The Rutland papers of this A. NJ, contain
the particulars of riot in that city on .Satur
day night. The Commencement of the dis
turbances, it appears, was caused by the pur-
chase of some liquor by the Mayor and to
transfer to the city agency by his Casting
vote, in The Board Of Aldermen, Saturday
p. NJ.
An attack on the building was begun chief
~ by boys throwing stones. Mayor Dorr
then appeared, hourishing sword, with two
military companies, which he had ordered
out. The appearance of the military exas-
perated the crowd, who received them with
groans and Kisses. Mayor Dorr ordered the
military to fire, which order Capt. Green re-
fused to obey, saying that the circumstances
did not call for such severe measures. The
Rifle Guard soon after appeared, when the
mob burst open tho door Of the liquor room.
A section of the Guard 0y order Of the May
or fred and one person was killed and six
or eight badly wounded.
A public meeting of citizens was held this
morning and committee appointed to ex-
anime the cause and particulars of the riot.
A coroners inquest has been empannelled to
report On the death of Geo. Robbins.

no harm IN this rude froiie, put great deal
Of blessing. How the strong Wind setting in
from the sea, furls the broad, heavy wings Of
the Death angel, that broods over the crowed
city, and carries away with it too, the cob
webs that some sly, moody spider of a
thought has woven in the hooks and corners
of the brain.
The Wind is something Of an artist too,
and does things with the snow, that Powers
never did with the Parian, but then it is the
month Of May, and we will e'en let its genius,
as Sculptor rest, until DEFENDERS stormy
call shall wake it.
The Wind, like almost every body else,
has its merry and its melancholy moments.
How gaily il dances among the corn, sweep
over their tassellcd forms and rafting their
waving blades like knights at an old tourna-
ment.
Then how fondly it haunts old houses:
moaning under the roofs, signing in the
halls, opening old doors without fingers, and
singing measure Of some sad old song
round the fireless and deserted earth.
How boldly it follows the grapdest Of US
all. and carefully covers up our footprints in
the sand, and removes all trace that We have
ever walked thereon.
But the impression We gain from ell this,
Is that the Wind is neither empty nor wanton
nor idle-that it does something more than
whistle or wander; that it has n0bler duties
to perform than lifting the tress from the
check OF beauty, or turning the leaves Of an
open book upon a window sill; that whether
freighted from Java, or Araby the Best, it
has life or death in it; that it goes forth to
the sowing, when the winter is over and gone,

DEMOCRATIC CENTRAL COMMITTEE.
AUBURN. OCTOBER 90. 1866.
Indebtedness Of the County.

With each session Of our Board of Super
visors, we find that the County Indebtedness
greatly increases, until, at last. it has reached
such a startling figure that almost every tax
payer expresses a desire TO see some course
pursued bv which this debt can be diminish
ed, instead Of increasing as it has been doing
for months past.
The debt of Placer county now stands at
100000. and scrip is at discount of so
per cent in the market. This last fact alone
has induced many OF late to urge the neces-
sity of funding the debt. That some such
course will have to be pursued is unqueston-
able. The county, with It's paper 50 greatly
deprecated, is compelled to submit to heavy
prices for all worl, that is required to be
done for it. If move is made to fund the
debt or levy special tax to Hquidate it, a
different state of things will soon take place
The credit of the county viii improve and
economy in the administration of affairs will
aid much toward it. We hope our legisla-
tors will have the Board Of Supervisors re-
iueed in number from five TO three, and bv
so doing save abut thousand dollars year
to the county; for it is utterly useless having
such a large board. Three can do what is
required to be done Just as well as larger
number, ana We think great deal better
The receipts of the county are estimated
at about So, 600 per year, and the expenses
for the same length Of time at $4,000, leay-
ing balance Of some 1000 annually 10 be
applied towards Hquidating the present in
debtedness. That is under favorable ad-
ministration Of affairs which with a reason
able increase of taxable property would free
us from debt in about ten years. We make
this as a rough estimate, not having had time
to collect the statistics and % into a close
calculation of the matter, and from it draw
the conclusion that it would be much better
for the debt Of the county to be funded. and
then We can 90 on the cash sYsfcn2 in the
future. All our public buildings will have
been completed by the time the Legislature
meets, ana the L ulld4h9 ~ANC t"H DOoNlilC q
law, and then we need Be at TO expense in
future only that which viii have to be in
CURED in carrying on the business Of the
county. It.mould be we'll for the taxpayers
throughout the county to express their opin-
ion in regard to dis question, SO tllat our
members in the next legislature can know
the wishes Of their constituency.

Inns, killing him instantly

The Panama Consulshin

From the Star and Herald of the 97,l
ut.. we get the following particulars of tho
indignities offered our Consul at Panama
We are authorized to state, that owinp to
certain insults offered to the Governme nj Of
the United States, through the Consul bero
by the Governor of this Province, that tho
flag of the United States will be struck Ly
the Consul to-day, at l J A. NJ.
According to the Consular treaty betweor
the United States and New Granada Con.
suls have right to apply to the authorities
Of the district i'll which they reside, on mat
tiers respecting their citizens, &c, and the
authorities are bound to respect the applca
ton. Notwithstanding this, we learn that
the Governor Of the Province has returned
unopened letter addressed to him by the
Counsel of the United States, on important
business, without assigning any reason what
ever for such conduct.
The part Of the treaty to which we refer
reads as follows:
Cd They may app y to the authorities of
the consular district, and in case of necessity
they may have recourse to the national GOV
ernment through the diplomatic agent of
their nation, if there be any, or directly, if
if there be no such agent, against any abuse
on the part of the authorities Of the country,
or the persons employed by them, against
individuals of their nation in whose service
the Consul is. engaged; and they may, when
necessary, take such measures as may be pro-
per to prevent justice from being denied to
them, or delayed, and to prevent them from
being judged or punished by any other than
competent judges, and agreeably to the laws
in force
81. They may, as the national defenders
Of their fellow countrymen, appear in their
name and behalf, whenever 50 requested BY
them, before the respective authorities of the
place, in all cases in which their support may
be necessary

LYNCH Law at Columbia

On Wednesday evening man from Van
bee Hill, familiarity known as Jack Smith,
went to liquor saloon in Columbia, Tuol-
mne county, and while there cot into a
quarrel with the keeper--a woman named
Martha Carries, During the disturbance one
Barclay, friend Of the woman, came in, and
upon ascertanlng what was going on, drew a
pistol and shot Smith dead upon the spot.
The bystanders Immediately seized the muir
derer, and sending for the Marshal, delivered
him over into his custody. As soon as the
facts in the case became generally known
there was much excitement. and in abont
half an hour atterward the people assembled
around the Jail, broke down the doors. and
taking possession of the prisoner, marched
him to spot about a quarter of a mile from
town, and there hung him. The Sheriff of
the county arrived from Sonora few min
utes before the execution took place. but his
force proved entirely insufficient to cope with
the populace.

General Cass' Letter.

We published last week this able letter. 1t
would be we'll for the prating Hindoos. who have

was member Of their order, to read his letter.
1t will be remembered by all, how, in the late
canvass, the X. Ms eulogiscd the old statesman.
Had this letter reached California previous to the
election, we are inclined to think some of their
praises of him would have turned into curses.
