LET 1T BE SETTLED.-We reiterate our
declaration that this controversy between
the Vigilance Committee and the State
authorities has gone too far to be settled by
an appeal to arms. Battles and butcheries
never yet settled satisfactorily any dispute
between nations, or parts of the same ma
tiOn of people. The best time for settling
all domestic controversies is before a serious
blow is struck. Now is the time to termi-
nate this San Francisco affair, honoraby
and satisfactorily to all parties, through the
medium Of negotiation. The life of Judge
Terry, conceived to be in danger if Hopkins
dies, could have been secured, had the au-
thorlties and his friends moved at the right
moment
There is not shadow of hope that he
could be saved by force the only real hope
lays in negotiation, this We fear has been too
long delayed. The morning after his arrest
the first important step ought to have been
taken 1t may not yet be too late for the
authorities TO move in this matter if it is
not, they should be moving now This
whole difficulty can be compromised in two
days, if taken hold of by the right kind of
men, and the pride of opinion of those in
power does not present insurmountable OBJ
stacles- Sac Ua,0a.

The Prisoners Fehley and Wise.

John Fehley and John Wise were convicted at
the May Term of the District Court, for this Coun-
ty of murder, and sentenced to be executed on
the 10th of July. Appeals were taken to the Su-
preme Court in each case, and stay of judgment
has been received in the case of Fehley, SO that
he stands good chance of living some time be-
fore his case can be heard before the Supreme
Court The Supersedeas has not been Received
in WiSes case, yet, but it will probably reach
here before the day of execution
Judge Heydenfelt is absent from the State, and
Judge Terry in the hands of the Vigilance Com
mttee which leaves but one out of the three
Judges to act, and it requires the concurrence of
two to render judgment, thus it appears that we
shall not have July Term of this Court, and no.
thing can be done till the October Term,
