THE LIBEL Law OF PENssYLvArrA.-The
Pennsylvania constitutional convention on
Tuesday adopted an amendment to the libel
law in that state, which provides that no con-
publication Of papers relating TO the official
conduct OF officers or men i'm public capacity,
or TO any other matter proper for public inyee-
such publication was not maliciously or negll-
gently made shall be established 20 the safis-
faction Of the jury. And In all indictments for
heels, tue jury shan have the right 10 deter
mine the Law and the facts, under the direction
OF the court, a. In other cases Thus Pennsyl-
wanna will get rid Of her present anti-Iiberfy,
anti-free press law, which now disgraces her
statute books, on the subject Of libel, and which
excludes proof Of the truth Of the matter al
legged as a justification or amelioration even OF
publication. Such q Law would never have
been made other than In the interest of corrupt
politicians, in order that they might with i'm
punity revel in their rascalitles, to the injury
