JUDgB CHAPLINE.

In another column will be found a COM
munication, written by a talented and popular
citizen of Jefferson. refuting the charge made
by 81, through this paper, against Judge
Joseph A. Chapline, in regard to the action
of the grand jury last fall, which charge was
founded on published letter of Edmund
Chambers, Esq. Our correspondent, for
whom we have the highest respect, we arc
sorry to see, seems to think that we have per-
nitted our paper to be used as medium of
personal vituperation. The charges made
against Judge Chapline We deemed, if true,
of vital importance to the people of the whole
county and matter of public interest. and as
such permitted them to enter our columns,
aside from any;personal malice whatever; and
have no reason to suppose that 81, wrote his
article with any such feeling, but simply as
public duty. We are glad however, that
Judge G. has found so worthy friend to de-
feud him, and cordially give place in our
columns to his communication. As public
journalists, we always aim to receive into our
paper whatever may be of interest to the pub
lie at large, aud exclude all personal matters
whatever, unless paid for as advertisements.
At the same time, our columns are ever open
TO an honorable reply to anything contained
therein. We aim for the right and the right
only, and if We err it is undersigned.

rFo, the Spirit OF JefTerson !

MesSrs. Editors In your issue of March
cd. your correspondent III. has done Judge
Joseph A. Chapline signal and undeniable in
justice. The charge preferred by your corr
respondent against the Judge that the
grand jury reported to him that it was
almost unanimous in the finding of in
dictments against certain parties mentioned
in the communication of N" who dis
charged them before they finished their work.
''abruptly on purpose" is wrong. The facts
are in contrnvantion of the statements made
by your correspondent on the authority of
Edmund Chambers. that Judge Chapline had
official information from the grand jury that
they were engaged in any especial work,
but the grand jury as is usual, after the COM
pletion of their labors came cnlWntnrily into
court, and announced that they had
3o2eter1 their work. and upon that annunciation
the Judge, as he was bound to do. discharged
them. 1t was not done abruptly" and with
any purpose" but the grand jury on that oc>
casion was discharged in the ordinary and
usual manner. It is much to be Iamentcd,
Niessrs. Editors, that your paper should be
selected as the medium of personal vitupera-
ton. 1t impairs the usefulness and influence
of your Paper, while great injustice, for the
time being at least. is done to the parties as
sailed The adoption of the undeviative rule,
that all communications of a personal char
acter should he signed by the party prefer
ing the charges and paid for as advertise
ments would go very far towards tho correc-
ton of this error One WHO KNows
p S.-With the view of ascertaining the
infexible impartiality and correct deueanor
of Judge Chapine's official conduct, you have
only to refer to every party who has had bu-
siness in court during his term of Office, and
to the entire bar, of this and every other
county in his circuit.
