Gold Hill daily news. [volume] (Gold Hill, N.T. [Nev.]) 1863-1882, 1871-03-17

A Bill. in equity was filed about a
year ago IN the United States Circuit
Court for New York, by the English
shareholders In the Erie Railroad
against the Directors Of that Company,
and the respondents demurred gener-
ally, so that the whole matter In dis
ptte between the litigants was brought
to an issue Of law. A few days ago, 1t
Is stated, the case was called up In the
u. S. Circuit Court, not before the Cir
cult Judge, but before the District
Judge sitting in the place Of the for
mer. As n eason for this substitution
the District Judge stated that the Cir
cut Judge, beinga stakeholder In the
Erie Railroad, had declined to hear the
argument or sit In the case. The New
York journals, commenting on the
above circumstance. suggest that the
Circuit Judge should have sold his
shares In Erie, and asks whether all
the Judgeswill now buy shares In that
Company, and thus render themselves
incompetent to administer justice In
this dispute.
Gold Hill daily news. [volume] (Gold Hill, N.T. [Nev.]) 1863-1882, 1871-03-17

ANYBODY can soil the reputation of
an individual, however pure and
cliaste, by uttering a suspicion that his
enemies will believe and his friends
never hear OF. A putt Of idle wind
can take n million of the seeds Of n
thistle and TO q work of mischief
which the husbandman must labor long
to undo. the floating particles being
too fine to DO seen and too light to be
stopped. Such are the seeds of slam
der, so easily sown, so difficult to he
gathered up, and yet so perniclous in
their fruits. The slanderer knows that
many wind will catch up the plague
and become poisoned by his insinua-
tions, without ever seeking the anti
dote. No reputation can refute n
sneer, nor any human skill prevent the
mischief.
