Court OF Sessions.

This body were in session the last four
days during the past week, but managed
to despatch large amount Of business The
Grand Jury adjourned on Thursday eve
ming, after finding Indictments against six
individuals for various offences. The Court
.f Sessions have succeeded in Furnishing n
few Of the many culprits who have accumu-
lated in our jails, and some Of them were
fortunate enough to be found not guilty.
Among the former was the person who tore
up the docket of Justice Jones. The man
who wished the Vigilance Committee to res
cue him from the authorities when he was
arrested was found guilty Of an assault with
intent to do bodily injury. Collins, the
man who had the disturbance in the Metro
politan last winter, was discharged, as was
also Frank Blue, who had been sent up on a
charge of burglary.
The District Court will commence its ses-
sion at Bidwell on Monday, the 18th inst.

COURT HoUsE.-We received a visit from
Gen. Moore, one of the Supervisors Of Butte
county, from whom we learn that it is the
intention of the Board to accept the new
Court House at this place in time to bring
the question of removal before the District
Court, which convenes Mt Bdwell on the
25th inst There is some fear that our
Courts may declare the law unconsttution-
al, in which event it would 90 up to the Su-
preme Court, and be decided at the present
term. Should the Courts declare the law
unconstitutional, the County Records and
business cannot be removed to Oroville un-
til the next Legislature declare it the Coun-
ty seat. We hope the question may be
brought before the present term of the
District Court, that it may be declared as
soon as practicable.

men who are little undecided whether to-
go for Fillmore or Fremont, have been en-
deavoring to get together in council here in
Orovlle. They have sent bell around the
streets with colored gentleman for several
evenings, and we believe the result was a
determin alton to have Fillmore flag. A
youth was employed to circulate a subscrip-
tion paper, and succeeded in raising the en-
ormous sum of eleven dollars. The contr act
for the construction of the flag has been let
to the bell ringer. and is to be composed of
fourteen bandanna handkercheifs, curiously
interviewer, and containing portraits of Fill
more and Donelson.

FREMoNr IN '43.--lt is well known that
Fremont made an expedition to California
in 1858. One at least Of the pioneers now
resident in Butte county, came with his
train from Oregon to California. Several
incidents occurred which go far to show the
character Of Mr.. Fremont. The provisions
for his train were not Of sufficiently fine
quality for Col. Fremont. HIS provisions
were separate and distinct from those Of his
train, and when the company's provisions
were getting short, the boys found their
way to the Coloners plethoric sugar sack,
and helped themselves. In due time, the
train arrived at Suffers Fort, and as Gen.
Sutter was an Alcalde, Col. Fremont went
before the General, entered complaint
against the members Of his train who had
stolen his sugar, and had them arrested and
locked up in the fort. That is we call giving
the boys "Jessie." This magnanimous and
generous Colonel, is now the Black Republi
can candidate for President. Those who
have been subjected to his petty tyranny,
will dou btless content themselves with Civ
ing the Colonel "Jessie."

up with some three year old steers that
were as sleek as moles and dressed on an
average 979 lbs. This is probably the best
