SACRAMENTO ELEcTIoN.-By the provisions
of the Consolidation Bill, the people of Sac
ramento city and county held an election on
Monday last, for six Supervisors. There were
two tickets in the field. One was the regular,
simon-pur Administration Democratic, the
other an Independent ticket made up of, and
supported by, the property ty-holders, mechan-
les and business men of all parties. The re-
suit was a complete triumph for the "Inde-
pendents." The Democracy was routed, 'horse,
foot and Dragons" The whole "Indepen-
dent ticket was elected by majority of $50,
"a majority unprecedented in the county,
The "mud-sills of society" are still capable of
demonstrating the solidity of their political
foundation. The Sacramento Union remarks
of this election
So far as the friends of President Buchan-
an and his policy could make the issue between
him and his policy and the rest of mankind, in
the contest yesterday, it was made. They did
their utmost to rally all who sustained him
and his Kansas policy to their ticket Had
the Buchanan Ticket succeeded it would have
been claimed positively as Lecompton vic
tory by the Statesman and Mercury; as it was
terribly beaten, it will hardly be considered a
Buchanan Kansas success"

the friends OF LecOmpton, that it is not An oh
lection that should be fatal to the admission
OF State into the Union, that such Const;tp-
ton has not been submitted to the people. If
1t be ascertained that the people, as in the case
OF Minnesota, favor admission Entertaining
these views, would not oppose the admission
OF State with clause in its Constitution toll

the expressed wish of a majority of the people.
IL is conceded fact not requiring discussion
OF argument that four-ifths of the people of
Kansas are opposed to the Lecompton Consti-
tuition. 1t was fraud from its very inception.
Every election in that Territory looking to this
Constitution as a result, was founded in fraud
Senators who have preceded me have stated
at length the history of these frauds. and will
now only refer to some of them, as the facts
have not been disputed. In one precinct of
that Territory (Kickapoo) l,O29 votes were
polled on the alleged adoption of the Lecomp-
ton Constitution, while the Board of Commits
sioners, appointed by the Legislature of Kan
sas to investigate the subject, state that there
are not more than four hundred legal voters
IN that district. At another precinct SHAW
nee,) there were returned, as having bean
poled ter the Lecompton Constitution. 753
votes. The census of this place shows thirty
houses, and one hundred and fifteen LEGAL vo.
tiers. When the poll list left this town. the
record of names covered four pages of paper .
when it reached Mr.. Calhoun, it covered fifteen
pages. At still another precinct fOxford
l.266 votes are reported as having been noTled
The census shows forty-seven white ;nbah;
tants. IT. IS notorious that the people Of a
nelghboring State were permitted to vote q.
this election at such precincts, and as often -
they desired. The names of people are re
corded in the poll lists, as having voted who
had been dead for mouths. But wbv ennmar 80

Many Senators have complained of the Sen
ator from South Carolina for his denunciation
of the laborers of the North as "white slaves"
and the " mud-sills of society" quote from
his speech:
In all social systems there must be class
to do the menial duties, to perform the drudg-
cry of life. That is a class requiring but low
order of intellect, and but little skill Its
requisites are vigor, dociity, fidelity. Such a
class you must have, or you would not have
that other class which leads to progress, civil
ization and refinement. 1t constitutes the
very mud-sill ofsocety and of political govern
ment; and you might as well attempt to build
house in the air, as to build either the one or
the other except on this mud-sill Fortunate
ly for the South, she found race adapted to
that purpose to her hand-a race inferior to
her own, but eminently qualified, in temper.
in vigor, in docility, in capacity, to stand the
climate, to answer all her purposes. We use
them for our purpose and call them slaves
We found them slaves by the "common con-
sent of mankind" which, according to Cicero
tez nature est" the highest proof of what is
Natures law. We are -old-fashioned at the
South, yet it is a word discarded now bv
ears polite. will not characterize that class
at the North with that term but you have it,
it is there; tits everywhere; it is eternal.
We do not think that whites should be
slaves, either by law or necessity. Our slaves
are black, of another and inferior race. The
status in which We have placed them is an ele-
vation- They are elevated from the condition
in which God first created them, by being
made our slaves. None of that race on the
whole face of the globe can be compared with
the slaves of the South. They are happy,
content, unaspiring, and utterly incapable,
from intellectual weakness, ever to give us any

Some years ago the manager OIL "eiFe

and brisk young lacy as a supernumerary
I, hammered that the young lady 10 question
had formerly off Grated 10 some capacity as q
hand" on board a canal boat, a fact which
she was extremely anxious to conceal. She
evinced much anxiety to master the details
OF her newly chosen profession. and soon ex.
hibited a more than ordinary degree OF comic
talent. She was duly promoted. and IN time
became a general ~favorite with both manager
and public.
One night she was announced to appear IN
a ~favorite part; a couple of boatmen found
their way into the pit, near the tootlights,
particularly anxious to see the new comedi-
enne. The house was crowded, and after
the subsistence Of the general applause which
greeted her appearance, one OF the 6oatmen
slapped his companion On the shoulder, and
with an emphatic expletive, exclaimed. loud

Intense interest, and ere long he broke out

Bill, who was a good deal interested IN the
play, was out of all patience at this persist
ent interruption on the part Of Tom. lie
gave him a tremendous nudge in the ribs
with his elbow, as an emphatic hint to keep
quiet.
Tom, without minding the admonition,
said, You just wait-Plf fix her--keep your

Sure enough, he did fix her. Watching hi:

GERMAN ~1REE-FROG.

Returning from the University Of Giessen,
/ brought with me about q dozen green tree
frogs, which | had caught in the woods near
the town. The Germans call them Laub
Frosch, or leaf-frog. They are most dihcuit
things to find, Oh account Of theircolor so much
resembling the leaves on which they 1--we
] have frequently heard one singing IN a
small bush, and though l have searched
carefully, have not been able to hnd him.
The only way is to remain quite quiet till
he again begins his song. Alter much am
bush work. at length collected a dozen frogs
and put them in q bottle. l started at night
on my homeward journey by the diligence
and | put the bottle containing the frogs IL
TO the pocket inside the diligence. My fell
low-passeugers were sleepy, old. smoke-dried
Germans; very little conversation took place,
and after the first mile, every one settled
himself to sleep, and soon all were snoring
l suddenly awoke with o start and found
the ~sleepers had been reused at the same mt
ment. % their sleepy faces were depicted
fear and anger. What woke us all up 30
suddenly? The morning was just breaking,
and my frogs, though in the dark pocket OF
the coach, had found it out; and, with one &C
cord, all twelve Of them had begun their
morning song. AS if at a given signal, they
one and all Of them, began to croak as loud
as ever they could. The noise their united
concert made, seemed, in the closed compart-
mept of the coach, e"ite deafenlng; well
might the Germans look angry; they Wan',
ed 10 throw the frogs, bottle and all, out OF
the window, but l gave the bottle a good
shaking, and made the frogs keep quiet
The Germans all went to sleep again out l
was obliged to remain awake to shake the
frogs when they began to croak. ~ was
lucky that / did so for they tried to begin
