mindful of such tactics; Eugene Sullivan, profni

Full advices from Oregon explain the progress
Of the Legislature. The attempted adjournment
of the House sine de as advised by the last Ex-
press has been entirely receded from and decided
to have been impossible under the circumstances
existing when attempted. There was much popu-
lar indignation at the attempt both in the Senate
and House, to destroy the session by premature
and illegal adournments, as well as by the seces-
sion of factious members, so as to deprive either
body of quorum. At the last accounts testify
both houses were in session duly organized. The
six absent Senators had returned taking their seats
in the Senate, and ratified the Informal proceedings
had in their absence.
The Governor sent in his message on the 25th.
1t takes strong Breckenridge grounds on national
politics. He also protests that he will call no ex-
ira session if the Legislature adjourns without
pone the election two years, the sessions being
biennial. Under these circumstances, IL is thought
popular camor will insist on an election and other
legislation during the balance of the forty days,
for which time only the session constitutionally
| lasts.
The following Geographic dispatch, which reached
San Francisco to-day, is the latest intelligence and
| all that has been received this week:

sembly yesterday for joint convention, to con-

but met with strong opposition by the Breckenridge
Democrats in the House. There is no certainty Of
| an election taking place at the time specified.
There is no California news.

TETON, with party Of fourteen men, on the 9th
