The resignation of Postmaster General Cres-
vel! was unexpected and took many by sur
prise. Mr.. Creswells action as head OF the
Postofice Department has been very much
criticised, and mputatiops Of misconduct have
been freely made upon him. He has, how
ever, been indicated by the committees Of
Congress which have Inquired into the matters
complained Of and it is said by his friends that
be feels that now is a proper time for him to
carry out an intention which he has had for
some time, to give up position the honor of
which does not compensate for the labor and
vexation attached to it. The vacant position
has been. rendered to MIR. Eugene Hale, of
Maine, son-in.law Of Senator Chandler who, it
is said, will accept.

THE CALIFORNIA WHEAT Crop this year,
if the reports of the prospects there are not ex.
sggerated, will be al enormous one The San
Francisco papers say the lowest estimate Of the
surplus for export this season is double the ex-
portation of the last crop. Last year nearly
100000 acres in California we're sown with
wheat, the yield being q comparatively small
one on account Of untavorable weather, there
being about l9 000 900 bushels given. This
year at least twv millions of acros are sown in
wheat, aud the anticipated yield is much hcav.
lear per acre, so that the average Of the eSti-
mates of the expected crop is $4,000, 0OO bush
els. Calculations Of the expected home and
seeding consumption of wheat in California
place it at not over 100000 of bushels, so
that at least 26,00O0OO bushels will be AVAIL
able for export.
