HOME AFFAIRS. WOUKMAX KILLKD BY A FALLING BUILDIXO. Patents to Mexican Crow Virginia iiPBCIIL DLSPATCHKS TO THS AN IMPORTANT CASE. A Suit Involving the Stability or FallMtl to Mexican Grants. 1887, by Illwfilfiil JVan.l October Supreme Court to-day decided to advance for hearing the case of the Vnited i-'tates vs.

the San Jacinto Tin Company, of California. Arguments will he heard some time in January, although no date in that month has been specifically fixed by the Court. The determination "of this cisc is of greater importance to California than any other on the docket of the Court. The qnesdona involved in the suit are of a public character, and allect the title to all lands held under Mexican grants in Caliturnia. Nearly WKi people are now residing upon the lands originally contained within the limits of Mexican grants continued by the Hoard of Land Commissioners under the treaty of Guadeloupe Hidalgo.

While the United States brinps this suit on appeal, in point of fact the contest carried on in the interest of parties who deny the validity of the fjrant to the San Jacinto Tin Company, who htid a patent for eleven tqnare league! of land in San Bernardino county. Senator William M. Stewart, of counsel for the company, moved to advance the hearing, on the grodnd that it is a test case, in which the question is raised whether the Attorney-General can institute suits to set aside palents granted on findings made by the Board of Land whose decisions have been confirmed by the United States Courts, without authority expressly conferred by an Act of Congress. The Attorney-General interposed no objection to advancing the case. The counsel for the San Jacinto company contends that the necessity lor an early determination of the questions particularly as to the power of the Attorney General, without further legislation by Congress, to open and relidgate private land claims of California of momentous I interest to the State.

Accompanying the petitioner's brief is a letter from Governor Waterman, transmitting two petitions. One. signed by 143 citizens, owners and residents of a Mexican land grant known as the Las Pulgas Ranch, asking the President to set aside an order of the Attorney General permitting interested parties to commence proceedings to set aside the patent to said cram. The other is the petition of members of the bar ot California, stating various reasons why certain suits to set aside patents to Mexican land claims in California should not be prosecuted. In the case of the United States vs.

Flint in the Circuit Court of California, decided in Justice Field rendering the opinion, the Court held that title to lands continued by the Hoard of Land Commissioners tinder Mexican grants could not be invalidated in the manner proposed under this section. Justice Field said Where the District Attorney ot this District obtains authority to institute, in the name of the Doited States, suits fur the we are not informed. There is no law of Cbogresg which requires or allows it. and we have sought in vain lor the power of the Atiorncy-Uineral direct it. That officer can, it is true, institute or direct the Institution ofiiiits for the revocation and cancellation of patents oi lnuds LtlougiDK to the ntted States Issued upon and fraudulent representation to the executive officers of the Land Department, or upon (he misconstruction or law; but that is a TOry different matter from tasttttiting ur directing proce dings to vacate or recall patents founded upon deer cs of the Comml-sion ur Court exercisine a special and exclusive jurisdiction Those decrees establish the obligation of the united Stutt's to under the treat and irtLe Legislative Department which authorized the proceedings before the ('ommixakMi and Court be satisfied with the result, it in difficult Uttee up.ni what pretense the Attorney-General Can seek to dis-turb it.

ARIZONA'S CONDITION. Gov. Zullrk Praises tho Kuvajoev anil Denounces the 1 parties. Wabhtkgtok, October 17th. -C.

Meyer Zulick, Governor of Arizona, in his annual report estimates the population of that Territory at an increase of nearly 50,000 over the census estimate of 1880. The aggregate assessed valuation of taxable property for the present year is increase of nearly $600,000 over 1886. By reduced expenditures, increased taxable values, and the gradual lessening of the tax rate, the Territory is now absolutely on a safe and healthy financial basis. The agricultural possibilities of Arizona, with proper continues the can scarcely be overestimated. Its live stock interests are in a flourishing condition.

Taken in the aggregate, the mining interests of Arizona are on a safe and paying basis. The Governor says there are few portions of the Republic ontside of Michigan. Wisconsin and Washington Territory that contain such extensive bodies of timber above average quality. The public-school system of Arizona is a subject of pride to all of her citizens, and it pays to its teachers higher salaries than any other State or Territory, and requires a higher standard of ability. The Governor recommends that the 160) and sections of school land in every township be sold and the proceeds be applied to school purposes of the Territory.

As to the Indians, the report states that of all the tribes in the Territory, the Xavajos are the most prosperous, intelligent and enterprising, and doubtless the healthiest tribe in tiie United States. They number about souls, and are increasing. It is estimated that they own 20,000 horses and 1 000,000 sheep. They farm quite extensively, and raise good crops. The Apaches occupy the San Carlos Reservation, containing about 2,528,000 ncres of the best agricultural land in the Territory.

As a race, the report says, they are lazy, thievish anil murderons, seemingly incapable of civilization. As long as the Apache Indians are suilered to remain within the borders of the Territory, just so long will the peace of Arizona be insecure and her progress be retarded.

Inten-xt Taken iv Washington i I'aclUc iy 'inifiOil Washinuthx. October The disclosures of municipal corruption and jury-bribing in San Francisco have attracted a great deal of attention in Washington, and deep interest is felt in the outcome of the effort! now being made to purge the city government of crookedness and fraud. The heads of the executive department! at the national capital, both under Republican and Democratic administrations, have been aware of the methods that were largely connected with the distribution of patronage on the Pacific coast, and of the influence! that were potent in awarding Federal It has not been possible, however, for the persons holding the appointing to k-nore the demands of those identified with tbecontiollim; fact MM in local politics.

Kx-Ueprest-ntative Page, ot California, who will soon leave Washington for his tionip, in conversation with yoor correspondent to-day, said people of especially the residems of San Francisco have been patient, law abiding and even suffering under the system in local politics, until they are now thoroughly aroused to the gravity of the situation. The time seems to be ripe for immediate action, and once in the pecDlfl of California gave an emphatic manifestation of their disapproval of corruption in State and municipal alfairs. The remembrance of that time should teach the present generation mat the spirit of the bold, intrepid pioneers is not dead. The time cannot be far distant when ballot-box Mufiers and political bosses must go, and leave the administration of affairs where it in the hands of the people. There is no longer a necessity for the organization or existence of a Vigilance Committee.

The patriotic citizens of California are amply able to vindicate their wrongs without recourse to force. They have machinery which, put in force by lawful methods, will purge Bay community of the evils now existing, and the people of the State, regardless of party affiliation, should unite to accomplish this most desirable end.
