The CoHgregaonalist newspaper, IN speaking of the
case of the Rev. Stuart Robinson. d. D., who has
brought or will bring action for libel against The
Chicago Post which charged him with an infamous
offense against the lives Of the Northern people
during the Rebellion, says: "Clergymen had better
leave libel suits alone" Possibly; but why give
this advice specially to clergymen There is no class
of men to whom good reputation is of greater im-
pOrtance, and we sorry to say that there Is no
class of whom a certain part of the community is
more willing to believe falsehoOds man,
be he Reverend or Hreverend, must judge for
himself in amatter like this but it is always wise,
especially for clergyman, to think twice. twenty
times twice. before summoning the lawyers to the
support of an assaulted character In the first place,
if he is innocent it would be pleasanter to try the
experiment of living down the lie. In the second
place. clergyman with sufficient professional busi-
ness to warrant him in continuing in the
calling will have no time to spare for the
luxury of lawsuit. Still, we can imag
inc cases which would warrant a slandered
preacher in appealing to the courts. When gross
malignity IN the propagation of a calumny is evil
dent there should be some way of Furnishing its
originator or disseminator; but there are some
aspersions SO malignant and absurd that their OBJ
ject can afford to treat them with contempt. This
is true of all manner of tea-table tittetatle aud
minor gossip to which clergymen are specially ex
posed and concerning which it is the wsest course
for them to maintain at least the appearance of alb
solute ignorance Conemptuous indifference is

WHAT MR. BOUTWELL, MIGHT DO.


The Secretary of the Treasury, no doubt IS
not only o jealous friend of the Administra-

advocate of the reelection of President Grant.
He has it in his power to give that Admins
tration a lift. to promote that reelection, by
doing very simple thing which will COM
mand the hearty appreciation of nearly all the
American People What we ask him to do is
to use the public money lying dead IN ms ra"'s

entertained that they win be attacked by Mexican

The aggregate claims before the Commission are

eral impression Is that searching investigation
has been made OF the troubles on the lower Rio

to learn the proposed line OF action Of the govern
ment regarding these claims The Commissioners
left here to-day for Rio Grande City, by steamer,
to make personal examination Of the localities
Of cattle depredations and further Official inquiry.
General Cortlna has issued O circular, addressed
to the people OF both frontiers, denying completely

LOWELL, Mass, Sept. Q, 1872.
The day opens with great activity on the New
England Fair grounds, which activity Increased
during the forenoon. In the morning there was
scarcely any agricultural implement in the tent
designated for their display; but the arrival of the
large and varied display Of the Ames Plough Com
pany, and many minor contributions, soon gave
show of busy life. 1t Is to be feared that in the
hbitiOn halls there will be deficiency in many de-
partments of domestic manufactures especially in
fabric articles; but the day may mako great
change. No poultry had arrived except
two pairs OF turkeys from Putney vt. Several Dew
ons and Dutch cattle ana Southdown sheep have
arrived to- day, and advices have been received of
the shipment OF others Up to eleven O'Clock to-
day sixty-six horses had been reported on the
grounds many Of them Of the best stock of New

others, Nevns' OF Fearnaught, Jr., and others;
Twitcher with Golddust stock; Charles Moulton's
Dictator. Bartlett's Gray Eagle, Mr.. J. G. Woods
