Life In California.

Great excitement prevailed at San Francisco when
the steamer left, owing TO a series Of disgracefuI
robberies and murders there. The Pacific News
says
The more immediate cause of the existing excite
ment, was the recent attempt to KILL and the robbery
of Mr.. Janson, and the shooting OF the Frenchman
at the Adephi Theatre, on Monday evening last
both outrages of the most deliberate and murderous
character, and both alike without any mitigating
circumstances.
Saturday afternoon, an examination was held be-
fore Justice Shepherd, of the two Australian men,
Stuart and Wildred in the Recorders courtroom,
on the charge of assaulting and robbng Mr. Janson,
the room and balcony being crowded by spectators
AT the close Of the examination something was
said about admitting them to bail, when the crowd,
incensed at such prospect, made rush for the
prisoners, breaking down benches, driving the police
officers before them.
! Fortunately for the cuIprts, the Washington
Guards who had been pardding in honor of the day,
happened to be near at hand and being called on by
the authorities, drove back the crowd, and cleared
the court room at the point of the bayonet.
| While the Guard were driving back the crowd the
prisoners were taken out the backway and let down
through trap door into the station house below.
| A meeting of citizens was held on the evening of
the 4h, the call for which demanded the most vigor-
Gus measures of Lynch Law against the Anarchists
!" The laws, says the call, offer us no protection.
Let every man be his own executoner %
The meeting passed off amidst great excitement.
Another murder had been committed on the 10th

An Englishman named Richard or Joseph IIalfhedd

FROM SACR AMENTO.

On Wednesday, March 9Th, about two O'Clock, an
awful scene took place in front Of the Mansion House
on the corner of Front and streets, which has re-
suited in the death of two persons.
A fight occurred French monte table, be-
tween man named Frederick Roe and a miner,
name unknown The two men were parted several
times, and finally by Mr.. Chas. Humphrey Myers,
from Columbus, Ohio, a quiet and most respectable
citizen; Roe shooting Myers for his Interference
The ball entered Myers head just in front of the
left ear and passed into the lower part of the BRAIN
The wound was examined and pronounced TO NOR
tai.
Roe was Immediately arrested, and meeting or
ganzed TO try him, and after about hours discus
sion, it was resolved to hang him without delay.
1t was then announced that the prisoner would be
hung on Sixth street, between K and l. from one of
the large oaks The crowd proceeded immediate y
to that point, at about half past nine o'clock.
The prisoner gave his name as Frederick J. Roe,
and was 20 years of age. He was born in England,
where his mother and sisters reside. Ills fea-
lures were regular, though the whole countenance
exhibited careworn appearance, and his physical
system seemed have been entirely Frustrated, in
vie of the awful fate awaiting him.
A rope was thrown over a limb handkerchief
placed the prisoners head, his hands and feet
tied, and the rope adjusted. The crowd to witness
the solemn scene, did not number less than five thou
sand. He was lifted from the PLATFORM and as he
was let off, while the rope was drawing up, he ut
tered groan and said, 'I.Ord have mercy on my
SOUL" After struggle, he hung quietly. When
fifteen or twenty minutes had elapsed, he was low
cred and delivered to his friends.

When Judge Allen, in the discharge oil hish Oh

ton Of Daniel Webster, he was denounced BY Inc
universal wing party, in the most unneasured terms.
twas declared that be had scaled his own political
doom and that bencelrth he would pass INTO poilti-
cal iosrnidcance. and be forgotten The bunker or
pons in Boston proclaimed this withall the assurance
oforaclss. and declared that he had, by that act
orfaited the confidence Of the electors Of the 6fth
district forever. He was tainted, too. even on the
floor of Congress, with having lost his election at the
then recent trial. although by the rule of law which
prevails in the State from whence the taunts came,
he would have been declared elected by 1900 major
ity, even at that trial.
The Websteries themselves therefore put that
question into the issue before the people in the cleo
ton, and asked verdict thereon. The trial has
been had-the verdict is rendered. Judge Allen is
triumphanty elected, and thus the wishes, the hopes,
and possibly the expectations of the sustainers of the
slave power and Of official corruption, Frustrated
in the dust The verdict is such an one as we had "a
right 10 expect from such constituency; and we
have not doubt, that could the naked question have
been put directly to people, upon that issue alone,
disconnected from all party considerations, the vote
would have been even more decisive than it now is.

We have information, in addition to the returns
in our table, from all the towns but two ia the dis
trict, which enables US to announce the election OF
Judge Allen, by clear majority over all others, Of
from 200 to 800 votes. As the returns of some Of
the towns merely give the majorities omit them,
in hopes of having them more perfect by tomorrow.
This glorious result will be cheering to the hearts Of

will help to swell the tide which is now rolling on
