A MERITED REBUKE.-We learn from
the Cincinnati Gazette that Judge Finn.
of the Criminal Court of that city, has
been very much chagrined at the freedom
with which the press commented upon
his conduct, and that of several others
connected with the administration Of cri-
minal Justice.
He seemed to think this freedom of re-
mark was an infringement upon his dig
nifty. This is the usual slang of those
who possess little dignity, and whose
Courts deserve the contempt they inspire.
The attention of the Grand Jury was
called by Judge Finn especially to tho
ani,nadevrsions of the press on recent
action of his in the Criminal Court. Tho
jury in their presentment remarked, "that
while they would guard from defama-
ton and condemn the publication of
articles tending to bring into contempt
the conseryators of the public peace and
morals, yet they consider the proceedings
of the officers of the law, and other pub
lie servants, as proper subjects for full
and free comment and discussion. The
press is an eper sVatchtuL guar dian of tho
peoples rights and principles and its pre-
negatives should not be lightly interfered
,U,th'
The sensible presentment was 80 offen-
sve to Jndge Finn, that he refused, con-
trary to usage, either to order the report
to be placed on record or to be printed.
For this reason, we would place it on re-
cord in the coumes of the Delta-a lesson
for silly Judges, who think they can nu3-
zle the press. IN. o. Delta

Quartz MININa.-Well authenticated
private accounts ofrich mining operations
in the vicinity of Sonora, and other nil
nlng localities, but especially the former,
convey intelligence of discovery Of quarts
lodges, which are yielding t,oenty dollars
to the pound of auriferous quartz. This
enormous yield, though not confined to
one locality, has been kept strictly secret
by those concerned. Our information 10
derived from one of the owners of the
New York mine, near Sonora; a contin-.

though in the hands of others, is now
yielding that amount. considerably to the
disappointment of the company named.
