THE VIGILANCE CoMM1rTE.--By refer
ence to telegr aphic despatch from the
Marysville Express, to be found in another
column, it will be seen that Judge Terry
has been unconditionally released. They
could neither bend nor break him. 1t is
also announced that the Committee are
about to disband. We trust it may be so
We should be pleased to see the Committee
return to their senses, and by disbanding
their infamous organization, and returning
to their duty as citizens, restore peace to a
State well nigh on the borders of anarchy
We are not among those who wish to insin-
uate that the Committee have been induced
to disband because they feared the next
steamer would bring intelligence from Wash
ington which would place ut the disposal Of
the Governor the U. S. forces now on the
Pacific, to be used against them. We have
no desire to see the United States army and
navy employed against any portion of the
American people; but we prefer to see even
that than to see such an organization as the
Vigilance Committee continue in session.
God grant that wise counsels may prevail,
and that the Committee may disband with
out such proceedings The fact that the
Committee are divided among themselves,
and calling for the election of new Execu-
tive Committee, renders it quite probable
that the Committee will fall to pieces; or,
should they attempt to continue their trail
torous organization will soon fall easy
prey to the constituted authorities. Should
they not have the good sense to disband, we
can only pray to God that they may be
driven from the country they have dis
graced.

The Verdict.

The Coroner's Jury, on the bodies of
Brace and Hetherington, have returned
verdict to the effect that deceased came TO
their death by the hand of Robert Nixon
employed by the Vigilance Committee" 1t
is also stated that the body of Brace is to
be embalmed and preserved for some days,
with view of obtaining further evidence
of murder against the committee. On the
evidence adduced before the Coroner's Jury,
it is probable that warrant will issue for
a struggle between the committee and the
authorities. Not an armed contest perhaps,
but system of management by which Nix
on could evade the plain provisions of the
law. Would the committee seruple to en-
ploy such means as have heretofore beer
successfully employed in San Francisco, viz:
packed Jurys and suborned witnesses? Nix
on was but doing the bidding of the com
mittee, and of course they must clear him
What means will they employ? They can
not always maintain the force they now
have at command, to brow beat and over
ride the authorities. They must, then, re-
sert to the means used by the gamblers and
selves from the provisions Of the offended
law. They will be. compelled thus to
evade the law, or suffer the penalty of their
crimes. Such will be the effect of their
proceedings, so certain is it that one crime
begets another,
