COSTA RICA.
TREATY BETWEEN COSTA RICA AKD
KKW-GRAN APA.
San Jonb (Costa Rica?, July 30, 1856.
I. my letter of the 4th ef June, I informed yog
Ukst 0>n. Hcrrao. the NewGrauadian tahtaHTT
accredited t?' the I'nited State*, had bee-n here for
aame time. endeavonug tet settle the long vexed
easeeticn ef the boundary betweou thii Republic
a*d that 4>f New Granada, and that h - instruc
Mobs were to offer a kind of compromise, by
which the territory claimed by C??sta Kit a should
be divided b. tw.. :. the two Republics. Cotta
Mica claimed her Ixiuiidary from Point Barica, on
the Pacific, to the south eastern extremity of the
Chiri"ui lagWtsnn ? territory known in old Span
tab dorunleatta an the Knudo dr. Veraguea while
Mew-Grsnada e-arried h? r limit* elear to the nor'h
?fthose laa-oema. and tnen i?f owe time aeaerted her
right to the whole coast 8k far north as (i revt.i wn.
Much acerbity of language was expended be?
ll* eea the two State a, and tbey mi^ht eerereJ
tiuies have resorted L> blows had they not been
aeparated by impracticable fordete, themselves in
the actual possession ol tribes of wild and warlike
Indian*, the deadly foe* of the Spanish name.
i 1 have now to intorri you that (Jen. Herran haa
eacceedid in hla mlaaioo, and that his compromise
hau b?en accepted. Henceforth the boundary be?
te... ii t osta Rica and .\cw-Granada, as set forth
a* the treaty Which he signed shortly before his
departure for the United States, is tobe an imagin?
ary line straight across the Isthmus, which gives
liocn del loro to C"sta Rica, Icaveethe Chiriaol
lagoems under fh.vereigiity of New-Granada,
whose boundary's, ou the l'acilic aide, carried
north to the mouth of one of the small streams
which empty into the Golfo Dulce.
The settlement of this boundary ijueation, other?
wise very unimportant in itself to all others exeept
the two contracting parties, receives a certain
degree ot Importal Od from the tact that it places a
great part of the claim of the American OOanpaDy
named, I believe, the '? Chiriqui Improvement
Ompany,'' who received their charter trom .Son
Granada, withiu the term, ry of Costa Rica I and
how tar the treaty has provided for the recognition
by Costa Rica of that claim I know not?nor
have I been able to discover; and when wt? con
aider how faithless these llispano-Atuericaii Gov?
ernments usually are, I should not be surprised to
bear that there has been no provision made.
The cholera still continues to carry off DOW and
then a victim. However, the Costa Kicana are
recovering somewhat from their panic, aid the
Government is making ? QCrgetJc efforts to be pre?
pared at the opening of the dry season for atriaing
% decisive blow, in conjunction with the northern
States, against Walker. Already theGuntemnlian
and llondureiiian forces are at Leon, where all the
discontented ot Nicaragua are flocking. Should
Walker not have been already destroyed by the
climate before the close of the rainy sen boh, you
may expect to hear of fatuous doings next Decem?
ber?perhaps November. In my letter of the M
inst. 1 mentioned that bis election to the Presi?
dency was cemsidered here as a eure sign of his
approaching fall, and that, in my opinion, be had
committed a fatal mistake. The ai.nabJ that
have been received Confirm thoroughly what I
have stud. Men (natives) who were bis (irm ad?
herents have left him, and s-vell the ranks of hit
?opponents; while others sti.l remaining uodar his
Command have become his secret enemies. It
a*as a rash step on the part of Walker, and cau
only be accounted for by bis ignorance of the true
character of the people he had to deal with. The
lNicaragiians hate fOTOtgBars?they are jealous
*v? n of their fellow-country nit n of the other States
?f Central America. So long as Walker acted
apparently aa an ally to erne of the parties e>f the
?State, be could be all powerful: but from the day
he threw aside the mask, and made himself
President, he could only expect to unite both
parties againat bim. The issue, I think, will
prove this.
Trade still continues very, very dull. The
prospects of tne coltee crop are good?on the
tree; for I doubt whether there will be hands
enough to pick the berry. The old estates will be
the sufferers.
NICARAGUA.
a rem Oer Owa Correenoodent.
Gkaxada (Nicaraguah August !?, 1858.
Two months ago, in Nicaragua, ever>tniug indi?
cated an approaching peace. The Costi R e ans
bad retired beyond the boundarj line of their own
territory, and the citizens of the in ire northern
States seemed peaceably dlspos?d; but now, there
aeems to be a certainty of more fighting. Wben
the late President Rivas fled from Leon be did not,
aa waa snpposed, go to Honduras, but retired with
eotue of his followers tei the city of Chinendegt.
There he remained until Gen. Walker's troops had
evacuated Lcem. When everything was clear, and
there was no possible risk to run, he returned, and
established an independent Government. If Gen.
Walker had kept Leoa in his poeaesiion, Riras
would, w ithout doubt, have gone out eif the couu
try . aa all Preaidenta have I.obliged t> do, du?
ring the last thirty years, in order to preserve the
connection between their heada aud birdies. What
Utere called elections here were simply fights be?
tween factions, which terminated in the conqueror
decapitating bis predecessor and proclaiming hlm
aelf the Chief Executive (it emght to have been
chief executioner) of the Republic. During these
Btruggle? for power, all who liwd iu, the <tiitri;t
?Lere the aspiiatit was most popular were pressed
into bis service. The minority were thus obliged
io fight against the person who vs.is. perhaps, their
favorite " if they were defeated, they were cruelly
oppressed by the person againet whom tan" fought;
rt victorious, those who bad been pressed were
treated with contempt, while the others were
allowed to domineer overall without control.
The Indians in thit country, and very many of
the half breeds, have no conception e>f the value of
the electeiral frauchise. All they appear to desire
is to be let aloue. It matters not to them w ho
??>verns sei long as tbey are permitted to continue
in a purauit of happiuess according to their own
notions, which consists in authorial in the morn?
ing as much maize or fruit as will satiety their
hunger for the day, and swinging the remainder of
the time in a hammock. Where Nature as in this
country, is td lavish in her products, it requires
hut very little effort to-obtain a* much as will sat
kaly ISM appetite, and gratifying their senses ap
pt SgTs te? DO the highest aspiration of the Nica
raguense. At the approach of an electiou here?
tofore, thane people always tied to the mount tint,
and remained thereuntil it was decided. If tbey
b hp petted to be presaed int?> the eervice of one of
the candidatee, they deserted at the first opportu?
nity, and allow ed those in w hom the Spaniard pre?
dominates to settle matters as best tbey could.
These deaertious generally happen on marches.
If they get into a nght. and are beare n. they dis?
appear in the woods, and canned: bo brought to?
gether fat a second engagement. Beetdea, tbey
have fought BO tang, aud gained so little that they
begin to be heartily tired of war, and for the sake
ol humanity these petty feud* ought to cease.

this step, apart from running his BBeafaltoDJtteeos

avaya warred against each other; and who, if left

When Gen. Walker came to this country there
was a civil strife between the Cities ef Granada
and Leon. Gen. Chauoro led u. Granadiaai;
On. Castillon headed the Leone?.'. Tat>j fi'Ught
for which should be eoasidered the first city m

endeavored to curtail the influence J?^?
^^.^^^^
?5e^^
The success of the citiel has been vario.ii. A
,ne t r?e Le-.n had .11 Nicaragua conquered except
he n " a .rd a few streets in Granada: at another
m J (iransda pushed her uctor.es to the very
bu.bsof Leo., itself. And U was Leon while
I Hoselv pressed, that invited General Walker
mto this county He *!th ,lU)-?'V
fnlv effected tie deliveranee Ol I., en. and tinally
restored peace to the entire country.
These people, that have so otten fought KgaJust
each other frith soeb hatred, are now armed un?
der different Generals In the same city. Goo.
Walker snows the prejudices the Genera1? enter?
tain BgafavSteach other: BO knows. too, what little
interest the natives take in the success of either
General, end thnt the tea* who are interested oa
either ride would just as lief cut each other's
throats as kill an American. A " masterly in?
activity" w ill therefore be likely to effect a-, much
for him ss an active campaign. Then is anathei
thing which, in DJ opinion, will help Gen. Walker
more than he probably anticipate-?cholera. The
natives are 10 filthy in their habits that there must
surely be a plague of some sort where many of
them are lor any length of time assembled.
When Gen. Walker left Leon there were about
five hundred native troops well armed, and I uu
dt rottiiid that there were arms also distributed
tin ong about one thousand men in the vicinity of
the < ity . There vv i re also several heavy pieces of
ordnance. These are all under iiivas s command.
After it became generally known that the late
President bad ?ptablisbeo an independent govern
inen?, nearly all the native soldiers deserted,
l ba re appt ared, however, no desire to keep them,
?8 they were considered almost worthless. Those
that have up to this time stood by him are not al?
ii wed tie countersign, nor to stand as guards at
Bs) important p< ?t. In addition to the regular
i ative soldiers iu Leon, it is said there are about
one thousand belonging t?> the northern Mates?
five hundred from Ban Salvador and five hundred
from Guatemala. All the forces are under the
con.maid of the San Salvadorian General, Don
Ramon BellOOO. The native troops in the city,
amounting to about 1,000, are under the command
of Gens. Ifcndei and Jerez. One General com?
mands the west side, the other the eastern side of
the city : the Allies have possession of the plaza
ami the church. There is said to be a continual
struggle between Mendel and Jerez for supremacy ,
end although in the morning they may agree to
bur] their differences, before night they are again
at swords' [mints.
With the character of Jerez I am not much
acquainted; but be is spid to possess much per?
sonal btavery, and. when in an engagement, much
coolness nnd tactical ability. His forte lies in his
executive poweT. He has not the ability to plan
or cot duct a campaign, Mendel 1 have often seen.
His appearance is most unprepossessing: be is
?bout tortv three years of age. and appears to be
ii tiile up of equal parts of Spanish and Indian, aid
exhibits, both in his face and iu his actions, the
worst traits of both. His only redeeming charac?
teristic is bravery, and this be possesses to an ex?
cess. He is said in be the most exptrt man in
('?ntn.l America in the use of the bin CO. Bence,
it the Americana and Dative troops tight, he will,
most likely, command the cavalry engaged on his
side. '1 be folk wing circumstance will probably
exhibit the character of Mendel better than I can
describe it:
A short time before General Walker wont to
I.eon, Mendel, with about one aundred native sol
diets, had been in one of the more distant Depart?
ments, where it was supposed some of the Servile
party were endeavoring to stir up the natives
against the Democrats. Finding that then was
no opposition, he begun to put on the most conse?
quential airs, and insulted the magistrates of the
villages through which be passed in the grossest
manner. In one instance, on entering a village,
he sent a courier ahead to proclaim his arrival.
Knowing that a great many women would be led,
by their curiosity, intei the plaza to see the sol
ejiits when they arrived, be ordered his men to
divest th? mserves of all their clot, ing before they
entered the public square, ami tens entirely naked
be paraded them bet?re all the women; and before
they could flee from a sight so unexpected, be
seised tne that pleased his fancy?who happen, ,!
to be a relative of a priest?ami rav ished her.
When remonstrated with upon such shameful con?
duct, be r?plied that be knew the purposes for
which the priest kept her, and, there fore, con?
fide red it no harm.
Mendel is simply a fighting man. When he is
not on horseback, and has no spear in bis band,
be is nobody . The prime mov er of the late defec?
tion was Mariana Salizar. He was one of the
richest merchants in the State, bad always hitler
to been a stanch Democrat, and was one of Gen.
Walker s filmest supporters when be first came to
this country. He was very ambitious, and aspired
to the Presidency. As he knew he could not eib
tain that position at present, or while Walker
remained in the country, he appears to have deter?
mined to raise such a storm about the latter
gentleman's ears as would compel him to leave;
and Lie plan certainly evinced much knowledge of
human nature, or at least of the nature of the
humans with wbom he had to deal. Be had the
tcpoii circulate d that Walker designed making
slaves of the pe-eq.le, and intended also to .abolish
their church. Thun working upon two great
springs to uctie.n?tear and prejudice?he suc
Cceded in making them take up arms. Hut there
j| considerable difference between taking up arms
and using them.
Put Saiizar is no more. He was captured by
Commose de Brissot in Fonseeo Pay on Monday,
,'uiy 28j brought to Granada, where he arrived on
Monday, the 4th of August, ami suffered death by
bt ing shot on the evening of the same ?Isy. 1 rom
the Sme of his capture until he hud an interview
with Get era! Waiker. which was early in the morn?
ing of bis arrival, be was almost sure that he
could buy himself off It is said that be offered
two hundred thousand dollars for his life; but
mono] cannot change Walker's plana, lie died
bl av?|y. \\ ben ai rcste-d, there w ? re found on hi*
person three hundred and nineteen dollars in cash,
and various important letters, the most interesting
ol which, at present, is one Irom the British Vicc
Coasul at Leon to Florentine Souci ^ua Miguel,
San Salvador.
It appears that Mr. Manning bus been blowing
hot and eoni with the same breath?endeavoring
to make Waiker believe he was I is (riend, and at
the seme tin e Hssisting his enemies. President
Walker immediately published h;s decree with
drawing bis exequatur of consulate.
It is a short, sharp print, and decisive, and. 1
should think forces England into some sort of an
acknowledgment Ol Walker's power.
Manning hus resided tuanv /ears iu Nicaragua,
and is vcty wealthy. He is'encaged as a general
merchant at Leon, and has the best stor* as Well
as the most elegantly fitted dwelling bouse in tha'
place.
As the other Central American Matea have de?
clared war atainst W alker, Nicaragua, in return,
has declared all their ports in a state of blockade.
'1 he natives are doing all in tbe r power to in?
duce W alker't men to desert tb? v offer .umis
sii r s at d high pay to private?, and t> free passage
out of the country to all who prefe r it.
A party of about thirty men, that eime here by
the laft steamer, for the ostensible purpoee of as?
sisting Walker, have, it is said, be<rn committing a
great many depre dations among the natives They
called thenieelvee on their arrival ' Texas Ran
gers," and requeste-d permission to form them?
selves into a mounted company. This privilege
was granted; they were airs furnished with horsea
and sharp's carabines at the expense of the
State. It is now supposed they came here as an
organized gang of robbers. If they are caught by
Walher'e men. they will be very likely to have their
uecka stretched.
As the annulment of the late electiona here may
have excited some discussion in the United Mate?.
I herewith Append a copy of the treaty from
which he takes hie authority:

but little ,l..ubt. and I will give you what I OOtV
?i'ler rnme ver\ good reasons for euch a conclu
si. n:
In the first place), the people ol Central America
are cenvinied tbat ao tar from GrOtb Walker's

c< uiitry. be seeks, by every possible means only
the aecompuahmont of his own self aggrandize?
ment Neither life or property are any louger ???
eure, lie had declared all the) ports of Central
America blockaded, with the exception of San
.luan del Noitfl and San .Inan de! Sur. On the Slat
of July, a small achomer that had been seized by
bixfl at Min ,Kan del Sur (though carrying Ameri?
can papers and colors;, left that port "armed and
equipped " and ran up to the Island of Tigre, in
the Bav of Foneeca, overhauling every inofTenaive
craft >.f wbateroT oat ion, taking front each what?
ever the ili-tinguisheil Commodore clime, and
finally i n the'..'?tb .luly. a small na'ive boat was
captured, on hoard of which Mariano Salizar, a
merchant belonging to Leon, was a passenger
tSce the Commodore's own account in the Xicara
cutrif oi the 9th inst. ). This gentleman waa
taken back to ""an .luau del Sur. ami thence to
Granada, where, without trial of any kind, he waa
inatantly shot? murdered would be the most prop?
er term. Now what was his crime' Why he
was a Leinene; one ofthat highly Democratic
people, as Mr. Walker has time and again informed
the world, to whom he joined himself by express
invitation. Had not President Rivaa sep?
arated himself from Walker, Mariano
Sali/ar would still lave been permitted
to conduct his peaceful, mercantile operations
unmoleated. But thin was not enough: for re?
venge in some bosoms ia aweet. On the if'th it
was discovered by Walker's spieR, stationed at
Masava. that some half dozen gentlemen ofthat
town were guilty of the crime 01 a love of country,
inasmuch as they expreased honest aympathy with
their countrymen, and openly wished success to
1 ?<?!? Patrick) Rivas. Forthwith apian waa laid to

thej, too, were shot. The Leooeeee are declared
traitors because they will not ki*s the rod. and
the (iranadinos because they have left their homes
in which ttoy could no longer live in safety. Near?
ly or quite one half of all the best real estate, of
Gmnada and the haciendas in its vicinity are de?
clared confiscated, Bolelj because tbe ownera
know that to return while Wa-ker rub s would be
ortain death. In this state of things it is n< t
strange that the people of Central America should
rise as one man to rid the country of a common
enemy.
Walker's own men were deserting upon every
occasion. Whole companies are ready to leave
him on the tiret favorable moment. Sickness,
port rty and death stare them in the face, while
ebolen ami yellow fever are steadily thinning
tb* ir ranks on all sides. Among the soldiers of
(Jen Walker'a army are now no natives: with a
very few exceptions the Niearaguana have for?
saken him.
ton have, doubtless seen the list of election re?
turns publish! il bj El Siearajjurnse, showing the
majority in each diatriet of the eutire Republic in
favor ot W aiker. There are some smart tninga in
that election list. For instance, the orderly
voting carried on within the lines held by Kivaa.
while every n.uchacho in the country knows, that
if there had been any one inclined to east a vote
in favor of Walker he would not have had the
courage to have dona it; and I kuow that if a
vote had been by any chance east for Walker
within the lines of Rivaa. when the ballot came
to the light it would have gone to the light, or into
the smallest fragments imaginable' Besides, there
hie certain majorities given in certain towns in
lavor of Walker more than quadrupling th* iuhab
itaiite, counting every man. woman, child aud
beast'
I have given >ou a few facta, although they do
not accord with the magnificent statements con?
tained iu the iSicuraauentr. The cause of patriot?
ism should never be retarded, and I certainly
would not deprive a patriot of the smnl'est laurel
to gain a kingdom. Put there is iu my poor judg?
ment as wide a difference between a patriot and
\\ illiam Walker as between anything genuine, and
its count* rleit. Look at lhe whole subject and make
jour own comments.
At this point, w here against my own inclination.
I have been compelled to stay several weeks longer
than 1 intended, everything jogs on about as usual.
Col. Kiaaey still "vegetates," but how is a aecret

is bot even a faint imitation of trade. The health
of the town remained good, but the sickly season

Bj the arrival of the steamer Granada from

The nomination ol Fremont and Dayton was re?
ceived with much enthmiaam in this State. There
have a! way I betn a few mtn here known as ataunch
Republic;.! s, and it waa snspecttd tha*. our bord. rs
coi'tuined many such. Put there was nothing b)
hriig thim out, wh ie many infkeucrs tended t.?
keep them in the quiet. Por nearly a jeir past, a
rmall club in thia city haa been laboring to kindle
the fire of Fri cdotn, btr. it has been able to do lit?
tle more ihan keep alive that sacred Ann*. B'-it
no sor-ncr were tbe names of Fremont and Dayton
proclaimed as the Republican nominees for Preei
dent and Vice President, than the shouts of exulta?
tion and anticipated triumph rang from th* peaks
of Shasta to the vineyards of Los Angelina, and
Fremont airiady seemed to be iu the Presidential
cbair.
A ratification meeting w ta called to aaaemble iu
the spacioua Musical Hall, which waa crowded
with a tbroag of cituena. none of whom could an?
ticipate the resurt. The itvst eaaguine of aa ei
pected t> tew bundred determined u?i frar!??'
voicea to be lifted up for the cauee. But when the
meeting rime to be organized, and a long li?t of
thirty or forty officer* announced, mauy of whom
had never been known in political life, while many
other*, had always been known aa prominent ad va?
cate*, of the old political partiea, the BJIMSM
multiturle gazed with amazement, and ebxid in
breathlem iu*pen*e awaiting tbe further proceed
inga. A* the speakers eaiue forward oue after
another, renouncing their allegiance to all other
organizations and pledging tbemeelveo heait and
aoul to Fremont and Freedom, the multitude caught
up the feelings of the speakers, and were carrn-d
away by a torrent of enthusiasm auch aa I have
rarely witnessed.
Among thoae v? ho addressed tbe meeting waa
Judge Tracy, who apologized for the aingular po?
sition in which he found himself, having for many
years occupied the stump as a chief worker for
the Democraticporty. Ife was followed by Judge
Bennett, a cr. laborer of 1 racy, w ho spoke of his
midnight tramps in former years through the eanda
to the Miaaion Doloree, organizing tbe Democratic
party. Mr Nunes. formerly ot" Philadelphia, arata
a'so in Uie same category, and spoke of bis former
labor* in Pennsylvania, side by side with .lames
Buchanan, on the same stand with him. Mr Fix?
ity had been a leader of tbe old Whig party and
tht n a zealous working man among the Know
Nothing*. The Hon. Wilson Flint, of the State
Senate, had been elected by the Democrats, and
afterward joined another party which promised
relerm, but being disappointed by both, be now
embarked witb zeal in the cause of Fremont and
Liberty. And thus the tire was kept up till a late
hour. whin Ir was with difficulty the people were
induced to adjonrn.
Clubs have been formed in the city and country,
and the work is going on with steady, and to all
appearance resistless force. Among others I am
astonishid with the aspect of the queation now
prest nted in California. I never dreamed of i b
taiuing a decided vote for Freedom in thia State,
on the naked question. But the face of thinga is
cbaiged, and 1 now look for a decided majority in
favor of Fremont and Dayton at the coming elec?
tion.
Our enemies do not attempt to disparage the
candidate*. Their policy ta to ineoleata th* i.'ea
of a dissolution of the [ niofl as a necessary result
of tie election of Fremont. Thia is almost their
only argument. Many of them appear to believ e if
? especially that claaa of men who are in the
habit of threatening to dissolve the Union if they
cannot have their own way in everything. The
more men love the Union the less tbey have to say
about its dissolution. The cry in stale. We have

Bam FsamciscOi Aug. ?>. 1856,
The CalUbrnia edition of your paper received by
the lust mail contains a graphic description ? f one
of Frtu.ont a expeditions in tbe conquest of Cali?
fornia. Tre staten enta therein made respecting
the claima of Gen. Vallejo for horses and mules
tuppl ed to Fremont, have auggested some facta of
a similar character, to which I beg leave to call the
atfi ntion of your readere.
In the war which resulted in the occapancy of
California by the American forces, it was the cus?
tom of the invading army to tike from the native
population whatever was needed f >r aubsitenee, or
for tbeir military operations, in return for which
tbe commanding officer gave a Certificate of value,
in the form of a certified bill. If the Americana
wanted beef, they had nothing to do but alaughter
the 6rst bullock, telling the farmer to make out
the bill, which was duly attested and returned to
him. In this way a large amount of claims against
the United States Government accumulated in the
bands of the native California!)*, many of whom
were favorably ilispoaed to the Americana. The
honor of tl e nation thue became pledged for the
pay DM nt of tbcac claima. Horses and cattle were
in those days, before the discovery of gold, tbe cur
n ncy of the people, many of whom lost nearly all
their available wealth in supplying the wants of the
invaders) The bills w hich they received in return,
were new to be converted into cash. For this pur
m aetbey must be forwarded toWaabington and only
investigated by the proper authoritice. The origi?
nal holders, being unable to attend to the business
iu person, were forced to employ agents, or to aoll
their claims to Americana. As the credit and faith
of the Government were fully pledged for the pay
inert, there vn? no difficulty in fiuJing purchaaera
among our citiaeaa
An act waa pnssed by Congress making an ap?
propriation to meet these claima, and also appoint?
ing a Board for tbeir examination, of which, I
believe, the Secretary of War is chairman, to
decide on their validity and legality. The claim?
ants filed their original papers and vouchers, and
in eases where the Board decided tbat the proof
was not sufficient, they have refused claimants the
privihgeof withdrawing the pap*r? for additional
proof. This has operated as a great hardship on
those who have no copies of the papers submitted.
Under these circumstances, Mr. Weiler of Cali?
fornia, on the lVth of February, Ik'^J, introduced
in tbe Senate a joint resolution, " authorizing and
"diiecting the Secretary of War to furnish, in
" certain cases, verified copies of certain paper*
" filed hefi re the Board lor I lamination of Claima
" contracted in California under Lieut.-Col. Fre
" mont." 'I bia was referred to the Committee on
Military Affairs, and reported back to the Seaate
the next day witbout amendment. Since that time
nothing has been heard of the resolution. It is
probably on the table of the House, if it has ever
bet n introduced there.
The prices charged for horsea and mules taken
by^ Fremont were, for hors.es $80, and tor mtilea
$50. Put the Board have reduced these amounts
to $50 and $:'.o: perhapa by way of set off to
at arly ten years of delay in payment. Kven these
sums the claimants are unable to get' That nearly
tin years should have elapsed without the pay.
rm nt for property forcibly taken from the peace
cable and unoffending inhabitants of thia country,
by United States officers, tor the use of their (for
eminent, la disgraceful to our na*ional character.
Such a vjolafion of good faith by an individual
would brand him as a knave.
It appears to have been the purpose ot the pres
ent Administration to throw every obstacle in the
way of tbe settlement of these claims. Whether
there is, at this precise jun.-tuie of the Presiden?
tial question, any particular deaign in the delay, is
a subject for conjecture. Be thia aa it may, no
injury can be done to Col. Fremont, w ho ia en
deared beyoi d all price to the eariyaattlera of this
state. Californlaaa are not so stupid as to hohl
him accountable tor the almost, it not quite fraud?
ulent procrastination.
A few of the claima in question have been paid,
through the exercise of persoial influence at
Washington. Among them is that of Gag, Vallejo.
who lost hi* entire stock of horses and mules.
But it is probable the claim of Vallejo would have
shared the fate of the others, if it had not passed
into the hands of influential parties at the seat of
Govert nie nt.
If the course of our Government in this matter
is ret mean and dishonorable, then I am ignorant
ot the meaning of those word*. Instead of coming
b rward with promptness and alacrity, as any pri?
vate citizen would feel bound to do, in common
honesty, we obaerve the moat vexatioue and it:'er
u inal le delay lorm year to year; the iutepnaiti ot
of every possible difficulty, the entring down of the
suma claimed by two-thirds of the amount, aud
after all this, no possibility of a settlement u niese
by tbe agency of individuals employed at great
expense to press the suit, and to importune our
public men to do a amall portion of their sworn
duty. _
