Where will it End q?

The tragedy has begun but who can foretell the
end The future is sealed book, and can only
be judged of by the past. The uprising of the
people in San Francisco was caused by series Of
acts committed by set of men whose history for
crime, finds no parallel in the annals of the At
antic States. The people of that city saw no
safety in the future for their lives and fortunes
save in their own might, and as the only resort,
they formed themselves into body Vigilante
and commenced the work of freeing the city of
these notorious characters, all of which is fresh
in the memory of every citizen of the State. The
last act of the Committee is fraught with more
serious consequences than any other since their
organization, if not all others combined. The
stab that Mr. Hopkins received from Judge Terry
will most probably prove fatal, and if the news
from the Bay City can be relied on the life of the
Judge will pay the forfeit, in case of the death
of Hopkins q result that no man, unless he be
mad, desires to see. Should such result be pro-
duced, (Which we deyoutly hope will not0 a civil
war would be commenced that we fear will drench
San Francisco in fraternal blood, only to be stay
ed by the determination of the leaders of the one
party, or the overthrow OF the state government.
The PRESENT. is crisis that requires cool and calm
delberation to steer the bark of State safe thro
the mist and fog that has hitherto surrounded
those entrusted with the helm, and now clouds the
present Executive. To our former Executive and
his political friends are we indebted for the caus
es which gave rise to the organization of the peo
pie of San Francisco in their present form. To
the present Executive are we indebted for their
Keeping up that organization. Had the prOca-
nation been issued at the time Casey was demand
ed by the Committee, or had it been Withdrawn
when the petition of two thousand citizens of Sac
ramento requested it, we believe that they would
ere this, have disbanded, and the present fearful
crisis been averted. But we are in the midst of
it and what shall be done what can be DONE
The Committee ought not to take the life of
Judge Terry-this would be carrying the matter
to extremes, and produce state of feeling through
out the State that would result in consequences
equally serious as those sought to be corrected
by them. The act of Judge Terry was rash and
reprehensbe in the extreme, but we do not think
the Committee would be justifiable in taking his
life.

Salmon Trail.

Each succeeding season, cut offs are made upon
the various trails leading to and from our mining
districts, bringing us much closer together. The
time was when the trail from this place to Salmon
river was both dangerous and lengthy, requiring
two or three days to perform the trip but new
pass has been discovered within the last year. and
now by way of Bates Ranch, the trip can be
made from this place to the Salmon dggings in
day. The Salmon mines, it would seem, are as
suming position of some Importance in the low
er Counties We are informed that the passenger
trains from Shasta to Salmon are daily carrying
in large number of passengers, and from the
fact that the trains carry out but few ON their
turn we infer that those at work there are salts
fled with the locality, and that the mines pay
ing. ...
We are glad to see miners coming into this
Northern country We have plenty of room for
them, and better diggings than can now be found
in the Middle and Southern mines

Arrest Of Judge D. s. Terry by the Vigi'
lance Committee.

The powers and duties of a Supreme Court of
sovereign State are confined to particular branch
of that sovereignty. In this State the powers of
the Government are divided into three separate
departments Legislative, the Executive, and
the Judicial. and in the language of the Constitu-
tion. " no person charged with the exercise Of
powerc properly belonging TO one of these depart
ments, shall exercise any functions belonging to
either of the Others except in the cases hereinaf-
ter expressly directed or permitted"
Before the issuing of the Governors proclama-
ton, Judge Terry issued writ of habeas corpus
for some person in the custody of the Committee,
and the Deputy Sheriff of San Francisco Co. was
refused admittance to the Committee Rooms to
serve the writ. The Governor then declared by
proclamation the County of San Francisco to be
in state of insurrection, and called upon the
militia of about one-half of the State to quell
said insurrection. Was Judge Terry effected by
the proclamation, either personally officially !?
Could he be compelled to bear arms under the call
of the Executive, to put down an insurrection in
any part of the State, one of the Judges of the
Supreme Court? Did not his duty as Judge in
regard to the nsurrection cease the moment the
writ of haJeds corpus was issued? Let the reader
answer these questions.
Judge Terry's duties require his personal atten-
tion at Sacramento and not at San Francisco and
had he been attending to the duties assigned him
by the Constitution of the State, and the elective
franchise of the people, instead of using a deadly
weapon in defense of Reub. Mallory, he would
have been spared his present unpleasant predica-
ment, and the Committee of performing an act
not of their own seeking, The arrest of Judge
Terry has not been caused by any official act on
his par but the commission of an illegal and I'M
official act in the defending or rather attempting
to prevent the Committee from arresting a man
that he had no legal authority over. Is it the law
of the land for the Judges of the Supreme Court
TO deliver their opinions with double barreled shot
guns, bOwie-knives and pistols, or in writing as
prescribed by law? The latter seems to be more
in consonance with truth and Justice and an en-
lightened Government.
This act of the Judge has completely blocked
the wheels of one of the three departments of
our State government. Judge Heydenfelt is alb
sent from the State, on leave of the Legislature,
and no quorum left to attend to the business be-
fore the Supreme Court This is deeply to be re-
GREETED by every one interested in the welfare of
the State 1t is to be regretted by all, for Judge
Terry is man that has enjoyed the confidence of
the whole community, for his strict integrity and
legal learning. But when blind rashness takes the
place of reason, results will be produced that must
be asource of universal commisseration. Charity
forces us to attribute this act of the Judge to
rashness, rather than design to do an intention
oil wrong.

The Mines.

On Canon Creek, some two miles below Cahon
City, party of miners from Weaver sunk a shaft
last week, on fiat below the red hills, and found
it very rich, the dirt paying from IS to sl2 to
the bucket This produced some excitement which
caused the entire fiat to be staked off, The pla-
Ger has not been sufficiently prospected yet to de-
termne its extent The miners ON the creek gen
orally, are doing well,
On Big Flat, Trinity tiver, the mines are pay
ing richly One company, composed of three
men, have averaged 5 ounces day for the last
three weeks
The new river dggings are attracting consid-
cradle attention lately, and the miners the riv-
er are doing more than an average business.
The mines at Ridgeville, usual, are yielding
rich retarn for the labor bestowed.
Take the County at large and the present will
prove to be the season since the mines were opened.
