THE SENATORIAL BRIBERY MATrER.-Volney
f. Howard, in letter to the Alta California OF
January 9th, acknowledges the authorship of
the Bribery pamphlet. Whatever reason may
have led Howard to write t-wh ether honest in |
dignaton, focd ambition malice-his course |
has since been frank and manly. He was Undue
ed by friends to suppress it before the contents
were made public, but as soon as it was charged
that he feared to issue it because his charges
were baseless, it was promptly published. In
his Alta letter Howard says that the Democratic |
Examiner affects to doubt whether there was any
bribery in the late Senatorial election that
"since the public exhibition of the tables at
Rome with the money squandered for the pur-
chase of votes, there has been no such shameless |
case of bribery in elections He says % it will
he proved that personal friend of one candidate
declared to a member of the Legislature in re-
gard to the statement that Sl50 900 had been ex-
pended, that 200 of it passed through his |
own hands" As to proving his charges Howard
says that in his official capacity he has sent sew
eral gentlemen to the pententiary on less evidence
than will be adduced
