cover certain real estate in this county to-
gether with rents, profits, damages, etc.
III real estate involved comprises about
s,4lS acres known as Rancho Rincon De
San Francisquis or Rancho Santa Rita.
All the defendants are owners OF farms or
OF town lots around the town of Mayfold,
and that portion of Stanford's Palo Alta
farm, known as the Peter Crults purchase,
is included. The plaintiff AYERS that on
the first day OF March, 1860, he was, and

one-half the ranch; that the defendants, by
their wrongful possession, have damaged
him to the amount of 500. 900, and that

numersbly by the most expert lawyers Of
the State, who have pronounced the claim
which Secundino Robes sets up, abso-
lutely without merit or equity, and no ap-
prehension is felt by the parties interested
as defendants.
Message.
SAL FRANCISCO, Dec. 3.-The New York
Sun says: No President has ever pro-
posed more important measures, and no
one has stated his ideas in simpler and
clearer style than Mr.. Arthur. The Her.
aid praises the message, as does the Tri-
bune, the World, the Times, and all the
other journals. The Herald says the
terms of the treaty are such as will bring
the Clayton-Bulwer treaty into debate and
raise questions between the United States
and Great Britain concerning the obliga-
ton. The Sun says the most important
subject referred to in the message of the
President is the treaty with Nicaragua for
the construction Of an inter-oceanic canal.
