This turned out to be decidedly the ball of
the season, and in point of numbers more
than met the anticipation of the proprietor.
His fine new house (or salo on, for the time
being) was sufficiently spacious for the grace
ful and sylph-like beauties to Waltz or prom
enade. which they did to immense advantage
to themselves, but with amazing havoc round
in spots where weak hearts are supposed to be
located-which would be set all fluttering as
the bewitching little coquettes would hang
listlessly on the arm of some gallant lord,
who would be running an opposition line for
favor about that time. Being almost an en-
tire stranger, and an outsider, could hardly
recollect the names Of all those whose attrac-
tons by common consent, entitled them to
special notice. They numbered over forty,
several of whom were just pretty enough to
slay forty men with one glance of the eye,

The Eldorado Bribery Case

We have heretofore expressed the belief that
the statement of the Eldorado delegation in
regard to the bribe offered them was done for
effect The last Mountain Democrat, pub
lished at Placerville, Judge Doyle's residence,
thus speaks of the matter:
'sMr. Doyle, the gentlemen accused of the
offence, is anxiously waiting to be summoned
before the Senate, to give a statement of the
facts. He has challenged his accusers to
bring the matter up, but up to the time of
going to press nothing had been done.
In connection with the above it may not be
out of place to state that Messrs Livermore
and Hollister, whose signatures are attached
to the astounding developments positively
declare that they did not sign it. This. too,
may require investigation. Who placed their
names to it ;-and what right had others to
sign their names to such a serious accusation
without their authority or knowledge!
1--WE earnestly hope that the Senate will
take the matter in hand, and that searching
and thorough investigation will be had speed
lily, SO that the facts may ELECTED. 1t is due
to the accusers and accused, to the State and
the Senate, that the facts should be brought
to light and placed before the public, SO that
the guilty may not escape punishment"
Public opinion in this vicinity is turning
strongly against the Eldorado delegation for
negecting to investigate the matter Is there
proof lacking which they expect to be able to
find, or what is the reason the matter has not
been brought up The Hon. gentlemen will
soon be held in no enviable estimation by the
public, if there s no move in the matter.

Duel al San Francisco.

A Duel came off at San Frencisco on Tues
day morning last, between Judge Washington
of the Times & Transcript, and Mr.. Wash
burn Of the Alta California. Distance fifty
paces--three shots exchanged Mr. Wash
burn received the two first through his hat
and the third went crashing through his
shoulder, wounding him severely, though it
is hoped not fatally. The -7ifa published an
article some days since rejecting upon Air.
Washington, to which the latter replied over
his own signature The God of battles was
then appealed to by Mr.. Washburn, who re-
ceived small Galena production through his
shoulder. Ii the God of battles guided the
bullet, Mr.. Washburn must have been to
blame-if not it simply proves that Mr.. Wash
ington was the best shot. flesh wound al
ways satisfies wounded honor-and many
times burning little powder effects the same
thing. There are several other equally as
good chances for duels as the one above inen-
toned, now on the tapis below But We do
not doubt, the different belligerents will ex-
ercise their good sense, and let this battle be-
tween the leading journals of the factions
satisfy the balance-for we cannot cocneiye
such course to be reconcilabe with the duty
men owe to society and to themselves We hope
to see the present legislature render theprac-

rights of the friends of the deceased.
The above are the resolutions in the main
as adopted by the meeting, and we hold, that
from Mr. Skellinger's own neglect, in not
getting the receipt recorded, he alone is
culpable and not the meeting that adopted
the resolutions. of which he complains. Mr.
S. deposited sum of money with Mr.. Clark,
and, we understand, took due Bill for it,
and has refused to give an order to persons
authorized by the miners, to forward such
money to the friends of deceased, and has en-
deavored to lengthen and stave off the time OF
sending the money under the pretext, that he
wants a receipt from the father Of the decd,

those who are afraid of a democratic
people, we doubt not the democracy will
succeed. The win of the people is the
correct policy for democracy. There
fore we say leave the subject for the
people to settle themselves.
Two plans have been presented to
Congress for the purpose of improving
the present mail system between the At
lantic and Pacific. One is to give the
contract to parties who will carry it IN
the quickest time, and the other propo-
ses that Congress shall buy all the steam
ers and perform its own mail service
II is not probable the latter proposition
will be acted on, sit is hardly possible
that such change would remedy the
evil now complained Of, the tardiness of
their transit.
Several Russian officers are in New
York ostensibly for the purpose of su-
perintending the construction Of the

intention of forming organizations for

The proposed new tariff of the Secre-

poses to subject all imports to duty OF

Important to Settlers.

The State Journal learns through private
advices from Washington, that the California
pre-emption law permitting settlers to take
possession of unsurveyed public lands in this
State. and which expired by limitation on the
Srd of the present month, has been extended
for two years from that date, or until the 3rd
of march, '56. 1t is also reported that a law

The Wing Circular .
exempt fr

A circular lately appeared in the San Fran
cisco Courier, signed by the Whig State Com
mittee, congratulating the wings in the leg
islature on their course upon the Senatorial
question, and complimenting the unterrifed
democracy of California for acting in concert
with the wings in opposition to the election
1t met with most sarcastic reception be the
wings in the legislature, and was denounced
by the democratic press, as contemplate
trick of the Broderick tribe, or terrified fac
tion of the democratic party, by which they
hoped to cast odium upon the democracy, and
thereby induce the Senate to favor an election
the present session. The committe with one
exception, have since disclaimed the produc-
ton of the document But Dir. Berry who
was instrumental in getting up this boost to
the hungry Broderick faction, claims its pa
ternity, and asserts that the intention of the
circular was to throw out little salt and in
duee the democracy of California to go over
and embrace whiggery, not merely for the
purpose of defeating the scheme of an cleo
ton the present session, but for all time to
come. Faeetious Mr.. Berry! Orchard is
hardly himself again" 1t may require the
aid Of portion of the wings in the legislature
to act with the democracy, in order to defeat
the renegade faction of Broderiok and his
whig allies, but whenit comes to the ballot
box the unterrifed and uncontaminated de-
mocracy of California, will outweigh the whg
party, even if Broderick musters his forces
into the whig service. And it matters rot
how soon he parades them over. Outside of
the State officers and his tools in the legisla-
ture, he has no very formidable army-and
the sooner the democracy of California are
rid OF him and his intriguing corruption, the
better for themselves and the State. But oh,
Mr.. Berry, don't make another attempt to al
lure the democracy of California into the
ranks of whiggery, as this attempt only shows
that your are an extravagant whig committee
man, and liable to overdo your duty. Take
Broderick and his crew-those who sold them
selves to him at the Benecia convention-and
those who have since made the State Printing
their God Of worship through Mr. Broderick-
take them all, and joy go with them. They
are too corrupt-and too easily terrified to be
of service to the democratic party-since a
triumph with their assistance, is but the sig
nal for usurpation, corruption, and distrae-
tion. But don't induce the democracy of CAL
ifornia to join the whig party, Mr.. Berry,
don't we beg of you.
