Lynch Law.

A few days since, man named Harrison
Morgan, the murderer of officer John Leary.
of Columbia, Tuolunne county, was taken
from the hands of the authorities by a mob.
and after abrief trial was hanged. Leary.
our readers willremember was shot while at
tempting to arrest Morgan and some other
thieves. On November 3Oth, Pancho Daniel
one of the murderers of Sheriff Barton of Los
Angeles, was taken from the Jail of that town
and hung; the mob meeting with little or no
resistance. These two men most unquestiona-
bly, deserved hanging, but that fact should
have been demonstrated by fair legal trial.
These rash acts of maddened people seem to
be as much in vogue as they were in earlier
days when the courts of justice were too often
but places of refuge for guilty criminals and
the more frequently they occur, the more diff
cult does it become to repress their re-enact-
ment. They should never occur without bring
ing upon their perpetrators the utmost vigor
OF the laws provisions, and we should be glad
to see Governor Weller act with as much en-
ergy and promptness toward these followers Of
the Code of Judge Lynch as | e promised to
do in his inaugural We believe that infinite
ly less harm is done by the escape from punish
ment through the technicalities of law, of
criminals, than is wrought by the setting aside
OF law and the functions of the Judiciary by
infuriated mobs
