Room for Expansion.

The area Of the State of California
is reported by the Commissioner Of the
General Land office to be 12O,947, $40
acres, of which nearly 10000, 900 are
suitable for agricultural purposes.
The valleys embrace fully 100000
acres adapted to grain culture, and the
swamp and overfiowed lands cover3,-
000,0O acres. The latter when re-
claimed are capable of producing an
nually not less than 5000, 900 bushels
of wheat, an amount more than dou-
BILE the average product of the entire
State at the present time at an average
Of $50 per acre the valleys of the State
can yield annually the enormous
wealth of $500, 100000. The mineral
wealth of the country, great as it is,
sinks into insignificance when COM
pared with the agricultural interests.
The present population of the State is
perhaps 100000 so that there is SO acres
of valley land to each inhabitant, and
over 100 acres of tillable land to each
man, woman and child. But as there
are only half the population of the
State outside the cities and towns and
only one-fifth ofthese are tillers of the

The Issue Joined.

The annihilation of the third party
movement in California was the first
blow given to independent political
action, and the "third partiesn
throughout the country are melting
away like snow beneath the noon

be between the Republicans and DEM

There will be no middle course to pur-
sue. The Liberal Republican Party,
that party which under the guidance
Of few short sighted politicians foist-
ed HORACE GREELY upon the Con-
servative people of the country, has
been quietly laid away in the tomb.
Its bones rest at Chappiaqua alongside
those of the great journalist. There is
not nail left to hang the smallest
corner of an Independent party upon,
and after the two great parties have
declared their tenets there will not
be enough material left to make one
plank towards third party platform.
There is no man strong enough to
make an independent personal candi-
date, and no principle to be enunciat-
ed by the middle-men. They will
have to range themselves with one of
the great parties and the great major
ity will unhesitatingly give In their
allegiance to the Democracy.

The State Fair.

We do not suppose that any Fair,
State, District or county, was ever
conducted on purely disinterested
principles, or that the officers of these
associations are SO magnanimous as to
have no irons of their own In the fire.
We are sure the records of the Cali
fornia State Fair will not show that
institution to have been conducted on
the non-remunerative plan. Aside
from the numerous little side interests
it has been greatly warped and infiu-
enced by politics and locality. A few
years ago the State Fair was as much
a Republican organization as the Re-
publican State Central Committee.
Under the management of correspond
ing Secretary HoAG only Republican
journals were selected as advertising
mediums and at pc riod when party
feeling ran high Democratic members
of the Board were few and far between.
These errors have been in part correct
ed of late and tits to be hoped they
will soon be entirely eradicated. Lo-
cality has initiated against the sue
cess of the State Fair, Sacramento, is
not the most desirable place for the as
sembling of people and stock from all
parts of the State. Reasons in su pport
ofthis statement are so many and OBJ
vious that we need not recapitulate.
The whole State is under contribution
to Sacramento and the people of that
goodly city are not contented with the
usual charges for food and room rent.
When the Legislature meets, board is
advanced, room rent is doubled and
those who indulge, tell us that bit
whisky is sold for twenty-five cents a
drink. The same programme is fol-
lowed during the continuance of the
State Fair. Sharks, thieves and gam
blers are permitted to prey on the un-
wary without molestation and when

Councilman Huber's Card.

Our attention has been called to q
communication IN last evenings En-
press, to which is appended the name
Of our respected and respectable friend
Councilman HUBER, in which the
HERALD is charged with rejecting on
the honesty and integrity of our City
Council, In connection with the Los
Angeles and Independence railroad
depot matter. After reading the let
ter to which Councilman HUBER's s
name is appended, and which of course
he wrote, and rejecting = few mo-
ments, we reached the conclusion that
he has rushed into print little pre-
maturely. We never heard and We
never said that any one had bribed or
attempted to bribe Councilman HU-
BER, and until we do make some such
statement we would suggest to our re-
spected and respectable friend the ad-
visibility of leaving the shoe for those
who fancy it will fit them. 1t is true
that Councilman HUBER was one Of
the committee which selected San Pc
dro street as the site Of the depot, but
because he was one of this committee
is no evidence that certain parties OBJ
tained information from him which
induced them to purchase and bond
all the property they could in the vi
cinity Of the proposed depot site. AS
each member Of the Council seems to
think We mean him when we say
Councilman was offered a bribe, we
will say that it was Councilmen CAR
MONA and SOTELo whom We heard
were offered one thousand each to
vote for the ordinance locating the
depot on San Pedro street. Both gen.
tlemen refused the dishonorable prop
osition. We will give to any one de-
string them the names Of our infor-
mants. We want this matter investi-
gated. It Is due to the members Of
the Council, due to the railroad COM
pany and due to the city that tn ese
charges be sifted to the bottom.

That Depot lob.

The publicity given by the HERALD
to the reports that the location of the
Los Angeles and Independence rail-
road depot on San Pedro street was the
result of ring manipulation, has pro-
duced great deal of feeling among
the residents of this city. The admis-
sion by certain members of the Council
that they were offered one thousand
dollars each for their vote in favor of
the ordinance locating the depot at
the point named, issufficient evidence
to satisfy all that influences outside
Of a desire to subserve public interest,
were brought to bear on certain par
ties whose support was necessary to
carry out the scheme of those who pur-
chased and bonded the property on
San Pedro street before the public were
informed that the location of the de-
pot had been selected. Basing our
judgment on information received
from reliable sources, we are satisfied
that the railroad company will be JUS
titled in refusing to accept the location
selected for their depot. We under
stand that both Senator JONES and
his general manager Colonel JACK.
SON have given assurance that if evil
dence of trickery in the depot location
can be obtained, they will refuse to ac-
cept the property and leave the ring to
get rid Of the land they have purchased
and bonded as best they can. We
presume no difficulty will be en-
countered in securing all the evidence
necessary on the point. If it is posi- =
BILE to do so legal proceedings should
be commenced at once to prevent the
consumation of the rings purpose.
1t Is certainly the duty of all lovers of
right and justice to demand an inves-
tigation of the charges that attempts
have been made to bribe Councilmen.
If one half the reports concerning the
depot location are true the transaction
is a shameful affair and q disgrace to
the city. Colonel JACKSON is investi-
eating the railroad side of the matter;
and the people of Los Angeles should
show up the guilty parties If there be
any.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1875-09-23

the officers are appealed to for pro-
lection by the victims of the gamblers
the citizens say "oh let them alone,
they help the town. That the peo-
pie are becoming weary of State Fair
mismanagement and SacramentO's s
selfishness is manifest in the fact that
the receipts of the Fair of this year
are considerably less than of last year.
There is no just reason why State
Fair shou Id be held year after year in
the same place. We have in this
State dozens of localities equally well
adapted for the annual exhibition,
with Sacramento. Los Angeles owns
a finer Agricultural Park and race
track than that at Sacramento, Santa
Rosa, San Jose, Stockton and perhaps
q dozen other places in the State have
accommodations for holding a State
Fair equal If not superior to those of
Sacramento. At each session of the
Legislation large sums are voted from
the peoples money to the State Fair.
Nine-tenths of this money never gets
out of Sacramento. Let us divide the
honor and the profit. Los Angeles
will furnish a better track, better
buildings and bett er weather for the
State Fair than Sacramento and she
will promise further not to put up du-
ring the Fair, the price of board, rent
or whisky.

Methodist Conference Division.

At the Methodist Conference during
its late session in San Francisco the
report of the Conference Division
Committee was brought up and car
ried bya large majority. The new
Conference is to be named the South
ern California Conference and has the
following boundaries: Beginning at
the Northwest corner of San Louis
Obispo county runs along that line to
Tulare, thence East to the State line,
thence Southwest along the State line
to the Ocean-including also the is
lands. The report OF the Committee
and the representation of the speakers
were in glowing colors of the present
and prospective of the growing coun-
try embraced in the new division of
the church. Los Angeles being the
central point of Southern California
will doubtless be chosen as the place
Of Conference, and this will also lead
to the establishment of a Methodist
College in our midst.

The Races at Sacramento.
: SACRAMENTO, Sept. 22d.-The stock
parade at the track this morning was
the finest ever witnessed on this coast,
the procession reaching to within a
few yards Of the whole length of the
track. The weather is warm and very
pleasant, and In the races to-day the
conditions of the track and weather
taken into consideration, fast time is
expected. Gambling of every des-
cription infests the city. It's doors
stand wide open to every stranger, and
though oil last Friday night they were
temporarily closed by the police, are
now in full blast again. The atten-
dance at the Park both morning and
afternoon daily increases, some four
or five thousand being present this
morning to witness the parade. The
Directors stand Is tastefully decorated
by flags and banners in honor of the
distinguished guests, Gen. Phil. Sher-
idan, wife and party. AT the track In
the afternoon the largest crowd of the
meeting was present, not less than
ten thousand persons to witness the
selling of the race purse for $500, mile
heats, the excess to go to the second
horse, entered to sell for $4,000 to carry
seven pounds extra for $500, his enti-
tied weight. for $1,000, seven pounds off,
for $500 fourteen pounds off. The en-
tries were Kenyon and Holmes 8 h

ton; j. H. Miller's g Col. Cowles,
with only the following four starters.
Before the start for this heat Mr.. M.
d. Boruck presented to the audience
Gen. Phil. Sheridan, in the following
neat little speech: "Fellow Citizens:
The history of the man 1 now have
the pleasure to introduce, is comprised
in his name-Phil. Sheridan" Three
cheers were then proposed and res
ponded to in the heartiest manner, and
most gracefully acknowledged by our
little hero.
Immediately after the presentation
the horses were called for the first
heat. Cowles drew the pole with SO
pounds to sell for $500; Princeton Sec

San Francisco News.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. ga new
point of interest is about to be made
in the journalistic war which has been
going on here since the failure Of the
Bank of California. The Alta yester-
day morning printed an editorial
charging the proprietors ofthe Butte-
tin and Call with having pursued the
course they have followed during and
since the late panic, with the object
of affecting the stock market and Gre
ating a financial panic. AS a conse-
quence the Bulletin and Call proprie-
tors, through their attorney, John F.
Swift, are now preparing and in few
days they will file complaint for Ii
bel against the Alta. 1t is expected
that, owing to the Intimate connection
between the newspaper fight and the
financial complications, some very in
teresting development will be made.
Nothing new in the Bank of Cali
fornia affairs. The date of resumption
is still undecided. 1t is now stated
authoritivel that the San Francisco
Assaying and Refining works will be
transferred to Flood & O'Brien in q
few days. Arrangements for the sale
are completed and nothing remains
but to make the formal transfer.
The Call this morning contains the
following: The recent systematic and
unbridled attacks of the Att0 on the
proprietors of the Call and Bulletin
have resulted in proceeding being
taken to compel proof, if it be forth
coming, of the charges preferred. Jno.
F. Swift is engaged in the preparation
of the papers in libel suit, and in a
few days they will be filed in one Of
our courts.
There is more money in circulation
here than has been at any time during
the past four weeks; but there is still
a very conservative feeling among
bankers and private capitalists, and
borr ,wers are put off with as little as
they can get along with. The rates
for call loans are still one and one and
one-fourth per cent. The savings banks
are still holding back in reference to
new loans, and the range is nominally
at 89l2 per cent. per annum. With
restoration Of confidence, which is al
ready gradually returning, money will
again be plentiful. Coin drafts are be-
ing drawn on the Atlantic cities at la
| per cent. Currency drafts l5A@I5l
