: LETTER FROM CALIFORNIA, : [ Number ot T i .. SaN FRrANclsco, CALIFORNIY, | ' Junuary Tth, 1873. me\'p J. B. SroLL, ' Dear Sir :—ln my last I left you at Cor.inpe, Utah. Here I remained eight days, during which I vigited Brigham City, a Mcormon town,as the name would indicate, which is embowered in fruit trees. The buildings are mostly of adobe. A thriving trade and rapidly increasing population -attest the importance of the ‘place, The public buildings include the Court House, a tabernacle, two hotels and no saloons. This place has a population of about 1,300. : ! . ; Corinne, six miles west of Brigham City, is the only Gentile town in the Territory, containing about 1,000 inbabitants, and at present isthe centre of a very extensive tr“t.bae an elevation of about four th nd feet, s distance from Omaha of 1,066 miles, und from San Francisco, east 858 miles. The city of Corinne has improved much within the last two years. It has two'hotels, one school houte; three churches, ene bank, two public balls, one jéil and twenty six stores. - Here we saw the first Chinese settlement; they being employed as repair bands on the Central “Pacific Railroad. * The advantages which this city possesses cannot fail to make the place oane of great importance in course of’ time; being as it is the distributing point for Montana trade. Around the town are thousands of acres of fine lands, which only require irrigation and cultivation to make them productive in the highest degree. Water for that pUrpgse‘ could be obtained from Bear river at little expense. During the year 1871 this was declared a port of entry and “The City Corinne,” a good-sized steambyoat, was launched upon Bear river and still makes regular trips across Salt Lake to the south side—a distance of about eighty miles—and finds employment in transporting passengers, ores for shipment, and other freigbts between Corinne and southern miunes. At present w liné of four harse coaches leaves Corinne daily, on the arrival of passenger trains, carrying the U:S. Mail and express goods to Virginia City and Helena, Montana—a distance of, to Virginia City 360, and to Helena 482 miles.

Now leaving Corinne and passing westward on the line of the Central Pacific, we draw pear the base ot the mountains,, which stope to the waters of the lake.— Here the farming lands gradrvally give way to the alkali beds—white, barren and glittering in.the sun. The channel along the railroad, caused by excavating to fill in the road-bed, is'filled with a reddish eold-looking water. - You will long to taste it, but when you have eagerly embraced the first opportunity to do so, you will as readily consent that it may be the ldst. The next place we reach is Blue Creek Station, which is situated on an elevation of about 4,360 feet'; thence, after passing some deep cuts and beavy grades, we pass a trestle bridge at our left, which is 500 feet long and 87 feet high. : Thiough more deep cuts and over more heavy fills, on we speed, winding around Prqmontofy Mountain until the lake.is lost to our view. Up we go, the engine pufling and snorting with its arduouns labors, until at length we arrive at Promontory Point, the former terminus of two Pacific railroads. - At an elevation of about 5,000 feet, this place is celebrated only as. being the point where the connection between the two roads was made, on the 10th day of May, 1869 ; to witness which there were present men from the pine-clad hills of Maine, the rock-bound coasts of Massachusetts, the everglades of Florida the golden shores of the Pacific slope’ from China, Europe and the wilds of the American Continent. - e

Passing Rozil Lake, Monument, Kelton and Mattin—all of which are unimportant stations—we arrive at the Great American Desert, extending over an area of about sixty-miles square. Over this vast extent the eye wanders in vain for some green object ; some evidence that in times gone by this barren waste supported animal life, or will in time to come. All is desolate in the extreme; the bare beds of alkali and wastes of gray sands alone meet the vision—if we except now and then a rocky hill, more barren, if possible, than the plains. - e , : Rolling onward,we pass Terrace Station, Rovine, Luuch, Thousénd, Spring Valley, Guose Creek, and finally crossing the line into Nevada Tearitory before we reach the next station. Speeding away a distance of one hundred and twenty miies, we at length come to Gravelly Ford, or Maiden’s Garve—so called from the fact that in early times a patty of emigrants from Missouri were camped Lere, waiting for the waters to subside; among them many families—women and children, who were, accompanying their protectors to the Land of Gold. While here an estimable young daughter of the Train Master fell sick, and despite the watchful care and loving tenderness of friends and kindred, she died, was buried and a head board reared to her memory. In course of time the young ‘girl’s fate and grave was forgotten by all except her immediate friends. = When the advance guaard of graders and culvert-men on the Central Pacific Railroad came to Gravelly Ford, they found the lone grave with its fast-decaying headboard, and learning the history of the silent sleeper, their sympathies were aroused and they enclosed the grave with a solid wall, upon which is inscribed, “The Lone Grave.” ; : 5 Leaving Lone Grave and passing many unimportant stations, we arrive at Cape Horn. As we approach this place we see the waters of the river, dancing along and looking like a winding thread of silver laid 1n the bottom of the charm 2,500 feet below us. Timid ladies will here draw back with a shudder—one look into the awful abyss being sufficient to unstring their nerves and banish all desire to linger near this, the grandest scene on the whole Line of the Trans-Continental Railrosd. As wo turn sharply found to our right,

whem the towering masses of rock have been tut down, affording a road bed where a few years ago the savage could not make a foot trail. Far above us they rear their black crests; towering away as it were to the very clouds, their shadows falling far across the lovely little valley now ‘laying on our left a thousand feet below. L i Gliling along and talking of what we had just seen, the cars have passed a distanze of five' mi'es west when we are told. by the Conductor that we are nearing Colfax. Here we must leave you for the present, but liope to be with you again soon. Yours as ever, i i G. W. CHAPMAN,

Four Men to be Hanged on Circum--5 i stantial Evidence, ° - ‘ ~ Four men, all whites, are now laying in the County Jail of Burnet County, Tex., under sentence of death, all to be executed at the same place on Tanuary 15. Their names are Benjamin Shelby, Ar thur Shelby, Bal Woods, and William Smith, They were all sentenced for the morder’bt Benjamia McKeever. Their case, taken in all its details, is one of the most interesting in the annals of criminal trials, The evidence against them, though conclusive, was entirely circumstantial. McKeever was shot from his horse st night near the residence of the Shelbys, his throat then cut,.and his body carried on horseback three miles and thrown ‘into a cave. A large rock was placed on the bloody spot where his throat was cut, but this precaution, instead .of concealnig the crime, led to the arrest of ‘the criminals. The keen eyes of a frontiersman saw that the rock hud been re cently placed there; so it was removed, and indications of blood found. A closer search resulted in the further finding of a paper .wadding that had been fired from a shot gun, . On examining a gun of Ben jamin Shelby, paper wadding was like wise found in it, and yet another wadding that had been evidently flred from a shot gun like the firgt, was found under Shel by’sdoorstep. “In his house was found a copy of the Chimney Corner, and by com parison it was ascertained. that the three pieces of gun- wadding haa been obtained from that paper. Placed together the following enigma could be easily read : With piece of paper or a slate, . { Sit round the fire both large and small : A letter make, almost an eight, | ; And now you se¢ what covers all y There ‘were 'several other circumstances pointing strongly to the accused men us the murderers; therefore the jury that tried them did not hesitate'to find them guilty of murder in the first degree.

The Sandwich Islands, The death of King Kamohamoha, of the Sandwich Islands, bas brought to the at. tention Gf the government at Washington the inportance of taking prompt measures to prevent the British government from obtaining the ascendency in shaping the future policy of Hawaiian affairs. To meet the expediency of the case General Schofield, the United States Military Commander of the Pacific Coast, has been sent to Hosolulu, with special instructions to co operate with Geacral Pierce, the Amer ican Minister, and to see that American interests are not sacrificed. This we regard as eminently prudential, and Grant is said to have great confidence in General Schofield’s ability to guard fully Ameri can interests in those Islands—interests which areannually growing inimp >rtance and which make it imperative that no foreign power shall gain such a foothold there as will in future lead to trouble or inconvenience. The development of the trade between the United States, China, and Japan is a matter of vast importance, and the position of the Sandwich Islands is such that the United States can not af tord to permita further increase of British influence in their government and policy. It is understood that a large British naval force has been ordered to reridezvous at Honolulu. This movement is to be met by the United States. The California; a war steamer of twenty-one guns, takes out General Schofield, and other vessels will follow at once, and if any foreign power is to govern these islands, is is claimed that the United States have the best right to the honor, and will present their claim in such a way that it will not be disre: garded. o ' .

The New Assessment Law—Some Need- . ‘ed Information. The Auditor of State, in answer to in nuvmerable inquiries from county officers, submits the following points for general guidance: : : QFFICE OF THE AUDITOR OF STATE, INDIANAPOIS, Jan. Ist; 1873, % | _ - By the act entitled *“An act to provide for a uniform assessment of property, and for the assessment :and return of. taxes therein, approved Dec. 24th, 1872 the office of township assessor is abolished and the duty of assessing both real and per-. sonal property is assigned to one county astessor, . The persons chosen at the last election as appraiser of real estate, are designated as such assessors until the next election, and may with your;advice and consent appoint the necessary suitabie as sistants. By experience as a County Audi~ tor, I have learned how heavily the evil of ince mpetent assessors talls upon such officers, and it is hoped that through the provisions of this section you will protect both yourself and the publig by insiding upon the appoinfment of none but competent assistant ecommend that you at once obtain aﬁ;rview with your asSessor, agree upon the necessary and proper assistante, and the territory to be asses sed by each, in order that yon may make _the lists required by sections 109,271 and 277 accordingly. These lists or books may be in the form beretofure used in appraisements, with the single addition/of & column for personal property. I would recommend, also, that you provide for your assessor two classes of blanks, the first adapted to listing such persons as have both personal-and real property ; the second for such persons as have personal property only. By reference to yourlast -tax duplica‘e, you will be able 'to arrive at very near the pumber of each class of blanks that will be required. In assessing, the Assessor should keep the different blanks.in separate packages, and use as occasions require: You will please call the Assessor’s attention specially to the matter of statistics, It will be but little additional trouble to fill the right band column with!the whole production, as the left. is being filled with what was owned on the first day of April. Where lists of lands and lots for the use of the Assessor have been made, by noting thereon the additional transfers' which may-be made to the first day of April, I know of no reason why such lists may not answer the purposes of the present law, saving to your cflice much labor, and to the public the expense of additional books. The book for statistical purposes will not be needed until after t#e’ﬁrst of April, . \ : * JorN C. SHOEMAKRER, Auditon.

What “Credit Mobilier’’ Means. A correspoudent asks the meaning of the words “Credit Mobilier.” (Several Congressmen have asked the same giess tion.) We presume he wishes to be in formed concerning the original derivation and use of the term. We will endeavor to explain it. The “Credit Foncier” has long been the general title for associations that advance money on land ed or immovable sccurities. The “Credit Mobilier” was the name given to a powerful corporation, organized in France in 1852, for advancing mouey on movable property. .The name was adopted evidently with the purpose of affording a ready definition of the object of the asso. ciation. The “Societe Generale de Credit Mobilier” became a great and profita - ble v%;terprise. ‘lt had special privileges undef its charter. It assisted materially in the construction of railways and the promotion ol! mining schemes. Among. other enterprises in which it was notably interested were the Goverament loan on account of the Russian war, the Grand Central Railway Company, and the General Omnibus Company” of Paris. At one time, it advaneed 250,000,000 francs, and at agother time 875,000,000 francs to the French Government. Its business was so great in 1855, that it declared a dividend of 40 per cent on its capital.: While it was manifestly the means of do- | ing much good in Fraace, it eyentually failed. 5 ' The'introduction of the terms “Credity Foncier” : and “Credit Mobilier” = into America are dueto Mr. George Francis Train. He established a “Credit Foneier” with Omaha lands, which he hawked about the country some years ago He gave the name of “Credit Mobilier of America” to a corporation with universap privileges, which was organized in Pennsylviania. It was appropriated by Messrs, Oakes Ames, Durant; & Co.,tJ serve as the party of the third part in tbe famous “triplicate agreement” by which' the managers of the Union Pacific Railroad let out the contract for building the road to themselves, in payment for which they modestly took the road itself,all the United States bonds, all the first mort‘gage bonds, all. the United Stated lands,~ etc.,at a profit of over 1,000 per cent on an entirely fictitious capital: This.is what “Credit Mobilier” means, ia the modern American and Congressional use of the word.” The title is not inappropriate. The transanction was literally a Credit on Movables,—the United States Government furnishing the credit and the mrmey, and Messrs. Oakes Ames & Co. taking the movables —that is, these curities and the profits. — Chicago Tribune.

Measuring Brick. i A suit of great importance to builders has been decided in the New York Court of Common Pleas. A brick mason agreed . to build a bouse and charged six dollars per thousand for laying the brick. When be came to measure the brick he measured all the openings, doors, windows, &e., as solid work, making his bill $2,300 larger than it would bave been had he only measnred the solid wall. The man forgwjhom the work was done refused to pay this $2,300 and the man brought suit to force the payment, pleading the custom of brick masons in his favor. The Court decided that his charge was illegal, .and that he bad no. legal right to chargé for lavingbrick that were never laid. This decision is important to builders and contractors, as other State Courts would be likely to follow the decision and precedent set by a New Yok Court. e G
