TILE STATE FAIR.

The annual State Fair opened at Sacramento on
Tuesday the 18th, and win close day after to-mor-
row. The people of the State seem to have taken
unusual interest in the Fair and the attendance has
been unprecedented. A large number of people
from Nevada and vicinity have gone down to wit
ness the exhibition, and those who have returned,
speak in the highest terms of the manner in which
the Fair has been conducted The Sacramento Bee
of Saturday thus alludes to the appearance of the
city during last week
The streets up town and the public places down
town look in many respects for the last few days,
much as they did in the golden days OF lo49-5O.
The houses are better the streets BETTER the red
and grey and blue shirts have given place to white,
and coats and "stovepipe" hats to be the fash
ion now. But the new faces the stir, the excite
ment of those days are to very great extent upon
MS. We have music in our saloons. banners float
ing, canvas signs flying, "rondo" and other games
in full blast, canvas houses and tents in the upper
portion of the city, exhibitions of every kind ra-
ces regattas and in fact all the glories of the past
with comparatively few of its evilsfor sobrety is,
so far as we have observed, distinguishing feature
of the present. In fact the liquor Saloons or that
portion of them which may be termed extra, that
were established for the occasion only, complain
that their business is not such they had reason
to expect it would be- yet few Of them seem to be
doing thriving business. But accident has oc-
CURED to mar the harmony of the exhibition or
cloud the enjoyment of the numerous visitors. Or
der and gentilty have reigned in every department.
The visitors take care to give oense, and the Of
fcers are on the lookout that none shall be given

proper spirit exhibited it will so continue.

MARITIME NEGoTIATIoNs.-A correspondent
of the N. Y. Journal of Commerce, referring to
the incorrect statement that our Government
had given up privateering, says:
"The matter stands, as it has done, for some
time, and is yet under negotiation. The pres
ent Administration has not only refused to ac-
cede to to the absurd and unequal proposition,
but has withdrawn the Marcy propositions, which
was to place all private property aaoat on the
ocean on the same footing, in time of war, as
it is on land: that is-tbat it shall be exempt
from capture, in case of war, either by volun-
teer or regular armed vessels of war;
Great Britain was very slow even to come
into the Marcy proposition. But we cannot
meet her on that ground alone. 1t is under
stood that our Government has demanded in
addition to the exemption of private property
afioat from capture by the British Navy, some
very important concessions in regard to CON-
mercial bockades"

TIE WISE LETTER.-The Washington cores
pondent of the New York Herald, in letter da.
led August 10th, says:
Senator Douglas appears to be utterly dis
gusted at the progress of the developments
which are gradually being made in relation 10
the Wise Donnelly letter. There is nc doubt
that. in common with Dickinson, of New York,
and Wise, of Virginia, he had considered Fer
nando Wood as fully pledged to his own inter-
ests. Mr.. Wood had been in the habit of visit
ing and consulting with him in the most conf
Dental manner during his frequent visits to the
national capital and, even while visiting at the
house of the late Postmaster General Brown.
spent more time at the mansion of the Little
Giant than with his osensible host. Mr..
Douglas friends cry out loudly that he is one
of betrayed trio, and thus another imbroglio
wholly unanticipated is isproduced by the famous
letter which Mr. Cassidy gave to the public at
Albany, while pretending to doubt its genuine
ness.

FUNERAL CEREMoNIEs.-Tbe funeral of Sena.
tor Broderick took place at San Francisco on
Sunday afternoon, and the demonstration was
perhaps the most imposing of any of the kind
that ever occurred in the State. II is stated
that over five thousand persons came and took
last look of the deceased during Saturday
and Sunday morning, and about three thousand
persons followed his remaius to Lone Mountain
Cemetery. The funeral grafton was pronounc-
ed by Col. E. D. Baker, which is feeling and
just tribute to the memory of the departed Sen
ator. From telegraph to the Union, we learn
that lot in the most eligible position at the
Lone Mountain Cemetery has been selected,
where monument is to be erected TO his MEM
ory.
The Nevada Democrat., 1859-09-21

of last week Of Mr. Broderick's death, turned
ou. to be incorrect. A telegraphic dispatch
was received here about three O'Clock stating
that he died at two, and other dispatches to the
same effect were received from persons below,
to friends here, during the afternoon. At eight
O'Clock, on Tuesday evening, our paper went
to press, and as the report of his death had not
been contradicted up to that time, the paper
appeared in mourning. Dispatches were re-
ceivad an hour or two later stating that Mr..
Broderick was not dead, but we were not ad.
vised of this until after our paper had been
worked off,

The Cause of the Duel.

On our hrst page will be found an article
from the Sacramento Bee, in regard to the cause
o. the late fatal duel Since that article was
in type the seconds of Judge Terry have pub
lished the correspondence between the prnc-
pals, and statement will undoubtedly soon be
made by the seconds of Senator Broderick.
The primary cause Of the duel was the scurrll-
GUS speech made by Terry, before the late Le'
compton State Convention, in regard to Mr..
Broderick and his friends, which was as uncalled
for as it was degrading to the author. On
reading Terry's speech morning or two after,
at the international Hotel, Broderck remarked
that he had once said Terry was the only up
right man on the Supreme Bench. but he be-
lieved he would now have to take that back.
The correspondence as published shows that
this was the expression which Terry construed
into a mortal offense. The first note from Terry
was a demand that Broderick should retract
anything be may have said rejecting upon
Terry's character as an officer but as Terry
was the aggressor, and bad first made use OF in
sulting epithets, it was his duty, unless he was
determined to force hostile meeting to with
draw what he had said in regard to Broderick.
which he could bouorably have done. and the
difficulty might then have been amicaby ar
ranged. The facts so far as published. show
conclusivey that Terry was determined to
force Broderick into fight, or else impose such
conditions as no honorable man could assent TO-.
Terry was regarded as the most expert duelist
in the State and whether he was urged on by
interested parties, aud acted in the capacity OF
hired assassin, or whether he was Influenced
by desire TO put out of the way political op-
ponent whom he both feared and hated, it mat
ters not now, since the object of the public
pluuderers and hungry offce-seekers has been
accomplished. The deed was as foul and dam
ming as any that ever blackened the annals OF
crime. and the conviction that Broderick fell
victim to bs political opinions, has taken
deep hold of the public mind.

CoLoRApo TERRToRY.-As far as returns
have been received, it appears that about three
fourths of the voters of the six southern coun.
ties have voted in favor of division of the
State. As the act of last winter only requires
a two-thirds vote, the division scheme has un-
doubtedly been carried go far as this State is
concerned, provided the act is constitutional
Before any further action can be had. the con-
sent of Congress will have to be obtained to
the division of tho State there is no probabil.
ity that Congress will give its consent to the
scheme.
