OACRAMEN TO, Tuesday Eve,
February 26, 1856.
On Thursday last some very amusing in
cidents occurred in the Senate, French in
the chair. A concurrent resolution COM
ing from the House, to adjourn to Tues
day was passed by the Senate. By the
terms of the resolution the Legislature
stood adjourned on its passage. The
chair, however, entertained different
opinion. Several Senators left their seats,
put on their hats, walked outside the bar,
and indulged in loud talking regardless of
the opinion of the chair. An appeal was
taken, which resulted in the chair being
overruled by nearly unanimous vote.-
So the Legislature stood adjourned for
four days.
Many scampcrcd for home Immediate
ly, some to San Francisco, and others to
attend ball of the E Clampsus Vitus at
Placerville.
On the 22d, in accordance with an in
vitation extended to call the world and
the rest of mankind" hundreds took a
trip to Folsom, the present terminus of the
Sacramento Valley Railroad, distant from
this city % miles Senator Flint, Col.
Zabriskle, Gov. Foote and others regaled
the crowd at Folsom with appropriate
speeches, which were well received. The
champagne circulated freely at the ex-
pense of the railroad company at the de-
pot, and on the return train. The conse-
quence was an unusual amount of fun,
some smashing of stove-pipe hats, and
quite number of bare headed men wend-
ing their way homeward, when the cars
stopped at Sacramento.
The Ball in the evening, at Meredith's,
L hear spoken of as fine affair. Folsom
presents the appearance somewhat of a
mushroom mining town of 1S49. Specu-
lators and squatters abound in the new
city, intent on making their piles from the
sale of city lots. A row occurred in the
evening between the land owners and
squatters, but as they all "came from the
shoulder, F" no one was seriously damaged
A stranger would hardly consider the city
property, at first sight, worth fighting for.
The Folsomites are either disposed to
fight for the merest trife, or entertain
totally different opinion.
Folsom undoubtedly, for time will be
place of considerable life and trade. 1t
will command the trade almost exclusively
of Ell Dorado County, which of itself is
sufficient to keep small place in -four
ishing condition.
But not until this enterprise is pushed
up throug h Auburn to Nevada, will the
wealth of the country be tapped, sufficient
to reward the investment of capital in
railroad. 1t is reported to be the inten-
tion of the company to extend the track
in circuit along the base of the foot hills
to Marysville.
Saturday last was a most intolcrably
dull day. The hum of blue-bottle fly
could have been heard over the entire city,
so still and quiet were the streets. To-
day, nearly all the members were again
In their seats, and evinced a disposition,
especially those of the House, to make
amends for lost time, by dispatching quite
an amount of business.
The appropriation Bill passed the Sen
ate, and the deficiency Bill, after consid-
cradle discussion, was referred to a select.
committee, with instructions to report on
Thursday.
The San Francisco delegation are divi-
ded on Hawes' Consolidation plan, and at
present rates of progress, it will be long
hence ere it passes the House All the
important measures of the Session are vet
uuhtouched. Tomorrow, the several sqat-
ter Bills will be taken up and discussed
by the Senate. Some of them are inten-
ded to legalize stealing, others pilfering,
and unless amended so as to change the
entire nature of them, they will meet the
fate they merit.
Nevada has large and respectable del
egation of outsiders here at present, who,
if they do not convince every body that
they represent the center of all creation,
will leave conviction that they ought to,
and will some time in future.
