ANGELES, July 7, ls47.
A California gentleman, occupying high posi-,
ton 10 that State, thus refers to this rnatterr
Accompanying the above documents are the let.
teri and certificates Of Col ]. d. Stevenson, colo
mel commanding southern military district Of Cali
fornia: Dr. g. G. Foster at present Mayor of Los
Angeles j. ii. Davidson, lieutenant United States
army A. j. Smith, lieutenant let dragons; ".
@. Sherman, Sd artillery and a number Of otheys,
all tending to corroborate and establish the authen
tcity of the papers, which omit on account of the
space they would occupy. That there is evidence
of intention on the part Of Governor or Lieut..
Colonel Fremont to defraud the government must
b clear TO every unprejudiced person who reads
tho charges, and the opinion is strengthened when
It Is known that the charges were known to Colo
nel--no, "Governor" Fremont, and he has never
made any effort to disprove them Unless there
was consciousness Of guilt, would not any indi.
vidual, however humble, have made an effort to
explain or sprove the cbargesS The only effort
on the part of Governor Fremont that ever heard
of was threats In Washington city to kill Governor
Mason in California who in laying the facts before
the department, was merely performing duty he,
as an oficsr Of the government, was sworn to per-
form.
Aa Governor Fremont Is the candidate for
the Office Of President of the United States, biz
Official acts are public property; IL meritorious,
they should be rewarded, and If discreditabe,
they should be made public. ! intend to furnish
additional proofs Of the skill Of the Governor
In financial affairs, though I fear that they viii
only give him additional sciat with his party, q
header Of which Ford, of Ohio) lately boosted in
A spcech that, in case of division OF the Union,
Ohio would soon steal all the negroes In the South
That being cardinal virtue with them, of course
proofs of frauds on the part of their candidate
would only elevate him in their estimation.
At the date of the operations Of Colonel Ere.
mont, Brigadier General Kearney was the only re-
cognised Governor Of California--that Is BY the
Departments at Washington.
General Kearney arrested Colonel Fremont In
August, and he was arraigned before court mar
tial, composed Of the ablest officers in the United
States army on the 9th September, ls47, At
Washington city, TO answer the following charges
lst-Autiny; IL specifications. 2d--Disobedi.
ence of the lawful commands Of his superior Off
Ger; 7 specifications. 3d-Conduct to the preju-
dios of good order and military discipline; o spe
ciHcations. The court on the 3lst January, 1S4s,
found Colonel Fremont guilty on each Of the
charges, and every one of the specifications On
the 18th February, ls4s, President Polk, in pur'
suance Of the finding Of the court martial, dis
missed Colonel Fremont the service. The charges
made by General Mason, the successor OF Kearney,
we're received too late, or there would have been
q fourth and fifth charge for fraud and pecuia-
ton. A fitting subject for President
N. Bly, reference to Executive Documents,
lst session slst Congress, ls49 and 1850, volume
5, Document No. IL, pages S29 and $50, and pages
S6s and s73 inclusive, 1t win be seen that the
charges contained In the above article we're re-
ported to the House Of Representatives on the 2ist
January, 1850, by President 2. Taylor in snswer
70 resolution Of the House Of the 8lst Decem.
