MHNERs' PROTECTIVE UNION.

The miners in the neighborhood Of
Angels, Calaveras county, organized last
month an association bearing the above
name. They claim that large tracts of
mineral land are o being located under
agricultural titles by spectators. These
spectators, it is held, obtain the lands by
false representations, their object being,
not to make agricultural homes for them
selves, but to m~onopolize as many yalu-
able acres as possible. The aim Of this
society is to watch the new locations made,
and see to it that the land concerned IS
rightly described by the locators.

THE whipping.post is to be re-established
under the new code in Nir ;ina on and after
the lst of July proximo, One or more of
these delcctabe evidences of modern civili-
zation will be erected in each city, town,

establishment is the economy of public
whipping as punishment for petty crimes,
which II is argued will save the State thou
sands of dollars that would otherwise be
expended in the support and safe-keeping Of
prisoners in the jails and penitentaries.

THE PUBLIC PRINTING AND BrNDINR

THE PUBLIC PRINTING AND BINDINY
Mr.. FINLEY, of Ohio who, though not
practical printer, has been feeling and
stumbling his way through an investigation
of tho Public Printing and Binding very
much ms blind man would grope through
an unfamiliar and unknown section O.
country, and, as all investigators are ex.
pected to report or speak something, whether
they know il or not, he has made q speech
We have read his speech, and have come to
the deliberate conclusion that though the
Proverbs declares that If we bray a fool
ina mortar his foolishness will not depart
" from him." IL we put fool in Congress
his foolishness is as sure to gush from him rs
the juices are to flow from ripe muskmelon
when the knife sewers its body. FINLEY
made speech upon subject of which he
knew nothing when he began, and under
native stupidity of eminent scope he grew
to know less and less, until he concluded
that he must tell what he didn't know
about printing and binding to the Congress
Of the United States. We find what pur-
ports TO be his speech in the Congressional
Record but we are assured that it was
never delivered, for the reason, 10 doubt,
that he had not the courage to peddle out
his ignorance and stupidity to an audience
of his peers face TO face.
But, having made no report Of his ex-
ploits as an investigator he felt called upon
to do something to indicate that he had in
vestigated. Hence we find his speech
spread on the pages of the Congressional
Record, where are stored away volumes OF
nonsense and Misrepresentation, mingling
in wild confusion as they have fallen from
the tongue ofignorance and cgotism. We say
now, and we say it without fear of just con-
tradiction, that this effort Of Mr.. FINLEY
which is characterized as a speech, is the
worst piece of hashed ignorance, falsehood
and stupidity that was ever lodged upon
the page of national history. Knowing
nothing of his subject, and making state.
ments cgotistically wise, but stupidity igno-
rant, we are led to exclaim with SHAFTsBuRY
-" The greatest of fools is he who imposes
"on himself, and in his greatest concern
thinks certainly lie knows that which he
has least studied and of which he is most
profoundly Ignorant
FINLEY addressed himself to the subject
of an amendment to a law relating to the
public printing, which had some intrinsic
merit of itself, but which became as dead a:
JULIUS CESAR after his speech had beer
read. 1t was fatal to anything that partook
of the nature of common sense. And here
let us remark, those who would demolsh al
important branch of the public service mus
bring heavier metal to bear upon it than i.
welded by this impotent engine. 1t car
never be overcome by the absurdities o.
idiotic malice. 1t can only be broken dowr
and demolished by well aimed truth and
solid argument, and neither Of these can be
projected from FINLEYs armament. w,
congratulate the inventors of this engine o
mischief over the achievement. 1t has no

BEING somewhat familiar with the sub
ject-matter Of some of the Investigations of
Mr.. GLOVER and his subcommittee, we
take early occasion to pay deserved COM
pliment to the Hon. NJ. d. WHITE, of Indi-
ana the Republican minority representa-
tive, on one Of Mr.. GLovER's most i'm
portant subcommittee. Mr.. WHITE is a
good lawyer, and by his unobtrusiveness
and fair dealing in the committee soon won
the confidence of his associates and assumed
prominent position in heir.counsels and
deliberations. His cross-examinations are
reported as models of fairness, brevity, and
acumen, and to them is largely accredited
the exposure Of the dnimus and rascality of
the impostors who caused the creation of
"GLOvERs committee" While much of
Mr. WHITES time has been necessarily oc-
cupied in these investigations, he has never
thclcss been able to devote himself to the
interests of legislation and the country on
the floor Of Congress as an honest and judi
cious member lie is comparatively new
man with us, but his course has been such
as to give him the reputation of being q
prudent and intelligent legislator, and q
watchful and earnest friend of the Repub-
can party.

ofrcvOking the findings OF the court-martial

than they will attempt to rebuke the court
