EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, SACRAMENTO
March 10th, 1858.
To the assembly:
| beg leave to call the attention of your
honorable body to the enormous amount paid
yearly for the transportation of prisoners to
San Quentin. The Act of May 18th, 1854.
defines the legal distances from each county
seat to the Prison. Since the passage of the
Act, so many Improvements have been made
IN the construction of roads, and in the facl-
tiles of travelling, that the distances have
been materially diminished Besides, think
1t will be found, upon examination, that the
grossest inaccuracies and irregularities exist
IN that law. Indeed, it cannot be considered
correct in any particular. As this is the basis
upon which the sheriffS are paid for the tran
portaton of prisoners, | respectfully recon-
mend that the actual distance usually travelled
be made the legal distance.
The Act of April 2lst, 1856, fixing the
fees for transportation of prisoners, allows
the sheriff seventy-fiye cents per mile for the
first convict and fifty cents for each Of the
Others whom he may convey at the same time
This is certainly eXtravagant and unreason-
able. With the present facilities for travers-
ing the State and reaching the Prison, in my
opinion, these fees should be reduced forty
per cent The amount annually appropriated
for this purpose is $500 A reduction Of
at least $40, 600 in the expenses of the Gov
ernment can here be made without doing the
slightest injustice TO any one. The Prison
has been very heavy tax upon the people,
and | think sound policy demands an entire
reform in this, as in other respects. The peo-
pie are no doubt willing to pay all the neces-
sary and proper expenses of Transporting
convicts to San Quentin, but it can scarcely
be expected that they wish to have their
money taken to enrich officials
The Act to which have referred Applies
to other officers as we'll as sheriffs but
have confined my remarks to the Prison
alone, as | desire this to staud as one Of the
proposed reforms in the expenses of that in
Sttution.
In my Judgment, this evil should be cor
rected at once, and | therefore respectfully
invoke the early action of the Legislature
upon it. JOHN b. WELLER.

ing Messrs. Buel, Heath, Marshal and Neb-

Important Decision.

BY reference to the following paragraph,
which we clip from the daily Bee, it will be
seen that the Supreme Court of this State
has made a very important decision in rela-
ton to the Fremont Mariposa Grant:
The claim Of j. c. Fremont, to ten leagues
Of land in the county of Marposa, was the
first one confirmed by the United States
Supreme Court, and patent was issued
therefor, more than two years since. The
Merced Mining Co. had settled on portion
Of the land as early as 1851, and have been
mining upon it ever since, and had made inn
proyemeEts thereon to the amount of $780,
600 In April 1851, Col. Fremont leased
the premises occupied by the company afore-
said, to one Boggs for seven years at a
monthly rent of 81 900. The lessee, Boggs,
brings suit to recover possession of the prem
iSes, and damages from the date Of his lease
The Supreme Court, Justice Burnett, de-
llyerng the opinion, decided yesterday that
by the laws Of Mexico the title to the miner
ais belonged to the nation, and were not con-
yeyed with the land-that the United States
succeeded to the rights of Mexico, and that
while Col Fremont's title to the land is valid,
he has none whatever to the minerals therein,
and that under the tacit regulations of Con-
gress and this State, every citizen or party,
licensed to work the mines, has q right to ex-
tract all the gold he can from the land en-
braced in Col. Fremont's, or any otherpatent.
Terry, G. j., concurs in the judgment and
doctrine, and Justice Field dissents.
Thus it has been established that foreign
grant holders cannot prevent persons from
extracting gold from these lands--that they
have no more right to the gold in it than any
outsider, and we cannot see what is the bene
lit of having grant to mineral land, unless
the owners can make use of the timber upon
it. This will be satisfactory to the mountain
men,
