Immense Cattle Ranches In Fertile
Valleys.
A correspondent of the Colusa Cali
Sun gives the following description of
the: Stein mountain country and the
immense cattle ranches in that vicinity:
"We have come, unexpectedly, upon
DR.. Glenn's Oregon ranch, about which
so much was said during the recent
campaign. It's
A STOCK RANCH,
And covers an area Of seventy five miles
long by twenty miles wide. If it were
not, DIR. Glenn, you knew, would have
nothing to do with it. The Doctor has
never seen it, however, and probably
never will He has partner, Peter
French, who stays at the ranch and
runs the business. Mr. French was not
at home, being absent in Portland on
some Government business, but we
were taken in charge by his majordamo,
or overseer, and kindly and Hospitality
entertained. There are two ranches on
the range, the p. ranch here in this
valley, aud the Diamond ranch-so
called from the brands usea-some
twenty-five miles further on, in the
valley of keiger Creek. These streams
and valleys are so similar that de-
scription of one is as description of
both. The streams rise on the west
side of Stein mountain and flows in
northwesterly course, and sinking or
spreading into broad marshes 60 to con-
tribute to the waters of lakes Malheur
and Harvey.
THEiyALLEYS
Are thirty or forty miles long and from
six to twelve miles in width. The
soil is wonderfully fertile; the climate
is not excessive, and, fine grain and
vegetables are produeedain abundance
every year, and of the best quality.
The gently sloping hills are covered
with bunch grass, and the wild grass of
the valley will producesa ton and half
of hay to-the acre. Here are rich and
beautiful. homes for 500 families, with
ample stock range foa all. Glenn and.
French hold this vast body of ) land bya
the. right of undistggbed possession. :
We were told by his bookkeeper that
no part of the imraense track of land
over which their $4,000 head Of cattle
roam has ever passed amy kind of title.
1t is trne it would be little unsafe for
settler'to go into this country and
attempt to make a homestead, forsaA
such are treated as interlopers, and

One man went and filed hemeste ad
on the stock ranch of4'one Wallace, in
Warnersvalley, and before heshad time
to put up his>cabin Wallace took down
his Winchester rifle and shot him dead,
and the stock men in the vicinity will
teal you that wallace is perfect gen.
tleman.' Nothing was ever done in the
matter. All these large tracts of land
are held by buster and braggadocio,
and it strikes me as being piece of
unparalleled impudence for one or two
men to spread themselves over two or
three hundred square miles of Gods
free heritage and attempt by threats
and blows to keep out the thousands OF
honest and industrious men who are
seeking for homes and employment.

In consequence Of the ill-timcd and in
tcnscly selfish course of the Republicans
in attacking Jefferson Davis during the
Senate debate OIL pensions for the Mexi-
can soldiers, the veterans Of that war
will have to go unpaid for some months,
il not for n longer period. This, how
ever, is not the only result of the debate.
1t is said that the result will be to elect
Jefferson Davis to the United State Sen
ate after the 4th of March, 1881, to sue
cecd Bruce, the colored Senator from
Mississippi. 1t is believed by sending
him to the Senate where he can speak for
himself before the country that stop
will be put to the constant abuse which
has been heaped upon him by the Re-
pelican leaders for the purpose OF
stirring up strife and bitterness between
the sections.

The coming presidential canvass is
eliciting considerable interest all over the
country, even this far ahead Of time, and
the New York Herald, with its usual
enterprise, hns taen publishing the opin-
ions of leading men throughout the
Union. Among the congressman whose
views have been madc known, wo note
the names Of Co.'s. Aiken and Evins,
and give below Inc Herahrs report OF
their positions
Mr.. D. Wyatt Aiken, Of the Third
District Of South Carolina, expresses his
preference fer Mr.. Thurlauu and does
not think Mr.. Tildcn could get demo
cratic vote, rs ho did not ,'cht for his
right to the Presidential chair. IIc does
not believe the republicans vii! nom
nate Grant, rs the masses do not wall
him. Mr.. Aiken prefers Mr.. Thurman
to Mr.. Bayard on financial questions, and
moreover, he has more backbone than
Bayard.
MIR. john II. Evins, Fourth District,
says Mr.. Thurman has the best chance,
because he il moro acceptable to the
Democrats Of the South owing to the po.
sition no hna taken on the financial oucs
ton. The Democratic nominee will no
doubt be opposed by Grant. In that
event Hancock will be good candidate
to oppose Grant, and no doubt Hancock
would accept. He Wonld be satisfactory
to the South. Tiden has not CHEST OF
O chance for the nomination.

wrote communicate which was pub

times at the general election in 1878.
The Investigation of the charges showed
that there WAS no truth in them. So

The question rs to whether Patterson
has been pardoned or not ia very easy
one to settle. The State authorities deny
that they have sent hin any pardon, but
the question the people wish answered
is, Hayo they granted him q pardon
r. makes no difference abont the sending,
Ii It aas, been granted the effect will be
tho ,same. If Patterson has been par
donel it Is the duty Of tho States officers
to make it known, that the unrest in the
peoples mind may be quieted. If they
have not given pardon, immediate
steps should be taken TO secure his return
to this State for trial. There ought moi
to be am further indulgence to Patterson
he is charged with the grayest offences
against the laws of this State. and has
6isregarded the process Of the properly
constituted authorities. The honor q
South Carolina is involved in the prose
cution of the leading official criminals OF
this State. The Democratic party has
repeatedly, before and since Its accession
to opoweri in this State, in the most posi-
tise and public manner accused Patter-
son, Chamberlain and their eonfreres
with grave crimca. and inserted an
abIlity TO prove it upon them. These

There is q very interesting contest now
progressing over the Speakership Of tho
next House of Representatives, to be
chosen at tho opening of the extra ses-
sion on the 18th inst. The prominent
candidates arc Speaker Randall, of
Pennsylvania, and Representative Black
burn, of Kentucky. with Representatives
Morrison, of Ohio, Springer, &C Illinoiu,
and Cox, of New York, spoken OF to a
considerable extent. 1t is thought, how
ever, that the contest will bo principally
between the first two named, with chan
ces in favor of Mr.. Blackburn, who is n
talented orator and brilliant parliament
tartan. Several Western and Northern,
men, it is asserted, will supper, him with
view of testing, in practical manner,
how the South will exercise power if it
should obtain control of the govern nett.
We trust that in tho contest the South
will sustain Speaker Randall, for he has
shown himself to be firm and al ,
presiding officer-fair in his rulings and
independent IN his judgment and express
sions. Mr.. Randall has commanded the
confidence and respect Of the whole
country during his two terms, and his
continuance in Office by Southern votes
would do mitch 10 di5urui tho blood blood j
shirt shakers of the Radical party ol
their much indulged cry that if the
South should obtain strong influence
in the affairs of the nation, it would use
its power to aggrandizo itself at the ex.
pense Of other portions of the country
While we admire Mr.. Blackburn, and
would be pleased at his elevation, VIC
prefer tho election of the Pennsylvania
statesman. The country wants a re-
storation Of confidence, and tho Demo.
cratic party should consider thoroughly
the effect Of any change before it il
made.

Suffering for a Life Time.

Persons afflicted wit:i rheumatism onsn
sili'er for life time, their tortures being al
most without remission. The joints and
muscles of such nnfortunates arc in most
cases sliockingly contorted and drawn out
of shape. To afford them oven temporary
relief, the ordinary remedies often provo
utterly useless. Ilostettcr's Stomach Bit
tcrs, on the other hand, is avouclcd by per-
SONS who have used it, to be genuine
source of relief. 1t keeps the blood cool by
promoting regular habit OF body, ana re-
moves from it impurities which, in the
opinion Of all rational pathologsts, origi-
nate this nsonizing complaint and its kin
drc'l malady, the gout. Besides this the
Bitters remedy disorders of the stomach
liver ard nerves, prevent and eradicate in
tcrmittcnt and remittcnt fcvers, promote
appetite and sleep, and are highly recon-
mcnded by physicians as a desirable medi
cinal s.inlulant and tonic.

WASHINGTON, March g, 1879.

WAsHlNGToN, March g, 1879.
Ex-senator Patterson to-day received n
letter from the attorney general 9! South
Carolina granting him full pardon and
oblivion for any indictments pending
against him in the State. Mr.. Patterson
will leave here in few days to accept an
important trust under the Southern Pa
cifc Railroad company in Arizona.
CoLUMDrA, March s, 1879.
Inregard to the Associated Press dispatch
to the effect that Patterson has received
q formal assurance from the attorney
general of this State that all proceedings
against him have been discontinued, your
correspondent made inquiry to-day of
Governor Simpson, who replied by an
emphatic assurance that he knew of no
such promise or understanding. At,or.
ney-General Youmans is in Charleston.
Attorney General Youmans, who is in
the city, was visited by reporter for
the Netcs and Courier yesterday, and re-
quested to state the terms upon which
this amnesty had been granted to Sena-
tor Patterson, and the reason which had
induced it. The attorney general stated
that the announcement contained in the
dispatch was entirely new TO him, and
that he had neither written, nor author
lied to be written, any such letter to
Senator Patterson. He was totally una
ware that any such amnesty had been
granted, or that the Governor had any
intention of so doing.

Tho great danger to the cause of free
government in Americ, lies in the ten
dency to destroy tho States and establish
central government, which by slow but
sure degrees will pass ileo despotism
This result is likely to be advanced in n
most substantial manner by the course
pursued by oflicious and partisan Judges
of the United States Courts, who, from
some other motive than judicial one
are moving in the general direction of a
complete destruction OF State rights and
the authority of State Courts. The latest
and most fragrant step Of this kind is the
action of Judge Rives, Of Virginia, who
has released two negro murderers because
negroes we're not empaneled upon the
jury to try the case, and recently, at the
session of the Court at Danvillc, has
caused the Indictment Of several of the
County Judges of Virginia on the charge
of violating their oaths by not enforcing
the amendments Of the constitution in
che. they having the supervision of DR. W.
ing juries have failed to have o Ja1 ger
number of negroes upon them. This ac-
tion has properly aroused the most in
tense feeling in Virginia, and the matter
will be vigorously fought to the Supreme
Court of the United States. The act it.
self, though unjustifable upon any
ground, is oe small consequence COM
pared to the fatal precedent it sets if it
should be anstainnd. The Democratic
party and the patriots among the Repub-
licans, whe love The Union better than
party, could not perform a more merito-
rions or wholesome deed for freedom
than by impeaching Judge Rlyes for
high crimes and misdemeanors. When
ever the execution of State laws becomes
subject to the review of United States
District Judge, constitutional liberty is
at an end, and the day is not far distant
upon which tyrant will rule "the great
est nation the world ever saw" with O
despotism limited only by his own
caprice.

The President has issued Il call for an
extra acssion Of Congress, TO be convened
on the 18th inst, in consequence Of the
failure of the expired Congress to pass
the ordinary appropriation bills before
the time fixed by law for its adjourn
ment. This failure, rs our readers know,
is due TO the political differences about
the election laws between tho Senate
controlled by Republicans and the House
controlled by Democrats. 1t has not
been frequent for extra sessions Of Con-
gress to be called, and only seven, in
Guiding the one to come, have ever been
ordered since tho adoption Of the Con-
stitution. The first WAS called by John
Adams. May 18th, to provide for tho
threatened French wor; the second by
Van Burcn, September 4th, 1887, to ccn-
slider the suspension Of the banks the
third by Harrison, May 3lst, 1871, to
consider new policy Of revenue and
finance; the fourth by Pierce, August
2lst, 1856, (thrce days after adjourn
mont) to provide for prosecuting All In
dian war; the fifth by Lincoln, called on
IT,, 10Th Of April to meet July 4th, in
consequence OF the fall Of Sumter; and
the sixth Ly Hayes, on October 18th,
1877 Thus it will be seen that Mr.
Hayes hns called twice rs many extra
sessions as any other PrcsideAt, and two
out Of seven in the whole history Of our
government. Tho first Of these extra
sessions WAS neccssitated by the persist
ence of the Republican party in inter
fering with tho State governments with
United States troops, upon which occa-
sion the Democratic House Of Rcprescn-
tativcs starved his cxccllcncy into obey
ing the Constitution by refusing to grant
money for the army until tho troops were
withdrawn from the State Houses oi
Louisiana and South Carolina. In this
instance the Democratic House has be.
! gun seigc nnon tho infamous test oath
for jurors and the partisan uso of tc
which supervisors arc put in elections
This is very efficient line Of battle, and
if persisted In, will certainly triumph
although the President Mt present bids il
defiance. 1t has, however, two years ir
which to accomplish its task, and how
ever much it may be distastcful t, the
Republicans, they may rs we'll make uI
their minds 20 Let these methods of op
preston and wrong bo numbered will
the things that were.
