DUTIES OF JUDGES AND LAWYERS.

We have had number Of instances
in Seattle. Of late, when lawyers and
judges have been sharply and unreason-
ably criticized for doing nothing more
nor less than their duty. When that
daty comes in conflict with the wishes
and interests Of any considerable num-
Der Of people, the latter apparently
imagine that the lawyer or judge should
favor them, whether they arc in the
right or wrong. A Judge is expected
on such occasions to violate the sanctity
Of his oath of office for the sole purpose
Of gratifying the people. H. must not
decide the law impartially. but 50 as to
suit tho present within of the greater
number. 1t is the same With attorneys.
When one is engaged by poor fellow
to advise him, or to assist him out Of
q scrspe. il that advice or assistance is
against the good Of the community, or
10 thought to be SO, the community rises
at once sgsinst tho lawyer. He is q
traitor aud scoundrel. and should be
driven from town. His own friends ere
silenced. aud in q momcnt perhaps the
most popular man in town finds him
self alone. This is certaiuly oil wrong.
II would be u hard condition Of affairs
If lawyers refused. at the dictsticn of
the crowd. to work for their clients. and
il judges. simply to pander to voters
and taxpayers. deliberately construed
the law contrary to their own knowledge
OF l.. There woald be no reliance, no
honor 10 either, and the tendency would
10 toward anarchy and tho constant ex.
ercise OF might over right.

Hall on RuIIdfHO.

Following is from the pen of a member of leading mercantile firm of Tucson:
 EDITOR CITIZEN In the Daily Star of 23d instant appears communica. ton signed by one Hall," giving ad. vice to property owners and citizens of Tucson generally about American izing their town, &c., and speaks slightingly of the favorite building material of all southern countries, and which has been such since the dawn of history, viz: "AdobeS" Is this writer aware that adObes are the cheap CT, safer and most economical build ing material that can be obtained? ? and is he aware that at slight cost an adobe wall can he made to assume any finish at the hands of painter and that that can be protected by a hard finish easily applied? And kept covered, these adobes will stand for one or two thousand years.
 It is very well for some one from a little timber town in the backwoods of Maine or Canada, where it rains two days every week, to talk "oi Americanizing a town under the idea that all perfection is in the little town he came from; like the patriotic ScotSmen he would transport the missiles from his native land.
 Now suppose the advice of this gratuitous public constructor were followed and timber houses erected in Tucson in place of adobe ones, why some dry, windy day a fire would start and in an hour, Tucson would be in ashes.
 MT. Hall, get over your school-boy preiudices; consider there may be something applicable to the surround ing, without pattening after your little town, and that adobes are the best building material that can be used in this climate even by Americans"

 C. C. Bean informs us that he vii be able to save . pretty fair gold mil from the wreck of the Aztlan. Int boiler is uninjured. A little expendi ture will make the engine all righ again. About one ton of quicksilver and the assaying outfit are saved. The battery is not much injured.
 We have the best of news from tho Tiger mill and mine, in Bradshaw Mountain, about forty miles south oi Prescott. A private letter recently re ceived states that S40,000 in silver bull lion, ranging from 830 to 935 fine had been received. The working shaft is now down about 300 feet.
 J. H. Lee informs us that the road across the MogOllon mountains, lead. ing to Apache County, Arizona, New Mexico and the States is now in very bad condition. The two counties and the mail company should, it is thought, fix it up little. Our peoples main hope is that Congress will make the appropriation asked for in MT. Camp bells bill.
