The democratic legislature of New
York. after it had bought Winans and go1
full sway, passed law reviying the an
cient and long obsolete powers of Judges
in the matter of constructive contempt Of
court. The evident object of the statute
is to muzzle the press of New York by
putting it into the power of any judge
whose actions are criticised to mulct the
publishers of the paper in which the COM
ments appear, in heavy damages, by sum
mary process, himself being the sole arbi
TRAITOR in the matter. The journals of the
metropolis have recently dealt heavy blows
at the corrupt courts that are under the
thumb of Tammany; and even the thick
hided politicians of the Ring begin to feel
it. Hence this delicious bit of medieval
legislation. The Bar Association of New
York, which probably includes the ablest
lawyers in the country, unanimously con-
dennis the law, and has sent committee
to Albany to request GOV. Hoffman not tc
sign the bill.

pick at John York's house for the purpose of
prospecting as they stated. After digging a

men from San Diego, to get some treasure
that was buried long time ago, that they
had diagram but were not able to find the
location of the plant and might need a
surveyor. Our old resident told him where
the stone chimney formerly stood. The mex,

what they came for. There has been much
curiosity and speculation as to wha. thew
came for. In 1855 the Stockton Stare was
