SACRAMENTO, March 11th 1860.
Ed. Democrat.-The past week has passed pleas
antly away, and save few knock downs and Lit
tie scandal nothing has occurred to interrupt the
usual monotony. Business has been very brisk, anc
prospects for the future are indeed fattering.
Here is sketch for you-a "wee" bit of scandal
which will probably be interesting to some Of YOU
readers. II has created quite an excitement among
the fair sex here. The parties are young man
named Howe, Cvery fast) and a Mrs. Revere
Howe is employed In Crockers dry goods store, and
by some accident Mrs. r. found her way to said
store, and there unfortun ately made the acquaint
ance of H. which soon grew into friendliness, so
much that the husband Of Mrs. II. forbade h. his
house, and in fact gave his spouse orders to cut his
acquaintance. This so enraged the fair that she
suddenly left her lege and proceeded to San Fran
cisco. Mr.. r. Immediately followed her thither, and
by accident called at the post Office and there got
letter directed to his wife, signed by Howe. This SO
enraged him that he took the first boat and returned
to this place. and proceeded to the store Of Crocke,
and there cowhided the gay Lothario. Howe, who
has been living rather fast, will undoubtedly be ta-
ken back by this transaction and yacate the city OF
his present abode, and hereafter soiourn in some
far off land. Anything for bit Of romance you
know.
Caulfeld, who was stabbed a short time since, by
Nolan, has been very low through the week. BY
the ad-tce Of his physician, he signed his will on
Tuesday last but he still has hopes of speedy re-
recovery.
II - H. o,.~Iar of 10
confined in the station house awaiting his execution
He seems composed and resigned to his fate.
understand he is about to make full confession, in
which he acknowledges the killing of Ritz.
Kibbee's Indian war bill created quite an excite
ment. You no doubt have formed an opinion in
regard to it, suffice to say few more trips OF this
kind would sweep the treasury.
Mr. Welty, of Sacramento, has made many friends
among our fremen, by the introduction Of bill to
exclude fremen from the payment Of poll tax. 1t
is not the amount of the tax they look at, but the
disposition shown by Mr. Welty on the part Of our
citizens that the fremens services appreciated
He was opposed by Mr.. Conness, but after an ex-
citing debate the bill was ordered to an engross-
ment
The Bulkheaders seem TO be confident Of success;
and the fact is, everything at present is in their
favor; but their enemies are making desperate
struggle to defeat the bill 1t will probably be taken
up again within the next two weeks.
The Telegraph bill was taken up in the Senate
again on Tuesday and the prospects in favor of its
passage very hattering. Just think in less than
a year California will be within few hours commu-
nication with the Atlantic States. Ten years ago
such thing would have been considered an absurd
ity. We are indeed fast people.
The Bachelors homestead bill was passed in the
Assembly on a reconsideration, after much debate
and merriment.
BY the arrival of the last overland MALL / notice
the death of Senator Broderck has been announced
in Congress. But those that called themselves his
best friends in life were quiet Gwin, Of course,
had nothing to say Of his distinguished colleague.
Judge Haun paid high tribute to the deceased
Senator.
washoe is the great topic Of conversation. 1t is
expected a great many will start from here within
the next month, and every body seems confident
Of success II reports from there to any extent
true, Washoe is ahead of the world on silver.
Amusements are in fourishing condition. On
Monday Prof Anderson appeared in his great char
acter Of Rob Roy to a crowded house, and fully
sustained his reputation. On Tuesday night he
appeared as William, in Black Eyed Susan, to an
other full house.
On Wednesday night, Mrs. Harriet Gordon COM
menced an engagement Of two weeks. She has
been greeted with crowded houses every night. She
is perfect gem.
The Golden Gate is expected to night, or in the
morning. will telegraph you all her news of i'm
portance. The overland mail is also due, but has
not yet been telegraphed. B.
