lived, be would unquestlenably have been
among the" Law and Order" party. The
Law and Order party claim that Cora was
ncta murderer. They assert that Cora was
justified in killing Gen. Richardsoa, as Rich
ardson was dangerous man, and rpight have
killed Cora! *.
CHIEF JUSTICE MURRAY did not kill Mr..
Hill had he, Law and Order would have
justified him. A blow with cane, is, in the
| eye of Law and Order. crime of greater
magnitude than fatal wound from pistol
or bowie-knife, consequently Law and Order
imposed upon that exemplary Judge fine of
thirty dollars!
GREGORY YALE. a lawyer, and one of the
leading advocates of Law and Order, made a
brutal attack upon young man who had
been sent by his employer to collect an &C
count of long standing. Judge Campbell, one
of the most clamorous for Law and Order.
defended Yale, and said "if Yale had kt1led
Rowland, the law q would have justified

waiter at the hotel, because the said waiter
told him that according to the rules of the
house, no breakfast could be served after II
o'clock, without an order from the office
Eleven o'clock is rather late hour for
breakfast, but our worthy representative had
been to a party the night before, to prepare, /
for which he had, contrary to his usual Gus
tom, put pistol into his T ocket!
THE Hon. JOHN B. WELLER, our Senator at
Washington, says in his address to the peo-
pie of California, that the aforesaid Herbert /
was justified in killing said waiter. We would
suggest to Mr.. Weller that in future when he
i addresses his constituents in California, be
address the tLaw and Murder" party. We
would also suggest to. our Irish population,
that before they vote at future elections,
they ascertain whether the candidates for T
whom they design to vote, claim to be the
friends of foreigners also which they pre-
fer, the enemy who would deprive them of
their vote, or the friend who would deprive
them of life! 1
JUDGE TERRY has from the outset of the
present difficulty been one of the most prom
in ent Law and Order men. He has indeed
been the power behind the throne greater
than the throne itself What are his antece-
dents He is fighting man, a regular scion
OF modern chivalry. He has repeatedly been
known to take the law into his own hands
His brutal assault upon Evans, in Stockton,
without the least prov ocation, is fresh in the
minds of many. He accompanied DIR. Ashe
on bis nocturnal bullying excursion in Stock
ton, for which offence he (Ashe) was indicted
by the Grand Jury. and through frivolous
flaw in the indictment got clear. This same
Law and Order man, Chief Justice Terry, %
inflicted dangerous wound with bowie
knife on an unarmcd witness, in the District
Court, in the presence of Judge Creanor-
For this mnrderous assault he Was compelled
to pay-One dollar! On another occasion he ,
committed an assault upon J. Fl. Purdy, edl-
tor of the Pacific Statesman, for which he was
fined $3OO These are some of the eccentri-
cities of which this pillar of Law and Order |
has been guilty previous to his last crowning
attempt at stabbing in the streets of San
Francisco on Saturday last. rs This, read
er, is the individual who has been elevat-
ed by ballot-box suffers and rowdies to
seat on the Supreme Bench of California,
from which he has now graduated to felon's
cell in the Vigilance Committee Rooms of
San Francisco! GLOW do you like the pic
ture?"
I, JOHN MCDoUGAL, Ex-Governor of Califor-
MIA, another prominant Law and Order man,
has seen fit to take sudden departure from
the State, for what cause we know not, but
have good reason to infer from the fact of his
intimacy with some of the expatriated bull
lies and rowdies, that he might possibly have
some fear of the personal attentions Of the
Vigilance Committee before his eyes At all
events the fact of his fraternizing with the
notorious Duane, who was placed by the Com
mittee on the same boat with him, is enough
to affix to his name stigma of everlasting
disgrace. He, it will be recollected, is the
Governor who interposed his executive Gle
mency to save Duane. from the State Prison
where he was sentenced for an attempt to
kill! When Duane was placed on board the
steamer, an outlaw, ~, ]. Med" took him
from the steerage to his own state-room, and
made a companion of him! We trust they
will conclude to seek and enjoy together some
congenial cline far away from California.
