The police made every effort for his rescue, but without iivail. The poor wrctclt seems to have been so hardened

Even while the fittnl noose was being prepared, he continued to smoke it cigar, for which he hitd called, and throughout seemed less concerned ttt his condition than were those at whose hands he sulfered the severe penalty of his crimes. The Vigilance Committee who tried the culprit and avowed their responsibility for the come uenccs, was composed of uhout one hundred individuals, many ol whotti tire among tlto first citizens of Sun Francisco. Among those who figured on the occasion, were Col. Stephenson, Snmuel Brennan Argenti, the banker, and others whose nrtmcs are ftrmiliur to readers ofthe California prtpets. A coroner‘s inquest was held on the body of Jenkins, when the jurv rendered the following business:-— '

It is a truth too obvious to require the aid of argument to convince any who pttys the least attention to the matter, that n dtflcrent lttte of policy must be adopted by ussociutiortsof men, b whutevernatne they may be known, wheths_r neitons, statute or co noise, when _the countries they respectively inhabit, materially differ in situation. soil and advantages.

And this it is, that constitutes one of the chief potttts of dtll_'er_cnce between this Island and every other portion of America. It is to no worse situation, it may be said, with respect to the adjacent conti- nent, llllln Ireland is to England; ifthe Irish Clinnnel were unmarri- gable for six rnontlts out of the twelve, there might be some srullcl between the cases.
