nGD~ Mr. VIM A. Zabriskie, of Kinderka-
mac, Bergen County died from an apparently
trivial cause, on Monday last. Two weeks
previous, while eating his dinner in the woods,
a small branch of tree was broken off by
the wind, and in falling, struck him lightly on
the right temple. Mr. Zabriskie got up, but
after walking about mile he tainted and be-
came helpless. He was taken sick, was most
of the time deranged, and finally died on Mon
day of last week, just two weeks after the
accident occurred.

LIBEL SUIT.

The New Jersey Railroad Company are
about commencing libel suit against David
Mar, editor of the Trenton True american. -
From statement of the case, as made by the
Gazette, 1t appears that in the Appendix to
the Minutes of the House of Assembly, the
'oflice expenses salaries and contingencies"
of the Company for the year 1853, was erro-
neously printed $ll3, 9s3 22-instead of $lO,-
ll3 0g, as it should have been This fact
was WELL KNOWN to Mr.. Mar, as his atten-
ton was particularly directed to it in Febru-
airy last, and at the request Of the Company,
he printed one or two hundred additional re-
ports for the Company, Wih the correction
made In his issue of the 3D. of this month,
with a perfect knowledge of its falseness, and
evidently with a view to injure the Company,
in political editorial article, he publishes this
erroneous statement as FACT In conse-
Quence of the Company propose to bring a
suit, laying damages at $4,000.
The following extract from the American's
article contains the libel:
But reverting to the question Of State ex-
penditures upon which Mr., jackson predicates
his argument against the Democratic party
we think it may be well for the stockholders
Of the New Jersey Rail Road Company to in
quire how it is that in single line, viz: of
fee expenses, salaries and contingencies the
expense to the Company has increased from
$6,665, % in 1852, to Sill 1892 in 1865
This is a monsrous increase in the space of
SIX years, and let it be remarked that it does
not include the maintaining of the railroads.
bridges, and buildings, in repairs Of locomo-
tives, cars and machinery, or fuel, or operating
the road and transporting passengers and
freight These are kept separate and apart.
But this enormous increase has grown up in
the three items of office expenses, salaries and
contingencies. Now perhaps when Mr. Jack
son makes his next speech to the stockholders
of the New Jersey Railroad Company, he will,
with the same precision and detail that he has
employed on State expenditures, explain how
and tor what this very large sum was expend-
ed, and as it may not be uninteresting for the
public to know the precise character of the
expenses under the head of contingencies, it
may not be amiSS for some of the parties
charged with extravaganza and wastefulness
by the principal manager of this corporation
to call for report of the items composing this
very considerable sum spent in one year for
SO indefinite purpose"
From the above act of wilful misrepresenta-
ton the people of our county may judge what
reliance can be placed upon the statements
so often quoted in these parts-of the cold
war-horse" of the True" american, as he is
fondly termed, by those of his party who have
dirty work to do Verify, the prosecution of
this suit will make fit take on the State
printing, and cause much concern and anxiety

feel quite confident of organizing the House
of Assembly by electing their candidates -
They profess to have assurance of the support
of two Shanghi members. Messrs Graham and
Reeves, and they ayow d determination to
prevent Mr.. johnson from taking his seat
AS Mr Reeves voted in Mr. Johnson's favor
at the last session, he cannot now vote to un-
seat him without completely stultifying him
self; the more particularly as the case has not
changed in any OF its aspects since then, ex-
cept that it is demonstrated past all contro-
versy that the people of Johnson's District
fully sustain him. The Democracy may be
able to secure the organization of the Assem-
bly,, and may do so without difficulty. We
presume they will But they will find it no
easy matter, we apprehend to bring all the
members of their own party, saying nothing
of the Shanghais, to ride rough shod over the
rights of Mr. johnson, and of the people he
is chosen to represent, in the manner medita-
ted by the leaders. If they do SO, we shall
miss our guess if it does not prove the eostliest
