ASSAULT ON REPoRTER.-Mr. Harvey Lee,
member of the Assembly from Fl Dorado, as
saulted Mr.. G. A. Sumner, one of the Legsla-
tive reporters Of the Union, on Saturday. The
occurrence took place in the Assembly cham
Der. Mr.. Sumner was sitting at his desk, and
Mr.. Lee approached him and asked il he wa,
the author Of an article in tho Union, headed
the "Stakes and Ferguson difficulty" Mr.
Sumner replied in the Affirmative, upon which
Lee struck him in the face, and was about to
follow up the blow, but was restrained by ether
members. The Union prsnounces the conduct
OF Mr.. Lee "cowardly and dsgraceful !" the
State Journal justines the assault.

SINKING OF THE BRIG CoRNEL1.-Last week,
we published an account of the sinking of the
Mexican brig Cornelia, off the coast of Lower
California, which was Supposed to have had on
board some $4,000 in silver coin. Captain
Bennett and the crew arrived at San Francisco,
and from the statements of some Of the sailors
it became evident that Captain Bennett and the
mate, Louis Lanaro, were endeavoring to de-
fraud the consignees and underwriters. They
were promptly arrested, and subsequently con-
fessed that the silver had been taken of by
themselves and buried in the sand while the
vessel was lying at Capt st. Lucas. On the
strength of this confession, the pilot boat Fan
ny was dispatched for the buried treasure on
Wednesday. Capt Bennett and the mate were
placed on board, and they have promised to
point out the place where the treasure is buried.
1t seems there was only about $4,000 on board
the brig, instead of $6o,e0O, as at first stated
by the Captain and mate. The sailors are Of
the opinion that the brig was scuttled and sunk
purpOsely; but this the Captain and mate deny.

THE NIGGER BnL,-The bill to exclude ne
gress from the State, which we noticed in our
last as having been sngrosssd in the Assembly,
Was afterwards rsconaidsrsd and eonHdsd to
the care Of select committee Of its friends, for
the purpose Of making ii moro stringent. The
bill was afterwards reported Is amended, but
some Of its provisions were so absurd that the
members Of the Assembly seem to have been
completely taken aback, and nothing has been
done with it since. II will probably share the
fate Of Mr.. Lees anti-mob bill.

Row IN THE AssEMBLY.-A difficulty occurred
in the Assembly chamber last Friday between
Mr.. R. D. Ferguson Of Sacramento, and Judge
Stakes Of San Joaquin. A number Of gentle
manly epithsts, such as "liar," "seoundrel, j"
"cOntenptibls puppy" &e., passed between
them, and when longer forbearAaes ceased to
be virtue, the gentlemen made at each other,
but were prevented frsm coming in contact by
ether members, and the bsligsrsnts were taken
into custody. 1t is thought that an "anair of
hsRor" will grow out Of the difficulty.

WAsuINGToN Cry, March Both, 1858.
In the Senate, an amendment to the Mime.
sofa bill offered by Mr. Wilson, admitting the
Territory with one Representative, and provi-
ding for the immediate taking of perfect Off
cial census, before qualifying the other two, was
adopted by n vote of22 TO 81. An amendment
to this amendment, offered by AIR. Polk, is now
pending. 1t provides for the Admission of the
Territory with the three Representatives elect,
until correct official census shall have been ia
ken. In the consideration of this amendment,
the question arises: How is the member, or
members to be expelled who may ultimately be
found to have held seat or seats, without le-
gal constituency, and what is to be done with the
acts, and their uHtraceable consequences, which
may have been passed by the vote or votes OF
this probationary representation.
In the House of Representatives, the Kansas
question is under animated discussion, at the
rate Of about eight hours per day. y stormy
time is looked for about Thursday next.
The official programme of the Utah eXpedi-
ton is about as follows: The regular troops
in Kansas and on the Western frontiers, are to
start 10 \ tan between the SuIl OF .ApTll ana the
10th of May, mastering about 1000 effective
men. The five regiments of volunteers pro-
posed by the bill now pending in Congress, are
to he accepted and organized as soon the bill
is passed. No force less than a complete regi
ment will be received from any State, and Of
fers are already made, directly and contingent
ly, of the whole force proposed. The volun-
teer regiments will be taken according to the
date of application. One regiment is specially
assigned for Texas. 1t is expected that by July
there will be about $500 U. S. troops in the
Mormon Territory, consisting of about one third
cavalry, an artillery corps of 10 guns, and the
rest infantry. 1t is probable that Gen. Harvey,
or some other officer of long service and eX-
pcrience, will be ordered to the chief command
of the expedition. Whoever holds this respon-
sible position will be thoroughly instructed by
the Administration to look upon the Mormons
rs dcluded cOuntrymen, and to achieve blood
less victory if possible.

Why COUSINS SHOULD not MARRY.-Tn the
annual report Of the Superintendent Ofthe Ken
lucky Institution Tor the Deaf and Dumb, we
find the following conclusive argument against
the marriage of cousins:
From ten to twelve per cent. of deaf mutes,
are the children of cousins. It is greatly to be
regretted that the law forbdding the marriage
of first cousins did not pass the recent Legisla-
tire. The marriages are violation of a law of
nature, is evidenced by the Affections visited
in almost every upon their offspring in deaf.
ness, blindness and idiocy; and ought to be a
violation of human laws also. The Common
wealth has clear right to protect itself against
these ill-starred matches, whose offspring it has
to sustain, too frequently for life. 1t may be
hoped that this important subject will not es-
longer. 1t is confidently believed that by for
bidding marriages of this kind, and by proper
lttention and care of infants laboring under the
disease stated, the number of deaf mutes in the
community might be diminished one-half in -
generation"

CART. TRAVIS, the pistol sharp-shooter, pub,
fishes card in reply to the proclamation of the
Mayor Of Louisville, forbiddng the shooting OF
oranges from the head and hands of boy, as
the Capt. had wagered thousand dollars he
could do. The Capt. says the Mayor might,
before issuing the proclamation, have asked him
self the question, whether pistol might not be
so loaded as to shoot ten PAGES with a small ball
without infiictins a serious wound, even if the
ball should strike any part of the person, and
adds 81 think he could have satisfied himself
that there would not be even II possible cause OF
any injury to the boy, if it should hit him.. y
The Capt. also wishes to know whether there
is not danger to life and limb in circus exhibi.
tions, and such performances as those of the
Martinnetti family, and why the Mayor does
not put stop to such dangerous sports? The
Capt. puts the case, at tine close of his card
thus
Itwould be improbable that should hit the
boy, when shooting with deliberate aim, n dis
lance ofonly 10 PAGES, and at an object Pip in
ches in diameter.
After having already required some reputa-
ton as pistol shot, it would be folly for me to
risk that reputation by shooting at the oranges,
if had the least doubt ofhittng them and it
would he worse than madness in Inc TO peril my
life or liberty by the attempt il felt it was pro-
bable for the boy to be injured if ball should
touch him.

and if, after the foregoing statements, the pub.

to shoot as proposed, here promise not to Of
