NEARLY A AScRIMMAGE.-Messrs.G Galbraith and
Lee held quite animated discussion in the
Assembly, yesterday afternoon which was the
occasion of the House adjourning SO early. Mr..
Galbraith rose to question of privilege, on the
ground that the Mountain Democrat had accused
him falsely of having pledged himself to support
Placerville as the county seat of Ell Dorado
This he denied, when Mr.. Lee said it was true,
and that it could be proved by dozen persons
who were present when he committed himself.
Mr.. Galbraith, in turn, told him what he said
was falsehood, and he knew it. Mr. Lee then
sarcastically remarked, that he respected Mr..
G. gray hair. Mr.. Galbraith, enraged, turned
and in fierce tones gave Mr.. Lee to understand
that his gray hairs need not stand in the way of
any demonstration; that he would meet Mr.
Lee in any manner, shape, or under any circum-
sttnces he wished. The House, finding it al
most impossible to restrain the gentleman then
adjourued.-Sac. Age, Feb 25.

BsA. The New York Herald published the
other day, the silly statement that Mr.. Buchanan
contemplates Withdrawing the troops from Utah,
Mr. Bernhisel having submitted propositions in
dicatng Willingness on the part of the Mormons
to colonize some island outside the jurisdiction
of the United States, provided the United States
Government will purchase at fair valuation,
Salt Lake city and the Mormon Improvements.
Bernhisel asks commissioners to go and arrange
the terms and details. 1t is true that Dr. Bern
hisel has had several long interviews with the
President relative to affairs in Utah. He pro-
posed that the troops be withdrawn, and that a
Commission be dispatched to the Territory to
arrange for the settlement of the difficulties
The President rejected rather than received the
proposition which Bernhisel made in virtue of
his powers as delegate of Utah, and not pursu-
ant of instructions from Governor Young The
Doctor says that the people are disposed to
peace. and would come to any reasonable terms
of accommodation.

FATHER OF THOMAS JEFFERsoN.-In Randall 8
biography of Thomas Jefferson just issued from
the press, we find the following reference to the
father of the distinguished author of the Deca-
ration of Independence:
He was of gigantic stature-plain, and adverse
to display he was grave, taciturn, slow to
make, and not over prompt to accept advances.
He was one of those calm and almost sternly
self-relying men, who lean on none-who desire
help from none And he certainly had both
muscle and mind which could be trusted! He
could simultaneously ''head up' (raise from
their sides to an upright position) two hogs
heads of tobacco, weighing nearly thousand
pounds apiece. He once directed three able
bodied slaves to pull down a ruinous shed by
means of a rope. After they had again and
again made the effort, he bade them stand aside,
seized the rope, dragged down the structure in
an instant. Traditions have come down of his
continuing his lines as a surveyor through saw
age wildernesses, after his assistants had given
out from famine and fatigue subsisting the
raw flesh of game, and even of his pack mules,
when other food failed.

The queen of spain and her P.r.mour.

The Madrid correspondent of the London Id
rertiser, in describing the fuss and fummery at
tendant upon the late birth of the Spanish royal
supposed illegitimate) baby, says that when
the pains of labor were approaching, the pangs
of remorse rushed in upon the Queen, and re-
preached her with her dissolute career. She
sent for Archbishop Claret. The Queen begged
his counsel, and as he is courtler, he told her
Majesty that her conduct made her the subject
of ribald jests, and as she was about to be ex-
posed to the perils attendant upon child birth,
he exhorted her to Danish her paramour, Pug
Moro, from the palace and the country. The in-
crcasing pangs of the crisis added force to the
holy fathers persuasions, and promise was
made; but the Archbishop, not content with the
royal word, exhorted written promise to that
effect
He followed up his success by an exhortation
to his royal auditor to be reconcied to her hus-
band, and even if she felt unable to love him,
he urged her to have more respect for the pro-
prietes of life, and to appear constantly with
him before her subjects Having obtained a
promise to that effect, he repaired to the king 5
apartments and gave him like counsel. The
kings promise, was. however. conditional only;
he would consent to be reconciled to his wife
only on condition that she paid his debts, and
that the banishment of the Queens pararnour
should be instantaneous.
The Archbishop returned with check for the
payment of the Kings debts, and the other
promises; but although the Queen has the
power to Danish her Paramour from the palace,
and could have shipped him off to the Canaries
or PHILIPPINES, wherever she chose, yet the
impudent PUG Moro refuses to be exiled, de-
mands public trial, and to know on what
charge he is arraigned. He threatens to tell
the truth If he is brought to trial, and that
mioht kp the hrazpn Oueen hluSh
compromise has been effected. to avoid the
public scandal which insistance on exile must
occasions and Colonel PUG Moro struts about
amongst his fellow citizens, who have yet enough
of the leaven of ROYALTY in them to look with
feelings something akin to Difference and respect
on one who has sustained such intimate relations
with the Queen.
