to recall instances where the courts have

THE EXPLANATION OF IT.
Prom the New Haven Register.

From the New Haven Register.
It is clear at a glance what It was
that stirred the Vice-Chancellor to this
remarkable outbuIst. 1t was the inward
consciousness that he had been lmpru-
dent and injudfcial in his comments, ana
the fear as well as that the fact wouEd
be made public. That is the only ex-
PLANTATION, but unfortunately for the
V-ice4Chancellor that is, on the one hand'
neither a satisfactory explanation. nor
on the other.a sufficient reason for I'M
posing without constitutional warrant,
upon the newspaper the ~fanat OF
the Courts indiscretion. Whatever the
Court says In the course of a nearing

u-tterauces are the property OF the peo-
ple as proceedings from them.
Tt is not the fault of a newspaper II
the Court exceeds ITS judicial limits, ana

sort is manffestly the assumption OF an

We have spoken Of this incident and

extent because OF the mistaken notion OF
too many Judges that the power to pun
ish for contempt carries with it the
power to exert a press censorship IN
matters of a public character. The
acknowledgement of their right to thus
ride slip shod over the combined
rights of the people and of their pub
lie organs of speech would bring about
a state of society in which it would be
exceedingly uncomfortable to live, and
in the place of a republic we should
have a despotisrn of a kind never yet
contemplated anywhere upon the face

a service, in politely but firmly standing

Such, however, happened to William

When Mr.. Quackenbosh arrived he

From the Camden ..citizen.o

This is merely mother attempt on the
part of Pitney to muzzle the press. He
did the same thing on two occasions in
Camden, his spleen being directed
against Adam R. Sloan. one of Camden's
most reputable newspaper men. If Pit
ney is ashamed of his own remarks
while upon the bench. the remedy seems
to be within his reach. and he should
apply it where it will do the most good.
He has no right to declare the proceed
ings of a public court private, that his
iniudicious remarks may not reach the
public ear. It is time the press gave err
ratio Mr.. Pitney a taste OF tie criticism
he seems so greatly to dread.
