How One San Francisco Paper

20 more ably conducted, prosperous. or
popular journal published in California

enjoyed the confidence and respect q and
classes Of the community and no one
doubted that it vas destined to retain it's
high position for an almost un United
period. The vigilance committee was
formed in San Francisco in 1856. 1t
originated III the indignation of the peo>
pie 70 the assassination of theI editor of
the Bulletin as he was leaving bis Office
in broad daylight by a miserable man,
xho had been cruelty and persistenly dst
sailed in his personol relations. BY tie
editor of the Bulietip, 1t was proposed
to take the life Of the culprit' without the
forms OF law and the BuNetia passiouately
advocated this coursc. TIE Herd,d'its
sisted that law aud order should be main-
tanned, and that the established courts
shonld be allowed to deal with the as
sassin. rhe vigilance committee would
not listen to this counsel. Its executive
committee met and resolved that all
patronage should be withdrawn from the
offending journal. In few hours the
Herald lost all its advertisers and sub-
scribers and in short time ceased 10 exist
