Counterleiting the Great Real of Cnlifornine. Millions of Acros of Iand'Stolen und Dis- trihated Under Fictitious Titles Through. out tho Stnte. dan Francisco Caronfels. A fraud of a startling nature, and doubtless one of tho most stupendous in lts purposes and results of any previously perpetrated in this State, has rocently been discovered, amounting to nothing less than the counterfoiting of the Grent Seal of the State of Callfornia and its ap- plication to prodigious schicrneaof thicvery. The maln object to which this daring villainy has boen desliciied hins been tho wholesale seizure of the publiclands under thegulse of legal sapction, and vn a scale compared with which the brief period of desert land-grabbling was a mere spasm of petty larceny. anthoritics for some weeks past, but the reason that it has been withheld from the public Is not explalned, unlcss ft may bo attributed to tho cuuse of justice in facilitating the ferreting out of the aullty parties. For what perlod aod to what oxtent this fruudulent fostrument has been in usc, outslde investigation bas not deter- mined, but It ia quite certaln that many thou- sands, ma yhap millions of acres of land, includ- ing some ot tho best improved and valusble in the State, are held under fActitious titles, dovoly- ing upon the cinployment of this counterfeit.
