SACRAMENTO FEE. 10 1885,
l have neglected writing for couple Of
days, owing to an insufficiency Of ideas and
news.
The papers throughout the State are just
ly condemning the base and cowardly attack
made on Mr. Center Of San Francisco, and
as matter Of course attributed by the rabid
Vigilante papers to McGowan; which from
all can learn is without foundation, as
have heard several respectable gentlemen
who denounced the attack as cowardly and
brutal, say McGowan was not in the theatre
at the time, but at least square distant.
From what can gather, the base and brutal
assault was made by gang Of rowdies
" Native and to the manner born" Gas it
were> who entered the theatre by force, and
cared not what may have been the pretext
so they could have some one, on whom to
display the wolfsh instinct Of their nature.
With as much truth could the attack with O
slung shot made on an attache Of the Union
some weeks since be attributed to hatred
Of Vigilantes, and if ever discovered, the
same party will have been found to have
committed both outrages. 1t is a libel on
those, who are and were law and order men
through principle, that such scenes should
be enacted.
The wrongs perpetrated by the Vigilante 8
during their reign Of terror, should never be
a pretext to have them hunted and abused
by blackguards and ruftians who care no
more for law and order than the Vigilantes
themselves.
The Forrest Theatre was opened on Mon.
day with Miss Soto as the principal attrac-
ton, but for lack of funds in the treasury
only made one appearance.
The river is now booming, and we have
no more complaints about the Hogs Back
Every other day we have an opposition, when
the sonorous and musical voices of the Run
ners which equal the roarings of mad bull
can be heard. Eres your opposition boat
Maria, only one dollar to the Bay, &c. The
public are gamers and generally make it
convenient to travel on those days.
l cannot give you any items as to the Leg
islature as l never go to the House, owing
to a natural dullness which does not re nder
me capable of approaching many of the ir
oratorical efforts
The Hon Stephen J. Field is in San Fran
else oquite un well. sincerely wish he may
speedily recover for we want some one on
the Supreme bench.
The decision of the two learned Soons in
the Archy case is extremely mortifylng to
the friends Of law; by which | mean those
who consider that word as synonymous with
right aud Common sense.
| am great believer in the peculiar in
stitution, and when 60 to that " Bourne
from whence no traveller returns, shall
vote for it but do not consider any court
has the power to grant any privileges to in
dividuals which is denied by the constitution,
when the instrument does not conflict with
that Of the United States. | am no lawyer,
but such are my opinions, and will also say
that had the case been left to three or more
Southern gentlemen for arbitration they
would have decided in favor of the boy.
When Mr. Holiday of San Francisco, was
spreading himself on the Mob Bill, he cast
some aspersions derogatory to Mr.. C. X.
Garrison; but after visit paid him by the
son of that gentleman William Il. of San
Francisco, he discovered that mistatements
had been made by him and DiHingiy agreed
to rise to question of privilege.
| am pleased to inform you that A. II. Es-
tella Esq. of Solano, has received an appoint
ment under the present Secretary Of State.
Mr.. T. is q young man eminently qualified
by capacity and honesty for a better posi-
ton.
Judge Saxton is here and appears as well
pleased as his acquaintance are to see him.
