Terry Not Indicted.

A letter from California says the
Grand Jury of San Francisco County
has adjourned without presenting any
bill of indictment against Judge Terry
for killing Senator Broderick in a duel,
some doubts existing as to whether that
body could legally indict for an offence
committed after they had been already
impanneled. The case accordingly
goes over until the next Grand Jury
meets. This exhibits high degree Of
prudence truly, 1t would no doubt
been very distasteful to Judge Terry,
to have been indicted then, and in case
the proceeding was found to be illegal
been re-indicted by the next Jury.
The same letter says, ''The Grand
Jury indicted David d. Gasser, former
ly of New York, for misdemeanor in
selling lottery tickets. A vigorous effort
will be made to convict him of the of
fence"
SO the vigorous efforts" Of Califor
MIA officers are mainly devoted to pun
ishing lottery ticket vendors, while ne
risks are taken in bringing alleged muir
derers to justice.

An Inexhaustible Mines

The democratic papers have struck
vein. of political capital" which
promises to yield them constant occu-
patton. The entrance to it is through
"Old Browns Carpet Bag" and right
handily do they use it. Out of it they
can take letters from prominent Re-
publicans all over the country, rank
with treason and rebellion with the
same facility that a magician produces
hens eggs from his screen bag" This
old carpet bag is truly a windfall to
their deeaying hopes. 1t proves all
the doughty champions of slavery sus-
pected Of the vile reasonable Black
Republicans and Abolitionists, and a
great deal more! Indeed it has now
feared it will prove vastly too much,
and thus the desired end be defeated.
We really hope what they do prove
from it will be satisfactory to them, for
there is not shade of fear that any
body else will ever believe a word OF
them. A fair specimen of the results
of this wonderful discovery is seen in
the case of Mr.. Giddings. l was tcle-
graphed far and wide that one of the
conspirators wrote that "our old friend
J. r. G. has contributed $780," A
re-persual of the letter and the facts in
the case have dwindled this tremen-
duous discovery down to this point
Giddings once attended a meeting
where one of the Browns spoke in re.
gard to Kansas affairs. In closing up
he invited friends to donate something
towards his expenses, when Mr.. Gid
dings handed him So 90. But the fire.
eaters just overlooked the space OF
point between the figure three and the
cyphers, and read it $500. They might
just as well have added couple moro
cyphers while they were ABOUT it, the
story would have been believed Just a.
soon. We suggest to the " Wise mer
of Virginia" that they be little saving
of that old "Carpet Bag" as they ma.
need few Unreasonable letters to car
ry them safely through the next Presi
dental contest. Do be prudent, gen
tlemen.

The Difference.

When Kansas was invaded by horde
after horde of Missouri shareholders,
horse thieves, cut threats and all kinds
of ruffians. who murdered the people
in cold blood, violated the women, pill
LACED and burned the property of peace
tul citizens, drove them from the polls
at the point of the bayonet, elected
themselves officers of the Territory and
committed all sorts of violence, the
whole doughface press of our country
approved their murderous villany.
When Brown with score of fanatics
attempted to excite n servile insurrec-
ton in Virginia, though he had COM
mitted none of those atrocities which
marked every step the Border Ruffians
made in Kansas, the entire Republican
press of the Union denounced the act
in the most decided terms. This is the
difference between honest men and un-
scrupulous demagogues. The slave
Democracy defend violence and blood
shed when committed by their own
party. The Republicans condemn eve
ry violation of law by whomsoever
committed.

A GREAT BLUNDER.-It is generally
held that if Old John Brown hadn't
weakened his forces by sending de-
tachment of troops, three men) north,
to conquer the capitol that he would
have succeeded in his enterprise. If
nineteen men can conquer the armory
and take a town of some three thou
sand inhabitants prisoners, there is no
telling what twenty-five men would
have done. 1t took three artillery COM
panies, one company of marines and
one thousand Virginia militia guarding
the rear) to expel the army of nineteen,
and if there had only been few more
the chivalry would all been captured.

The Election in Chicago.

We learn from the Press d Tribune,
that the election for town and county
officers passed off very quietly in that
city on Tuesday. About one-half the
usual vote was polled. The Republi-
can majority on. the County ticket,
though much smaller than it would
have been had full vote been cast, is
large enough for all practical purposes,
and demonstrates that Republicanism,
now as ever, is invincible in Chicago.
The return from the Country Towns
will largely increase the Republican
majority.

sYThe dastardly ATTEMPTS of som

The dastardly attempts of some
of the Hunker papers in this section to
fasten the responsibility of the Harper's
Ferry insurrectian upon the Republi-
can party meets with just and merited
rebukes from the press at the South.
The Richmond Enquirer has been es-
,pecially bold in denouncing it.
1t says, that, "the attempt to charge
the policy of Brown upon any political
party, is the sheerest nonsense" We
would commend this paper to the notice
of some of our contemporaries, assur-
ing them that, even bad cause gains
nothing by such mean and villainous
conduct as characterizes them.

Lynch Law Administered by Virginia
courts.

Lynch Law Administered by Virginia
Courts.
The so-called trial of John Brown at
Charleston, Virginia, on an endictment
charging him with treason, melting
Slaves to revolt and murder, the CON-
mencement of which was noticed in
our last issue, has been concluded.
Like the previous proceedings before
the examining Court, the whole action
of the prosecution and the Court dur
ing the entire trial, was but lawless
and shameless enforcement of pro-
slavery Lynch Law with scarcely any
regard to even the forms of civilized
Jurisprudence. Even the provisions Of
the National and of every state con-
stitution, purporting to secure to every
person arraigned on charge of crime,
the assistance of counsel and the testi-
mony of witnesses for his defence, were
grossly and ihdecent1y violated. -
The officials, having him in custody,
had robbed him of all his money, a
quantity Of gold coin sufficient to have
enabled him to fee counsel and defray
all the other expenses of trial; taken
it and probably divided it amongst
themselves, leaving him not single
dime. He was during the whole pro-
ceedings in the two Courts, so disabled
and ill from his recent and severe sabre,
bullet and bayonet wounds in his head
and body, as to be compelled to lie
upon a cot-bed in the Court room, and
listen AS we'll as deafness from the
wounds in his head would allow, to
the testimony and speeches against
him, without the means to procure any
rebutting or extenuating testimony or
counsel in whom he could confide to
reply to the arguments and denuncia-
tons of the prosecuting attorneys.
The Court promptly and pcremptori-
ly refused all applications for time to
enable him to make prep ,rations for
his defence, and to SO far recover from
his wounds as to be in condition to
attend to such preparations. With
such shameful action by the Court, the
Jury of course, convicted him by a
general verdict, Of all three of the of.
fences charged in the indictment that
is to say, convicted him of three dis.
tinct and widely differing offences a,
once; conviction and verdict as every
lawyer knows, grossly illegal and in
deccntly in violation of the first prin
ciples of criminal jurisprudence.
Of course also, the Court ovcrrule6
motion in arrest of Judgment on this
Lynch Law verdict, and sentenced Mr.
Brown to be hanged early in Decem
Der. Well, after such moekery of :
trial and such verdict let them hang
if they dare. His death accomplished
by such proceedings, will be foulel
murder than any he is charged witt
having committed as their mockerie
of public justice in his case, involving
the crimes of perjuring under thei
oaths as judges, jurors and executive
officers, have already branded then
with deeper disgrace than that which
Gov. Wise admitted, had been brough
upon the State by the cowarlice which
permitted Brown and his seventeen
white men and FIVE negroes to conque
and hold possession for nearly tw,
days, of Harper's Ferry and leagues o
of the adjacent country. Q.

Massachusetts, Republican, Wiscon-
san Repu6licon.-Am Encouraging
look from Neso York.
So far as We have returns this morn
ing, says the Chicago Press Dc Tribune,
of yesterday, from the State elections
yesterday, they indicate the triumph of
Republicanism.
Massachusetts, rolls up her usual Re-
publican majority.
The returns from, Wisconsin show
considerable Republican gains, and
there can scarcely be doubt of the
success of the entire Republican State
Ticket by handsome majority. In
Milwaukee, where the Democracy ex-
pected large gain upon the majority
for Cross in 1857, they lose twenty-five
votes.
From New York our returns are ex.
ceedingly meagre, comprising only a
portion of the city. 1t was expected
that the Democratic candidates who
are on the Utica ticket would go out
/ of the city with at least 10000 MAORI
ty. Instead Of this they will probably
mot reach as high as 10000. We think
the State has gone Republican.
We have nothing definite from Kan
sas which voted yesterday for Terrific
rial Delegates to Congress, and nothing
from the Sixth Congressional Distric
in Illinois.

Supposed Loss of the Royal Charter and

MONTREAL, Nov. THE following
item of news is taken from
the Liverpool Daily Post of the 9th
of Oct, a copy of which ives obtained
by the steamer North Ametica:
The public will learn with over
whelming grief that the splendid YES
sci, the Royal Charter, was totally lost
Yesterday, in Mufa Red Bay, near
Bangor. The melancholy intelligence
which reached here last night was
brief, but we fear was only to true; OF
400 persons who were on board, only
10 are said to have been saved. There
is some hope, however, that this state
ment is exaggerated, but under the cir
cumstances the loss of life, it is to be
feared, is immense. alels
