Wo clip tho following from tho Elmlra (N.
Y.) Advertiser of December 2Sth, in reference
to our distinguished fellow citizen now lectur
ing in tho Emptro State. It says:
Col. A. B. Mcacham, of Oregon, who wai in
tlio Moiloo war nud left for dead on tho lava
beds when flcti. Canby and Dr. Thoraaa woro
assassinated, but who survived his seven bul
lets to toll tho etory of tho battle, is to lo in
Klmira this week, to apeak on Indian charac
ter and policy.
Ilravo warrior as the Colonel hni alio, him
sulf, ho is nn advocate of tho pence policy and
as eloquent a ji'.cailer for the indianj aa he was
nn cftcctivo nlllcer in tlio campaign againnt
them. A christian man, he bohovea moro in
the (h)npol than the sword and pleads for justico
in their behalf. lie holds to tho doctrine of
Bishop Whipple, whom ho exec's as an orator,
eloquent as the Uishop h. Wendell Phillips
says of him, "Never before havo wo had just
such a witness on the stand; graphic and thiil
ling to tho last degree, his appeals stir the
heart liko a clarion.
Tho ilochestcr Democrat says that "Colonel
Mcaolmm addressed full 2,000 persons in Dr.
Shaw's church, and a liner specimen of oratory
is seldom heard. It was a wonderfully enter
taining lecture."
Tho Albany Argus speaks of tho address "to
tho largo audience at the Assembly Chamber as

Tlio othor day a little short, heavy set man,
with a bob-tailed coat nnd a plug hat that had
dono Bervice for several years, catno into onr
oflico and began to tell us reminiscences of tho
trip across tho plains in tho spring of '49. Fi
nally ho eaid, "You know Spencer, don't yon t"
Of course wo did. (In parenthesis we will just
remark that this snmo Spencer is at present
running tho Stanislaus News, in California.)
"Well," continued our pioneer informant,
"don't you know that thar Spencer ia a nasty
little cuss t" We confessed our ignorance, and
even ventured to remark that wo thought hitno
model of personal neatness, ho being a blood
relation of ours. "Thar's whar yer left," said
our 40-erj "fur when wo wero crossin' the
plains, nnd cum to any water, if 'twas only a
iittfller waller filled with rain, that pircn cuss
'tid rush to tho water, kind o frantic like, nnd
yank nut a little scraper mailo o' bristles, which
ho allns carried in his jacket jiockot, jab it inter
the water, then inter his mouth, and scrub
nway liko all posuci'cd. Don't toll me that a
man is a 'model o' matness' what's got such an
all-fired dirty mouth that he's got to scrub it
out every timo ho can ketch a drop o' water."
At this juncture our pioneer relapsed into med

Salem, January 11, 1878.
A long residence on tlio Pacific coast, ex
tending far bock to the early days of tho gold
excitement in California, has made mo convers
ant with some of tho signs of the times.
I!y tho knowledgo thus obtained I havo re
cently been led to watch certaiu things, which
to ono of less experience would have hod no
bignificancc, but to mo have been .full of sttg
gcatioiis. And by this close oliservation I havo
becomo fully assured that a vicilanco committee
lias recently Imjcii formed in tins city, and that
fievcral of tho beat citi7x;ns of the placo have
Imjcii enrolled in tho organization.
This is mero conjecture, for although I could
not becomo informed of w hat has transpired at
any of the moetings already held( except bv
enrolling as a member myself, which I Bkall
nover do, yet things havo taken nl.ico lately
that convince mo bevond a doubt of tho forma
tion of such a soctoty. Now, Mr. Editor, I
think it my bounden duty to sneak up, nnd say
something on this matter. And first let mo
say that I am fully aware of tho dclicato posi
tion in which I placo myself, and also fully
aware of tho aggravated nature of tho crimes
and tho
BE.VSB OF DANOEU
Which havo led theso citizens to deem it neces
sity to tako tho step which thov havo taken.
Hut I am also fully aware, that although some
of tho members of this society nro old in expe
rience, having served actively on committees of
liko land in California, still that many of tho
gentlemen enrolled havo very little idea of
what Ls likely to accrue from their action. Ami
lot me ossuro these gentlemen, whatever they
may think, that they arc unknowingly threat
eninc society with a far greater danger than the
burglars who oro at this timo infesting our
city and It neighborhood. It is true that sneh
committees did much ecrvnee in tho oarly days
of California and Nevada, and that the good
accomplished outweighed the evil done. Hut it
must bo remembered that in those days tho
law was powerless, aud moro than powerless, to
punish tno criminal, for many of tho officers of
tlio law lelongcd to tho criminal classes and
wero in league with .tho erpctrators of crime.
And it must also be remembered that when the
law assumed ita sw-vy, and tho offices wero
purged of tho scoundrels that had succeeded in
filling them, tho continuatico of tho organiza
tion was found to bo a terrible curse, needing
tuitiprvtouoii.
lA't us consider what a vigilance committee,
nnco under full swing in this city, is likely to
do. Thero Ls no doubt that it will detect and
rMMtt!t.r I'i'.iis'i
All, or nearly til, the burglarious ruffians who
now infest our city and vicinity. This is cer
Uin: The very manner of its formation guar
autccM the detection and arrest of the criminal;
men from nil pirta of, nnd every occupation in
the eitv. meeting together and comparing notw,
and delthornting with but a chudo object in
view, and implicitly obeying their itiipcriorj,
cannot fad to accomplish this rctul t. This was
tlie st-uitfllh of the committees in California
and Nevada. The expense of bringing thrse
scuundrel.4 to punishment will be trilling, Mure
rone is not a costly article. Hut while wo may
safely calculate on the punishment of nil of
these criminals, we may be equally certain that
some, and possibly many innoceut men will
likewise sutler. Onco started, the Yigilance
(.'ommittoo will bo vigilant with a vengeance
The very nature of their proceedings, "secrecy,"
clloctuaily lars a very careful and impartial
trial. Thoao guards, of the admisvtbilitv oi
evidence, and tho construction of the law, which
havo Unit found so necessary for tho profc-ction
of tho unjustly suspected and aceured, cannot
be brought into exercise in the trials under such
nn organisation. To bo suepoctei will lie very
nearly as dangerous aa to bo guilty. Ik-sides
this wo havo laws that proscribe tho punish
ment that shall Isi awarded to the several kinds
of crime, and hanging is not tho punishment
prescribed for burglary. Our laws are well ad
ministered in this State; our officer are trust
worthy and vigilant, and wo have no uxcuho to
bring tho law and its olliccw into disrepute by
tiking matters into our own hand. If this is
once done, it w ill lie long Is. fore tho law and its

Is, rmr laws ore the result of careful delilsiration
and reiKvited amendment; thoy are not tho sud
denly conceived offspring of inllamed passion.
Can we expect that law -sao the mask--brought
into existence on the spur of the mo
ment, by men excited bv tho freijiuncy of dar
ing crimes, and rendered fearful liy tho danger
with which they nro immediately threatened,
will be as good as that which we now have.
Mr. Editor, I do Ug thatynu will nse nil the
influence of your paper, anil I sincerely trust
that the editors of other papers in this city will
do the same, to deter men from embarking in
this rash enterprise.
Let special polico l orgtnsl openly and
according to law; but let nothing lie dono con
trary to tho laws of tho Stato and of tho city.
Although I hardly entertain tho hopo that
what I have said will prove effectual in break
ing up thU organization, yet I could not permit
the tiling to go on without these words of ex
iMstulation. Finally lot mo entreat my fellow
citizens to do all things calmly, deliberately and
thotightftdly. I-kx.

Thero is a difference bttween character and
ropuhv'.iiin. Character is what we really are,
reputation is what otliera suppose we an A
man may havo a good character ar.d a bad rep
utation, or ho may havo a good reputation and
a bid character. The reason of this is, that
we form onr opinions of men from what they
appear to lu, aud not from what they really
are. (.ir trno happiness depondj not so much
en what is thought of us by others, oj on what
wo really are in ouwelvo. Early irapreasion,
although they nny appoor to be but light, are
the moat enduring, aud exert the greatest iiitlu
euce on our li. to character ia everything.
