made between Mr.. Howard Abeel of Albion, Or
leans county, and Isaac Sherman, Of New York
that the Rev. Mr.. French, of Washington city, had
written letter expressing his belief that John G
Fremont had been Catholic. Lieut.. Governor
Sanford Il. Church was selected as umpire to de
eide the bet, who has since decided that Mr.
French has written such letter, and awarded the
81, 900 to Mr.. Abeel Mr. Sherman has, we learn
drawn his check in payment of the same Mr.
Sherman is close personal and political friend o
Fremont, and Is spoken of as one of his keepers
Here is the award of Mr.. Church s..
"On the 30th day of August, 1866, Howard
Abeel and Isaac Sherman placed in my hands a
written statement containing the terms of wager
to be decided by me, of which the following is a
copy:
THE WAGER.
aHoward Abcel of Albion, New York, propo.
SEES to bet one thousand dollars with Isaac Sher-
man, Of New York city, against one thousand dol.
lars to be bet by said Isaac Sherman, that the
Rev. Mr. French Of Washington, has written letter
In which he states that be 1.-THE Rev Mr. French) had
understood him (neaning John O. Fremont) to be-
or to have been Catholic (meaning Roman Cath
olic or that Rev. Mr. French in such letter. stated
or expressed his belief or opinion, or understand
ing, that John G. Fremont was or had been Cath
Ole (meaning Roman Catholic the question to be
proposition but upon the substantial meaning of
the term usually taken in connexion with the sur
rounding circumstances. The money, viz Two
thousand dollars to be deposited in the hands Of
Sanford E. Church, Of Albion, New York. The
proof to be furnished within sixty days from the
date hereof, and Sanford E. Church is to decide
upon the suficiency of the proof.
Dated Albion, August Soth, 1856.

HOWARD ABEL"
In pursuance of the foregoing, a letter has been
produced to me, written by the said Rev. J. w
French to George B. Warren, Jr., of Troy, New
York, bearing date July oath, 1855, the authenti
city of which has been satisfactorily proved
The following is correct extract from said let
ter and is all therein contained that relates to the
subject matter of the wager.
Here follows a statement from Rev. Mr. French,
inregard to Fremonts Roman Catholic proclivities,
which, however, we are not at liberty to publish.
Il have carefully compared the
terms Of the wager, With the extract above Sc,
forth, and have heard the views Of both parties II
relation thereto, and have come to the conclusion
that Mr. French does substantially express, his
opinion, understanding or belief in said letter tina
Mr.. Fremont was Roman Catholic, and there
fore decide the wager in favor Of Howard Abeel.
