A WARNING LETTER FROM CALIroRNII

SAN DiEGo, CAL, May 18th, 1852.
Editor of the Journal,
I noticed in the Weekly Journal short
time since that the young men of Maine
were leaving the State for the far west. and
- this place is and has been very extensively
advertised, with the object of turning the tide
of immigration here, l feel it my duty to say
. few words to those of nv native State in
regard to this section Of the country and
arswer some Of the questions asked ME in
letters l have received. The boast of this
town IL its bav and climate, and all the old
settler says in regard to either is all right.
but hundreds have tried to live on IL here
(for there Is nothing else to live on). and
have made failure. The only connection
this town has had and now has is by steamer
and stage. At present Boston parties are
building railroad to connect with the South
ern Pacific, l3S miles from here, and on the
strength of thar the real estate man will tell
you there will soon be big city here. They
will also tell you this is a fine fruit and grain
country. which is false; all kinds of tropical
fruit will grow here. but before the farmer or
merchant or any other man trys it here, consid
er wellwhetherit will pay to come here and buy
aranch and raise fruit. In the first place, this
10 dry country. The rainy season is in the
winter, there being about six to eight inches
rainfall. A few weeks after it looks dry and
brown all around here I can't learn that
full crop vas ever raised here. Thete are
two or three good fruit ranches here, but
they cost the owners from Sc. 600 TO SIS 900
TO get them in paying condition. In fact. a
man wants at least s25 900 to start in on
ranch. Il will cost as much for water ar
Engagements as would buy good farm east.

The arrivals of immigrants for the
month of May promise to exceed those of
any other month in our history April
added 100000 of strange people from
abroad to our population March gave us
$1,000. The preceding eight months Of
the fiscal year averaged 1900 a month.
At the present time they are pouring into
New York alone at the rate of 10000 q
week. Nearly one-half of them hail from
the different provinces of Germany, but
England Ireland. Sweden. Italy and Can
ada contribute their thousands to swell
the rapidly-increasing population of the
country. The total arrivals during the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1882. will
probably exceed 100000.

DOings in the Commons.

In the Commons this afternoon Forster
made personal statement, denying that the
government had negotiated with the suspects
clandestinely or to him, as alleged BY James
LOwther.
Dillon resumed the debate on the repres.
sion bill.
Gladstone severely denounced Dillon for
endorsing the outrages by refusing to assist
the government in carrying the bill.
Dillion declared he had always denounced
the outrages.
Gladstone replied with great passion.
After q severe denupciation of the hill bv
several hOmerule members the debate on the
motion to go into committee on the repres-
sion bill again adjourned until tomorrow on
motion of Parnell.
The utterance of Dillon that provoked
Gladstone's attack implied that the evictions
were more culpable than the outrages.

subject, but the democrats decline to de-
