AsoTiiint Wall Stuekt Sknhatiom took
phice on Thursday of lust week, caused by the
report of a proposed settlement of accounts
between Jay Gould and tho Krie Company.
Tho suits instituted by President Watson
against Gould w ere mttiaiied by the surrender
of properly of the value of f 9,000,000, which,
by this net is uknowledged to have be-en
wrongfully taken and withheld plundered
from the company. The sensation teems to
arise from the speedy result of Pres't Vut3on's
movement in the inalter. ' Although no one
doubt-d tho perseverance tho unswerving
purpose of Watson, or tho corruption and
culpability of Guild, his coming down nt so
early a stage of tho proceeding, and the signal
succYss of the movement, seemed to take every
ono by surprise. Tho enormity of tho sum,
ton, wiis in itself, of a somewhat startling
character. It was supposed that Gould had
pluck, . having the means A craftiness could
render litigation uncertain. The grip of Mr.
Wntson however firm, and forbidding all
chanco of escape, might at least, bo drawn
tediously out, and In the end very much whit
tle down tho whole claim. Tho voluntary
proposition of turreudry, was thestnrtlingand
sensational feature of tho affair. Tho surren
dry was miido on the 20th, and the reader w ill
bo interested perhaps In running over u brief
schedule of thn assets, or securities turned
over. Tho business was transuded at the
office of the attorney of tho compnny, P, L.
VI. Barlow. .Mr. Watson was preseut through
out thu counting of the securities, and the
signing of the receipts. Gould also remained
and assisted In the work. He has surrendered
unconditionally all his real estate In New Jer
sey, Pennsylvania and Uhodo I.dund, tho
Grand Opera House, with ten or twelve adjoin,
big buildings on Tweuly-tliird and Twenty-
fourth streets, together with a valuable plot of
ground at tho foot of Twenly-lhird street,
North Iliver. IIu also promised to secure Mi a.
Lucy Fisk's interest in tho Grand Opera
House. Thu Rhode I-dund properly la sup
posed to be Ids magnificent Marino Villa on
Ihe point at Newport. Tho Nuw York title
comprehends his real estate interest em the
North Kiver shore, and the Pennsylvania
properly is said lo represent coal fields. His
absolute surrendu' of (lie Grand Opera House
property would seem to indicate that Mrs. l-'i.ik
bad been convinced of her inability to hold
her ownership. What arrangement had been
made between Gould and tho Fisk estate by
which this has been brought about Is un
known. Tho Company have agreed io settle
with Hie estate of Flak for Fink's half of tho
Opera House and $100,000 in cush. This will
leave Fink's widow with less than $100,000.
The actual legal transler of real estate, em
bracing tracts of land iu Ohio and Pennsylva
nia, may require much more time lhau the
bonds and stocks.
Tliis is, perliai s, one nf Ihe most noteworthy
transactions of the day, and will give promiu
enco to Mr. Watson's name not only in this
country, but among thn English stockholders
und capitalists of the old world.
Notwithstanding tho startling and stupen
dous nature of this transaction, it is believed
that Gould will turn the thing lo bis personal
advantage, as lit thu humiliation ol being
forced out of the presidency by (sickles, bo
may now make more money, than by holding
on. With thu 200,000 shares nf Krlo slock
held by him, and that which ho would be ena
bled to buy up on either side of Ihc water, ho
would very likely nnd himself the gainer by
his surreudry, from the atlvaneo Irr its value.
Ho haa slopped lltlgit'lou yielded to Pres't
Walton's demands, and the market for Ki le is
iv-alu buoyant and Gould U la Ihe lull
tldu of prosperliy, with every prosjicct of
a long puree? f successful tlnk-Jobbinif before
him. Besides realizing a great deal ot money,
merely by iho operation ef sun enduring prop-
riy w hich he cini'.d not keep, be hat tecurod
a large Intercut In tho road, and according to
some accounts, a voice in lit management.
lie has completed Ihe scheme upon wbleli lie
has worked so long, of consolidating an tiulu
tcmipted railway route from New York to
8an Frauclsco. Ho and Ida partners control
already the connecting Hues from I-nke Erie
to Iho Pacific, and nothing wna needed to finish
the chain but lo lay a third rail over the Krlo
Itoad, and thla can be done w ith Mr. Gould's
sui rendered securities. In a word, tho surreu
dry is another of Mr. Gould's brilliant
strokes.
The status oihe Triiiun and it editorial
relations are bcooinfng not a little mixed and
vexations. Last week the dUpalchea I u lor Hi
ed ut that Vice President; CoKax bad accepted
Iho position tended blm, of Chief f lit Edito
rial bureau, and W had hardly b0 to press,
with that tdiase of the matter, before It wat

nation of that relationship, we were told
that Mr. Colfax bad gone lo his Western home
to spend the holidays. Whitelaw Keld's re

announced, Rhlng color to Ihe Incoming of

California Letter.
COAST MOUNTAINS, Cal., Dec. 14., 1872.
I'l ieiid Kced :
Having for the last six months liclel
cotiiniuuiuii with big trees mul locks,
Ingli hills ami deep valet, I felt desirous
of lvnvino tho uoiujmtiioi.ahip of inani
mate objects, an. I auiii ",iiiiiolin.f wi,
the world." It is saiel that ' God made
the country nnd man mado iliei city."
(tod did Il'.u work well, and Iho lovers
of Naturo never tire of BtiKlviiiL? its
beauties; but like seeks like, and 1 was
desirous ot enjoying lor a time the socie
ty of man's work. H iving a few days
ol leisure I accoruingly sadelled my horse
for a trip to thu city ; instead of taking
tho Coast route which is longer but
pleasant. I resolved to make my journey
shorter and "cut across hii."' Aly
toutu lay diagonally over thes-o moun
tains. hicli i.ru not connected together
in a continuous chain, but each one seems
to have a separate existence : as a conse
qttenco travelling over ihum is necessari
ly slow and tcelio'i-'. I found myself
more than once voluntarily singing the
nursery rhyme "Now we- go up, up,
up ; and now we go d vn, down, 'down
cy." My horsu hceincd to perforin in
credible feats; at times she stood on her
ear, then, te versing her position, ahe

crossing iho K icky .Mountains, and had
Inn Amellcan liig, 1 should nke hnn
have planted it on ouu of tlitso highest
peaks.
I.ale in the afternoon ol iho first day
I brought up at thu houso of a rancher
who owns 4,000 acres of laud with
scarcely a level pliu-e on which to build
a house. Hy noon of thu next day J
had le-l'L thu mountains behind lite, and
was in the level lauds of Santa Kosa
Valley ; bounded on ono side by the
Coast .Mountains I had just left, nnd on
tho cast by the Koiiora Mountains ;
just beyond whicn Ilea Napa Valley, tho
garden ot the) blato. Ibis is a greut
fruit country. Fruit of all kinds grows
in abundance, am of tho choices', kind.
The applet nro largo and very fair, uil I
have yet lo see tho first nurly or wormy
one. ibis may bu owing to tho cure
peoplu laku of their orchards. They
cultivate them as thu Ohio laruiers do
their corn. The fruit has not that line
llavor il has with you, but il certainly
lias a belter appearance1. Ar a general
thing thu crops never tail ; to one) accus
tomed lo teeing uu occasional shower, it
is a wonder howr any thing can grow
here, during lliu dry season ; bill it, cer
tainly does, and the grain, fruit, and veg
etables surpass anything 1 ever saw in
Ohio, in tiuauLity if uouiu (jualily. Ev
erything is sold by weight, and I have
not teen an implement i( ''Dry Measure"
since I camei to California. The grain
and vegetables ure ail sacked, und iu this
way sent to market. No cellars or
warm storehouses are needed lo protect
the crops from the cold, and they are
left out, all winter, with only a covering
to protect liom thu rain. Farming is a
profitable business in thin country, bui
lliu farmers depend on nature to elo the
most of the labor. They do not work
or manure their laud as much ns the
farmers in thu States, and as a conse
quence the laud is wearing out. There
in also a great lack ofuicclarm buildings.
This gives to the country a "poverty tort
of look." One will find ia Ohio many
uoru lioustt, which cost more than uil
the buildings of some of thetu largest
farm.
1 lefi my horse at Fctaluinn, look the
cars tor Donahue, and from thuiice
lo the city by boat. The trip down the
bay, reminded me of tho iludsuii, al
though the scenery of the Hudson is
more grand. Here, as there, Nature has
hemmed in the buy by the grand old
mountains, but there is an abaeuco ot
those splendid residences, and other
works ot art, which gives to the Hudson
its uir ot enchantment. We pass on our
left the month ot the Napa and Kscre
inento rivers, near which is situated Val
ley o, a city ot considerable magnitude
and importance ; also Maio Island, on
which is the Navy Yard. To-our riabl
we leave tho towns of SSan ltuf.el. and
San Qticutiu. At the latter place, pub
lic buddings are erectetl where unruly
Culifoi'iiiuns enu work tor the beuebt of
the Slate, These California towns have
Spanish uoir.es, and in most of them the
au " iiiteiomiiiaies; tue pronunciation
fiert is far different trout the school boy
pronunciation ot Hie Males.
Aside trout the plaoe meuuouea mere
is nothing to attract the attention of the
traveller down the bat, unless lie is seri
ously minded and finds in these grand
old mountain and rocky islands Hi sub
jects for ihoujrht atid meditation. .
V lieu on- my way back, 1 bad ttio
pleasure of meeting on the boat,- Eng
land's celebrated writer Anthony Trol
loptv He, no doubt thinking 1 was a
native her; tiled imu with questions,
concerning the curiosities, climate, soil,
Ao., of this State, lie bad jmst landed
inn Australia, and after doing Califor
nia, be and his wgoool wife," were going
easf, nnd from thence to "Merry Ensr
Innd." In approaching San Freneisco by wo
trr, one can form an idea Ot its commer
cial importance. Ships from all nations
are discharging their cargoes at the
wharves, while others are anchored in
the bay waiting for dockage room. Fer
ry boatt are plying between the city and
points of interest on the bay; while
steamers and sail vessels are constantly
arriving nnd departing, from and lo
places on the rivers and coast. Once in
the city I found the same busy place of
six months ngo. There was the hurrying
to and fro of pedestrians, all on business,
no one knew what; the click, clack, ot
wngons, the jingle of street cars, min
gled w ith an occasional oath of tho driv
er ns lie gets into a blockade; commo
tion and confusion this is San Fran
cisco. I was in the city on Sunday, nnd hnJ
not known tho d.ty of lliu week, I should
have thought it a "gala day," instead of
the Sabbath. Excursion parties were
leaving the cily ; bands of inuaio were
playing, nnd places of amusement were
open w ith unusual attractions to "draw
the crowd." I voluntarily followed un
til I found myself at "Woodard's Gar
dens." This man Woodard, ia the 'Bar
nuni of the l'aoifio Coast." He has
quite extensive grounds well laid out in
walks, leading to cozy arbors, with rustic
seals, and interspersed w illi the choicest
shrubs and most beautiful flowers. There
are tropical fruits and plants ot every
description, dates, oranges ami lemons
growing in profusion. Here are a choice
cfolleclion of curiosities from all parts ot
the worhl ; also many species ot the ani
mal kingdom ; all making a museum and
menagerie ot no small dimensions. Iu
the audience room were seated some
5,000 persons to see a burly African
I'drink hot alchohol, and handle red hot
iron and cannon balls." The Negro did
his part well, and the contact of tho hot
iron with his feet and hands, gave to
tho room very much the smell of a
blacksmith shop when searing a
horse's hojf. A fair damsel danced the
"Highland Fling," and an "Irish Jig,"
nnd the programme was ended. Thus I spent
the Sabbath ; but I was in " . Home und I did
as the Unmans did." Still there are many
church going people iu San Francisco, but
uiero uro very lew churches. The Jewish
Synagogue Is a building of vast proportions;
so are some of the Catholic churches; but the
orthodox ones arc few and small.
Ihe following Tuesday was election day,
and the city was very quiet, polling only a
little over half its registered votes, lii the eve
ning hundreds gathered around the newspaper
offices, anxious I'm returns. The Chronicle ex
hibited n transparency, and as the various tel
egrams were received, they were reproduced
on car.v.iss by tins gleam of calcium lights.
During thu interval between dispatches, comic
and patriotic pictures were shown, thus keep
ing up ute miriii ana interest ot the crowd;
built was poor reading for Iho Democrats, und
at midnight I retired, hoping that the morrow
wouiu urmg news more consoling; bul the
morrow's news buried us deepi r and deeper
with defeat, and I said. Difcited but not con
quered. Tho city was too much agitated wilb,
lis own ntl'.drs, to be excited over ihe election.
Two noted formers had lust escaped from lis
Jail, through the treachery of olllcers, and a
rewiru oi $ t ,uu wus ollereet tor their recapture
also vast frauds were being unearthed in Ihe
Harbor Department. When I found llial Iheso
olllcers and office holders were nil Republicans
acting under Republican instructions, 1 thought
to myself "There must be some mistake iu this,
Ed, you have been led to believe lhat ONLY
Democrats are corrupt," bul with a sober sec
ond thought, 1 knew you could not circum
scribe men's morality by pnrtv lines.
I met Meut. E. B. Hubbard and spent the
part of two days very pleasantly with him.
His brigade were under marching orders for
the cast, and lie left the Pacific coast with
many regrets ; ho expects lo spend next 4th, of
July with friends in Ashtabula. I envn-d him
his anticipations; and while he was hurried
on toward sunrise, 1 wus jogging up to my
mountain home.
The middle of Di'ccmber, snd such glorious
weather! I can Imagine you in Ashtabula
are shivering with thu cold. Perhaps to-day
It is cold and blustering, and the snow is being
drlveu i.i great drills before your doors; or the
ground may bo covered with snow which,
squeaking under your sleigh runners, shows
thai the air is keen aud frosty, and aa the cus
tomers at your stores come iu, muflled iu great
coats and w arm clothing, they exclaim as they
draw near the lire, ' It is very cold." Here il
Is very dill'erent. I have not seen a flake of
snow since I left tho Sierra Nevada mouulains,
last May. We have had only tour rainy daya,
the sun shines each day, und the air is clear
and warm ; tho doors o' our houses are open
and we have no flies during the day ; uieu
work w ith their coats and jackets off, and they
huve to atop occasionally to wipe the sweat
from their brows ; the grass is green, flowers
are in blossom, and farm. rs. are busy sowing
their oals; everything looks to roe lika au
Ohio spring; I cannot realize this to be win
ter. But w inter brings to you rest, for nature
as well as man ; it la ihe season In which you
give way lo enjoyment. Here we can and
must work all the year round ; as for enjoyment,
the inhabitants of these mountains amuse
themselves Iheso long evenings with four pegs,
a little board full of holes, and Ally-two oblong
paste-board cards upon which are curicua
