' The time was when a trip to Callfpr.
nia and back rarely occupied less than
twelve months, and it meant either a
long, tiresome trip across the plains, on
the back of a Mexican mustang, or a
long trip across the ' Gulf of Mexico,
thence Heroes the, Iathmus. of Panama
and another eea.woyage along the reefs
of the . Pacific Ocean; where it hugs the
California shore up to the entrab.ee to
Sin Francisco Bay.'but now,thapks to
the invention and use of the Bteam
locomotive, the trip has become one of
days Instead of months.
. The wiiteras a representative pf the
Grand Commandery of North Carolina,
in the Grand Encampment of the Uni
ted States, left Charlotte on the evening
of the 7th day of August ultimo, to
attend the triennial conclave of the
Order of Knights Templar, to be held
in San Francisco, California,' August
20th 26th. I .
Taking the train on the Atlantic,
Tennessee & Ohio Railroad, on ' the
evening of the date above given,' at fi
o'clock, we found ouiself at the begin
ning of a seven thousand mile trip, and
with a resolution which don't usually
back down. . At States vllle we took tbe
Western Xorth Carolina . Railroad for
Ashsvlllo and Warm Springs, thence
via the JelUco route to Louisville, Xen
tucky. Here we joined the company
and made the acquaintance of the De
Molay Commandery No. 12. of .Ken
tucky, who were jngt about to start to
the City of the "Golden Gate," to get the
first of the prizes set apart for the best
drilled commandery of Knights ,Temp
lar in the United States which prize
the boys brought home- with them. '
At Louis vllle we took the Jefferson
vllle, Madison and Indianspolls Bail
road, direct to Chicago, going thence to
Omaha, Nebraska, and from here via
tbe Union Pacific Railroad to Denver,
Cheyenne, and Ogden. including a de
bouch to the Great Salt Lake City of
the Mormons, and a bath In the great
Salt Lake Itself. Coming back to Ogden
City we to 3k the Central Pacific train
for tbe West, and for the first time
struck a bee line for San Francisco. '
, At some future time we may attempt
to describe for the benefit of the readers
ot the Journal Ob&ebvzb the country
through which we passed and the im
pressions made upon us by the shifting
scenes of the tour, but for the present
wa shall confine ourself to the conclave
itself and California as we saw it, :
In the first place, the order known as
Knights Templar, is the highest known
to Masonry in the world, and it has been
the custom of the order for the past'
sixty years to meet once in three years
to enact such legislation as will best
promote the success and the harmony
of the Order. The conclave at San
Francisco was one of these meetings,
and one of its pleasant features waa
that every State in this great and glori
ous Union had its accredited repres-m-tatives
on the floor of the conclave.
Seven, thousand five hundred knights,
in their magnificent uniforms, took part
In the' ceremonies and the procesalons,
the public part of which was witnessed
by 250.000 San Franciscans and ,30,000
visitors. ; The California Knights spent
il40,eoQ in entertaining , their visiting
fraterW and did everything fn their
power to make the occasion one long to
he remembered; Every Sir Knight from
the East certainly carried with him
back to his home the liveliest recollec
tion of their unbounded hospitality, pot
to ssy generosity. v-: ; 3 i v;"
But to California: . It is, aa empire
within itself. In point of area it is ex
ceeded only by the State of Texas, in
all the States of this Union. Its climate
and its soil are peculiar to Itself, and
the habits and customs of its people be
long' to the inhabitants of California
alone. While its population are cosmo
politan, long years of separation from
the balance of the civilized world (until,
the building of the railroads across the
continent) have given them an indi
viduality not possessed by the people of
any other section of the United States.
While they are generous and hospitable
to a fault, they all went there In '49, and
from that day to this they have been on
the maft. '' Everything Is valueless un
less money comes in somewhere, They
$pend like lords, but they are unscrupu
lous ; as to the 'methods of, gain. It is
a land of consolidated and concentrated
monopolies. San Francisco is California,
in fact,' and there are few enterprises,
either of railroad building; miaes, or of
agriculture, which are not managed and
controlled by Sari Francisco capital and
San ifrandsoo brains.? -indeed, it may
be said that the Floods,' Mackeys, et id
omrujx&v the Stab? With, an jronfrod.
They control legislation ; lawyers plead
as they say for generous feesAnd smaller
capitalists .work with ' them because pf
the advantages to be derived from con
solidation of effort and energy. This
looks Very queer to a man from North
Carolina, but it is so, and some time we
may take occasion to explain it more,

Xaapreasloae ot Oar Town aad People
' TJpea Oar Late -Visiters, aad What
They Have te gay Aboat Us Some
Sensible Remarks by the Farmers
u Since their return to Pennsylvania,
the party who recently made an excur
sion into North Carolina have been fill
ing up their home papers with articles
descriptive of their trip, and they speak
in the highest terms of praise of our
State and of pur people. ; They were de
lighted with our country and have not
hesitated to give the Fennsylvanians
full 'and true accounts of what they
saw among us and bow they were treat
ed. We yesterday received a bundle of
papers from Pennsylvania, each one
containing fotur to five and six columns
of the most 'glowing accounts of our
State. Of their trip to Charlotte one
correspondent says: "At Charlotte a
large crowd of citizens awaited oar ar
rival at the depoU who, after an address
from the mayor pro tern, bade us step
into the cabs and carriages which they
had provided to carry as to the city.
We had no sooner entered this city of
ten thousand inhabitants than we no
ticed the similarity existing between
this and our Northern cities. ; The
streets are wide, well paved, the dust
was sprinkled, aad the houses, wh ich
were three and four stories high, were
kept in good repair. The neat and tidy
outward appearance of Charlotte re
flects credit upon its citizens. We were
serenaded bt the band at 8 p. m, and
were then invited around to the Cham
ber of Commerce. The rare pleasure
which we experienced at this reception,
consisting of interesting; entertaining
and amusing addresses for the delight
of the intellect, choice wines and as
sorted cakes for the stomach's sake, fol
lowed by a general hand-shaking, at
tended with personal greetings of wel
come, which made the heart glow, is
simply indescribable, and we shall not
attempt it. Charlotte Is a great railroad
centre; three roads cross at thia point.
It exported 4300 bales of cotton. De
cides grain and other products, last
year. One firm alone handles SotXUXX)
worth of goods annually. - We saw the
grave of Brevard Davidson, the . resi
dence of Mrs. Stone well Jackson, vfsjt
ed the United States assay office, and
other points ef interest. Carriages were
furnished us and we were taken to 'the
celebrated farm of Mr. John W. Wads
worth, about one mile from Charlotte
The system of Mr. Wauls worth A' farm
ing, whose name is famed far and wide
as that of a fancy farmer, is essentially
Northern. We examined clover fields
from which the second crop of hay had
been taken, and thought that we had
never before seen fields so regularly
and thickly covered with stubbles. Mr.
Wads worth also - raises a ; variet y of
fruit. He took us to his vineyard and
also his cellars. ' We noticed in passing
a thriving young orchard and white
washed board fences. Mr. Wads worth
told ui that he has been, farming for
twelve years and finds his land still im
proving. He said that he raised fifty
bushels of corn, thirty-eight bushels of
wheat on an average, has raised forty
five and a half s bushels of very choice,
and one hundred and eighty bushels, by
measure, or one - hundred and fifteen
bushels by weight, of oats to the acre.
; "Our readers should bear in mind
that this la fancy farming. Mr. Wads
worth has many-facilitiesf or improving
land ; he is wealthy, runs an extensive
livery stable in Charlotte, where 'he
keeps three hundred head of horses con
stantly on hand, and is a dealer besides.
All the manure, of course, goes oxi Ids
farm. : The only, apparent differenca be
tween ? this soil and that of Warren
countyv ia that- the latter-4 has a little
more surface sand , and is evidently
farmed oaLVnis iand sells for frm
$50 to fcflo per acre. The climate, soil,
and people in the southwestern part of
this State remind us more of the better
sections of Pennsylvania than any plaice
we have ever been outside of our State.
The latter of which can be accounted
for by the fact that their ancestors and
ours were of the same original stock
the Dutch and Scotch-Irish. - -r ;

breasts of all: our people yesterday
morning over the announcement of the
death at his home . in this city, after a
long and wasting illness, of , Mr W E
Hand. Mr Hand left Charlotte some
time last year to enter the drug busi
ness in - Atlanta, but came back sick
several months ago, and up to the time
of his death, had' scarcely been able to
get out of the house. " He was a . young
man known to all in Charlotte and he
possessed in a remarkable degree the
esteem and confidence of our , whole
people. He entered tbe drug business
in Charlotte early In Bfe and acquired
great skill and proficiency in bis chosen
profession. His warm, generous, heart
and gentlemanly qualities made him a
friend with everybody. --,-
: On account of the absence of Father
Wright, who is detained in Philadelphia
by sickness, no f urneral services were
held over tbe remains, bat at the grave
Mr John Phelan read a prayer and all
that was mortal of WmE Hand, was
laid away at rest. The T pall bearers,
selected from among the druggists of
the city, were R H Jordan, R S Gray, L
E SteereT Will Wearn, Ed Shipp and R
T Reek. Mr Hand leaves a . devoted
mother and one brother. He was thirty
years of age.
