EsgThe old lynching spirit is not dead
yet. The latest exhibition of it was at
Columbia. John Leary, while in the
discharge of his duty as Constable, en-
deavoring to arrest two men whom he
had detected in the act of robbery, was
shot by them and very soon died. Sub
sequently they were arrested, and exam
ined before Justice, who issued an or
der for their commitment. Leary was
an old and much respected citizen, and
his murder, following so closely after that
of one Mcdonald under nearly similar
circumstances, greatly excited the peo-
pie. Several thousands assembled, and
as the Sheriff was about to remove the
prisoners, one of them was taken from
him by the crowd, hurried off and hung,
his body being left swinging to and fro
until the next day.
For this barbarous violation of law
the people of Columbia can offer no ex-
cuse. The one usually alleged, that the
authorities failed to do their duty, can
not be urged by them, as the murderer
was promptly arrested, would have been
brought to trial, and, if found guilty,
executed. We fear this latest instance
of mob violence resulted more from hor-
rible appetite for bloody spectacles than
anything else; but such things will
happeu SO long as lynching under any
circumstances, where law exists, finds
respectable defenders.

B@Last Sunday night the Rev. w.
L. Jones, of Camptonville, preached to
small audience at the Masonic Hall in
this place. The weather was very in
clement, and the streets muddy, so but
few people heard the night preacher.
His sermon was worthy a large audience.
1t illustrated the superiority of thought
full composition in the closet to the in
eoherencies of extemporaneous speaking.
1t also indicated rejecting mind, one
accustomed to shrewd analysis of
character and motives, and gifted with
logical ability. Well turned, antithet-
ical sentences kept the attention alive
while they grati6ed the ear, and the
listener not unfrequently had his mental
gaze fixed upon well drawn word-pic-
ture. Faults of manner and elocution
there might have been, but they were
toned down by a general excellence,
We could not but wish that the clergy
at large were better fitted for the high
mission they have assumed, that they
were indeed qualified for the noble task
Of informing not only the mind but the
heart Were they so,-had they the
courage to break from the shackles of
antique dogmatism and to speak from
their full souls what an immense in
fuence for good they might WELD, and
what troops of hungry spirits would sit
beneath their ministerings

THE PRESS.


There has been some newspaporial
talk lately about the necessity of editors
avoiding personalities, and of giving to
the journals under their control the
high tone which can be obtained only
by ignoring, to a certain extent, the in
dividuality of the editors.
This is all well enough, so far as it
goes; but there is another thing which
the press of this State might do, and
ought to do, for its own elevation and
that of the reading public. 1t should
give less prominence to the details of
crime, and abstain from the common
practice of collecting into one disgusting
melangc all the vicious occurrences of
the week past. We are glad to notice
that some of our contemporaries act in
accordance with this suggestion,
and it is a fact that those who do are
specially devoted to the development
and promotion of the highest interests
of the communities in which they are
published. 1t may be considered i'm
possible for the city papers to pursue
this course, for the reason that the tastes
of metropolitan readers arc so various,
and that there is such large class who
demand Just such details as are here
deprecated. But with the mountain
papers there exists no necessity for re-
failing things discreditable to the State.
The task of compiling and condensing
the criminal records of exchanges must
be repulsive to every man of the least
refinement. One wearies very often of
the apparently useless task of chroni-
cling small occurrences, when he would
rather be uttering lofty thoughts or pro-
posing a bcnefcent undertaking.; and
the task becomes hateful when his pen
is epitomizing robberies, rapes, and
murders. The interior press of our
State has superior opportunity for
usefulness and for originality. 1t can
make, and is making itself the welcome
suggestor of needed reforms and i'm
provements. It has an intelligent au-
dience to address, and is surrounded by
novel circumstances which stimulate
the mind while they give a spice of
freshness to the journal that seizes hold
Of them. The scenery, climate, agri-
cultural and industrial peculiarities,
and the infinite variety of individual
character which characterize our State
all afford themes for newspapers. The
discussion of these, and of the thousand
needs of young communities struggling
towards pernanence, will give the press
of California positive value and make
it "racy of the SOIL" These remarks
are not made with the object in view of
sermonizing others, but because they
are the expression of opinions which
are sincerely entertained and which for
that reason deserve utterance.

CALIFORNIA BENEyoLENCE.-
mining communities of California are
unequalled for the promptness and lib
erality of their charities. 1t never hap
pened yet that any person, whose con-
dition actually required sympathy and
assistance, was denied them on the fact
being known. Some compassionate
neighbor, sometimes even complete
stranger, seeing fellow being in physi-
cal distress, will start subscription, or
apply for aid without it, and before the
object of his kindness is aware of what
is being done for him will have collect
ed sufficient for his immediate comfort,
for his restoration to health, or to ena-
bic him to go home. To such appeals
every mining community cheerfully
responds. No matter how often the
subscription paper passes around, it
always elicits feeling inquiries, kind Of
fers and ungrudged donations of money.
If this mode fails to produce needed
amount, beneficial ball is gotten up,
or some other kind of public amusement,
and large sum is the sure result.
The town in which we live has dis
tinguished itself by its uniform liberali-
ty and promptness in relieving human
suffering. Very often has it contribu-
ted TO a poor mutilated wretch hundreds
Of dollars at time, besides extending
those g little nameless acts of love "
which are sometimes worth more to the
invalid than money. The latest instance
Of its beneyoIence occurred this week.
A worthy, industrious man, who was
considerable while ago dreadfully in
jured by the premature explosion of a
tunnel-blast, and who has been since
taken care of by the Odd Fellows, find
ing himself still far from recovery,
expressed a desire, or his friends ex-
pressed it for him, to visit San Francisco
for change of medical treatment. AL
most Immediately a subscription was
started, and nearly five hundred dollars
r,ised, besides what was contributed by
other places IN this vicinity. Such
deeds are gems in the reputation of any
people, and should go far to remove the
reproach attached to the name of Cali
fornia. Without attempting to conceal
her faults, let US sometimes proudly
challenge attention to her virtues
chief of which is warm, substantial benev-
olence. Without this, there would be
more suffering, more miserable objects,
moro blind and MANNED mendicants with
in the borders of the Golden State, than
in any other in the Union.
