Model California Officials.
A correspondent of the New York
Times, writing from San Francisco,
draws the following picture of the char
acters who held high official station
there, previous to the action of the Vig
ilance Committee. This will give our
readers some idea of the necessity of the
Vigilance Association:
Who are our Supreme Judges?—
Hugh C. Murray, who was elected last
year for a term of six years, had a ma
jority of a few hundred votes, falling
some four thousand below his ticket.—
Ned McGowan" under indictment as
accessary to the murder of Mr. King,
pulled the wires from him in this city.—
Judge Murray is known in every part of
the State as a frequenter of brothels and
gambling houses. lie has been known
•to win SIB,OOO in a single night at a
gambling table, and then to lose the
'whole of it at faro the next day. The
papers, since they have dared to speak,
charge that he is often seen drunk in
the public streets, and sometimes on the
bench. A few weeks since ho made a
murderous assault upon a merchant in
Sacramento who had merely expressed
an opinion of the Judge’s unfitness for
his high and responsible station, was
convicted of the crime in the Court of
•Sessions, and fined only SSO.
Judge Terry, his associate on the Su
preme Bench, not long since attacked
a witness in often Court, at Stockton,
with abowieknife; and, but for prompt
interference on the part of the specta
tors, would have been a murderer in
•fact as he was in intent. 1 believe he was
fined one dollar for the offence!
Our present Mayor, Van Ness, is open
ly charged with having negotiated a
bribe of SO,OOO for Judge Murray, to
in 'uce him to decide the case of Peter
Smit vs. the City of San Fraud sec,
in favor of the plaintiff, and then with
pocketing the cash instead of paying it
over to the Judge.
David Seanuel was promoted front
the, keeper of the Osceola gambling
house, owned by Casey, to the tesjtousi
ble trust of High Sheriff. One day a
capper inveigled a miner from the
mountains into Scannel’s den, where he
was solicited to stake his bag of gold
dust u|K>ri three card monte, or some
other swindling game. A gentleman
who had watched the motions of the
fraternity, was assaulted by one of the
Sheriff’s underlings because he quietly
warned the young man against the theft
sought to be practiced upon him.
The United States Marshall for the
Northern District, whom President
Pierce appointed to office, was a profes
sional gambler—and when he heard of
Mr. King’s assassination, a respectable
gentleman says tliat he heard him ex
claim : I)—n my heart ! —-I’ll give Casey
a thousand dollars !”
.1. M. Bagiev, who lias been ordered
out of the State by the Vigilance Com
mittee, for his many crimes, was an in
fluential member of the Legislature;
and is besides, noted for his murderous
affray with Casey eigh'eeu months since,
on a dispute about ballot stuffing be
tween them. ♦
The Vigilance Committee in their in
vestigation into the case of Thomas B.
Cunningham, elicited satisfactory evi
-denoe that he was in the habit, while
connected with the office of Coroner of
the county, of disinterring the bodies of
persons who had been buried, for the
purpose of dropping them in tl»c docks,
and thus receiving the fees attending an
inquest. In this way, it is said, one
body has been made to do service three
or four limes, or ns long as it would hold
■ together.
Sam White, who shot the police offi
cer last week in Sacramento, was a gen
teel kid-glove gambler, and came near
‘ being elected, two years since, to the
Legislature. Sam was the financial
agent of Belle Cora in the late Cora
trial and a principal witness for the de
fence. The question was asked him by
the Court: “ What is your business ?”
He answered : “I am Copywriter Clerk
in the Hall of Records.” “ When did
you get your appointment ?” “In Oc
tober last.” “Do you spend your whole
time there?” “ I don’t know.” “Have
you spent two months?” “ Don’t think
I have.” “Have you spent twenty
days?” “Don’t think I have.” “Have
you spent two days?” “Don’t think I
■have.” “Have you copied twenty pages
there!” “Don’t think I have.” “Have
you copied two pages there ?” 1 Don’t
think I have.” “ j)id you ever write
your name there?” “Yes, I receipted
for ray pay.” “Do you draw your pay
regularly ?” “ Yes, I dp.”
During the last seven years, fourteen
hundred murders, it is said have been
perpetrated in and about San Francisco,
and the city itself has been burned
down seven times.
Now, suppose one of this class does
get into the State Prison. Let us see
how lie is punished there. Some seven
or eight months since, Bodman N.
Backus, a gambler and a rowdy, with
si! n*ai>is#if §iiiii ¥i§ii#a*
out the least provocation, at the com
mand of a French woman, his mistress,
shot a poor German apothecary dead.
Backus, by some hocus pocus, was only
tried for manslaughter. He . was con
victed, but laughed at the idea of being
sent to the State Prison, in accordance
with the law.
His counsel, on some pre arranged
flaw in the indictment, had made a mo
tiou to set aside tile verdict. lie was
awaiting the decision in the county jail
at the time it was besieged by the Vigi
lance Committee, but was so fearful that
ho would meet the fate he so richly de
served at the hands of the people, that
he begged his counsel to withdraw the
motion from the Supreme Court, and
get an order for his immediate transfer
to the State Prison. Would you believe
it?—through the influence of his gamb
ling friends, Backus has been made
Chief Clerk of the prison, a situation
hundreds of honest men might covet;
and instead of working in a clay-pit in
parti-colored suit, sits at the officer’s
dinner table in a black coat and fine lin
en, hob-nobs glasses with Gen. Estell,
chief of the establishment, and, no doubt>
plays draw-poker with him after the
shades of night have closed about the
State's hotel at San Quentin.
The fact is, the administration of the
law, was almost, itself, in the hands of
these miscreants, and they were backed
up by an organized despotism, which
could not be successfully assailed in any
other way than that the Vigilance Com
mittee have been driven to adopt. They
know no party. They were whigs, dem
ocrats and know nothings—just as eith
er party might be in the ascendant.
Things in Now York.
The New York Courier and Enquirer
contains an able editorial article on the
Vigilance Committee of San Francisco,
which closes with this language:
“ However tins deplorable condition
of San Francisco terminates, the lesson
must no: be lost upon New York. Our
city is in a similar degree cursed with
characters who neither fear God nor re
gard man. The assassinations, ami mur
ders, and assaults, and bughuies, and rob
beries, which are every day and night oc
curing as our pi lice reports testify, and
the flagrant frauds which are practiced at
every popular election, admonish us that
wo have the same identical class in our
midst that at last drove the people of
San Francisco to such desperation. Our
ministers of the law, 100, have been lax.
Crime of the most aggravated type daily
e-cn; e• and t etion and punishment. This
is a matter of indignant complaint among
all respectable people. Tile feeling lias
become general that our executive offi
cers, our police, our prosecuting attorneys,
an 1 our justices, are shamefully delin
quent in the discharge of their- duly;
and thus all (lie regular machinery of
justice is sinking into discredit. Such
a loss of confidence is in itself a great
public calamity. It mint be arrested,
or its ultimate result will be fearful. To
preach the duty of obedience to law
amounts to nothing, unless the adminis
trators of I lie law are true to it. To
moralise tlie people upon the duty of
letting tlie law take its own course, when
those who’have the law in charge faith
lessly and wickedly hinder its taking its
course is not a very gracious or fruitful
task. Sav what you may, self-protection
is the great law of nature, and society in
extremity will protect itself—if not by
legal means, then by illegal. We hate
Vigilance Committees, but we hate yet
worse the official treachery which alone
can make a Vigilance Committee possi
ble in this free land. Truly has it been
written, ‘ neglect to treat your declared
scoundrel as scoundrel—this is the last
consummation of the process, the drop
by which the cup runs over; the penal
ties of this, most alarming,extensive, and
such as you little dream of will straight
way very rapidly come.’ ”

Dr. McLane’s Vermifuge.
Prepared by Fleming Bros, of Pittsburgh.
&T* During a practice of more than twenty
years, Dr. McLaue had attended innumerable pa
tients afflicted with every form of worm disease,
and was induced to apply all the energies of his
mind to the discovery of a vermifuge, or worm
destroyer, certain in its effects; the result of his
labors is the American Worm Specific, now be
fore the public, prepared by Fleming Bros, of
•Pittsburgh, which is perfectly safe, and may be
given alike to children of the most tender age, or
to the aged adult; it purges mildly and subdues
fever, and destroys worms with invariable success.
It is easy of administration, and as it does not
contain mercury in any form whatever, no restric
tions are necessary with regard to drinking cold
water, nor is it capable of doing the least injury
to the tenderest infant. An incredible numberof
worms have been expelled by this great A ermi
fuge.
' p&T Purchasers will be careful to ask for DR.
M'LANE’S CELEBRATED VERMIFUGE,
manufactured by FLEMING BROS, of Pitts
burg, Pa. All, other Vermifuges in compari
son are worthless. Dr. M’Lane’s genuine Ver
fuge, also his celebrated Liver Pills, can now* be
had at all respectable drug stores. None genu
ine without the signature of

Perht Davis—Sir: —The benefits I hare re
ceived from the use of your invaluable remedv,
the Pain Killer, induces me to pen a word of
praise for it. Experience has convinced me that

or any other part of the system, Severe

the Pain ICdler. I have this hour recovered from
a severe attack of the Sick Headache, by. using
two teaspooufuls, taken at thirty minutes’ interval
in a wine glass full of hot water. lam coufideut
that, through the blessing of God, it saved me
from the cholera during the summer of 1849.
Travelling, amid heat, dust, toil, change of diet
and constant exposure to an infected atmosphere,
my system was daily predisposed to dysentery
attacks, aceompauicd with pain, for which the
Pain Killer was a sovereign remedy, one teaspoon
ful curing the worst case in an hour, or at most
has a day' I have heard many cases the country
over of Dysentery being cured by its use. Put
in the teeth, it would stop the toothache. Grati
tude, ami a desire for its general use, has drawn
trom me this unsolicited testimonial in its favor.

A Word for the Little Ones.
jJ3F° The comfort and health of their
children is the legitimate source of much anxiety
to those parents who wish to perform faithfully
their duties to their offspring, and yet this very
anxiety prompts them often to seek the aid of
medical men, {who of course must give something
to the child to gratify the parent,) while, in nine
cases out of ten, all that the child requires is a
gentle and skilful friction, so as to arouse to ac
tion the “minute superficial vessels so apt to
become torpid in infancy;” for this reason the
most experienced nurses and physicians have
never ceased, since its great virtues were uni
versally known and acknowledged, to recom
mend the “Bairn of Thousand Flowers,”
creates great elasticity and strength of limb,
general health of body, and beauty of complex
ion: all which is remarkably apparent in those
children who have been judiciously subjected to
the benign and sanitary influence of the “ Balm.*

just been fitted up m elegant style, with
entire new Furniture, would respectfully inform
the Public that they have at length completed

They lmve made every effort to arrange it in
such a manner as to render their guests com
fortable. And having had a long experience,
they do not intend to be excelled by any land
lord.
The Furniture, as well as the house, is perfect

Those acquainted with the topography of
Georgia, know that within her limits exist some
of the most sublime and n igniticent works of
Nature, and Stone Mountai Justly ranks as one
of the number.
Southerners who wish to spend their summers
at the South, instead of going North, will find
the climate bracing, and the water pure as the
purest. The climate is not surpassed;
The Proprietors flatter themselves that those
who call once, will be well-enough satisfied to
call again.
