"Eider Knapp in trouble. We published
a paragraph the other day from a Providence
piper, stating ,hu, Elder Knapp had been
sued Tor slander, on account Of some remarks
alleged to have boen made by him, in the pull
pit, derogatory to the character Of lady and
her family. The fact of such suit having
been brought, appears to afford much salts
faction to portion Of the press. We know
not why it should. II is easy to bring an
action for SANDER or libel, with or without
cause and the tact Of snch an action being
brought. does not prove any thing, either
way. We have seen no statement OF the
case by The defendant, or his friends. 1t is
quite possible that, like the suit commenced
against him at New Haven for assault and
battery, this too may end in smoke. Would
it not be well to wait and see? Elder Knapp
is one Of the best Of men; his labors to do
good are unceasing his spirit 10 full of kind.
ness, and he wishes Ill to no one. The great
difficulty is. we Imagine, that he commits as
sauts and batteries on mems conscicnccs.

JUDGE MARsHALL.-Pass:ng up Chestnut
street yesterday, we looked round TO see
how much change few hours showing had
wrought in the appearance of things. The
branches of trees bent with their new load,
and waving cornices from the roofs Of the
houses above the snow, had been moulded to
shape by the breath of the "north wind"
But there was one change that struck our
eye particularly. On The portico Of the Mar
shall House there is a small bust Of The great
and good man whose name the establishment
bears. 1t is moulded with striking fidelity
to the manly features and simple gurb of the
Chief Justice, who conformcd himself to the
feelings and character OF the people whose
cause he judged in righteousness. Marshall
wore his own hair, and appeared, excepting
On the bench, IN the simplest garb of an ordl
nary citizen. Ills likeness, therefore, mus,
be represented in that simplicity TO be faith.
fuI. But yesterday the Heavens did whnt
man neglected They placed upon the head
Of the Chief Justice white wig, Of size and
purity that would have done credit TO the
Lord Chancellor Of England, and spread over
his shoulder mantle of purest crnine. The
time marked aud weather. stricken features
Of the vencrated eire looked dark and grave
under the superintendent mass of white.
ness. But we lifted our hat to the figure,
thankful that Heaven had honorcd The bust
Of one for whom man had no higher honors.
