   ELISHA T. PECK, a native of New York, was the first senator that the
territory of Plumas sent to the legislature. At the time of his election, in the
fall of 1853; he was a clerk in the store of Davis & Brother, at Onion valley.
The democrats nominated him, and he was easily elected by the party in Butte
county. Peck soon became famous for having been approached with a bribe in
legislative halls, and much feeling was engendered both for and against him in
the affair. He afterwards settled in San Francisco, and took a position in the
custom-house as drayage contractor. He now resides in that city.
