"THE JuRY SYSTEM" &c.-The last number
Of the San Jusa Star has between three and four
columns Of correspondence from the learned
AK. Y. d." one Of whose communications We
have already referred TO. The writer expati-
atss at length upon the jury system, As connect
ed with the case Of Henry Plumsr and the
Nevada papers, and the County Judge come in
for share of his indignation. We believe
there never has been question. but that the
grand jury which found the indictment, and the
petit Jury before whom Plumer was tried,
we're properly summoned. If there was any il
legality in summoning these juries, the defend
ant's counsel have not taken advantage Of the
fact, from which we conclude that the original
orders were legal On the empanneling Of the
grand jury, however, the Court of Sessions re-
fused to allow the defendant to question the ju-
rors as to whether they had formed any opin-
ion that would disqualify them from acting as
such. This is one point on which the appeal is
based, and which is believed to be fatal to the
indictment The Jurors who tried the indiet-
ment were sworn on their voir dire, and each
stated that he had neither formed nor express
ed an opinion a. to the guilt or innocence Of
the accused. After the trial was over, mo-
ton was made for new trial, on the ground
that several of the jurors had expressed an
opinien that the defendant was guilty, and it
was proven that three Of them had expressed
opinions To that effect. The foreman of the ju-
ry il seems had made the subject a principal
topic Of conversation, from the time he first
heard Of the affair until be was summoned as
juror in the case. The District Judge Overruled
the motion for new trial. intimating at the
time that the indictment would be set aside by
the Supreme Court. Judge Caswell, as a men,
Der Of the Court of Sessions, may have decided
wrong, but II new trial should be granted on
the ground that some Of the trial jurors were
disqualified 1t is not his fault
The writer, in speaking OF the editor. OF the
DEMooRAT, says: "He is bound down neck and
heels to party, sAd It is incumbent upon him to
parry every thrust made ct any member Of his
party, whether right or wrong, or in default
thereof, lose bis bread and butter" more
deliberate, wiful and malicious falschood than
the above was never penned, and we believe
the writer was aware Of the fact. We defy him
to point out . single instance where we ever
defended a political friend, unless We had good
reason to believe he had been uajustly assailcd
Neither are we dependent for "bread and but
ter" upon the public crib.

The Late John l.. buchanan.

The following preamble and resolutions were
adopted by the members OF Brooklyn Lodge,
No. 4G. |. o. o. f., at meeting held at their
Hall at Red Dog, Feb. G, 1858, on receipt OF he
news Of the death of John l.. BuchauaD, for
merly member of that Lodge:
WHEREAS, 1t has pleased Divine Providence
to remove from our fellowship our late worthy
brother, John l.. Buchanan, with whom every
member of Brooklyn Lodge has long been fa-
milsr, aud who but few short weeks since
withdrew from this Lodge in the full vigor of
manhood and IN good health, for the purpose Of
reuniting, after an absence OF several years
with the friends Of his youth, aud early asseci-
ations, conscious OF having filled the full mea-
sure of an honest man. Being conscientious in
all his dealings, generous in principle, his hand
was ever open to his fellow mau; therefore be it
Resolved. That We have heard with unfeigned
regret of the loss of esteemed friend and BROTH
er. John l.. Buchanan. while on board the i'll
fated steamer Central America. on his way TO
the Atlantic States, in September last.
Resolved, That we tender our sincere sympa-
thies to the afflicted friends of our departed
brother, and as 4 mark of respect to his memo
ry will wear the usual badge of mourning, and
that this hall he also dressed ia mourning, for
thirty days.
Resolved, That brother V. NJ. Wakeman be au-
thOrized to transmit copy Of these resolutions
to the friends of our late brother J. i. Buchau-
an, in the Atlantic States.

MURDER AND LYHcHING IN AUBURN.--A shook.
tsrnoOn. Mr.. Barney Murphy and negre
named Aaron Bracy had some difficulty about
piece Of land which Murphy had purchased Of
Braoy some time ago. Murphy was walking in
the vicinity of the grsund and discovered Braey
preparing to fence portion Of it in. As near
a. can bo gathered from the statements of MUIR
ply, he demonstrated with Brscy, ia terms not
at all severe. In turning to leave, Bracy rails
ed pick and struck Murphy on the back part
Of the head, inflicting horrible wound. The
point Of the pick passed through the skull, and
penetrated some two or three inches into the
brain. Bracy, Immediately after the occurrence
went to Auburn, gave himself into the charge
Of the officers, and accompanied them to the
spot where Murphy was struggling on the
ground. He still retained bis reason, although
no hopes we're entertained Of his recovery
Bracy was Immediately lodged in Jail About
three o'clock the next morning, an infuriated
mob Of over hundred persons went to the Jail,
overpowered the Sheriff and his deputies, broke
open the Jail, took Bracy about mile from
town, and hung him to the limb of pine tree.
The rope was fastened around his neck 90 that
the knot came In front, and after hanging about
minute, he wal. able to speak, and said: Lord
God, gentlemen, l can't die this way" He
was then lowered, the knot placed under his
ear. when he Was run up again, and soon stran-
glsd.
This outrage seems to have been one Of the
most diabolical ever perpetrated in the State.
The conduct Of the parties, while on their way
to the fatal spot; their insulting jeers towards
the victim, shows that they were actuated by
the spirit Of friends. The negro had given him
self up to the legal authorities, and nothing
was known as to the particulars of the sffray
except his own version, and the incoherent ex-
pressions Of Murphy. Bracy may have been
guilty Of o foul assassination, but he had right
to trial by jury Of impartial men. The fire.
qusucy Of such outragss demonstrates the ne
csssity Of some more stringent law than any we
have in our statutes to prevent their rscur-
renee.

Col. W. A. RICHARDsoN.-About the time Col
Richardson was appointed Governor of Nebras-
ks, statement was made in some New York
paper, that he differed with Senator Douglas
upon the Kansas question, and sustained the
expedicncy views Of the President. The state
mept, with proper additions, has been reiters-
ed by the S. F. Globe, aud other California pa
pers. Knowing that Douglas and Richardson
had for over twenty years been intimate per-
sonal friends; that they were the leading advo.
Gates Of the Kansas-Nebraska bill in the two
branches Of Congress, we we're led to doubt the
truth Of the assertion, though We had no author
i.y for denying II. The last steamer, however
brings intelligence Of the passage Of resolutions
BY the Territorial Legislature Of Nebraska, en-.
dersing the position Of Senator Douglas. The
resolutions refer to Col. Richardson as agreeing
with Mr.. Douglas in his construction Of the Kan
sss-Nsbraska act They were passed on the
29th Of December. a. which time COL Richard
son was in the Territory, and had entered upon
the discharge Of the duties Of his eflcs. And of
course would not have passed, ia the shape
they did, had 1t not been BY his consent. It
thss seems that President Buchanan can regard
. naa % g COED Democrat, aad consider him
qualified for responsible sfhes, HOtwithstand-
Ing he may sustain Ssastsr DsuglAs On the
Kansas question.

A DARK AFFAIR.-One day last week, a man
named Joe Smith and his partner, got into diff
fculty with six or seven darkies, near Blue Tent,
about some mining claims, and fight ensued
Smith was likely to get the better of two Of his
antagonists with whom he was fighting, when a
third darkie came to the assistance of his friends
giving Smith butt in the ribs which knocked
him seuselsss. As soon as he began to exhibit
signs of returning consciousness. the niger
gave him another butt, little lower down,
which again Knocked him into a state Of non
eOmpos mettis, in which condition Smith very
prudently determined to remain until the wool
ley-headed hombres left that locality. Smiths
hands aud fingers we're badly bitten, and he
states that his partner was more severely han
died than himself, having retained bis senses
during the entire fight.

DEATH OF AN ExILE-Abont the first of Jan
nary, Col. Lehmanowski. the illustrious Pole
who served under Napoleon during the times
Of the Republic and the Empire. died near
Hamburg, Clark county, Ind. aged lightweight
years. He was among the first to rally to the
standard Of the Little Corporal. and never be-
trayed his trust or bis master, from the siege
of Toulon to the final overthrow and exile
For his devotedness, he suffered imprisonment
in the loathsome dungeons of Paris. and at last
exile. He was buried with Masonic donors. and
while he lived could boast of being one Of the
officers that Initiated the great Nepoleon into
the mysteries of that ancient and honorable or

AcouITTAL OF DR.. BArEs.-Thc trial Of DR..
Bates, on the indictment for failing to pay over
to his successor moneys in his hands, belonging
to the State, was tried in the Court Of Sessions
Of Placer county, last week, and resulted in hs
sequittal by the jury. II was not denied that
. dsfalcatiOn had occurred in the Office Of the
State Treasurer, but II was contended that
Bates was ignorant Of the fact. and that he
could not be held responsible, criminally, for
ths actloH Of his clerks. There ere two more
iadictmsuts against Bates, for permitting 3. A.
Rowe to use the money belonging to the State.
which have been set for trial Hsxt week.

OFFICIAL TYRANNY.-The Grass Valley Tsle-
yysph, Of the 18th inst, re-publishes and endors-
es the communication of &C." In regard to
"official tyranny" &C., to which we referred two
weeks ago. The editor threa.sns that If certain
Sheriff's sales are not published In his paper in
future, that the matter will be carried to the
polls at the next county election, and decided it
there without reference to party. The over
whelming influence of the editor Of the Telegraph
In election matters, is too well known to need
comment, and tho Sheriff will doubtless take
due notice Of the terrible threat which has ct
length been promulgated. We must say, how
ever, that the conductor Of the Grass Valley
papar is not very CONSTANT A few years ago,
lished in his paper, Notwithstanding large
proportion of the property sold was situated in
Nevada township, where two papers were then
published. 1t Is somewhat strange that the
that the rights and interests of the people Of
Nevada were being trided with, by the course
which the then Sheriff saw proper to pursue.
Had he thought of this matter then, he would
doubtless have refused q portion OF the adver-
aisements sent to him. His ideas of what is
right appear to be bounded by self-iuterest; al
slough we de- not wish to be understood as
intimating that he is governed in bis present
course by pecuniary considerations He is
man OF too much character for that. His in
tellect is probably Of that peculiar character
which becomes ciouded by prosperity. and sharp
ened by adversely, as he can now see that the
rights aud interests of his section are triAed with
when he formerly prOfited by the same kind Of
trifiing with the rights and interests of another
section. Had the Telegraph man practically ap-
piled the golden rule to his own case--"do unto
others as you would have others do unto you''-
he might have avoided falling into grsss in
consistency.

MELANCHOLY AccIDENT.--On Tuesday morn.
ing, 10th inst, son of Mr.. Allen, who lives .
few miles from this place, was accidently shat
by his uncle. His uncle had got out Of m.
wagon in which they had been riding to shoe.
at some ducks, leaving the boy seated in n.
wagon. The gun missed fire, and while the
uncle was recapping it, laying it across his arm
for the purpose, it fired, lodging the whole
charge of duck-shot in the boys breast. caus.
ing death in few hours. He was fourteen
years Of age. This melancholy casualty should
prove warning to those who handle firearms
carelessly y.-MdTiposa Democrat.
