CIOJ VU
The clothes we purchased in Lon
don were paid for in gold. The
prices given US in New York are for
paper money. At the time the goods
were bought in London, gold was
worth a premium of ten cents on the
dollar over American paper money
here, which would add 81 10 to the
cost of the goods in London; a total
of $50 10 there, against SlS9 in the
United States.
Sixty per cent of the price a lady
pays for silk in this city, is for the

UNWILLING THE LINCOLN STATUE AT
anRINGrIEIn.

UNWILLING THE LINCOLN STATUE AT
SPRINGFIELD,
Animmcuse eoncourse Of people assem-
bled at Springfield, ILL.,, Thursday, to
witness the unwilling of the statue of
Abraham Lincoln, which was recently
placed In position on the National Lincoln
Monument in Oak Ridge Cemetery. The
weather was propidous, and the occasion
was one which will be long remembered
by any who had the pleasure of partici-
patlng in it. There were a number OF
military companies in the procession, and
civic societies, including the Knights
Templar, Knights OF Pythi1s, Ojd Eel
lows, Temperance and Benevolent Socie-
Tics. There were also large number of
distinguished members Of the army, the
Judiciary, and State officers OF other
States.
President Grant and Generals sher-
man, Mcdowell, Pope and Custer, Vice
President Wilson, Hon. Z. Ccliax, ex-
Secretary Borie, Secretary Belknap, and
hundreds Of other distinguished men Of
the Nation were there 10 day to pay their
tribute Of respect 10 the memory of
Lincoln. The universal verdict Of the
forty thousand people who were there,
was that Meade had faithfully and truly
represented not only the features, bat the
correct idea Of the great Presidezt.
Those VINO made exiemporaneOus
81 eeches after thu uDveiNng. including
Grant, Wilson, Sherman, Colfsx and
Robert S. Lincoln, gave their testimony
that the statue IVES a true presentment Of
Mr.. Lincoln, as did Hon. jesse X. Dubois
and Gov. Oelesby.
in the evening the whole city was illu-
minated in honor Of the great occasion.
Arches trimmed with evergreeus and
flowers, wreaths stretching from house
top 20 housotOp, flags and banners
everywhere put the tNNn in gala attire.
Generals Grant aud Sherman and Vice
/ President Wilson had reception at the
Governors mansion.
The President said 10 his speech:
From March, 1864, to the day when -
hand OF an assassin opened a grave for
Mr.. Lincoln, then President Of the u1icd
States, my personal relations witt him

The 8. Reading Easlc' and Ross.

MEs5Rs. RITTER uAwLEY CONVICTED
OF LlDEL-A NEW TRIAL ASKED ron.
In the case of Wm. s. Ritter and Jesse
q. lawley, charged with hLelling Girls
tan X Ross, the argument was opened
and concluded Wednesday. Judge Allison
then charged the jury that he wUuld no,
waste time in discussing tho question
whether the Article was libcllous, as il
was admitted TO be so by the defendants.
The question then was whether tue
Commonwealth had made out the essen
lial parts Of the case. IL must prove,
iirst, publication. ANY paper that is sent
from o1e person to another, to which
others might obtain access and kuowl-
edge OF It's contents, Is a publication. lie
reviewed the testimony as to the putiica-
llaS Of the Reading Eog,e In this city, aud
said that If they were sati fed that either
OF the two papers were sent here or given
10 persons here, then the publication
would be complete. If they Ind other
wise, the case must fall.
lie explained the difference in The old
and new law to the jury, and said "Can
the publication of matter which Is ed.
mitted to be false be considered q matter
~ for puollc Information Can an
article containing the fonlest asperslou
upon the character OF citizen be con-
sldered proper for public information 2
Even if all the charges contained In the
article were true ii might be then a Quus-
tlon whether such private matter was
proper for public information"
Tuis being admittedly false, the article
In the new constitution relative TO privi.
legged publications had no application TO
the present case. The question then
reverted 10 whether tho defendants had
published a maiicioG3 libel. They were
to Judge OF the malice from the paper
itself, aud net 10 seek for any expressed
malice. They must Judge whether the
article was calculated 10 hold Mr.. Ross
up to ridieule, odium or disgrace,
and he instructed them thai the law in a
llbellous publication presumed malice. II
presumes that the publisher meant TO do
what he did Go.
The old law is not affected at all BY the
new Constitution in its application to a
case OF these Circumstances, and the
defendants were entitled TO prove the
truth, but they must stand or fall upoa
the defence they select, The defence
set up want Of actual legal
malice, ana Il seems apparent
that neither Of the defendants
knew anything about the article until il
appeared But the only defence upon
which be thought they could rely was Ia
show that they exercised a careful euper-
vision over the publication Of that PAPER,
such as IL required.
The jury, after an absence Of about
half an hour, came into couft, and rem
deFed verdict Of guilty.
a motion for new tial was made,
and tho defendants were permitted tc
renew their bail.

POEM or THANKS TO MS FRIENDS.
The New York Tribuneiprlnted o brief
report of Bayard Taylor's reception at
Cuba Hill, and In response the following
appears on It's editorial page Wednesday {;
PoEr's WELCOME HOME.
The demonstration last week In The
dockessin Valley, In honor Of Mr..
Bayard Taylor's return, appears, from
the account printed on our third page, to
have been as hearty and generous as It
was deserved. MIR. Taylor's old friends
and neighbors by hundreds came from
far and near. The pavilion wal splendid
with flowers aud Autumn leaves ;
passages from his poems were framed in
ivy, and the German and American
Gags were intertwined. 10 a brief,
private note, received in New York by
one Of his literary friends, Mr.. Taylor
says "The speeches, songs and poems
quite overwhelmed me. Il seemed thai
all once thought best and supposed "a
be forgotten was revived-,hat all the
recognition 1 craved In vain was poured
upon me at once. For three hours had
10 keep myself, by forcs OF will, from
crying like a baby"
Mr.. Taylor seems to have been
thoroughly taken by surprise By thI
magnitude OF the demonstration. In
satisfied with his brief speech, he hal
sought to make more careful response
which we have the pleasure of printing
herewith:
