When, oh sagacous Jom7aal did you ar
rive at that sage conclusion2 Three weeks
since you did your utmost to iniure the
standing of this paper among Democrats, de-
claring it hetrodox to tolerate Vigiantism

William Gilley, miner living
on Bear River, about twelve miles from Au-
burn, committed suicide on the night of
Friday, the 5th inst, by cutting his throat.
Some three years ago Gilley was accused of
killing a neighbor of his, bnt was exculpated
on the preliminary examination. Since that
event he has been much addicted to drink
ing, seemed to have lost all energy, and
lived in the most abject wretchedness. An
inquest was held upon the case by Justice
Houston, and the jury returned verdict in
accordance with the facts.
There were forty rifles belonging to the
State, destroyed in the recent conhagration
at Iowa Hill. This is unfortunate, and par
ticularly so because the Placer Rifles have
been for the last six months soliciting arms
Of that description from the State authorities.
