LnzRrY or rm PHnm m PHu.ApnyHIA-
The Philadelphia ksAEer, and several other
journals Of that ely, ere just now raising .
great outcry about libel verdict obtained
against the former by . man named Owens, .
bridge tender On the Camden and Amboy rail-
rosA The libel consisted in the publication Of
the report Of the Superintendent of the road,
n which he attributed an accident, which CO.
Cured about two years since on the line, to
the opeEiDg Of the draw on the Rancocas creek
by Owens, after the train was in sight and the
whistle had screamed its warning. For this
statement Of the superintendent, unaccom-
panied by either comment or censure on the
part Of the Ledger, Its proprietors have been
nealcted by . jury in the cum Of two thousand
collars.
Our Philadelphia contemporaries say truly
enough that the liberty of the press is delu-
ion and q snare, whilst verdicts like this are
returned by ignorant and prejadiced juries. It
is curious that they should only now have ar
rived at this conviction. We remember that
not many months since these same journals re-
DICED over the contamination of similar ini-
quitous proceeding, under the libel law, in our
own case. We had occasion to find fault with
the manner in which an operate establishment
in this city was conducted; we showed that its
affairs were going to ruin from NAL admnistra-
ton, and that this state Of affairs was owing
to it's having an incompetent manager. We
proved every thing that we had asserted on
the trial, but in spite of our justification, and
Notwithstanding that we had not uttered a
word against the private'character of the plain
tiff, an ignorant and prejudiced jury returned a
verdict of 5000 damages against us-a yer.
dict which the common sense of the community
repudiated, and which a.court of law very soon
aftefauashed Well, the Ledger and its sympa-
tbisers of the Philadelphia press gloated over
that iniquitous decision, without rejecting that
their own turn might soon come. We should
like to know what they think on the subject
now? The fellow feeling which the poet tells us
makes people wondrous kind, has, we guess
materially altered their sentiments in regard
to it.

COMMENCEMENT OF THE PRoHIBIToRY Law
REvuLsIoN-The Brevoort House, a splendid
family hotel on Fifth avenue, has collapsed
with the introduction Of the Maine Liquor Law.
The furniture, purchased only few months
ago at hundred thousand dollars has been
bought by Mr.. A 7. Stewart, the highest
bidder, at some twenty eight thousand. This
is the beginning of the Maine law revulsion.
Others of our hotels, great and small, will pro-
baby go the same way from the pressure of
this new liquor bill before the end of the year.
Mr. Stewart will probably transfer his Brevoort
furniture to one or two new hotels for New York
accommodation over in Jersey. Rents and real
estate here are already beginning to feel the
reaction. Explosions and failures may be ex-
pected in due season, and such commotion in
our midst from and after the 4th OF July as
has never before been experienced. We only
want now the new police bill, and before the
end of the summer ruffianism and anarchy will
