OUR SACRAMENTO LETTER.
SACRAMENTO, March 5, 1866

EDITOR JOURNAL The political cauldron still
continues to boil, and with each bubble comes
new element to the surface, which in due time is
skinned off and cast aside. The supporters of
Gen. Denver in the Douglas party being thrown
off by their allies, the Breckinrdgers are now In
trihulation.
On Tuesday the grand union meeting of the
Brecks. and Dougs, for the purpose of electing
Gen. Denver to the Senatorship, broke up in one
grand rumpus, and the consummation so devout-
Iy wished for, did not take place, The Brecks
have since that time had secret meeting, and
agreed to disagree on the Senatorial question,
unanimously"
Denver came, he saw and was vanqushed
He has now rallied his friends, and with outside
tRepubican) aid, proposes to be elected TO
that end his friends together with those OF Mo-
Dougal, have agreed upon holding joint Con-
vention on the 9th inst, at noon, which passed
both Houses. Coupling Denver's Douglas
strength with that of the Dreckinridge party,
which he certainly will get when 1t comes to the
pinch he will then want four votes of an election.
1t is said that the Republicans will vote for Nc
Dougal when the contest comes to that point
where two only arc in the field. Now comes the
nice engineering Denver would be Ounce to
do) under such state of affairs. Why then did
he, you will with propriety ask. Ah, I'll tell
you. He is said to have arranged" matters
with two Republicans, which will take two votes
from the opposition and give two to him, thus
eIecting him easily When the Denver men were
so willing to 90 into joint Convention, McDou-
gals friends should have held back but no, the
bait was too nice, and they bt-will find them
selves caught, and have the satisfaction of know
ing they were nipped in the bud" with their
eyes wide Open Sich is politics.
The worthless have concluded to wind up the
Union "yarn" on Friday next, when it is expec'
ted all will have spoken his sentiments on this
momentous question: something which your del
egation have thus far failed to do
Horace Smith, the brother inaw of Judge
Hardy, (the gentleman that cleared Judge Terry,
and who is otherwise better known in this State
as Jim Hardy,) has had an act passed granting
him q change of venue from San Francisco to
Placer county. 1t will be recolected that Smith
killed Newell, the printer, for Git is alleged)
slandering his (Smiths) wife, and fearing justice
would be metcd out to him in San Francisco, ap-
piled to the courts and was refused change of
venue. His friends have successfully got spe
cal bill through to meet the exigcncy, but the
condemnation Of the Bay press may cause the
Governor to veto il. Some of the San Francisco
Journals have gone so far that they even advise
the courts not to heed the Legislative enactment
until compelled to by the mandates of the Su-
preme Court, and even then hints are made that
a demonstration will follow by the public when
everything else fails. Your Assembl yman, Mr..
Walter voted against the bill, and | learn that
Senator Ryan was in its favor, with the amend
ment that the State pay all costs
Some persons hereabout hint that Frank Wash
inpton will be the man to contend against Denver
for the Executive chair the coming Fall, but the
report needs official confirmation. At any rate
the San Francisco Heraid. his pet publication,
has espoused a sort Of scmi-union style that
vors much of non commltallsm, the reverse Of
its past course. SO we go!
Singular appearing circulars, purporting to
emanate from the Knights Of the Golden Circle,
were mysterously stuck up around town the other
night. and which called for meeting at mid
night. 1t may be possible that these secession
chaps are coming the secret dodge on us. | pity
their encampment' if they let it be known
where they meet at " midnight" for their tribe
are in beggary minority hereabouts
In twelve months from this time San Francisco
and this city will be literally cut up by horse
railroads. such as have become so popular of late
in the eastern cities. Twelve or fifteen bills are
before the Legislature, applying to the Bay City
alone. but only two will pass which combined
will traverse all the principal streets of that city
Those for this place four in number) will be dis
cusscd for a while, and in all probability only
one be selected, which is enough in all conscience.
Where are your enterprisng capitalists? Why
not get up a railroad from Wcavervlle to some
quiet retreat where lager beer, music and Sunday
dancing is dispensed? | tell you it would pay
mighty we'll.
A bill was recently drawn up by our county
ofice-holders increasing all their salaries. By
great effort the bill was steamboated through.
The Governor vetoed the bill, and Mr. Ryan en-
deavored to pass it over the veto, but in vain.
TRINITY.
