Cucamongo Homestead.

EDITOR HERALD: You have stated that you
would give proposed purchasers some INFORM
alton relative to the lands, water privileges,
ETC., OF the Cucamongo Homestead Associa-
tion. Are you prepared to do SO nowY The
sale of the property is advertised to take
place ON Tuesday next, and In common
with others who contemplate purchasing,
would be thankful for al Information attain
able relative to the matter.
Los Angeles, January 20, 1875.
In response to the above note, we
will say that we have not yet received
the long promised report on Cuca-
mongo land and water, and cannot to-
day give as full and explicit iniorma-
ton as we had hoped and desired. The
following facts and suggestions may
be useful to our correspondent and his
friends: The quality of some of the
soil of the Cucamongo grant is cor
rectly described in the pamphlet pub
lished by the company some time ago.
What proportion of the soil is as de-
scribed the pamphlet does not say nor
do we know. 1t is q good rule not to
purchase land until you have seen and
carefully examined every acre Of it,
Those who intend to purchase Cuca-
mongo property should rigidly
apply this rule. A certain proportion
of the land is loose gravelly forma-
ton, good for fruit trees, but will
require an immense amount Of water.
Now Of the main thing-water-with-
out an abundance of which Cucamongo
land, like great deal of other land, is
worth less than nothing. The old
Cucamongo vineyard is the heart of
the homestead, but is not part of it
and is not to be sold with it, though
we are informed it is owned by the
same parties whe are placing the land
in market. A considerable water rises
on the vineyard, and it is supposed to
be the water which sinks at the mouth
of the cafion. The company il now
taking the water from the canon and
conveying it in pipes down to the
homestead lands. Here is the danger
which purchasers of the homestead
should guard against: Suppose it is
found, as it most certainly will be,
that taking the water from the cafior
in pipes exhausts the supply at some
season Of the year on the vineyard
what guarantee have the pur-
chasers of the homestead that the
owners of the vineyard ranch will not

Testimony cfCeIoneI MORROW.

New ORLEANS, January 2Sth.-Be-
fore the Congressional Committee, to-
day, Col. Henry A. Morrow testified
that he found hostility to the General
Government in the State of Louisi-
ana. The people do not regard the
negro as entitled to the position he
holds. 1t is objected that he was
given rights to which his education
did not entitle him. He believed that
the people would submit quietly to a
fair election, without the presence of
U. s. troops. and abide by the result.
He was Grant man in politics, and
friend Of the President.

DEAR SIR: From general knowledge of the
prominent ingredients of your Compound Syrup
of Hypophosphes, l formed such a favorable
opinion as to be induced to recommend it to my
patients as preferable, and more convenient than
my own prescriptions ofthe Hypophosphites. For
several years have continued to prescribe it, in
many cases with very beneficial results. Since,
upon solicitation, you kindly afforded me a more
intimate knowledge of the composition of your
Compound Syrup Of Ilypophosphites, have used
it freely in my practice, both in diseases of the
Chest. as Consumption and Bronchitis, etc., and in
iufantile diseases of the prima ria, or Stomach
and Bowels, with eminent success, considering it
superior to any similar preparation yet offered to
the public. Thanking you for your kind infor-
nation, l remain, yours truly,

A New York Times reporter publishes
an account OF an interview with John Y.
Foster, the reputed author OF the Foster
Blaine letter, which differs from the re-
port published in the Tribune. In this
Mr.. Foster acknowledges that he wrote a
letter substantially like that published in
the Maine Standard. There were some
omissions but none of Importance. The
secret order alluded to in the letter was
the United American Mechanics, an order
which he represents as having favored an
amendment to the constitution of New
Jersey forbidding the granting of money
by the State for sectarian purposes. He
does not know that President Grant is a
member of the order. but had information
which led him TO think so. While
cogitating upon this matter he hurriedly
wrote the letter in question to Mr.. Blaine,
early in November. To this he re-
ceived no reply, and heard no more
about the letter until its publication
III tAS hStaudaius w HtH ~ dppcaTtu III
the Standard he saw at once that Mr..
Blaine had never received the letter and
that it must have reached the Standard
Office in an irregular and dishonorable
way. Going to Washington to see Mr..
Blaine about the matter, he found him
without any knowledge of the mode in
which the letter came into the hands of
the editor of the Standard, and ignorant
that any secret anti-sectarian society cx-
lists in the United States. Our readers
can take their choice of this report or that
previously published in the Tribune. The
next thing in order will be to hear from the
Standard folks their account of the means
by which they came into possession of the
letter. That is the only interest that is
connected with the letter at present 1t
is the Standard editor who is now on trial.
Let us hear from him in his own defence.

They say Lamar will present. if he has
not already, a resolution declaring in en-
phatic terms that the Confederate war debt
shall never be assumed by the United
States, and that no claim for slaves freed
during the war shall ever be paid by the
government. This would seem to be non
sense, if, as the democrats say, these mat
ters are already fixed in the constitution
beyond the possibility of change.
