In al times aud ages there are msn who became -,
splcuoas not from inherent greatness but from mamie
hteness Among the latter stands j. Neeley Johnson ~
present governor Of our State illustrated ia bis action
81 yesterday In declaring the county Of San Francisco IA
state OF nsurreci0n Never has State paper frauyb
with so much evil intent fallen completely stubborn
us demand Tor the enrolment OF the militia as our
city is concerned.
Yesterday passed many Of its predecessors have IN
quetudei but qutetude Of portcnous import The proe
maIop as wen a he Sddress OF Major General Sherman
TO the people freely discussed 10 the exclusion of ~
most every other topic and rather confirmed by M
various opulons and remarks which have reached US n
Tue oeei that collision between the ygants and the u
thorties need not be apprehended II we were to uds
rom the public response TO the call Of the major general
his forces will make but sorry appearance but Il Is AZ
serted the other hand that the real work of euis,m
goes on silently and rapidly and that the proper mor
the city will be asonshed al the force which will be brought
TO support the cause of "aw and order We do not believe
"a any such ianced demonstration, and for the simple
fact that whilst the city is known contain only some
II 900 voters full 1000 able-bodied enrolled i
the cause OF the committee and are OF loss after de-
Quoting The aged the timd and the Indifferent from The
remainder to know where this oyerpowerng force il d.
come from
We have no fears of a collision General Sherman
must see that any attempt by force of break up
powerful organization emanatng with the great body Of
tue substantial responsibility integrity and wealth ofhe
cyan organization forced into spontaneous existass
under the natural law of seEdenee against the baa
the assassin or the robbery OF the election buesan aao
citation which was hailed with gratitude by an ,ut
ragged people, who haze awarded TO 1t their full conhdace
and supportwouid result in of disaster misery
which years of subsequent law and order could heal
oblterate from the disgraced character of the city
We however, repeat our hope of yesterday that ON
mee win use prompt despatch in eiectuuly bringng 10
successful close the object of their association Such W.
are sure 10 the desire OF member OF that body ab
they are and but naturally unwilling 10 lay down thar
arms until the good work-that which, we have SAID
has been forced upon them--has been fully completed
And let the citizens generally, who may be disposed 10
listen to the specous arguments against the actso
been, and what 1t is likely become under the purena
utnence OF the who have assumed the fearful respc
sbiiy OF rghtng the wrong have endured for arnst
the whole time that the city has existed
In all seriousness, ask il Governor johnson really
believed the city OF San Francisco be in state OF nsu-
ecton? supposed for one instant that we as czps
OF the State contemplated utilization of laws Thet
we had banded together wasted time and money nd
incurred all the responsibilities involved for the pr
pose OF opposing the mniste Of the law in the
of their sworn dutiesY Does his excelency know any
thing or viii he still persist in ms know nothing ideas Of
the present movement OF the people Of this city Musse
again iutorm him that the real "lawand-orisrr
party that the people have done anything but whm
the laws should have done and that they do not conm.
plate doing anything further than the enforcement Of The
act entitled IAN act for The punishment of vagrantsn
a somewhat modified, but vastly improved formridding
the of them instead OF keeping them confined in
local jail at public expense, pensioners instead Of
conycts2
We call upon the governor TO refectto think and act
for himself and to shake off the influence unduly obtained
which precpitates him into such uncaled-ior and out
rageous action.
