ularly to such a paper as the Spirit ofhe Age,
published at the exceeding low price of one
Dollar per annum-Such a letter as the fol-
lowing, does not deserve a paper at any

H1"lt is the boast of some anti-yigi-
lance men, that the legal fraternity, which
is acknowledged to possess more intelli-
gence and ability than any other class of
equal numbers, is found arrayed in favor
Of law and order. Allowing this to be
true, it is not at all strange that it is so.
1t IS repulsive to lawyer to connect HIM
self with those opposing the regular ad-
administration of the laws. 1t is difficult
for him to overcome the respect which
study hegets for the regularly constituted
authorities, and to yield his assent to the
subversion ofasystem which has been ma
tured by the experience, learning and wis
dom of centuries. And were these OBJ
stacles overcome, there is one, more DO
tent than all the rest, rising up before
him. Self interest would unite nine law
yers out Of ten against the Vigilance Com
mitteo. a lawyer lives by the abuses
of the law. and Vigilance Committees de-
prive him Of his livelihood.

consumed. The type and press of the american

On the next day Georgetown suffered a simi.
lar late. The whole business portion of the
town was laid in ashes. The loss is severe but
variously estimated. Georgetown is supposed
to have been set on fire, as there had been no
fires kindled in that part of the town where
the fire originated, during the las. two months
The fire at Placervile is thought to have orig

to Red Bluffs. The distance as determin-

IHE FOURTH. OF THE Day
The sportsmen of the vicinity had a splendid
time at the Union Course. Hughes it is said
outdid himself in doing the agreeable to The
immense crowd that favored him with an at
tendance.
Not far from The sport another more quiet
multitude were gathered together, to celebrate
the day in q rational manner. The Sunday
School children ofNevada, Grass Valley and
Rough and Ready were there with their joyful
faces, gala dresses, and beautiful banners.--
The little ones were addressed by Rev. Mr..
ramsey, aud children of larger growth were
regaled with an oration from George B. Ting
ley, and spirited extempore speech from
A. A. Sargent, Esq. which was loudly applau
ded The whole company was sumptuously
fed by an excellent repast furnished for the
occasion.
The projected celebration at Woods Ravine
proved total failure. The Orators of the day.
Ferguson and Bagley, Of Sacramento, were non
invsntus, and the consequence was, as many as
one person swore terribly, like the army in
Flanders, and table, large enough to seat
the aforesaid army around, was left loaded
down with pigs, turkeys, chickens and ct ceteras
ready to be eaten but wanting the eaters.

7 PEoPLE's PARTY--A writer in the Sac
Union is out in favor of another new party to
be called the Peoples Party To the project
the Union itself gives its assent in the main
and declares 'the time has arrived for the peo
pie to act for themselves in selecting their
public agents, and no longer to trust to the
nominations of swindling party conventions" !"
TO this we agree, but before tearing down the
house We live in, rotten as it may be, we would
like to see the new domicil completed, or at
least some timber on the ground cut of which
it may be constructed. If the present struc-
lures are SO far gone that there is danger of
their falling about our ears, it might be wise
to move out and save our bacon. But we do
not believe majority Of both parties are COR
rupt-that the party edifces are so rotten as
to be dangerous. Ifso, what hope is there of
forming pure peoples party" out of them
which shall be clear of political imperfections
What use is there in forming party pure as
virgin, If it is always to be defeated And if
there is any show Of its success, how long will
it be before political tricksters will swarm to
its ranks and control its action as effectually
as, according to The belief Of the Union, they
now do the two great parties of the State?
The American party became fully fedged
only last year, has figured in but one election,
and has made as many professions of purity as
the proposed peoples party" can do, and
doubtless with as much earnestness, and with
as good show of success in carrying out the
principles of reform enunciated. If that party
has given the lie to its professions can we trust
another party more implicitly, which is to be
formed in large degree out Of the same ee-
ments ?
1t is easier to discover an evil, than point out
certain remedy. Those who favor q peoples
party, will do well to spread their principles to
the world, aud show plain infallible safeguards
to their protection, secure from the "machin-
cry of Swindling party conventions" Before
we let go our hold, let us know where we are
to fall, and tie nature OF the ground on which
TO aiight.

ADOPTED CITIZENS ASp THE VIGILANCE
CoMMrrTEE.-The S. T. WochenblaH, a Ger
man paper, of July A. contains two articles In
defense of the course pursued by the French
and Germans in the support of the Vigilance
Committee. The evidence ofau organ of re-
spectacle foreigners, is corroboratiye of the
fact that the law and order forces of San Franz
cisco are not composed of the intelligent, think
ing men of the community, who are interested
in the reign CT justice, and who can contrib.
ute largest to the support of government aud
good society
We quote the following from the journal al
luded to:
The many assaults made upon the Germans
and French for their support of the Vigilance
Committee have with one or two exceptions,
come from very questionable source. Near>
y the whole law and order force which was
captured last Saturday by the Vigilance Com
mittee, was composed principally Of low Irish
There were very few Americans among them.
While there are many highly respectable Irish-
men and Americans belonging to the law and
order party, yet tie rank and file Of the com.
pany are made up Of foreigners and they are,
we believe without an exception natives of
Ireland. But while this is the case no one
has attempted to SANDER them.
Gen. Howard in his report to Governor
johnson calls the French citizens who have
joined the Vigilance Committee "convicts. ;"
This falsehood lie i base enough to make in an
official report. It is some qualification to
know that Americans themselves have hurled
this falsehood into the teeth of the slanderer.
Had these French citizens joined his forces, he
would have praised them for their yalor and
patriotism. But the French and Germans
who are now heartily cooperating with the
Vigilance Committee, do not intend to be
sServed from their duty by these slanders.
That's the way to talk it.
