BUNcoMBE-The time of the Assembly
has been largely occupied for the past week,
ostensbly in discussing the provisions of Mr..
Lees Bill, for the suppression of mobs, in
surrections etc, but in reality in reviewing
the acts of the Vigilance Committee and in
resurrecting the unpleasant "reminiscences
connected Herewith. There seems to be
an anxiety on the part Of members to set
themselves right on the record, either for or
against Vigilantism, which savors more of
buncombe than any other quality. If Lees
bill is necessity, why not pass it without
rakng up the unfortunate acts of the past,
and engendering Few hatreds over subject
that has caused sufficient heart burning al
ready9 But If the laws at present upon our
statutes, are strang enough, if enforced, to
suppress n1obs and Instructions why not
lay this nes.-egg of discord down, and 60
on with the necessary legislation of the
session.
If this wide and useless discussion could
obliterate the acts of the Vigilance Commit
tee, and remove the vivid and bitter recollec-
tions connected herewith, there would be
reason for its continuance; as good would
be accomplished. But from the impossibiity
of this being obtained, the less said the better.
We would suggest that, when an insurrec-
ton is so strong that neither the civil or
military power of State can subdue it, the
most stringent laws will fail in being carried
into effect.

hurst, Roberts, and Bearss, to San Francisco,
in the early part of the week, to await their

yet known.
At the same time, Francisco Acosta, who
was sentenced for ten years, was taken to

RErlRED.-Wash. Wright, Esq. for eigh-
teen month past the editor in-chef of the
Sacramento 41ge has left the tripod and re
tired to private life. We regret that Mr.. w.
should so soon retire from a field in which
he has succeeded so WELL Under his editor
ship the .4ge has been one of the most in
teresting and spirited papers in the State
and to us one of our most welcome eychang-
es. Mr. W. as a graceful, and versatile wr-
ter, has no superior among the editorial
corps of the State. His retirement is loss
to be regretted by the reading public Of Cal
ifornia.

Es- Mr.. Curtis has given notice 70 bill
in the House for establishing the boundary
lines by survey, between Placer and Sutter
and Sacramento counties. Action Of the
kind is required, as from the present uncer-
tainty Of boundaries between the counties
above named, Placer is believed to lose a
large amount Of taxes annually.

FRAcAs.-A difficulty occurred between
two Mexicans at Forest Hill on Monday
night last, over game at cards, when they
agreed to 90 out and settle it with revolvers,
The night being very dark they were unable
to see each other, and commenced shooting
at random, one of the party finally received
shot in his elbow. and the matter was drop
ped. No great injury done, and would net
have been done if both had caught bullet.

ARRAY in Contra Costa.

A correspondent of the .Alm gives tho
following particulars of a desperate affair
that transpred on Monday near Oak
land. 1t seems that a man by the name Of
Parker and wife, (hey having two children.)
were in partnership with person named,
Smith, in ranch, and all living together,
Smith made proposition to Parker to take
the wife, Gncuding the little responsibilities
solely to himse'f, to all Of which Parker
agreed, provided the woman had no objcc-
tions; she readily consented. Parker step.
ped into an adjoining room, went to table
or drawer and the woman on hearing the
noise said, ''Snith, lie is getting a pis ol,"
and before either Of the party could get to
the door, Parker had it open and fired shot
which passed just over and grazing the shoe
on the woman's foot Smith rushed at Par
ker and a struggle ensued for the weapon,
and in the tussle the pistol was again dischar
ged, but hurting no one. Smith succeeded
in getting hold of the weapon, and was only
prevented from killing Parker on the spot
by the interference of the woman. Smith,
however beat him terribly over the head.
Parker lies in a critical condition, but hopes
are entertained of his recovery.

The next statement shows the expenses Of the depart
during the year given above for compensation to
postmers and incidental expenses Of post Offices There
is vet to be added this side of the account the expense
of transportation which in 1857 amounted to aggre
gate of So 5a6 l52 &c. and it will hardly fall under that
sum during 1858 This statement exhibits Of
expenditures in 1858 over 1851 every State and Ter
rtory except Rhode Island Connecticut, California, and
Utah and the aggregate increase during the latter year
is shown to be s64 G54 49, overbaancng the increase of
receipts by s3s 9Ts 55.
In 1851 the expenses of the Post Office Department
exceeded the revenue derived from the postal service by
s2sI45T4 A. without including the foreign mails on
either side of the account During 1893 the probabiii
ties are that larger deficit will be exhibited The second
statement referred to above is follows:
