SACRAMENTO April H. 1854.
NTR. ARGUS No remarkable incident has oc
Cured to disturb the quiet and peaceabe citizens
of Sacramento, during the week past. The streets
of this city are remarkably dry and clean, and in
the afternoon many ladies may be seen promenad-
ING, hence these said streets are very attractive
especially just before and after dark.
AT this time the street in front of the Orleans
presents busy scene, and is crowded with politi-
clans wire-workers and log-rocra, all in full bloom.
If is truly amusing to watch these attentive and
ever wakeful but disinterested individuals. Eve2y
man has some darling object at heart, but then he
is personav most decidedly disinterested. All of
them are toiling, bcsceching and snearing for the
dear people The modest and unassuming member
of Atsemblv and the grave, dignifed and slippery
Senator go out also among the throng, they too
conclude that all plans and efforts should be design
ed solely for the benefit OF the people.
Therefore legislators, logrollers and wirc-pullers
resolve that they themselves are the people, repre-
sent the people, work for the people, but agree that
so far as swndling the public crib is concerned, to
swear that the effort is entirely disln.erested on
their part-al for the people. One third Of the
entire State is desired for the construction OF rail
roads Millions millions Of acres are sought to
construct these railroads. all for the benefit OF the
people also.
These disintcrest legislators and wire-pullers out
in front Of the Orleans, all of them own stock IN
these roads or expect to become owners OF stock
hereafter so with one accord they agree to say that
the land for the construction Of roads is given to
the State Of California; and therefore for the peo
ple but the scheme is enacted into a barcfaced
swindle with modest and retiring prCriso that all
of these lands shall be disposed of by authority and
under direction of the State, and proceeds appro-
praed to the construction Of railroads, and to no
other purpose whatever. Well, these wire-pullers
and log-rollers are, Or will be stockholders. They
are already the people, and will received the dvi-
dends declared from time to time on the stocks
paid for in fact with public lands, and why not!
These chaps work all the time for the people, sub
NIT every thing to the people according to Jefer-
sonian principles and the principles Of the Demo
cratic party therefore they should be paid for their
valuable services.
The Monplaisirs arc performing at the Theatre
in this city and drawing good houses. 1t is said
they dance elegantly, and the fact that the feet
are frequently higher than the head Is not consld-
cred in the least Objectionable.
Rev Mr. Specr, the we'll known Chinese Mission
ary is lecturing in this city upon China and the
Chinese. Large numbers attend these lectures
Tomorrow the Nebraska resolutions will be con-
sdered again in the Senate, when it is to be hoped
the people of this State may be apprsed of their
present and future destiny and that too in advance
Of knowledge Of what Congress may do in the
promises. In short it is no matter what Congress
may do, because the California Legislature is a
progressive and fast body and can to order 9TH
erwiso pass new set of resolutions. The country
is safe, anyhow, the Pacific State is sufficient for
any emergency
The Senate will next week, it is said, have under
discussion the Revenue Bill and the Eastern Cues
ton when the people may expect light ON Turkish
and Russian affairs: also the exact length and
quality Of PGcha'S idIs will be defined for reference
now, and the information Of future generations.
