SACRAMENTO CORRESPONDENCE
SACRAMENTO, Jan. "a, 1861.
The Senate Committee on Federal Rela-
tions to-day reported on the several series of
Union resolutions heretofore referred to them
a majority favp pr Edgerton's resolutions
There are two minority reports, each recon-
mending some notifications The Republi-
cans want some expression of disapproval Of
outrages upon Northern men by Southern
mobs, as well as eensure and denunciation of
those in the North who oppose the execution
OF the Fugitive Shave Act. The subject mat

next. The news we shall receive before that
day will probably greatly change the no.

right in resorting to coercion The last dis

from his slumbers, and entertained some idea
of enforcing the laws in South Carolina. We
are rather too far from the seat of war for
our recommendations to be of great value.

In the House. the resolutions to expunge
the Broderck censure resolutions of 1859
came up, and an animated debate was had
upon motion to indefinitely postpone. The
motion was lost by vote of 50 ayes to 40
noes. The censure resolutions are a lie, as is
admitted by their friends; for Broderick did
not disobey instructions on the Lecompton
question. He received no instructions until
some days after his honest and manly vote
had been recorded against the measure which
Many who insist that the censure NJ on the
late Senator, for his language towards the
President, was deserved, say that the censure
for disobedence to instructions was uncalled
for and unjust. Could the question be thus
divided l feel sure that the latter would be
expunged. So far as his denunciations of the
President are concerned the general senti-
ment among former Administration men
seems to be that they were entirely true, but
were in bad taste. Many who. year ago,
thought it sacrilege to speak disrespectfuly
of Buchanan, nov declare very emphatically
that "Broderick told the truth-Old Buck
has exhibited the petuant passion and the
trembling dotage of an old man upon the
verge of the grave"
An Act to provide Commissioner on be-
half of the State to act in conjunction with
the U. s. Boundary Commissioner was made
the special oLder for Thursday next. There
will be strong contest for the place of Com
missioner. The avowed Breckinridgers and
their little squad of allies from the Demo-
cratic camp would like very much to rule the
roast in the matter, as well as in Senatorial
and all other matters, but they lack both
strength and organization.
1t Is not yet made public whether or not
any Senatorial aspirants will speak upon the
great issue of the day on Saturday next, as
requested to do by the Assembly.
The Assembly to-day passed Bill to pro-
vide for the funding of so much of the debt
of Yuba county as was created by the Coun-
ty Hospital prior to Oct. lst 1860.
One of the gentlemen who bolted the Dem
oeratic caucas and voted against John Con-
ness, asked Democratic member in good
standing if he did not think a Senatorial eau
Gus ought to be held pretty soon. "What do
you want caucus held for" was the re,
sponse, $50 that you can bolt again :" "Heads
win tails you lose," is the rule with GER
tain class of people, and has been for some
time. No man who countenanced the boiling
ofpretended Democrats on the Speakership
will receive any considerable support from
the Democratic ranks in the Legislature, for
the United States Senatorship. see no rea-
son to change my previously expressed opin-
ion that "no Senator will be elected this
winter" CAp,ro1
