gE Col Fremont was warmly recei we'd
on his recent arrival in California, especi

letter says:
"Deputations from the various town

residence, and the more enthusiastic of
them took his horses from before the car
rage, and with shouts of exultalion drew
him to bis house. Boufires were kindlcd
on the mountain top, quicksilver TASKS fiji

friend had come among them again. Judg

have been CRAFTY ing to Col. Fremont
The court "Aiyh decided against him is
composed Of three judges. At he time OF
the decision, the chief justice was confined
to his bed. This, however, did not deter
him from writing and sending protest a

ment when he was elected U. 5. Senator
from California; the other is a squa}ter up
on the estate. These facts being made
known, the court was at once appealed o,
asking a re hearing. This was granted,
and in all probability ere uow, the toiner
decision has been reversed.
