IMPORTANT CAsE.-The Sacramento Union
has obtained possession of the decision of the
Supreme Court in the case OF Hart vs.. Bur
nett ct al, involving great landed interests
at San Francisco. 1t will publish it in a
few days Meantime it says;
We announce the following conclusions 10
which the majority of the Court, Justices
Baldwin and Field, have come in reversing
the decision of the court beow-Justice Cope
dissenting from the other Judges and hold
1 ing that the Judgment Of the Court below
| should be affirmed: First, that San Francis
/ co was, at the date Of the conquest and ees-
sion of California, aud long prior to that
| time. Pueblo, entitled to and possessing al
the rights which the law conferred upon
such municipal organizations. Second-That
such Pueblo had a certain right or title to
I the lands within its general limits and that
the portions of such lands which had not
been set apart or dedicated to common use
or to special purposes could be granted in
lots by its municipal officers, TO private per-
sons, in full ownership. Fhird-That the au-
thorty to grant such lands was vested in the
Ayuntamiento and in the Alcaldes or other
officers who at that time represented it, or
who had succeeded to its "powers and obli
cations" Fourth-That the powers of such
officers which had been conferred by proper
authority to make such grant, was not sus-
pended or changed by the war or by the
conquest Fifth-That the official acts Of
such officers, in the course of their ordinary
and accustomed duties and within the gener
al scope of their powers as here defined and
explained, will be presumed to have been
done by lawful authority Sixth-That these
municipal lands, TO which the city of San
Francisco succeeded, were held in trust for the
public use of that city, and were not, either
under the old government or the new, the
subject Of seizure and sale under execution.
Seyenth-That this property and these
trusts were public and municipal in their
nature and were within the control and SUI
pervsion of the State sovereignty, and tnat
the Federal Government had no such control
or supervision. Eighth-That the Act of the
state Legislature Of March, 1858, confirming
the so called Van Ness Ordinance, was le-
gal and proper exercise of this sovereign
power and that this Act gave full effect to
the provisions of that Ordinance, and vests
in the possessor therein described, as against
said city and State, a title to the lands in |
said Ordinance mentioned. Ninth-That |
the city of San Franeiseo-is the owner OF the !
municipal lands of the Pueblo,not legally dis
posed Of as hereinbefore explained; and that
her title is wholly unaffected by Sheriff s
sales under prosecution against her, so far as
those sales touch or affect the aforesaid Pue-
bio lands Tenth-Thot a defendant in eject
ment, holding such lands merely by posses
sion, may set up the invalidity of such sales,
or the plaintiffs title derived therefrom, to
iefeat the plaintiffs action. 1t becomes un-
important to notice any other points, for
hose already decided determine the merits
If this controversy. The judgdment is re-
versed, and the cause remanded

TIE ATTEMPT TO BUY OFF FoRNEY-The
following is the main portion of the testimony
of David Webster before the Covode Com
mittee, respecting the attempt of the Admin
istration to purchase the silence or support of
Col Forney, on the Kansas question
came to Washington Immediately saw
Judge Black, and he expressed great regret
at the course Col. Forney was pursuing on
the subject of the then state of affairs in
Kansas. lie said it was evident that if he
persisted in it, a breach would follow be-
tween him and the Administration, and pre-
dicted that in that event Col. Forney's bones
would whiten along with Wimot's on the
shores of Black Republcanism he wanted
Col Forney to give pledge, through the
columns OF his newspaper, that whilst the
! pending question was fair subject of differ
ence as between Democrats, it was never
theless aquestion to be settled within the
organization of the party, and that all good
Democrats would abide by the decision of
the party on that subject He wanted him
also, to say, that under no circumstances did
he (Col Forney) intend to become a Black
Republican. | asked if Col Forney could
then get the printing of the Post Office
blanks, and he said, Yes" l asked what
portion of it? He replied, "The whole of
it." The job, at that time, was considered by
Col. Forneys friends as worth $4,000. /
telegraphed over to Col. Forney that had
proposition which thought he could honor
ably accept and returned Immediately to
Philadelphia. As Judge Blacks and my
views agreed, advised Col Fornev to ac-
3 cept the proposition. lie Indignantly refused
, to do So and directed me to write to Judge
Black that il lifetime spent in the Demo-
cratic party, and in the advocacy of its prin-
ciples, was not a sufficient guaranty of his
q continued adherence to it. he had lived in
vain. ! did so, and added on my own ac-
count, that notwithstanding this was Col
: Forneys answer l thought it would be good
policy to give him the printing of the Post
c Office blanks, as the position was such a prize
that IT would accomplish the very result the
Administration required. l never received
@ any reply to my letter.
Q-Who was present at your interview
with Col. Forney, on your way to Philadel-
= phia A.-Col. Henry S. Magraw, who ap-
proved of Forney's answer and differed from
me as to the advice had given.
! Q'-LaYe you any knowledge of any prop

c secure him $4,000? A.-Only from having
heard Col Forney read the correspondence

fruit growing in Canada, considerably

Of raising fruit in high northern attitudes
is to protect the bole of the trees from
the afternoon sun. Nail q board against
the southwest side of the tree, to extend
from the ground up amongst the branches.
It. should be broad enough to shade the
tree from two until four % clock in the sf.

during those hours. Fruit growers also
