"HIeHER LAW" IN CALIFORNIA
The Sacramento Transcript gives
the particulars Of murder and exc
cution near Georgetown, on election
day:
A man by the name OF Devine had
taken to gambling, and as he was in
the habit Of losing his money, his
wife hid all that came into his pos
session. On Sunday, as he had got
"broke," he demanded the money
which she had hid. She refused to
deliver it if he intended TO use it in
gambling, whereupon Devine threat
ened to kill her. As he seized his gun
she blew out the candle and fled in
to another room; he however dis
charged it at her. The contents pass
ed through the door and killed her.
An enraged crowd, several hundred
strong, assembled forthwith, set De-
vine on a horse, and rode him off to
a tree. Here they made him kneel
upon the horses back, put the rope
around his neck and drove the horse
off, leaving him hanging from the
branch OF the tree.

We would remind our readers that
the Fair, to be given by the Ladies OF
the Episcopal Church, which is to come
off tomorrow, Thursday is 10 be a
grand affair. Ample arrangements
have been made for the accommodation
of all who may attend, and we do not
know how an evening could be more
pleasantly spent, besides the proceeds
are for benevolent church purposes,
in consideration of which we hope our
citizens will patronize it literally.

HALIFAX, Nov. 2S.
FRANcE.-Louis Napclean has sen,
a long message to the Assembly,
which has given general satisfaction.
He disclaims all personal ambition.
The GERMAN DIFFICULTIES The
renewed misunderstanding between
PRUSSIA and Austria is confirmed
Austria and Bavaria are in arms
Prussia has drawn the first blood
Their troops occupied The village ol
Byallzel upon which the Austrians
advanced, with their swords sheath
ed, but were at once fired upon
and several Of their number woun-
ded. The shots were returned, and
the Prussians finally evacuated the
place, carrying off their wounded
with them.
France, England and Russia have
offered their mediation on the Ger
man question. The latest accounts
are more peaceable, although in Vi
emma, war is now looked upon as
certain.
ENeLAND.-The "no Popery" cry
is getting down in England. They
feel a little ashamed at having been
frightened at Catholic Hierarchy on
paper. 1t appears there are only
half a million Roman Catholics in all
England, and but eight millions in all
ireland, Canada, and Australia.

Yesterday over the st. Louis course,
between Jackson, the American Deer,
and the trotting horse June Bug, for
5000 side, resulted in favor Of the

well contested, June Bug making his
ten miles in % minutes % seconds,
and beating Jackson only about 10

This body rs-assembled on Monday
last ia the city of Cincinnati, pursu'
ant 10 the resolution Of adjournment
The length OF lime it will require tc
finish their labors, no one who gave
them the slightest attention previous
to the adjournment. can form any
opinion. Instead Of confning their
fine and attention TO amending the
constitution in parts which expert
ence had taught might be made bet
fer, the majority Of the Convention
resolved upon the labor Of making a
new constit ution throughout
: throwing wide open the door for the
discussion at least, at the peoples
expense, of every new notion set
afoat by the progressives Of the day,
a class who have discovered more
luminous light than experience TO
guide them.
Had the Convention turned its at
tention at first to the consideration
Of the really defective parts, the Leg
islative,J Judiciary and perhaps one OF
two others, it could properly have
closed its labors by the lst of July,
and the new constitution would have
been accepted or rejected BY the
people at the last election. As the
matter stands now, the Convention,
judging as a mere locker on, is nc
nearer the completion Of the work
the delegates were sent there to do,
than after tn organization last
Spring-nothing has been settled,
although great amount Of talking
has been done. All but some 5000
Of the $4,000, appropriated by the
Legislature to defray the expenses,
has been expended. OF this state Of
facts the people justly complain. AL
though there are just grounds oi
complaint, let the responsibility rest
with those who chose from the first
TO assume il. 1t is customary to holc
that party responsible for the meas
ures of deliberative bodies which
have controlling majority. This
as parties are constituted, usually 60.
ing together on all important mat
tiers, is in general correct. But we
do not wish to make our opponents
responsible as a matter Of course, be-
cause they have large majority in
the convention. We wish 10 make
them responsible because they chose
TO make themselves so. Every one
that has given the least attention tc
the doings Of this body, knows thai
the Locofoco majority would be sat
fed with nothing less than setting in
judgmen. upon every feature Of the
present constitution, condemning ev
cry thing in advance, iffor no other
reason than that il was the result o
the labors Of men who lived 40 year;
ago. 1t is this majority that are just
ly accountable for this delay which
requires a new appropriation by the
Legislature, and defers the adoption
OF the new constitution a year. By
no kocus POcus can anything else b.
made to appear. With what no
tives and designs this majority -e-as
semble will soon appear. We shal
be agreeably disappointed il, aftel
displaying their much learning, they
give us on the whole as good a con
stitution as the present.
