LEGAL INTELLIGENCE.

An LSTREET MELEE-Y esterday after
noon about O'clock row occurred in an
L-street mansion presided over by female
who revels under the classic name Of "Two-
Two Johnny" Officer Lee, hearing woman
screaming, and seeing crowd rushing toward
the house, put in hasty appearance and
found Two Two johnny standing in the
front room covered with blood and profusely
bleeding from large wound on the right
temple. a large colored man named Ed
Gaines, who lives with her, was standing by
with his right arm around her neck and his
left hand under her chin, probably in the act
of supporting her. The officer at once sent
for physician to care for the wounded, and
then conveyed Gaines to the lookup. The
version Gaines gave Of the affair was, that
the woman aud caller named VIM. Williams
and himself, while drinking together got
into a Misunderstanding, whereupon he
sought to bring peace to the troubled waters
by throwing a tumbler at Williams's head,
but which missed its mark and struck the
woman in the forehead, breaking the glass
into fragments and making terrible wound
The officer then went back and arrested
Williams, who pleaded innocence, and says
the difficulty was entirely between Gaines
and the woman. They will appear in the
Police Court this morning, but Whatever may
be the facts, If the woman does not swear her
adorable clear of all blame it will be a new
feature in this frequently occurring class of
cases.

STOLEN CLOTHES RECOVERED. "A few days
since notice was left at the police Office that
q coat which had been made by tailor in
the city for person residing at Rocklin had
been stolen at the latter place, and sample
Of the goods was furnished with which to
identity it. Officer Lee soon ascertained that
the coat had been sold at a secondhand
clothing store on K street, and resold to another
party. Yesterday the proprietor of the store
recovered the coat and delivered it to Mr..
Lee. A few evenings since a suit of clothes
was stolen from room in the Brooklyn Ho-
tel, and being reported to the police office,
were recovered from q second hand store on
X street by Chief karcher and officer Lee.
The facility with which stolen goods are dis
posed of at some of the secondhand establish
ments renders their places a prolific source
for police inspection and raising money upon
the fruits of crime.
Nor THAT KINDA scandalous story has
for few days had prominence in public
gossip. 1t involves alike the innocent and
the guilty, asd is of that character which the
prurient mind and the morbid appetite of
the unclean feed upon. Some, whose com
prehension of decent journalism is measured
by such tastes in their disappointment at
not finding this precious morsel in PRINT have
meanly descended to heexpressioa that vena-
it, OF other than conscientious motives actu-
ated the Withholding of the immodest re ita .
Such people have forgotten, perhaps, that the
press of Sacramento are not public scsvan-
gers. and do not willingly set such dishes as
those referred to before the families of this
community 1t is bad enough TO be COM
PEELED at any time to even refer to the
