DISMISSAL OF THE TROOPS.
The work Of death being ended the body
of armed men who had acted as guards on
the occasion were all drawn up in line on
Sacramento street, extending from Davis
street to Sansome street double lille, and
were reviewed by the superior officers They
exhibited proficiency in the use of arms,
and the positions and movements Of soldiers,
which were truly creditable, and gained for
themselves the commendation Of thousands
Of spectators. After this review they cOun-
ter-marchCd down to the rooms, and entering
one door stacked their arms, filed out an
other door and mingled with the citizens as
usual.
The power they had assumed for a GER
tain object, they quietly laid down, and re-
sumed their various business pursuits after
its accomplishment. Their mission is full
filled. They have undertaken and executed
a good work They have not abused the
power they took from the Courts. They
have not done injustice They have not
wronged They have not injured. But
they have done the duty Of good citizens,
and the world will approve their course
May the time never arrive when it will be
necessary to repeat the action of the past
week, and may they never falter in doing it
when similar eXigency occurs.
TIE ARTILLERY.
The Artillery Company Of the Revolution
lists took their pieces down to the foot of
California Street Wharf after the execution,
and discharged them into the water and
stored away their accoutremcnts. About
800 men were left on guard at the rooms of
the Committee last night to protect their
arms and property.

EVENTS OF THE MORNING.
Our streets have assumed a more quiet
aspect, this morning, than we have witnessed
for several days past. The proceedings Of
yesterday have very naturally produced such
result There is, however, considerable
stir about the headquarters Of the Vigilance
Committee, and a constant guard is kept up
there.
Various rumors are alloat OF a counter or
ganization in the city, comprising those who
are opposed to the Committee; but so far as
we can learn, there is no truth in them: al
though we were informed this morning, by
a gentleman who said he knew of his own
knowledge, that such was the case, and that
regular meetings and drills are held every
day, the parties collecting arms in the mean
time. We cannot believe that there are per-
sons SO foolhardy in our midst as to attempt
u thing of this kind. 1t is an utter impossi-
bility for the Federal and State authorities
to concentrate forces here sufficient to cope
with the Committee The three thousand
armed men of the Committee are not all the
strength Of that body: they are backed 10y
the entire moral force of the city and State,
who will stand by them in n conflict until
the work of regeneration is effected.

EVENTS OF YEsTEEDAY.-THE VIGILANCE COM
MIrTEE
1t was said that the Executive Commttcc
were in session yesterday, but what matters
were under consideration, rumor did not
even intimate. There was but little outside
demonstration there, as only Il small guard
was necessary to protect the rooms and mu-
nitions of war
We are told the Committee have the GUS
tody Of two criminals at present, bat upon
what charge VIC could not learn, or who the
parties were Time will develop the truth
Of all these rpmors.
UNWORTHY MEMBERS.
We are informed that certain persons not
Of the Committee, are engaged in hunting
up the antecedents Of some OF the members
of the Committee, who have been rather ac-
tive, and who may not be able to show a
very clear record Of their past lives. We'll,
we do not see any objection to this, aud if
rogues can be found in the Committee, we
want to see them pointed out, and marked.
A membership there should not screen a
guilty man. and it is quite likely that some
bad men have joined the Committee, and
done so to divert suspicion from themselves.
THE BODY OF CASEY.
The members of Crescent Engine Com
pany No. 10, received and dressed for the
grave the body Of Casey yesterday afternoon,
after which it was exposed at the Engine
House to the view of all those who desired
to see the corpse A large number Of per-
sons visited the place during the day, to see
the last of a man who has attracted so much
attention Of late.
The house Of the Company was hung in
mourning tokens both out and inside, and
the Catholic custom was observed Of keep
ing lighted candles about the deceased.
The preparations for the grave were got
up without regard to expense. A superb
mahogany coffin richly lined with white satin
and silver mounted encoses the remains of
the ll-fated man. The Company Of which
he was a member appear to esteem him
highly and are none the less devoted to him,
and mindful of his memory for the mislor-
tune that has befalen him. We understand
that he will be buried to-day at the Mission
Catholic burying ground.
THE BODY OF CORA.
The remains of Charles Cora were taken
to the house of his widow, where equally eX-
tensiye preparation were made for the burial
of the body His funeral will also take
place to-day.
