English WOrkingmen.

England has not American COMPETE
ton alone to fear for her commercial
decadence, as is illustrated by story
told by the London correspondent of the
Liverpool Mercury. A buyer of tin
smiths work waited on a manufacturer
with good order, which must be COM
pleted to time. The manufacturer
would not engage to have it ready at the
moment named. He was at once told
that he must take only as much IS he
was certain to finish. Said the master:
Then 1 must consult my men," 1t
was Tuesday. They had not yet re-
turned to work for the week. But most
of them were gathered together in the
neighboring public houses. Manufac-
turer and buyer made a tour in company,
and found the men upon whose good
will the fulfillment of the contract de-
pended. They needed a great deal of
pleading. The master had TO make
many promises. But after they had been
bespught, and persuaded, and bribcd,
they did at length condcsccnd to do the
work that lay in their hands. .

in Mississippi, and the general condition

titled that, according to the best OF his belief,
he would have beaten Col. Muldrow, his
fair count. He had been accused of
endeavoring to organize the negroes
in opposition to the Democrats; had
been Informed of threats to prevent his
speaking, and that he had been hung in efiigy
and then burned. Mr. Garland called the
attention of the witness to his testimony be-

Saved from Judge Lynch.

Charles J. Janson, one Of the old pio-
neer residents of this city, says the San
Francisco Chronicle, died on Monday at
his residence on Valencia Street near
Twenty-second, at the age of So years.
Deceased had been engaged in mercan-
tile pursuits from the time of his arrival
here, in the spring of 1850, and at the
time of his death was proprietor of the
Eureka Salt Works. The death of Mr..
Janson recalls thrilling occurrence in
the early history of the city. involving a
remarkable case Of mistaken identity and
presenting the danger Of dealing sum-
mary vengeance to supposed criminals.
On the evening of the 10Th of February,
1850, two men entered Mr.. Janson's
store on Long Wharf, and, while he was
engaged in supplying their demands,
one of them felled him to the floor with
slung-shot. The ruffians then seized
a box containing 900 in coin, which
they carried to a boat and started to row
across the bay. They were pursued SO
botly that they threw the treasure over
board and made their escape. The day
following a man named Thomas
Burdue, a peddler, was arrested and
identified as James Stuart, one who
had just previously murdered Sheriff
Moore of Auburn, and the prisoner was
also positively identified by Janson as
one of tie men who had attacked and
robbed him. The particular mark of
Identification was the loss of finger
from one hand. There was great ex-
element in the city at the time, caused
by constant crimes of the most atrocious
nature, and although Burdue protested
his innocence, he narrowly escaped be-
ing lynched. The vigilance committee
decided to give the prisoner the benefit
of trial by jury, and Hall McAllister
was appointed to defend him. After
hearing the evidence, the jury stood 9
for conviction and were in doubt.
There was strong effort made to take
the ruling of the majority as verdict
and hang Burdue, but calmer counsels
prevailed. Burdue was then delivered
to the authorities at Marysville and pos
itiyely identified as the murderer of
Sheriff Moore. His life would certainly
have been forfeited had not the real
Stuart been captured in time to save
him. Stuart was convicted and hanged
on the Market Street wharf in 1851.
Janson was FRUSTRATED for long time
from the effects of the blow from the
slung- shot, and some of his friends be-
lieve that he never fully recovered.

added that there Vas no disposition to de;

of few extreme men. Freedom OF
speech and of the press was fully recognized
in Mississippi, and any man could make a
speech there. provided it was not calculated
to create a breach of the peace. He believed
the principal reason the people desired col

A WHOEVER in Lawrence, Kansas,
was engaged to widow, but his love
was so languid that he was in no hurry
to be married. A friend from Ottawa
visited him, fancied the widow, and said
that he would like her for wife. The
widower offered to sell his right to her
for $3.50, and the money was paid, the
widow marrying the Ottawa man and
going home with him. But the widow
er's love was warmed by absence. He
went to Ottawa, courted the woman
anew, and eloped with her. The Ottawa
man has lost his money and his wife,
but says that, having had more than
enough of the latter, he is willing to call
the account square.
