Lecture ON journalism by the Man
aging Editor of the Tribune,

NEW York, April 4.-Whitelaw Reid,
managing editor OF the New York Til
6ultt, delivered this evening an able lee
ture on journalism, before a large and ap.
preciative audience at the University Of
New York. In reference to libel suits
against newspapers, Ried said he consid.
cred every verdict for libel fairly
obtained against newspaper a benefit to
respectable journalism, No higher ser.
vice could be rendered journalism to-day
than by making 1t responsible for what It
says, and giving tho humblest citizen
whom It's gigantic power may purposely
wrong, easy and cheap justice. My pri-
vate opinion Is that the press of New
York, during some months past, would
have been vestly helped by a libel suit a
day. In speaking Of Independent Jour.
nalism Mr.. Reid said that there should be
no relations whatever between the gov
ernment and press, save honest publicity
on one hand and candid criticism on the
other. Independent. journalism Is the
watchword of the future in the profession,
and under 1t journalism will expand into
a balanced and unfettered development,
ceases to become one.sided in its views
and distrusted, and even Its facts becomes
the master not the tool Of the party, tells
the whole truth, commands general con.
tdence, ceases to be the advocate and
rises to be tho Judge.

COLUMBUS, April AIN the Senate this
morning, a Senate bill to provide for the
incorporation OF an association for the
raising Of fish, was passed.
The question Of amending the temper.
ance laws is still question Of great inter.
est here. The liquor associations of the
State have strong lobby force here all
the time with well appointed headquar.
tiers, where the members Of the Legisla.
ture are always made welcome. A large
delegation Of brewers were in the city last
night looking after the bill to amend the
Adair law. They declare that they will
be satisfied II the law is amended so as TO
require notice to be given before suits for
damages can be brought. They say that
the Adair law has already had a very dc.
pressing interest in their business and
that If the law is amended will win them
the Senate. The Committee on Temper.
ance, after a full consideration of a bill
which proposed 10 amend the law 80 as to
requirea notice, now decided to report
1t back, and recommended its indefinite
postponement, The report will no doubt
call up warm discussion, and a motion
to argue the Committees report will test
the question as to how the Senate
will stand on the amended Adair law.
Both Houses will adjourn tomorrow
morning until next Tuesday. sa-

SPEECH OF DIsRAELr AT MANCHESTER
Disraeli delivered a speech at Manchester
last nigth, In which he eulogized the late
Earl Mayo, and declared that, through
his vigilance, courage and patience he
conspiracies Of American Fenians were
defeated In Ireland. Continuing his com.
parison between British and American
forms Of government, he said the Presi.
dent Of the United States was not a
Sovereign. His position was similar to
that Of an English Prime Minister, and
both were paid o sum which was about
equal TO the income OF flrt.class pro.
fessional man. He then referred to the
difficulty growing out of the Alabama
claims, and pronounced the present situa.
ton Of the controversy iraught with great
danger 10 the relations of the two
countries. After reviewing the past and
present treaty negotiations for settle.
ment, he came to the conclusion that there
was but one course left for England.
Painful as 1t might be, when she received
the American case, with its extravagant
demands, he would have appealed to the
good feeling and good sence of Ameri.
cans, stated the difficulties, and In.
vited o confidential conference, at
which they might be explained.
BE condemned the course Of the
Gladstone Ministry, and admitted that 1t
was impossible for America to recede
from her position in regard to the cues.
tion. He thought that ministerial in.
competence would be seated by the &C.
acknowledgement ol the principle Of indirect
claims, the result whereof must be traught
with the utmost danger to England. Earl
Derby and other prominent gentlemen fol.
lowed in similar speeches.

The FRIDGE.

The bill to lcgalize the subscription Of
Richmond to the bridge terminating on the
north side Of the James river, ut the foot Of
Niuth street, las passed the Senate, and We
cannot doubt its prompt passage by the
House. Ii is impossible to keep Il wall be-
tween the populations Of the two shores
They are inevitably to be one, and we hope
people with crotchets will let the consumma-
ton come at once. Do let Us buckle fortune
on your backs, gentlemen, whether you will
or no. The public benefit OIL both sides the
river will be most decidedly promoted by the
moral effect Of celebrating the scctionalisms
of "north" md south SIDE" These terms
are the tools With which designing and un-
sclslpulous men, rs we'll az naiTow-mindcd
people, work in the way Of defeating mea-
sures of public Importance, and carrying out
little schemes Of obstructing commerce and
levying tribute after the plan of the "shaye-
tail mule system. yrs
Let lis wipe out distinctions Of sides, re-
move all distractions to commerce, and COM
plete the circumference of Richmond from
its business centre on the margin Of the
northern shore of James river. Do that, and
at the same time silence ali conflict of author
ity and harmonic the people Oh both shores,
and an amount of public good, public energy,
and real prosperity will be secured to our
people the extent Of which even the most
enthusiastic advocates Of the measure have
not fully appreciated.
