We feel that we have discharged our duty, and
we should be little worthy Of the editorial posi-
ton we hold, if we shrank from any just respon-
sibility in the regular discharge of our duty.
We cannot permit the decencies of private life to
be outraged by such indecent imputations, and
the reasonable immunities of judicial station be
so ruthlessly condemned, without plainly and de.
'cisively declaring that the public sense of the
community should visit the seyerest censure mp.

1t is charged that Judge Rost, an amiable
quiet, inofensive and correct gentleman, is al
unprincipled, proaigate and unconscientious
man. It is sought to degrade him in his officia
position, and his brethren Of the bench are sought
to be involved in the degradation. Hereafter
few respectable citizens will put foot in any the
