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.’ ” Specif polices. 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.

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.
