Since Mr.. TWINS arrival from
the Black Hills several ofour citizens
have received private information
from parties in the hills; in all in
stances the news given by the
LEADER have been corroboruted.
Messrs. ]. w. Allen, Florman aud
Ferguson, writing to Messrs. Haas
and Coleman in this city, pronounce
the new diggings all that was claimed
for them. The men on Spring Creek
take out ten dollars a day In six
hours work, and wherever the mi
ners can do any work with the water
now Mt command, they are making
good wages. OF course, as soon as
Spring opens and fills up the creeks,
the labors Of these hardy pioneers
will be more bountifully rewarded.
We learn that the effects of the
late Mr.. Hollenbeck, who died in the
Black Hills recently, have been for
warded to Cheyenne, and are now in
the hands of Mr.. ]. ii. Bishop. A
pair of horses, belonging to the same
estate, have been left at the Chug to
be ranched. We suppose Judge
Tracy, will take charge of all property
left by Mr.. Hollenbeck, for the ben
eft of his minor children. The mi
ners Of the district, where Hollen-
beck's claim is located, have gener-
ousIy offered to take ARE of it, until
his representatives can be heard from.

lines at one dollar per thousand.
Now of oranges A fifteen year old
tree will yield from twelve hundred
to two thousand oranges each season.
Suppose the average yield Is but five
hundred per tree; at the present
wholesale price of three dollars per
hundred, five hundred oranges are
worth fifteen dollars, and an acre of
eighty trees will give n return of
twelve hundred dollars per year. 1t
is true that one must plant five year
old trees and then wait ten years for
this return, but it is enormous when
it does come. Oranges of good quality
and fair size now retail on the streets
at five cents apiece. If they could be
had for one dollar per hundred, the
consumption would be ten times
greater than at present, and the owner
of fifteen year old grove would real
ize four hundred dollars per acre from
his trees. We predict that the day
will come when oranges will sell at
from fifty cents to one dollar per hun
dred, and when that time comes our
net receipts for this fruit will be three
times greater than at, present.

Sound Sentiment.

On Monday of last week Gen. John
r. Mcconnell introduced the following
resolution in the Assembly:
WHEREAS, 1t is the right and duty
of the representatives of the people of
a State in this Union to keep con-
stant and vigilant watch upon the
proceedings of the Federal Govern
ment to see that it does not transcend
the sphere of its legitimate powers, to
reprehend its usurpations and endeav-
or to remedy its eXcesses. Therefore
by the General Assembly of the State
of California, with the concurrence of
the Senate, be it
Resotred, |. That, as admit ted by
Statesmen and jurists, of all parties
and political creeds, the Government
of the United States is one of granted
and strictly limited powers, the mea-
sure of those powers being the limit
ed letter of the Constitution, beyond
which the Government cannot lawful
ly pass, except to carry, by means
necessary to the end, the granted pow
ers into execution.
LOUISIANA LEGISLATION.
Second-Th9t among the primary
maxims Of free government, none is
more sacred than that every Iegisla-
tive body has the exclusive right to
judge of the election and qualifica-
tions of its own members. That this
is especially the right of the legisla-
tors of the States of the Union. That
this maxim has never until recently
been violated, unless by despots claim
ing to rule by right divine. That the
invasion of the Halls of the Louisiana
Legislature, by an armed force, under
the direction of an officer of the Uni
ted States army, and the forcible ejec-
tion therefrom of several members OF
that body is O high handed and law
less outrage. That while we have nc
terms of apprehension strong enough
to characterize the crime of that of.
ficer, we deem those still more guilty
who sent him to Louisiana on a vague
mission, and expressly sanctioned his
| worst acts.

Oranges and Lines.

A discussion is going on in the COL
umns Of the HERALD on the value of
lines, and whether it will pay to grow
them. We give place to these articles
because they are written by practical
men, and because We think the time
is at hand when the fruit growers of
Los Angeles valley should realize that
the high prices heretofore received for
their products cannot be great while
longer commanded. We must not re-
ly on the San Francisco market for
the sale of our lines. The demand
does not now equal the supply, and a
few years hence more of this fruit will
be grown in a half dozen Los Angeles
valley groves than will supply the en-
tire California market during the fruit
season. What should and ultimately
must be done, is the conversion of the
lines into lime juice. When this in
dustry is established we shall have a
market for al the lines the groves
now planted or that may hereafter be
planted, will produce. And when this
is done, those who use lime juice will
not be compelled to pay three dollars
per hundred for imported lines dur
ing that portion of the year that our
native lines are out of the market.
A ten year old tree will bear four
thousand lines each season. Now
suppose these lines are sold at two
dollars and half per thousand, a fig
ure long ways below the present
market rate, we have an income of
ten dollars per tree. Eighty trees may
be planted on an acre of ground.
This gives return of $500 per acre for
lines at quarter of cent apiece.
Money may be made from growing

John Chinaman.

The New York Herald is discussing
the Chinese problem from an Eastern
standpoint, and the result of its in
vestigations is rather favorable than
otherwise to the Chinaman as a cheap
labor chattel. In this State, and in
fact throughout the Pacific coast, the
opinion of the white labOring masses
is not of a nature to induce Chinese
immigration. And so it will be when
the Mongolians spread, as they now
seem inclined, over the Eastern side
of the continent. Our people do not
believe that Chinese labor coming in
competition with that of the white
masses will aid in the development
and advance the prosperity of coun-
try. 1t seems to us that the question
has two sides. In the prosecution Of
a great work where many thousand
toilers are required, and the success of
the undertaking depends on obtain
ing vast amount of labor for COM
paratively small amount of money, the
Chinaman becomes an object of inter-
est, and his services are both desira-
BILE and essential. His habits are not
what we would call civilized. Fifty
Cinnamon will live comfortably in
the space required by a white laborer
and his family. AS class they come
here without families, and from the
earning of each only himselfi is support
ed. Their clothing costs less than
half that of the white laborer, and the
common class subsist on food that the
farmers pigs would only eat when
very hungry. Hence the Chinaman
can work for wages that would not
purchase the meat for white mans
family and still make money. The
Chinaman built the Central Pacific
Railroad, and but for him, the Compa-
ny would not have been able to prose-
cute the work as cheaply and rapidly as
they did. This is the side of the ques-
ton that places Chinese labor in fa-
vorable light. But the other and by
far the most important side presents
nothing encouraging. On the farm,
in the workshop, and in dozens of
other occupations in which we find
the Chinaman, he is doing no good for
the community or the country. His
presence prevents the coming of those
of our own color, habits and religion.
Laboring men and women of the East
and of Europe hesitate about seeking
homes in country when they know
that labor must come in competition
with class who neither build homes,
wear good clothes nor eat such food as
is consumed by Christian people.
If the truth could be got at we should
find that our white population is
many thousands short OH account of
the presence of the Chinese. Then
our boys and girls are kept out of en-
ployment by the Chinese. Labor that
should be performed by the rising gen.
Grafton is done by the Chinese, and
for want of employment these boys
and girls become male and female
hoodlums. AS a whole the country
is not benefited by the Chlnaman,
and would be better off without him.

AN article in yesterday mornings
HERALD on the contest relative to the
San Fernando oil claims, was written
under misapprehension of the facts.
The oil mines did not enter into the
contest. The defendants in the case
were parties in the employ of the rail
road company, and the dispute was as
to the ownership of the timber on
land held as oil claims. The ruling of
high courts is that railroad compa-
ny has the right to use so muchof the
timber on public land as may be nec-
essary for the prosecution Of the work.
The railroad company cut timber
from land which parties claimed as
oil land for use in the San Fernando
tunnel. The right to do this was dis
puted by the oil land claimants and
hence the litigation. There was also
some dispute as to boundaries, but the
result did not hinge so much on metes
and bounds as upon vested rights.
Both parties were heard by Commits
sioner WHITING, who, yesterday af-
ternoon decided that the railroad COM
pany had right to cut so much of the
timber as is needed in the tunnel and
for other work on the road. Thus the
matter ends and the oil prospectors
will continue their operations as if
nothing had happened.

GENERAL McCoNNELL's resolutions

GENERAL MCCONNELL's resolutions
which we publish in another column
are drawing the fire of Republican
journals throughout the State. The
new fledged Republican organ of this
city pronounces the resolutions Quix-
Otic, and thinks the zeal with which
the Administration is prosecuting the
viii sky frauds ought to be accepted as
q sort of atonement for the sins and
follies lof the Republican party. We
shall be obliged to the Euening Re-
publican if it will point us the evil
dence of two things: First, that there
is anything in General MCCONNELL S
resolutions to which an unsectional
man can object? And second, that
the Administration is really and in
earnest prosecuting the whisky ring?
