State Courts, and the Supreme Court Of the

that decision would be final, and no effort to

LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR. We sup
pose it is settled-and rightly too
that Gen. P. T. Washburn is to be
the next Governor of Vermont. Than
him our state has no nobler man, and
every one acquainted with his history
will say amen to the proposition to
make him Vermont'S Chief Executive
Officer. That settled, who shall be
Lieutenant Governor Lamoille Co..
says Hendee. We say DR.. L. Rich
mond of Orleans county. He would
make as good presiding officer as
Vermont has had for long period
and would add as much dignity to the
Office as any man within our knowl-
edge. If the Office is to be a reward
of pure merit he will stand as fair
a chance as the best. If it is to be
sold he has no show at all. He is far
too honorable to buy such a position
and we hope he has no friends that
would advise to such a course.

after he has had it year after year,
and conned it's words of wisdom and
dreamed over its inculcations Of hon

while holding Uncle Sans commission
as Selling officer. In short he is a
skunk Of the most offensive odor.
Geo. J. Kelley of West Derby. is

to the amount of seven dollars. and
for which he has paid US not red

Of his stamps. We mourn exceeding

we want the money for one R. NJ

LIBEL SUIT DECIDED.-The some
what celebrated case of John Gregory
VS.. Hiram Atkins, for libelous and de-
famatory words uttered in the col
umns of the Argus and Patriot some
two years since, was decided at the
late term of the Washington county
court. 1t has been in court about
two years, occupied eight full days in
its trial-resulting in verdict for
the plaintiff of $742,92, with costs,
which will amount to about a thous-
and more. Such termination was
to have been expected where the out
side clamor was so great that the
case could not have been tried solely
on its merits-not that they hated
Gregory less but Atkins more. The
charges made by Atkins, and upon
which the suit was based, were of a
grevious character and he should have
been certain that he could prove them
else kept silence. What the charges
were we do not now remember, but
think one of them was to the effect
that Gregory was living in state
bordering upon adultery with a wo-
man not his lawfully welded wife
We are surprised at the smallness of
the verdict, for if the statement of At
kins was pure calumny and unsup-
ported by facts the $4,000 asked for
by Gregory was even too small sum
to be awarded him. If on the con-
trary Atkins had good grounds for
his words the verdict was too large
so the verdict was wrong any way.
Publishers should be careful how they
pounce upon people and be sure
that they can prove all they utter and
more too. This IS and alpUayS has
been our platform. Atkins intimates
in his last paper that the case will be
tried again. That is our advice to
him.

"Hi." Atkins, the traducer of the nasty Argus.
has finally got some little justice administered to
him by jury of twelve men of his country. In
the suit Gregory VS.. him for libel at the last Tor
presently term of the Washington Co. Court, the
jury gave the plff. a verdict of S742. The costs
will amount to a large sum. The suit cannot
have cost less than $2000-in our Judgment
Freedom of the press does not mean utter reck-
lessness and we are glad it is So That sheet has
long thriven upon the garbage of personal defa-
nation, and the public owe the Hon. John Greg
DRY debt of gratitude for giving it at least one
expensive lesson. How much it will benefit
that utterly reckless sheet we will not undertake
TO predct.-Nesosdealer.
What the Newsdealer says of Hi
ram Atkins and his paper, is about so,
but that E. B. Sawyer should say it is
superlatively ridiculous. He talk of

added, "Mr. Turner, preach against

lately, while on visit to his relatives,
settled debts against him of seventeen
