A Murderer Turned Loose.

After a sham trial at the end of de-
lay of nearly two years. Judge Terry,
the murderer of Senator Broderick, OF
California, has been turned loose among
the citizens of that State. He was to be
tried in Marin county, some distance from
San Francisco. Our account states that
the circumstances were such "as leave no
doubt Of collusion between the prose-
cution and the defence to produce such q
result. The witnesses establishing the
guilt OF Terry were all on their way from
San Francisco to Marin in a small boat.
They were delayed so that they did not
reach the Court House until about twelve
o'clock. Judge Hardy opened the Court
at 9, m. The District Attorney an
nounced that his witnesses had not made
their appearance. The case went to the
jury without a word of testimony, and
under the charge of Judge Hardy, YER.
dict of acquittal was rendered before 10
o'clock"
1t is evident from these outrageous pro-
ceedings that the government officials had
determined that Terry should not in any
event be punished for the foul crime in
which he was involved.

The Fruitful Earth.

The Harrisburg Telegraph" says =
We do not remember season that prom
ised more abuntly "the kindly fruits Of
the earth than the present. In this To-
cality, though rains have been far from
abundant, almost every product is pleDti-
full. Apple trees are loaded with healthy
fruit; pears glisten on plant bOughs; corn
is luxriant with dark green, leaves and
silkeu tasseled cobs; cabbages and cauli
flowers, and tomatoes, and squashes, and
melons, and cucumbers, and the later
peas and potatoes, are everywhere plen-
tiful and healthy, and there will be no
lack of those luxuries and blessings which
the garden and field supply. To all parts
of our favored country the crops are a..
bundant and the promise is rich of peace
and plenty.

The Campaign in California.

The Republicans of California have en-.
tered upon the canvass with spirit that
augurs success in November next. On
the 21st ult. they held their State Con-
sention, and nominated an excellent elec-
toral ticket. consisting Of Charles a.
Wasbburn, Wm. H. Weeks, Charles A
Tuttle and Antonio Maria Piso. The
Convention was we'll attended, and from
all parts of the State the delegates brought
us encouraging reports. 1t was conceded
on all hands that Lincoln would poll a
larger vote in the State than any other
candidate that could have been named
by the Chicago Convention, The De,
ID ocrscy are everywhere divided, and
quarrelipg among themselves. The "ir'
repressible conflict" has entered their
ranks, and the struggle between the fac
tions is bit,erer, if possible, than before
the murder of the gallant Broderick.-
The Republicans are organizing then
selves into compact body, with cofden
expectation of carrying the State.

The Treaty with Japan.

This interesting document has been
published. Its provisions were very gen
orally known before the publication.-
They may be briefly restated. Five
ports of j pan are opened to foreign trade,
in which Americans may reside, lease
ground and erect buildings. In 1862
Yeddo is to be opened also, but only for
purposes of trade, and Osca in 1863
For these purposes houses may be hired
in those cities. Foreigners may take ex-
cursioDs, not exceeding ten "ri" "a ri
is somewhst less than two miles and q
half from three of the free cities. A.
mericans shall be entitled to the free ex-
ercise Of their religion. The President
of the United States is declared to be
the umpire or mediator in any differen-
ces that may arise between japan and
foreign powers The importation OF OPT
uu is prohibited. We cannot refrain
from expressing our admiration Of the a.
bility displayed by Mr.. Townsend Harris,
in the negotiations which led to it, and
the framing of the treaty itself The
matter was necessarily beset with great
difficulties; such difficulties, in fact, a.
probably no other man than Mr.. Harris
could have overcome, he having not only
a peculiarly correct knowledge of the peo-
pie with whom be was treating, but expe-
rience in treaty making under very simi-
lar circumstances. The provision that
constitutes the President of the United
States the referee on the part of japan
in any difficulty she may have with for
eign powers we regard as one of the most
signal triumphs yet achieved in diploma
cy. The moral weight which it gives to
this country in the Orient can scarcely
be overestmated.
