coroner's Inquest.

The Coroner's inquest, yesterday,
upon the body found in the cafiOn
some eight or ten miles beyond the
Encino Ranch, was not very satisfac-
tory. All that could be ascertained
was that the man, whose name is as
yet unknown, was killed about three
miles from the CARVER Hotel, where
his clothes were found, and from there
the assassin must have taken him be-
hind the hills into this cafion, where
he was found distance of about five
or six miles from the place where the
clothes were found. The deceased was
shot through the head, which must
have killed him instantly, apparently
with o six-shooter. There is none but
circumstantial evidence against GER
tain parties, and therefore it is best as
vet to be silent about the suspicious
that are against them as having done
the, murder. The deceased was q
Mexican or Californian. He wore o
mustache and beard, and few gray
hairs were mixed into his deep black.
He was forty or forty-five years Of age,
was about five and half feet high,
wore blue overhauls and dark blue
flannel coat and moccasins. One Of
his upper incisor teeth was wanting.
This description may perhaps lead to
his Identification.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. "a late edi-
ton of last evenings Telegraph says
the California and Texas Construction
Company, engaged in building by con-
tract the Texas Pacific Railroad, is
unable to meet its paper maturing to-
day. The recent financial condition
of the company has rendered it i'm
possible for it to realize ready cash on
its assets, although they are very
largely in excess of its liabilities,
Over 100000 of its paper, most of it
endorsed by prominent stockholders,
went to protest. The liabilities of the
Construction Company are reported
to be $4,5O0,0 600 in notes, variously en-
dorsed, all maturing within 80 days;
$1,6OO,OOO of loans on collateral and
individual security, and $4,000 float
ing debt, amountingto to near 81 100000.
This amount, with over $780, 900 cash
paid on the stock, has been expended
in constructing the Texas Pacific Rail-
road, and there are three hundred
miles of road completed, equipped and
in operation; about $50 miles addi-
tional are graded bridged and ready
for iron. The resources of the Con-
struction Company consist of $4,000
per mile of completed road, first mort
gage bonds of Railroad Company Sc
cured by lien on road and its equip
ment and 1900 acres of land per mile,
granted by the State of Texas; over
$1,000, 900 of unpaid Construction
Stock, most of which will probably
be paid, and private property of indi-
vidual endorsers, which are very large.
1t is believed that the creditors,
most of whom hold large amounts
will speedily arrange for an extension
of the liabilities, so as to give the COM
pany time to realize without further
sacrifice.

The Herald DISPATCHES.

The morning cotemporary makes
faces and scolds madly. 1t publishes
about two-thirds Of the dispatches
which the HERALD does, falsifies in
regard to the matter, and institutes
omparison which it is hoped by the
HERALD its readers will make. If
they do they will be wiser and know
the foundation upon which this paper
based its assertion. The editors of the
HERALD may not have arrived at the
dignity and experience of Nestor, they
may not "have made their best hits
on Forney's Press" and been private
Secretary to his Excellency, President
Johnson, but they do get up the best
paper in Los Angeles county, and the
people do not require their age. They
want the paper. The proprietors OF
the HERALD are not in the press ar
rangement with other papers. They
get their dispatches almost entirely
from another collector of news. Of
course, as news is likely to be the
same, whether published in the
HERALD or its contemporary, and the
source of information is the same in
San Francisco, there is similarity in
some of the news. The great differ
ence is this: The HERALD gets
double the dispatches Of the other
morning paper.
Now as to equality. The HERALD
has given orders to the telegraph office
that the appointment of a postmaster
in southern California, is of more i'm
portance to its readers than fire in
Squedunkville, Skatawaber county,
Rhode Island. Consequently all mat
tiers of interest to the State, and espe-
cially southern California, are found
in its columns, and the fire or fight in
the above named town is left out.

NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-Tweed ap-
peared in the Court of Oyer and Ter
miner to-day, and when the case was
called Judge Fullerton said, before
any proceedings We're taken, that he
should hand in a paper, to which the
associate counsel for the prisoner
agreed to.
The paper is understood to be q pro-
test against Judge Davis presiding at
the trial, and when it was read by him
it seemed to excite his surprise and
indignation.
He characterized the paper as extra
ordinary and in part untrue, but he
declined to point out any particular
passage as Objectionable.
Mr.. Bartlett, of the counsel for the
defense, then said that if Judge Davis
was a saint from heaven, they would
have to take some course. Recess was
taken that Judge Davis might consult
his associates.
A Herald special, dated city of Mex

LOS NIET0S C0RRESP0N NDENCE.
Los NIETOS,

Los NIETOs, Nov. 3, 1873.
EDITOR HERALD:-Previous to the
advent of the HERALD in Los Angeles,
the outside world seldom heard of Los
Nietos, which is the granary of Los
Angeles county. believe that more
than half the grain produced in the
county is raised in this section. When
other parts of the country are parched
and look bare, Los Nietos reminds one
"Those fields arrayed in living green
And rivers of delight"
Old Gabriel must be proud of his
rivers, and no doubt he will shed
tear when he will have to blow that
blast that will dry them up forever.
Their waters have made Los Nietos
the garden spot of the world. The
'happy valley" described in john
sons Rasselas, where everything grew
with such Mxuriance, and where ripe
fruit fell from the trees every monthin
the year, is realized in Los Nietos.
Apple trees frequently bear three crops
a year, and semi-tropical fruits thrive,
With very little care vegetables can
be raised every month in the year.
One hundred tons of beets were raised
on a single acre OF Mr.. Tuttle's land in
one season near our new town at the ter
minus of the railroad, but as we have
no sugar factory yet, it will not pay to
raise beets.
1t might be asked why all the lands
watered by the San Gabriel rivers are
not planted in oranges, etc? My an
swer is that we are too poor to buy
the trees. Many of the settlers were
in destitute circumstances when they
met Governor Downey, five or six
years ago. He sold them homes at $40
per acre giving them ten years to pay
for them. A mistake was made in
buying more land than could be cul-
tivated. They did not known then
that five acres properly cultivated
would support large family. How
ever, they soon found that every acre
put in cultivation would pay for itself
in one year. The land is now selling
at 500 per acre.
Your correspondent "Observer" has
set the "ball rolling" towards our new
town. The BUSINESS men of Gallatin and
the business men of the college are
putting their houses on wheels and
rolling them into the new town,
while others are hauling timber from
Los Angeles and building new ones. :
Messrs. Griffith & Lynch will estab-
lish a lumber yard in our town in
few days.. If you have any idle car
penters send them out here.
Your correspondent "Observer" has
named our new town Nietos city, but
believe a majority of our people here
are in favor of calling it Downey city,
in honor of Governor Downey, the
first of the large land holders of Los
Angeles county, who divided up
his lands and furnished thousand
with homes. PROGRESS.
