aid Sir. bloody affray occurred in our quiet

shot, and died almost instantly. The perpe-

This morning there is not man among them
that is not for law and order. CONSTITUTION.
Whoever wrote the above must be pc
cularly constituted. A lie will suit his
purposes better than the truth. That the
affair, which resulted in the death Of Jor-
den, produced any change in the senti-
ments of the people of this place, concern
ing the propriety ola Vigilance Commit

So wholly is it without the color of truth,
that no man having character for vcrac-
ty to lose, dare avow himself the author.
Nearly every man of the American par
ty, and the honest portion of the Demos
racy, are in favor of the Viglantes. The
homicide at Lewis s. Wright's Billiard
Saloon, did not change public sentiment a
whit. Did not the District Attorney, who
is warm supporter Of the Vigilance Com
mittee, go to Downieville, to use his inhu-
ence against the liberation of Lewis on
bail ?-and did not Judge Searls, another
Vigilante, refuse to allow such bail?-
George Lewis himself, asks no other priv
ileges than are accorded to others of his
countrymen.
1t is a prominent part of the Vigilan-
tees creed, that the laws shall be upheld
in all their power. The only complaint
is that they have not been so upheld

THE HoNoRABLE HOMICIDE. Mr.. Der
ringer says Phil. Herbert ought to be set
at liberty. The reasons are these Phil.
IS an Honerable-a member of Congress
and Democrat to boot. The man be
shot was vulgar fellow, common wal
ter at hotel, who worked for a living,
and an lrishman at that. Phil. had been
out all night drinking like gentleman,
and risking few dollars at faro just to
demonstrate his claims to responsibility
and prove himself not infected with puri-
tanlsm in the least. Like gentleman,
as he is, he got up late, his hair pulling in
aristocratic style, stomach and pockets
empty and7wanting to be filed. He was
IN i'll humor, aud who has better right
to be than a Congressman. The waiter
wouldn't break the rules of the hotel and
get Phil. his grub out of season. Couldn't
he as easily have trampled the rules of an
eating house under foot as Phil. the laws
There wasn't nothing of the "Young
America" in him. Hewas only an Irish
man and no fllibustersss.
Phil. felt his hairspull and perhaps
thought somebody was the cause of it
felt his pockets empty and was perfectly
oblivious of how they came so-saw two
or three vulgar looking fellows about, not
Congressman, and suspicioned them
something inside called loudly, Phil!
Phil! (fll) and he couldn't resist, no
gentleman could, the appeal made 10 his
honor and feelings. It was case Of JUS
tiiable and honorable homicide.

THE SHERIFF's OFFIcE."-The Dem
ocrat has found mares nest in the Sher
ifs Office. Somebody is charged with
having let out culprit before the term
of his imprisonment had expired. The
proof is produced in the following man
ner:
zone McCourtney was imprisoned in
the county Jail on the Goth day of March
1856, upon commitment from Justice
Farquhar, of Bridgeport township, for the
period of two months, and discharged be-
fore the expiration of his term that he
was seen at large as early as the 2lst OF
May, 1856.
Now, the boot appears to be on the
other foot. Instead of censuring the Sher-
III for discharging the prisoner before his
time, he is entitled to credit for too
faithful execution of the laws. The pris-
oner was sentenced for two months. CON-
mencing on the Goth of March. On the
2lst of May he was seen at liberty. The
proof SO far is that the prisoner overstaid
his time one day, instead of being set at
liberty seven days before it expired.
Another egg in the mares nest, is the
boy Richard Holmes. His case is mon
strous one in the eyes of our neighbor.-
"The records of the County show that the
Sheriff has been paid three hundred and
forty-two dollars fer his support" -
Holmes was sentenced to imprisonment
for term of five or six months" The
Sheriff was allowed 50 so per day each
for taking care of his prisoners, and charg.
ed for the whole time at that rate, as he
had a perfect right to do. 1t is true that
"the boy' was let out of Jail before he
had been long incarcerated, but was al
ways in the Sheriff's care till his time ex-
pired, as many citizens can testify. He
was allowed more liberty on the recon-.
mendation of the Court that sentenced
him. The Court became, after the SEN
tcnce was pronounced, thoroughly con
vinced that the Prisoner was not the gull
Ity one, bat was suffering for the crime oi
another, End desired mitigation of his
Punishment, which was granted as far as
possible by the Sheriff.
The Democrat doubtless wants the pri-
soners fed on bull beef at a penny pound,
and the Sheriff to tako care of them for
nothing.
1t isn't worth much, of course it isn't,
for man to feed and be responsible for a
dozen desperate rascals. The Democrat
is also perfectly oblivious to the fact that
the Board of Supervisors raced the Jail
or's account upwards of $400, and that
the County pays in scrip at deprecated
price, for services rendered the public.
We understand the leading proprietor
Of the Democrat says she does not think
Mr.. Tompkins the jailor is much to blame
in this matter, but the thing must be harp
ed on for political capitaI.' A most des-
picable motive.

RECOGNITION OF ILLIBUsTERDoM.-
One of the most important itegls of news
by the last steamer, is TIE recognition of
the Rivas-Walker government in Nicara-
qua, by tho President. The statesman
ship OF Marcy was of too high an order
to lend its countenance to the dangerous
measure. But his opposition was of little
avail, when the Cincinnati Convention de-
manded a sacrifice, no matter what, for
the benefit of the President South, the
announcement of the event seems to have
been well received, though many promi-
nent politicians in that quarter, were op-
posed to dabbling in the fllibuster affair.
But north, among the masses, the course
of the President is much censured. In
the present somewhat complicated state
of our relations with England, it was Ger
tainly not the part of prudence to involve
the nation in more difficulties.
Perhaps, considering the desperate
strait to which franklin Pierce is driven,
in view of the Convention ahead, some fool
hardy step on his part may serve to attach
one more vote to his name, and if so, in
the usual predatory language of an author,
che will feel that his labors have not ycri-
ly been spent in vain.' Somebody has
very appropriately said of the act, that
''it came too late for the Cincinnati Con-
vention, and too soon for history.n
