SACRAMENTO. March 2lst.

signs of sorrow upon the couuteuances ol Ihe
Yuba delegation in the Legislature, yester-
day, when your city papers were opened
containing the result OF the municipal cleo
tion. Those who are informed concerning
YuJa county matters, must, of course, rejoice
that the little squad Of would be leaders have
so signally proven unequal to lead the De-
moeracy of Marysville to anything but de-
feat, while they regret that such leather
heads should ever have been permitted to so
utterly demoralize the party as they have.
Those who are unacquainted with the local
politics Of Yuba, except from reading the
local papers, aver that they are at loss to
understand which is. and which is not the
Democratic party there. The fact is, the
Guba county Administration leaderS-those
who have been in possession of the boiling
county organization since its foundation in
ls5S-are not very highly esteemed among
their own brethren in other counties. 1t is
well known that they are usurpers, and that
they generally desire two or three places on
State tickets, and a good share of the spoils
generally. They are not personally known,
and when the last State Convention was in
session here pointed out to some Admins
tration politicians this man and that of the
Yuba delegation, who, if | should mans
them, would blush with modification at being
told of their own obscurity. Ifthe little pro-
70, 10 tfor,, ot
representing Yuba in State Convention by
the aid Of outlandish, silly and uncalled for
tests any decent set of Democrats, coming
with any respectable endorsement, will be
readily substituted for the hungry crew.
Really, their greediness so persistently mani
tested, and so entirely and uniformly disre-
garded, causes the mention of Y uba, during
political conversation, to be a signal for
series of jokes and accompanying laughter.
The result of Monday however, apparently
lets these gentlemen out, and therefore it is
a waste of time and paper to continue the
subject. Their "laSt choice" will be nomina-
ted at Charleston, and they will then be en-
abled to practice meekness and lowliness
of spirit, while the true Democracy conduct
the campaign.
Since my last, the Bulkhead Committee
of the Senate have presented majority and
minority reports, and the subject has been
made the special order of the day for Thurs
day at twenty-five minutes past eleven, and
for the same hour every day thereafter until
disposed of 1t will pass the Senate without
doubt, and the hopes of its friends that it
will also pass the House, seem sufficiently
well grounded to prompt the anti-bulkhead
organs at San Francisco to commence appeal
ing to the Governor to interpose his veto.
The majority report of the committee recon-
mends number of amendments to the orig
inal bill, among which is one providing for
the reversiop of the entire contemplated
bulkhead property to the State, free of cost,
at the expiration Of fifty years from the pas
sage of this act.
The bulkhead business throws Kirkpatrck's
revenue bill over among the unfinished bus-
ness, and it may not be reached before ad-
journment SO your county officers who are
concerned in the collection of the revenue
may rest in comparative quiet until further
notice.
The adjournment will probably take place
promptly at the expiration of ninety days
from the ID of January, as, at that time
the per diem comes down fifty per cent.
Tuesday, the resolutions asking the Fed
eral Government to dismiss the New Alma
den Mine injunction was passed in the SEN
ate, and yesterday, upon motion to recon
.ider, long debate was had, in which Edg,r.
ton, Anderson, Wheeler, Peachy and Ander
son were most prominent. Edgerton aud
Wheeler were on opposite sides, and each
made a good speech. AS l entered the SEN
ate chamber the former had Just concluded,
and was told by several friends in the lobby
that he had spoken with great effect. Wat
son made some characteristic remarks and
then came Wheeler's reply to Edgerton's
speech. 1t was keenly sarcastic, at times,
powerfully argumentative at others, and ex-
ceedingly eloquent and captivating through
out. The best public speaker in the State
was in the lobby, and remarked to person
near him, wheeler is the best speaker in the
Senate"
On the committee board in the Senate
observed notice for meeting of the Com
mittee on Claims, of which Senator Watkins
is chairman. His labors upon that commit
tee alone, this winter have been enough to
tax any one man and add to these the work
assigned to him upon the Capitol, Bulkhoad
and other important Committees, all of which
he has faithfully and zealously performed
and you will see that he has no easy position
He Is one of the most popular men among
the Senators, and his support of measure,
or opposition to it, is deemed most important
in figuring up its chances,
The Assembly have enacted Prof Whitney,
who came strongly endorsed by "wise men
of the East" to be State Goologist, with a

A bill is before the Legislature to appro-
propriate $4,000 to the German Benevolent
Society at San Francisco Another proposes

that capital should remain idle in so thrifty
State as California. D.
