CORRESPONDENCE of the Argus. !
BENIcIA, January %, Il

DENlClA Jdnuary 20, Ioof
Mr. Argus: Little has been done to-day The
Senate on Saturday last adjourned over to Tuesday,
and in the House bare quorum only appeared in
their seats An evident determination exists not to
remain in Benicia a single hour when it is possible
to go away.
Tomorrow (Tuesday) the investigation of the
bribery commences in the Senate, and some
rich developments are expected. A week since the
Custom House had an entire regiment of officials
and agents, whispering bribery in the of every
man they could find in or about the Capitol, and
with upturned and sanctifed eyes wondering if an
nvestig cation would ever take place.
Since efficient steps have been taken by the Sen
ate to ensure thorough overhauling of this matter
now the Custom House and its right bo,rer Senator
Crabb, begin to core and it is than limited that
the boot is to appear on the wrong leg.
1t is not at all unlikely that ro cases of bribery
will be tried at one and the same time.
The Capitol question is not yet settled by long
odds. The Benicians and SPECTATORS since the vote
in the Senate, have been putting airs and raising
the price of board, thinking that the congregated
wisdom of the State must remain in their city of
magnificent distances But some of the more
knowing ones begin to hang down their lip, and
speak of the necessity of little more decency and
recommend renewed exertion, lest some unruly
members and Senators refuse absolutely to be srin-
dled ad Hbitum.
The Senatorial question is talked of in all circles
and will soon be brought into tangible shape
The sooner the better; and then decided Democrats
and Wings can have something to swear by for
and about.
Wing Senators and members are aacf,Ay anxious
on the subject They are fully persuaded that an
election of u s. Senator this session will annihilate
California, and swamp the Union generally.
The learned Solons have discovered that sover-
eign State can exhaust its power, and that no
authority exists anywhere to elect successor to
Senator Weller, at the next session of the Legsla-
ture, though successor to Senator Gwn can and
may constitutionaly be elected during this present
session.
Senator Crabb is the chief cook and bottle washer
of the opposition to Senatorial election, and takes
trip to the Bay two to four times week to assist
in the calculation of the chances, and begins to say
that the ID Democratic party can only be ruined,
if at ALL by postponing the rered question.
Your servant will tell you something of the bri-
berry case as developments are made, but the Argus
need not be surprised if the whole prove tempest
in teapot SAUL.
The Empire County argus., 1854-01-28
Corresponding of the Argus
BENICIA, January "a, 1854.


Mr.. Argm: To-day the bribery case commenced
in the Senate. Col. Baker appearing as counsel for
MIR. Peck, ana Messrs. Williams and McAllster as
counsel for Mr.. j. c. Palmer. Mr. Palmer made
statement under oath at the bar of the Senate of
his conversations with Mr.. Peck, the n-corruptible
Senator from Butte. Then Mr.. Peck was placed on
the stand and examined by his counsel Col Baker
at great length. Finally the examination COM
menced under the direction of Williams, in the
progress of which witness hesitated fairly caved n
SO that Custom House officials sopcd and even Dick
himself ramosed before the adjournment, every hair
standing on end leaving the writhng witness crng-
ing and trusting without aid or comfort, Senate
adjourned and will resume again tomorrow
The last catechism is now, who struck Billy Pat
terson Who bribed Peck? Who kissed Miss
Gates Did Miss Gates catch the flea? If So,
what did she do with it? These are all interesting
questions and now engage the attention of the Cali
fornla Legislature, the Courts of San Francisco and
the hombres of Uncle Sans revenue department

By reference to our Legislative proceedings it
will be seen that Mr.. Cofroth, somewhat to our
surprise made novel and, to u.s. rather extraordi-
nary motion, in regard to the publication of the
proceedings of the Senate in the alledgcd bribery
case 1t is customary, we believe, for reporters to
be invited to note the proceedings, and every civlty
is generally extended to Them and expressly inter-
dieting them from taking notes, strikes us as
strange arbitrary and unprecedented. The people
are anxious to see the evidence before the Senate,
and every facility should be extended to reporters to
enable them to place the result of the investigation,
as it progresses before them at the earliest moment
Mr.. Coffroth we learn, is member of the press,
and should be the last one to throw obstacles in its
path.
We are man nor wealth worshipers, and our
respect for Mr.. Palmer is neither lessened nor in
creased by his reputed wealth. He is charged with
grave offence and if proved guilty, should suffer
for it, and no courtesy should be extended to
him, than to the poorest in the State under like
circumstances
We regret that Mr.. Cofroth made such mo-
ton. We have a sincere esteem for him, but must
admit that it has been considerably essened by his
action on this subject. Up here in the mountains
it looks much like attempt to screen Mr. Palmer

few weeks ago Messrs. Bingham & Co., of
Spanish Flat had six hundred and fifteen dollars
stolen from them in coin. .On Monday last an In
dian woman called on them and informed them she
had reason to believe that one of her Indian ac-
quaintanccs, who had large amount of money in
his possession, had stolen it, The suspected Indian
was drunk at the time, and the husband of the In
dian woman took $3.50 dollars from him and re-
stored it to Mr.. B. The thief was soon after ar
rested, and admitted that he had taken the money
ae said he had it hidden in tree, which he could
easily find and that he would get it and return it
On several occasions the gentlemen who had the
Indian in custody went with him to the place where
he said he had concealed it, and on examination
could not find it. The gentlemen who had been
robbed and who treated the Indian with the utmost
kindness and forbearance under the circumstances
determined not to be triaed with any longer, and

accordingly tied him and gave him ten lashes. He
again promised to show them where he had placed
the money. They released him and he took them
to another tree. After a close search they were
again unsuccessful They then gave him thirty
lashcs more, but without getting any thing out of
him. Finally they hung him till nearly dead, but
he still maintained a sullen silence. Finding that
harsh treatment had no effect, they released him.
We hardly know which to be the most surprised at
the lcniency of the robbed gentlemen or the OBJ
duracy of the thief.
We are indebted for the above particulars to an
eye witness.
