j. c. FREMONT.
The word governor is italicized by us, and
needs not further comment. From the first
invasion of California by the American troops
a large portion of the leading citizens Of Cali.
fornia, among whom may mention Don Pedro
c. Carrillo, Don Jose Carrillo, Pedrorena, Cot,
and Cells, welcomed our troops with open arms
and willingly furnished material aid in establish
ing the supremacy Of our flag in the Eldorado
Of the West. In consequence Of their sympathy
in our success, any one processing to be the
agent Of our government could have obtained
the last dollar that any of those gentlemen
possessed; hence the facility by which "our
governor" was enabled to borrow this and other
sums from other individuals.
The claim Of Don Cot was not allowed by the
Treasury Department, and it was presented to
the army board, organized under the 9th section
Of the appropriation act passed August, 1852,
who on the 26th January, 1854, recommended
the allowance in full, with two hundred and
forty dollars additional for four months interest
at per cent. per month. Congress having
made the necessary appropriation, the claim
was allowed by the accounting officers Of the
treasury on the 3lst October, 1854, and was
paid on power Of attorney from Cot to Cor
coran a. Riggs, into whose hands the claim bad
passed.
The board was induced TO allow the claim,
not on account Of its legality, but from the fact
that Don Cot loaned the money believing that
it was for tne use Of the government Of the
United States, and the board thought it unjust
that he should be the victim Of his own patriot
ism, though he must doubtless have suffered
considerable loss in having it discounted.
Colonel Fremont was called upon but being
un,oilling or unable Tor at least neglecting so
to do) to show how the money thus borrowed by
him was applied tot the service Of the government,
it was charged to him upon the books Of the
department, and has remainad wholly unac-
counted for by him up to this time. On the
30th Of January 1856, claim was allowed
Colonel Fremont by the Secretary Of the
Treasury, and it was placed to his credit upon
the before mentioned debit against him, which,
being deducted, leave balance Of sl,9s6 81 Of
the $4,000 land interest) still unaccounted for

The undersigned certities that the governor
and com mmandant Of this Territory, Mr.. j. G.
Fremont, finding himself short OF resources for
the support Of the armed force which, under
his command, cooperated towards the paci6.
cation Of the country, solicited from various
individuals a loan for the object indicated and
the undersigned having been requested, through
the medium Of Mr. Charles Fugge, to furnish
provisions and cash, the accompanying con-
tract took place, the cash having been delivered
Immediately, without interest, for the term OF
eight months, and the cattle were to be de-
hvered when they might be wanted; it being
understood that the terms Of payment should
run on from the day Of the contract on ac-
count of the cattle being movable property,
which could not be consumed in two or three
months, and besides, was augmenting daily, it
chiefly consisting Of cows II is likewise ad-

tenant lst dragons; W. q. Sherman, Sd artil-
lery; and n number of others, all tending TO
corroborate and establish the authenticity Of
the papers, which ! omit on account Of the
space they would occupy. That there is evi-
.dence Of intention on the part Of Governor"
or Lieutenant Colonel Fremont to defraud the
government must be clear to every unpreju.
diced person who reads the charges, and the
opinion is strengthened when il ia known that
the charges were known to Colonel-no,
/" Gorerpor n--Bremon, and he has never
made any effort to disprove them. Unless
Washington sentinel., 1856-07-22

there was a consciousness of guilt, would not
any individual, however humble, have made an
effort to explain or disprove the charges? The
only effort on the part of Gocernor Fremont
that ever heard Of was threats in Washing
ton city to kill Governor Mason in California,
who, in laying the facts before the department,
was merely performing duty he, as an officer
of the government, was sworn to perform.
As "Governorp Fremont is the candidate
for the Office of President of the United States,
his official acts are public property; if merito-
rious, they should be rewarded and if discred-
liable, they should be made public. intend
to furnish additional proofs of the skill of the
"Governor" in financial affairs, though fear
that they will only give him additional eclat
with his party, leader of which (Ford, of
Ohio) lately boasted in speech that, lin 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
recognised Governor of California-that is, by
the Departments at Washington.
General Kearney arrested Colonel Fremont
in August and he was arraigned before a
court-martial, composed of the ablest officers
in the United States army, on the 9th Sep
tember, ls47, at Washington city, to answer
the following charges: lst Mutiny-ll spec.
fcations. I'd. Disobedence of the lawful COM
mands Of his superior oficer-7 specifications.
Sd. Conduct to the prejudice of good order and
military discipline-5 specifications. The court,
on the 3lst January, l848, found Colonel FIRE.
mont guilty on each Of the charges, and erery
one of the specifications. On the 10th Feb
rnary, l84S, President Polk, in pursuance Of
the finding of the courtmartial, dismissed COL
Fremont the service. The charges made by
General Mason, the successor of Kearney, were
received too late, or there would have been
fourth and .tth charge, for fraud and pecu-
laton. fitting subject for President
