HISTORY OF YUBA COUNTY CALIFORNIA
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY.
(From the Argonaut.)
On Saturday, the 15th of December, 1849, the first Legislature of the State of California met at San Jose. The Assembly occupied the second story of the State Ifonsc-a cut of which we herewith pre- sont-but the lower portion which was designed for the Senato Chamber, not being ready, the latter body held their sittings, for a short period, in the house of Isaac Branham, on tho south-west corner of Market plaza. The State Houso proper was a build- ing 60 feet long, 40 feet wide, two stories high, and adorned with a piazza in front. Tho upper story was simply a large room with a stairway leading thereto. This was the Assembly Chamber. The lower story was divided into four rooms, the largest 20x40 feet, was designed for the Senate Chamber, and the others were used by the Secretary of State, and the vari-

ous cominittues. The building was destroyed by fire on tho 29th of April, 1853, at four o'clock in the morning. On the first day of the first Legislative session only six Senators wero present, and perhaps twice as many Assemblymen.
On Sunday, Governor Riley and Secretary Halleck arrived, and by Mon- day nearly all the members were present. Number of members : Sonate, 16; Assembly, 36. Total 52. No sooner was the Legislature fairly organized than the members began to growl about their accommo- dations. They didn't like the Legislative building, and swore terribly between drinks at the accommo- dations of the town generally. Many of the Solons expressed a desire to remove the Capital from San Jose immediately. On the 19th instant Geo. B. Tingley, a member of the Houso from Sacramento, offered a bill to the effect that the Legislator remove the Capital at once to Monterey. The bill passed its first reading and laid over for further action. On the 20th Gov. Riley resigned his gubernatorial office, and by his order, dated Headquarters Tenth Mili- tary Department, San Jose, Cul., Dec. 20, 1849, (Order No. 41.) Captain H. W. Halleck was relieved as Secretary of State. On the same day Governor
Peter Burnett was aworn by K. H. Dimick, Judge of the Court of First Instance. The same day, also, Col. J. C. Fremont received a majority of six votes, and Dr. Wm. M. Gwin a majority of two fur Senators of the United States. On the following day Gov. Burnett delivered his message. On the evening of thic 27th, the citizens of San Jose having become somewhat alarmed at the continued grumb- ling of the strangers within their gates, determined that it was necessary to do something to content the assembled wisdom of the State, and accordingly arranged for a grand ball, which was given in the Assembly Chamber. As ladies were very scarce, the country about was literally "raked," to use the the expression of the historian of that period, "for señoritas," and their red and yellow flannel petti- coats so variegated the whirl of the dance that the American-dressed ladies and, in fact, the Solons themselves, were actually bewildered, and finally captivated, for, as the record further states, " now and then was given a sly wink of the eye between some American ladies, and between them and a friend of the othor sex as tho señoritas, bewitching and graceful in motion, glided by with a captured me mber." But, notwithstanding this rivalry, the first California inaugural ball was a success. "The dince went on as merry as a marriage bell. All were in h gh gtee. Spirits were plenty. Some hovered where you saw them not, but the sound thereof was not lost." Speaking of the appellation applied to tho first body of California law-makers, i. e., " The Legislature of a thousand drinks," the same quaint writer says, " with no disrespect for the members of that body, I never heard one of them deny that the baptismal name was improperly bestowed upon them. They were good drinkers-they drank like men. If they could not stand the ceremony on any particular occasion they would lie down to it with becoming grace. I knew one to be laid ont with a white sheet spread over hiu, and six lighted candles around hin .. Ho appeared to be in the spirit land. He was really on land with the spirits in him-too full for utter- ance. But to do justice to this body of men, there were but a very few among them who were given to drinking habitually, and as for official labor, they per- formed probably more than any subsequent leg- islative body of the State in the same given time. In the Senate House there was wany a trick played, many a joko passed, the recollection of which pro- duces a smile upon the faces of those who witnessed them. It was not unfrequently that as a person was walking up stairs with a lighted candle, a shot from a revolver would extinguish it. Then what shouts of laughter rang through the builling at the scared individual. Those who fired were marksmen ; their aim was true and they knew it. The respective can- didates for the United States Senate kept ranches, as they were termed; that is they kept open house. All who entered drank free and freely. Under the circumstances they could afford to. Every man who drank of course wished that the owner of the estab- lishment might be the successful candidate for the Senato. That wish would be expressed half a dozen times a day in as many different housés A great deal of solicitude would be indicatet just about the time for drinks. Speaking of the way in which these
