LAWLNIIINISS IN CALIPJIIIL.A correspondent writes as follows from den ffrandeme, under date of April 18:—The determined opposition in every part of this State to coolie or Chinese labour ev., a scarcely understood by the public generally until lately. The deliberate murder of four Chloe men, the wounding of other., and the attempt to destroy the property of those who emsloyed the obnoxious ram, at length aroused the anger of the people of Chico, where these acts were perpetrated, sisil eight d the guilty parties were arrested and brought to triaL By the voluntary oodessions of some of these met, it is ascertained that a 'egret organisation existed under the name of Labourers' 12faioe or Order of llaucasiva, which had for its object the merrier of white men and Minim, and the destruction of their property The members of this society had their signs and passwords, and wee bound together by the following terrible oath :—" I some before God Almighty that I will carry out and obey all the orders of the Council of Nine, whatever they may be. If Ido not do BO my life is forfeited and may aunty be taken, and I may be put to death by this Conseil of Nine." Acting ender instructions from this source, six men proceeded at night to the cabin of some Ohinamen, whose only fault was having been employed in field work at sernewbet lower rates of wages than were winded to white men. Four of these they, allot and left the othen for dead, after which Uzi attempted to destroy the place by fire. Three of the principal criminals and leaders of the gang, who gave evidence implicating othe:s, were discharged by the juiy for very insufficient reasons ; the rest were e ther indicted for murder or arson, and, probably, will escape with a very inadequate punishment. The country generally feels the humiliation of such a perversion of justice, and the publics begin to feel the necessity for the adoption of severer matinees for the restriction of outrages on the Chinese.  An old lady, who wee noted for being rath.r "near," had a man into her garden one day cutting Grace for the pig.
