The defunct carcass Of the Vigilance
Committee is likely to make statesmen Of
many members of our Legislature, who were
too prudent to mention the subject when it
was in the strength of its existence. Prom.
inent among those who we're afraid to spurn
the monster in the Democratic State Con-
vention, was the courageous author of the
bill now under consideration by the Legisla-
ture. 1t was impolitic to introduce the SUBJ
ject into Convention, but is an excellent
thing for demagogues to make buncombe
speeches over in tho Assembly However
much we may like the bill itself. we cannot
refrain from expressing our disgust of a
Democrat who can advocate when in power,
measure that he deems it impolitic to
grapple with when asking the confidence and
support of the people, and declaring his
principles and his belief. Believing that
the Vigilance Committee was at war with
our free institutions, the principles of the
Democratic party, and a disgrace to the
government, we have voted in the two last
State Conventions for the Democracy to
condemn the thing upon principle, and fear
lessly meet the issue. We we're in q woful
minority. Such Democrats as the author OF
this bill, in the Convention of 1856, refused
to declare in favor of habeas corpus and the
right of trial by jury Think of that, you
expediency Democrats. Had you been
members of the convention at Runnemede
the Magma Charta might have slumbered
until doomsday. They would have taken
office and supported King John What O

ents, and introduced the bill with their

Pulling the Plug Out.

General Allen, of the Marysvilie .Ne,rs,
is, notwithstanding his soldierlike bearing,
and the title which so well graces his name,
an ardent lover of peace in fact, he well
merits the name of the Great Pacifcator"
Of the California press, But the General
does love good joke, and never likes joking
30 well as when he stakes hand'' in the
game himself. Now, in the Generals spirit
of peace, he has tried to hush the contro-
versy which has grown out of Kansas mat
tiers, and has oft-times urged the Democratic
press to "dry up" about the grand national
question at iseue-has talked Of the need Of
a strictly "California Democratic party
has cried peace, peace" and has, in his
fatherly way, taken the State Journal un.
der his shelterng arms and drawn it away
out of the fierce strife, and patting its back
lovingly, has told it to be a good boy. and
keep away from the "noise and confusion"
and it has done So Well, this was kind,
and honest too, in the General. He meant
~ I'LL INC tune, lie ulun want 10 see
squabbling in the ranks; and as far as the
Journal was concerned, he accomplished his
object He kept it out of the fight, and so
far, conquered u peace" To be sure, the
Journal would now and then talk about
''factionsts" and want to fight, just little,
but soon 1t became docile under the Gener.
ais teachings.
But what has the General "been and
done" now Why. after coaxing the Jour.
nal into his boat, and getting away out on
the sea Of milk and water, he pulls the plug
right out of the skiff and tells the Jouraa
to founder about and get back to land or t
first principles" as best it can He act
ually entices his victim out of sight of land
and then pitches it overheard and what il
still worse, he perches himself up on a DRY
place, and pointing his big finger at tn,
poor creature, calls the whole troupe Q
"fac.ionists" together to laugh at the fui
he has made. lie has done this deed il

show anybody who will read yesterdays is

ATTEMPT AT HIGHWAY RoBBERY.--O Our
old friend DR.. Smith Of Chico, told us last
evening. that while he was going toward
Dogtown few nights since, he was stopped
on the road by three footpads, oae of whom
held his horse while the two others advanced
toward him with an evident intention of rob-
bling him. Seeing that his chances were
very slim to make successful resistance,
he pulled his knife from his pocket. cut the
bride, and clapping spurs to his horse.
scampered away from his assailants. lie
made very narrow escape from robbery,
perhaps from personal violence.

ROBBERS AT FoRKNER's RANcH.-On

money, and valuable mule, saddle and bril-
die. The theief rode tho animal away, Blu,
was doubtless thrown off its back, for it was
found with the saddle on the following morn
ing in the woods a few miles from the ranch
The mule, though valuable one. is of vi
cious temper, and is quite too fractions for a
safe riding ANIMAL Its viciousness proved
to be q good trait in this instance, for had it
been more easily ridden, its owner would
doubtless have lost il entirely.
