The Fremont Claim,

Ihe MarlpOSa Gazette contains the pro-
ceedings of a meeting of the miners ,,nd set
tiers of Marposa and vicinity, to take into
consideration the "aggressions that Fremont
and his confederates are making upon the
rights and property of the settlers" A let
ter was read from j. E. Clayton, agent of
John G. Fremont, demanding possession of
certain works, outhouses, and machinery
now in possession of parties on the claim. 4
preamble and series of resolutions were pas
sed, from which we extract the following:
Resolced, That the rights and claims Of the
settlers and miners are prior and paramount
to those of John G. Fremont.
Resolved That in the event of John c.
Fremont, his confederates and subordinates
or any or either of them, attempting to in.
terfere with, molest, or eject any number. or
even one miner, settler, or resident upon
said land we do hereby solemnly pledge our.
selves to make common cause against him. or
them-for the plundering of one is that of
all, and blow at one, is an aim at each and
all, miners and settlers, upon said tract.
Resoloea, That permanent principal CON-
mitttee, consisting Of miners and settlers, be
appointed by this meeting, who shall appoint
a subcommittee of like number for each
mining settlement in said location, for the
purpose of organizing the people, and to
more etfectually oppose the aggressive, rapa-
cious aims of said Fremont, his confed crates
and subordnates.
On motion, it was Resolved, That no CON-
promise be made by miners and settlers with
John c. Fremont
They also aver that the manner of MAKING
the survey of this mammoth grant was secret
and clandestne-and that the requirements
of the grant could have been complied with
without approprating the greater part of the
richest and most populous portion of the
county. Look out for squalls in that quarter.
Poor ENoUGH.-The San Francisco Morn
ing call says.
Two communications were received by the
Board Of Supervisors yesterday, from gen
tlemen who absolutc y refuse to deliver goods
to the city unless they received the cash in
band. d. S. Lord & Co. gave as reason
why they refused to trust the city twelve
dollars worth of Stationary, they had al
ready credited the city, and when, they wish
ed to get their claims registered for payment
they were told they would have to wait five
years for their money. SiIas Fuller, coal
merchant, refused to furnish coal on the
same grounds. Their communications were
received and placed on file. "Alas, poor
ethyl" Instead Of being the guardian of pau
pers, it has become mendicant itself
kicked and cuffed from door to door, like
spendthrift who has exhausted his means
and friends.

sed the Senate. When it came into the
House the members were besieged by the
stockholders and directors of the company.
On the evening that the final vote was to be
taken the President of the Company appear
ed in the Assembly Chamber half an hour
before the session opened, and delivered
long harangue to the members. Two hours
after the vote was taken. The bill was de-
feated by a decisive vote. Again, in 1856,
the same act or one similar was introduced.
1t slept through the session and sleeps still.
This winter, we perceive by the proceed
ings of the Senate, that Senator Norman, of
Amador, has INTRODUCED a bill having the
same object in view. We wait with anxiety
to learn what will be its fate.
BY report made to the Senate in 1856,
we find it estimated from date there given
that this company compels the people of this
State to pay annually one million of dollars
for freight and passage more than they would
pay under reasonable rates and were fair
competition allowed. What would the peo-
pie of the Northwest say if the navigation
of the Mississippi were controlled by a veal
thy corporation, legally organized, with power
to fix its own tariffs? What would the peo-
pie of New York say if the navigation Of the
Hudson We're controlled in this manner!
We think the Legislature erred in allowing
Corporations to be formed for this purpose.
All that portion Of the act which refers to
navigation should be repealed. Leave navi-
cation free-put no shackle on commerce.
That our young State has been saddled with
this monopoly we regard as curse. If we
are to be heavily taxed, let our money 90
into the Treasury to pay our almost repudi-
ated debt, and not fill the Golfers Of proud
and insoent monopoly.
We call upon the Legislature to act upon
this subject at once. Among the many re-
forms needed this stands out in bold relief
Let there be no dodging the question. Let,
above all, those members who have free ticket
leave Of absence to San Francisco, show
their constituents, that while they travel free
they also vote free.
We call upon the press to express their
views on this subject. We shall speak here
after. For the present we close.

PoLITIcAL JokE.-The Union says, a cor
respondent writing us from MarysviJle, Jan.
9th, furnishes the following:
| heard good joke concerning pair of
office-seekers from the section of the State
called the Great North, and one of the party
is a member of the Legislature.
The gentleman who is not a member. ask
ed friend to draw up a petition to Broder-
lex for a certain Federal office, so that he
could have the petition signed by influential
CO Democrats. He was told that the peti-
ton must be sent to the President and not
to the King, but that he might get letters to
the mighty David. He went to Sacramento
with his petition and letters and there, in
comparing notes, the honorable member,
who was applicant for another Federal office,
discovered that he had pettien also to His
Royal Highness asking for a Federal appoint
ment. The honorable member was convinc-
ed of his error, sent another petition to the
same person to sign, asking the President
instead of King David.
The point of the joke is the truth of it.
AS matter Of course none of the parties
reside in this neighborhood, nor do they
come from this county.
