THE SAN FRANCISCO VIGILANCE COMMITTEE.
1t is not altogether certain that the committee in
tend to disband. The following from the cores
pondent of the New York Journal of Commerce,
is confirmed by some of the San Francisco papers:
Since the discharge of Terry and all other pri-
soners in the custody of the committee, that body
has to certain extent contracted their operations,
by relinquising half of their garrison and their
guard, and also dispensing with much of their
artillery and ether munitions of defence. The ex-
penses of the committee have now beenreduced to
about g., 900 per month, which will no Doubt be
continued until after the fall elections New mem
bers are constantly being enrolled, and there are
otherwise no indications of disbandment; the vol
untary guard on duty will necessarily be small
both night and day, while the general committee
will ever stand ready to assemble at the tap OF the
bell should occasion ever arise, which we trust
will not be the case.
