package OF mysterious letters the contents of
which Mr. Blaine refuses TO disclose In
the seat behind Mr. Muiigan Mr. Fisher
and weli-known lawyer o. this city who
had joined the party by accident, and to whom Mr.
Fisher had SAID the ewing before that he Intended
tell The whole truth and should not lie 10 Mr.
Blaine. The conversation naturally turned upon the
Blaine investigation, and Mr. Fisher, pointing 10 the
green bag said substantially that there was .sev-
dcnce In that bag which would damn Blaine' His
companion asked what that meant, and Mr. Fisher re-
Piled that there was letter in the bag from Mr..
Blaine Ito Mr. Fisher which said, substantially, II

ABOUT AN OLD RESIDENT.

We find in the San Francisco ChrOni-
Gle a relation OF an incident which De-
Cured in the California Legislature Of
a similar character to The SoineTs- WILL
cox outrage. In that instance the az
gressor wa the late Charles A. Leake,
formerly q well-knOwn resident of this
county. The Chronicle says: Colby,
who was for Broderick for United
States Senator, WAS opposed to tho ex-
tension OF the time in which masters
might carry the slaves out Ofthe State,
and Ieake, who was a q Twin man, IA
vored it. Colby, in reply to Leake,
denied the higher law allegation and
declared when the Senator from Gala
veras made it he fibbed outright. but
Colby used a word Of only four letter..
When the Senate adjourned for the
day. Colby sat at his desk writing, and
Leake went aside. borrowed the heavy
sword-cane of Major Hook, Senator
from lei Dorado, stole up behind Colby
and dealt him a murderous blow on
the head. Colby WAS stunned, but he
rose, warded off the second blow,
grappled with Leake at close quarters,
threw him on one ofthe desksto wrench
his spine, but the desk gave way,
when Colby, with the foot and
hip toss of q wrestler, threw Leake,
breaking one OF his legs. Leake was
not out Of his o for four weeks,
and was brought into the Senate at the
end of that time on crutches
To vote for Twin, hut he was a digraced
and ruined man. He lost caste, friends.
associates, and he never held his head
up afterwards. Colby was not injured
in the least either In body, mind OF
publ; estima' ion; and poor Leake,
when all the world had turned against
him for his foul act, went to Colby ano
