Mm. 31 degrees. LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. Preliminary The preliminary examination of David Beveriilge anil Demarte, charged with the murder of Charles Hallen, a herder, November 27th, on the Lagoon, was commenced before Justice Pas. hal Oiggins yesterday, in the County Court-room.

District Attorney Blanchard and City Attorney Buckley are engaged in the prosecution, and C. T. Jones represents the defendants. A large number of witnesses have been subpenaed, and the examination will continue foj several days. Coroner Vermilya was the first witness sworn, and testified concerning the inquest, the condition of the body when as to the body being found on the bed, and as to the articles found in the pom of the deceased, and the cause of the death.

No money was found on his person, though Beveridge claims to have paid him a short time before. Dr. C. H. Fisher, who held a post mortem examination, also testified that the cause of death was a bullet tired into the back of the head and ranging to the front, entering in such a way as to indicate that the body was in a reclining position.

Robert Fincher was next sworn, and testified that he was a sheepowner, and that in company with Hobday he inquired if any of his sheep had been by Beveiilge, the employer of the The defense objected to a statement of the conversation held, and the Court deferred Any ruling on the point until today. Fine her further testified that on the next morning he visited the ranch of Martin Muiis.h and Beveridge and found a hide with the brand of deceased upon it. He talked with the proprietors aid they promised to show him their flock of sheep. This witness will further testify again this morning at 10 o'clock, to which time Court adjourned. The officers evidently think they have accumulated sufficient evidence to bold the prisoners, but no testimony vet given to the public warrants the presumption.

The theory of the prosecution is, that Beveridge had stolen Pinchers that upon learning that Hallen bad informed Fincher of the fact, killed tbe only witness to the felony, and was assisted by the Italian that lie caused the "latter to do tbe deed. 'Lie defense, however, claim that they cannot only establish their innocence, but also show that the prosecution is the result of malice on the part of some of the witnesses, and that the latter know even more about the iiiurdci-thaii either of the defendants.

Tribulations ok an ln December, 1870, a China bouse on I street was robbed of property and money to the value of $410. January 2, 1880, a warrant was issued by Justice Gilmer for the arrest of the sup. posed thieves.

Deputy Constable Sanders took the warrant to San Francisco, and he and a San Francisco officer arrested upon it Yung Ah San and Ah Fung Chi (a woman). The warrant bore the certificate of the County Clerk as to Justice Gilmer being a Justice of the Feace, but it had no seal, as the County Clerk then had no seal under the new Constitution, and could not have until the Superior Court adopted one. The Chief of Police at San Francisco deemed the warrant, as certified, faulty, and agreed to hold the prisoners until it could be amended. Sanders returned to Sicramento, and the Clerk procured the seal of the Board of Supervisors and affixed its stamp to the certificate, and Deputy Constable. W.

1). Ferral, took charge of the case and went below and got the was met by a writ of habeas corpus and had to answer before Superior Judge Evans. M. S. Horan, by his procurement, appeared for the people, while Davis appeared for the petitioner for the writ.

The hearing came on on Tuesday and the writ was dismissed. Ferial hurried his prisoners away and crossed the bay with them to get out of the San Francisco jurisdiction, intending to wait in Alameda county for the up train, but a new deputy of the new Sheriff of San followed, and overhauling him on the end of the Oaklank wharf, served a writ on him to bring the waman before Superior Judge Cary, on the 18th, by order of the Supreir Court. He took advice, ard concluded to come to Sacramento with his prisoners and return to San Francisco with the woman in time to answer to the writ, which he did. The case was heard Judge Cary, like Judge Evans, decided to dismiss the writ, but was asked to withhold his decision a short time, which he did, and meanwhile a third writ was sworn out, and tliis time made ftturnable before the Supreme Bench itself. To that body, on the Oth, went the officer, and, after the case was heard and an application made to the Court to admit the prisoner to bail, the Supreme Court, a full bench sitting, denied the application, and held that the fixing of bail must be had in the couuty from which the warrant issued.

And thus, after overcoming three writs of habeas corpus and having the first case brought before the new Supreme Court, and securing its first ruling, the officer got clear of San Francisco, finally delivered his prisoner in Sacramento, and made his return to Justice Gilmer. Both prisoners have since given bail, and the hearing of the case has been postponed a few days. Grand Army reception and reunion held by the ex-soldiers and sailors, at Grand Army Hall, on Sixth street, last evening, was a very pleasurable affair, anil enjoyed until late hour. A soldier's repast of hardtack and the latter, intended to represent the famous salt-horse, 1 of field reminiscences was i spread in the center of the room, and received informal attention at frequent intervals (luring the evening.

THE TEOUBLE NOT INDED Refusal of Chamberlain to Vacate Els Position. ALLEGED PROGRAMME OF THE FUSIONISTS They Vill at Ones Elect a Governor and all State Officers.

A ll.lXh. HOVEMEXT IX AEG ATED. The Republican Senators and Representatives in Possession of the State House. BT TO TUB Boston, January Regarding the rumored intention of the Fusi)nist9 in the House to arrest either Hale or Professor Young, the Adcertiser's at Augusta telegraphs: "Should there be an attempt to arrest Hale or Young and bring them in, trouble will begin. The hundreds of armed men who been in the city for a week could no longer be held back by the leaders, whose voice has continually been for peace." THE GOVERNORSHIP.

January It having been announced that James D. Lamson, President of the Senate, would this morning assume the duties of Governor, General Chamberlain states that he shall positively refuse to recognize his claims to that and furthermoic, raoognisa no one as Governor who shall be chosen by the Legislature as at present constituted. The Committee on Gubernatorial Votes find that six persons received votes for Governor Davis, Smith, Garcelon, Bradbury, Chamberlain and Greenleaf. The first tour would be the na-ncs from which two would have to be chosen to send to the Senate. Thus if the House should bo Republican and the Senate Fusion, a Fusion Governor would he elected.

A quorum certificated would give a Republican majority of one. THfe RETURNED ARMS. The Republicans feel greatly relieved that the arms in the State House arc returned to the Arsenal, anil consider it a great move toward a peaceful solution. REPUBLICANS VIGILANT. Boston, January The Journals Augusta special of last night says: Very few Republican members or claimants left the city to-day.

Every man, except one or two, is on hand. OVERTURES FOR A COMPROMISE. It is rumored that leading Fusionists to-day made overtures for a compromise, when they were told that the admission of the members-elect of the disfranchised towns of Karmiiigton and Skowhegiyi would the attendance of the Republican? This would add 14 to the 82 members. BLOODY WORK CONTEMPLATED. AiotsTA, January It is reported and believed by a large number of persons that the reason the galleries were not allowed to be occupied Friday was because of orders to allow certain armed men concealed in the State Library, in case of an attempt of the Republicans to capture the House, as the Fusionir-ts (eared, to come down by the short cut and enter the south gallery with loaded muskets, and cover the Representatives in the hall.

Tbe finding of the muskets loaded and cartridge-boxes filled shows that bloody work wrs contemplated. Both parties keep their movements very cloudy from all outside members, and especially do they avoid making soy disclosures to newspajier correspondents. PROCEEDINGS IN THE SENATE. January On the ass mbling of Vie Senate this morning, President Lams in sent a letter announcing that he assumed the duties of Governor. Senator Ellis, cf Waldo, was chosen President pro tern.

The Committee on Gubernatorial Totes reported the whole number of rotes as necessary for choice, t.9,40i. Daniel F. Davis had Joseph 1., smith, 47,04 i); Alnnzo Garcelon, 21.514; Bton Bradbury, 203 Daniel F. David, 202. The remainder were scattering.

On tlie proposition t.i hold a Joint Convention for the purpose of qualifying an acting Governor, Locks of Cumberland made a long speech, in which he reviewed theae the Governor and Council, and took up the cases of the couuted-uut members and the irrounds upon which they were count out. Locke claimed that the certilicates issued by the Governor and Council to those not chosen were not legal, and the Aits passed by such a body would not bo recognized by the Courts or obeyed by the people. Barker and Strickland, in reply, claimed that to all intents and purposes this is a legal Legislature, tie members holding i artificatt from the Governor and Council. They meant, as honorable gentlemen, to do the fair tiling when an investigation should take pkee before a proper committee of the Legislature. PROCLAIMED ACTING GOVERNOR.

Tlie Joint Convention was formed, and in the presence of the Secretary of State and several members of the Council John D. Lamson took the oath and was proclaimed acting Governor of the State. But six members were present in the House, and it adjourned without transacting any business. FUSIONIsT January 12th. It is announced that the Fusionists will proceed at once to the election of a Governor and all the State officers.

Arms' TA, January twenty minutes to o'clock this evening the Republican members of the Senate and House Representatives proceeded to the State-bonse for the purpose of organizing the Legislature. The movement was entirely unknown to the Fusionists, and but few of the Republicans outside of the immediate members were aware of the position of affairs. The news that the Republicans had taken possession of the State-house spread rapidly and caused great rejoicing among the Republicans, who have impatient to have this result brought about. -Mr. Lanison, President of the Senate, when he saw the people assembling, proceeded to General Chamberlain's headquarters and excitedly said I protest against these men coming in." The General informed Mr.

Lamson that he should permit the men to stay as long as they pleased. There was no forcible resistance whatever.
