A Farmers Convention.

The farmers of the northwest meet
in convention at Chicago to-day, to
look to the great interests in common.
The purpose of this convention is to
discuss the overcharges in transpOrta-
ton; to incite and perfect the organi-
zation of the agricultural and other
industrial classes, who chiefly suffer
from these overcharges, in every
State, territory and province in the
country, with the view of throwing a
combined and overwhelming infiu-
ence against their further depreda-
tiOns; and to take snch measures as
shall secure prompt and efficient legis
lation, that shall end in the complete
extinction of all railways and other
monopolies now preying upon the in
dustrial interests of America. The
prospects are that large attendance
will be present, and if they shall deal
with the questions before them in
moderation, not too rapidly, not un-
der the suppostion that the farmers
interests and the railroad interests
are entirely antagonistic, a great deal
of good will be accomplished.

PROSPECTUS
--OF---
THE LOS ANGELES HERALD.

The first of October, TIE Los ANGELES ii Err
AID, daily and weekly newspaper, will
make its appearance. The Daily will be n
neat and tastily printed seven-colnmn news
paper, newsy rather than literary in charac-
ter The Weekly will be six-column, eight
page paper, and will contain the most impor-
tant matter that has previously appeared in
THE DAILY HERALD.
1t is proposed that the HERALD shall be an
unbought advocate of every interest pertain
ing to Southern California and Arizona, and
Il jealous worker In all things that shall tend
to benefit the State. In a word it will be in
close communion with the People. In its col
umns, from time to time will be found mat
ters of interest to the California Farmer, Me-
chanic, Merchant, Iaborer, and all classes of
Producers; and 1t will also contain reading
matter suited to the Home Circle.
The HERALD will be an Independent Demo-
cratic Journal and its efforts directed to sweep
ing from power and place those now misman-
aging the affairs ofthe Nation. For the accom-
plshmcnt of this end, 1t will hail with satisfi,c
tion the cooperation ofthe members of all Par
ties, believing that the prosperity, perhaps
safety, OF the Nation depends upon the success
ola movement ofthis character. 1t is" reform
now or revolution hereafter"
The HERALD Will advocate State Rights and
oppose Capitalization; 1t will encourage White
and oppose COolie lmmigrntlen. Ii will favor
Free Trade, and oppose Protective Tariff; 1t
will advocate tireenback Currency for Call
fOrnia, and oppose the present dwarfng and
deadening policy which upholds the present
rulinous rates of interest and shuts out Eastern
capital 1t will advocate the People and OPP
pose MonOpolies, no matter what guse they
may assume.
While the HERALD will treat Slavery as q
dead issue, it will earnestly advocate the
right OF every State, be 1t Northern or South
ern-- Massachusetts or South Carolina-tO gov
ern itself in accordance with the wishes of its
people, and the dictates of the Federal Con-
stitltiOn, without national Interference.
The HERALD will oppose thieving and pecu-
latlon. No man rightly owns dol ar until
he earns it. Every dollar which ls taken
from the public treasury. or private purse
takes this money is Il thief Believing this,
the HERALD will oppose salary steals custom
steals, land steals, railroad steals, and every
kind of steals.
Telegrams will be published. The aim will
be to supply, In this part of the state, the de-
mand heretofore filled by the san Francisco
daies. No trouble or expense will be spared
to make the HERALD, IN this respect, equal to
tain q full Review of the Local and Foreign
Markets, ami the Trades generally, honestly
and carefully complied.

Notwithstanding that almost innumerable ru-

and fortune OF the Polaris, it is now an unde-
niable fact that rom her departure in 1871, up to

information is now announced from the

Certainly we must recognize in this miraculous
surviving net only the favorable coincidence Of
circumstances but beyond that the mercifnl and

Captain Hall died on the 9th day OF November,
| A. D. 1871, or the first Winter after his arrival
North. From this point the expedition loses al
most all interest, regarded from scientific point
OF view or in respect OF Its legitimate and only
object. Its subsequent history consists OF col
lection OF facts and experiences, forming nara
tive almost impossible to believe.
No discriminating man would wonder that II any
two persons both, perhaps, reliable In point OF
veracty should relate their experiences Of fact in
. widely different manner, some discrepancies
capable OF being substantially reconcied should be
found 1t would be much less a matter OF aston
ishment that their statements, when involving an
effort OF Judgment rather than memory should so
widely diverge as TO be inconsistent and untrust-
worthy But when such period as SIX months is
the subject OF comment and reorganization, with
nineteen individuals OF different capabilities and
dispositions and habits OF rejection, what wonder
If much that one relates is omitted by another, or
that widely different differences should be deduced
from identical facts, ana especially when there
may possibly exist an undiscovered variety OF In
terests IDS probable, therefore, that some strik
ing Inconsistencies may be discovered in this
account. AA @
