rnE BROWN CONTEMPT ctsE.

The Messrs. R. c. aud G. w Brown, in the judicial mill, were adjudged in contempt of court and Fin view of the gravity of the oilsnse" the court com mitted G. W. Brown to sixty days im- prisenment in the Pima county jail and assessed upon him, as further pun ishmeHt, fine of one hundred dollars. R. c. Brown was let down somewhat easier His incarceration was to ex- tend just half the time of his co-editor. The crime for which they were ad. judged guilty was for sditorially criti- eising tho action of the grand jury, after that body had adjourned for the term, and no longer 2 coordinate branch of the court.
 The judge, however in infioting punishment, after the Browns had purged themselves of intended con tempt, said, in his review of the sdito- rial in question, whether there be in that sufficient to constitute contempt of court is not material, nevertheless, II should think it would have some effect on the minds of jurors who were to try the case Gndietment) or who, at least, were then in attendance upon the court. !"
 From the sentence of the Pima Dis trict Courtthe Browns applied to Judge Gooding for writ of habeas corpus releasing them from imprisonment The application was granted, but upon hearing of the case they were reman- dsd to the custody of the sheriff of Pima county, whoh it was that execu- tive clsmency was invoked, and, in the opinion of the BEIT justly granted, and the Messrs. Brown released from GUS tody.
 On account of its arbitrary character, the power of the courts ia matters of contempt has always been looked upon with great Jealousy in the United States. In some cases there is a hm- tied power of revision by higher court, where the power to commit for contempt has been abused; but the general remedy is by impeachment of United States judges by Congress. In Pennsylvania the statute provides that No publication, ou. of court, respect ing the conduct of the judges, officers of the court, jurors, witnesses, parties or any of them of, in or concerning aRy cause depending in such court, shall be construed into contempt of the said court, so as to render the author, printer, publisher, or either of them, liable to attachment and sum mary punishment for the same.
 The Pennsylvania law is no doubt the embodiment of the prevailing sen timent in regard to newspaper criti- cisms, but only when the power of a Jutbn AH 9A bAsAe4AAl uoSNAs AS lAtIB AlN agitation of the question, and legisla- tion has not kept pace with the re- quiremeats of modern journalism. The newspaper has become such an impor tant factor in business and society, that its interests are identified with those of the pubic; and the interests of neither inc press nor the people at large are subserved by the summary punishment of an editor or newspaper writer for the publication of facts or opinions which happen to be diatasteful to a judge. The party agggieyed, whether a member of the grand jury or other court officer, has under the statute am- pie redress by civil or criminal pro- eesdings against the publisher of the article exactly as any other person who is ibelled.

will at aIrtaX Courthouse, apSrehensive Of
losing IL. had the instrument conveyed to
