Resolutions passed at a meeting of citizens of Louisa County threaten punishment by extra-legal means to certain characters whose presence is objected to. The Charlottesville Advocate objects, arguing that Virginia has sufficient laws and that prosecution and punishment of criminals should be left to courts, magistrates, and their officers, not encouraged like San Francisco Vigilance Committees.
