HOUSES AND CATTLE. THE EXHIBITION OF HORSES, CATTLE, SHEEP, ETC., AT THE PAKE. one*!-, -__. , Hore and Better Horses and Finer Cattle than Ever Before Exhibited at a* California State Fair. The State Agricultural Society has reason to congratulate itself and the public, on the display of horses and cattle at the Park this season, for never before has there been so fine a one in ail respects. Those who thought that the President of the United States would be the principal attraction this week in Sac- ramento were agreeably surprised, for they have found here an exhibition that in itself was well worth traveling hundreds of miles to witness. Every stable at the Park was filled, and it was barely possible to accommo- date all comers. the HOUSES. The number of ho. sea attending the fair his year was larger than on any previous year, and in the aggregate they were a much more valuable collection. The best produc- tions of the Pacific coast were here, and it is well known that no better are shown any- where. The racing record of the week will prove that few States in the Union show any- thing like such improvement in the breeding of horses. . The most extensive and the most valuable collection of horses at the Park is that owned by ex- Governor Leland Stanford. He has sent about thirty head of trotters, runners and horses on exhibition from his Palo Alto stock farm, where he has about 340 blooded horses. Of the farm and the horses it is use- less to speak, as they have been written up repeat aud at length in the various sport- ing papers. The farm and the collection of horses are not surpassed in the world. The horses now at the Park are under the imme- diate supervision Horace .R. Covey, superin- teo'hnt vl t'r.j- Pi-lo Alto stock farm, who is ably assisted by his son Frank and a number of drivers, stable-men ami general helpers. The horses from Governor Stanford's stables this year are as follows: Elaine, a fine brown mare, nix years old, by Messenger Dnroc, dam Green Mountain Maid, by Henry Clay. Previous to this week her best record was 2:24, but on Tuesday she reduced it •-\u25a0 2:21 J. Clay, a black gelding, six years old,by Fred Liw, d.mi Maid of Clay by Henry Clay.

This stud of horses have b?en visited during the week by thou- sands of people, and the attendants have been ever ready to extend any courtesy in their power. The name of each horse was painted in large letters on a card over the door of the stall, which was a great convenience to the public in finding the horses they most desired to see. This is au idea that ha-, been repeat- edly suggested in these columns, and to the extent it was carried out this year the public were grateful. The next largest exhibit was that of Theo- dore Winters, ia charge of Walter Neely and Henry Welch. Mr. Winters has been for a great many years one of the largest exhib- itors,' and as the owner of Norfolk has brought to the fair each year some of the .best running slock in the United States.

THE CATTLE. One of the most noticeable features of the fair is the cattle department. Although occupying the extreme far side of the grounds, the thoroughbred stock has been a constant attraction, and hundreds visit and admire day after day. The principal breeds, so far as numbers are concerned, are the Short- horns and Jerseys, the latter being well rep- resented this year. There is also a fine herd of Guernsey cattle, recently imported. .Men who come here with their cattle from a dis- tance, deserve success and recognition, for their expenses are very heavy, and the aggre- gate of premiums, however liberal, willnot anyways near compensate for the aggregate expenses. For instance,- one herd of \u25a0 short- horns captured ten premiums. This will barely pay the expenses of the entire herd. The cattle are blanketed, and bedded down as carefully as the finest racer. They are curried and groomed twice a day. Their tails _ _ are kept in good showy condition, the horns . are I scraped so as to give them a transparent appearance ; they are fed on the best of hay and grain ; the cows must be milked, and men are required to be in constant attend- ance. On parade days men and boys are hired to lead the animals. For instance, Colonel Younger has twenty-nine head of Durhams, The bulls must be handled by strong hands, and it requires twenty-nine men and boy? every parade day — an expense of at least 320 ; so with all the other herds. R. KOKLL'S HEItD. The first herd on the left is that' of R. Ncell of Grass Valley, Nevada county, con- -1 sisting of nine head of Jerseys, taken from I his herd of fourteen in Nevada county.

Her tracks have been found in the sand along the shore. \u25a0 Sometimes she wears shoes, and at other times she goes in her bare feet.

If the reports be true, an effort should be made to reclaim her, as she probably has friends who are mourning her as among the dead. Ice Watkr vs. Brandy.— The following\ is from the Gold Hill News : Frank Smith, the sole survivor of the Imperial accident, was much improved in condition last night. His physician, Dr. Harris, is of j the opinion that he will pull through, though he is cut and bruised from head to foot. Ho has a cut on the back of his head that reaches down to ; the skull and is nearly four inches inlength ; also a cut above his right hip that reaches through into the cavity of the abdomen. He was able to converse last evening, though ap- pearing somewhat drowsy in . his actions. He said he could remember nothing about the accident ; that it seemed to him as if he. had been asleep.; He could not remember getting aboard the cage to start up. When brought up out of the mine, and still wan- dering in mind, he spat ]out the brandy that was put in his mouth, but when tried with * ice-water |ho eagerly grasped for it and '. drank 2 it.y? Dr. TrHarris ' seeing f this eagerness, allowed his patient to have all the ice-water he would \u25a0 drink, and jfound that the effect was excellent. yHeretofore it has been the '. practice lto pour brandy into wounded men. The Doctor is now of the opinion that -in many cases ice-water would do them \u25a0 more good. All \u25a0 miners are I used _ to i drinking great quantities of ice-water in the heated levels. When an accident occurs ,to | any lof them down in the hot regions of a mine the chances are that, although ; unconscious, ; they are al- most burning up; with thirst by the time they roach the surface, and ' all they ordi- narily get lis C brandy "or whisky, which must > heat i instead ! s of ;, cooling them.- & If given brandy or; whisky, men under these circumstances should doubtless also be of- fered water.

' New York, September 24th.— Tbe Herald pub- lishes a letter of a correspondent who accompanied the Schwatka expedition to King William's Land. The story refers more particularly to the incidents of the great sledge journey. This is supplemented, however, by the discovery of relics and the exami nation of Dative witnesses which lead to the sad conclusion that the fate of the officers and crew of the i-rebus and Terror was terrible, even to he ut- most limit of the imagination, and that the records of the Franklin expedition are lost beyond recovery. Old j men and women of the Esquimaux te I the story of those who were doubtless the last survivors ot those unfortunate vessels with a "minuteness of detail and evident truthful: .vhich place their fate beyond a doubt.' Of what became of theirgreat leader, and a large number of men who constitu- ted the crews, nothing ' could be discovered. Only ay small : : \u25a0 party -- of officers, -2 Mick abo it the mouth, with DO flesh on their bones, were seen dragging a boat across the ice, and then they disappeared, and. nothing more was Men of them until their skeletons were found under their boat and in a tent, a prey to wildbeasts, and withdread- ful evidences that they had bieu driv.u to feed "ii the weaker of their companions before flna ly yield- ing to starvation and cold. Such is the sad conclu- sion which the disc-.vcries of this expedition irresist- ibly lead to. What became of the records of the Franklin expedition that were with this party is also painfully evident from the testimony of natives, who naturally considered them of no importance, and by whom they wore allowed to lie around as playthings for children rand were eventually de- stroyed. y '-\u25a0:'-- '-~ 2' \u25a0 Hancock mid IU - !:<\u25a0!>•\u25a0!

Follow. ing is the reply of General Hancock :•\u25a0\u25a0'_\u25a0 Governor's Island, MrwYork, ) September 23, 1380. I To Theodora Cook, Sag., Cincinnati, O.—Dear Sir: Your letter of the 20lh inst. is received. I regret that you are disturbed about that bugbear, _ Southern war claims.'* The people cannot bo mis- led by it. To suppose tbat the " rebel claims," or claims in the internet \u25a0of ii-ersons who were in rebellion, cm in any way or in any degree 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 the country. So far as it touches me, I denounce it. The Government can never pay a debt, or grant a pension or reward of any sort, for waging war upon its own existence ; nor could I be induced to ap- prove or encourage payment of such debt, pension or reward. Nobody expects or wants such un- natural action. To propose it would insult the in- telligence and honor of our people. When the iebellion was crushed, tlte heresy of secession was fonver buried. It is a thing Of the de-id past. We tnovefOTWd, dot backward. H I were President, I would veto all legislation which might come before me providing for the con- sideration or par ment of drams of any kind for losses or damages by persona who were in the re- bellion, whether pardoned or not. In relation to the " Union war claims." the Government's obliga- tions to its defenders come first. They are lasting' 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 of war. Nevertheless, our Government has treated with great indulgence claims for loss* and dimages suffered by : Union men from the military operations of the war of the Union ; but as the hostilities were closed more than fifteen years ago, claims of that nature, now mostly in the hands of brokers or persons other than the original sufferers, are becoming stale, and inmy judgment might fairly be considered as barred by lapse of time, and if hereafter enter- tained at all, should be subjected to the strictest scrutiny. .
