When plaintiff starts to recover $4,000 in
a libel suit against newspaper, and the jury
give him $3.50, it is easy to perceive that his
feelings must be more numerous than satisfac-
tory and yet, in nine such cases out of ten.
the lesser sum is a great deal more than he Is
equitably entitled to, upon fair estimate OF
any real loss suffered by him through the pub
LEGATION. Perhaps The Baltimore American, just
cast in $3.50 for libel, would always be will
ing to pay that sum for the sake of exposing
and denouncing a fragrant wrong; we know
that in some cases. requiring sharp correction.
we should consider such expenditure upon our
own part extremely moderate. At the same
time, an injury to character which can be
atoned for by the payment of $3.50 is really no
injury at all and the only result of such
finding may be to saddle an innocent defendant
with COSTS

Cured in four provinces. Both in the South

The Express on Wednesday was very angry
with us because we found fault with the white
rufians who tried to kill a negro in our
streets the day before. "0h, yes" said our lit
tie friend, " that s just like The TRIBUNE's
"logic; all on one side" But yesterday The
Express found out that THE TRIBUSE's one
side was, rs it always is, the right side, and
joined with us in declaring that the negro was
perfectly justifable in killing one of his as
salants, and the white gang was an Infamous
nuisance. Really, with The Express Directing

The Republican State Central Committee acted
wisely i'm the nomination of Gen. Franz Sigel
FOR Secretary of State. His name at the head
of our ticket will, we feel confident, add great
strength to it, Gen. John c. Robinson having
been constrained, by reasoniof i'll health, to de-
cline the nomination for State Engineer and
Surveyor, his place has been worthily filed by
the nomination of the Hon. William b. Taylor
of Oneida County. Mr.. Taylor is well and IA
voraby known to the people of the State and
Is far from being a novice in the management

The news from Paris has an air of revOlu-
ton. 1t is announced that the Deputies of the
Left will proceed to the Legislative Chamber
at the legal time of session, and protest that, as
the Emperor has violated the Constitution,
they are absolved from their oaths of allegi-
ance Such an event would illustrate the brittle
character alike of the French Constitution and
the French oath. Napoleon has broken one as
often as the other; and as for the main body
of his liege subjects, they are sworn to him as
long as lie succeeds, and no longer. Under
Just such conditions they have sworn to any
number of regimes.

Decidedly the raciest reading in our local
news this morning is an account of visit TO
Mayor Hall by Committee of citizens from
Yorkyile and Harlem. Their purpose was to
urge immediate steps to increase means of
communication with the lower part of the city,
by extending stage lines, compelling the build

more trains and more stopping places on the
Harlem road, the use of dummy engines,
and any other feasible improvements. But it

YE CANNOT GATHER GRAPES or THORNS.
Since the time when The World turned from
religious paper into an organ of Tammany.
and especially since the time when it sought,
on the very eve of Presidential election, to
abandon its candidates as means OF electlng
its ticket, it has lost the power of astonishing
u.s. Even its proposition that, as means
of securing honest legislation, we should unite
with il, though certainly crazy enough to send
anybody else who should suggest it to- Bed
lam, will not seriously surprise the public any
more than the latest and most unexpected
somersaut Of the clown in the circus. Here is
The Worlds modest proposal:
"Wil not THE TRIBUNE oppose The World in its
efforts to secure party responsibility in the State Legis
ture But II THE TRIBUNE desires TO put end TO the
corruption and annual scandal at Albany let upon
It's party to allow the Democrats to carry tho close
senatorial districts IN order that there may DO
no doubleheaded body, but that one party may
DO responsible for tho entire State administration,
legislative as well executive. THE TRIBUNE Is well
that all efforts to arrest this evil at Albany when
the Republicans had control OF the legislative and exocu
tive offices proved futile and that the other hand tho
evil increased from year to year There Is now oppOr
tunlty try the Democracy, and wo ask THE TRIBUNE
to unite with and give the Democratic party q trial"
No, thank. you; We had rather not. The
Democracy has been tried-in no double
headed body, but with one party responsible
for the entire administration. The New Court
House, the City Council, Tammany Hall, the
New-York Judiciary, are samples of the result
But The World itself shall tell us how it
worked:
"TnE TRIBUNE publishes a statement that the editor Of
The World did not ut the last Presidential election
This is false. But he saw that d the operation OF

cunning frauds such corruptionists OF the Ring VIM
NJ Tweed and Oakley Hall cut down below its level the
rightful vote OF the Electors OF Horatlo Seymour"
The Worlds manners are bad, but for once
it was right in its main averment. With one
party responsible for tho entire administra-
ton, such shameless and cunning corruption
lists of the Ring as William NJ Tweed and
Oakley Hall are the most conspicuous and inn
portant product. Unite with The World to
extend the same system throughout tho State
no, we thank you.

the corruption and annual scandal at Albany

ton, IL seems to us most strikingly pre-
sented in the cases of the privateers
Sumter and Alabama. The former was
allowed to enter and sail away
from a Spanish port with three prizes
unmolested before Spain had recognized the
Confederacy, and in the same way the Spanish
Government is believed to have treated the
Alabama. Here, then, is home precedent
where most a precedent is wanted, and if it did
not then serve to injure Spain. we trust it will
not now serve to defeat Cuba.

Another Confederate hero is about to carry
his laurels into academic shades college in
Virginia opened its arms to Gen. Lee; an edu-
cational institute in Alabama accepted Raphael
Semmes; and now it is announced that the
University of Nashville expects to receive Gen.
Joseph E. Johnston. Already the hat
has been handed around, and we are as
sured that five years. salary at 5000

to provide suitable recompense, in his new oc-
cupation, for the slillful adversary who gave
Gen. Sherman such an amount of trouble. We
do not know with certainty what scholastic
accomplishments are required of "prex" in
Southern latitudes. It is to be hoped that the

excitement of a novel position, he should ejacu-
late Order arms! officers to the front and

the General has preserved an acquaintance with
ancient languages we hope he will impress upon
Southern youth the urgent appeals Of Demos
themes for union among States, and the
vigorous denunciatiOns of Cicero against con-
spiracy. He might also offer a description Of
his own efficient strategy of delay betweep tho
Cumberland and the Chattahoochee as q COM

ENGLISH PROTECTION.

Some English opinions and facts elsewhere
printed, testify to the reawakening OF pro-
tective opinion in England mainly consequent
upon the shortcomings of the cOtton-worlSing
districts. 1t is variOusly complained that wages
have decreased while foreign factories have
increased, and that the pestilent anti-free-
trade heresy" taints q large portion OF the
Lancashire population. TO the underlying
grievance that Engands loss may be Amer
icas gain, Sir Edward Watidn endeavors
to reply by project of Canadian free trade OF
sufficient volume to drown our native manu-
features. He would have Canada adopt one
general custom house system by which English
goods should be admitted 80 nearly free that
frontier smuggling would soon undermine our
highest walls of tariff; and furthermore, he
would have Mr.. John Bright, our stanchest
friend and admirer, sent to treat with us.
Mr. John Bright will Of course be heartily well
come to a country which, saving free trade, Is
much after his own heart. But under penalty OF
failure, he will bring no such notion with him
as the Watkin scheme for running Canada at
the expense of the United States in order to
benefit Great Britain. Of what avail can
it be TO the Canadians to admit the
deluge to, drown us9 If they need
free trade it is with their neighbors, the United
States; if they need protection, it is against
Europe. Their demand, in part for consoida-
ton and in part for nationality and indie
pendence, seems to us q reaching forward to
these propositions.

Rather a singular suit has just been deter
mined in the U. S. Circuit Court at Detroit.
1t appeared that one Alfred Tippetts formerly
resided at Bayfield,, Wis. Tippetts was what
you may cali most disagreeable and unDopu-
lar character. He used violent and unhand-
some language to the worthy citizens; he
threatened peoples lives; he insulted the ladies'
SO one day, the citizens of Bayfield, arose en-
maSSe, and, without any warrant therefor, put
Mr.. Tippetts in Jail. Then they held a caucus.
and soemnly voted that Tippetts must
leave town. He was informed of this, and
under duress agreeing to leave, was led hand
cufied to the steamboat, after he had disposed
of his property at a sacrifice, having also been
fined s. and costs for an assault upon some
body. He brought this action against the
principal parties engaged in this remarkable
transaction. and on the stand swore that he
was told that unless he left Bayfield, he would
DO lynched. A sympathetic jury gave him
81 800 damages. Tippetts may not have been
the most agreeable of mortals but he had his
legal rights, and Bayfield, might have found
some better way of inducing him to emisrate.

We once knew schOolmaster who was in
the habit of boxing boys right ear and then
instantly boxing the left, by which process the

process by the statement that a number of
trees in Fairhaven, Mass, which were blown
down by the gale of the 9Th of September,
were last Monday blown back to an upright

the law of compensation. To those who have

fact is of value-especially to the Demo
