amendment is that which we have sug-
gested. There ought to be no more of the
thimble-rigging game with mineral and
agricultural lands, by which it is made i'm
possible for any man to know what kind Of
title he is acquiring or what kind
of trouble he is buying into. When
ever land is taken up for agricult-
ure ii ought to belong to the
cultivator, and if it prove to contain
minerals they ought to belong to him too.
Why should they not? Why should they
be reserved fol any rowing prospector who
may come along? What better right can
the prospector have to the minerals than
the man who has already fled his claim to
the land in which they lie? How indeed
can the prospector have half so good a
right to them as the owner of the land !?
These are questions which require to be
thought upon, and we commend them, and
this whole subject, especially to the con-
sideration of our Senators and Representa-
tives in Congress, assuring them that if
they desire to benefit their State they can
not take more certain method than by
uniting their energies and abilities for the
reform of those mining laws which now
oppose SO insurmountable a barrier to the
development of the foothill lands of Cali
foruia.

TIE DEATH OF CONNOLLY.

Connolly, !" Slippery Dick as he was
called in the Tweed era, is dead, abroad,
in disgrace, and we believe poverty. He
is one of the last Of that gang of thieves
who plundered the city of New York for
so many years SO easily and audaciously
and successfully. He turned States evil
dence on his friends, and therefore was
permitted to escape from the country, and
ne has been wandering about the CONT
nent of Europe ever since, a broken ras-
cal. The Tweed gang did not succeed in
keeping their stolen wealth, and the ex-
PLANTATION of this fact is easy enough with
out calling in the assistance of a retribu-
tive Providence, or other supernatural
machinery. These men were all politi-
clans of low class, but not business men.
They had never owned property or earned
it before, and so they did not know how
to keep it when they got it. Most of
them were tfeeced in their turn by sharper
rogues than themselves Several of
them were sucked dry by the lawyers
who undertook to defend them. A few
sought to save their property by putting it
out of their hands, but the temptation
proved too great for the friends they had
employed for this purpose, and they were
stripped. In short, they have only added
few more illustrations to the common
experience that those only know how to
take care of property who have spent their
lives in acquiring aud dealing with it; and
that such as acquire it at secondhand
rarely succeed in retaining it. If the
Tweed gang had made their money in
lottery they would probably have lost it
almost as quickly. But though they have
lost it, it is not of record that the good peo-
pie Of New York have recovered what they
were plundered OF. Such justice as that is
reserved for poetry and fiction

TIE FoNcAs AGAIN.

Another report in the case of the Pom.
cas- has aeen made, and it bears very
heavily upon Kemble, the agent who CT
fected their removal, and less directly, as
is alleged, upon Secretary Schurz, who is
said to have sanctioned the removal after
it had been commenced. No doubt a bru-
tai and tyrannical agent in such case
could conceal the facts from his supe-
riors, and this is what appears to have
been done here. The Department is sup
posed to have confidence in its agents, and
it must take its official information from
them in the first place 1t does not ap-
pear that Mr.. Schurz could have known
the truth about the Poncas until the mis-
chief was done. and therefore we are dis
posed to regard the structures upon him
as probably unwarantable, while we are
quite prepared to believe that bis aubor-
dinate may have misbehayed himself as
stated. The Poncas ought to have justice,
in any case, and that without further loss
of time.

THE CALIFORNIA DELgGArIoy.

The New York Times affects to think
that the action of the California delegation
TO Chicago in declaring against the unit
rule, after being instructed to vote solidlv
for Blaine, is inconsistent. The Times is a
Grant paper, and therefor its vision is
jaundiced. There is nothing inconsistent
in the action of the California delegation.
1t was instructed by the State Convention,
which fully represented the Republican
sentiment of the State, to vote for Blaine,
first, last and all the time. It was sent to
Chicago to use its utmost exertions for the
success of that candidate 1t finds that
the unit rule is in the interest of Grant.
1t recognizes as its first duty the support
Of Blaine, and therefore it opposes the
unit rule, Be it further observed that this
is clear illustration of the dishonesty OF
the unit rale, and a fresh proof that 1t
never can be insisted upon but with the
express purpose Of suppressing private
Judgment, and so DISTINGUISHING opponents.
For the California delegation, though
bound by its instructions, has no need of a
unit rule, being entirely harmonious
whereas the unit rule is sought to be ap-
piled for the dragooning and coercing of
delegations which are known not to be
harmonious. The California delegation has
acted sagaciously and conscientiously. and
we have no doubt that it viii hold its
ground to the end.

THs CHICAGO coNyEN ZOE.

The contest a. Chicago proceeds with
deadly determination, and amid the noise
and dust IL is impossible to perceive how
it tends. AS usual in such cases both
sides are almost equally confident, as far as
their public utterances go, but very little
can be gathered from these studied asser-
tions. The Blaine men claim very much
larger deCeotions in the Grant ranks than
the Grant men are willing to admit The
Grant men declare that the Blaine men are
much weaker than they will allow The
fight over the unit rule in the National
Committee appears to have been conlpro-
missed or suspended, the reason probably
being that the Convention alone can deter.
mine whether or not the rule shall be on
served and that therefore any action Of
the committee would be inconclusiye and
futile. 1t is further apparent that if, as is
claimed, ;here Is majority of one hun
dred against the unit rule in the Conven-
ton, It would be impossible for any Chair
man t. enforce It in the teeth of such an
opposition. The Convention must be a
law to itself, and the National Committee
could not bind it save in circumstances
where there would be no necessity for any
such preliminary precaution. II the Blaine
and Sherman and other anti Grant dele
gates are numerous and harmonious enough
to vote down the unit rule in the Con-
vention, the present indications are that
they can prevent the nomination OF Grant.
Ii they are not numerous or harmonious
enough to vote down the unit rulc the
presumption Is that they cannot prevent
the nomination Of Grant The anti Grant
forces appear to have gained all their
other points. They have secured the tenn
porary Chairman. They nave majority
OF the Committee of Arrangements, and
they viii be strong enough to control tie
Committees on Credentials and Order OF
Business. We do not see how The Grant
men can procure the admission Of the con-
tested Illinois and Louisiana delegations,
as the case stands. Perhaps they calcu-
late on being able to effect their purpose
without the help OF these delegations, but
that possibility does not appear in any esti-
mate we consider Trustworthy The Con
veution viii meet at ten o'clock tllia morn
ing, but it is doubtful whether 5siiot will
be reached to-day, even il an evening scs-
sion is held, unless the Committee on Gre.
dontials should dispose of its work with
unprecedented rapidity.

CREMATION, though making little or no
substantial progress in this country, is
tiourishing in Europe-special reference be-
ing had in this remark to the continent
and is even getting foothold in conserva-
tive England. A society for the promo
ton of its peculiar views has been formed
in that country, and it is SO far advanced
as to have already secured possession of ex-
tensive grounds, which are being hand
somely laid out The cremation itself will
be patterned after that in use in Milan,
and is that known as Professor Gorini' S
system, 1t is somewhat surprising that a
society OF this kind should have been per-
mitted to have become established without
provoking that bitter opposition which the
first suggestion On the subject Of crema-
ton called forth in that country some
years ago. 1t is to be said, however, that
the permission OF Parliament to practice
the rite must be first obtained before the
society will be allowed to practically carry
out its plans. On the continent, or the
other hand, so far from being opposed, it
appears that Government and municipal
authorities have given cremation their en-
couragement and support; and before
many years have passed it is more than
probable that it will have become so gen.
orally practiced as to no longer attract op-
position or even notice.

rhc official crooI,edncss In Kern Comfy.

BAKERSFIELD, June lst.-Ihe trials OF
county officers which began to-day in the
Superior Court here, resulted from an exam
ination Of the Assessors, Tax Collectors and
Auditors accounts duriag the last few months
by experts under the direction of the Super
visors. In May the Grand Jury found true
bills for ENLIGHTENMENT against r. r. Don
nell, ex-Assessor, and G.. a. Botsford his
deputy, the former going to Jail and the latter
giving bail, for forgery. They ignored the
charges against the other officials, but recon-
mended that the examination of the books
should continue. This resulted in the late
arrests, by District Attorney Smith, of A.
T. Lightner, I. W. Craig and j. Fountain.
Botsfords case came up this morning before
the Superior Court, Judge b. Brundage pre-
siding. The charge is writing the word
paid on the assessment roll after it had
passed into the hands of the Auditor. I'm
der the rules in Kern county this involves a
loss to the county Of over $500. Larger
sums are involved in the other cases. Eight
jurymen out OF the venire of nineteen were
obtained this morning, and special venire OF
twelve being summoned for , in the after
noon, the Court adjourned till that hour. In
tense interest is felt in the trial, and the
people are anxiously awaiting further develop

Crops Seriously Damaged by Blight.

MERGED. June 1st.-Farmers in town from
various sections OF the county east Of the San
blight, caused by the late north winds. Some
say that the wheat ON summer-fallowed lands
has suffered most. in some cases having the
appearance of new hay thoroughly cured, and
the kernels shriveled and as hard as Shoe
pegs. The crops in the alkai and adobe soils
have suffered most, though the grain uron
the lighter soils has suffered more or less.
Many are moving their fields thus blighted,
but the hay Will not be first-class. Some es-
innate the loss at fully half the crop,
whils in some ether sections nearer the foot
hills the damage is slight. Ga the whole the
blight is a serious blow to the bright pros
poets of two weeks ago.
