MURDER. Murder stalks abroad. Almost every
lied gangs of thieves and robbers prowl about the
State their ranks receiving constant accession from
the fraternity of free lunch loacrs. All these vag
abonds sport pistol the hip and are ever ready
to do anything that does not smell of honest indus
try Initiating their example, other towards string
on knives and pistols until better adopt the
wearing of concealed weapons, the habit becoming
general throughout community. A trivial dispute
occurs and forthwith coward pulls pistol and
unarmed citizen, or perhaps child, is shot
down. In the heat of passion or of wine appeal is
made to the knife, and life is destroyed. Men
are shot and their throats cut at Slippery Ford the
bowels of at Placervlle ripped out, peace
able printer standing at his case in Humboldt shot
down like dog. The community is hardly dis
turbed but now Richardson is assassinated in
one of the most public streets of San Francisco
and Wall and Williamson murdered on the high
way. The people of Ell Dorado have been deeply
excited at the crime committed in their midst and
can sympdthise with other portions of the State.
Some of the offenders have been punished. The
avengng arm of justice is extended toward others.
The people, good citizens, everywhere are called
upon to sustain the officers of the law Good order
and sound public opinion is the most efficient means
Of enabling Courts to dispense justice and Of sus-
tanning the executive under their decisions
If the criminal code is defective let an appeal be
mado to the Legislature, soon to assemble for its
revision. Let the habit of wearing concealed
weapons be discountenanced by every honorable
man, and shun every dling loafer as a pestilcnce
then public opinion will be inaugurated which
will make labor and legitimate professional exer-
tion honorable. Men must work, beg steal, OR
starve. Starving is not agreeable. Let the purse
strings of benevolence be tied up, and all healthy
beggars kicked at every turn, This class discour-
aged, we have remaining only useful laborers in
the several departments of life, and thieves. This
last class of worse than useless humanity, Courts
and jures aided by sound public opinion, will con-
sign to the penitentary The nursery of murder
is idleness and free lunches. The impelling agent

Coon FOR THE TYPos-A sailor who
had befriended young woman, who had
lost her way to Rochester, became some
what elated in the evening, was arrested
for being intoxicated, and sentenced to
pay fine of Sl0. The money which he
had in his generosity, given to needy
woman, had so nearly exhausted his pile,
that he couldn't raise the wind" and he
was sent to jail. 1t having been clearly
proven that he had behaved in the most
generous manner to the destitute woman,
aud that her friends, who had the means,
neglected to stay by hin in his troubles,
the compositers in the Office Of the Ro-
chester Democrat raised ten dollars, got
Jack Tar out Of Jail, obtained pass for
him to Buffalo, and gave him such good
name that frst-rate berth was obtained
for him on the Lake.

"Whose weigh, would sink navy"
5.-Tha, slavery must be preserved in
Cuba in order to ensure its perpetuity in
our own land. Now honest plain men Of
Union County, did you ever suspect, or
would you ever have believed that such
an iuferual sentiment as this would at.
tempt to skulk under the honored name
of Democracy? Of course it is not De-
mocracy and the scoundrel who cherishes
the sentiment in his heart, and. utters it
with his lips, is no more Democrat like
jefferson, than Benedict Arnold was a
patriot like Washington.
So then, we must steal or revolutionize
Cuba, for fear that some day her poor op.
pressed bond-men may obtain the rights
of men! And why not steal Brazil for
the same reason? Why not annex sail
the Russias for fear that in the long an
nails of futurity some Gar may mount the
throne who will be so fanatical" as to
DO justice to his poor serfs, and thus
exert "nalign influence" upon the
most holy institution of slavery in America:
We have some small notion if spared,
of touching this subject again. The ig-
norance, and impuience of slaveocracy have
had their own way long enough. 1t is
high time that Freedom and Right and
Deceucy and Truth should speak word
or two. Ed. Pro TEN.

Much uncertainty continues to exist in
regard to the wheat crop of California the
present year. The destruction from va
rious causes has been large; yet it is gen.
orally conceded that there will be more
than sutficiency for our domestic wants,
as the number Of acres sown was greatly
larger than last year. 1t is, moreover,
well known now that the crops Of last year
were under-estimated, and that the quanti-
ty of old wheat still on hand is considera
bic. Indeed, the exports made within the
last three mouths exceed, in the aggregate
all the wheat supposed to be in the coun-
try when they commenced. So far as We
can learn, the oat crop has suffered but
little, and the barley not ut all. Tie sup
ply of these will be large. The potato
crop is in remarkably healthy condition,
and will be abundant.

some days previous.
How easily his life might have been
saved by the application Of a styptic one
Of the best end most easily obtained is
gunpowder. Let it be pulverized and
laid upon lint SO as to get as much as pos
sible in the cavity Of the tooth, held in
BY the wad Of lint or cotton. By renew
ing the application two or three times re-
Lief is rendered almost certain. We have
never known failure, and have seen it
applied to some desperate cases.

The President and Gov. Reeder.

WASHINGTON, Saturday, Aug. 4, 1855.
The readers Of The TRIBUNE will be
interested in any new facts, however in
considerable in their Importance, which
will throw any light upon the President $
disgraceful conduct toward Gov. Reedcr !;
aud though the following is no solution Of
the great query, Why was the Governor
discharged? SO earnestly repeated here
aud echoed everywhere, it shows that the
Governor is not wanting in that ready wit
quite as essential to politicians as logic
and learning:
The story goes that after some two or
three weeks consultation between Gov
Recder and the President upon the affairs
of Kansas, the nature Of which is guessed
at and whispered here among the know
ing ones, but the result of which certainly
was that the President refused to issue
any proclamation, or do any act for the
protection of Kansas, the Governor left
for home Meanwhile, the troubles in the
Cabinet increased, and the President, anx-
ious to please Gen Davis on the one hand,
and afraid of the North on the other, de-
tcrmined to make another appeal to Gov.
r. magnanimity, and sent confidential
agent, usually employed by him on such
occasions, to call on special and intimate
friend of the Governor, then in the city,
who represented in most lugubrious tones
that the President was exceedingly embar-
rased and perplexed in regard to Kansas,
that it gave him iufnite difficulty aud
trouble, and that be really thought Gov.
r. ought to relieve him from his trouble
by resisnipg the Office.
The friend, who perfectly understood
whence this came and what was expected
of him, at once communicated it to the
Governor at Easton, who rs promptly re-
piled "tbat if Mr.. Pierce believed in res
EQUATION as cure for the difficulties and
perple1ities ofan Administration, he might
practice il himself; but as for him, (Gov.
R.,) he was no disciple Of the doctrine,
and therefore could not be expected to act
upon it." The reply was rather cool, but
not more SO than the impertenence of the
message deserved, especially when it may
be inferred that the Governor was not in
a very good humor after discovering by
his two weeks interview that the Presi-
dent was determined to abandon hi. people
to the tender mercies Of the Missourians.
In few days after this message was
delivered the call upon Gov Reeder for
explanation of the half.breed land pur
chase made its appearance, and the unpre-
eedented course wa, adopted of publishing
to the world the accusation without first
hearing the reply.-Cor. ofMew York

PRopslTIoN TO TEST THE New York
PRoHIBIrcRY LAw.-Several leading sup
porters of the Prohibitory Law in New
York city, have united in letter to J.
Hayward, Esq, President Of the Liquor
Dealers Association, saying that in con-
sidera,ion ofthe difficulties thrown 10 their
way by the construction put upon the law
by the Mayor they propose that some
one or more of the members Of the Ii
quor Dealers Association shall place them
in possession of testimony Of the character
which shall be as unobjectionable as the
nature of the case will admit, but which
shall be sufficient to enable them jointly
to carry the following points on their
merits and in separate suits, through the
various forms to the Court of last resort,
with the least possible delay.
1.-The right of the State to prohibit
the Liquor Traffic.
2.-The constitutionality Of such parts
of the Prohibitory Law as authorize search
aud seizure
3.-Whether the Law allows the sale
of Imported Liquors by others than I'm
portcrs or in other than in the original
packages, except by those licensed under
the act.
4.-Whether trials for misdemeanor
uuder the law are confined to the Court Of
Sessions.
O;her relevant points, which it may be
desired to test vii. be added Tho letter
concludes with the remark, that if this
proposition is not accepted, 1t will be
regarded as an unmistakeable evidence OF
the weakness Of your cause, and Of the
little faith you have in the position you
have assumed, or in the opinions you lave
So layishly spread before the public"
