SAN FRANcIsco.-The papers by the Illinois grave

cisco. and throughout California generally. The i'm
beetle or corrupt Know Nothing State Executive has
feebly succumbel, and the constitutional and con-
sttued powers of the State lie PROSTATE at the feet
of irresponsible organizations, known as Vigil
Committees, and revolution has been accomplished,
full, complete and thorough, just as much revolu
ton any thing that we read about in Mexico or
Central America. A Judge of the Supreme Court
of the Stale lies in one of the dungeons of the COM
mttee for having resisted the Illegal arrest of man
named Maloney, which was sought TO be effected by

In looking the papers about the only thing to
be noticed is the absence of all interest in their col

friend, pub cation in reply the card and
documents given to the world by s. P. Brooks and
Gen. Lane. Burngame goes on Diminishing Mr.
Brooks from further consideration with quite an air.
Campbell assumes all the responsibilities of the ap-

City arising out of the Herbert affair. A jury has
declared Herbert not guilty, and at law he is not
guilty, but is impossible for any who has read
the testimony to hold him bameless. The difficulty

bullying and insulting language and manner. For
the consequence, therefore, his conscience can
not fail, sooner later, to hold him responsible
We never supposed that the offence committed was
deliberate murder, or that the walters at the Hotel
were not highly censurable. STILL Rerberts conduct
and that of era of his boon companions indicated
recklessness and disregard of human life and human
feelings because such life and feelings pertained to
men occupying humble positions in life. Those who
started the report that Herbert had settled house
and annuity on Keating's widow, knew little of

0J-We invite attention to the letter of Hon. D. s.
Reid, copied from the Standard. 1t puts to rest at
once the silly-the rdculousy silly charge against
Mr.. Buchanan of having voted for the Bankrupt of
1841, failed to vote for its repeal in 1843. The
