IT is some consolation to know,
on the principle that misery loves
company, that "rustn wis univer-
sal all over the State THIS year. OF
course, its ravages have been far
greater in some sections than in
others. Los Angeles can well af-
ford to suffer, however, from a
scourge which has desclated some
OF the most reliable wheat regions
in California. Our farmers should
pick their fiints and try again.
Atove all, they should sow the
right kind of wheat. There has not
been single instance of rust In
this county where Odessa wheat
has been sown. The same remark
holds true of Egyptian and some
other varieties. Our farmers
should note this fact and SOW the
right kinds hereafter.

surveys.
WASHINGTON, July 3d.-Senator
Sargent and Representative Page
to-day obtained q promise from
Commissioner Williamson, of the
General Land Office, that not less
than $25, 900 or $4,000 shall be al.
lotted for surveying public lands
In California, out of the $500, 600 ap.
propriated by Congress for surveys
throughout the whole country dur
ing the fiscal year; and that, In ad
dition, he will use for surveying
tim Der lands in California one-hali
of the extra amount of $4,000
which was granted by Congress,
mainly through Sargent's efforts,
for the survey of timbered land ex-
clusively. The entire amount al
lotted fer surveys of all kinds In
California last year was only SIT,
900.
Sargent and Page made another
visit to the Postoffice Department
to-day on the subject of free postal
delivery for Oakland, and finally
procured the assurance of an order
authorizing the appointment of six
carriers and the Inauguration of
the service in Oakland on the first
day of October, the beginning Of
the next quarter.
Sargent will start for California
next Monday.
California Land Matters.
WASHINGTON, July "a report
on the Visalia desert land entries
has been prepared by one of Com
missioner Williamson's heads of
division for his consideration and
he expects to make his decision
concerning this long pending con.
t'oversy at an early date.
A prominent official of the Inte-
rior Department to-day expressed
the opinion that the Departments
efforts to procure tue return of
patents issued to the Central Pa.
cific Railroad Company for lands
situated within the limits of the
rejected Manuel Dias grant, will
never be successful. This opinion
is based upon the reason, among
others, that the Railroad Company
has probably long ago scld these
lands to third parties aud the title
of recent purchasers in good faith
cannot be disturbed.

FRIEpLANDER's Grain Circular

FRIEDLANDER's Grain Circular
estimates the wheat for export In
California this year at GOO, 900 tons.
The barley crop is the largest ever
harvested In the State, and is of
excellent quality. Low prices are
apt to rule; but. even granting this,
we should handle immense sums
from the sale of our products
abroad. and in the Eastern States.
In more ways than one California
was out of luck last year. The war
in Eastern Europe stimulated the
demand for, and increased the con-
sumption f,wheat, and just at this
critical tide in our affairs, when we
ought to have had it in abundance
to export we proved to have hardly
any. We heartily hope that our
farmers, after their long waiting,
may find an active European de-
mand for their cereals which will
sensibly swell their bank accounts.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 31.-The
count of the votes cast in the city

some of the majorities are as fol-
lows: Bonnet, Workingman, over

1886: Bonnet over Shafter, $685..
On the county ticket, Barbours,

Workingmen's ticket was gener.
ally voted straight, while Hager is
fair average on the Non=Partizan

the lowest. Putting these msjori-

SAN BUENA VENTURA, July a.
In the More murder case this after
noon two objections of counsel to
the Indictment were overruled,
whereupon all the prisoners, ex-
cept Jones, the State's evidence,
pleaded not guilty. Jones declined
to plead and the Court ordered the
usual plea entered. The defense
then asked for time to decide as to
q severance of the trials and were
given one hour, at the expiration
OF which time separate trials were
demanded for ull the prisoners.
The prosecution then elected to
take up the cases in the following
order: Sprague, Churchill, Mozart,
Curlee, Lord, Hunt and Jones. The
trial OF the former will commence
on Wednesday next.

Daily Los Angeles herald., 1878-07-04

The full returns of the election
in Los Angeles county show that
only forty-two per cent. of our
qualified voters took the trouble to
cast their ballots. This is consid.
erably less than one half of the
vote polled here at an election in
which the people take any interest.
Elections involving Constitutional
questions are always, from some
unaccountable cause, neglected by
the people. One would suppose
that there could not well be more
important issues than those bound
up in possibly radical changes of
our organic laws.

We let him drop to the ground, where
he crawled zigzaggedly about, IS if
he had lost something and didn't
know where to find it. Remember
ing how they secure these animals
in Western Texas, we got a small
vial and placed it in front OF him,
then took a small stick and directed
his course little, when he glided
serenely into his last resting place.
Taking him into the Office we pour
ed some turpentine on him and
fastened the cork in tight, when he
gave us an exhibition of what he
knew about swimming. After
struggling few minutes he went te
sleep again, as calmly as if nothing
had happened; but he don't wake
up any more. We concluded to
take his measure, which we did b.
