the removal of the Capitl | to Benicia
was exactly right, and to settle the mat
ter conclusivcly and forever, they passed
an act entitled "An act for the perma-
nent location of the Seat of Govern
ment of California, approved May IS,
1885," declaring and enacting that the
City of Benicia, "shall be and remain
the permanent Seat of Government of
California, in accordance with the Con-
stitution" This of course fixed the
thing definitely ard certain If the law
declared that it was in accordance with
the Constitution, it could make no DIFF
ference what were the facts in the case.
Or whether the requirement of the Con-
stitution had been complied with The
truth is that this law, nor any other that
preceded it, was in accordance with the
Cons titution. for it passed the Senate by
a vote OF 10 to 7, (Sen. jour. p. 534)
and the Assembly by a vote f26 to 10,
House jour. p. 634), thus filling to
give the constitutional majority. That
the Senate considered it necessary there
shoul d be iwo-thiris of the members vo-
ting in favor of the bill, to give it valid
ity, is shown by their action, their jour
nal Up. 534) reading upon the announce
ment Of the vot', "Taere being consti-
tutional majority, the chair declared the
bill passed" Most persons would un-
derstahd from this language, that, if
there had not been a Constitutional ma
jority, the bill would not have passed.
The Assembly considered the bill passed
by vote Of 26 to 10.
The Legislature of 1851, met at Be
nicia, and soon after removed to Sacra-
mento under the provisions Of an act
entitled 'An act to provide FIR the per-
manent location Of the Seat of Govern
ment of the State of California at Sacra-
mento City, approved Feb. 25, 1854"
which fixed the Seat of Government at
Sacramento, and repealed the acts of
the Legislature of 1858, fixing it at
Benicia We have MT the official jour,
nails of the Legislature of 81, bat the
Times and transcripts report of the
Legislative proceedings. which we pre-
sumo TO be right, shows this bill to hav e
passed the Senate by vote of l3 to II,
(T & T. Feb. 20 and on the ext
day the title of the bill passed, Ct. & T.
Feb. 2D. The same bill passed the
House by vote Of 80 to 80, Ct. & L.
Feb, 23), failing in both houses to have
a Constitutional majority.
There is, therefore, no Constitutional
law removing the Seat of Government
from San Jose, and that place must still
be the Seat cf Government as provided
by the Constitution. With the above
statement of the case, the State officers,
under the direction of the Legislature,
maintain that the Seat of Government
is at Sacramento, while the Supreme
Conrt, under the Constitution and the
laws, decide that the Capitol is San

ARRIVAL or TIE sIERRA NEVADA

OF y Il - OIOL NOI IN II ".
We are only able to give a genera
synopsis of the important news brough
by the last steamer.
A dispatch from DR.. Rae to the Gov
ernOr of the Hudson Bay Company, da.
ted York River, August 4, 1858, state
that the remains, of Sir John Fra nklil
and his party had been discovered, anc
that they perished in 1880, by starva
ton.
A complete refutation of the Statement
that Sebastopol had fallen, is received
The place is closely invested by the alliet
armies, but Menchikoff still holds then
at bay
The besiegers had, up to the lates
dates, made no impression upon Sebasto-
pol; they had invested it on the Soull
and East, and their guns were playing
on the walls.
MenchikofF kept the field in the North.
and was in daily expectation of being
joined by Oster Sacken and Gortshakoff,
who were at Perekop
The allies had destroyed the acque-
duct. and cut off the supplies of water
from the city, which is now supplied
from reservoirs.
The Russians had erected sand bate
rics, armed with ships guns, but the
range of tie Allies artillery was greater.
The allied trenches were within sixteen
hundred yarGs Of the walls, and already
mounted fifty guns.
The French and English governments
have officially notified their governments
that on Sept. 23d, Immediately on the
reception of the news of the battle of Al
ma, Menchikoh sunk five of his line of
battle ships and two frigatcs, in eight or
ten fathoms of water, thus completely
blocking up the entrance to the harbor Of
Sebastopnl, and preventing the possib Ii.
ty Of an attack by sea- These ships
were sung with all their gans and stores
on board, and rigging standing.
The English are much incensed at this
expedient, which has contributed to
cause the generals to change their plans
of operations, and to attack the south in.
stead of the north side of the city.
The Russians hold their remaining
ships ready 10 be sunk, and the crews,
amounting to 10, 900 men are added to
the garrison Of S. ba stopol
1t is said the Russians have like wise
wise sunk ships across the Straits of
Yenikie.
The Allied fleets thus being compara-
lively useless at sea, Admiral Dundas
mas sent the ma ines on shore TO Join the
army.
A letter in the Times suggests that
the powerful iron steamer Simoon, which
is equivalent to a force of 1900 tons
should be employed as steam batter
ingram to force passengers over the
sunken ships. This expcdient will
probably be tried.
From the present disposition of the
Allied forces, between Balaklava and
Cape Cheronrse, it seems that the north
side of the harbor is not invested, and
that the whole country north of Sebas-
topol is now evacuated by the Allied
forces, which, it is likely, passed through
it. The supposition is confirmed by a
statement in the dispatches from Admi-
raj Dundas, dated Sept. 2sth, where he
says that having sent the steamers Al
bion and Vesuvius to ALA, to collect the
wounded Russians, and convey them un-
dor flag of truce to Odessa, the British
hospitals being FIJI, his force was threat
ened by 5000 Russians, and had to re-
embark under cover of the ships guns.

Judge Hester of San Jose, it seems.
has dismissed the alternate mlndamus
against Gov Bigler, and has ordered a
mandatory mandamus as to all the other
State officers included in the list, requir.
ing them to keep their ffices and dis
charge duties at San Jose. As rhe
State officers are all at present in Sac
ramento, under the authority of law, il
IS more than likely they will stay thera
until that is declared unconstitutional
or repealed. Meanwhile the mandamus
case will be carried to the Supreme
Court, which has its next session in Jan
