EXCITEMENT AT Los ANGELEs,-By the arrival of
thu Sea Bird we have news from Los Angeles to the
Goth July. The citizens have been thrown into
state of great alarm, by the arming of the natives
and threatened attack on the citizens The origin
of the trouble we abbreviate from an account in the
Sacramento Union:
On Saturday morning last, (Juy l9th,) an attach
ment was issued from the Justices Court Of Alex.
Gibson, and placed in the hands of VIM. jenkins,
Deputy Constable, for execution on the property Of
a Mexican named Antonio Rus. This circumstance,
simple i'll ITSELF led to cXentS, which have kept the
town in state of alarm end excitement during the
whole of this wcek-the Consequences Of which may
yet, in many cases, lead to fatal results.
On that morning jenkins prncceded to execute the
writ and meeting with some little obstruction in the
discharge Of his duty, rashly pulled his pistol and
dred the ball taking effect in The breast OF Antonio
Ruis. causing his death on the evening of the follow
Ing day, Sunday.
By the evidence, the conduct of the officer was
wholly uncalled for, opposition being made to the
execution, requiring iorcible display much less for
the sacrifice Of human life. Circumstances, however,
have since occurred, which have almost obiterated
the ciftnse from the public mind These we shall
now relate as briefly us possible:
Immediately after committing the rash deed, Jel-
kinS surrendered himself to a Justice, and was ad-
mtted to bail. On the death of Ruis Il warrant was
issued for his apprehension, on application by the
District Attorney to Judge Hayes, and he was ccm-
mtted to the custody Of the Under Sheriff, to await
examination The officer did not think proper to
place him in confinement, but let him go at large,
and to this circumstances, in opinion, is mainly
attributable the excitement that followed, the Span
ish population taking offence that one who had. in
their estimation, committed murder, should be at
large, and armed.
Thereupon the lower class of native Californans
began to organize in military style, and their forces
increased us they lay encamped outside the city, till
they thought themselves strong enough to prepare for
an attack. The better class of Calornians used
their influence to prevent hostilites, but had no
couragement from the bauditt, and all early attack
was anticipated
The excitement in town became general, and in
consequence the families in the suburbs of the city
very generally moved into town, and were provided
for in the best manner under the circumstances.
Don Andres Pico at the head ol party Of twenty
Calilornians well armed and mounted, started out to
scour the hills and raves and returned on Thursday
evening, bringing in prisoner, Frenchman one of
those in command of the insurgents.
