in looking upon his work and contemplate
ing the wrath Of the neighboring tenants,
who looked on his big empty five.story,
double width marble building as il some
uncanny influence proceeded from it..
There was at one time talk Of trying TO
bring the old man into court on suit for
damages, and witnesses were ready TO
prove that the neighborhood had suffered
by his conduct, and that other property
owners were therefore entitled TO redress.
Mr.. Brewster's friends think that he would
rather have enjoyed the notoriety OF such
q suit, for he never Stunned publicity in
regard TO this within. When lie died, the
building had been 50 long tenantless that
the executors found that IL would not
readily rent. They were hampered, more
over, by their inability TO make long
leases; as the property was TO DO sold, the
executors were unwilling to load the new
owner with any obligations to tenants.
Abouta year ago various persons were found
to rent the premises at shade below lease
prices, and TO agree 10 move on thirty
days notice. They have been paying At
tbs rate OF Sl4,0O0a year. The property
sold for S2IS, 800.

THE UNITED STATES Supreme Coz RI
recently rendered decision which will
have the effect of saving to the Treas
ury muca money. 1t was i'll the case
of Charles II. Page VS.. the United
States for salary as member of the last
Congress from the State OF Rhode
Island. Page was elected on February
p 1857, 10 fill vacancy caused by the
House holding that the sitting member
was rot entitled to his seat. 1t has
been the rule that when a contestant
has gained seat, even though it wei g
in the expiring hours OF the session, he
should DE paid for the full term of the
Cor gress, Notwithstanding tne 90
teStee had been paid for the same time.
The court holds that so far as the paw
90 the contestee is a member while
he occupies the seat. ard the contest
ant can draw the salary only after the
contes5ee la been ousted.

CAPITOL HILL WATER.
THE HERALD.
Salt Lake City, Utah.

1t has been suggested, and the propo-
siuon ssems feasible, that water fol
CAPITOL Hill be pumped fro N the north
wsst flats. In the Seventeenth and
Nineteenth Wards, west OF First West
and north of First North Streets. there
are numerous neYer-failiDg springs of
pure water. Flowing wells can also be
had there at nominal expense. There
would be no difficulty in procuring
enough water from wells or springs to
supply a tract three or four times as
broad as that above the present water
line on Capitol Hill. 1t must be appar-
ent to every body that long years will
elapse before any portion of City Greek
can be diverted to the hill. 1t cannot
be done before water from some other
source has been obtained to supply that
part of the city which has always
drawn its water from the stream men
toned. Years hence, when Utah Lake
has been tapped for this city, or one
of the Cottonwoods been brought into
town, a port IN of City Creek may be
carried to the Hill to make that chain
ing height valuable as place OF res
idence. 1t is long time 10 wait, and
it doesn't seem wise to wait IN view OF
the weIl-Known fact that the land there
which is practically worthless to-day
will fetch elmost fabulous sums II
water eau be sold with 1t. The city
and the Territory propose to pool
taeir issues" as regards tle capitol
grounds and adjoining acres to be held
for park. and construct a reservoir;
but the little pond will not make
habItgbl4 or valuable the thousands oil
acres extending south from Ensign
Peak to the Arsenal Block. Besides,
unless there shall be an unusual de-
post uf snow du;ing the winter, tn
CITY and Territory will be puzzled to
find in City Creek enough surplus
wafer to supply their reservoir.
In many American cities the entire
wat.r supply is pumped long distances
from b low the towns. For years Den
yer pumped water from the
Platte, running below the city
forcing it through mains many
hundreds of feet. Comparatively |
few places are so fAvorably situated as
Salt Lake in regard to water. in most
places the fall and pressure having to

1t would be worth the while of the
Territory, the city and the property
owners on Capitol Hill to investigate
the matter, aud learn il it will rot
be cheaper and better, and if it will not
be the only solution of the problem, TO
pump water as indicated above. The
supply is adequate. and there is no
question of the ability to do the work.
The only problem is one of cost. 1t
seems TO us that the land is worth the
exIense to make it valuable.

COURTS AND..rhE,s CRITICISMS.

In the High Court of Justice IN
England, an important and interesting
opinion has recently been rendered
concerning the rights of a newspaper to
criticise judges and jurors, and the
power of courts over the press. A
newspaper had published a criticism
on the result OF a trial, scoring the
jud &c and the jury in sharp terms. An
application was made to tie High
Court to punish the proprietor and
editor of the paper for contempt, but
the court, in an elaborate opinion, be Id
that the parties could not punished
The opinion was by Justice Stephen.
He said the court had the power to
punish for contempt in fragrant case
of comment published during the trial
of case, and which was maliciously
designed to interfere with the course Of
justice; but even then it was power to
be used with the greatest care and
caution" After a decision had
been given or a verdict rendered,
however, the case was entirely
different. The Judge said: "The
court had done its WORK, the jury had
reached its verdict and they were
given over to criticism ard comment,
and of that they could net colnpl in.
There WAS an undoubted right to make
comment upon the conduct of judges
and juries." The case was dismjsst
and the defendants were discharged.
This seems GOOD law; it is at least
wholesome doctrine. though some
courts in America will not admit it. 1t
is the assertion of the right by. the
press to fearlesslY and fairly criticise til
decisions eni the conduct of judges
which has done quite as much as the
laws themselves to keep courts straight.
II judges were above criticism it would
not be long before courts would be any
thing but tribunals OF Justice.
