Sacramento News.


We have received letter from friend in
Sacramento, concerning matters and things
OF the Capitol. Mr.. Grifiths substitute fsr
the original San Francisco and Marysville
Railroad bill, was before the Senate on the
26th. and was ordered to be engressedA af-
ter it had been trimmed to suit the Sacra-
mento delegation, that is to say, after those
sections had been stricken out requiring
that the State should surrender her right to
the alternate section Of the swamp and over
flowed lands. The bill will probably pass,
granting the company only the right of way.
and license to construct bridge across tho
Sacramento river.
1t is thought that the project Of extending
the Sacramento Valley Railroad from Fol-
som, will meet with general favor from the
counties bordering on the Valley.
A bill was introduced into the Assem-
bly, on Saturday, to prevent the emigration
Of Chinese into California, and TO tax those
now here 1t will probably pass.
They begin to talk strongly of moving the
Capitol again. An attempt will be made to
shift it to Oakland The writer thinks the
valley has had it long enough, and that i,
should be given to some of the mining coun-
ties. We think the legislature ought tt
move it to Oroville.
1t is thought by many in Sacrgmento tina,
the decision recently rendered by the Su'
preme Court, in the case Of Boegs vs.. the
Merced Mining Company, will not stand II
has caused quite sensation throughout the
State.
