yesterdays issue of the REGISTER no par.
ticular reference was made to the killing
of Geo. S. Wilson by Wm. III. Pierce, on
Friday morning. Our reasons for not do
ing so were mainly, that the people were
| apparently greatly excited and the ap-
p~earances indicated a resort to a viola
ton of the statute laws, and by the publ
cation of an article c%ensuring the act and
urging mob law, would have been very
unwisc and impolitic for the good of our
town. We are now free to say, however,
tina from the evidence produced at the
C%oroner's examination, that the killing
was SO void of justification and especial
iy in taking the life OF an invalid, and
one of we'll known genera good behavior,
that Mr.. Pierce deserves punishment to
the extreme limit ofthe law in such cases
made and provided. We are constitu-
tionally opposed to the violation of law
and order, only in very extreme cases, as
every good citizen should be. We wish it
distinctly understood that We are not in
favor of shielding any man-high or low
from the EXTREMIST punishment, by
law, for taking the life of another, and
when this case is brought before the
Courts for examination we have full con-
fidence that the offender will receive his
just deserts. Life and property demand
protection from the law and its eXecutorS
THE PRIMARY ELECTION.-The Repub-
lican primary election, yesterday, fur
a good deal of sport to the Demo-
Gratis and those caring but little which
ticket succeeded. Even many Republic

polls. The words ''hireling,- stool" ETC.,
were freely INDUCED in, but SO far as came
under'our observation, everything of the
sort passed of as though such lingo was
part and parcel of the proceedings. A
different sort of behavior was observed at
our primary election-each voters opin-
being duly respected and fully recog-
nized. h writer was sadly provoked,
after a walk of considerable distance to |
.he polls in search of something to write
about, and after all discovered that the
election had destroyed all other
usually to be had, and furnished
hone itself. Considering there was so
excitement aiken in the contest,
