Show FHKBDO.H OF THE PRKgs, A late issue of the Salt Lake Herald Her-ald contains an article on the "Freedom "Free-dom of the Press," from which it appears that the animadversions of that journal upon the character and qualifications of one Judge Hawlcy have become exceedingly distasteful to the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Utah Territory. From the article iu question it appears that that .judicial functionary has directed the Grand Jury peremptorily to indict the editors of the Hkralti. We are not aware of the name of this learned Judge in Utah, this '"second Iluniel come to judgment," but would infer, from his pursuing such a course, that he makes up in the length of his cars what he lacks in the knowledge of the law. behave a fcilow occupying the -auie po-ition in Idaho who would make a good match for this Utah Solon, but the ermine did not shield him from attacks through the public press. If our I tab friends arc burdened burden-ed with a corrupt Judiciary, they -hould flay thorn whenever an opportunity oppor-tunity is pro.-cntcd, and -how them up in their true colors, libel or no libel, indictment or no indietmniil.
