the Department of Agriculture states that the
area in winter wheat appears to have been in
creased last fall about per cent A small
portion of this area, partially or wholly de-
stroycd by the severity of the wiuter. will be
replaced By other crops. The condition Of
the crop, as far as can be Judged by its ap-
pearance in April in the more northern ati-
tudes. before the ground is bare and free from
frost, is below an average, and far below the
status of last spriug. In the South, gener>
ally, the prospects are reported as quite fat
sering, and the crop secure against all prob
able contingencies, except rust. In the West
the general conditions of the wheat crop is
below the average.

the gang of prisoners employed in the

statement of Wilson they had already
been furnished number of revolvers
and one shotgun was to be furnished.
More We're to be given during Satur-
day and Sunday nights, and Monday

nished the money to buy the guns.
Cox was employed to bring the arms
into the enclosure by climbing over
the fence near the brickyard and dis
posing of them where the prisoners
would, by previous arrangement, know
where to find them. Cox has hereto

its delegation to go for him as a unit,
and we hear of other counties which
will follow the example of Nevada.
All things considered, we are inclined
to the opinion that Mr.. FTNDLEY's
chances for being selected as the
standard-bearer of the Democracy
during the campaign now opening are
more favorable than those of any
other candidate. Assuming this to
be the case, something in reference to
the man, his qualifications and fitness
for the position to which it appears
nomination will almost guarantee
election, will be read with more than
ordinary interest by the people. Mr..
FINDLEY has resided in this State
from boyhood. He has always been
an earnest and progressive Democrat.
Soon after the attainment of his ma
iority he was elected State Treasurer,
which office he filled for two terms in
a manner that left no reason for doubt
as to his unwavering fidelity to the
interests of the people and his tact and
ability as financier. A more popu-
lar State Treasurer and one possessing
more fully the confidence of the entire
commonwealth, the State has never
had. He is practical man, with
more practical sense than ability to
make spread-eagle speeches. He is
not radical on any subject, and while
he is opposed to subsidy he yet recog-
nizes the utility of railroads and re-
CARDS them as one of the greatest
means for the development of the vast
agricultural, mineral and commercial
interests of our State. He is convers-
ant with the wants and resources not
of San Francisco, but of all California,
and should he be elected Governor he
will be in fact as he is in law, the Gov
ernor not of city or section, but of
the whole State. We assume the spe-
cial advocacy of no candidate. There
are probably other aspirants whose
merits recommend them to the con-
sideration of the people, and we have
no desire to disparage the claims of
such, but as Mr.. FINDLEY appears to
be the choice of the majority we have
thought proper to place the above facts
relative to the man both as public
officer and private citizen, before the
HERALD's readers The people should
know all that is to be known concern
ing those who would become their
servants.

FREEMAN of Yolo--he of freights
and fares bill notoriety-has descend
ed the Office scale with the velocity of
a kitten with brick tied to its neck.
A few weeks ago he would have moth
ing less than Governor. Then we
heard of him for Congressman, but he
was on the down grade and could not
reach the brake until he struck AS
semblyman. However, we know
where he is now. He is candidate
for the Assembly. That old freights
and fares bill will once more flutter in
the capital breeze If the people of Yolo
county have not CLEANED wisdom from
the experience of two years ago. An
other conundrum maker who has GU
bernatorial aspirations will be there if
he is not silly enough to resign his
Senatorship. We mean IRWIN of Sis
kiyou. What pity it is that the law
does not compel man to resign one
office when he becomes candidate
for another.

The Independent Leader.

Senator BOOTH made a speech in
San Francisco about week ago, and
with that speech went the hopes Of
the Republican leaders for a coalition
between the Republican and Indepen-
dent parties of this State. The great
leader not only refused to eat chow
chow from the same dish with Cor
HAM, but he threatened to kick the
whole concern to smithereens if it was
set before him. He made a target of
the Republican State Central Com
mittee's address, and shot it so full of
holes that he enabled the honest Re-
publican voters to see the Federal
Office-holders making mouths at them
from the opposite side. He intimated
that he had travelled over the country
somewhat, but had met no one who
did not recognize that the war was
over and the rebellion crushed, except
those Republicans who held or ex-
pected to hold office. The Senator was
in good talking trim. He had studied
his speech ever since he went to Wash
ington, and we all know that with
plenty of time and a good library at
his disposal, BOOTH can make a good
speech. He fired an occasional shot
into the Democratic ranks, but his
heavy batteries were turned against
his old enemies, the Republicans. The
house that the Chronicle built was
razed to the ground, and grape and
canister melted the head of the Re-
publican column until the tail ran
away with the whole dog. He mapped
out the campaign and arranged the
fight. We are to have a Midshipman
EASY duel-a triangular affair in
which the Independents are to fire at
the Republicans, the Republicans at
the Independents, and the Democrats
at both. SWIFT and BoRUcK will fire
at each other, and BOOTH and Cor
HAM will exchange shots. The Record
Union and the Bulletin and Call will
be used for wadding. May they all
aim well, fire at the word, and every
man get his fellow.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1875-05-25

One of the finest improvements in
the city will be the rebuilding of the
Lafayette Hotel. The whole Of the
back of the house is already being
torn down, and the front will shortly
be built up. The stores will be just
half as large as they are now, and, as
the Important has very large stock
on hand, they will not have half room
enough for their goods and in order to
prevent them from being damaged by
dirt and dust, they have decided to
sell all their Spring goods at less than
cost, and others, such as cottOns, table
linen, etc., at exact cost. We advise
all to call at the Important and con-
vince themselves of the great bar
gains. Such bargains they can never
get again, and in order to prevent n
great rush, we advise all to call early
and take advantage of the building of
the Lafayette Hotel. a16
