Our Sacramento Letter.

SACRAMENTO, March, 81, 1864
This has been very busy week at the Capt.
tai. A large number of bills have been disposed
Still new bills are being introduced every day.
In the Assembly to-day bill was introduced to
lew tax of five cents on each one hundred dol
lars valuation, for the purpose of completing the
Insane Asylum buildings at Stockton, and con-
structing Hospital for the Insane at some other
point in the State
THE CAPITOL BILL.
After three or four days discussion, this bill
has been indefinitely postponed. 1t proposed to
raise million of dollars by the sale of State
Bonds, payable in twenty years.
CoDIFICATIoN BILLS.
The Senate, during the session, has passed to
engrossment, then finally refused to pass. two or
three bills providing for the codfcaton of the
laws of the State. The Assembly has now un-
der consideration four bills the same sub
ject-one by Mr. Wiley, one by Mr.. Brown, and
one by the Judiciary Committee, each to create
a Board of Commissioners, to consist of three
members to be chosen by the Legislature, to
wise the statutes-the bills differing only in de-
tail Besides these is a bill by Hittell contract
ing to pay II. II. Bancroft fifteen thousand dol
lars for two thousand copies of Digest to be
approved by the Attorney General.
MILITARY BILLS.
The bill to re-organize the militia of the State
has been before the Assembly two days this
week. and the clerk has not yet read one-fourth
of its two hundred and forty-three sections. So
far as it has been considered almost every sec
ton has been amended. There is no probability
whatever of its passage, SO all the time spent on
it is wasted.
CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS.
The Senate has adopted the House arrange
ment of counties to compose the Congressional
Districts of the State, but have changed the bill
materially in another respect. By vote of %
to the Senate proposes to bring on the Con-
greSsonal election this year. ] think the House
will concur.
