Judge Lynch's Dec isiOn-The Herald Nis-
understands 1t.
NEW ORLEANS, June II, 1873.
EDITOR Republican,:
Permit me to inquire. through the me-
dunn of your columns, what could have
been the intent of the Herald in publishing g
editoriaIly the following mis-s;atement this
evening:
1t is true the constitution guarantees the
right OF pleading the truth to ali actions OF
libel. But the truth. according TO Lynch.
of tria. and conviction in the First Dis,
trict Court. The Fourth District Cour. has
nothing to do with such inquiries. 1t de-
pends on the First District Court for all its
truth
at is of no consequence" 9uoth Lynch.
''hew much false swearing you may prove
against man; if he has not been convicted
OF the crime known as perjury it Is libel
Ons to impute that crime to him" So it is
lioelOus to say OF the most yir.uous of our
citizens as Lynch and his party have a
thousand times said and written. tina. they
were traitors and rebels. Wien there never
has been conviction for either treason or
rebellion.
Judge Lynch said nothing OF the kind:
nothing that could have been. by any rea
sonabIe and honest hearer, tortured into
anything like it. The point had been made
by plaintiffs attorneys tina: if. in the
original publication. on account OF which
the libel suit had been brought, the crime
of perjury had been charged. and if. in
plaintiffs petition. that published charge
had been alleged as foundation of the ac-
ton, that Defendants answer must either
fully justify the charge or deny the publ
cation: that, il justification were the plea,
the Jurisdiction should be as broad as the
charge itself. In other words, defendant
justifying the charge. should aver the
truth Of their original and published ale
CATION of crime and should sustain their
justification, if they would make their plea
etfectual, by such proof as would convince
the jury that the plaintiff lad really been
guilty of the crime imputed.
Crime exists here only by statute. The
technical pleadings required by criminal
practice are perhaps not requisite in libel
suit, even when an imputation Of crime
forms the basis of the cause: but evidence
equivalent in substance to what would be
required in trial for perjury OF theft
would be required in a libel suit on account
OF a publication charging perjury Or theft.
when the defendant attempted to establish
the truth Of his publication.
Judge Lyach's ruling did not cover all
the points here recited, but it went no fur
ther. The lawyers in attendance at the
trial will bear out the assertion that this
version OF the matter is correct. and that
the Herolds account (editorialIy promui-
gated. is not. LEN.

CONTRARY TO TRADITION Fishing par
ties are quite fashionable just now, as
croakers. trout, sheephead and striped bass
are plentiful. A party of six excursionists
last week started out from here on a small
schoousr. 20 coast as far as Biloxi and re-
turn. Contrary to all tradition. the supply
of bread and provisions was large. and the
quantity u: whisky very diminutive. Con-
to learn that the gentlemen met with con.
tinual contrary winds and threatening
storms. no: t. mention a word about the
half.doZea OF more Of mosquitoes. Perhaps
the lass-.aid about that excursion the better.
