Pico Claim.
SAN FRANcIsco. March Is, 1858.


Messrs Editors: Permit me to trespass
on your columns for the purpose Of replying
to the communication of " Cadmus,n which
appears in your issue of the 18th inst.
Pico's case was the first one decided by
Judge Hoffman under the ruling of the
! Supreme Court in the case of Fremont The
opinion is long and able and clearly and
distinctly sets forth the analogy between the
two cases Having read this opinion with
the greatest attention and care, think am
warranted in saying that the claim " will be
confirmed by the Supreme Court beyond a
doubt" In my humble judgment it is not
reasonable to hope otherwise.
Now, let us see, who are the third parties
contemplated in the 18th section of the Act
OF March Sd, 1851, &C. to ascertain and settle
the private land claims in the State of Cali
fornia," which Act presume Cadmus has
within reach.
The grantee and those claiming under him,
who are asking for confirmation of the
grant are one party the Government and
those claiming under il, aud who resist the
claim Of the grantee, are another party !;
who are the third parties clearly not the
settler, for his interest is identical with and is
represented by the Government. When the
grant is finally confirmed and patent issued
by the Government to the grantee, there is
an end to the rights of the Government in
that particular land. The third parties must
necessarily be persons who claim the same
land under an adverse title and as the Gov
ernment does not undertake to adjudicate
these conflicting titles the State Courts take
jurisdiction, Can the settler set up an adverse
title it the State Court Clearly not, for he
is barred by the patent, which is conclusive
evidence that the Government are not any
longer in interest. Consequently an adverse
title can only be set up by parties claiming to
hold under Spanish or Mexican grant, aud
not by parties claiming under the United
States.
1t will be perceived then that there is no
safety for the settler in the State Courts.
His only chance in this case is to prevent the
issuance of the patent on an unjust survey.
The settler must look at the whole case as Il
is, and not as he may think it ought to be, and
act accordingly. AMADoR.

Hastings was some fifteen years Governor of

over him. And when at length he returned to
England, she who was born under the Arctic
circle, had played the queen under the Tropic
Of Cancer, proved herself worthy to grace the
Court of Queen Charlotte, acted a conspicuous
part during the famous and protracted trial of
husband, whose alleged crimes are preserved
in the amber Of the immortal oloquence of Sher-

having been enabled through the iiberaltv of
the East India Company, to redeem his ances-

GOLD IN VERMONT.
MONTPEIIER- Nr

MONTPELIER, VT, July II.
Before leaving the city had heard rumors of
late gold discoveries in this county, but gave
them little credit Vermont has never been con-
sdered an aurferous State, though gold has oc-
casionally been found within its limits, Some
thirty years ago lump of native gold weighing
eight ounces was picked up in Newfane, town
near its Southern extremity, and small particles
have been found at other times In that region
in connection with talcose slate But no one
has supposed that any part of the Green Noun
tains contained the precious metal in any guam
tity. Says the State Geologist, Prof HircH-
COCK, in his last Report, made last October;
know enough of the rocks and minerals ofthe State,
to be satisfied that probably other portion of the
Union, Of equal size can make rich display Of
mineral wealth. ought, perhaps, to except some min
ing districts of the South and West; for although gold
occurs here, on belt extending probably through the
whole State, appearances am happy to saw, do not
lead us to expect to nd it in quantity sufficient to
break up the regular pursuits of industry and intro
duce the immoralities and recklesness usually seen
in rich gold producing regions. The leading subter-
ranean products of Vermont which are ineXhaustible
and will always be in demand at homo and abroad
are marble, serpenne, soapstone iron slate, granite
aud limestone for cement. Scattered as they are
through the whole length of the State and most Of
thom OF the fnest quality, they must always be
source Of wealth; not coming in iitfu waves like tho
precious metals, but in u steady stream, to reward
patient industry.
