throng OF other business deprived me of the pleas
ure of communicating with the Journal, but
will 30 order my affairs that like neglect will
not occur very soon. Somebody has said that it
is not labor that kills people, but seorry, and of
that have had suficency to excuse an omis-
sion which probably afforded your readers pleas
ure and profit, inasmuch as the space allotted to
me was filled with better taste and judgment,
LEGISLATIVE.
The chief event of the past week has been the
meeting of the Legislature. For u good while
great many upland members have been here pur-
sned by two or three candidates for U. S. Senate
and swarm of minor fry who wanted clerkships.
I am told :here were at least 250 candidates for
Legislative Office at Sacramento such cater
waul was never beard there before. But their
fortunes are decided, and about three. .fourths of
them have gone home much disgusted with the
ungratefulness of republics With exception of
two or three the old Capitol rats are all cleaned
out the clerkships are mostly filed with new
men albeit several who have been in confedera-
cy with the secesh had the effroniery to rum
The Union party had everything their own way.
In the Senate u test was made when the Emaaci-
patton resolutions came up, aud eight seeesb we're

time there are few or none Of the old hacks who
have been drummed in by partysm for the last
bai-a.dozen years Considering the vast amount
Of important business pending, and the interval
to ensue before another meeting, we need hardly
expect short session. 1t is Impossible justice

1t is impossible to any more than conjecture

nobody who pretends to speak with any degree
of certainty. My own opinion is that Conness
has the best show. Outside of the membership,

THE NEW sECESH ORGAN
You have seen the California Daily republican,

Democratic party on a secesh bass. The Inde-
pendent ran it out, and it went to the Sacramen

been told by gentleman from Sacramento that
citizens there are threatening to emp.
ty the establishment into the Slough. If the az. !

adopted the Marysrile Express which has dis |

he California Bmtternm has a poor errand to the |
world aud still more deplorable one to Sacra- |
mento. II Bolts couldn't make an F. F. ". pa.

CHURCH MATTERS.

brethren have been in session ali the |

give him up-why, l can't imagine. for he can't
preach much, to speak Of Rev. Starr Kings |
which is beginning to loom up in sublime pro. |
portions Mr. King is extremely popular here
and he ought to be, Tor he is q good man and n

Presence and preacher too. 1t has been turned
into the habtations Of the ungodly. and right

have not much confidence in it, and il would not
be surprising If 1t were superseded IN the spring.
