- STEAMBoATNEN ON THE RAMPAGE
Yesterday morning the steamer Mountaineer,
from Fort Benton, arrived st our levee, and
commenced taking on a lot Of government
freight left here some time ago, and destined
for For, Sally. Four of the white deck hands
desNed to leave the boat At this place, Civ
ing as reason that they had engaged for =
trip from st. Louis to Fort Benton and back,
and they do not vsat to make another trip
up the river. Gut Of this matter difficulty
arose, ending in . fight between the four
hands who wished to quit, and the balance
Of the boats crew, principally "Americao
Citizens" led on BY The mate aud some 9TH
srs occupying = little higher grade than
"roust abouts,' which for some time threat
ened serious consequences. The fight COM
minced at the foot Of Pearl street, aad was
very lively, the principal weapons used be-
ing brick bats, clubs, stones, and other
"blackguard things but, although the eight
was fierce and furious, no one was seriously
hurt. One Of the boat party fred one shot
from e revolver, the ball passing up Pearl
stree, and in close proximity to several cit
liens About this time it began to get too
hot for the 'deser.ers." and they beat hasty
retreat, closely pursued by the victorious par
ty. Three Of the fellows managed to eude
their pursuers, but the fourth was less for
tuna,e. He WAS overtaken on the vacant
lot adjoining Smith Il Moore's drug store,
and being completely exhausted by his long
'aoe, he was easily brought to the ground
by the niger WHO was the frs, to come up
with him. After he was down, he received
several kicks about the head and face from
two black and one white niger. This end
ed the general fight, but later in the day
there were several small skirmishes and QUIZ
ct knock downs between the beligerent par
ties In one Of these the mate was sent of
hi, pins by a smashing blow from broad
shouldereI deck hand and in another deck
hand was " knocked cut OF time and nearly
into eternity, by murderous blow from a
slung-shot.
The affair throughout was most Disgrace
full and brutal, and one which we hope may
never be repeated in our city
Sheriff Griffin and Dept Marshell were
active in the discharge Of their duties, and
SUI ceeded in arresting the ring LEADERS in
the riot. The prisoners were examined be-
fore Justice Hoskins, and all fined in pro-
portion to he degree Of their erimiuality.

In this world, and especially in this teeming
age ofit when there is so much to criticise
and so many ready and willing to engage in
the work whether they are qualified for it or
not it is quite desirable that all should know
how sharp the pen of criticism may be made
and to what extent it may be used. In the
first place we should bear in mind that there
is very wide difference between lust criti-
cism and indiscrminate putting, for the latter
has become rife in the land and quite siekening
in its Details while the former is more SPAR
ingly used, and not so well paid for.
An interesting case has recently been decid-
throws some light on the subject, and shows
to what extent criticism may be carried with
out rendering the critic liable to penalties as
the publisher of q libel. DIR. Straus last spring
brought an action for libel against the Athe-
neum based ON critique appearing in that
journal on work called "The Old Ledger"
This book was said by the AttenGum to be
characterized by 'vulgarity, profanity and in
delicacy, bad French, bad German and bad
English, and abuse ofpersons living and dead .
This was severe criticism, but the publisher of
the Atheneuna considered it no more than the
book deserved. He admitted the publication
and pleaded justification. The plaintiffs coun.
Gil was too shrewd to bring the book in eyi-
dence to enable the Court to decide whether
the criticism was just; but the council for the
defendant read some extracts from it which
convinced the opposing council of the propriety
of withdrawing the case from the iury and al
lowing it to drop.
The Auien@um commented on the result in
very trenchant style. 1t said eve found
the book abominable, and said so. Our read
ers were satisfied with our verdict, since 1t is
alleged that the sale was instantly arrested.
1t seems a few extracts from the book con-
WINGED the Bench, the Bar, the jury and ev-
erybody in Court and even Sergeant Bullen-
tine hin self that the case was hopeless. He
avon beoped in Difference to hi own feelings
as n Gentleman and to the credit of his pro-
fesson to be allowed permission to abandon
the case. 1t would have been well for him il
he had read the book before he commenced
the libel suit-a duty which he certainly
owed to himself, to the Bench to the Bar, and
to the community generally" But it seems

.i'''' Dr' Straus was not satisfied with the sud
deh close ofthis and brought anatbor s,;t bav.
ing, we suppose engaged other connsol Of mora
easy professional virtue. Extracts c.o,,, a, :
book convinced the Court and irr,, -,
cr'ticishi was just which had been leyelled
at it.
The Lord Chief Justice thus defined tbo lo,u
ON the point:

and through literature, TO good taste and cool.
ly feeling, to morality and to religion, thai
works published for general perusal should be
such as were calculated TO improve, and not tC
demoraize the pu lie mind; and therefore il
was of vast Importance that criticism, SO Ion.
as it was fair and reasonable and just, should
be allowed the utmost Latitude, and tlat The
most unsparing censure OF works Whlch Were
fairly snbject To it should not be held lbellous
A man VINO publishes book challenges eriti
cism; he rejolces in il if it tends to has praise
and If 1t is likely to lead to increase the clrcu
latlon OF his work-and therefore he must sub
mt 10 1t If it is adverse, so long as 1t Is not
prompted by malice characterized by such
reckless disregard of fairness as indicates mall
ice towards its author.
Ihe above is a clear statement of the rule
that should be observed, and protects the writ
er as far as protection is merited. The pub
Usher or author of an obscene or scandalons
book merits the severe lashing of Just crit
cism. We are all aware that there are nub-
lished some books not quite bad enough to ex-
pose the authors or publishers to the penalties
of the law, and yet their tendency is to demor-
alize the community. Such cases can only be
dealt with by criticism, and no matter how Sc
we're it is so long as it is not prompted by NAL
ice or characterized by such reckless disre-
gard of fairness as indicates malice towards the
author" The interest of the public demands
that the critic should be allowed the utmost
latitude. Let him "cry aloud and spare moi"
in all such cases. While his withers are un-
wrung let the CALLED jades vince.

80. Francis

Is the name of tributary of the st. John
river about three hundred miles from its
mouth. 1t iorms the boundary between
Maine and New Brunswick from its mouth to
boundary Lake, distance of thirty miles. IL
is nearly or quite one hundred miles by the
usual route from Presque Isle to the st. Fran
els, and our friends who think they have
reached the jumping-oh place when they ar
rive at our .illage, will find they a. yet some
distance from that uncertain loc llity. There
are two routes by which one can reach The
upper st John. The shortest is via Ashland,
thence over the Fish River road to Fort Kent,
but the road is usually in bad condition, and
what is gained in distance is lost in horse
flesh. The road through Caribou village to
Violette Brook, thence up the st. John
through the Madawaska or French settlement
to Fort Kent, is much travelled and usually in
good condition.
: Fort Kent, the most northarly village in
Maine. is situated at the mouth OF Fish kiyer,
and has made but little progress since our
first visit seven years ago. THIS was fo,mer-
ly military post, when there were fears of
invasions from our bluenose neighbors, and
Uncle Sam was actually induced to build
fort and bloclz-house, and keep watcbful eye
Britishward to guard against surprise Inc

Its contiguity to the Province ofNew Bruins
