10 Martin Gallagher, one of the victims of
the San Francisco Vigilance Committee, has
recovered three thousand dollars damages from
Capt. Smith, of the barque Yankee, for de-
porting him to the Sandwich Islands, under a
decree of Punishment issued by the Commit
tee. We believe this award to be both legal
and just; and there are doubles scores of 9TH
ers who have good claim for heavy DANA
ges for being deprived of their liberty. Doubt
less part, and possibly all, of those who were
banished, deserved punishment of some kind
but it should have been inflicted in accordance
with law, and by the properly constituted au-
thorities. We know it is argued that those in
office were corrupt and winked at crime but
this does not excuse the Vigilance Committee
for their high-handed conduct If they had
the power, by virtue of numbers, to take the
execution of the law into their own hands,
they were certainly sufficiently numerous and
powerful to effect legal and peaceful reform
through the ballot box. We did not at the
time, nor do we now, find any valid excuse for
the lawless and revolutionary conduct of the
San Francisco Vigilance Committee. The
precedent is full of danger to Republican in
situations. The law of mobs is not found in
statutes or constitutions.

ARsoS-We learn from the Fall River
Beacon, that on Tuesday night, the house of
Mr. James, Bodge, captain of the night watch,
near the end of North Pond, was set on fire
by some rufiians. Capt. BODICE was on duty
as usual, and his family, consisting of wife
and four small children, the eldest Of which is
ten, and the youngest few months old, and
his mother, about eighty years of age were
all sound asleep at the time. Mrs. b. was
awakened by n movement of one of the chill
dren, and smelling smoke went to the door.
when she discovered the whole side of the
house in flames. She alarmed the neighbors,
and the fire was extinguished before it had
made much progress On examination II was
found that rags had been saturated with some
inflammable liquid and used in setting the fire,
and that some Of the same fluid had been pour.
ed upon the building.
1t is supposed that Capt. Dodge, in the dis
charge of his duty, has offended some depraved
villain, who resorted to this diabolical attempt
to obtain revenge.

Does Nor BELIEVE IN A PERSONAL Dew.
IL.-Rev. DR.. Bushnell, the distinguished or
thodox divine of Hartford, in his recent work
entitled Mature and the Supernatural" makes
use of the following language:
Satan, or the Devil, taken in the singular,
is not the name of any particular person, nei-
Their is it personation merely of temptation,
or lmpersonal evil, but the name is one taken
up by imagination to designate, or embody in
conception the mind can most easily WELD,
the all, or total, of bad minds and powers"
The number of persons whose belief coin
cldes with the Doctors on this point, is con-
stantly increasing

THE WASHINGTON TABLEAUx.-Mr. Greenwood,
the manager and proprietor of the Bunyan Tableaux,
lately exhibited at the Horticultural Hall, will pre-
sent another equally beautiful and instructive tab
leaux to our citizens commencing Thursday
evening next illustrative of the principal in
the American Revolution. 1t is spoken of in the
highest terms praise by those who have it, as
containing many gems of art. The Newark Daily
News says:
sit is well worth visit, both from the merit of
the paintings and the events which they depict. A
lecture, descriptive and explanatory, by the mana
ger greatly enhances the value of the exhibition.
And the amount of knowledge, historical, biograph-
ical, and illustrative, will amply repay the listener
ON the part of the speaker. When we add that this
mirror is under the same management and was paint
ed from designs by the same artists as the Bunyan
Tableaux which delighted our citizens for the last
two weeks, the injunction is hardly necessary, Co.
