tiers of Colusi and Tehama counties in his
favor, iS himself interested in Spanish

evidence is matter of record in the Clerks

grant, in contesting their rights to the land

of the State, will find z n. Lewis bring

that the original title has been strengthened
by passing through his hands in his specu-

his interest five days ago. And yet, we un.
derstand that. his small clique of retainers
whose success in law and business, depend
upon the elevation of Judge Lewis TO the
I bench Of this district, have busted them
selves in representing Judge Lewis as being
bic to the Settlers. Everybody knows
that he has been "Squatter" since his
residence in Oroville, for in one instance at
least. he was forciby elected by Major Ora
ham, for squatting upon lot owned by the
California Stage Company. This wire work
ing squad realizing their own weak ness and
ineticiency, have taken pains to induce the
belief that Lcwsis friendly to the settlers,
in the hope that by acting in double ca

and secure triumph at the approaching
election. We only desire to brand this
weak invention as bogus, and by informing

our county convention that.he. had ''no friend
but himself" We can youch for the truth
of his statement. Those who fancy them
selves his friends, are merely tools.
The Illegal and oppressive measures adop,
by Lewis against the citizens of Oroville, in
appropriating their improvements should
satisfy the Settlers. that the Lewis and his
plundering posse, are not, and never be the

position (fat of his back for sixteen years or
more. His joints are as stiff as though he had
never had any; he can move his head slightly,
can move his hands little, is unable to eat a
single mouthful, unless put into his mouth by
another person; is fat, very hearty and cheer
ful; and within the last two years has married
good looking and hearty girl, and is raising
family of children. The clergyman who
married this man, said he had some scruples
about it until he had a long conversation with
both the parties. He saw they were bent on
being married. The young lady stood by the
bed of the groom (she could not take his hand
for he could not reach it QUIT and they were
