HAVE WE A GovERNOR ?—The SacFamento people will be glad to learn
that the Governor for whom they advertised a few weeks since has actually
been found. It is supposed he was
either lost,strayed orstolen,but he wandered off to the vicinity of Oakland.
The following from the News will be

is Hy H. Haight ; he is alive, and to all
appearance in the enjoyment of ‘his
usual good health ; we had the pleasure
of Seeing him.‘a day or two ago, as.
rotund and broad,~and as bright and’!

rious should occur, these anxious inquirers will have the pleasure of seeing
his Excellency at the Capital sometime
during next Winter.
The people of the Capital might have
known this without the information .
given by the News, as it is a well established fact that geese always return in
Winter. But how about the law requiring the Governor to reside and have
his office-at the State. te: Capital.
