h G.liEsr.i. /. Great State .

A San Francisco correspondent Of the Chicago
Tribune does not present a very brilliant picture
of affairs in the Golden State. He says:
The agricultural resources Of the State are in,-
mense, and in greater variety than can I've found
on the globe. The prodigious wheat crop last
year is as yet, in large part unseld. The wine
product is very great and valuable. The mines
of California produce annually S25, 600 600. The
aggregate agricultural product is probably four
times that of the mines. Woollen- -manufact,l-
ring, leather, sh"es, wagons, harness, and other
manufacturing are not incOnsaerable, while the
Navy-Yard at MarrIsand in addition to the
ordinary work of our own Government, is about
to undertake the repair of Russian ships, and the
furnishing of stores, to the amount Of e. 900 600
the money being already on deposit here to pay
the bills.
With these resources, and Others which are not
named, it would seem that hard times onght to
be comparatively unknown in California. Yet
am satisfied, from what have seen and heard.
that there are more poverty and destitution here
more poor people ont of work, seeking work, and
unable to get work to do; more men working
hard for low wages,-wages just sufficient to
enable them to live from hand to mouth; more
merchants and business men complaining of hard
times and dull trade: more hOuse-Owners in the
cities and large towns unable to get a fair rent !;
more stock -raisers, and wool growers, and far
ners complaining of low priees,-than can be
fonnd elsewhere in the United States. In this
city, real estate ia rapidly the decline and al
most all kinds Of business at q stand-still. Mining
stocks were never slow, and yet it would seem
that they have not yet touched bottom. The
hotels are empty, and they ought to be; stores
and houses stand empty, or are paying a very
nominal rental; and everything indicates general
depression. heard much said about the proba-
bic eanse Of this state of things, and the general
conclusion seems to be, that there arc three sar-
ses which contribute to the general result:
Fisf-MonOpoly Of the soil by few capitalists
and railroads.
Sccond-An exclusive financial system. which
isolates the State from the other United States.
Tkird-The importation If Chinese labor with,
which American labor cannot successfully COM

THE LAST CONGREss.-The Os,lensbnrsh Jour
nal, recalling the maxim that fair play is jew
el"-insisfs that there is much 10 be said for
the much-abused forty-secon'l Congress. Herr
are some of the points it makes:
The forty-second Congress did great deal for
the people. 1t reduced the taxes which are col
lrcted from them tn the extent Of O,OO.OOO per
year. 1t was the farty-second Congress that re-
stored the privilege to drink free tea and coffee.
The taxes which are now collected by the Fed
eral Government, except upon imports and to-
baccO and spirits, are merely nominal; and truth
compels us to state that it was the forty-second
Congress that removed these burdens from the
people. ado something for" construed by q
good many people in these latter days, means to
give you fat Office, or divide the plunder Of n
raid upon the public treasury, or some other
questionable transaction In this meaning Of
''dio," the defunct Congress expended its efforts
in its own behalf, and in no other. If due credit
is given for the burdens removed, We would like
tn have some one, competent tn state the facts,
tell us which of all the forty-one preceding Con-
gresses did more for the people.

PULLMAN AND ms SPIES.

welfare of civilization of the country from whence
it derives its support 1t is like parasitic plant

George Pullman are attached To nearly all the

This individual, whe has obtained 50 much no

in Kansas, is not stranger t. Tennessee. He

ders will remember that about the time Of the
enlistment of these troops, there were certain
agents from Massachusetts in this State, enlsting
colored soldiers tn fill the quota of that State
These agents received from 81 600 to g. 500 bonn
ty for each soldier 81 enlisted. Many Of the SOL
ders Of the regiment above referred to, were
enlisted As Mass. recruits and were credited to
that State. The Colonel and 1t. Colonel of the
Regiment, were implicated in these transactions,
and were said to have received $4,000 for each
recruit in their regiment enlisted and credited
to Mass. We are Informed that Capt. York was
probably the author of the plot by which these
officers were induced to take part in these unaw-
full transactions, and which resulted in their
being court martialed, convicted and sentenced,
1t. Col Jackson to pay fine of S25 100000 or to

five years; and Col. T. JEFF. Downey to be dis
missed from the service. At all events Capt.
York was the principal witness against them;
and after their removal he was made Colanel Of
the Regiment. 1t was generally believed that he
acted ~ spy, infOrmer and prosecutor against
them, in order to accomplish his own ambitions

stopped at nothing which could contribute to his
