CONCSTHcu, L Cdu uticuu myself Walk lHe

not ask any one to accompany me but felt
it my duty to make the fact known to the
Senate and | ain convinced that there is
some mental obliquty in the mind of this
man that renders him totally unfit for the po-
sition he occupies. Now, sir. the matter is i'll
the hands of the Senate, and the Senate can
make what disposition Of the matter it thinks
fit and proper.
Mr. Tuttle is a peculiarly fclicitous speaker.
He is a pale, spare man. and in speaking seems
to move only the muscles Of his face, all the
rest Of his body being inanimate. K But hrs
ideas are forcibie and finely expressed. The
Secretary rendered his resignation, and said
=" IF he had done any act derogatory to the
dignity Of the Senate, or IF any Senator has
been aggrievcd in his feelings by any act OF
his he deeply regretted it." This hypothesis
was not accepted by the Senate as an apology
in view of clear fact, and they refused TO
accept tie apology or entertain the resigna-
ton. but expelled him without q dissenting
voice. 1t was the only course consistent with
the dignity ofthe Senate.
The Prohibitory Liquor Law has been un-
der discussion in the House the past week. An
amendment was fastened upon it upon motion
of Mr.. Buffnan of San Francisco, allowing
the making and sale of California wine. The
artiqle referred to is comparatively harmless.
ard would cure much of the taste for stronger
liquids If made in abundance But the friends
Of the law as originally introduced will defeat
its final passage because the clause will destroy
all its virtues for this reason. The name Of
California wine will be given TO every liquor
possible, and it will be impossible to obtain
convictions under the law because liquors can
easily be colored to resemble the native wine,
and the testimony of adopts will be difficult 20
procure-those being adopts are generally old
soakers, and are unwilling Of course to testify
away their supplies If this bill becomes d
law there will be more California wine in the
state in three weeks than all its vineyards can
produce in three years. Brandy, gin, wine, all
kinds and degrees of vile concoctions will Le
naturalized, and baptised with the name OF
California vintage. The law will encourage
the native manufacture of wine from juice that
never smelt of the grape. A vast branch Of
domestic manufacture will be encouraged, bat
the raw material will have never blushcd on
the vine, or climed the garden wall The
demonic spirits that now are kno- hy fiery
names will go forth sanctifed by the poetic
and fascinating name Of wine, and endorsed az
household favorites. But the friends Of tho
bill as it was first introduced will probably
ignore it as it now stands, so that the matter
will be postponed till another year: It is ~eal-
" pity that the culture Of the harmless naliye
article cannot be reconciled with the breaking
up of the general liquor traffic bat | see no
way in which it can be done. The grape
growing interest is getting to be Yeis large
one in the southern counties, anu whie TIC
representatives from that section will concedH
to the rest of the State q p-ohibitory law
against all except their own vintage, they VIII
vote against any law III which such seserva-
ton is not made. The same result viii occur
when the question goes to the people. The
whole southern counties will 60 en- mas"
against law that cuts off profitable branch
of their business, and may vote for law that
leaves them alone in that particular.
The correspondent of the Eusning Journal
Of San Francisco, writing from this city, uses
the following iliberal and mistaken language
ID reference to the r. sent Legislature
Tho f,ct 10 LEGISLATURE must be elcctc; and
oon,.nrnd or d;e,ront material from ar vet
LoId nr thn rich and glorious State Of Caiifor-
n;a !. ,,amnad-rendcrcd bankrupt past re

rnakers or Judges, and indeed 10 every Office Of
cn10Iument or honor. The most vital interests
Of California demand selection Of good ncn
and true to fill Office in this State hereafter.
"Thc fact is the present Legislature Is OF
a different material from any opo heretolors
convened The great mass OF its mesabers
are honest, Industrious, intelligent men. A
better Legislature can scarcely be ever elected
than this one There are men Of fine abili-
ties in its body. and muca good common
sense. There IS desire Tor economy anu
rctrcnchment that cannot be carried much
farther without doing mischief by extreme
parsinony. Further, especially in he House.
the great mass are "new nicn." But four CT
five of the membcrs~had before this session
been members of the Legislature. Tie men,
bcrs are not brokcndown politicians or
hacks" for in this Legislature they Just enter
upon public life. Neither are they " birds Of
passage any more than those they represent.
Indeed all these inuendocs are so stale. and
yet so inapplicable in this instance, that the
use of them looks like whistlipg for want ot
thought. In the same article the CORES pCn-
dent highly endorses the governors ccnrso.--
