CHARACTERISTIC.

The New York Herald is opposed to the election of Mr.
King the Fremont candidate for governor in New York
We quote
Several conventions have bern held during the past
week at Syracuse but the most important Of these
ryng aud presumng assembages that calling itself
publican, which nominated for governor Mr. John A. King,
OF jamaica Long Island This convention has had the
put forward Mr. King the sole exclusive candi
Of the Fremont pstyJ though supports at the
time candidate for tho presidency to whom Mr. King and
his friends have ayowed themselves to be hostile Indeed
have no doubt that the truth known It would be- found
that, during the preliminary movements which ushered in
the nomination OF Fremont Mr. John A. King underrated
and radncsd John o. Fremont much AZ many who
now his political antagonists. We will not support John A.
King for governor. His political history and his political
reputation OF such character As TO make II entirely

appropriation bad been made by Congress to pay for
these supplies Congress could have anticipated that
Colonel Fremont would raise California battalion by his
own personal exertons and without previous instrucons
1t will be at once that Mr. Buchanans evidence has
not the remoest bearing upon the charge that Colonel
Fremont received from the government $90O which he
failed to apply to the payment Of the drafts The sequel
of the matter shows how much the government suffered In
the transaction. In the suit, judgment was rendered
against Colonel Fremont for nearly S50000 embracing
interest," coss and damages Our government in spirit
of great beraty although 1t had already paid the
Of the drafts Colonel Fremont nteposed by special
of Congress- and not only paid the amount Of the Gdg
ment but also the OF Colonel Fremons personal
expenses, making exceeding $4,000. To all in
and purposes this Colonel Fremonts individual
debt and afterwards ufon the settlement OF his accounts
with the government he refunded the amount OF the
drafts leaving him equitaby indebted in the sum Of
$4,000 This result has followed from his failure to make
application of funds which /, his duty to make
Mr. Buchanans deposition leaves Colonel Fremont stand
upon the official records which fix upon him the charge
beyond all possibility of escape.
The Tribune quotes with much satisfaction another
from Mr. Buchanans deposition in which he gives to
Col Fremont than his fair share Of the credit OF con-
queripg California. The extract is as follows:
Col Fremont, the defendant, In California at the
Of hostie between the United States and
the republic Of Mexico he there raised and commanded
battalion of California volunteers consisting of about four
hundred men; his services very valuabe he bore
conspicuous part In the conquest Of California, and IN any
opinion, better entitled 10 be called the 'Conqueror Of Cali
jornia than any other man."
tits evident that Mr. Buchanan in 1882 abored under
the same misrepresentation to the conquest of California
which prevailed throughout the country The truth of his
tory, however, this subject has been fully indicated
since Col Fr6monts nomination. and the process by which
the public mind had been mised has been thoroughly
posed In addition to the evidence have already fur
nshed this subject publish to-day another docu-
ment which will be read with interest
