GENERAL HANCocK's RECORD.

Perhaps the very few Republicans who
have been led to declare for General Han.
cock, will feel remorse when they read the
letter of that nominee TO which reference
is made in our dispatches to-day. 1t was
produced yesterday by Secretary Thomp-
son, and was written by Hancock to S. +.
Glover, of st. Louis, in July, 1865. In
that letter, says the account, he Endorsed
the platform and candidates of the Demo
cratic party of that year, which declared
that all the constitutional amendments, the
enfranchisement OF the negroes and the en-
tire work OF reconstruction were null and
void. The letter also Endorsed Frank
Blair's letter to Broadhead, advocating the
sending of the army South to undo the
work of reconstruction. Only the other
day we pointed out that if General Han
cock was consistent Democrat IN 1864,
when his party declared the war a failure
and crime, then he should have looked
upon the shooting of armed rebels as muir
der and have relinquished his commission.
But he did not do so, and was not there
fore good Democrat. But it appears he
atoned for all that by condemning in 1865
the work he was engaged in in 1861 Ger
tainly General Hancock's Union record for
consistency is very much mixed.

A PROMISING OUTLOOK.

While the crop report which the Rec
ORD. UNION recently published gave war
rant for the most hopeful conclusions, it
did not set forth the facts in full, because
in the more distant counties of broad area
it is difficult to gather by Geographic re-
port complete statements. Such reports
must always be supplemented by the mail
advices. We now find that in addition to
the extended acreage reported, the ex-
cellent condition of the crops and the fine
promise of heavy yield in the more central
counties, that the more distant sections
promise equally as well. Take Santa
Barbara, for instance. The outlook, we
learn, is there unprecedentedly favorable,
and that the yield of all kinds of growth
will be exceptionally large. The reports
through the interior press, and knowledge
otherwise gained, convinces us that the
harvest of 1880 will prove one of the best
the State has ever had, and that the
capacity of our acres for grain-growing has

tension of railroads, and the increase of
population, we find constantly new sec
lions opening up and the soil of old ones
increasing in the quantity and certainty of
its yield, especially in counties which have
heretofore had little credit for large pro-
duction. 1t is only the careful observer
who forsees the great Importance and the
magnitude of CALIFORNIA; earth produc-
ton. twill be but "a few years when she

producing section of the continent 1t will
also soon be found that agricultural knowl-
edge is leading to greater diversity of
growths, to more of the needed rota-
ton of crops, and to more varied culture
generally; and lastly, that agriculture is
to be the great industry of the common
wealth, the Industry which is to people
the State, and to endow it with the best OF
gifts, permanent homes.

The WATER INQUIRY TO BE PRcs-
ECUTED.

We learn, un0ficially, that individual
members OF the Board of Trustees have
stated their intention to favor, when the
Board assemblies, the "water inquiry.
The people will hail this announcement
with delight. If ever there was commu.
nifty unanimous upon any one subject it is
upon that now moving this people to the
center. The inquiry about to be made
must be thorough and exhaustive. We
have faith in the City Trustees that
when they enter upon it they will
make it satisfactory in every particu-
lar. A mere scanning of the subject, a
mere glance at the facts, will not do.
What is demanded is thoroughness of
reply on these subjects
/. The location, extent and trend of the
belt or strata from which pure water can
be had, as alleged by Mr.. Rose in his COM
munication to the RECORD UNION, and set
forth by others in brief letters published.
3 Analysis of the water now used from
the river and of that taken from all the
wells on the belt" or elsewhere in the
city, and statement OF their present and
probable future capacity.
3. Report as to the probable average
depth at which good water can be obtained,
and whether the water varies in character
at different depths, and if SO, in what par
ticular.
4. Report as to the probable cost of
sinking wells ON the belt named, and the
probable quantity obtainable and the adj
visibility of sinking new well as test.
s. The facts as to adapting the pres
emit system of mains and pipes and machin-
cry to anew source of supply.
G. The cost of water lifting from wells at
Alameda, Woodland, Stockton and Marys-
vile, and the probable cost of such lifting
in Sacramento as compared to the present
or direct pressure system.
To this end the committee to be named
should call before it every one having his
torical or scientific and practical knowledge
OF the subjects in Sacramento, and the
Trustees should guarantee the necessary
expense to reduce the statements Of
fact to writing. The committee should
also sit with open doors and invite
the free presence and expression of all citi-
zens. The facts, and all the facts, are
wanted, and then we desire, as finality to
thereports, recommendations of the commit.
tee based upon the testimony adduced.
Such procedure will settle the question,
and nothing else will.
The facts, we think, should be ascer-
tanned by committee of citizens who are
not committed positively to any theories
or systems concerning the matter, and who
should be requested to gather the facts
and report them to the Trustees in a con-
else form, for possible action by that body

TIE BUSINESS VERDICT.

One hundred and thirty of the leading
business men of New York city, imme-
diately after the nomination OF General
Arthur forwarded to him an invitation to
meet them at dinner, and accompanied the
equest-whlch, for reasons of private
nature, he was constrained to decline
with these hearty words of commendation
In common with all true Republicans,
"we rejoice at the happy issue of the
earnest struggle in the Chicago Conven.
elton. We hail the general approval of
its work as an suspicious omen, and go
forward confidently to the labors of TIE
"canyass. We feel an especial and per-
"sonal qualification in the fact that the
ticket selected at Chicago bears vour
"name Your faithfulness to public du-
&c ties, your firmness and sagacity in polit-
"ical affairs, SO well understood by your
"fellow- citizens in this State, have now
"met with national recognition, and
learned for you this well-deserved honor.
Our efforts in your support will be
prompted, not only by political zeal and
enthusiasm, but by the warmth of strong
personal friendship and esteem" Com
ing from very conservative class of men,
who are not given to rushing off on tan
gents, this Endorsement has peculiar sig
niicance. and is intensified by the state
business men of the Atlantic look upon the
success of Garfield and Arthur as guar
antee of increased prosperity and security,
and warrant for enlarged investments
and the pushing out in new lines of Amer
lean commerce, trade and industry.

LAssEN COUNTY NOTES.

The RECORD UNION correspondent at Su-
sanville, writing under date of the 18th,
says:
The year 1850 bids fair to be remembered
in future years by the farmers of Lassen
county as "the hard year" The deep
SHOWS and the cold winter greatly reduced
the cattle, horses and sheep of the county,
while the cold rainy spring so retarded the
sowing of grain that in many cases the
crop will be failure. From what l can
learn there will not be half crop of grain
in the county. There will be fair crop
of hay which the farmers have just COM
menced cutting The fruit crop, which
bids fair to be large one, will not come
up to expectations, as much of it has been
blasted and fallen. Fruit, grain and yege-
tables are nearly month behind former
seasons.
There's little enthusiasm manifested by
either party in regard to politics, although
it is current here that the Democrats IN
tend soon to start campaign paper. In
county with as few voters as this, politi-
cal paper would be heavy load for either
party to carry, in my estimation.
The trial of Charles 4. Miers for the
murder of Richard Walsh, on the llth of
April, near Bieber, will commence in the
Superior Court here on the I'd of August.
1t will be one of much interest.
The Odd Fellows have the foundation
laid for new hail. The structure will be
of wood, twenty-eight feet front and ex-
tending back eighty feet, and will be two
stories high. The lower floor will be
rented for mercantile purposes, and the
upper used as a hall for the Order. Work
on it will be prosecuted as fast as possible,
and when completed there will be a dedica-
ton and appropriate exercises held in it.
For over three weeks the weather has
been excessively warm. With the excep-
ton of three days the thermometer has
reached from so to 100 degrees in the
shade in the middle of the day, while,
what is quite unusual, many of the nights
have been quite sultry. Yesterday and
day before there were slight showers of
rain accompanied with thunder and light
ming. Enough rain fell to lay the dust,
but had little effect in cooling the air.
The fish in Eagle lake are dying by
thousands = that is, species of club.
There Is no apparent cause, as the water in
the lake is number of feet higher this
season than formerly. The dead bodies of
the fish create quite stencil, and eagles,
buzzards and other birds have collected in
great numbers and are enjoying rich
feast. 1t is curious that none but the
club die, as the lake contains trout and
number of other varieties, having been
stocked with white-fish and catfish from
the East.
Quite number Of persons in this county
are losers by the failure of the Reno Saw
ings Bank.

MARVELLOUS INCONSISTENCY.

The declaration is now made by the
Democrats that the amendments to the
Constitution settled forever the question of
States rights. Yet in the face of this de-
claration there stands, silently re6uking
them for want OF honesty, the States-rights
plank in the platform of the party. Was
ever such inconsistency heard of, We
doubt it. II the present declaration Of the
Democracy is true, that the doctrine was
settled by the war and the amendments,
then what earthly excuse has the party for
existence? Why does it not do one con-
sistent act and die. The fact is, that if
its declaration be true, there is no longer
any apology for its living. Indeed the
Democrats are the authors of conundrums
in this campaign.
