An article appeared some time since in our
local column in terms of censure upon Judge
Robertson, Of the First District Court, for i'm
posing a fine upon dilatory witness. We have
since ascertained that the manner in which the
matter was stated did injustice to the Judge, as
the proceedings of the Court had been DELAYED
for some time by the absence of important wit

A CHINESE NEWSPAPER IN San FRANCISCO.
A Chinese newspaper has been started in San
Francisco, The Herald says:
1t is entitled the Gold Hills News, California
being known among the Chinese as "the Gold
Hills As usual with many of the Oriental
nations, one has to read Chinese from top to
bottom, instead of from left to right The News
presents a very fair typographical appearance
for Chinese; that is to say, tlooks as if spider
out Of an ink bottle had crawled over sheet of
white paper We are not very familiar with the
Chinese characters, but from appearances we
should judge that the salutatory of the editor
was particularly eloquent. 1t abounds in a
number Of heroglyphics that strongly resemble
centlpedes, with an occasional dash Of taran-
tulas, The Chinese population of this State
numbers at least 25,o0o, and as they nearly all
know how to read, Notwithstanding the length
of time and labor it requires to attain that ac-
oomplishment, there is no doubt the Gold Hills
News will be well supported. We wish our
Celestial contemporary all manner of success

RECORDERS COURT OF THE SECOND DISTRICT
W0rthy Of Laitation.-Mr. S. Monde did some
thing yesterday which we hope will be initiated
by others. The driver of cab No. 1876 exacted
from him 81 so tor service for which the law
allows but % cents. Mr.. Monde forthwith laid
the case before the Recorder, and the driver was
arrested and will be held accountable There
is a defect in our legislation which we hope will
engage the attention of the Police Committee.
A gentleman wishes the services of cab driver,
on stormy night, to take him to his home
The driver refuses to do so, until the stranger
offers him an extrayagant price. Thus the law
is eyaded. Now we suggest that drivers should
not be restrained from charging beyond the
prescribed limits, but should be compelled,
under penalty, to take passengers at the legal
rates.
Larceny-Robert Arlington says he chad
been drinking but was not intoxicated" and
knows what he was about. He testiies that on
Tuesday afternoon, being at the Pavilion Coffee
House, corner of Leyee and Canal streets, be
requested the bar-keeper, named Stephen Star,
to get him q carriage-that he soon after re-
turned and said he could not get any, but told
deponent he might go up stairs and take o nap
in his Stars bed--that on doing so he made
known to Star the fact that he had 800 on his
person, which he put under the pillow; that he
didn't wake up till o'clock, when, 10 and be-
hold he was pennyless. He therefore charges
the bar-keeper Star with stealing his money.
Star was arrested and held to bail in $500 for
future examination,
