DAVID G. BRoDERIcK- Union, speak
ing of Senator Holdens notice that he in
tended to introduce a resolution requesting
Mr. Broderick to resign his seat in the United
States Senate, says:
"Ths we denominate an exhibition of party
and personal opposition of a most rAnkerous
character"
The Union might have said "of a most ran
tdnkerOus character" and come still nearer
the truth. Fill the Legislature with lot of
Holdens and we should have some queer
work Requesting a United States Senator
to resign, when he will no more regard the
request than he would the idle wind How
peurile Especially so, coming from the
very men who voted for him when he was
elected to his present position These men
pretend to say that Mr. Broderick was never
the choice of the people for United States
Senator. Why the deuce, then, did they
vote for him? Such perfect sefstultifca-
tion has seldom been witnessed. 1t seems to
us that men might be strong partisans with.
out so mserably sacrificing their dignity.

The TEHAuSrEPEc RoUTE.-Ths regular
correspondent Of the National writes that the
Tehauntepe: Company are getting on finely
with the road. 1t is in excellent order with
the exception of two and half miles on the
Atlantic side, which is rather muddy on ac-
count of the heavy showers which occur oc-
casonally at night This difficulty, howev-
err will soon be remedied. The bridge at La
Porte has been completed, and is very sub
stantial piece of workmanship. The work
bridging Serabia river will be commenced
Immediately. For the purpose of ensuring
the safety of passengers, mails and treasure,
an efficient mounted guard, well armed, &c
companies each train during the entire trip.
At no distant day this will be the route for

for the road and the company are doing the

A SINGULAR CIRoUMsTANcE.-We under.
stand that woman, somewhat advanced in
years. long known as the keeper Of a house
of ill-fame in this city, has recently been
married to a man who has been living with
her in an unlawful connection, for a conside-
rable length of time. 1t seems that this man
had a wife in the States, who, notwithstand-
ing her knowledge of his faithlessness. would
not sue him for divorce. A separation, by
act of law, was much desired by his bawdy
mistress and himself Recently, a negotia-
tion with the obstinate wife, in the States
was set on foot, and she was finally induced
to take steps for a divorce, and the result
was legal separation by Judgment of com
petert court. In consideration of this favor,
the bawdy house syren paid to the divorced
wife, as per arrangement. $4,000 in cash. and
her exhusband married the said syren as
above related We call this q rather queer
case.

tE A bill to abolish slavery in Nebraska,
says the Tribune, was introduced at the ses-
sion of the Territorial Legislature which has
Just concluded What disposition was made
of it we are not informed. We have before
us, however, the report of the minority of
the Committee to which it was REFEREED
The report recommends the indefinite post
ponemeut of the bill on the ground that such
legislation is unnecessary. slavery" says
the report, "does not exist in this Territory
in any practicable form, and cannot so exist
without affirmative legislation recognizing
the right of property in slaves and regula-
ting the mode of protecting and con
trolling them, and of enforcing that
right. The abstract right under the Consti-
tuition which is claimed by some, is in fact
only an inchoate right, which can have no
practical importance in the absence of 10
cal police regulations upon that subject"

THEATER.-A very respectable number Of
the lovers Of the opera were present, last
evening, at the second appearance Of Signora
and Signor Bianchi Their execution of the
master pieces of the Italian operatic muse
was most beautiful and perfect eliciting the
most enthusiastic applause from every com
petent judge of music in the very intelligent
audience assembled The blended power and
melody of voice possessed by these two su
perb artists is truly wonderful. and is the re-
suit of many years of studious cultivation
We should like much to see the proper en-
couragement given to this species of perform
ance in Marysville, but know not how it may
be. Sacramento has shown herself without
any sort of taste for it, and it may be the
same way with Marysvile. In San Francis
co, it is duly appreciated and the fact speak:
we'll for the musical tastes of its cstizens
Should Signora and Signor Bianchi conclude
to give another performance in this city, the
public will be advised in due time Before
closing this brief notice, however, we must
be allowed to pay tribute of admiration to
the excellent orchestra with which these ar.
lists are accompanied. The performances OF
the orchestra are worth going miles to hear
They are indeed beautiful.

man with a razor, and inficting a gash on

TORTURE week ago, says the
San Francisco National, Chinese girl went
to Chief Burke and informed him that she
had been severely beaten, or rather tortured
by an instrument like brush, only that in
stead of bristles, slips of wood are inserted
into the handle According to the girls Nc-
count, the old woman who was thus punish
ing her, has often been guilty of torturing
others in the same manner and had even
gone so far as to poison some Chinese girl:
who had become too sick to do her atrociou'
bidding.
