PRETENDED LIBELs-Mos of the suits brought
against newspapers may very properly be cassed
under the above denomination. For the smallest
technical error, or the slightest and most unlnten
tional mistake of reporter, persons mscalled Law
yers are found ready TO issue writ for libel, and
Judges are invariably compelled TO lend themselves, as
the Law now stands hold the proprietor OF paper to
BAIL causing 10 him deep oftentimes
where he happens to be poor jeoparding his personal
liberty He compelled by the system TO go 10 jail give
responsible bondsmen for his appearance yield TO the
vile and Infamous back.mail extertion which was the
object Of the suit by paying heavy sum for what Is
called thus far and an additional amount Tor
stop the suit money Indeed the system becomingso
prevalent that the newspapers dare not now speak Of one
half the niquy that is daily going on lest there might
be some technical flaw which would give to few
harpies who unfortunately have become mingled with an
honorable profession opportunity to collide with the
pretended injured party and perhaps by little (or
good dee if necessary false swearing, exercise their
vocation and bleed" they call it, the publisher
that is extort from him his hardearned funds II they
do succeed in this they drag the proprietor before
Jury causing him great expense, and by the aid Of
all sorts OF infamous asehood and SANDER against the
press influence the minds of the Jury to rendera verdict
not only unjust the party thus but ruinous
the WelOepG OF tee community a5 IL
and strikes down that honest healthy tone, which
American newspaper should ever be protected in main
tanning.
We speak now OF civil suits which are the principal
ones resorted to in the alluded to- Though there
are great abuses and the exercise OF the passions
is oteutines exhibited in complaints for asserted libel
in the Criminal Courts the newspapers there have bet
ter chance as the penalty is by law defined and the
pdy of the persons speak Of not much called into
play.
This holding.toba system in civil suits is an outrage
which should be put end to- The Constitution Of the
United States the American people the liberty
of speech and OF the press The law OF the State gives
to the public, through the only medium by which they
can obtain it, the Press, knowledge of what is trans
piring in the community only requiring that what is
stated shall be true and the latter is the case suit
cannot be maintained in civil court. Two-thirds OF
what are called ibels In fact true at most,
very doubtful and unnentona technically creeps in
which gives opportunity for the men we speak of TO
commence suit Why should the publisher OF a news
paper then be thus punished in advance, guilty
guilty and be compelled TO give bail or go 10 prison
This is a matter which concerns the public at large
as well publishers of papers for depend upon it, when
the Press is prohibited or ntnidated from obtaining

rupton will etak abroad and every member of the
community be called upon to experience their bghting

The Public Lands.

In the House of Representatives on Monday, MI
HERRIcKr asked and obtained leave to present the
Memorial Of the National Reform Association on the
subject of the Public Lands Mr.. Fl. in Offering the
Memorial remarked that the question involved in II
had elected of late much attention and that lis rea
souipgs seemed TO make il clear that some action re
specting the great national inheritance, the Public
Lands was indispensable. Spectators were abroad
and the time was distant when the whole Natlone
Domain would be absorbed, unless some steps were
taken TO stay the operation OF the causes winch
tended TO that result The memoralists desired that
the Lands should be held as they are now by the
whole People, and that any person who has no land
should be allowed 70 take and use small quantity,
aud possess at any time right TO sell his improve
ments but in no instance be allowed to sell TO any
person possessing any other land thereby raising
up great landed democracy. He asked that the
Memorial be printed but the House-unwisely as we
think-refused compliance with this request 1t was
however referred 10 the Committee on Public Lands,
by whom we hope it will receive the consideration it
deserves.
On the same day Mr.. A. JOHNSON made an unsuc-
cessfuI effort to induce Mr.. TIBBATTs 10 waive q
motion made by him in order that he (Mr. j. might
introduce bill TO authorize every poor man in the L.
States who is at the head of family 10 enter 100
ucres of the Public Domain without money and with
out price On the same day also Mr.. MCCONNELL, in
pursuance of previous notice obtained leave and In
troduced bill to grant the head of amily-man,
maid, or widows homestead not exceeding 100
acres, which bill was read twice and committed.
