AN Error. The rummies resolved at

the purpose Of breaking up all the political
organizations in the county" Obllyious, ell

to " break" all parties into the service of
rum, or else to +" break them up" In con
sequence of tina; Convention, the friends of
Law and Order met and attempted to unite
all parties against the dlsorganlzers. Israel
Goodwin presided over that Convention, and
for that be has incurred the hostility Of all
men who love rum better than principles and
party, better than their kindred and person.

country or their God. Friends of law and

us support Israel Goodwin, and thus rebuke
law breakers and party disorganizers. LIE,

their contempt for political trickery, as well
as their respect and obedience to the laws.

Rum as a Beverage.

The great object Of the present liquor law
Of Vermont is TO prevent the use of alcoholic
drinks, as a bererGgs, and thereby promote
the welfare Of the state, by drying up the
fountains and sources of fire and crime,
pauperism, taxation, and the thousand mis-
cries to which the common use of ardent
spirits directly and inevitably lead. That
1t is the duty of the law-making power so to
legislate as to promote the highest happiness
Of nil classes in the community. the rich and
the poor, the drunk and the sober, no man,
in his senses will deny. That the law now
upon the Statute books of Vermont, when
ever it has been honestly and faithfully
enforced, in relation 10 the use of spirits as
drink, has been productive of immense
good, is proved by the testimony Of the best
and most reliable witnesses, in all parts of
the state. We submit few cases, in our
cities and in the country, to show that the
law prohibiting the use of liquors as a bev-
erage is a good one, and should be sustain
ed in all our towns, by appointment of
town officers in its favor, and in all our
counties by the election of Commissioners
who will appoint no agents but such as may
be relied upon as faithful and true 10 their
trust. The press literally groans with the
burden it bears in giving instances Of mis-
cry and crime, the legitimate result of dram
drinking. 1t is but few days since we
read the touching tale of little boy, who
was sent by his mother, on a cold night, to
persuade drunken father to return from
the grocery TO his home. The lad succeed
ed to start from the grocery with his father I;
bot so intoxicated was he that he sunk help.

and his father not returning, the mother
wendell her way in pursuit, and in a short
time met the husband of her youth aud the
father of her darling ooy, lieless corpse,
with The snow for his winding sheet and
bottle for his blow of death. BY the side
of the frozen corpse of the father, leaning
upon the fence, stood the faithful sentinel of
a boy, liieless corpse, with the very tears
that trickled down his manly face, as he
watched his dying, drunken father, frozen
into icicles. Freemen of Vermont, and es-
pecially, Freemen Of Washington County,

farm, arrived in California in lS49 or so. He
caae from independence, Jackson county, Mo-,
where for many years he had been connected
with the publishing of the Independence
Chronicle +" and, we learn. enjoyed to a great
degree the esteem and confidence of the public.
In 1859. he lived in Jackson, o. T., kept tavern
for wh.le and married as his second Mrs. Mo-
BILE. who thus early monrns hin, as his widow;
he left no children OF his own. Mr.. French was
about Sc years OF age.-CresceM City Herald
MIR. French lived in this place in 1851. Du-
ring his residence here he was employed as bar
tender in the Eldorado Hotel, at that time owned

EXTENSION OF ADAMS Il Co.'S EXPRESS
The San Francisco Herald says:-
Mr.. Felix Tracy. long connected and familiar
with the Express business here, goes out 10 be-
come the resident agent of Adams Il Co., at
Salt Lake He will examine the ronte carefully
with special reference to the position of water-
the practicabiiy OF the roads for wagons, &c
the streams that can be forded and those that
qnire to be bridged. If his report is favorable,
and sufficient inducements offer. stage line
from Los Angeles to Salt Lake will be estab-
lisbed In the meantime, Adams & Co. have
made arrangements for the transportation on this
route, monthly, of any amount of Express matter,
on mules. 1t their enterprise prospers, they will
run semi-monthly, or even weekly line, over
this route.
If untring perseverance, indomitable energy.
a thorough knowledge of the Express business,
and undagging disposition to accommodate
the public will win success, then we predict
that the Salt Lake Express Of Adams & Co.,
will, with Felix Tracy as the resident agent at
the city of the Saints, prove both popular and
profitable.

SUPREME JuDGE.-The vacancy on the bench
of the Supreme Court occasoned by the death
of Judge Wells. has been filled by the appoint
ment of Hon. Chas. H. Bryan, of Yuba The
appointment has been received with very gen.
eral satisfaction. His abilities as a lawyer are
highly spoken of by those who know him init
mately. He was member of the State Senate
during the last session, and generally con-
sidered one of the ablest men in that body. We
believe lie emigrated to this State from Colnm-
bus Ohio, and is about 33 years of age. Mr..
Bryan's successor will be elected by the people
at the general election in September, 1855.

of Mr.. Bryan's appointment to the Supreme
Bench. The Times 8. Transcript and Statesman
