THE STEWART LIBEL CASE.

The case of Mr.. George Knapp, senior
proprietor of the st. Louis Repn0ttca".
who was arrested in this city on Friday
night last on charge Of having print
ed a libellous article on Mr.. Stewart In
the Republican, came before justice
Bowling at the Tombs Police Court tins
morning. Mr.. Richard T. Colburn, one
of the associate EDITOR of the New York
Tribune, who was arrested on charge
of having written the libellous article.
waived an examination, and the papers
in his case have been sent before the
Grand Jury.
Mr.. Stewart was accompanied this
morning by ex-Judge Hilton and Mr.
Knapp was defended by Richard O'Gor-
man and Mr.. McKeon.
Mr.. Hilton said that, OH beh If of Mr..
Stewart, he was prepared to go on with
the prosecution of the complaint against
Mr.. Knapp.
Mr. O'iiorman addressed the court.
IL might be proper, he remarked, to say
something which would possibly relieve
the counsel and the court of the neces-
sity Of going OH with the Investigation.
The defendant is President of an incor-
porated company which publishes the
Missouri Republican. That paper was,
unfortunately, misled by correspon-
dent in the city of New York, and
through the inadvertence of one OF its
own officials, its confidence was so far
abused as to publish an article defaming
the character of Mr.. Stewart. The Pre-
sident of the company believes the
article to be untrue and calumnious.
Surprising the article would prove
discomfort to Mr.. Stewart, the editors
| of the Republican subsequently pub
lished what 1t was supposed would be
q satisfactory retraction. That ar
ticle, however, it appears, was not SO
Hcan, Mr.. O'Gorman said, had never
heretofore been made the medium OF
calumny and the proprietOrs were ready
to repair the harm in as public manner
as the harm had been inflicted. The de-
| PENDANT, therefore, now publicly re-
| tracted the assertions relative to Mr..
| Stewart, and the counsel was anxious
that it should be known that the retrac-
ton was freely made before his Honor
in open court He was sorry that the
defence had not been given an oppor-
tunity to make the retraction without
| its having appeared to have been forced
that amends that might be considered
satisfactory should be made through the
columns Of his paper. Mr.. O'Gorman
said that while due allowance was made
for the outraged feelings of Mr.. Stewart,
he trusted that the statement that the
article was true and uncalumniOus
would be received in satisfaction. Mr..
Knapp attached the deepest blame on
the action of the correspondent in New
York.
Mr.. Hilton said that the Iibellous arti-
Gle was published OH the 18th Of Janu-
ary, and OH the 26th Of the same month

! LOYALTY AT THE SoUTH-The newspapers of the
extreme stripe engaged in picking out of the testi
mony before the reconstruction committee such state
fents as show evidences of feeling of discomfort and
dissatisfaction the part of the people of the SOUTH
which, to US, seems to be Improbable business.
| All we can expect of them-all we have any right
to demand of them-is submission to the laws. The
hoheaded returned soldier will vent his spite IN words
Tor me the planter whose home has been destroyed

obedience to the laws and fulfill all the conditions the
government imposes upon them it is all can expect

The extremists who are insisting that they shall be
held in state of bondage until they do love US ask
what guarantees have we that they will not again
rebel?
l. Their lack of strength Were they strong enough
to again rebel, they would not have stopped when they
did They laid down their arms because they could
no longer WELD them-now they without arms and
dsoEgansed, while the government is stronger than
ever.
2. Their interests They are literally ruined and
must have term of peace to rebuild their broken
fortunes.
They are made of the same material as other men,
They fought for their idea-they lost, and they
making the best of what is left them As a matter of
course they will of the wreck all they can

force them to obedience, but not even bayonets can
take them farther
It makes no difference to the government on the
people what they think, that their acts do not run
counter to the laws made for them.
The old feeling will die out and the ancient love
for the government will take its place. and this result
will be reached before the present generation fades
away, if prudent councils prevail at Washington.
