preme court of California in the case of Thomas

non on the Pacific coast and concerns title to
property IN san Francisco of great value The
eecI OF the decision is TO sustain the rulings of

the controversy was as 10 the line of the bound
AIRY OF the city Of San Francisco.

can pueblo four square leagues OF land on the
northern part of the peninsula on wh ich the
city is situated. 1t presented its claim to the

cation and confirmation. The board confirmed

the remainder The case was appealed 60 the
United states district court and sfterward trans
lerred TO the United States circuit court for the
district OF California. Here the claim OF the cItv

leagues. The case was further appealed to the
supreme court OF the United States which, in
December, 1856, on motion of the attorney gen

today of Governor Humphrey reslgning,

altogether brood mares, and we
would buy none that are not now in
foal to thoroughbred draft horse of
some breed. We would put thirty
acres Of the homo eighty in grass and
keep just enough farm land for one

resolution, making Monterey the capital
was evidently for the purpose of counter
acting the decree favoring Los Angeles,
which had been secured years before by
J. A. Carrillo. The Mexican govern
ment appears to have given it no atten-
ton, for there is nothing more about it
in the records.
Southern California was defeated but
not discouraged. Betrayed and over
powered, che still had her patriotic
sons. The treatment of Northern Cali
fornia had been selfish and outrageous
and had resulted in rousing the spirit of
Justice in the abajenos to a greater de-
gree than ever. Thev.had all this time
been learning in the school OF expert
ence, and subsequent events proved
that they had been apt scholars.
General Manuel Michetorena was APP
pointed to succeed Alvarado as governor
on January %, 1S42. The change was
made because of a general dissatisfac-
ton about Alvarado. He had broken
his promises to the American rifemen
to grant them land, and when they had
urged him to fulfill the contract, he had
banished them to Mexico. The central
government was compelled to pay them
heavy damages for their illegal exile.
Then, Alvarado had gone to
such extremes in his warfare with
the abajeflos that the spirit of justice
In such men as M. G. Vallejo and others
sympathized with the south. Besides,
having lost Vallejo's moral support and
incurred the opposition of the Ameri-
cans in the north, he had the hatred of
the south. So Alvarado went.
In the new governor the abajeflos
were simply out of the frying-pan and
in the fire. Governor Micheltorena
brought with him battalion of 800
Mexican convicts, who speedily wore
out their welcome at San Diego, Los An
geles and Monterey.
The departmental assembly met at
Monterey February 10, 1874, to choose
a quinterna for governor. The abajeilos
were absent, not having received suf-
ficient notice. They at once charged
the arribefos with intrigue.
The departmental assembly met again
on August oath. Since February the
abajefios had agitated the question OF
moving the capital to Los Angeles city,
in accordance with the decree of 1885.
Don Pho Pico, ever a champion
of Southern California, brought up
the question again. The arribe1los
seeing that the abaje1os were about to
triumph. made a compromise with the
Barbarehos, and, on ballot, Santa Ynez
received the majority. The abajenos
were again defeated, but the hour OF
their final victory and arribeilo defeat
was at hand. Their opportunity came
in the general revolt against Michelto-
rena.

FONY HART DYING.

NEW YORK. April 25.-Relatives Of
Tony Hart in this city have received
news that the demented comedian is
slowly dying and they have almost
abandoned hope that he will live dur
ing the coming summer. He is still con-
fined In the Massachusetts State Insane
Asylum at Worcester. Many weeks ago
he lost the use OF his lower limbs and is
now speecbless. He does not seem to
recognize visitors. 1t is not unlikely
that there will be bitter fight for the
balance of the fund raised for Tony
Hart At the Academy of Muse benefit
in this city few years ago. The actors
fund has applied for the appointment OF
a trustee OF the money ON the ground
that the fund organized the benefit.
Harts relatives will probably contest
tins claim. They will seek to prove that
the benefit was given by friends of Tony
who volunteered their services apart
from any association they may have
nad with the actors fund. and on this
ground they will CLAIM that the unex-
pended balance should 90 to the sup
port of Tony's aged father.
