bAShAhENTO, Slafcn 5tu'
During the latter part Of the past week,
the Assembly we're for the most part Of the
time engaged in debate Of San Francisco
Funding bill The great bone of contention
was. to whom the power of funding the debt
should be given. The delegation from that
city are desirOus of having part Of the board
composed of men of their political creed, to
which the assembly assented. 1t may be all
fair, but in my opinion had they the majori-
ty. no democrat would ever hold an office Ell
ther of trust or profit. The best proof is the
disposition Of the official patronage Of San
Francisco Office holders, no one unless allied
with the two woprogressive parties of that place
has the shadow of a position

tion the credit of being the most astute and

San Francisco Times publishes a statement
of shipments Of gold from California during
the months Of January, February and
March, 1857 and 1868. The statement goes to
show that in the former year $5.60l 1868 ,53
were shipped. and that in the latter, the
sum of Ss9sO,7S2,s4 was carried away du.
ring tho months referred to. Thus it will

PHONETIC CoNvENTIoN.-The friends
of Phonetic reform in Wisconsin, meet in
convention at Portage City on the I'd
and Sd of August, for the purpose Of
forming an Association to disseminate
Phonetic principles and introduce Pho
netic books into families and schools.
There is no doubt but the Phonetic form
of writing our language would enable
children and foreigners to master it more
readily, yet still we are not advocates for
Phonetic reform. We object to it because
it would destroy many of the links by
which we are able to trace the derivation
of words and so detract from their per-
spicuity and beauty.
We also object to it as mere matter
of taste. The grand and royal thoughts
to which our language has given express
sion-the poem which has charmed us
with its inspiring melody and beauty, the
story which has subdued and saddened
us with its pathos, would all we believe
lose something of their attraction, if clio
thed in the close fitting garment of Pho
netic principles. We are readers rather
than takers, and we deem it more essen
tial that Il word be Geographic than pho
netic.

Respectfully yours,

We had no intention Of misrepresent-
ing the sentiments advanced from the
pulpit, and if we have done so, we are
happy to allow it to be heard in defence.
The mistake seems to be in the COZ struc-
ton we put on the term g Vigilance Com
mttec." We are aware that "a Vigil
lance Commute does not necessarily i'm
ply violence or unlawful actions" but we
are also aware that the popular and
accepted use Of the term does imply just
such actions. AS proof we cite the Vigi-
lance Committee of San Francisco, which
took the law into their own hands, held
the authorities in contempt, made arrests,
and executed criminals; also the Vigilance
Committee of New Orleans, which but a
few weeks ago took possession of that
city and defed the government; also the
Vigilance Committee Of Tampa, Florida,
which recently hung four men without
any process of law. In late number of
the ST. Paul Times, now before us, the
editor urges the formation Of Vigilance
Committee. What for? For watch
fulness against dangerw The fact of
danger is alarmingly evident. The city
officers fail to perform their duty, and
the object of the Vigilance Committee is
to take the law into their own hands, and
administer it in an informal manner.
Our correspondent himself uses the
term in the same sense that we do. He
says: 'But after all, if there be no other
protection which is sufficient, let us have
q Vigilance Committee" Well. We have
the protection of the law, and if this
counsel means anything, it must mean
that we resort to something beyond the
law-something violent and illegal. Such
action, at times, may be justifiable and
necessary, but we do not think there is,
at present, any call to discuss the propri-
ETY. of a Vigilance Committee in this place.
We have no wish to misrepresent the
pulpit, and fail to see how we have done
50. When it counsels Vigilance Com
mittee, we understand it to counsel violent
and unlawful action; and if it counsels
such committee, only in certain con-
tingency, which it does not believe to ex-
ist now, or will exist hereafter, then it
appears to us the pulpit is needlessly
wasting its force.-ED. Jour.
