THE ERA OF sLANDER.

Evidences are daily multiplying to show
that we are living in an era when a reck-
less disregard for the character and repu-
tation of public and private citizens is
growing common, We might almost say
popular. In the heat of political discus
sion, public speakers and newspapers have
been accustomed to say hard things about
men in public life. Popular taste has
rather demanded abuse OF political oppo-
nents. But the custom of slanderfng
recklessly, private as well as public citi-
Zens seems to be rapidly growing. 1t is not
confined to the press. 1t has latterly
developed in new form. Our readers re-
member the recent serious charges against
two prominent ministers, one at Balti-
more, DIR. Huston, the other at New York.
DIR. Carter. In the former case late de-
velopements seem to indicate that DIR.
Huston was the victem of dastardly con-
spiracy to blast the character of a long life of
ministerial work. In the latter case the
woman who attempted to black-mail DIR.
Carter, an old and estimable Rector, has
now confessed her offence. She is being
prosecuted vigorously and we trust will'be
punished. These are new forms of an cpl
demic that pervades the country. 1t is the
passion to pull down and destroy what is
good. In the political world this work
has been latterly prosecuted with fearful
earnestness. Never before in our history has
there been such wholesale charges against
men in high position and never before, in
our Judgment, has this abuse been more
unwarranted.
The public should lie on its guard. There
is nothing SO valuable to honorable men as
a good character. Riches, worldly honors
and power, all pass away, but a noble life,
an honorable reputation lives long after
the person who has won 1t sleeps in the
grave. Character ought not to be assailed
unless the facts to warrant ii are plain
The public should not assume the truth of
reckless charges unless based upon reason
able proofs. Honorable journals are of
course sometimes imposed upon, but
unfortunately too many editors have
too little regard for Justice, are too
easily deceived or too willing to use
their influence for unworthy purposes.
When public men or private citizens in
positions OF Importance to the public do
wrong, they ought to be exposed 1t is
the duty OF the press to do this, and it is
the duty of the public TO sustain it.
On the contrary, 1t Is one of the most sa-
cred duties of the journalist to defend and
support public and private men who, in
the discharge of their duty, subject them
selves to unjust attacks and ISLANDERS. 1t
is likewise the duty of the reading pnblic
10 sustain the press in such undertakings
Unless this is done, not only will men who
deserve exposure not get it, but men who
ought to be protected and encouraged, will
find themselves exposed TO vituperation
and Islander, with few to defend them.

THE SILK TRADE.

With the rapid increase of population in
the United States, and the consequent in
creased demand for articles in general use,
the facilities for supplying. such demands
increase. The happy policy which has
prevailed in our Government for some
time of fostering and protecting our indus
tries, has multiplied our manufacturing
establishments all over the country to a
wonderful extent, and If this policy should
still be pursued, as we trust it will, our
prosperity in this respect has just begun.
We have been surprised to see in late
article ON the subject in the New York
Ecenin9 Post, to what an extent
the manufacture of silken fabrics is
being carried on in the United States.
More than twenty-five millions of capital
and about sixteen thousand operatives are
engaged in this branch of industry. BY
referring to the census of 1860, it will be
seen that, 1T that time, the whole capital
employed in the manufacture of silk in
this country was 81 $50 800, and the num-
Der of operatives employed, $50 males and
crease in the productive capacity of the
country has added immensely to our
wealth, and must be attended with the
most fiattering results.
There is no good reason why the
manufacture of silk should not be
carried Oh in this country as ex-
tensively as in any III the world. Oul
climate is favorable for raising the silk.
worm, and in the article in the Post, to
which allusion is made above, Eastern
Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio and Southern
Pennsylvania are mentioned as localities
where the experiment has been success
fully tried. The American silk trade il
destined to become "a source of immense
wealth at no distant day.

clifton and Knoxville RaIlroad,

EDITORS CHRONICLE 1t has been SO.
long since our citizens have heard the
whistle on this road that they may ere
this have become alarmed about the safety
OF the Clifton and Knoxville train. Give
yourselves no uneasiness about it, but hold
the signal flag up for her and she will APP
pear upon the south banks of your river
ahead of time. Since my last communica-
ton upon this subject there has been some
new contracts taken. We consider that
we have about eight miles of the grading
under contract with able and responsible
persons. Some of your readers may be
curious to know how the Jefferson county
commissioners are going to pay their con-
tractors when the work is done. So far
they have made private contracts with,
parties able to do the work without ad-
vancing any money and when the work
Is done they have SO much confidence in
this line that they agree to take certificates
OF stock In the road at par for their money,
material and labor spent. ....
From the way the commission are
warrantedin saying that they will by fall
get the entire length of the road from
Clifton to the Sewer county line, eight
miles west of cambridge, under contract
IN the same way, including both grading
and cross-tying. This will make the third
railroad in Jefferson county. 1t has got
TO be SO common up here that the people
think but little more about building a rail-
road than they do good dirt one. We
hope our twin sister Sewer" who seems
to think that TO stick a spade in railroad
Will break everybody up, will not hesitate
any longer about the matter, as 1t Is un--
derstood that the only thing she has been
waiting for was to see if any one was go
ing to help her. And now help comes
right to her county line. Will She now
help herself? If not, the train may run
OH the track here and go by way of Nc
Millan's Station or Caldwell's Iron Mines
and Straw berry Plains.

OIL the names Of the Cooke County Com
missioners. We here give them William

THE NEW HAmpsH1RE ELEcT1oH.

The result Of the election in New Haml-
shire Is oil that could have been desired
by the warInest friend of the government,
or the most ardent supporter of General
Grants Administrator. The convention
which nominated Gov. Straw, endorsed
the Administration, and the
reelection of the President The fight
was carried on from beginning to end UNI
der his ensign, and 1t is to all intents and
purposes an administration victory. 1t is
gratifying to his friends that the victory is
So decisive and unmistakable The fight
has been no ordinary one, Not only the
avowed enemies Of the Republican party
have taken part in the. opposition,
but some of its professed friends
have done all they could have pos
sibly done to insure the election of Yves
ton, on the Democratic ticket. The ill.ad-
vised and ill-timed speeches of certain Re-
publican Senators, have been published ih
pamphlet form and distributed broadcast
throughout the State, as so many indict-
ments against the President. But in the
face of all this, the masses of the party re-
main unchanged. 1t Is evident that they
have confidence ia General Grants hon
esty, whatever ambitious politicians may
say to the contrary. The. result of this
election is a singing rebuke to those who
have been waging bitter personal warfare
against him, and they certainly feel it.
Already politicians are specializing as to
what influence it will have on the future
policy of political parties. Some argue
that it gives strength to the Cincinnati
movement by killing off Democracy and
consigning it out of sight in the contest
There is some pIausibility in this, for I'M
less the cloven foot of Democracy can be
thoroughly conc called, and unless the peo-
Pile are thoroughly convinced that that
party is not iden titled with the so-called
liberal" movement, they had just'as well
hang out their sign-"shall pox." That
party is dead unless it becomes vitalized
in way TO deceive the people. 81
But we cannot see how this victory can
be construed so as to encourage the Davis
movement, the strength of which lies in
the elements of discord in the Republican
party. This decided endorsement of the
President must show malcontents that
their efforts to estrange the people from
him have proven futile and that he is
stronger than ever before. The action of
the intelligent, patriotic voters of gallant
New Hampshire, is a faithful reflection Of
public sentiment in all the States not I'M
der the dominion of kukluX Democracy.
