The Herald under Censure-Complain ts
Answered.

Editors abroad and patrons near
home are critising the Herald because
in the making up the editorial articles
are mixed in with selected matter,
the outsides and inner alike mixed,
and the editorials not loaded. Edit
orial friends think we should follow
the craft rules for their convenience,
and our readers affirm their right to
distinguish some way which are and
which are not the editors coin. Says
a reader, " l am only able to Judge
which are the Herald editorials by
your well known STYLE" A friendly
editor with whom we exchange
writes "M by not lead and make up
in order? Impossible TO distinguish
original from selected, except from
the credit which in much borrowed
matter is lost. In no other paper but
tho Herald is editorial worked on the
outside pages"
We explain: Until recently the
Herald editorials were loaded, by
which is meant that thin plates OF
metal were put between the lines OF
type, giving greater space between
printed lines. This is done to dis
tinguish articles written by the edit
or from copied matter.
But half the time the leads fel
short and ordering supplies was neg
lected. Also, it often happened that
the printers had to make room foi
original by unloading part o
the loaded type. At last We
we consented that, inasmuch as tht
aggregate Of reading matter would b'
Increased. the leading might go un'
done. We may however resume the
leading Of editorial matter. And a,
10 making up editorial matter for the
outside pages, we find it indeed {
convenient practice. AS q profus6
journalist, our latitude liberal and
bral ching over all the fields in range
Of nineteenth century radical, we
could not be content with the inner
columns of q newspaper. Political
economy, metaphysics, practica
science, religion, morals, history-alI
these and more, whether we know
little or much Of them, must be dis
covered, Analysed, generalized in the
Herald, besides the usual every day
affairs.
This week will DO found three OF
four columns Of editorial on the on,
side of the Herdld which could fino
no room within. The article, ".>igns
of Coming EUentS &c, was compiled
from a new book entitled Nigh
Scenes of the Bible" the work latel)

A JURY CASE Another illustration
Of the beauties of trial by Jury oc-
Cured recently IN New York John
Real, "a ruftian OF the lowest type,
having attempted to kill police Of
ticer, was arrested, but released on
bail, and in open court he threatened
that he would kill the officer a. soon
as got out Of prison. He was releas
ed Oh the 10Th Of July. On the 23d
he shot the officer then walked up
to his body and shot him again, and
then, when arrested, said "he had
shot Smedick. and if he was not dead,
it was not his fault-he had tried TO
kill him." Yet for this attrocious
and clearly premeditated murder the
jury recommended the scoundrel to
mercy! lfjuries continue to behave
as some have recently, trial by jury
will soon become palladium Of the
liberties" of scoundrels only, and all
decent people will demand some
change.

Who ARE THE FooLs.-One who
has taken great pains to find who are
the patrons of vulgar literature, mock
auctions, lottery gift enterprises,
quack doctor advertisements, &c,
has discovered that the fools are
the strong minded and half edu-
Gated men and women-the shrewd,
keen in trade, brave in war, cold in
faith men. Aud it is such especially
who patronize spiritualism and kin,
dred impnslures. 1t is not the igno-
rant and depraved, the unlettered, the
ignorant Irish, but those who have
learned T. read and write, with some
grammsr and having a general self
acquired knowledge Of the common
branches and sciences who support
and feed almost entirely these city
enterprises aud travelling impostures
No class of people are SO weaF and
gulliblc as the half educated aud
strong minded. Those more igno-
rant are protected by their suspicious
ness. The educated classes of course
are rarely victims, because they only
patronize standard objects and men
of we'll known responsibility. "A
little learning is dangerous thing"
said Pope. And, so far as supporting
impostures is concerned, trner prop
osition was never laid down. Yet
when is comes to choosing between
persons of little learning and those
without any learning in the rudi-
ments of knowledge, the first are to
be preferred in every sense, except
for The gullibility which belongs to
them from cultured curiosity.
