles of rcpublicanism
he does not feel bound to drift into GRANT
republicanisln-th mere war for office and
for the possession Of the public treasury.
1t will be said that General DIX was DEM
ocrat; so was BUTLER, SO was GRANT, so were
81 host of Republican leaders of the present
day. 1t will be said that he has no influence.
But all this will be said to break an influence
which is acknowledged to exist by the very
attempt to destroy it.
We do not think General DIX great man :;
but he is great amongst the men he has re-
Gently consorted with, and the GRANT party
will be entirely unable to disparage him now
after making so much of him and putting
him during the war in one of the most i'm
portant positions they could give him. He
certainly adds much to the force of the Libe-
raj movement, and the ultra Radicals will be
unable 10 whistle him down the wind

If the civil service reform is to be aban-
doned We hope there will be no mistake as to
where the responsibility for such lament
able result belongs. 1t certainly does not
rest with the President, who has hbored
earnestly and practically to put tue reform
into operation.-Neao York Times.
This Is cool. The country is not aware
that any effort has been made ut civil service
reform. The President became infatuated
with the idea temporarily, and having So
cured the services Of a committee to frame
system to govern the service, he has turned
n efef to his subaltsrns, whs haYs absolutely
