A di-patch recti veil jc-u-i Jny (ruin l.onn liramh, caruo iij-on Hi liken thuri'ii-r chip, ft niya that n t'rujitnit-tcc t'rujitnit-tcc a j'poiiireil by (.'aliiirni:i and .Yv;i'!a capirali.-I had rt iiufnd Lwil' 1'iaiich, to piu-i'iit llnir (.'IiiuiH uL-aiu-t tin.-I.'tuh tin.-I.'tuh Judiciary to l'n;nid"ut ii:tnt, and tbut the IreaiJi'tit had iL-ccivtid (be papcre. Now what htv. our Judiciary bcn duinp this time? With ull our i-(Forts to keep tlicm rt r:iiur)i t, tbey will pyt into hot wuter. We uulifi'd u I'vw day ho that soiuobody was trying to havo tin: in removed, uud tb' ii we protiouiii'cd strongly in f'uvur! of having them retained in otticc, j especially our very 'articular friend Ilawley. Had there not been a libel; cahe hanging over the Herald liko a moral incubus, causing us to wilt at flvcry appearance of litigation, we mijfht have expressed ourselves still more warmly in tlieir favor. What have tbey been doing, we ask again? Somebody .ays they have become be-come iutcrchtcd in mining matters. And what if they have? Who is there in Utah ju-rt now not interested in mining? la it such a sin to invest in argentiferous? And in theno days of expensive living, it is the moxt natural tiling in the world that gontlomen with limited salaries should endeavor to increase them. What is twenty-five hundred or three- thousand dollars a: year for a man occupying a leading! position in a wealthy commuuity liko ' Utah? And to think that men of such ability and talent that they are deemed worthy to grace high ollicial poaitioua, should ba "cribbed, cabined and confined" withiu such narrow monetary limits is preposterous. We do not see, either, whyan official should not bo as good a judge of argentiferous galena as a merchant whoso principal business has been dealing in calico and molasses, stoves and bar-sonp. If such officials have elaims.of course they prospected pros-pected for them. The insinuation that there was elaim-jumping and improper means taken to secure title is evidently j a very groundless ono. Who would i think of ititimhting anything of the! kind in such connection ! This mutter! wants to bo .straighleiied out, and nurl worthy friends of the judiciary retained in position. We 1 1 j ct t-i ull attempts I to remove them; and if they have! struck out for "ore," who wmtMn'tj have done the s:ime under like cii cum-1 stances? They have been steady; friends to the IIkhald, and tho IlKit-j ALD never goes back on its friend.j They aided us in our earliest efforts to f win popularity for this paper, and we; mean to&tand by them, as long as they stand, and see justice done, though the Wasatch mountains should tumble : into Salt Lake. |
