Pirate Frecutions.-Oneo of the best

that to abolish public executions. We

rejoice that the peoples representatives
have at last realized the pernicious ct

providing for private execution takes eff

FRIDAY MORNING. MAY 7th, 1858.
BRoDERIcK' SPEECH. The speech

BRoDERIcK SPEEcH. The speech
Of California's youngest Senator is
before us. We have never been per-
sonal admirer of David c.. Broderick
but we like bis speech. We like it
more for the position it takes than the
peculiar manner and matter of it,
though we do not affect to despise either
Of the latter We like the speech be-
cause it ennunciates the same opinions
that we have held onthe policy Of abro-
eating the Missouri Compromise, and the
same views we promulgated against the
Presidents recommendations for Kansas.
We took position alone on the Presi-
dents Message. While every other
newspaper in the State had nothing but
laudatory phrases for the message or
was silent, the Journal boldly showed
np the miserable pettifogging of Bu-
chanan on the subject of Kansas, 1t
was not till after another steamer had
brought intelligence of the unequivocal
position assumed by Douglas, that the
press of this State came fatfooted to
denounce the Kansas part of Buchanan S
message, and to proclaim it pregnant
with iniquity. The course we took in
the outset found lukewarm supporters in
this State. The press committed itself
here too early, in praising the MESA ge
as great statesman like and national
document. A Prentice was not here to
convict it of violence to Lindley Murray,
and Douglas was wanting among the
Democracy TO lay bare the wrongs it
sought to inhict on free people. The
efforts we made to stir up a feeling of
antagonism to the administration were
Of not sufficient avail. The people
waited to hear the key note Of leader
before they sounded Some Of our CO.
temporaries made arrangements not to
iihc our IclIdl hS Oh inc NdISdS part OF
the message.
But, while all this mutual admiration
was going on in California, Broderick
felt gritty at Washington and said So
He had a mind and expressed it boldly
and fearlessly. He said early that
when the Lecompton Constitution came
up for ratification by Congress he should
have something to say. He has re-
deemed his promise. The speech vim
dicates free labor, the rights Of the peo-
pie of Kansas to form their own consti-
tuition, sets forth the true doctrine of
popular sovereignty in liberal quota
rions from Webster, and plteously te-
slows few closing remarks on the i'm
becility of James Buchanan.
Broderick stock is on the rise. Gwin
is left, very ancient fossil, while BroG-
erick is living, resurgent and full of life
and promise to the people, for he has
cspoused their cause, and without an
effort he has put himself on tie popular
track

THE BANK OF ENGLAND AND THE

! THE BANK OF ENGLAND AND THE
LATE CAUSE.-THE lessons of the late
crisis will not be entirely lost. The
Bank of England has just adopted an
arrangement, which was demonstrated
on that occasion to be essential for the
future safety of the banking transactions
of the country Henceforth no discount
will be granted to the bill-brokers. If
those houses choose to receive money at
a call to an unlimited extent, they must
| themselves bear the responsibility of
being at all times prepared to meet the
engagements into which they may enter.
They will no longer wave the power of
encoura ging redundant manufacture of
paper, relying on their immediate abili-
ty, in times of sudden pressure, to throw
the onus of any difficulty on the Bank
of ENGLAND, and rendered confident as
to their ultimate position by the endorse
ments of joint-stock banks, and the con-
sequent unlimited commitment Of a null
titude of infatuated shareholders 1t is
plain the practice of the Bank IF Eng
land in rediscounting for the hili-brokers
was just as inherently vicious as that IF
the bill-brokers rediscounting for the
joint-stock banks. 1t is true the Bank
of England has always exercised much
greater vigilance with regard to the
character of any paper brought to them
than was thought necessary by the es-
Establishments in question, but that makes
no difference as regards the principles
at stake. and no one can doubt that if
the promoters of the late crisis had
known from the first that resort TO the
Bank of England to cover the conse-
quence of their own want of prudence
had been impossible, the commercial de-
linquences fostered through so many
years would never have been encoun-
tered. In relation also, to advances on
bills, an equally proper and stringent
course is to be adopted. Hitherto it has
been common not only to discount for
the money lenders bills not having more !
than three months to run, but also to |
make advances for fortnight or shorter
periods on bills maturing any time within |
six months. Tire one is to be discounted |
as well as the other.-L London Times.

Frazier River Gold Fields.

We extract the following information
concerning the newly discovered gold
fields on our northwestern frontier from
the Pioneer and Democrat of April 10Th
a paper published at Olympia, Wash
ington Territory
There is a large emf migration to the
mines from Washington and Oregon Ter
ritories. The report of a3party that had
returned to Bellingham Bay direct from
the mines for the purpose cf procuring
tools and goods for trade, was that gold
was plenty and the Indians friendly,
A report was in circulation that the
Hudsons Bay Company intended to
place steamer on Frazier's River, to
form blockade against American ira
ding vessels furnishing supplies for the
mineTs-thus securing for British trading
points the exclusive furnishing and for
warding monopoly. This report, how
ever, does not seem to be believed i'm
plicitly.
A road meeting had been held at
Whatcom, Bellingham Bay, to open a
land communication through American
territory to the mines, instead of being
dependent on Frazier River and at the
caprice of British authorities. Five hun
dred dollars had been subscribed for the
Road and strong party of men put at
work upon it. 1t was expected that
pack enimals could pass the road about
the first of May. Pack animals are
scarce, and of course dear. The road
shortens the distance greatly. By COM
putation the land route from Belingham
Bay to the mines is only about ninety
miles, while the water route is near two
hundred
A considerable quantity of gold from
the mines has found its way to the set
Elements for the purchase of supplies.
Specimens of coarse gold have been ex-
hibited to the editor of the Pioneer ard
Democrat, weighing from ten cents to
one dollar. Almost every Indian on
Frazier's River is represented to have
from one to six inches of dust in his purse.
The gold is said to be easily obtainable
A general stampede seems to have
taken place among the hands employed
in the lumber mills and the sailors in
Washington Territory.
The Pioneer. and Democrat of the
week following the number from which
we extract the above, speaks of the
mines as not yet fixed in value or extent
to perfect certainty.
Several Nevadans we understand are
on their way to the newly discovered
gold fields, and it would be well to await
their report before getting the yellow
fever badly.
CITY ELECrIoN.-The most quiet
election we have ever seen was the one

But five hundred and sixty-four votes

John O'Brien was riding with the
driver on the other stage and was un

was complied with. The foremost stage
was so near tie other that the fall of the
box on the ground was distinctly heart

REPORTED MURDER OF JOE. CHAM
BERs. A report is prevalent of the
murder of old Joe Chambers and Bishop
Goodrich, somewhere in the lower part
of the State, by greasers. The story
needs confirmation. In our exchanges
from the southern counties we have
found nothing which would give color
to the report, and the newspapers would
be likely to contain such news and
transmit it as quickly as it could come
otherwise. An item of the kind would
quite likely be copied into the city
papers. But nothing of the sort has
met our eye. We are inclined to think
the story hoax. Chambers and Good
rich left for the lower country some time
