'The New York Ledger*
BT TBB BARD Or TOWBB BALL.
Horace Gresly, Bennett, Raymond—
Spread the news from pole to pole—
Like “ the three wise men of Gotham,
Have to sea gone In a bowl
But the bowl will not be broken—
It is one that’s very strong—
And no frailness of the vessel
Will curtail our truthful song}
For the bowl whloh they’ve embarked !n
IS, where’er the son does shine.
Known as Bonner’s New .York Ledger,
And all hearts to it incline.
It is freighted well with spirit.
And its brAnd is “ Go ahead.^
Lo. the bowl4s steamed up with it,
And all others it has led.
It hbs bossy’s trtae spirit—
The exhileratiog kind—
That which gushes, rainbow tinted,
From the fountains of the mind,
its Intellectual viands
Most all eploure’s elate :
They can choose the most substantial
Froih the 6*Jt man Evcr-atr.,
And can easily digest them—
On the stomach they’ll not lay
To the minds of those partaking
They will ever find their way.
Golden grains has Benner in it,
And most strange the faot appears,
That from one great Cobb he shells thorn;
Yet they fill nnnnrobsr’d ears.,
And wit’s diamonds are furnished,
The Brave Bonner’s Bowl to gem;
His supply is most abundant—
He hae Saxe quite full of them.
It haa e’er been well provided,
From the streams of thought, with fish—
By a Bennett they’ve Seen-netted
For many a luscious dish.
It haa also choice confections,
Both of fanoy and of fun;
Made up of the King’s English,
Which is by one Thomas done!
It has a gem-bright cabinet,
One with pearls of thought inlaid ;
Though constructed by a Prentice,
He is perfeot in his trade.
Arrows from the bowl are speeding
To the breast of virtue’s foe—
They are truth’s unerring arrows,
And a* Wallace draws the bote.'
It has, with wisdom glowing,
Directions for life’s journey.
By one whese mind has laurel’d
The honored name Sigourney !
There are In it Bontfaworth' jewels,
With • value not confined
To sunny South, North, Bast, or West—
They have worth for all mankind!
Fragrant leaves it has in garlands.
And all minds are pleased with them:
They are ever fresh—the Fern Leaves
With a Fanny for a stem!
There’s a song bird perched within it—
A lark—not a canary—
It’s place is not precarious—
Although it is a Cary,
There are ready writers in It,
Whom I have not Bpace to name :
Those whose praise will yst be sounded
,By the thrilling trump of Fame.
On the Literary Ocean
Smoothly floats the freighted bowl,
And a port'no craft has entered ,
It is seeking as a goal!
And with Bonner to direot it
There is not a doubt at all
That he’d reach it if he’d with him
Bennett’s Bard of Tower Hall;
For half a million passengers,
Now sailing In the bowl,
Would have something then to suit them,
Both In body and in soul.
For the body, Bennett’s clothing—
Not a man would do without it! <-
For the soul, the strains poetic
Of the Bard who sings about it!
All persons in want of Winter garments should by
closing «n towards Tower Hall, whore BENNETT A

Bead the following from Miss Brenter}s Preface:.
“lam tired of the old story of lover’s sighs, hopes,
torment#, quarrel#, reconciliations, fascination,* and
happiness or despair. I am tiredof writing about them,
as if tbe romance of life had not something more beau
tiful, something higher. I will at this time speak of<
those primary causes—one whloh existed before any;
lover’s sighs ascended from earth, inasmuch as a Fa
ther’s love looked down upon Its first child, and whlch
will remain when they have all ceased. It is of this 1
I will now write.
“ I took with me the Idea ef this story .when Hast'
left Sweden t the inspiration for it I first obtained in a
land where, under shelter of the tree of freedom. I sa*
the relationships of family life develop themselves in
their full beauty and power. Most of the characters
and ooourrenoes which I have here portrayed are taken
from real life. I have named my heroine afteT tyro
young women early perfected, and for all too early gar
neredby death, the pride and heart’s joy of their fa
milies—tbe Swiss Rosa Neville and the Italian Rosa
Ferrucoi, because the Swedish Rosa has been modelled
from them; yet not alone from them, for the original
is » Swedish maiden; but she still lives, and I may not
speak of her by name,
“ To Her,
“ Whom I may not mention by name,
“IS this, my Book, “
“ Affectionately dedicated,

It only remains to add that Mrs. Howltt’s translation
Is executed with her usual grace and skill. ”—Daily

The Popular Sovereignty of James 'Bu
' chanan. ’ - , '
The following is'copied iromthe Washington
Union , the organ of the present Administration:
Speaking of “popular sovereignty” or “the
right of the people to establish their own insti
tutions of government; subject to the Constitu
tion of the * United States,” the editor of the
Washington' Union comes out boldly, and declares
in effeot that the people are not to be trusted—that
they are their own worst enemieß—not fit for self
government—no safer than the wild beasts of the
prairies; and this is the Leoompton Democraoy we
must all subscribe to or be turned ofit of the party.
But let the organ speak for itself:
“ The people of tbe Territories ate now declared
to be as free as the wild buffaloes or antelopes of
the prairie to exercise the attributes of popular
sovereignty without any sort of constitutional re
straint, at their qwn arbitrary pleasure and with
entire abandon. '
. v“ The tondefiov Rppublios has been to the
gradual accumulation of arbitrary power in the
hands of the popnlaoe, at the expense of the con
stitutional right of individuals' and minorities.
History teaches that when all barriers against
this arbitrary power of the popnlaoe have dis
appeared, the change from the ilekle despotism
of tbe many to the more steady and con-,
Bistent despotism of a single diotator, haa suc
ceeded as a natural result, and been accepted
by ,the governed as a relief and a blessing. Popu
lar government has arrived at the brink of de
yruction when the laws'are repudiated, Ootistltu
tiODs are spit upon, and the arbitrary sovereignty
ofthepopulaoe inaugurated* for the next step
from popular license, historical progress of,
government, is to the diotatorahipof a single popu
lar favorite or master of men. Muohjs'said of le
gislative usurpation, and of.judiolal usurpation;
but more dangerous than all to free government is
_popniar.usurpation; for when onoe the despotism
of the popnlaoe Is established by the overthrow of
laws aqd'Oo'nstltutionsVit is but a Question of time
’bow lone before the people will seek escape, from
]tho intcJorabJo despotism of the multitude to that
of a slngle tyrsnt, whose neok at least is responsi
ble for-outrageous misfeasance.” ‘
Thomas*Jefferson advooated the right of tbe
majority to govern. He said “ eternal vigilance
is the prise of liberty ” —that “ power is alwaytj
stealing from the many to the few but the
Union, says this is all false, and that the reverse
Is true; that “ the tendenoy of all Republics has
boen the gradual accumulation of arbitrary
power in the hands of the popnlaoe;” that the
despotism of the many is fickle, while that of a
Blngle diotator is “ more steady and consistent .»*
If true, then down with the fickle people, and up
with a “ single diotator,” as “ 'more steady and
consistent,” “as a relief and a blessing.” “ Le
gislative and judioial usurpations ” are nothing
Compared to the “moro dangerous popular usur
pations.” The exorciao of the right of suffrage,
it seems, is now a dangerous usurpation, ns it has
lately overwhelmed this usurping Administration,
and the Union says* it is now but a question of
time when we shall “ escape from the intolerable
despotism of the multitude to that of a single
tyrant.”
SuQh, says the official organ, are to be the con
sequences >of -“popular sovereignty,” orthe
right of the people to vote on their own domestic
Institutions, subject to the Constitution of the
Uqited.States.” The people are their own worst
enemies—better let the President and the Su
preme'Court rule, for the government of a “ single
diotator,” we are told, is “ more steady and con
sistent” than the “fickle despotism of the popn
l*oe.” Is not ibis beautiful Democracy ? It
xrid for refaring to adopt this doctrine and main
taining the doctrine of “ popular sovereignty ”
that Douglas and his followers were read out of
ths Leoompton party. Who will or who dare
dofiy this 7 In faot, a leading member did not
hesitate todeolaro on the floor of the Senate that
“Constitutions being made for minorities ought
to be made by minorities.” Will the Adminis
tration stand up to this dootrino thus boldly pro
o!.*4med by the Union, that the people are not to
bbtauted—that they are not fit for self-govern
.wvinfc—that a “ single diotator ” is better, “ more
steady and consistent ” than popular sovereignty,
or, as the Union haa it, “the fickle despotism of the
many Will they stand up to this, or will they
booh out as thoy did when the Union latoly do-
Olarod that all laws against slavery, “ organio or
were unoonstituHohal 1 and void—that
-therefore protected every where' by
.the‘ Constitution of tbe United Btates? When
this bold position of the organ was exposed they
took it back as premature, os we now prediot
they wilt take b&ok or explain away this bold ami
monarohioal assault on “popular sovereignty.”
Jefferson.
RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE.
• Odr National Capital, we are glad to learn, Is
manifesting signs of religious interest. We see It
stated, by newspaper correspondents, that two
daily prayer meetings hare been kept up with
tolerable attendanoo for several months, and they
are said to be characterized with a thorough union
spirit. One member of Congress Is reported to
have miogled In those meetings for worship, and
asked the prayers of Christians in his behalf, who
now, with a newly-begun life, frequently partici
pates actively in the devotional services. What a
field of missionary labor that member may find
among his brethren, if all the reports and rumors
from Washington, respecting the vices and un
ohristian praotioos whioh there prevail, be oorreot!
The Bervioes now held regularly every Sabbath, in
the hall of tho House, are spoken of as unusually
solemn. The tendencies to a deeper interest in
Divine things among tho heterogeneous population
of tho Fedoral Capital, oannot bub exort a salu
tary influence, and should bo fostered by the
churches to the utmost of their ability. We may
state, in this connection, that the long-talked*of
“ Metropolitan Church,” in Washington oity, has
found a munificent friend, who, by a donation of
twenty-five thousand dollars, has plaoed the enter*
prise beyond further contingency.
Mors of tbs Revival on board tiib North
Carolina. —For eight months prayer meetings
havo been held regularly on board the United
States receiving-ship North Carolina, and through
whioh it is estimated that no less than two hun
dred persons have been converted- Within the
last month about forty men on board the vessel
have been received into church fellowship. On
Sunday lost twelve more sailors were baptized at
the navy yard, and added to tho First. Baptist
Church of Now York. The rite of baptism was ad
ministered In the slip opposite tho North Carolina,
in sight of the ship’s entire company—some eight
hundred sailors—after whioh the Lord’s Supper
was oelebrated on board, the pastor being assisted
in the services by tho ohaplain of the ship.
Annual Report of thb Home Missionary
Socibtt. —The twonty-third annual report of tho
sooioty has just been received. Tho contribu
tions to the funds of the sooiety have materially
fallon ofT as oompared with last year, whioh is
certainly a little romarkable, if not indeed cen
surable, considering that last year was less pros
perous, and the demandß by other oharitable asso
ciations muoh greater. The amount of disburse
ments during 1858 was $6,205 02, and the balanoe
remaining in the treasury, December 15, 1858,
was $4. 87. The number of families visited and
relieved during the year, given in the report, Is
2,070, of whioh 950 wero of foreign birth, 830
white Americans, and 290 eolored. Of the whole
number, 182 claimed to be Episcopalians, 183
Presbyterians, 196 Methodists, 121 Baptists, 283
Roman Catholics, and 1,125 members of no ohuroh.
; During tho year, also, 70 malo and 32 female
children, from three to sixteen years of ago, have
beon plaoed in permanent homes, in tho Country \
and 11 malo and 14 female adults have been fur
nished employment in the oity.
St. Peter’s Cnuncn. —Slnoe tho fine architec
tural improvements made upon the oxterior of St,
Peter’s (German Catholio) Ohuroh, oorner of Fifth
street and Franklin avenue, whioh we took oooa
sion to’ notice a short time since, a statue of St.
Peter, modelled after the one at Rome, has been
plaoed in one of the niches in front of the edifioe.
The figure is made of Aoadia freestone, and is
seven feet four inches in height; the keys in one
hand, and in the other a scroll, with the inscrip
tion, “Thou art Peter,” «fcc. We learn that a
statue of St. Paul, of similar size, will soon bo
raised to a contiguous nioho. Tho ohuroh is also
soon to bo adorned with a statue of tho Immaou
late Conooption, of Carrara marblo, oxeouted by
Renters.
The Cause op FonciaK Missions was presented
in soyeral of our ohurohes on lest Sabbath, and
collections taken in behalf of that great spiritual
enterprise. In the First Reformed Dutoh Church,
a sermon was proaohod in the morning, by the
Bey. Dr. Soudder, of India, and the oolleotion
succeeding it amounted to near three hundred
dollars. At the Groen*street Methodist Episoopal
Churoh, where the subject was presented by the
Bey. Dr. Durbin, the eolieotions during the day
exceeded a thousand dollars; and at the Trinity
Churoh, Eighth street, (Rev. Franklin Moore’s,)
the liberal sum of five thousand dollars was con
tributed in behalf of this Christian objeot.
Mr. .Spurgeon.—Mr. Spurgeon, for the first

New and Important Inventions*
LETTERS OF DR. MUTTER AND DR. PALMER.
Oar townsman, Dr. B. Frank Palmer; whose pa
tent artificial leg has given him world-wide oele
brity, haa.now patented still more important and
ingenious meehanism for another olass of the un
fortunate, who have long waited for this happy’
application of his inventive and artistic skill.
Wo allude to tho artificial arm and hand, for
whioh two patents have been granted, (one for an
arm applying above , and the other below the el
bow,) and whioh inventions have engrossed the at
tention of Dr. Palmer during the last ton years,
involving much intricate thought and many tedi
ous experiments.
Tho simple announcement of these triumphs of
Dr. Palmer’s inventive genius is sufficient to in
sure the attention of scientific men of the country
and the world. The reputation of the inventor is
justly regarded as aguarantee for unequalled util
ity and beauty in suoh mechanism. This faot is so
generally appreciated that several hundreds of
applications for arms had been made to Dr. Pal
mer prior to the issuing of the patents, whioh was
the highest compliment possible. ,
The value of Dr. Palmer’s inventions may not
be'estimated fully except by the mutilated, yot
when we Btato that there are more than fifty
thousand persons in the United States who have
lost legs or arms, and that • his various studios are
the only places in the world at whioh suoh

of perfoctipn i; Uie reader will gain some idea of
their, the extent of the business.
The number of persons who have already applied
for the “Palmer leg” exceeds ten thousand ,
though many are not yet able to avail tfiemselves
of Its benefits.
Dr. Palmer has sevon important patents, secu
ring tho exolusive right of making and selling his
arms and legs in this eonntry; also in England,
France, and the Canadas. Theqe, with such a
business reputation and connection as,was se7er
before established, mußt secure to him an ample
fortune. Dr. Palmer publishes a journal entitled
“ The Bane and Antidote. A Surgical Adjuvant
and Reporter of Artificial Limbs.” We'have just
received the number for January, 1859. It con
tains forty-eight pages of matter, embracing the
new rules for amputating, whioh the author has
been influential In establishing, and whioh are
now observed by the first .surgeons. We notioe
that the great work on Surgery, by M. Velpeau,
(tho first surgeon ofjParls) j recently published with
notes by Prof. Georgo 0. Blackman, contains five
largo pageß copied from Dr. Palmer’s artloles on
amputations and artificial limbs. Thus the in
ventor appears also as the author of a publication
highly important to the profession, and whioh he
was the first to establish.
There are numerous unsuccessful imitators of
these important inventions, as will always be the
oase when a really valuable, original article is
produced; but when we say that Dr. Palmer has
no successful rival, we only repeat what has be
come an historical foot, endorsed by the medical
profession in this country and in Europe, also by
the army of the mutilated, as will appear by
reading a recent letter of the very eminent
surgeon, Prof. Thomas D. Mtltter, to whioh we
give plaoe below, with the reply of Dr. Palmer:
Philadelphia, Deo 14,1858.
Mr Dear Sir ; lam really very muon grati
fied to find that your ingenuity' and perseverance
have at length accomplished what the profession
basjro long waited for in vain—a useful Artificial
Hand and Arm. The models yon snowed me the
other day appeal to accomplish every indication,
and are worthy companions to your unequalled
“ Artificial Legs ” After many years observation
of the working of the latter, I am oompelled to re
peat, what I have already expressed in writing,
that neither In Europe nor America is there an in
strument of the kind, in my judgment at least,
worthy of comparison with them
Trusting that you will continue your efforts to
relieve your afllioted follow-creatures, I remain,
very sincerely yours, TnoifAS D. Mutter,
Emeritus Prof, of Surgoryin the Jefferson Medical
College, Phila.
B. Frank Palmer, Esq., eto. etc.
Philadelphia, Deo. 14,1858.
My Dear Sir : Since you have evineed, in
many ways, daring tho last twelve years, a high
estimate of my humble labors in an important de
partment of soienoe and art, which had been long
neglected, both by the Surgeon and meohanioian, I
cannot refrain from oxpressing to you, at this time,
the gratitudo whioh I feel for the kind and effi
oient manner in whioh you hnvo, commended my
inventions to public favor.
1 do not hesitate to say that, while I have every
where met with a kind reoeption, (as my inven
tions have been well appreciated, both at home
and abroad,) yet no surgeon in Amerioa has aided
me somuob, professionally, os yourself; and none
in Europe so muoh as your friend and oompeer, Sir
Benj. C. Brodie, to whom you gave me suon an in
troduction os insured a kind reception by this most
eminent of European surgeons, when Xwas in Lon
don in tho year 1851.
When yon first encouraged me to proceed in my
peculiar labors, I had made only three artificial
limbs. I have now made a number of thousands.
This statement will not. afiord you utimingled
pleasure; for lam aware that you always folt the
foroe of the remark whioh you so often made to
your olasses, that amputation is, at best, “ the
bane of the profession.” I hope that no surgoon
will forget this important troth, or ever ampu
tate a limb till prepared unhesitatingly to say,
that if It wore his own it should be removed at
the time, and %n the manner whioh he proposes
for his fellow-sufferer.
The statistics of my professional labors show an
alarming sacrifice oLnuman limbs; and I may
say that I have had olreot or indirect cognizance
of more than ton thousand mutilations of the
kind. It is an alleviating thought, however,
that the methods of amputating at the "new
points of election” have done muoh, rocently,
to assist my labors in mitigating the ulterior suf
ferings of the mutilated. ,
The invention of the arm and hand, whioh I
commenced about ten years ago, you then encour
aged me to pursue to completion; and in all
of the intervening time I have been inventing
and experimenting, until, at last, I have reached
the result whioh you now so cordially approve.
The valuablo letter, whioh you, have voluntarily
forwarded, gives me feelings of pridemingled with
pleasure, as your extensive knowledge of suoh
mechanism, gained in this oountry and in Europe,
givos tho utmost weight to your testimony.
Hoping to merit your future approbation in the
pursuit of my professional oalllng, I remain your
sincere friend and very obedient servant,
B. Frank Palmer.

slanderous reports circulated by interested par*

reoently found their way, .with an apparent semi’

they deein'it due to themselves to publish the fol-

establishing the' 'genuineness 6? the document.
They als*\ prove the’ genuineness of the
signed by CaatUlero, and constituting, us de
noundemf nt.of the mine, as discovered and opened
by him tinder the miping.ordinanees. These wit
nesses prove that, all. these papers were executed
at the time of tbairdate, ,an 4 7io attempt has''
been made to impedek tnese'jdntriessfs. . ‘ ' ' ‘
In the Month*of April and ’ May! 1846,, Cestfl
lero yros in tho oity .of Mexico, having gonoxftero
with, specimens - of. Cinnabar, taken from the;
mines in his possession.'* -These specimens,, to
gether with an application tor Government aid to
assist him in working and developing his mine,
were laid beforetheJunta.de Minena/(Mining
Commission.)
That body, impressed with the national Impor
tance of the discovery, immediately, transmitted
the specimens to the College of Mines for Assay;
the specimens were analyzed' by the professor of
the college, and a report made, -establishing them
to be of extraordinary purity and richness; and.
on the receipt of this report, a formal petition was
presented by Castillero, stating at length his claim'
for aid from the Government, and accompanied by
nine distinot propositions, the . seventh of which
sought the approval by the Supreme Government
of the mining possession given him by the local
authorities of California, and the eighth, a grant*
of two square leagues of the land surrounding tbe :
mines. ‘These papers were forwarded by the Mi
ning Commission {Junta de Mineria,) with a re
commendation to grant the .mining application in
all its parts, (but with an exception from this re
commendation, of the grant' of- two leagues of
land, the commission stating that each subjects
were not within their jurisdiction, and, therefore,
declining to. give an opinion on it.) Tbe report
and documents thus received by the Minister of
Justice from.the Mining Commission were by him
laid before the President of the Republio, who ap
proved, in'allits parts, the agrtement proposed by
Castillero, and aooepted by the Mining Commis
sion, and also ordered the proper documents to be
Issued for the grant of the two leagues. ’
This approval of the 'President was communica
ted by: the Minister of Justice to the Mining Com
mission onthe 20th of May, 1846. On the same
day, the same minister addressed to the Minister
of Foreign Relations a communication embodying
a oopy of the letter of ,th« 20th May,.1846, to the
Junta de Mtneria, and stating that the Presi
dent bad thought proper to accede to a grant of
two leagues to Castillero upon the land of his
mining possession, and directing the proper order
to be issued.
On the 23d of the same month, Castillo Lan
zas, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, addressed a
communication embodying, the foregoing, letter
to the Governor of California, directing him to
put Castillero in possession of the two leagues of
land. ,
This original letter was offered in evidence.be
fore the Land Commissioners in 1856; has been on
file in the office of the Surveyor General of Cali
fornia, and ne attempt has been made to impeach
the genuineness of the signature.
The' foregoing-paper, either as original or copies
(originals in the offices to. whioh they, were ad
dressed, and copies in the offioes from which they
were sent), are all found in their appropriate of
fices in the city of Mexico. *
Copies of them have been recently obtained from
that city. The copies found in each department
are separately certified by its own offibors. These
certificates are obtained from the Junta de Mi
neria, from tbe College of Mines, from the Mi*
nlstry of Justice, and from the Ministry of
Foreign Relations. ;
. These oopies are authenticated in the only forai
allowed by tho k sfexiea3»-l*w, and certified to bd
so by Mr. Forsyth, the UnUed'Stateshiiinister un?
der bis offioial seal; Mr. Forsyth silso certifies (as
does the British consul in Mexioo) that he was
present and assisted at the comparison of the
oopies with the originals; and that they ore correct
oopies. In addition to this, the correctness of the
oopies has been attested by one or more witnesses
present and assisting at the oomparison.
Id the opinion reoently delivered by the judges
of the United States Circuit Court In California,
suggestions have,been thrown out of a doubt
whether these papers ought not to be authenti
cated under the great seal of Mexloo, to entitle
them to full faith as oopies. >
In order to satisfy this doubt, your counsel in
California forwarded to us. an application ad-,
dressed to the Seorotary- of State, asking the in
terposition of our own Government to obtain from
Mexioo the originals of these, documents, or to al
low the great seal to be affixed to the oopies. We
sent this communication to the Secretary of State,
with a request that he would acknowledge its re
oeipt, and that prompt .action should be taken by
tbe Government. This was done on the 17th of
Deoember. No reply has yet been reoelved, and
we propose to address a letter to the President,
soliciting that the Government will procure, in
its own wayi through its own agents, and in
any form satisfactory to itself, either the origi
nals of theso documents, or oopies which the Go
vernment will bo willing to receive in evidence as
truo copies.
Wo nave no shadow of doubt that these docu
ments are genuine. They bear the strongest in
ternal evidence of genuineness. Either as origi
nals or copies, they are twenty-two in number,,
scattered through all the publio offices of the oity
of Mexioo, are consistent and interwoven with
each other. Above all, and to plaoa the question
beyond a cavil, we have in our possession a large
printed volume, containing the reports read to the
Mexioan Congress in Deoember, 1846, of the dif
ferent departments of the Government for that
year, a volume printed by the Government printer
in 1847, containing every subject of Government
administration that oould interest the Congress,
Including statistics of the agricultural, commer
cial,- and mining interests of the country. This
report, mode in Deoember, ,1846, contains the
statement of Oastillero’s mining discovery, of the
assay of the mineral, of the different documents
above mentioned; and the most important of
these documents are distinctly described and re
ferred to by date in the report i
It would extend this opinion toe far to refer to
numerous other proofs, placing the genuineness of
these papers beyond all possibility of doubt. We
select only one more. In Deoember, 1846, Cas
tillero eXeotited before a notary public in tbe city
of Mexioo, a ratification Of a contract previously
made by his agent with certain capitalists for
the supply of funds necessary for working the
mine, called In mining language a contract of
Avio. This contract not only contains references
to all the other titles above mentioned, hut embo
dies in full the letter of Castillo Lanzas of 23d of
May, 1846, above referred to; yet this is one of the
very papers charged to havo been fabricated in
1848, and ante-dated.
In opposition to all this proof not a solitary wit
ness has boon found to state that these papers are
not genuine. Your constituents have been en
joined from working tho mine by a deoreo of the
Cirouit Court, which, whilst prohibiting them from
making use of their property, carefully abstains
from any examination of their title. The
judges have declined to look into the titles, hat
determine that the company is not to use the
mines till the title is settled on tbe appeal from
the deoision of the Land Commissioners. This in
junction was issued in consequence of a oharge
made by the Government that the above titles
were forged and ante-dated, and the only evidenoe
produced in support of the oharge is found in oer
tain letters from James Alexander Forbes to Al
exander Forbes and other parties interested in the
mine, and the answers to these letters.
We have examined this correspondence with
great care. They prove oonolusively that the
documents above referred to are genuine. They
further prove that James Alexander Forbes, who
formerly owned an interest in these mines, deemed
these documents insufficient in law to vest a per
fect title, that additional papers would be requi
site, and that he urged upon some of them that
they should cause such additional titles to be fabri
cated, and thus confirm, ratify, and render more
formal, what he supposed to be an informal title.
But there is no evidence whatever that this advice
was followed, or that any snob ante-dated or
fraudulent papers were ever obtained er sought to
be obtained by the parties thus addressed.
Certain it is, that none suoh have been offered
before the Land Commissioners.
Our opinion in the whole oase may be summed
up as follows: , _ ..
Ist Tho titles produced are unquestionably
genuine, and sufficient in law to vest in the oom
pany tho right of property in the mines. .
2d. One of the parties originally interested in
the minos, fearing in the ohangea of Government
in California that no respect would be paid to equi
table titles, unaocompaniod by a formal delivery
of possession, proposed to bis associates to remedy
what he supposed defeotive, by procuring fraudu
lent ante-dated papers. No suoh additional pa
pers, however, are shown to be in existence, nor is
any effort to obtain them shown; oertalnly none
were produoed or relied on before the Land Com
missioners. The very witness who himself pro
posed this fraud, &nd]who is relied on to support
the allegation, was driven on cross-examination to
the adnuMion that ho had no knowledge that the
nefarious scheme proposed by himself was ever exe
cuted. . ..
We thick you may remain secure as to the
result of this litigation, and can only regret that
a oourt, without even inquiring into your const!-
tuents’ title to property in their possession, should
enjoin them from its use, under circumstances oal
oulated to inftiot on them so serious an injury.
Wo are your obedient servants,
