THURSDAY, NOV. 20, 187.'?. The DAILY HERALD has nearly DOUBLE the Circu lation of either contempo rary paper published in Los Angeles. As an advertising medium it is consequently of DOUBLE their value. The Meeting of the Fair Associa tion. A very stormy session'took place yesterday. Mr. Rose, Thomas Mott, Mr. Ferguson and one or two others, were strong in their criticisms of the Herald, for its publications of late. These gentlemen, finding the Herald to be fearless and outspoken, when in the right, expressed their serious dis approbation, and were very indignant. A little tempest in a little tea pot was the result. They did very little business, but a great deal discussing—no insinuation meant by the termination: and finally passed the very resolution that tho Herald and all true friends of the society are desirous of having carried out. They offered the 240 remaining shares of m ock to the farmers, at the same price that the original share holders obtained stock, and requested the discontented to come forward and subscribe. Thus no interest is chagred for the time the association has been running. If guarantees are made that the Fair will not relapse into its present ruts, that it will here after represent the interests of the far mers as well as the racers, this stock need not remain unsold one month. But no agriculturist can be enticed into the association unless guarantees are made. If, as Mr. Rose very sensibly propos ed, the $2,000 appropriation be given to the agricultural department, and this be divided into 70 premiums, in the following manner: 10 prizes of $100; 10 of $50; 10 of $25; 10 of $10; 30 of $5, this would make a large and varied list of premiums. It would induce a great number of exhibitors; and then our contemporary would not be obliged to say that "every exhibitor, except four obtained prizes," and the prizes would be of more value than $880. A person exhibiting thinks lit tle of a prize won without competition. 'Its like At etui us Ward's company in which all but one were Brigadiers. Thomas Mott and E. W. Noyes, one the time-keeper, the other pool seller at the race course, think the Fair has been a success, and don't like the position the Herald has taken. They think and say it injures their business, and they can not support a paper which will not support them. They have stopped the Herald—no, their copies of the Herald. There were given as prizes to tiie races $3,700, as far as we can judge fn.m the published accounts in the morning paper; to all other depart ments $880, exclusive of the medals. Will the advocates of the present management note the figures? Boss Tweed got four years. His initials are B. T. aud he ought to have forty instead of four.—[Musical Editor Herald. LETTER FROM WILMINGTON. Wilmington, Nov. 18, 1873. Editor Herald.—Last Saturday, an elderly man living in Compton, whom we will call John Jones, was arraigned before Justice Stratton, in Wilmington, and tried for obtaining money under false pretenses. His son had sold beef cattle to Mr. H. of this place, for which he was to be paid 5240. As soon as the father heard of the sale, he went to Mr. H. and collected the money, stating that his son had au thorized him to do so. Two days after this, the son also went to Mr. H. and demanded the money, stating that he had not authorized his father to collect it, and that as Mr. H. had paid the wrong man, he must pay the money a second time, and to the right man. Upon this, the anger of Mr. H. was rightly kindled. He immediately sued old John Jones for the money, and at the same time had him arrested for obtaining money under false pre tenses. Both parties being wealthy and of high standing, the trial on Sat urday drew together a great crowd of people. Frank Cowden, Esq., of Wilming ton, conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Sandford of Los Angeles, the de fence. The contest between them was exciting, and consumed most of the day. The defense clearly proved that the father was the real owner of the cattle, and that the son had sold them without his knowledge or consent. Mr. Jones was therefore acquitted, and his character vindicated. The first rain fall of the season com menced at 3 o'clock this morning, ac companied with thunder and light ning. It continued raining hard till afternoon, nor is it entirely over yet, for the clouds look black and threat ning. Should the weather continue warm, grass will soon cover the ground, and cattle and sheep will have abundant pasture. Everybody pre dicts a wet winter and a prosperous year. Our citizens are all gratified in knowing that General Banning lias established a new lumber yard in Wil mington, and in selling lumber at considerably lens than those in Los Angeles. When his new wharf shall be completed, vessels will be able to discharge their cargoes directly upon it, and save the heavy lighterage which all are now compelled to pay. 39/1 ISnoiYnWI The Washington Territory Legisla ture has passed an act to aid the con struction of a bridge across the N is qually river.

New York, Nov. 19.—The jury In the Tweed case this morning t'ound a verdict of guilty on all the counts. The defence takes no exception to the verdict, except a general verdict on all the counts. The jury Merc dis charged. Counsel for defense are en deavoring to obtain an arrest of judg ment on the ground of want of juris diction of the Court. Owing to the statement contained in a letter from Havana ou the night of the 7th inst., when the news of the Virginius reached Santiago, the Span ish volunteers, in fiendish exultation over their triumph, visited the widows of Masons shot in 1868, and brutally outraged the helpless women; in the struggle four were killed, seven have since died, and several are in such a dangerous condition that they cannot recover. A petition is circu lated in this city, and is being signed generally by the Masters of Masonic Lodges in New York, and Past Mas ters of Lodges, calling for a session of the Grand Lodge of the State, to take such action as may he deemed neces sary. Tweed was sentenced to four years imprisonment, and a fine of $4,000. WABHINCTON. Washington, Nov. 19.—The Ad ministration is understood to hold that the Virginius is a QOftM belli with Spain, even admitting that she was carrying succor to the Cubans because Spain has never recognized a state of war in Cuba. When Spanish gun boats were seized in New York, in 1809, Spain argued that Cubans were not recognized as belligerents, and the sale of armed vessels to Spain was legitimate. They state that the Department accepted this view, and the gunboats were released. Under the same principle we have a right to sell guns to Cubans, and ship them on American vessels. The President commenced writing his annual message to-day, and has not received any visitors except Secre tary Fish, who had a long interview with him. Mrs E. M.

Progressing Nhiuiucnt of Treasure Centennial .Has* Meet lutS Stocks, etc. San Francisco, Nov. 19. There were further and worse de velopments in the trial of Harris, first mate of the Sunrise, this afternoon. Richard Sides, one of the sailors, swore that on the day Condiff went overboard, Harris told him to coil some rope. Condiff could not go to work, he was so sore from beatings Harris had given him. Harris told him to go forward. He did so, and Harris went witlt him. Harris soon returned and said " there is one gone, anyway." Condiff was overboard. Captain Clarke sung out if he was afloat, and Harris answered, no. The ship was not stopped and no effort was made to sa%e the man. For three days previous to his death, Condiff had been kept in the hog pen with a lot of hogs. Sides said the mate made the blood fly from one side of the ship to the other till they got used to it, and hardly gave it notice. The trial is still pending. Tiie shipment of treasure by the steamer Nevada to Panama, to-day, amounted to $87,890. Tho State Centennial Committee will call a mass meeting Saturday evening, which will be addressed by ox-Governor Pollock, of Pennsylvania.

ANOTHER OPINION. Editor Herald.—l overheard an eastern visitor remark at the "Ska ting Rink," during the show last week, "How about the grape and wine interest?" I have heard that Los Angeles was noted for its grapes and wine." Perhaps the President of the Society can throw some light on this subject, he is one of the largest grape and wine producers in the county. Query: Why does not the President of the Society manifest enough interest in agriculture to make an exhibit of our resources in that line? Last year, in his annual address, he " swore by the grape." This year in his annual address;—but by the way, who has had the pleasure of listening to the annual address, or any other address, during the fair? Perhaps in the hurry and hustle at the race track it was overlooked or forgotten; and as it is "never too late to do good," it would be interesting to have it published yet. Some of us would like to know what he swears by this year; it would be interesting if not instruc tive. Granger. Los Angeles, Nov. 18. Hoi'Culture.—The San Francisco Bulletin estimates that at the present rate of production, there is no danger of the business of cultivating being overdone. It says: The crop of '73 was but little more than half enougli for home consump tion, leaving 46,000 bales to be im ported. The new crop is quoted in the Eastern market, at from 35 cents to 45 cents a pound, and the range is from 35 cts. to 45 cts. in this market. The few men who have gone Into hop culture on this side of the country have followed the business until they understand it, from the planting of the roots to the shipping of the bales to market, have done well. It may never become a large crop here, but it fits in well with other departments of agriculture, and the results are thus far sufficiently encouraging to stimu late an increase of the business. Experiments made in this section of the State, lead to the belief that it is specially adapted, in soil and cli mate, to successful hop culture. Pokke in Colorado.—The town of Fair play, Colorado, so named from the fair manner in which its people play poker, was enlivened not long since by a little game, whose satisfac tory result will commend it favorably to all who become entangled in like pursuits. Before the "draw," Mr. Graves held a "king full," and Mr. Walker rejoiced in three aces; but af ter that interesting ceremony, Walker exhibited four aces, and claimed the stakes, whereupon Graves drew a six shooter and reckoned his hand wan the best. Walker immediately supple mented the four aces with a bowie kidfe, and the dispute was settled to the perfect satisfaction of the outsiders. There was enough in the "pot" to pur chase two handsome coffins, and the next day both gentlemen took up per manent residences, side by side, iv 1 lie beautiful cemetery that reflects so much credit upon Falrplay. The Walla Walla Real Estate Re cord says: "Many of the farmers with whom we have conversed put the average yield of wheat this side of the Cascades at forty bushels per acre. The surplus wheat crop for this year in this valley, as near as we can deter mine, is from 800,000 to 1,000,000 bushels. Of oats, rye and barley, of which there was a large crop, we can form no estimate, either as to the amount raised per acre or of the sur plus. In Stevens and Whitman coun ties tiie average per acre is about the same as this district. Their surplus is about 150,000 bushels, which will have to be held until another season, as they have no market." PACIFIC COAST NEWS.

Two murder cases against white men, und nine against Scar-Faced Charley and other Indians are pending. The farmers of San Joaquin Valley are busily engaged in putting in seed for another crop. Experience has proven to the satisfaction of all that early sown land is most certain to pro duce a crop, ami therefore a large urea will this year be seeded before the commencement of the heavy rains. The suit of John li. Winters vs. Wm. Sharon and Thomas Sunderland came up for trial in the District Court, Virginia, Nev., November 13th. The suit Is for $103,000, claimed by the plaintiff as due him as his share of the prolits of certain stock speculations in which tiie parties an'jointly inter ested. Afire occurred in the postoffice and dry good store at McMinniville kept by Dr. H. V.Johnson lately. Some person was boiling oil on the stove, and turning Itis attention to something else for a moment, the oil boiled over and caught on fire, and, the names spreading, burnt the interior of the building badly, though the fullest ex tent of the damage we did not learn. Albert H. Guid, one of the oldest and most respocted citizens of Victoria, died on the 15th instant. He was an Odd Fellow for nearly 30 years, and In the establishment of that noble institu tion in the Province he was foremost. Last year he filled, efficiency and well, the important post of Deputy District Grand Master, and at the time of his death he was Past (Srandof Victoria Lodge of Odd Fellows. The total coinage of the Carson Mint yesterday, says the Carson Appeal ot November 12th, was $48,000', $38,000 of which were gold twenties, and the balance, $10,000, iv trade dollars, all to be returned to depositors in return for precious bullion received at the Mint for coinage. Last night all employees of the coining department of the Mint were at labor rolling ingots of silver and cutting the same for coinage on Thursday. The Oregon Farmer, speaking of the Salem mills, says: "They have completed their improvements and have eight stones in full operation, one being used to chop wheat, and are grinding the enormous amount of 500 barrels daily, or near that figure. They thus turn out 50 tons of Hour a day, and will furnish the Cutwater with her cargo in a month's run. This is nearly or sjuite equal to the run of any other three mills in Oregon." The Tacoma Tribune of last Friday says: "Three rich Indians and three squaws down the Sound, who wanted to do something good and liberal be fore going to the 'happy hunting ground,' gave a grand potlatch near Freeport, King county, during the past few days. They commenced giv ing on Saturday nnd, except Sunday, continued their carnival several days, when everything in the world the three Indians and their squaws possess ed had been given away. About $2,000 in money and $1,000 In goods (the ac cumulations of their lifetime) were given to 3,700 other Indians. Long notice was given, and they gathered from every point west of the Cascade mountains—many going on horseback, hundreds by steamer, and the remain der in canoes, of which no less than 200 were there at one time."
