Z. NICE PREAcHER.-The Sacramento U9ttoh,
of Aug. 10Th, thus pays its respects to the Rev
j. E. Benton, a noted preacher Of California,
who was for several years stationed in fSaera
1nento: =
1t seems he is dividing his time in preaching
and in uttering vulgar 1ibels-- It is character
istic of him. While residing in Sacramento
county he was distinguished for being a low
and dirty politician, at the beck and call of ev
cry corruptonist who wished to use his brazen
face and ribald tongue for, the .furtheraDcee of
petty schemes and fraudulent tricks He has
had an itching to connect himself with the
press in this county, but his short experience
III that line has been more profitable to himself
than advantageous to the journal which suffer-
ed his infliction. His last experience was in
reporting prize fight, but his style was SO far
below the usual literature of the ring that ann
ateurs in the art were disguised, and prayed
that all further efforts of the reverend gentle
man in that line might be intetmitted., a,-a

VIGILANTEEIsM.-Th Montana Post Aug
18th has the following among its Helena items:
1t is said that negro man named Miller living on
one of the back streets, attempted to commit a rape
on little white girl, about nine years of age. We
understand the Vigilance Committed took the matter
under consultation but concluded to- turn the affair
over to the civil authorities. hfa3& ~
Had the offender been awhile man, or had
a white man been charged with much lighter
Misunderstanding a horse, for tinstance--therel
is little doubt but the Vigilantes would have
hung him instanter. Vigilantes are nearly al
ways the basest of Radicals. aaetr4 .un4T |
