BOARD OF EQUALIZATION.
The Application for Reduction upon
Rancho Del Faso.

There was full Board present at the SEES
sion of the Board of Equalization yesterday.
The applications fled were as follows. and
after hearing the testimony of applicants IN
relation to reductions asked, the several cases
were taken under Amusement for future
decision
The Natoma Water and Mining Company
on 10000 gallons of wine, from s., 400 to
S. coo 4, 800 gallons vinegar, from 1873 to no
value 40 fermenting tubs, from Sl,000 to
500: one engine, pump and still, from 81, 0O0
to 500; on raisins, from $500 to no value
on Natoma Ditch Canal. from $4,000 TO
SIS, 900.
c. P. Hersley, on 900 acres swamp lands
survey, from So to SIS per acre.
Edward Krouse, on lots 6, and 5. between
H and I, and Seventeenth and Eighteenth
streets. city, from 81, 400 TO 81, 500.
John Booker, on lot 4, between n and 0,
and Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets, city,
from 81. 400 to 81, 200 and on improvements,
from $500 to $500.
The Board then proceeded to consider the
application of j. 3. Haggin for reduc.
ton upon the Rancho Del Patio, consisting Of
43 446 acres, from S14 62k per acre to
IS 50 Der acre, or in the aggregate. from
$685., 292 to $500, 800. A large number OF
witnesses were present and testified upon the
respective sides of the case. Among those IL.
troduced Fy Mr.. Haggin in support OF
tbs reduction were A. P, Catlin, +. w.
Frat. George Cone and Jerome G. Davis.
Those in support of the assessment as re.
turned and borne upon were Richard Atell,
Elisha Daley, E. II. Driver, George. Smith
and several others who are owners OF lands
adjoining the grant under consideration The
testimony, as is usual in such cases, was very
conflicting and exhibited a wonderful range
and difference of Judgment in regard to the
quality. condition and cash value Of the lands
contained in Rancho Del Pasc, or an extreme
elasticity of conscience in the statement of
facts. OF course those examined for Mr..
Haggin fully sustained his claim for reduc-
ton to the amount stated in the application,
while the much larger number who testified
upon the other side showed as conelusiyely
that the lands were worth the full value for
which they were assessed, if not more.
The hearing of testimony was concluded
and the case taken under advisement.
Then Board then at 6 p. NJ. adjourned to
Q O'Clock this morning.

published in cities SO dead that they grasp

State as a drowning man grasps at straw,
are just now raising their voices in piteous
appeal for a division of California. Divide

filed the Golfers OF every land, and whose
contributors in times of great need has

the Pacific coast-her head jeweled by the
crown of the Sierras and her scepter the
shining mountains of gold and the valleys
of producsiveness. When those men who
have toiled in her mountains heart-sick and
weary, and who have labored in her valleys
forlorn and desolate in the golden days of
the past. clamor for division, let it be
done. They are the people who have made
this State what it is-the grandest and
brightest jewel in the diadem of the Union.
But when those who are moved by motives
of petty regard for an equally petty local.

grade, into an outcry to the effect that we
must have a division, then it is time tor

to raise their voices in the demand that
this great State must and shall be pre-.

The Younger Brothers.

The old uncle of the Younger brothers
recently urged the Governor of Mime
sofa to remit the sentence of the des-
peradoes now serving life sentence.
The Governor listened to what the old
man had to say, and then told him with
a frankness, which was the best method
under the circumstances, that he had
nothing of encouragement to offer;
that on no account would he, for one
minute, consider the propriety of par
doning the prisoners or RENTING any
of the sentence imposed upon them.
The Governor became really eloquent
as he talked and remembered the cir
cumstances of the crime. Your age
and manifest feeling said he, move
my pity, but when think of poor Hey
wood, the cashier, refusing with hero
ism that has no parallel to forsake his
trust, and when remember how your
nephew's shot him down in the coolest
blood, Indignation takes the place o.
pity, and instead of feeling that they
have been punished sufficiently, am
more and more inclined TO feel that
death would have been juster and
more righteous penalty" The old
uncle freely acknowledged that he
could blame no one for entertaining
such feelings, and thanking the Tower
nor for the kindness extended him. ne
