vice GhanseEer Pitnsy and the
PsOple.

Vice Chancellor Pftney has on various
occasions displayed from the bench a
contempt for the people and their rights
which has attracted considerable atten-
ton TO him. Prominent among acts of
this kind were his repeated endeavors to
exclude representatives of the press from
his court
No doubt he would nave liked also to
exclude the reporters from that meeting
Of a committee of the Morristown Board
Of Aldermen, in which he declared, with
cynical frsnknesss his lack Of confidence
In the people. Mr.. Pitney has always
been very ready with his tongue; but
after he a incautiously let fly the opin-
ions which he entertains upon public
questions, 1t has not been unusual for
him to show dread CT the consequence
and an eager desire to keep them out OF
print. Thus 1t happened on a previous
occasion that when he had been making
some remarkable pronouncements re-
xarding the rights of corporations, he at
49,
tempted to bulldeze a reporter VIII hap
pened to be among his hearers, and thus
prevent the public from becoming aware
of his peculiar views.
Mr.. Pitney's contempt for the public
must be regarded as nothing short OF in
decent In a man who not only has been
their servant at a high salary. himself,
for many years, but whose son is also
the holder of an office Of supreme inn
portance through direct popular suffrage.
We are not prepared to say that Mr..
Pitney's contempt for the vote Of the
people is justified by the recent election
OF his son to Congress, but we will think
1t quite Justified If the voters ever pro
mote the young gentleman to the Cover
norship, for which he has an ambition.
