SACRAMENTO CORRESPONDENCE.
SACRAMENTO, Feb. 26th.

oAcRAMENTo, Feb. 26th.
EDITOR DEMOCRAT Il can give you moth
ing of great interest as this time. The pro.
ceedings in the Legislature yesterday were
not of much Importance.
The Senate acted upon several local bills,
and received reports of two or three standing
committees upon minor matters.
Mr.. Peachy introduced a resolution direct
ing the Judiciary Committee to report back,
forthwith, Senate bill No. IS, an act TO con-
firm San Francisco ordinance relative to the
Bensley Water Company of that city. lie
said in support of the resolution that the
committee had reported back the bill con-
cerning the Mountain Lake Water COMPANY
bill, and that both bills ought to be before
the Senate at the same time, as they would
perhaps conflict with each other.
Mr.. Sharp moved to strike out the word
forthwith" and insert the words "on or he.
fore Wednesday next" which motion nre-
vailed, after lengthy and somewhat person
al discussion. The two San Francisco Sena-
tors are it is said, not the best of friends. and
being enlisted.on opposite Sides in two an.
tagonistic water projects for that citv. an
opportunity offered for q little sparring
which each improved. The resolution as
amended was adopted.
The Committee on Mileage reported that
S5l 90 was due to the fat Senator (Watsonl
from Santa Cruz, for mileage in starting off
with the Indian War Investigating Commit
tee and getting as far as San Francisco
Governor DOwney has approved the act
appropriating money to pay W. T. Barbour
An act to authorize the establishment of
County lnfirmaries for the relief of the indi-
gent sick, and 10 amend an act entitled 'An
act to provide for the INDECENT sick in tb
counties of this State,'" was passed. 1t con.
tains twenty seven sections, and is intended
to supersede all lows now in existence con-
cerning the care of the INDECENT sok.
In the Assembly, Messrs. Lawrence and
Conness discussed the share they took in the
discussion of the previous day on Indian
matters. Mr. Conness wanted to know ifMr
man said his remarks were prefaced with an
"if" which you know Touchstone says ia "a
great peacemaker." AS the matter stood.
after personal explanations had ended, Mr..
Lawrence may be said to have given the 'lie
circumstantial' and Mr.. Conness to have
hurled back the 'reproof valiant" l think
'if" has, in this instance, done its duty nobly.
The House referred the bill relating TO
Supreme Court Reports to the Judiciary
Committee.
Mr. Williams gave notice ola bill to pro.
vide for the construction of a State Capitol at
San Jose, "the legal and constitutional seat of
Government Of this Statel !" 1t will be re-
membered that the friends of San Jose always
claimed that the capital was not legally re
moved from that place.
Mr.. Warner introduced bill to prohibit
the inter elmarriage of first cousins, and of
whites with inferior races. 1t was read first
and second times and referred to the Judieia-
ry Committee.
An Administration Democrat formerly
resident of Ell Dorado county, and who is we'll
acquainted there, informs me that two of the
delegates from that county to the State Con-
vention elected yesterday are straight
Douglas men. Also that G win, Denver, Wei
Ter and Latham have each friends in the dele
CATION. The reason of this diversity is that
the State delegates were selected by the sew.
eral township delegations, and the choice of
each township ratified by the convention
Ofcourse, if the Buchanan men proper had
been strong enough, they would not have
permitted two Douglas men to come to the
State Convention, under any circumstances
whatever. The result cannot but be morti-
flying to the new Penn now engaged in scrib-
bling for the Gelwicks Democrat D.
