the WANDERINGS IN THE FAR WEST. DAILY PLAIN DEALER W. W. ARMSTRONG, Editor and gone largely into the sheep business. He has reserved a thousand acres for humsolf.
Near his house were gathered a large flock of sheep and one of goata. No yard to keep them, but there they lay huddled together, the line separating the sheep from the goats as distinctly marked as the one we read of, but the lambs and roamed among the mothers of the flocks and helped themselves at will, indiscriminately. It is hard to sec where the profit is with these goats for they are of the common kind. Their skins and meat and milk are all that can be turned to account, but here and elsewhere in Southern California they are crossing on the Angora goat, and before many years the country will be able to produce its own Angora wool cheap enough. Assuming the role of a veterinary surgeon successfully, the team was brought out all right in the morning, and we went on our way rejoicing that this anxiety was over.
Here we learned that the stage was robbed of the express the day before on the road we were to pass over the next day. But as the passengers were not molested we felt little anxiety about ourselves. These express robberies are not all confined to this side of the mountains, and do not take place twice in the same localty. Only one thousand dollars was got in this case, and strong efforts are being made to secure the robbers, and it will be strange if the reward -seven hundred and fifty dollars-does not bring them. It is a little remarkable how successful the detection of crime is in a country so sparsely settled as this is.
We continue our course, mounting higher and higher, continually intersecting fruitful valleys until We reach Julian, four thousand five hundred feet above tide. Julian is the center of the the gold mines of the country. These mines are producing little at present, although they have yielded considerable surface paying quartz, they have never been systematically mined. I descended two hundred and sixty feet into one shaft and found the quartz lode about one foot thick, crossing one side of the shaft. I could see gold enough to show that it was "gold bearing quartz," but could form no estimate of its value.
No doubt gold is there, but it may cost more than.it is worth to get it out. From Julian we take an excursion of tain, which the day before was in the some five miles to the top of Vulcan moun clouds. Here we found good sized trees, of oak and cedar, loaded with crystals of ico. On one side of every twig was a fringe of ice an inch thick, and the warin sun was bringing this down in a crystal mass under the trees. In a few places We found snow where it had drifted, and was sheltered from the sun.
This was the first day of March, and the first snow of the season we had seen, and this was more than five thousand fect above the sea. thinking of excessive winter you have had, how forcibly we were reminded of the contrast! We returned to San Diego, as I said, by a different route, continually changing our scenes from mountain outlook and deep gorges to sheltered wooded valleys, broad, prairie-like plains and grassy slopes and grain capped hills. I had intended in this to give you some idea of the bee culture and agricultural industry, but I have gossiped away my time and paper, and must defer it. To-morrow we start northward on our meandering way through the state by horse and varriage, and if 1 do not keep myself too busy in gathering to pay out you may hear from me nest at Los Angeles. J.

Thus another celebrity of the capital passes away. WE. never thought of ANDY JOHNSON a9 a good looking man; probably, one reason, because he has been so much the butt of caricature. But the correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial says: "'Ile is rather graceful man in his movements and 1 features, and dresses with great and neatness.

They have been seized with a spasin of virtue. They are urging Genoral James Barnett for the mayoralty of that city as an independent man whom is nothing like throwing the Republicans "'men I all parties can support." There into a minority to make then virtuous. In order to keep them virtuous we must keep them in a minority.
But couldn't they have found a showman in Cleveland to appeal to all Enquirer. The Republicans Lave no showman they can run for mayor that we know of. They have an editor. or two who can ride two horses at once; but no boss showman. The Enquirer speaks is truly when it says "there is nothing like throwing the Republicans into a minority to make them virtuous;" that's the reason we have put them in 8 minority up here--and we are going to keep them there.

REFIBERG, The Twins, Winter and Into the Interior Mile Farms-How Ranches Are Managed -Captain JohnsonA Duel With Shot Guns at a Station--The Santa Marca RanchCrossing Sheep With Gouts -Express to: San Robberies--The Diego. Gold Centre1 From Our Own Correspondent. SANDIEGO, March 15, 1876. EDITORS PLAIN DEALER: After a winter spent in this country we find spring fairly initiated without any apparent change in the weather at least. This middle day of March is about the coldest and most windy We have seen since last November, and yet no clouds obscure tho genial sun, neither does the dust penetrate every crack and after a month of cloudless days as crevice, a in Cleveland.
Sinco writing my last I have penetrated some sixty miles into the interior, in fact to the summit of the Cost Range of mountains, the divide between the Colorado and the ocean. Having gone by one route and returned by another, this trip furnishes a basis for a description of the western half of the county of San Diego--the Pacific slope. Some eight miles of our route was along the bay of SanDiego and False Bay, crossing by the way the SanDiego river where the eighty thousand dollars just appropriated by Congress is to be expended in turning the river and its deposits from where it will do the most harm to where it will do the most good, a much needed improvement. strike into a narrow 'valley between high hills, now bright and green with alfiera or pin grass, the almost universal feed of the country, evergreen oaks, sumac, elders, etc. Up this valley to the top of the coast table lands and down another, we enter the valley of the Solidad river, and the "'Panisquites ranch," a farm through which we pass for the next twelve miles.
To the average Ohio farmer, whose entire possessions woodland and clearing, seldom exceed more than a half mile, these twelve mile farms must look a little excessive, especially when we consider that every acre yields its annual crop. Here is land enough for a hundred farms with only one or two meagre human dwellings upon it. These large farms are mostly employed as stock raising where very little constant help is required. There 14 no gathering in of hay or feed during one season to bridge over the next. In the case of sheep, one man with his dog will look after two or three thousand.
For the most part they are yarded every night A very meagie fence is required to keep thern in and yards aro located at convenient points over the ranche, and the shelter for the shepherd is small tent, which is moved yard to yard. Here a yard is called a corral and a farm a ranch. These ranches are in general old Spanish or Mexican grants. In some cases they are still in the hands of the old families. In some they have been divided or sold to smart Americans, and in others early American adventurers married into the old family and by their shrewdness have absorbed the whole erty.
This ranclic of Panasquites is now owned by Captain Johnson, an American gentleman of enterp: ise, his wife being the daughter of the old prospector. He has a residence near the middle of the ranch, consisting of the old adobe castle, with walls two fect thick and one story high, and numerous wings added 28 necessity demands. Little of the Captain's time is spent upon the ranche, its management being intrusted to a superintendent. Ilia stock consists mainly of horses and cattle, Both of which is rapidly changing from the native to improved breeds, and -has now several very good stock horses. To give an idea of the extent of this stock business I will merely say that he will have eight hundred calves to brand this spring.
Although he has a large quantity of tillable land very stock little feed. of it is cultivated to anything but There are few public houses through this section of the country, but hospitality is a feature of the country, and four of us, with our team, Were very handsomely entertained over night at the Captain's house, and were deprived of tho satisfaction of making pecuniary compensation. We follow up this valley to divide and immediately drop into anothor, the Power, broad and productive, and well cultivated in farms of a reasonable size. Here an incident took place a few days ago, illustrative of a feature in country society here, now fast passing away: They have very few fences here, but they have lately adopted a fence law, by which every man is required to keep his stock off his neighbors lands, and the old settlers, who have been accustomed to let their stock run at large, do not in all cases submit readily to the new order of things. In this valley one neighbor, with more stock than lands, suffers his stock to trespass upon another's premises.
This last thinks it easierto warn the stock than hunt up an owner, so he tries the virtue of powder and shot, one or two repetitions of this brings the lord of the herd to the front. Augry words ensue, and the believer in gunpowder hav: ing tried its virtue upon mustangs tries it upon their master. The aim is a little high and the shot, and by the help of an old slouched hat the intended victim escapes loss of an eye-the right one and his scalp. a week of doubt the "Greaser" is on his feet again and learning to shoot lefteyed. Judging from the comments of the community they would have been better pleased if the game had come down that the shootest might "go up," for both arc considered hard cases and of 3 class that is passing away.
But be patient: you will doubtless be gratified when the left eye hecomes suficiently educated. Our route has now brought us to where the "divides" have attained a greater clevation, and have become more broken and rocky, and springs occasionally bubble out from the rocky crevices. Passing from the Poway Valley wo take the "divide" more up among the hills, with outlooks more grand and varied. Coming to the stage station, we stop for dinner, and are served with a very good meal. The occupant is soldier of the Arts war, who has located his warrant here upon a romantic spot.
A large spring of sweet water pours out from among the rocks high aboye in his quantity lands suf. best suited cultivation, and ficient for irrigation. Above the spring rises a ledge of granite rock, massive and grand, which reminds me strikingly of an artificial ledge upon which the Duke of Devonshire has spent many thousands in his grounds at Chatsworth, but oh! how short has the noble duke, with his pounds sterling, came off this simple wild freak of nature in this far away mountain vale. Around the spring is a beautiful grove of large beneath which the ground is carpeted the feathery blades of the ever celtiorea. The soldier proprietor, having served three years in the army, has only to sojourn on his location, when he will become the sole proprietor of a delightful retreat.
Ile is stocking it with bees and fruit. He came from Chicago. The contrast between the two ject is permitted to emigrate. its that very warm a climate, whence no subplaces is as great as heaven and chief roams about the castle as commissioner of emigration. But we must not tarry too much by the way.
In a few miles we drop into a broad, fertile plain -the Santa Barca ranch. In the midst of this ranche a horse falls sick, and we are only able to walk our team, and to make our situation more interesting darkness on apace," and we ourselves strangers in a strange land with little to inclicate our course. At length we reach the Old Ranch house, occupied by the the old old hovel will allow him to.

He thought there would be 8 number of unhappy revelations, which Beecher and himself did 'not desire. He expressed unwillingness to testify on this and other occasions. I do not remember him saying anything about shielding his family. Tilton. spoke about documents and.
papers. He said he was well aware that he was a discredited rested in writing. We said we would like in the community," but his case to see the papers. This conversation I think was not taken down, but the stenographer may have done so. I next saw Tilton on the 13th and think he referred to Mrs Tilton's testimony on the 6th, and gave that as one of the reasons why the investigation should be ended.
He had the report which he wished the committee to adopt exonerating himself and Beecher. On the 23d of July Tilton brought a bundle of papers to the committee, and began to read something which some member of the committee thought was not pertinent. We expressed a desire to examine the papers, and I was to be allowed to do 80. Tracy was there, and Tilton said to him that he had no right to appear against him, as he had his promise not to do so, and Tracy replied that he notified Tilton that he could not keep big promise if he changed his ground. Tilton said that made no difference.
Tiltou did not say to Tracy Yoware prevaricating." Tracy did not say lie was appearing against Hill and Tracy were lawyers on behalf of the committee and examined witnesses. It understood that their services were voluntary and that they should receive no fees. I knew nothing of the West charges. They were not disclosed before the committee. Mrs.
Bradshaw or Mrs. Moulton were not before the committee, nor was Bowen. Re-direct suppose the lawyers received the thanks of Plymouth Church for their services. Tilton never furnished us with the letters he the promised. Griffith The committee never saw Gaunt letter.
I wanted to see it very much. The mistake in the Beecher testimony arose from his calling for documents ho saw in Tilton's possession. The true story, read when Beecher appeared before the committee he read from a paper which was never in my hands. The statement was partly written and partly oral on occasion of a conversation between Tracy and Tilton. The former asserted the charge was only improper proposals and the latter did not deny it.
Re-cross examination: There was a a a a a a a a a a statement of Tilton's which was frequently referred before the committee as the "True Story." There was not anything else referred to by the committee as the "story." When Bessie Turner was put on the stand the questions were put to her very fast, but not faster than she could answer. The witness here left the stand, and Thomas James Turner was culled. He said: am reside at Peekskill and am in Mr. Beecher's employ, taking care of his farm; in the summer of 1873 the persons employed on the farm were his son, Nicholas Sullivan and others. On Monday, June 2d, 1873, 1 Mr.
Beecher WAS at his farm. le arrived there at 3:48 on the train leaving the Forty-second street depot at two o'clock. Mrs. Beecher was with him. They stayed there until the next afternoon.
I sent to the train for him, being advised of his coming by telegram. He left for New York the following day. He came there on the 16th of June. Cross-examined-I -I knew the time the train left New York by a telegram; I have not got it, but I have a copy of it. I had not been in New York since the January previous.
Until I saw a copy of the telegram with Mr. Hill I had not remembered the date of Mr. Beecher's coming. I have a memorandum of the fifty cents I paid for carrying the telegram to the farm June 2d. I have not the memorandum book with me.
I also examined the butcher's books, for I got meat for them when they were there. It was on Monday when Beecher came to Peckskill ou that occasion. It was on Monday the, 20th of May, that Beecher came there before that. The farm is twenty there for Mr. Beecher and his wife.
Mr. minutes drive from the station, and I a drove Beecher sometimes cones in' the morning and at other times in the evening to the farm. He left for New York the following day, Tuesday. Redirect-examination--There was only one horse at the farm on that occasion which Mr. Beecher kept for his son.
My son went after the baggage for Beecher. Beecher was up at my wife's funcral on the 24th of May. 3 My son began to work for wages June and his going down to the depot for baggage was the first work he done. All my charges are entered on the memorandum book on Saturday's, and among them entered on that day was a charge for a telegram. Recross-examination--My Joseph had gone several times to the railway station before he began to work for wages.
At this point recess was taken. After recess Joseph E. Turner WAS called. He testified: reside at Peekskill and am son of the last witness called. I am living witl.
my father. I was attending the horses in the employ of Beecher in June, 1813. I went in the afternoon to meet Beecher on June 2d, 1873, at the twelve minutes to four train. I met Dir. Drs.
Beecher at the depot at Peekskill and drove them to the house. Beecher left in the afternoon of Tuesday. I drove him down after diner to either the fifteen minutes to three train or twenty minutes after four. My mother died on the 22d of May, and Beecher attended the funeral on the 24th. Beecher returned to New York 'and CAINe back on the 26th of May.
After June 3d I did not see Beecher until June 16th. Thomas Rochefort testified: I am receiver of the Western Union Telegraph Company, and was at Peekskill on the 2d June, 1873. I remember receiving the dispatch from Beecher on that day. a This is the entry of the message in the book. The messages are sometimes not dated, but we are enabled.
to fix the date by the book. Ben Kittridge, formerly of Cincinnati, testitied: Reside at Peekskill, and live about three hundred feet from Beecher's residence, The ordinary method of going to Beecher's house is past mine. lave known Beccher for ten years. He was at his farm on- the 2d of June, 1873. "I am a farmer and come to New York about three time a week.

Beecher, I do not think, could have come on that train with me. lisaw him the next day also. I fix the day because I wished to see him about some little business, and because he had moved up for t'ie summer. I recollect being disap.

I noticed he did not seem 10 be arrayed for the occasion, and was not dressed for a Stephen I. was the next witness. Ile testitied: I resided in Brooklyn about three years, and am a member of Plymouth Church. I at11 a stock operator in New York, and am a member of the legal profession and practiced in Missouri. I was member of the investigating committee, but was not present on July 6th, when Mrs.
Tilton testified. I was present when Tilton did, July 16th. He said his case depended on written documents under Beccher's own signature. Tracy said there might be question about what the papers would show, and that the committee could judge wheu they saw them. He also Said if the charge against Beecher was criminality, the document shown to him could not support the charge, when Tilton said to us, "Gentlemen, you think there is no case, but that there Was and that Beecher, said to him he intended to put forward these -papers to let him know that he might -leave the Tilton's manner was highly suggestive as meaning that the story should come out.
He said the committco was too large. Tracy said ho would bring forward the papers and let the committee judge. He felt sorry for Beecher, he said, and for his gray hairs. There were no suggestions of any confessions having been made at any time. Ile said that his letter to Dr.
Bacon had been called for by the attitude of Plymouth Church and Mr. Beecher, and that if all were published it would tend to show that Beecher was tire creature of his magnanimity and not rice versa. lIe said he I had taken pains in the Bacon letter not to characterize the charge. He also said: "Gentlemen, you not. want it, neither do and he did not want any further investigation, and deprecated it as unwise and uncalled for, He read Beecher' letter calling for the committee, He saldi "Gentlemen, jou do not want them' (referring to the documents), and after reading this letter he said he would think about it.
I saw his card afterwards in some paper saying he would present no letters with his sworn statement. I Wag present at the conversation between Tracy and Tilton. I asked Tilton before this if he had not told Blanchard, of Illinois, that the did was a mot bad like man Henry and Ward preached Beecher; to some that of his mistresses every Sunday. He did not deny it, but said' he did not ask him to publish it in his paper. He said afterwards that we did not want to find out the whole facts of the case.
Tilton then false; that the charge he (Tilton) made charged Tracy with being guilty of unprofessional conduct, a and Tracy said it was against Beecher was improper proposals, and that when he changed his ground he (Tracy) did not consider the contract binding. Tilton said he would see about this. This occurred at 34 Monroe Place, in buck room. There was a further interview between tho parties in the front parlor. Tilton came in, threw his arms around Tracy and said, I think: "'T take back what I said," and he said something about him being the only man he.
liked in Brooklyn. I was present when he brought the letters, and he took them away with him. Tilton read one by Mrs. Tilton about the enormity of her offence or sin. It was finally agreed that Winslow should examine the letters.
Cross -Winslow was present when Tilton came before us the first time, and refused to make a statement. Horace B. Claflin then took the stand. He testified: I reside in Brooklyn and have lived there about thirty years. I am a dry goods merchant in New York, and before that was in the same business in Beecher ever since he camo here, and am Worcester, Mass.
I know lienry Ward a know member Theodore of his Tilton 8 congregation. little over I half that tirne. I have known Henry C. Bowen about thirty years. lu the spriug of 1872 I was present at Doulton's house when the arbitration was talked over between Bowen and Tilton.
There were present Wilkeson, Moulton, Tilton, and myself. Vilkegon had a press proof of the Golden Age with him--the same paper, a portion of which was incorporated in the Tripartite Agreement. Wilkeson had a draft of the a "Tripartite which wag read and talked over night. I had not: then seen Tho conversation was about the publication of these statements threatened by Tilton in the Golden Age, unless Bowen settled for contracts due him in the Brooklyn Union and Independent. Tilton there was due him $7,000, $8,000 or $9,000.
Tilton said he would publish the article in the next paper unless he had a settlement. The money WAS his due and he would have it. I told him there was no use for such publication. It could do no good, and that Bowen would pay I promised to intercede for him with Bowen, and told him an arbitration had been talked over, into which Bowen was willing to enter. Isaid I thought this statement should not be lished, as it was a great scandal.
Tilton said he would publish it notwithstanding. This interview broke up about ten o'clock. I saw Bowen a day or two after this. Before parting that night we were to meet again on Tuesday night, I think. I saw Bowen the next day.
When I went there I had a press proof and showed it to him. I interceded for Tilton, and we met again Tuesday night, the same parties present. The paper Wilkeson had of the "Agreement" was read over and discussed. Tilton said it was satisfactory to him, and he wanted to sign it but I withheld him until Bowes should sign it. We talked about two hours over it and I said I thought Bowen would come to the arbitration.
Tilton differed with me about that. When I took the paper to Bowen I was to tell him he ought to sign it like a Christian man, and also that the quarrel was gotton up by the! newspapers. I said to Moulton aud Tilton that I thought the publication would injure Bowen and his papers. I saw Bowen that night and returned to Moulton's. I said Bowen did not object to sign the paper, and wanted to read it and think it over.
I said to them I thought Bowen would sign the paper. Either Wilkeson or Tilton said I made a great mistake in not having it signed, and that I should not have left it with Charles Storrs was proposed as one of the arbitrators; James: Freeland was also to be one. The time of the meeting of the arbitrators was arranged upon that night. It was to be in Moulton's study. The court then adjourned.

NEW YORK, March the crowd around the Brooklyn city court room today is any indication, the interest in the great scandel trial is on the increase. Mr. Beecher and wife and youngest son, and Dr. Edward Beecher were present and seated in front of the Plymoth church delegation, Mrs. Til and the women who usually accompanied her were absent, but their p'aces were occupied by other women.
David Dows, a produce merchant, was the first witness called and in answer 10 a question put by Mr. Evarts, answered Lessie Turner lived in my family. She came in the spring and left in the summer, but I do not recollect the year nor have I any memorandum of the dates. My family with the others went on a trip to Omaha that spring, we left on the 31st of May and returned on the 12th of June. 'This concluded his direct examination, and the prosecution had no questions to ask him.
John Winslow was next called. stated: I am a practising lawyer and have been for twenty-tive years. I was formerly district attorney for Kings county. I was a member of the investigating committee of the Plymouth Church meeting at Mr. Storrs' house.
Mrs. Tilton was before the committee on the sixth of July at Mr. Ovington's. The committee were there about live or six minutes before the examination began. Mr.
Tracy accompanied 119 there, and was only absent two or three minutes. Mr. Tilton was before the committee on the 10th of July. He said that there should not be any investigation, and asked if Mr. Beecher wanted one, and he was assured that Mr.
Beecher did. Mr. Cleveland showed him Mr. Beecher's letter calling for it. Tilion said his case was in writing.
He never stated as to whether Beecher had made any confession verbal or otherwise to him. lie saw Beccher's letter and read it very carefully on the 13th of July. The day Tilton publiched his card we had an interview; I met him on the street and told him had read his letter. He said he would like to talk with me, and that this investigation was all wrong and ought not to be: He wanted the committee to adopt the report he had drawn, indeed, he. had drawn two or three reports.
told him I lid not want 10 hear anything except the testimony before the committee. He wanted me not to oppose it aud asked me to do his statement justice. I Was present when his sworn statement was read, and at cross-examination. I WAS also present when Mr. Tilton attacked Mr.
Tracy and heard what he said. There had been no regular session that afternoon when Mr. Tilton said to Mr. Tracy: "You have no right to be here in collasion with me after the promise you made." Tracy said yes, but when I saw you change your ground I did not consider my promise binding, Tracy went into the front parlor, and Tilton followed. lie said, "Tracy, I forgive you; I like you better than any man in Brooklyn." lie put his arm around the nock of Tracy, who said something about forgiveness: Tilton said, "There is one difference between us.
Tracy--I always forgive, but you never do." 1 cannot say whether the stenographer took notes of it. I have never seen this statement since that night, and never saw the stenographer write out his notes of it. Mr. Sage was chairman of that committee. We turned over all the evidence after it was written out to the examining commit tee of the church.
Some one of that committee took charge of it. I do not know who it was, though my impression is that Mr. Cleveland took it. I did not ace the evidence taken before the committee until it wag printed. Cross examination: -The first meeting of the committec when testimony WA8 taken was on the 6th of July.
Mr. Ellenwood was present at all the meetings afterwards. I took the testimony. Mrs. Tilton made two statements before the committee.
They were both verbal statements; the first was made on the 6th of July; I never saw it in print. Beecher made written statements, the first on the 16th of July, before the committee: they were all prescut. The statement on that occasion was not left with the committee; the substance of it only was published. I did not superintend the printing of it. nor had I anything to do with it.
I did not get Beecher's statement printed. I signed the report of the cominittee. The last time I saw the original it was in Mr. Raymond's hands. I made a draft of the report.
I drew a portion of the report with regard to Beecher's evidence, and I know there is a'small error which had crept in there. Mr. Hall drew my attention to it a few days ago. My recollection is that Mr. saw or which Tilton read before the committee, but my impression is that he used the word "Story' and not "True Story." I must have had the impression that he used the term True Story" when I drafted the The report was read over and discussed; all the members were present and was done in my oflice in New York two days before it was presented.
I Was present. It was read in church; all the members had agreed with it. Tracy was not present on Ecasion when it was read or Tiltou came before the committee on July 10th, He said he did not think it best DRS. BONAPARTE CO. PRIVATE DISEASES AND Woaknessos.
