| Lynch Law continues &c prevail in California
although it has been banisheo from the precincts
OF the larger cities, and has retreated to the
placers and small towns. By the last steamers
news we we've informed of no less than five men
having been hung by lyuch law, in various parts
of the State. One of these was professional
gambler. who quarreled with aud killed trader,
with whom he was playing ;.Ionte. He was
hung at Shasta. Two others robbed and murder
ed a couple of storekeepers at Eureka, aud the
remaining two of the five were Mexican horse
thieves, who were executed summarily at Mon
terey
In all OF these cases the miserable wretches
who suffered the penalty of death fol their crimes,
were regularly tried by lynch court and jury,
according to the forms and usages of gen line
law, though rejecting the teehnicalities; and,
curiously enough, of the trials, that at Eure-
ka. lasted whole week. clearly evincing that the
lynchers were not so intent upon the punish
ment of the offenders as to deny them the JUS
tice of full hearing first.

Board of Public Works-Sdmuel Price.


We trust that the Wings of the various coun-
lies composing the Second District, will not in
khe excitement OF the Congressional and Legis-
native canvass, overlook the importance of the
sspproaching election for Commissioner of the
Board of Public Works. In the person of DIR.
L ,raham of Rockbridge, the democracy have pre-
|sened as their candidate for this office. one of
1.-The bitterest most intoleraut and bigoted part-
sans in the State. From all accounts we should
Judge that he was just the man to convert the
Board of Public Works into political machine,
and to employ all the patronage at his disposal
for the purpose of crushing the Wing and build
jug up the Democratic party. Let the Wings
throughout the district bear this i'm mind on
Thursday next, and spare no honorable effort to
defeat the election of man who stands virtually
pledged to prescribe them so far as he can,
and whose personal feelings are we'll understood
to harmonse entirely with that pledge. The
task of converting the Board OF Public Works
into a party engine, aud of making its operation
felt.by the Whigs would doubtless be labor of
love to DIR. Archibald Graham. If this geatle-
man has not been most egregiously misrepresent-
ed by those who have enjoyed the best opportu-
mites of watching his political course, he looks
upon the Wings of this commonwealth rather as
aliens than as republican citizens entitled to the
enjoyment of the same rights aud privileges as
the Democrats. 1t was the rabid partisanship of
the man, we dare say, that alone recommended
him to the favorable notice of the Staunton Con-
We think that the Wings have it in their
power to defeat DR.. Graham's election, and we
trust that they will put forth their whole strength
in order to effect that object. We regard him as
by far the most Objectionable of tie three candi-
dates whom the Democracy have brought into
the field, and every Wing vote, at least in the
District, ought to be cast against him. If the
Democratic people choose to ratify the decree
of their public leaders. that the Board of Public
Works must be a political machine, then be it
DR.. Graham is unquestionably the man for
their votes. But it behooves the Wings to take
care of themselves aud to resist the election of
this political machine candidate to the bit
ter end Let them, then, on Thursday next, rally
around Samuel Price, of Greenbrier, man of
sound sense, of mature experience in public af-
fairs. and of high and Improbable personal in
tegrity-a man who will discharge the duties Of
the office solely with reference to the public
good, and who, Wing though he be, is fettered
BY no obligation, either express or implied to
make the Board of Public Works Wing ma
chine.
