CRIME IN SAN Observation-Disclosures, robbery,
and, indeed, all manner of crimes are about
as prevalent at this time in San Francisco, as
previous to the organization of the Vigilance
Committee And this lamentable condition of
society now seems TO have been brought about
by precisely the same cause that called forth the
terrible vengeance of the people at that time.
viz: lack of confidence in the purity and inte-
gritty of the Judiciary. old-booded murders,
brutal assaults, daring robberies, &C. &c. are re-
ported in every mornings paper and yet, so
easy is 1t to elude the grasp of the hand of often
ded justice, when scoundrel chances to receive
sentence of punishment commensurate with his
crimes, it is noted as a remarkable circum stance.
The most remarkable piece of audacity however,
that probably ever occurred outside of London.
we find recorded in the San Francisco papers of
the 4th inst. young merchant on returning
to his residence in the upper part of the city,
just after DUSK was met by two well dressed
men on the corner Of Dupont and Vallejo streets,
who, each seizing an arm, marched him along
III a very unceremonious manner. He then
commenced struggling, and crying for help.
when several persons came to his assistance
They were satisfied, however, with the assur-
ance OF the strangers that the erasperated ndivi-
dual was friend of theirs slightly intoxicated.
They then clapped gag into his mouth, march
ed him along Vallejo street to Mason, down Ma
son nearly to Green. where they tied him TO a
fence, robbed him at their leisure, and sloped.
He was rescued about haf-past eleven o'clock
by gentleman who happened to pass at that
hour

feeling in opposition to the niquitous scheme,
that it was impossible for the speakers to obtain

only man that was listened to with any sort of
respect. The resolutions were read amid per-

thirty more shoulder strikers from San Fran
