A PRIVATE letter from citizen OF So
lano county, California, to friend in
Illinois, contains the following:
+ "You ask me about the propriety OF
Iaboring men moving to California.
As commonplace remark, ! will say
that it is a great big country, lots OF
territory-the choice pieces of which
are in the hands of farmers or specu-
Iators. AS a result, farming does not
pay at the present time. 1t is almost
wholly cereal country, and the rals-
ing of wheat does not pay. Millions
of bushels are on hand now, for which
there is no market. We grow plenty
of fruit, but that is perishable and
can't be exported. Iaborers' wages
here on farms range from $50 to $40
per month. with board; but man
must be a skilled teamster or plow'
man to command $40. They pillow
here with gangs-three or four plows
fastened together, using six or eight
horses in the team. One who can
manage one of these teams can com
mand $50 and $40 per month. Com
mon hands, owing to the Chinese, who
are very apt at all light work where
no animals are to be handled, can on.
Iy realize $40 or $25 per month to
come to California. We are situated
thus: The Greeks, Italians, Portu'
guese and Chinese do our fishing; the
Portuguese and Chinese our garden
ing; Irish girls and Chinese our house
work and washing; the Mexicans our
shepherding; the Jews our storekeep
ing; the Changers our big farming,
and the Americans do our railroading,
boating, specializing, banking, etc.
and together with the Irish talk poll
tics and hold the Offices"

"MoRMoN!"-The reason the radicals
howl Mormon" at S. S. Fem, demo
cratic nominee for Delegate to Con-
gress, is very plain. The Mormons
living in Oneida and Bear Lake coun-
ties. in this Territory, are voters; and
a large majority of them show their
intelligence by declaring for Fem and
their intention of voting for him at
the coming election. Their preference
in the choice for Delegate very natu.
rally makes Mr.. Fem a Mormon,
viewed from radical standpoint. Had
the Mormons living out there voted for
Bennett, land that trickster tried hard
enough to get them) two years since,
or should they go against the democ.
racy this fall, Fem wouldn't be a
Mormon nor would the Mormons be
such an ulcer on the body polite.

ference, you know.

One of the plainest duties Of the
citizen, at this moment, is to know
definately, so far as may be the
grounds of trouble in the disputed
States. He is liable to read many
things which his own good sense
disproves, but this only makes it the
more necessary to take firm hold of
any fact witch may be shown to
have direct official foundation. One
of these u~ndispated realities, in the
South Carolina case is supposed to
do a little arithmetic in adding up
the returns, assumed the right to re-
ject the vote of two strongly Demo-
caatic counties, on the ground of
fraud and intimidation of voters. In
these counties-Edgeield and Lar
rens-wcre posted the strongest bod
les of United States troops, expressly
to secure q free and fair election. 1t
was admitted by leading Republican
Journals, before election day, that
while the necessity of SO posting,
troops in time of peace a lamenta-
BILE, it. at all events, afforded 3 con
soling certainty that no question OF
the freedom of voting, in those par.
~ticular sections, could be thrust upon
the country. Some went 80 far as tc
claim this protection against annoy
ing disputes as n justification fol
sending the Federal forces into those
sections. Now that the election is
over we see those very counties
made the basis for upsetting the re
suit as affects the State of South
Carolina, and possibly the whole
nation. And at the same time that
the Electoral vote and the vote fol-
State Representatives, in these eoan-
ties, is rejected, the vote for Stat
Senators, cast on the same day al
lowed to stand, and the Senators
have taken their places!
1t is surprising that the Republi
can leaders in South Carolina, a
well rs at Washington, fail to see, OIL
feel able to defy, the inevitable result
from these premises. 1t is, simply
that under the present administra
ton, eleven years after the close o
the war, the whole power of tn,
United States is unequal to securing
a fair vote, in two counties, with al
possible notice and preparation

Gen. SHERIDAN said j. MADISON
WELLS was dishonest, and had not a
friend who was an honest man. He
filed q claim before the Southern
Claims Commission, for $450,000
damages to lands and crops during
the war, and his neighbors who knew
all about him filed a protest in which
they said:
she has not owned an acre of land
in fifty years, nor q single slave, and
when his creditors have asked fol
payment he never claiped to be the
owner of his crops. He expects to
buy the support of his claims by re.
cent services as one of the Returning
Board"
The Commission is composed OF
Republicans and refused to allow
him a cent, but he is now considered
good enough to count Hayes in for
President, and Gen. Sheridan along

ty will accept the result.

There are some facts connected with
