for me to communicate. The all-absorbiDs
Senatorial question is predominant in all cir
cles; it being discussed by all parties, at al
times, and in ell places. Still, it is as fal
from being settled now as ever-in fact, far
ther. BaIlotngs have been going on in join
convention for several days without any sue
cess, whatever. The divisions in the demo
cratic ranks prevent democrat from being
elected. The wings Of course are united
and are not expected to unite upon either Of
the democratic candidates that are at present
offered. This question is seriously delaying
necessary legislation, and until it is disposed
Of in some manner, nothing Of importance
can be done. Three weeks have passed oi
the present session without accomplishing
anything to the advantage Of the State. I'm
less compromise can be affected, il is un-
doubtedly the duty Of the Convention to pass
the subject over to the next session, SO that
the necessary business Of the State can go
on-every thing now is encumbered with
this one subject.
Another drag in the business Of the As
sembly has been the contested election case
between Mr.. Calvin (dem.) and Mr.. Nc
Carey (whig) Of Tuolumne county, which
has occupied several days Of the session, but
was disposed of on Saturday last, by sending
both back to their constituents to try it over
again.
1t seems the object Of some to spin out
long session.
The city is filed with strangers from all
parts Of the State; most of them impeled
here by the Senatorial question, and many Of
them more or less affected BY the result Of
the election
Business Of all kinds is dull with the ex-
ccpton Of hotels, steamboats,, and stages
which are crowded full. Yet, with all the
strangers and travel that this city is filled
WITH its accommodations are nothing to boast
Of.
Great exertons are being made to open
stage route across the country; if the State
should make appropriations for its construc-
ton, which it is hoped it will, twill probably
be in operation this summer; this is Of far
more importance than who shall be Senator
There seems to be disposition now among
a majority of all parties, 10 throw by old
party names, and all unite upon California
Platforms a party to be established for the
benefit Of California, and not solely for the
spoRs.
If the members Of the present Legislature
should do this, and would elect some good
man for Senator, ,oho has nevr been knopn
N politics, believe they could and would do
more for our State than al! the present par
Ties are capable of doing.
1t is not improbable that such party may
be formed at very early day. It is the only
ground on which u. s. Senator can be
elected this winter.
The sallotngs, SO far-and there have
been seyenteen-average about thus Ed
wards (w.) 80; Gwin (d) lO McCorkle II;
Brol.rick l2i scattering 6; necessary for
choice 81.
Each party stands firm, and do not be-
lieve any material change will take place with
the present candidates; at any rate none suf-
ficient for an election.
Senator Mahoney, Of San Francisco, who
was accidentally shot few evenings since
during difficulty in tho Orleans House, is
recovering rapidly; he will probably be able
TO take his seat again in three or four days
1t was fortunate escape for him, as the ball
passed through his under lip, knocking out
two Of his under teeth aud lodged under his
tongue.
The Joint Convention has adjourned over
until Tuesday, when it will again probably go
through with some more useless ballotings.
The news by the arrival of the Cortes is
not of much importance. 1t confirms,
however, the former statements that "Sebas
topol is not taken" EAR.
