THE NEWSPAPER LIBEL SUIr.-The New York
Times of yesterday says: The Boston Courier states
that Senator Hale, of New Hampshire, has sued
that paper for damages, caused by reprinting an
editorial article from the Times. We presume the
article is the one in which we commented upon
Mr.. Hale's agency in procuring the passage of a
private bill through the Senate. We believe the
comrhents were such public journal has right
to make upon the public action of public man.
So far as we are concerned, they were prompted
solely by sense of public duty-and we presume
the Courier copied them from the same motive.
We do not believe Senator Hale has taken the
wsest course in appealing to the law for protection
against such criticism. Any editor whose charac-
ter gives weight enough to his censure to render
it worthy of notice, would be ready, at any time,
to remedy any injustice he might commit-and
satisfaction is much more easily obtained in this
way than by suit at law.
THE EXAMINATION OF HoFFMAN.-The examina-

From Washington


WASHINGTON, July 1S.-Owing to certain misrep
resentations of the public conduct of Gen. Degol
laso, the Liberal Chief, which have recently ap
peared in some of the newspapers, several gentle
men, sojourning in this city, and thoroughly ac
quainted with Mexican affairs, have prepared a
brief history of events since January, 1885, which
relieves him from all uncharitable imputatons and
shows him to be true patriot, constantly striving
amid accumulated difficulties, for the welfare of his
distracted country.
The written opinions of Attorney General Black
who were damaged by the action ofthe Naval Board,
but afterward restored through the examination
OF the revisery Courts, have in several instances,
been brought to light recently. The subject has
by this time lost its general interest, but an
example of the manner in which reparation has
been made, the case of Captain Ramsey may be
stated The opinion was, that not one fact or cir
cumstance was proved against him that weighed a
feather when placed in the scale against the over
wheming weight of evidence in his favor; and it is
further stated ''if there be in or out of the
seaman and an accomplished officer, Capt. Ram sey
may boldly claim to be that man."
There were fourteen thousand six hundred and
forty orders on the Post-Otiice Department for
postage stamps for the second quarter of 1859,
ting to 81 1866 9S2 and twelve thousand four
hundred and eighty for the second quarter of 1860,
amounting to 81 $751; ,359. Decrease in the number
of orders, two thousand one hundred and sixty,
being about II per cent. Increase in the value of
postage stamps issued S366379 being about % per
cent. This reduction in the amount of labor on
ing each Office with the full amount required for its
quarterly supply, as nearly as it be calculated
and forbidding Postmasters from making several
orders on the same quarter.

THE RAILROADS OF THE SoUTH.-Thirteen of the
Southern States have l6,S28 miles ofrailway, 794
ing in building and equipment 235, 800, ,S42. Nothing
can give more forcible idea of the growing i'm
portance of the Southern States of the Union than
a survey of their immense railroad system. There
is too numerous class of persons, resident in the
Northern States, who from defective information
or perverted party statements have adopted most
erroneous Impressions as to the commercial status
of the vast section of country located south OF
Mason and Dixon's line. They pride themselves
on the idea that all commercial enterprise of the
country has by some unknown means centered
amongst the Northern people. 1t is settled fact
in their minds that the Southern States are half a
century behind the advanced civilization of the rest
of the Union and that the region ofcountry is in
together raw and undeyeloped condition. The
railroads of the South, however, are standing
refutation against all such hita
Ledger.

be removed by an exhaust-pump, or displaced by

for the return trip.
The same paper also says: well established
wine merchant with plenty of funds, has deter
mined to establish house in Norfolk; and we learn
that gentleman of sufficient will open
wholesale dry goods establishment in city at
early day. These are some of the results of the
Lone Star enterprise, which has done more in the
way of turning attention to the facilities and suita
bleness OF Norfolk as a shipping port, than any
other scheme that has been started or originated
for many years.

Lordship at my outset, 'My Lord, / wish to pro-
pose to you the commencement of this discussion,
this simple resolution, to be adopted before we go
further, namely, that the question at issue bettoeen
your country and mine shall be settled amicably; and
that the enemies of the injttutions and religion of
both shall not be allowed the delight of seeing both
doing their utmost to destroy each other.'" With
the deepest emotion, Lord Ashburton replied: ''I
heartily accept the resolution" and at the same
time prasped Mr. Websters hand across the table.

The LAW LIpEL.-The suit instituted by the
Hon. John p Hale, of New Hampshire, against
tne u Boston Courier for libel, in copying from the
new OK Times certain structures on his public
career, Will present to the judges and Jurors of

the whole country is interested. The question to
be determined is, simply, the right of the public
their official capacity, and the protection given by
the law of libel to individuals in their private char
acter and relations of lite. The Senator from New
Hampshire has placed himself by his public acts in
position to have his motives scrutinzed; and the
press would be faithless to the people, if it did not
hold him and his acts high up before the bar of
public opinion. If the result of such discussion and
exhibition be the consignment of Mr.. Hale to OBJ
scurity, the loss of public respect he has only
to blame himsef-Pha. Pennsyluanian.

Count then led off, but failed to make it tell.
Racker plays with great care, and soon gets
nearly even, when dispute arose in regard
to q count made by his adversary in which
case he gets very much excited and showed
signs of fight The game keeper, however,
settled the dispute, and harmony was again
restored Count then made run Of fifteen
points, when Racker in return made beauti
ful run of l6 points, the largest yet made bv
either. Several shots were made bv each
without much change in the game, when
Count getting his cue to bear made a run of
&c points, the largest yet made in the game.
Bets were now freely offered two to one on
Count. The betting was now quite lively
and great excitement prevailed throughout
the house as to the result of the game
Racker appeared somewhat nervous, but not
withstanding, he showed signs of game and
put in scientific punch lick with telling
