SENATORS.
REPRESENTATIVES.
William M. Gwin,
E. Gilbert,
John C. Fremont.
G. W. Wright.
Gwin and Frement were elected Senators by the first Legislature, and took their seats after California was admitted into the Union, the 19th of September, 1850. Fremont drew the short term, which expired on the 4th of March, 1851. The Legislature of that year failed to elect his successor. Gilbert and Wright's term also expired 4th of March 1851. Joseph W. McCorkle and Edward Marshall were elected Represen- tatives, and to succeed Wright and Gilbert. The Legislature of 1852 elected John B. Weller United States Senator to succeed J. C. Fremont. Term commenced 4th of March, 1851, and expired 4th March, 1857. In 1852, Milton S. Latham and James A. McDougal were elected Represen- tatives to succeed McCorkle and Marshal, whose term of office expired 4th of March, 1853. In 1854, J. W. Denver and P. H. Herbert were elected to succeed Latham and McDougall, whose term expired the 4th of March, 1865. Senator William M. Gwin's term expired on the 4th of March, 1855, but the Legislature failed to elect his successor. The Legislature of 1856, known as the Know Nothing Legislature, also failed to elect a United States Senator, therefore J. B. Weller was alone in the Senate ono whole session and part of another. In 1856, Joseph C. Mckibben and Charles L. Scott were elected successors to Denver and Herbert, whose term expired on the 4th of March, 1857. The Legisla- ture of 1857 re-elected William M. Gwin, United States Senator, and also elected David C. Broderick to succeed John B. Weller, whose term expired on the 4th of March 1857. The Legislature of 1858 changed the time of electing Representatives to Congress, making it the same day upon which the Governor and Members of the Legislature wero elected. In 1859, John C. Burch and Charles L. Scott were elected to succeed Scott and Mckibben, whose term expired the 4th of March, 1859. In September, 1859, David C. Broderick fell on the field in mortal combat with David S. Terry, which made a vacancy, and Governor Weller appointed H. P. Haun of Yuba, on the 3d of November, 1859, to fill the vacancy until the Legislature elected his successor. The Legislature of 1860 elected Milton S. Latham on the 13th of January, for the balance of David C. Broderick's term. The Legislature of 1861 elected James A. McDougall to succeed William M. Gwin, whose term expired on the 4th of March, 1861. At the general election, 1861, A. A. Sargent, T. G: Phelps and F. F. Low were elected Representatives to succeed C. L. Scott and John C. Burch, whose term expired on the 4th of March, 1861. California under the old apportionment, was only en- titled to two Representatives. Mr. Low was elected that she might bo ready in case the new apportionment increased her number. He was admitted. The Legislature of 1863 elected John Conness as successor to Milton S. Latham, whose term of office expired on the 4th of March, 1863.' At the general election, 1863, Cornelius Cole, Thos. B. Shannon and William Higby were elected Representatives to succeed Phelps, Sar- gent and Low, whose term expired the 4th of March, 1863. The Legis- Jature of 1863-4 changed the time of electing Representatives, appoint- ing 1864, and every two years thereafter. In 1864, William Higby was re-elected, also D. C. McRuer and J. T. Bidwell were elected, whose

term commenced 4th of March, 1865, and expired 1867. On the 16th December, 1865, Cornelius Cole was elected United States Senator to succeed James A. M.cDougall.

The Legislature of 1867-8 changed the time of holding the Congressional election, appointing same to take place at the Presi- dential election in November, 1868. S. B. Axtell for the First, A. A. Sargent for the Second, and James A. Johnson for the Third District were elected. Their term of office will commence the 4th of March, 1869.

Private Schools.
Besides the Public Schools there are numerous private ones in this city well patronized. Sacramento Seminary-a leading school for young ladies-is the most prominent and deserves especial notice. This insti- tution of learning was first established in the Spring of 1863 as a day school. The well directed efforts of Mr. Perry, the principal manager, soon made favor among parents, and he may now claim that the enter- prise has ripened into a success. The course of studies through which young ladies are required to pass before graduating is as complete as is demanded at ladies' seminaries in older communities, which, considered in connection with the low prices charged for tuition, will insure that patronage an institution of the kind deserves.
