We have received what purports to he a
series of resolutions adopted by the per
sons claiming to be the rector, wafdens
and yestry of Christ Church at Della
ware City. We have read them carefully
and consider them simply an indecent
attack ON Bishop Lee, of this city, which
we refuse to publish ON the ground that ii
is indecent and abusive. We are quite sur.
prised tn see running through them an
assumption that the people passing them
are greatly superior as thisiidas TO those
OF their own neighborhood opposed 10
them. II this BE- true WE hope
for the sake OF Christianity they will
endeavor tn conceal the fact, for it might
prejudice worldly people who care some
thing for propiiety and decency, against
Christianity itself to know that the
authors OF such resolutions as these were
he simon pure article OF Christians.
Their tone and language suggests that
they are portion OF the church militant
which would by natural preference ARA
itself with chunks and blitkbats.
These people win save themselves
trouble by not addressing any comnani-
cations to STATE JOURNAL. We gave
them full and fair hearing despite tbs
fact that We had the highest respect ioi
the venerable Christian gentleman they
were attacking and nothing but pityinl
contempt for their real leader, Rev. Ken,

was practically, though not formally

THE PENTTENTZARY.

Commissioners hate to let go and the new C0mmi ssioners are anxi, ouS 10 take hold. We don't know what there is ir She business, but, being one of the new Board we hope to find out some day. The old Board has had long pull at the different appropriations, and, unfortunately, il has been a pull all together. Equity suggests that somebody else have chance and, certainly, if this Prison bus mess jogs along in the same groove as hitherto, few of Yu. mas citizens will shortly be l1v- ing in paIatial residences and driving innumerabIe fast horses. The provision contract has been had in the same store since the Prison remem mbrance of Yumaites. and the proprietor had the last addition to said store built by the prisoners Of course the Terri tory was paid for all this work and the WOrkmen received an ex, tra plug of tobacco, hut it is ques- tionable whether or no it is in the interest ofpublic policy that crim inals should be brought into di- rect competition with the honest laborers and mechanics of a com. munity. There are men of fami- lies, ,who could have done all this work and thereby had an extra dress for their wives and more food and schooling for the little ones. By this we are reminded Of Norton's bill for the establish, ment of workshops at the Pene- tentiary. The proposition was to build wagons furniture &c. Chris -Horner, of this place, has the best wagon shop in the Territory. and is prepared to do all needed first class work. The passage of Nor tons bill would have closed out Horner, and yet he is an honest mechanic trying to earn liveIi- hood. He is a miner too, and help miners. De even has inter- ests in Silver District. that fact alone should have saved him with NOrt0ll. Horner don't mine with his mo. uth, however, and there may be objections 10 him for that reason.
 In rega rd 10 the row between the old axId the new Board as to which is Syh ich. we, being inter- ested, do not care to give an opinr ion, furth CT than that the mem bers of the old Boald have had long enough lease. They have kept books, we presume, and it would be juet as we'll if those books were overh:7uled by impar. tial examiners. In the meantime, the vouchers given by either Board will hardly be negotiable, and. If the new Board is deter mined 10 be the careful one, tie evidences of inde ebtedness of the old Board wont buy a mock orange.

PACIFIC COAST LAWIESNESS.

There is something simply appalling in
the license to murder and rob which
seems to have grown up in California
Law has very largely got to be mere
mockery. The only criminal who is in
the slightest degree in danger of being
punished is the humble fellow who steals
something to satisfy the pangs of hunger
ofhimself or family. If the sum stolen
mounts up. to the thousands, there is no
earthly day of punishment. If the crime
ofviolence assumes the gravity of murder,
immunity Of punishment is assured as
matter of course, unless the murdered
man has friends enough to make the
country too hot for his slayer. If things
progress thus much further, 10 sensible
man can doubt but that resolving society
into its original elements, with the sub
stitution Of the rude justice of the vigi-
lantes for trial by jury, woul be far per-
ferable to the present state Ofthings. We
have at length devised fine and high
sounding name for everything. Stealing
is kleptomania. Drunkenness is dipso-
mania Shameless disregard of the mari
tai right is no longer called adultery, but
finds appologists under the euphemistic
title Of nymphomania. Red-handed
murder is homicidal mania or transitory
insanity. And so we, a socalled intelli-
gent and civilized people, masquerade in
our progress towards sheer anarchy. If
there is one thing more than another
which California needs, it is a bracing
up Of her moral tone. There is hardly Il
genuine moral pulsation in our boly
polite We are relaxed and nerveless,
and in a state which more resembles NOR
al syncope than anything else we can
think o.. Nothing could more emphatic
ally il ustrate the little real bel eff there
is in revelation or in the Christian code
of morals than the light thrown upon
our daily life by the record of the so call
