THE New York correspondent Of the
Chicago Times has ascertained why the
ueE'direct cable has not been opened for
business. He explains that the work
oflaying it was completed June ., and,
although a fault was known to exist,
it was worked for eleven days, during
which time considerable correspon-
dence touching the affairs Of the COM
pan7 was transmitted by its means.
Under a clause in the contract fol con-
struction of the lines, the
constructors are bound to deliver
the cable 10 the company in perfect
order and, it having been ascertained
that the fault was at a point about 300
miles from this side, they determined
to remedy it. They accordingly went to
that point to graplle for the cable, and
on June - succeeded IN getting 1t up.
As this is the only imperfection known
to exist. and the cable has already been
taken on board the steamer, 1t raay be
remedied at any moment.

THE FACT ABOUT THE NEED OF
MORE MONEY.

Boston journal (RePl.
Under the operations Of the law pass.
ed by Congress last winter, the supply
Of currency quite freely regulates itself,
according to the actual requirements of
business. What is the result? Why,
that the general circulation since Janu-
airy has fallen off nearly eight mil
ions-S7, 7S7, S45; and that only one
Western State, Ohio, has made any in
crease, and that by the comparatively
small figure of S63, $50! Vermont
alone, a little State, has during the
same time called for over 100000 in
crease.
In fact, of the entire increase Of the
circulation during this periOd-S4,-
81. ?O-nearly three-quarters, or So
1I7,420, have come TO the New En-
gland States. The only Southern
States which have increased their cir
culatiOn are Alabama and North Car
DINA, whose combined increase Is less
than half Of that of Maine. Illinois
fell off S2,S62, $40; Indiana over half a
million; Iowa, 100000; Wisconsin,
$40 800; Minnesota, S504, 300, and 80
on, including most Of the Southern
States in about the same ratio in pro-
portion to their amount of business.
Here, then, is the whole story about the
quantity of bank currency really needed
by the people at the present time.
Macon Telegraph and Messenger (Deml
From Jan. to June 80, 1875, the de-
crease IN National bank circulation in
Georgia was $4,000; in South Caro-
lima $4,000; in Virginia S20S,0OO, in
Tennessee SI25, goo; in Texas 5000, in
Kentucky SS5, 900; in Maryland $780,
600. in Louisiana $4,000. The West
ern States, which are generally clam
oring for more currency, show marked
decrease, Illinois alone showing a de-
crease of 81. 1862, 900. There was in the
whole country during that time a de-
crease of So, $685. 65. And yet the
chorus continues that there is not
enough money in the country.

THE German girls, who were recent
ly recovered from the Indians and sent
to Fort Leavenworth, are having their
little disappOintments. 1t seems that
charitably inclined people had contri-
buted quite sum Of money for the
education and benefit Of the girls, and
had chosen Agent Miles, of the Indian
Agency, as their guardian. When they
were sent to the fort, Miles sent with
them letter to Gen. Pope, introduc-
ing them as his wards, and informing
him that provision had been made to
send them to school at Lawrence. Pope
tore up the letter and said that he re-
cognized no authority in the matter
higher than his own. The Topeka
Blade says the suppOsition is that be
wishes to retain control over them for
a purpose witch it were well not to
mention to ears polite.

Mr.. CESAR c. ANTOINE, the colored
Lieutenant Governor of Louisiana, is a

course, himself,and Of the whole South,
would be content for Gen. Grant to
have six terms if he wanted them,
though he was afraid the North was
not inclined ''to look at the matter in

pear to be well grounded. As the case
stands at present, Wendell Phillips is
the only man in the North openly in
favor Of even a third term,

THE reports from the San Fernando
oil district which have reached this
city almost every day for the past week
are little too oily-there is too much
flow about them. Up to this time not
flowing well has been struck. There
seems to be no doubt but that the San
Fernando mountains contain vast de-
posfts' Of oil, and we have the very
best reasons for believing that when
the wells have been sunk to sufficient
depth, these deposits win be struck
and large flows of oil obtained. But
as yet the wells are not deep enough
and no flow has been secured. The
oil is so abundantin what is known
as the Temple well," that it is esti-
mated forty barrels per day might be
pumped from it. AS the wells go
down the quantity of oil increases, but
the stories received from the oil region
are all exaggerated and their repeti-
tion is calculated to injure, rather than
advance, the interests of the mines.
When flowing well is struck, the
people will not believe it until they
have seen it with their own eyes.

Fruit Tree Growing,

. aThe establishment of the Alden
fruit preserving process in this county
has given new impetus to the busi-
ness of fruit. tree planting. In the
vicinity of this city many thousand
trees will be set out this Spring and.
the business is extending all over the
valley. Many farmers who llave hith-
erto paid but little attention to tree
planting will this Spring set ont fine
young orchards The rapidity and
facility with which the Alden process
preserves fruit, and the great demand
for the products of the factory have
taught the people that fruit growing
is soon to become the most valuable as
well as the most certain crop that is
produced in this part of the State. Our
nursery men are crowded with orders
for young fruit trees of all kinds and
large quantities from the nurseries
about San Francisco are received by
almost every steamer. Mr.. THOMAS
A. CAREY, one of our most successful
tree growers, is receiving large, in
voices of peach, apple and plum trees
from above, and Mr. GEO. b. DAVIS,
the proprietor of the Alden factory
here, is now selecting a large assort-
ment of fruit trees from KELsEY's
nurseries, Oakland, which he will set
out OH his place on San Pedro street.
He will also go largely into the culti-
vation of shade and ornamental trees.
In a few years Los Angeles valley will
become one vast grove of fruit bearing
trees and our fruit will become our
staple product.

THE San Francisco Glu0nicte be-
lieves that only the ofdfossfffzed wing
of the. Bourbon Democracy oppose the
action ofthe Administration in estab-
fishing military rule in Louisiana.
We doubt the correctness of the Cjiyo,a-
icie's position. We. do not believe
that what it is pleased to term the
" fossilized Democracy comprises
the only portion of the people of the
United States that denounces useless
and uncalled-for violation Of the civil
law. In fact there are many thousand
Republicans-some Of them Senators
and Congressrlen-who denounce in
uunaeasured TERMS the aetsof usurpa-
tioR practised SO recently IN Louisiana.
Nearly every Republican, paper of
standing and influence in the nation
condemns the course of SHERIDAN, as
well as the policy of the administra-

editors of these papers will deny the

A Quarrel Among Friends.


There is danger Of the dissolution of
an alliance formed for offenslve and
defensive warfare against the HER
AID. The Star and Express are quar-
relling. The Express accuses the Star
of manufacturing bogus dispatch,
and the Star retorts as follows:
We havn't gone our last cent on the Express
since the HERALD showeditupfora attemptins &
to put up a lob against The Star Tor the public
printing and "divy." But here's where tfs>s
laugh comes in; We we,e ss.Xith the e! Express
This,is not a very creditable confess
sion, but when certain kind of peo-
pie fall out, honest people come by
their own. In anotherarticle the Star
talks about eleemosynary, scrib-
blers," 'srudeness,'f Glow breeding"
and other peculiarities, which, though
evidently aimed at the once ally but
now enemy of itself, read like chap
ter from the autobiography of the Star
editor. We regret these exhibitions
of i'll feeling on the part of our cotem-
poraries. The reply of the Express
will perhaps contain some allusion to
! the publication Of another bogus dis
patch, about the passage of the Texas
Pacific Railroad bill, to which was
forged the name of j. w. FoRNEY ,and
of lone man standing on wharf,
waiting for steamer to take him
from town which he was glad to
leave, and in which every resident
was glad to have him lcave. There
may be some allusion to selling out at
Che last county election, but as this
subject lisa sort oftwo-etlged sword, it
will probably be left untouched. We
trust our good friends will make up
this little difference, They cannot af-
ford to tell what they know of eac h
other, and, besides II they so on in this
way they will damage their ever sell
boasting reputation of always being
icourteous to the editorial brother
hood.p Better renew your vows and

More About vasquez.

The San Jose and San Francisco
papers state that the ladies musteret
in strong force Mt the trial of Vasquez
and that much female sympathy wa
| wasted on the "wild beast.' The San
Francisco Call gives the following in
formation concerning the closing seen,
of the bandits trial: pre- ua ai
In his charge to the jury, Judge
Belden announced that If the defend
ant had been actively engaged in
planning the robbery, and had assist
ed therein after the homicide, he was
guilty of murder in the first degree
whether or not he was personally
present at the time the murders were
committed. The jury were then con-
syeyed to the jury-room to- deliberate,
and the Court adjourned until Z r. M.
At half-past 6 o'clock the Courtroom
was filled to overfowing with surg
ing mass of curious humanity. The
galleries were crowded with ladies,
more being i'm attendance than on any
other day of the trial. Seven O'Clock
arrived and passed, reporters yawned,
and all others wore an air of solemn
wistfulness. AT five minutes before S
Sheriff Adams announced that the
jury had agreed on verdict. The
Court then gave notice that anyone
who should express appreciation in any
manner should be arrested. All wore
a look Of anxiety, as Vasquez was
brought into Court and placed in the
prisoners dock. AT seven minutes
past 8 10 clock the jury was ushered in,
in charge of Under Sheriff Selman.
The Clerk then called the roll, and
George w. Reynolds, as foreman, pre-
sented the following verdict:
"We, the jury empanelled to try
this case, find the defendant guilty of
murder in the first degree, and assign
the. death penalty
Each juror then stood up and sep
arately answered that such was his
verdict. During the reading Vasquez
sat apparently .unmoved, gazing into
vacancy.
Judge Collins, for the defense, then
arose and stated desire to enter an
exception to the form of the verdict,
and asked that sentence, be deferred
for two weeks, to allow counsel to pre-
pare and present bill of exceptions.
The Court then madean order fixing
the ime for passing sentence at two
weeks from to-day, January 23d. The
Court then thanked the jury for their
attention, and attendance, and they
were discharged. The prisoner was
then remanded.
= The verdict has given entire sGtisfac-
tion, and it is now believed that had
1t been otherwise an attempt would
have been made to take the prisoner
from the officers. The matter of an
extension of time is considered merely
nominal; few who have heard the
rulings imagine there can be any
further changeo Judge Belden is not
the man to be caught mapping. Thus
ehds the trial Of one of the most i'm
portant criminal cases in the records
Of our State. 1f-frl

Probable Misrepresentation.


The dispatches of the Associated
Press appear to be worded with view
to creating the impression on the pub
lie mind that COTTON, HUNTINGTON
and others connected with the Central
Pacific Railroad Company are now in
Washington for the purpose of pre-
venting the granting of subsidy or
other national assistance to the Texas
Pacific or any other Southern overland
road. We are told by these dispatches
that the gentlemen named are watch.
ing Tom SCOTT and will thwart his
plans for securing such assistance as
will warrant the early construction Of
q Southern transcontinental railroad
There are reasons why these reports
should be taken cum gran0 sails. First,
the Associated Press is an enemy of
the Central Pacific Railroad Company.
The cause for this belligerent attitude
may be explained in few words. The
railroad company have established a
transcontinental telegraph line which
has effectually destroyed the news
monopoly held on this coast, and
thereby saved the people many hum
dred thousand dollars. The dispatches
are compiled by J. w. SIMoNToN, who
is part owner of the Bulletin and Call
two of the three journals comprising
the Pacific Coast Associated Press mo-
nopoly. This explains why the Asso-
ciated Press are the enemies
of the Central Pacific Railroad
Company. Now let us adduce
the reasons which go to prove that
the kilograms asserting that the man-
ayers of the Central Pacificand South
ern Pacific roads are in Washington,
with the avowed object of preventing
the granting Of subsidy to the Texas
Pacific road, are false and are pre-
pared for the sole purpose Of ifjuring
the Central Pacific Railroad Company.
When the gap of about one hundred
miles, between San Fernando and
Bakersfield, lis closed, the Southern Pa
cific will have over five hundred miles
of track completed, which must form
part of the great Southern transcon-
tinental railroad. They are pushing
their road eastward, and before the
close of the present Summer the
whistle of the Southern Pacific loco
motive will be heard in San Gorgonio
Pass. If ScoTT does not push his road
westward the five hundred miles of
Southern Pacific road will not be
worth one-fourth what it will be if he
does build westward. If SooTT: OBJ
tains the aid which win enable him to
build his road westward the south
ern Pacific will hasten theirs east
ward and we shall soon have another
meeting Of the locomotives in the
middle of the continent Each com
pany will own and operate the road
they have built The. common sense
view of the situation is that the
Western Pacific Company should aid
SCOTT In pushing out his road rather
than oppose his efforts in that direc-
ton. They have already built part
of the road and will no doubt own the
Pacific half of the whole route. ~

AsterIimg Democrat ON Louisiana Az
INDIANAPOLIS, January 1lth.-Jn
his message to the Indiana Legisla-
ture, Gov. Hendricks thus refers to
Louisiana affairs: " Republican gov
ernment has been broken down in the
State of Louisiana by military vio-
lence. 1t is fundamental right, and
necessary to free institutions, that
legislative body shall be the judges of
the qualification of the election and
returns of its own members. No
power, not even the judicial, can in
terfere withit or question it. 1t is the
prerogative of the State, because
without it no free State can exist.
Without any pretext of domestic vio-
lence that right has been taken away
from the popular branch OF the LeSls-
lature of Louisiana, and members rec
ognized by that body have been
driven from the hall by armed soldiers
under the command of United States
military officers. The cause of
the House of Representatives of
Louisiana is your cause and will be
the cause of the people you represent,

pendent legislation shall be cherished

lege of the people to make their own
State laws by their chosen representa-
tives rest upon the right or only upon
permission? The feelings of the peo-
Pile should be so expressed as to restore
this right. 1 ask you to protest against
