Radical 1apers, at the North, have no
patience with that Southern Radical
sheet, the Atlanta Georgia. Era, for eN-
posing the lying accounts OF. pretended
assassinations Of Union men i'll that
State. Their last horror over the Era
is for upholding the Grand jury of Bibb
County for indicting one Swayze for in
citing to riot. Swayze is proprietor
and editor of 4 radical sheet, and called
for very violent measures against the
people of 4 neighborhood in which 4
Union man might be killed. The Era
in defense says:
"A greater villain than Swayze never
cut throat or scuttled ship. The ar
ticle published in his paper, upon which
his indictment was founded, was one OF
the most horrible that ever appeared in
the press Of any civilized country. 1t
was too savage almost for belief, had
we not had the evidence before our eyes.
1t recommended the laying waste of the
country for five miles round the spot
where Republican was murdered, the
burning OF all the houses and the slaugh-
ter Of men, women and children within
that limit This is the creature that has
been indicted b fore the Grand Jury OF
Bibb County, and no Christian man, no
man who has spark Of humanity in
him, will dare say that the action was
unjust"
The Radical sheets North viii now
begin to swear that the Era is 4 Copper
head sheet, although it supports Grant
and is the official paper publishing the
United States laws and the advertise
ments Of the departments. The Clcye-
land Leader says it is Il Democratic pa
per. SO distastcful is the truth to that
organ Of Radicalisln.

Green presiding, last week, the case of
II. L. Chittenden against Wm. Trevitt
d Co. an action to recover damages
for an alleged libel printed in The Crisis
was finally disposed of and dismissed
at the cost of the plaintiff. The case
grew out of an article in The Crisis last
October, in which it was intimated that
a United States Commissioner was cor
ruptly running ,black-mail mill on
State street" to the detriment and an
noyance of citizens. Upon this allega-
ton suit was brought to recover DANA
ges in the sum of twenty thousand dol
lars The defendants filed an answer,
pleading justification, and asserting still
more damaging charges, and to support
this answer summoned 4 large number
of witnesses. After several postpone
ments, the case came up last week upon
a motion of the plaintiff to dismiss the
case at his, plaintiffs, cost. Thus an
other attempt to intimidate the press by
menace of damages has ANONYMOUSLY
