secret arrest was resolved upon the subsidiary publica
ions were organized: third scheme oi DESTRUCTION wac
contriyed for the opening proof OF which we must go
back two letters of the nth day OF January ALREADY
read for purpose and now TO be read Tor their ghes
and ultimate object.
The first of these letters to the contents of which re-
fer-it is necessary TO read them agans that letter
OF General Kearny, OF the nth of January TO Commo
dore Stockton, then degenerated into 'ag govern
or, the postponement "for The present. of that collision
and cUa pdr of which the Commodore felt IT TO be his
duty TO give immediate and official information TO the
executive government This letter admitted by
General Kearny his examination, To have been
written IN the afternoon OF the day which II bears
date, and after the invited interview OF the morning with
Lieutenant Colonel Fremont "on bvsiness'-which bust
ness General Kearny has never disclosed. The adms
sion of having written this letter after that interview,
and nsequenty after the refusal OF Fremont TO put HIM
self and his battaon-hve hundred of the best rlemen
in the world. with six pieces of cannon-under the
command of Kearny, is proof positive that this refusal
of Fremont was the OF the writing OF that let
ter and consequently the cause OF preventing General
Kearny from making civil upon Stockton, that day,
for the govemorshp OF California The other letter OF
the same date which REFER the also heretofore
read, in which General Kearny informs the executive
government of the refusal OF both Stockton and Fremont
TO recognise his authority, or to obey his orders ana
adds very Significantly ''and as hare no troops an me
countyunder my authority bit Jeto Dragons, nave
po,oer ofenforcing them If there was the slightest
doubt about the import OF these words they were made
sufficiently clear by another official letter to the executive
government, brought IN al the same time, and by Inc same
messenger, (Emory,) in which the same complaint Is
Ie of non obedience his orders the part OF Com
modore Stockton and in which is said that, soon as
the troops from New Mexico chat to say the 500 Nor
under Cooke) arrived he should take the manage
ment OF things into his own hands These communica-
tons TO the government were not published they were
only brought TO light in the progress OF the Fremont
court martial but their contents, accurately paraphrased,
and all antiquities made clear appeared IN the sub
sidiary publications which from San Diego or
sprung up the track of Emory, or went forth from
Washington alter the arrival OF Emory IN the city, IN
the letters of the semi official delaor and retail vender OF
office secrets and OF Others PROCESSING to obtain their IN
formation from All these pointed 10 the
execution OF Sock on and Fremont as mutlneers ana
that, six months before Kearny made known his mten-
ton of proceeding against Fremont for muuny say,
against Fremont for, although his own etter of the 18th
OF January expressly included Stockton in that process,
and in fact took him for the principal and Fremont only
for his accessory; and although all the subsidiary publ
cations and retail letters accurately followed the unpub-
presently entirely left out of the operation, and its whole
force exclusively directed against Fremont. With tins
explanation, account for the joining OF Stocktons name
with Fremonts, and the principal, IN all the pubhca-
tons of the time in relation to the execution of the mutt
neers and lis subsequent disappearance IRON that cate
goy proceed 10 give specimen OF the manner IN which
those whom subsequent events proved to have been well
informed of his secret ntens take sentence from the
St Louis (Missouri) Republican of May 4, 1877:

suctons authorized him TO do But if, suppose, he
constituted Governor Of California; if he was appoint
