The BALL ON MONDAY Nionr.-We un.
Intentionally omitted to notice the soiree
given by the Turn Verein Association on
Monday night. 1t was very numerously at
tended by both ladies and gentlemen. aud
dancing was kept up until nearly daylight,
All present seemed to bo joyed to their
hearts content, notwithstanding some
graceless scamp was malicious enough to in
terrupt the general good feeling and happi-
ness that prevailed, by throwing quantity
of pepper or some such pungent substance
upon the floor. We cannot believe that any
person who was present at the dance could
do so disgraoeful an act, and think it must
have been performed by some contemplate
creature from the ontside. The substance
whatever it was, doubtless was thrown into
the room through one of the windows. The
scape-gallows who would perpetratc such a
deed of petty malice, richly merits a lastin g
position on the chain gang.
The profits arising frem this soiree must
have been amply sufficient to pay all the ex
pcnscs, and most likely put money into the
Turner's treasury. We trust this will not
be the last of these pleasant "rc.uuions."

SUICIDE. We learn from the Un,on OF
Tuesday, that one John Anrau, German,
committed suicide in Sacramento. on Mon.
day evening, by shooting himself through
the head with pistol. The deceased was
an ardent admirer Of Maria Rupp, tho wo.
man who was murdered some months since
by German named Metz. The suicide was

THAT WAS RATHER SrRoNG.-Tho other
day. General Allen wanted to puff lady
who had superintended certain fd6ieaur
viponts that were exhibited TO him and
other connoisseurs Of art at ladies festival
being held in Marysville. and where he
should have shd in the columns Of the News
that the lady alluded to exhibited much
"classic taste and esthetic acumen," the
"villainous types"--of course--madc him
shy "dthiefic acumen." Now We didn't see
the pictures that the General admired so
much. but really we have seen tabieaur
piunnts where "athletic would have been
the best descriptive adjective that could
possibly have been used. However. the
General notices the erratum aud promptly
apologies for having lot it appear, aud
says that It was "abominably ridiculous"
Well. so it was, and funny, too. athletic

SAM. BRANNAN CLEANED OUT.--We see
by the Sacramento papers, that the rcdoubt
able Sam. Brannan and man named Haven.

Ben. Moulton, on Saturday, on Montgomery

coats off and pitched into Ben, and he whip

AMENDING THE ATTACHMENT LAWS
Senator Ferguson's bill amending tho At
tachment Law has passed the Legisla-
ture, and will doubtless receive the sigma
ture Of the Governor. We are unacquaint-
cd with all the provisions Of this amendatory
act, only knowing that it modihes very es-
sentially the manner Of applying the attach
ment law--an instrument which has worked
much evil through its too general use and
the oppressive and unjust ends 1t has hith-
erto been made to subserve. IL the mercan-
tile community cannot transact business
without the protection afforded by this very
dangerous law, dangerous, because SO liable
to abuse, let all laws for collection of debts
DO repealed at once, and business be forced
upon cash basis.

OF little work to the legislative porters II

when the House of Congress are IN session,

offer rs an amendment, that when the Leg
islature is sitting the flag fly Union down
