With O sincere earnestness we wish one
and all a happy New Year The rain that
ushered in tie newy year, is far more welcome
than the year itself; for it gives hopes Of |
return Of that business, which Las been des
troyed By the long continued drought. The |
rain here has partaken more of the nature
Of a yiole Mt storm m--accompaned with high
winds, which have been somewhat des truct-
i've to property in the shape Of awnings and
signs. 1t seems to be the general opinion
that we shall now have plenty ofrain. We
certainly hope So
We could not help noticing, while in San
Francisco the great and substantial improve
incnts that city is making. Some Of the
most magnificent buildings We ever saw, ar ..
now under ac Instruction, and, ere long she
" i'll be one Of the largest and foremost cities
in the world. Another prominent and de-
sirabie Improvement is seen in the steamboats,
The new boats lately built ore Of the frs

great fayorte.
This city is filled with members, politicians
and strangers. Office hunters are innumer-

Of tie Legislature met. The members pres
cnt handed in their credentials and were
qualified. Judge Murray administering the
oath. The House Immediately adjourned to
meet to-day at twelve o'clock. The Speaker

hour and other new members were then
sworn in. A motion for adjournment was
Immediately proposed--it was made test

The ayes and nays were called--ayes 81,

men voting nay.
Great is the struggle among the Gwinbs
for caucus, but with the Boilers it is mo
go;" they will not stand it. The factions are
exactly reversed in regard to the caucus
question from what they were last winter
The Wings have the best chance for the
SPEAKER, as the Broderck and McDcugald
men are willing to coalesce with the Wigs
and dri9e Stone, of Santa Cruz, is the
Wing candidate for Speaker--a gentleman
well quail fed in every way.
AS many members are yet absent there
will be nothing done until they arrive.
Until complete organization is effected
no business can be transacted; which may
not be for two or three weeks.
From all that can learn, there seems to
be more g ntemen in this Legislature than
in any previous one; if such is the case, we
can look for less rowdy ism aud more business,

though it has been lauded to the skies by the
city papers, as being the best thing of the
kind ever got up on the Pacific coast, yet, we
have to see the first person who enjoyed
themselves while there. \ more unpleasant
dissatisfied party we never saw. The rooms
were crowded to suflocaton--the arrange
ments bad--the supper worse, to those who
got any, while many got none. The music
was the only thing good. Strangers and
those invited would have received better at =
tenuon and more courtesy among the trlbes
on the Indian Reservation. E. A. II.
