msnds to The re.establlshment Of
. District Court OF the United
States for the Southern District Of
California, and to the granting OF
. term or terms OF the Supreme
Court of California to this section,
with its forum at Los Angeles.
We are pleased to learn that the
Judges of the Supreme Court them
selves sympathizs with this de-
mand, and that they are anxious
to escape the Summer heats of Sac
ramspto by taking refuge in our
orange groves, and enjoying the
delights of our equable climate.
We heartily urge our representa-
tives in Sacramento to see to ii
that this last boon shall be granted
to US. Our reliance for the ulti.
mate creation of State of South
California is on the chapter OF po-
litical accidents. We think the
Democratic party is destined to re-
turn to power shortly, and, when
it does, finding itself in possession
of the Executive and both branches
of the National Legislature. it will
show much less sagacity than its
New England opponents if it
misses the opportunity of creating
new Democratic Commonwealths.
Texas and California will offer it
its opportunity. 1t is hardly
necessary for us to say that the few
offices thereby created have but
little part in the aspirations of
those who favor the creation of a
new State. Two new Pacific Coast
Senators, however, would be very
useful to this section, without re-
gard to the vulgar, office holding
qualification it might afford to
some of the luckier of our citizens.

LONDON, Jan. Sth.-The Murk
Lane Express says that sustained
by political apprehensions and
strengthened by the increased con-
sumptive demand, the present po-
sition of the wheat trade is strong
and in spite of strong and large ar
rivals of foreign wheat, prices have
been steadily maintained. Specu.
lstion is wanting but healthy
stimulus has been found in supply
ing the legitimate requirements of
millers, who have purchased with
out much reserve at rather higher
same, firm on the spot, owing to
limited supplies and rather easier
off the coast under the pressure Of
numerous arrivals of cargoes at
ports of call. The market has
raised little for Spring corn. But
N slight improvement both in value
and demand is noted for oats.
The crop returns for the year
1877 show, except hay, that all
crops have been much below the
average. The wheat crop has been
the most deficient of all, six out Of
400 returns representing it as over
the average and no less than 1863
describing it as below. According
to the tables it was even worse
crop than that of 1875, which was
the most efficient crop previously
had during fifteen years. Barley,
too, was the smallest grown within
the same psriod.

WE cordially second the senti-
ment OF "Vox," a correspondent Of
the Express, when he suggests that
that able journal should be sus-
tained by the people of Los Ange-
les. We believe that the Express
means well, and that it intends to
champion the best interests of Las
Angeles. But when "Vox" pro.
cseds to say that the Express is
the only independent thing in Los
Angeles he insults the great mass
Of our people, and he ignores the
fact that the HERALD is as perfect
u dependent as any paper ever
n.llished in this State. The En-
press believes the Texas Pacific
Railway guarantee has a chance OF
passage. We don't, and therefore
we hang no hopeI upon ii. We be-
lieve that, If it passes, Stanford &
Co. will build this end Of the road,
therefore we are not particularly
scxious that it should pass. AS we
never believed that the McFadden
Bros. could accomplish much, we
never said they could. Ore thing
we have believed in, and that is
that If our people were united we
could secure the passage of a fair
frsights and fares bill. We are rap
idly letting the acceptable time
pass away for making formidable
demonstration in favor Of this just
and legitimate demand of
the people, although, shortly
after the visi: of Ex-Governor
Brown, we got up notable dem
onstration in favor of the Texa.
Pacific guarantee of Tom Scott.
Why this difference, ye friends Of
the people? Some Of you will say
that you don't think there is a
probability of the passage Of such q
measure. Well, there is at least a
chance Of the passage of fares and
frsights bill, just as there is, not
withstanding our incredullty, a
chance Of the passage Of the Texas
Pacific guarantee. Why not, there
fore demonstrate and bloviate In
favor of this, as we did of the other?

special Message ON Chinese I'm
migration.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Sth.-Presi-
dent Hayes has definitely deter
mined to make the Chinese ques-
ton the subject of q special mes
sage to Congress. In this message
he will call attention to the pres
ent and prospective evils of unlim-
tied Chinese immigration to this
country and will recommend Con-
gress to take such action as in its
wisdom may be most proper and
effective to restrict and regulate
the immigration of Mongolians.
The President has not yet decided
whether he will suggest any par
ticular manner for the attainment
OF these objects, but that at present
it seems probable that he Will con-
fine himself to a forcible presenta-
ton OF the necessity for action and
leave for the two Houses of Con.
gress the task Of devising a proper
remedy. kIt is also quite probable
he will direct the Secretary
ofState to notify the Chinese Gov.
eminent through the usual diple-
matte channels that some action
on Its part to restrict the i'm igra.
ton Of its subjects to this country,
is likewise considerable but moth
ing positive in regard to making
such an invitation has yet been de.
termined. The President expects
to have the message ready for
transmission to Congress soon after
the re-assemdling Of Congress.

Dispatches from Washington of the

against Fred. Kaufman, the United

The Arlington estate is ut present the
resting place of the remains of upward
Of thirty-siX thousand union soldiers.
1t is not the intention of Gen. Lee to
disturb the cemetery part of the estate
if the suit should be decided in his
favor He is willing to sell that portion
Of the estate to the government at 4 fair
price to be determined by board of
arbitration. He claims the land
through the devise of Gen. Gusts TO the
