SACRAMENTO SEcoND.-The census returns
are nearly ell in for California. A San Fran
cisco paper places Sacramento county fifth in
Importance among counties as to population,
thus: San Francisco, 235,OCO; Alameda.
Sc, 629; Santa Clara, 35,113; Los Angeles
1000; Sacramento, $4,000. But this is an
error, as can be shown. When the foregoing
calculation was made two townships, and
probably three, III this county, had not made
returns-G eorgiana, Brighton and one
other. Georgiana gives return of 1000,
and Brighton yesterday returned 1900, and
there is one other township yet to be re-
ported. Adding l, 200 to the 81, 600 and the
total is SO, 200. The township to hear from
viii give about 200 as its return, making
the total 81, 200, and this viii place us ahead
of Los Angeles and fourth in population
But 1t is believed Georgiana township, with
Its 2. Geo. is not inclEded in the 81 000 reported
by the San Francisco paper. Assuming thst
to be true and our population will
be about SO, 200. which viii place US
third on the list as to population,
Alameda and San Francisco alone being
ahead of us. But Alameda gets its SO. 629 by
the overflow of San Francisco, and Sacra-
mento has no metropolitan aid. but is indie
pendent of it as regards population. Her
SO, 600, therefore, III reality place her, as an
independent county, second on the list. The
figures show in comparison with those of
1870 that Sacramento county has gained 33
per cent.--a most gratifying exhibit, Ger
tainly.
THE BOHEMIAN ARcHERs. The people in
the region of Fforin having prosected
themselves by stout stoclade, and the resi-
dents Of Poverty Ridge having battened ther
windows and doors, and faced their house
walls with gunny sacks, the bohemian
Archers are permitted at P NJ to-day to
blaze away again at the targets at Richmond
Grove. The ladies are taking much interest
in the club, aud the male shootists are being
echpsed by them in several instances. To.
day the practice viii be with an eye single to
preparation for the prizes put up by Mr..
Mott, and which viii be shot for as soon as
the finger-ends of some of the club get a little
more calloused. Every Bohemian of the
club Is expected to be on hand to-day, and
prepared to replenish the treasury.
AUCTION SALE-Sherburn & Smith will
sell to-day, at 1850 A. H., from their sales
room, No. 800 K street, large assortment of
household furniture, comprising bedroom,
dining-room and kitchen furniture stoves,
