A Wonderful Country.

Where is there another country like
California Where another country
of such varied resources and wonder
full productions The wheat, wool,
honey and many other products are so
enormous in proportion to the num-
ber of persons engaged in producing
them as to astonish the world. The
wheat product of 1872 was 25,0O0,0O0
bushels, and the gold and silver yield
is given at $50, 0,00O,0 900. The gold and
silver export for sixteen years is $780,
100000. The wheat and flour export
for seventeen years is $4,000, 900 GEN.
tails. The lumber receipts for 1872
were 237 100000 feet, and the wool clip
for the same year, $1,000, 700 pounds.
Almost every mineral of value in the
world is found within the borders of
our State. Every variety of fruit and
plant under the sun will grow and
flourish here. Live stock is reared by
the million. California excels all
other countries. Her trees are the
largest, her mountains the highest,
her women the prettiest and her men
the most energetic. Her cities and
towns are the most progressive. There
is not another twenty-five year old
city on the face of the globe like San
Francisco. Within quarter of a
century her population has increased
from few hundred to 700, 200, and she
has more rich men in proportion to
her population than any other city in
the world. In 1872 there were $685.
1873 acres of land under cultivation in
this State. There are many railroads,
and the number of miles of track is
increasing daily. In educational fa-
cilities, California is in advance of
States treble her age. In climate,
soil, seasons, mineral wealth and va
ried resources, California is without
equal.

The Old Cry.

The era of rlatitudes abont land
monopoly and land monopolists is
upon US, and we are overwhelmed
with arguments designed to illustrate
the perfidious conduct of man who
holds all the land he can buy and pay
for. Until it changed editors few
days ago, the San Francisco Post, a
paper owned chiefly by Senator
JONES, who is himself large land
holder, was especially fanatical on
this subject. 1t seems almost time to
realize that all this nonsense amounts
to nothing. One man has as much
right to all the land he can pay for as
another has to monopolize mines
yielding millions of dollars annually.

Mr.. DRYDEN, government agent OF
the Mission Indians Of Southern Cali
fornia, has just returned from visit
to the different tribes, and reports the
chiefs and leaders desirous of perma-
nently locating their people on land
which the government provides for
them. Probably the cheapest and
most satisfactory arrangement that
could be made would be for the gov
ernment to purchase tract of land
and divide it among the tribes or FAM
lies, requiring each to live on and cul-
tivate their own farm. We under
stand efforts are being made toward
this end.

In his message which the Herald
placed before its readers yesterday
morning, Mayor BEAUDRY calls the
attention of the Council to the neces-

that the editors of the Express are

ST. ALBANs, VT, Oct. 1.-The hearing in
the Vermont Central Railroad, before the
special Masters, was adjourned at four
o'clock this afternoon until October Goth.
After the evidence was all in and the case
closed, question arose as to the date of re-
assembling for argument. The receivers
counsel were anxious for 8 Il early date the
opposing counsel objected to the .iXihg Of an
early day ON the plea Of not being able to
prepare before November Governor Dill
inrham. chairman of the Masters, said that
if this was a jury trial, the argument would
bsgin at once. He was opposed to any de-
Law. After much opposition from the oppo-
sing counsel the Court set October goth for
the argument to commence. The opposition
have charged that the receivers sought to
delay and throw obstacles in the way of
thorough and speedy investigation, tut the
receivers now claim that the opposition are
seeking to delay. This weeks proceedings
have been very important, and the showing
by the receivers have strong tendency to
disproye all charges Of fraud an. irregular
;ty, and to show that the managers Of the
road have been the victims Of persecution. d!
