The Senatorial Muddle.

The Marysville AppeaFs correspondent
very justly states that our Iycurguses at the
Capital have, in the effort to elect Senator,
gotten themselves into muddle very similar
to that of a certain temporary Chairman of
the Assembly, who, after having been COM
pletely wound up by host of knotty points
of order, exclaimed to his tormentors
The fact is, the Cheer finds that it has
got itself into snap, and the Cheer is not a
gwine to decide any pint of order until the
Cheer gifts clear out of this snapt''
1t is now admitted almost universally that
Gen. McDougall was not legally elected on
the 21st inst, and that hence the Legislature
will be compelled to again resume the labor
of electing U. S.ssSenator.
A committee, at last dates, was investiga-
ting the matter, Gov. Downey in the mean
while refraining from giving Gen. McDougall
a certificate of election. Indeed, as General
McDougall is a perfectly honorable man,
there is no danger, under the circumstances,
of his demanding any such certificate.
Senators Watkins and Leet, whose votes
were not included in the count upon which
McDougall was declared elected, have made
oath before the committee that they did vote,
respectively for Casserly and Maj. Anderson.
Fifty-seven members, constituting a ma
jority of the Joint Convention. have, it is
said, signed certificate that they did not
vote for McDougall.
Speaker Burnell, also, from the floor of the
Assembly, has stated that :" it was pre- yey
generally ascertained that wrong had bee,
done, !" in certifying that McDougall had been
elected.
Conncss has also declared that, under the
circumstances, Gen. McDougall can not hon
orably claim certificate of election from the
Governor.
From all this it is certain that no election
of United States Senator has occurred.

Once We sat in oar cabin,
Old pard" and I, alone.
Strange sounds and shouts of merrsnent
Upon the air were thrown.
.AsIBE]-
Now we are firm old bachelors,
Of Shasta county hue,
Who love, but fear all pretty girls,
As all our brethren do.
And as these sounds were waited by,
(Angelic were the tones,
The truth that flashed upon our minds
Struck terror TO our bones.
By peeping out between the logs,
Like Jail BIRDS through CRATE,
We saw two horses galloping
Straightway up to the gate.
The charming sounds, they did increase,
The laughter grew more shrill-
Two lovely maidens, on their steeds,
Were talking with will.
And when they stopped before the door,
(Such lovely creatures too,)
Our hearts commenced to jump about,
As all old batch's do.
Is'pose you think we ventured out,
To help the ladies light
So far from that stock still we stood,
And trcmbled in alright.
Our limbs '' set up qaiyering,
CTwas anything but fun,)
And if there'd been an after door,
"You bet'i we'd struck run.
We grasped an ancient COURIER,
And tried to seem not fustercd,
Yet half an eye could plainly 500
That we were sorely pestered.
With gracious ease they came right up,
And looked in at the door.
And said, "We've come to see the boys
think they said much more.
But dumb VIC stood, and bold as sheep
When wolves are lurking round.
know that we both tried to speak,
But words could not be found.
Such witching little creatures
We never saw before;
Such sparkling eyes, and rosy mouths,
How could we but adore,
RAt finally they turn'd around,
And said, " Oh, we must go -
And I'm very sure they shouted,
1--WE thought wee catch beau
Well, after they were fairly gone,
Aud out Of hearing too,
said to "pard,' with trembling voice.
"What would we better do?"
With long drawn sigh from regions deep,
To him came wit and mind;
Answering, q the first hard work wei do,
Wen cut door behind"
The North may cease to worship Z" blacks"
The '-cotton States secede;
Old Shasta Butte, may leave its place,
And Kansas cease to I" bleed
But me- 'er shall forcst tha day
The girls carne to our door;
Tho as my story's getting long.
Iguess FL write no more. HANK.
