Of the Supreme Court pronounced, on the motion
for re-hearing, denying the motions and according

people mourn over the severe judgment of the COURT
which remands her back to worse than wdowhood

added to the blight of hopes and expectations,

present, yet our-fths Of tho meeting was composed
Of native California rancheros



From the San Francisco Herald, March l6J
1t is very common for newly arrived emigrants TO
complain Of the climate of California and to attri
butte any ailment or sickness that may affect them
after their landing to this cause. In this they
NIT very great mistake, and do our climate injus-
tice. We venture to say there is no climate more
congenal to health and longevity than that of Cali
forna All who have resided here for any length Of
time concur in this. We admit that strangers and
persons recently arrived sometimes suerfrom diarr
hGa, but the disease almost invariably yields to
deal treatment. But why should the climate be
held accountable for this? Every person of travel
ling experience knows that in the most healthy of
the Atlantic States people cannot 60 any great dis
lance without being more or less affected with COM
plants of the bowels. This is caused in nine
in ten, by change of water. The same cause pro-
duces similar efectin California. Why, therefore,
should the climate be condemnedl
While is clear that to the climate Of California,
the ailments to which strangers frequently suffer
FROM after arriving, cannot in justice be atri-
buted, we think we can point out the real cause
In n word, it is the imprudence of which so many
emigrants to California are guilty, on their way to
the land of gold and promise, in Havana, on the
lsthmus of Panama, or in Nicaragua, as the case
may be. This is the real of most of the evil.
When emigrants arrive at any Of these places, they
indulge Immediately in tropical fruits to which they
are unaccustomed, and expose themselves to tho
burning rays Of q sun almost vertical The same
imprudence and exposure would produce disease at
home. This, however, is overlooked. We are per-
nary care of his health on his way to California will
have to blame the climate ofthisState after
his arrival. But what can people expect, who take
such liberties with their health, who tamper so
much with their constitutions, understand the
fifteen hundred two thousand who were at
Panama, awaiting ut the last accounts, an oppor-
tunity to reach this city All of them had re-
manned there fora time, long or short, having left
the Atlantic States without Through" tickets. Most
OF them were in the habit of spending their time
in the drinking saloons imbibng distilled poison,
and some of them had slept for days and weeks in
the open air, in climate preverbially unhealthy.
Such people court disease, and they should escape
il on the Isthmus, they carry the seeds of bowel
complaints. dysentery, and other disorders, in their
systems to California, where they terminate and
produce illness, and not unfrequently death In all
such cases the climate of California is blamed;
whereas the fault lies in the victims themselves.
If, while defend our climate, our structures
should be the of reducing the misery which
is caused by mprudence in travelling from the At
lantic States TO California, we shall fatter our
selves that have done something in favor OF hu-
mainly.
