HOUSES AND CATTLE.

THE EXHIBITION OF HORSES, CATTLE,SHEEP, ETC., AT THE PAKE.one*!-, -__. ,

Hore and Better Horses and Finer Cattlethan Ever Before Exhibited at a*

California State Fair.

The State Agricultural Society has reason

to congratulate itself and the public, on thedisplay of horses and cattle at the Park thisseason, for never before has there been so

fine a one inail respects. Those who thoughtthat the President of the United States wouldbe the principal attraction this week in Sac-ramento were agreeably surprised, for they

have found here an exhibition that in itselfwas well worth traveling hundreds of miles

to witness. Every stable at the Park wasfilled, and it was barely possible to accommo-date all comers.

the HOUSES.

The number of ho. sea attending the fairhis year was larger than on any previous

year, and in the aggregate they were a muchmore valuable collection. The best produc-tions of the Pacific coast were here, and it is

well known that nobetter are shown any-where. The racing record of the week willprove that few States in the Union show any-thing like such improvement in the breedingof horses. .

The most extensive and the most valuablecollection of horses at the Park is that ownedby ex-Governor Leland Stanford. He hassent about thirty head of trotters, runnersand horses on exhibition from his Palo Altostock farm, where he has about 340 bloodedhorses. Of the farm and the horses it is use-less to speak, as they have been written uprepeat aud at length in the various sport-ing papers. The farm and the collection ofhorses are not surpassed in the world. Thehorses now at the Park are under the imme-diate supervision Horace .R. Covey, superin-teo'hnt vl t'r.j- Pi-loAltostock farm, who isably assisted by his son Frank and a numberof drivers, stable-men ami general helpers.The horses from Governor Stanford's stablesthis year are as follows:

Many horses were exhibited at the fair andwere entered for the races that were not sta-bled at the Park.

THE CATTLE.

One of the most noticeable features of thefair is the cattle department. Althoughoccupying theextreme far side of the grounds,the thoroughbred stock has been a constantattraction, and hundreds visit and admireday after day. The principal breeds, so faras numbers are concerned, are the Short-horns and Jerseys, the latter being well rep-resented this year. There is also a fine herdof Guernsey cattle, recently imported. .Menwhocome here with their cattle from a dis-tance, deserve success and recognition, fortheir expenses are veryheavy, and the aggre-gate of premiums, however liberal, willnotanyways near compensate for the aggregateexpenses. For instance,- one herd of \u25a0 short-horns captured ten premiums. This willbarely pay the expenses of the entire herd.The cattle are blanketed, and bedded downas carefully as the finest racer. They arecurried and groomed twice a day.Their tails _ _ are kept in goodshowy condition, the horns . are

Iscraped so as to give them a transparentappearance ;they are fed on the best of hayand grain ; the cows must be milked, andmen are required to be in constant attend-ance. On parade days men and boys arehired to lead the animals. For instance,Colonel Younger has twenty-nine head ofDurhams, The bulls must be handled bystrong hands, and it requires twenty-ninemen and boy? every parade day —

an expenseof at least 320 ;so with all the other herds.

is from the GoldHillNews :Frank Smith, the sole survivor of the

Ho has a cut on the back ofhis head that reaches down to ;the skulland is nearly four inches inlength ;also acut above his right hip that reaches throughinto the cavity of the abdomen. He wasable to converse last evening, though ap-pearing somewhat drowsy in.his actions.He said he could remember nothing aboutthe accident ;that it seemed to him as ifhe. had been asleep.; He could not remembergetting aboard the cage to start up. Whenbrought up out of the mine, and stillwan-dering in mind, he spat ]out the brandythat was put in his mouth, but when triedwith*ice-water |ho eagerly grasped for itand'. drank 2 it.y? Dr.TrHarris

'seeing f this

eagerness, allowed his patient to have allthe ice-water he would \u25a0 drink, and jfoundthat the effect was excellent. yHeretoforeit has been the '. practice lto pour brandyinto wounded men. The Doctor is now ofthe opinion that -in many cases ice-waterwould do them \u25a0 more good. All\u25a0 minersare Iused _ to idrinking great quantities ofice-water in the heated levels. When an

Fate of Sir John Franklin and His Fol-\u25a0'\u25a0;.', lowers.' New York, September 24th.— Tbe Herald pub-

lishes a letter of a correspondent who accompaniedthe Schwatka expedition to King William's Land.The story refers more particularly to the incidentsof the great sledge journey. This is supplemented,however, by the discovery of relics and the exami

nation of Dative witnesses which lead to the sadconclusion that the fate of the officers and crew ofthe i-rebus and Terror was terrible, even to he ut-most limitof the imagination, and that the recordsof the Franklin expedition are lost beyond recovery.Old j men and women of the Esquimaux te Ithestory of those who were doubtless the last survivorsot those unfortunate vessels with a "minuteness ofdetail and evident truthful: .vhich place theirfate beyond a doubt.' Of what became of theirgreatleader, and a large number of men who constitu-ted the crews, nothing '

could be discovered.Only aysmall ::\u25a0 party

Such is the sad conclu-sion which the disc-.vcries of this expedition irresist-ibly lead to. What became of the records of theFranklin expedition that were with this party isalso painfullyevident from the testimony of natives,who naturally considered them of no importance,and by whom they wore allowed to lie around asplaythings for children rand were eventually de-stroyed. y '-\u25a0:'-- '-~2' \u25a0

Follow.ingis the reply of General Hancock :•\u25a0\u25a0'_\u25a0

Governor's Island, MrwYork, )September 23, 1380. I

To Theodora Cook, Sag., Cincinnati, O.—DearSir: Your letter of the 20lh inst. is received. Iregret that you are disturbed about that bugbear,_ Southern war claims.'* The people cannot bo mis-led by it. To suppose tbat the

"rebel claims," orclaims in the internet \u25a0of ii-ersons who werein rebellion, cm in any way or in anydegree be countenanced, is an implication of dis-loyalty such as used to be made against the Demo-crats, even when they were in arms defending thecountry. So far as it touches me,Idenounce it.The Government can never pay a debt, or grant apension or reward of any sort, for waging war uponitsown existence ; nor could Ibe induced to ap-prove or encourage payment of such debt, pensionor reward. Nobody expects or wants such un-natural action. To propose itwould insult the in-telligence and honor of our people. Whenthe iebellion was crushed, tlte heresy ofsecession was fonver buried. It is a thingOf the de-id past. We tnovefOTWd, dot backward.H Iwere President, Iwould veto all legislationwhich might come before me providing for the con-sideration or par ment of drams of any kind forlosses or damages by persona who were in the re-bellion, whether pardoned or not. In relation tothe

"Union war claims." the Government's obliga-

tions to its defenders come first. They arelasting' and sacred. The public laws of civilized na-tions do not in general recognize the claims for in*juries to property resulting from the operations ofwar. Nevertheless, our Government has treatedwith great indulgence claims for loss*and dimages suffered by : Unionmen from the military operations of thewar of the Union ;but as the hostilities were closedmore than fifteen years ago, claims of that nature,

now mostly in the hands of brokers or personsother than the original sufferers, are becoming stale,and inmy judgment might fairly be considered asbarred by lapse of time, and if hereafter enter-tained at all, should be subjected to the strictestscrutiny. . Yours very truly,

W. S. HANCOCK.
