SACRAMENTO. Jan. 90, go.
EDIroR DEMocRAT:-The great question is
at last settled. The State Fair is to be again
held at Sacramento. Oakland is exceedingly
wroth, and will do her best to get even with
her rivalO The movement towards perma-
nently locating the Seat of Government at
Oakland may be part ofthe programme for
revenge A bill for that purpose was this
day introduced into the Senate by Mr. Red
man. The tillers Of the soil were not so very
anxious in this matter, so far as | could learn.
They would as soon go to one place, perhaps.
as another, to trot out big beets, pretty
peaehes and fat cattle. The most active ones
am told were people who had wares to
sell, and didn't care how many buyers might
be brought to Sacramento to see the show at
the Fair. Well, whatever brought it about,
the result is good one There is fine
building all ready built here Hotels, and
whiskey mills are plenty. and the location
is somewhere near central At Oakland. the
accommodations for crowd would perhaps
be but meagre. Everyone would be back
ward about fitting up places of entertain
ment, for they would fear that the great
crowd would prefer living at San Francisco
during the Fair week. The ferry boats
would be uncomfortably loaded all the time
and would get to sticking in the mud, and
things would go bad generally at Oakland,
all of which is respectfully submitted, &c.
Another grand Inauguration ceremony
took place to-day in the Senate chamber
Senators Quin and Lansing were notified by
a Committee that they had been elected re-
spectively, as President and Vice President
pro tem of the Senate, and having made
their appearance before that body were in
troduced by the Chairman, (Senator Merritt)
who added that they would now deliver their
inaugural addresses Judge McKune was
present and administered the oath of Offics
with due gravity, and the two promoted
made short speeches, returning thanks, DC
The affair was in part, piece of good hu-
mored fun, but, be it understood, of a very
grave and Senatorial sort.
The Sheriffs and Tax Collectors may ms
well commence to gather in at the Capitol,
for the Revenue Bill drawn by kirkpatrick
and defeated last winter, was by him brought
forward to-day. 1t was referred to the FL
nance Committe, md Mr. Kirkpatrick was
added to the committee. There is storm
lowering over the heads of those who collect
the revenue, and the general order of "all
hands on deck should be passed around.
Mr.. Peachy, the newly elected San Fran
cisco Senator, has made move in a good a..
rection. lie has offered joint resolution,
which the Senate adopted, urging upon the
POstoffice Department to cause the ocean
mails to be transmitted as promptly as they
were under the former contract.
In the House to-day, the Committee on
Elections, to whom were referred the paper
in the contested elections case of Gallaghe
VS.. Tilton, reported adversely TO the contest
ant, but recommended that the parties be
heard at the bar of the House. A resolution
was adopted fixing Tuesday the 3lst inst, for
hearing the case.
The Express is entitled to credit for its in
dependence in relation to the proposition for
electing another United States Senator this
winter hope that all the papers through
out the State. which have been friendly to
the Weller cause, will be as outspoken on
the subject.
The failure of the Anti-Lecompton Com
mittee to call any Convention for choosing
national delegates, was perhaps the best
move left on the board. The Administration
of James Buchanan being on the verge of
dissolution, the existence of an dnti-Adnain-
istration Democratic party at least, is no
longer necessary. Uncle Jeems will hardly
trouble us again. He has been at times a
Ieete obnoxious to some good Democrats, but
he is old, his power wanes steadily and ra.
pidly, and why should he be quarrelled
about any longer
believe the action of the Committee is
generally approved by anti -Lecomp pton DEM
ocrats here. D.
