LIBELs AND LIBEL SuIrs.-A suit against the
Tribune newspaper for libel pu blished during
the last election is set down for trial to day in
one Of the courts Of law. The libel was a
charge made against one of the candidates to
the effect that he had set fire to his store in or
der to obtain the amount of the insurance. It
is not to be supposed that the Tribune people
or any other journalists would willingly and
knowingly publish libels against any individual
in the community rendering themselves liable
in damages Libels originating in newspapers
are generally produced by personal or politi-
cal excitement at the time of elections. Per-
haps no journal in the country has been more
under the malignant influence Of such excite
ments than the Tribune, and hence the large
sums it has paid in the shape Of damages or
settlements for suits. During the last year, it
is said that libel suits and settlements by way
of preventing them, cost our contemporary from
five to seven thousand dollars. Other cotem-
poraries such as the Express and the Sun have
paid good deal Of money also. II ia sim
gular feet that the HERALD, daring the twenty
years Of it's existence, has probably suf-
ftred less by verdicts in libel suits 1--WE
never settled any, than any other leading
paper. We do not Of course include the FRY
verdict, as 1t was palp,ble violation of truth,
law and justice, and will no doubt be set aside
on a new trial. The fact is, it is probable that
the New YORK HERALD during its long career
has probably been more careful of individual
character and reputation than any of its cotem-
porariee. although the yindictiyeness And abuan
and jealousy Of the latter have represented it
as being perfect Satan Of infamy and false
hood libel and defamation.
When the verdict was rendered in th, last
libel suit against the HERALD, our good friends
Of the Tribune gloated over the heavy verdict
and did all they could to prejudice the jury
and the community against us. We hope, in
retain for this outburst of malignant enmity,
that the jury which meets today to Judge the
