A San Francisco reporter had an interview with Col, Bee, the avowed attorney of the Six Companies. Bee stated that it was the opinion ef the Celestiuls that the murder of the man and woman was not committed by Chinamen but by the teamster ; of the murder of Mr. Sargent they are more doubtful, but claim that if} dt were done by their countrymen it ~ was the act of highbinders and not of the working classes.

The London Spectator says that wheat is now dearer tban it has been we believe, for many years, and there are of course, those who say it must get dearer yet. The home harvest is said to be generally below the average. We bave bad all through the middle and northern parts of the island a most tempestuous season; crops will be exceptionally late, and and on mauy soils exceptionally poor and altogether the outlook is gloomy. Add to the position at home the fact that the French harvest is probably but barely equal to the requirements of tae country, at the very best view, and it is therefore uot, unlikely that France may have to be a considerable buyer abroad; that the yield in Spain is, though showing a surplas, not equal to expectation; that the to be difficult to get at through the war, and that all-supplies from the valley of the Danube are cut off damages for the destruction of his through the same cause,and we have property and business losses of whatever nature caused by their enforced exodas from Rocklin and‘ any other and all places in the county, Around the World. James O. Woodraff and General Daniel Macanley of Indianapolis, have chartered a vessel with which tostart on October Ist, for a sail around the world. Two hundred and fifty young men who are to: atudy and see the world at the same time are to be taken, and also a Faculty consisting of eiffteen profeasors and assistants.

The most favorable estimate of the home wheat crop which we have seoa—that of Mr. H Dains-Jackson, no inconsiderable authority — gives us barely twelve million quarters, or barely half what we require for food and stock purposes; and if the harvests‘of Europe “are, witb the exception of that of Hungary, either indifferent or inacceasable, it its evidently, a.serious problem to know whence the deficiency is to be supplied. We want it may be conceded, in round figures at least eleven million quarters of wheat between now “and. this time next year. Where is it fo be had? The United Stutes alone professes to be able to supply the whole.of the immense quantity. They claim to have « surplus of exportable grain of over twelve willion. quarters and this they will be ready to let us have ata price.

Under the loose statutes of some States a few sharpers could get a charter and fleece. their wictims with a minimum risk of punishment, The cuse of one company) was instanced which was started upon a capital of $16,000, and in a little time the originators bad control of $10,000,000 nominal assets, Even where those who form the company, owning and controlling the stocks, were honest, a wrecker buys a controlling interest, then circulates stories of the company’s failure, and a pal enters proceedings in a Court of Bankruptcy. Nine-tenths of the . policy holders, believing them worthless, fail to make the next annual payment, forfeiting, of course, their policies, The other tenth re-insure in some other company believed to be sound, and the stock holders, chuckling over their suecess, divide up the milliong of assets. The Phonix Compuny represented their capital stock as $108,000. Investigation showed but $16,000 paid in, the balance being represented by stock holders’ notes; and the report of 1875 showed that these men, with-an actdal capital of only $16,000, controlled $10,000,000 worth of property.

It was shown by testis mony that the purchase was made, and Goodman had control of ~$10,000,000 -worth of usseta upon which to speculate. The speaker, havinga $10,000 policy, sent out an injunetion to prevent ‘the sale, Furber, chief wrecker, and a poor school teacher five years ago, was reputed as worth $10,000,000 at the time of the investigation,and was negotiating to purchase the Phoenix when the injunction was taken out. He also desired to buy the Charter Oak, and got Steadman, an aid, to represent it as insolvent, in order to beat down the price. After buying at $150,000, the Company was again reported solvent, and the lneky Furber came into possession of $13,000,000 worth of aswets by his finesse. Property he bought for a song was put ep to abont $6,000 as assets, to cheat fresh Vielims. _AntOutraged Visitor, “Tt is at last demonstrated that all the sanathemas which have been heaped upon the grasshoppera have really been showered upon one of tle most useful erentures that ever trod a wheat field. The Anaheim Gazette tells all about it, and puts os on the right track concerning this much abused tramp, A man rented about . . thirty acres of Los Alamos Rancho, . Santa Barbara County last year, and . sowed the land in wheat. The seed he used wasdirty, and the resalt:wap a mixed crop of barley and wheat, sprang up. The grasshoppers eame along, reviewed the situation, and started to clean out the barley, whieli they did most effectually, leaving the wheat untouched. The crop waxed strong and flourished. It has now been harvested, and averaged more than 20 bushels tothe aere of good, clean wheat.

Cordial Greeting. The President’ s party left Louisville at 8 ovlock Wednesday morning. At Elizubethtown the train made a stop, ond the President addressed the people from the platform. When Sualt River was reached Gov. Hampton, who was seated on the rear platform with the President, remarked: Well, Mr. President, we have at lust been sent up Salt River;”’ to whieh the President laughingly rejoined: ‘It is not the first time I have been up that stream.”’ When the train arrived at the Bowling Green an immense crowd Was awaiting, and amid hearty cheers and the firing of artillery, the President, from the rear platform, said: ‘My friends, » we are traveling upon a schedule of time which prevents us from doing anything more than making your acquaintance, We are very glud indeed to exchange ‘greetings with you, We believe youare here to greet us, not because you belong to same purty with us; not because you approve of ‘every measure, bat in two or three leading ideas.

The most favorable estimate of the home wheat crop which we have seoa—that of Mr. H Dains-Jackson, no inconsiderable authority — gives us barely twelve million quarters, or barely half what we require for food and stock purposes; and if the harvests‘of Europe “are, witb the exception of that of Hungary, either indifferent or inacceasable, it its evidently, a.serious problem to know whence the deficiency is to be supplied. We want it may be conceded, in round figures at least eleven million quarters of wheat between now “and. this time next year. Where is it fo be had? The United Stutes alone professes to be able to supply the whole.of the immense quantity. They claim to have « surplus of exportable grain of over twelve willion. quarters and this they will be ready to let us have ata price. Thisis merely the offieiul eatimate, it is true, and may therefore be falsified, but there can be 10 doubt that the American sur‘plus will be very large-in nearly all the-Btates of the Union exeept California. are obliged jandif the pia age eale much.hotter ‘here weewiliebe obliged to put es on the thermotuesters for mee a BA to climb, -Goodmun, weeks ago, is still confined to bis} Russian crop, though good, is likely .

Under the loose statutes of some States a few sharpers could get a charter and fleece. their wictims with a minimum risk of punishment, The cuse of one company) was instanced which was started upon a capital of $16,000, and in a little time the originators bad control of $10,000,000 nominal assets, Even where those who form the company, owning and controlling the stocks, were honest, a wrecker buys a controlling interest, then circulates stories of the company’s failure, and a pal enters proceedings in a Court of Bankruptcy. Nine-tenths of the . policy holders, believing them worthless, fail to make the next annual payment, forfeiting, of course, their policies, The other tenth re-insure in some other company believed to be sound, and the stock holders, chuckling over their suecess, divide up the milliong of assets. The Phonix Compuny represented their capital stock as $108,000. Investigation showed but $16,000 paid in, the balance being represented by stock holders’ notes; and the report of 1875 showed that these men, with-an actdal capital of only $16,000, controlled $10,000,000 worth of property. One, arranged to buy more thun half the stock. In a letter produced,. Goodman asks his cousin, Casset, for money to buy with, intimating that there were litetally millions.in it. It was shown by testis mony that the purchase was made, and Goodman had control of ~$10,000,000 -worth of usseta upon which to speculate. The speaker, havinga $10,000 policy, sent out an injunetion to prevent ‘the sale, Furber, chief wrecker, and a poor school teacher five years ago, was reputed as worth $10,000,000 at the time of the investigation,and was negotiating to purchase the Phoenix when the injunction was taken out. He also desired to buy the Charter Oak, and got Steadman, an aid, to represent it as insolvent, in order to beat down the price. After buying at $150,000, the Company was again reported solvent, and the lneky Furber came into possession of $13,000,000 worth of aswets by his finesse. Property he bought for a song was put ep to abont $6,000 as assets, to cheat fresh Vielims. _AntOutraged Visitor, “Tt is at last demonstrated that all the sanathemas which have been heaped upon the grasshoppera have really been showered upon one of tle most useful erentures that ever trod a wheat field. The Anaheim Gazette tells all about it, and puts os on the right track concerning this much abused tramp, A man rented about . . thirty acres of Los Alamos Rancho, . Santa Barbara County last year, and . sowed the land in wheat. The seed he used wasdirty, and the resalt:wap a mixed crop of barley and wheat, sprang up. The grasshoppers eame along, reviewed the situation, and started to clean out the barley, whieli they did most effectually, leaving the wheat untouched. The crop waxed strong and flourished. It has now been harvested, and averaged more than 20 bushels tothe aere of good, clean wheat.

Cordial Greeting. The President’ s party left Louisville at 8 ovlock Wednesday morning. At Elizubethtown the train made a stop, ond the President addressed the people from the platform. When Sualt River was reached Gov. Hampton, who was seated on the rear platform with the President, remarked: Well, Mr. President, we have at lust been sent up Salt River;”’ to whieh the President laughingly rejoined: ‘It is not the first time I have been up that stream.”’ When the train arrived at the Bowling Green an immense crowd Was awaiting, and amid hearty cheers and the firing of artillery, the President, from the rear platform, said: ‘My friends, » we are traveling upon a schedule of time which prevents us from doing anything more than making your acquaintance, We are very glud indeed to exchange ‘greetings with you, We believe youare here to greet us, not because you belong to same purty with us; not because you approve of ‘every measure, bat in two or three leading ideas.
