rbe Press ON Senator BrodericIs's Death.
From the Sacramento Union :

From the Sacramento Union
ITO vindicate honor it is not always necessary
N kill as was illustrated in the duel between
q CLAW and Randolph. Terry was the challenger,
and throwing away his fire would have settled
. the matter instantly, because it would then have
n placed Broderick in position where he could
have honOrably retracted the offensive language.
Il was not necessary for David S. Terry to shoot
Mr.. Broderick in order to establish his claim to
the reputation of being brave man. Those who
know him have never heard his personal courage
eoubted. The inference, therefore, is that he
permitted his feelings of revenge to overbalanee
all other considerations"
From the San Francisco Herald
"No man in California had more devoted
friends, and as a party leader he was without an
equal in the State. The man who could attach
to him so many thousands of our citizens in ar
dent and unsetish devotion, must have been pos
sessed of qualities of no eoGlmon order. We do
not yield to any of his friends in heartfelt regret
for his untlmey deeease in the very beginning of
career so brilliant as that which dawned upon
dia two years since and how much soever we
may have differed in our political views that
cannot prevent us paying simple tribute of JUS
tice to his memory. May he have everlasting
rest"
From the San Francisco Morning Gail:
We cannot withhold our severest anmadger-
sion upon the conduct of the chief Justice o! the
Supreme Court of California, in descending from
the tribunal of justice, openly to violate the laws
he has sworn to support, and to outrage the NOR
al sentiment of our community. The whole trans
action is foul blot upon the escutcheOn of OuE
State, and one by no means calculated to vindi-
cate us in the estimation of those abroad who
have manifested an avidity to seZe upon any
thing derogatory to the standing of one of the
youngest sisters of the National Confederation"
From the Nevada Journal:
at is no character of a noble spirit to desire
blood from foe who wishes peace on honorable
terms And noble as we are disposed to recog-
nize some of Judge Terry traits of character to
be, we cannot now, on more thorough view of
the causes at issue between him and Mr. Broder
ick, hut attribute the course he has seen fit to
pursue to the eoadngs of blood thirsty political
and personal enemies of Mr.. Broderick 10y whom
Judge Terry has been surrounded"
From the San Francisco Times
lie planted in his soul grand ambition a
hope to figure on history's page as true man,
one who stood by the right, and spurned position
and power, if attained at the sacrifice of prnci
pie in many respects he was a great man, and
fT as iirRness of purpose, steadiness OF pur-
suit, and an undertaking courage that bears up
against all odds contribute to the making up of
great man, he was probably without peer in
ihe United States"
From the Marysvie Express
sit is well known that we differed wildly from
Mr.. Broderick on political questions. That we
were opposed to him in politics, and were his
political enemy, if you please we do not deny
But towards him, personally, we had nought but
the anles' feelings. He had his faults, as other
nen haNe hut want of candor or frankness was
lot one of them. He was devoted to his friends,
whilst he was uncOmpromisng to his enemies
From the San Francisco Alta Gaitforaia:
"Pcople of California. let this serve you as a
lesson. Think as you follow Abe remains Of this
murd, red man to their last resting place that it
is the bloody code, the base, bluckening, dam
ming and c0tcd,dlg code, which you have tacitly
Sustained and tolerated in year midst. that las
brought about this great public calamity, for a
public calamity it is. as this community may yet
learn to its sorrow"
From the San Francisco Teisgram.
"Throughout the land the habilimentsof Of mour-
ming the outward tokens of woe-have been
.dOnned, because - our Senator has fallen ; lNa-
cause the voice or him who has represented and
should represent us, in the councils of the nation,
has been silenced because the form which stood
proudly forward in the defence Of right has been
laid low iu the dust"
From the San Francisco National:
Z" In common with every intelligent and Chris
tan man, we regret the sndden and violent death
II.
OF life, full of hopes and aspirations for the fu-
ture, his unexpected dccease teaches sad lesson
of the vanity of earthly schemes, calculations
and joys. The event has cast gloom over the
community"
From the Marysville Gemocrat
"The blood that stains this shroud runs now
in no mans veine or woman's AS Logan's, so
with Broderck's blood. No father lives 40 mourn
him-no mother. Sister, brother, has be none in
the world-no living relative upon the face of
the earth. Bury, sheSefore, yoar hates in his
grave, and slander him no more"
From the Nevada Democrat:
1--WE hage nGt the heart at present to comment
upon the causes which led to his untimely fate.
No man could have been taken off whose death
would have been so sincerely and universally la
mented and his name will live, and his memory
be cherished in the hearts of thousands, long af-
xer his traducers and murderers have sunk into
.pbscurity."
From the Butte Democrat:
deeply do we regret that Mr.. Brodcrick has
fallen as he has Against him, as an Individual,
we have never had aught to say. 1t was as a
politician that we opposed him. When he and
his supporters were so overwhelmingly defeated
at the late election. we were more than pleased,
and fully satisfied"
Z From the Red Bluff Beacon
"Mr. Broderick fell-he fell regretted-he fell
on the spot of his own choice, before a weapon
of his own selection, and by the law of his own
approval and we cannot censure one more than
the other"
How IT WAS RECEIyED.-The Union says that
when Broderck's death was announced in Sacra-
mento the bells of the various engine honses and
churches we're tolled, flags were displayed at half
staff on the engine houses hotels, the Pavilion,
shipping, etc.. aud as general thing citizens ir
respective OF political preferences, expressed
unteigned regret at his untmely decease. 1t was
the spontaneous response of the heart of the peo-
pie to the last aspiration of the deceased The
people defend his honor
