The monotopy of the Senatorial discus
sion has been relieved by the introduc-
ton of an extraordinary .Jelo -dicial act
by one of our Supreme Judges. He
asserts according 10 the San Francisco
papers, that he 'swill not allow four or
five rascalIy, thieving policemen to ar
rest gentlemen, and keep them confined
all night l have the power, and by
cd l mean to use it. What will you
take to drink, boys" The Assembly
have refused to inquire into his conduct,
and emboldened by their refusal, he de-
clares at ''The Lords Supper" that he
''is not afraid of the President, (aston-
ishing } and boasts that "the President
holds his office only three years longer,
while | hold mine for six J" Verify,
here is daniel come to Judgment"
The tenacity for Office exhibited in the
last remark, would seem to show that
the Judge belongs to that peculiar
class of politicians, "who seldom die
and never resi- en-" 1t is seldom that the
newspaper world Of San Francisco, be-
come SO thoroughly aroused, as they
have on this occasion Papers whose
calm exterior were never ruffled by ta-
king sides upon any question, have con-
demned the course of the Judge, and in
return received scathing rebuke from
''the Lords Supper Table" This is
one of the fruits of the attempted Sena-
torial usurpation, and it will require all
the ponderous arguments of the tribe of
David, to smooth the wrinkled front of
public sentiment.
The floating capitol" has cast an
chor at Sacramento, the state officers
and archives having arrived at that har-
Dor on Wednesday last. The reception
given them, is said to have been grand
and sublime. His excellency, Governor
Bigler, was safely delivered of one of his
happiest efforts on the auspicious occa-
sion. Gen. Denver, Secretary of State,
was loudly called for, and would have
made speech. if the Governor had not
said all that seemed necessary Both
were greeted with tremendous applause,
and the capitol became permanently To-
Gated until another legislator shall con-
vene. A gentlemen just arrived from
Sacramento, informs us that the streets
of that city were impossible except by
the aid of a mud-scow; but as our in
formant was opposed to the removal, we
merely mention it as specimen of un-
heard OF malice.
The discussion of the Senatorial ques-
ton may be now considered as closed,
and indeed, so far as its discussion was
concerned, it might as well have been
omitted, for like the Judge they have
the power and are determined to use it.
The high hand with which the Broderick
faction have carried matters.--the su.
preme contempt exhibited by his advo-
Gates for the voice of the people as ex-
pressed through remonstrances, will have
the effect to arouse the people to assert
and MAINTAIN their ri ghts, and be no
longer controlled by corrupt and de-
signing politicians, who trampl upon the
sovereignty of the people that their un-
holy compacts may be fulfilled, nd that
the rayenous maws Of corrupt political
comorants may be satiated The de-
mocracy would have been overwhelmed,
or rather the election would have gone
by default, had the democracy of Cali
fornia been aware that they were sup
porting those who had signed a compact
to trample upon their rights, and rob
them of their sovereignty. Can the de-
mocracy hope again to succeed, carrying
this load Of corruption, now that the
unholy scheme is laid open to the gaze
of the public, Are they ready to array
